Plum Doplegangers.......

Ok to fill the void of no new episodes of Bones until this fall I have stumbled upon a book series by Janet Evanovitch. A co-worker recommended the series to me awhile ago and I had picked up 1 & 2 but hadn't read them until last week. Yes, I read 1 AND 2 in less than 1 week! The main character Stephanie could be my alter ego I swear! Minus her lack of tactical skills and overall pansy nature she and I could be long lost twins! This series is about a spastic, un-trained, socially awkward woman that is trying to pay the bills as a bounty hunter. Stephanie gets herself into some pretty outrageous situations.... much like I myself get into from time to time. Although I have never been shot at 3 separate times in one day nor has an embalmed penis been mailed to me and my grandmother does not make a habit of disrupting funeral services or shooting an already dead chicken in the butt while it is on the dinner table waiting to be served. I have also never had a sociopathic professional boxer break into my home and try to assault me and then leave a cut up prostitute on my fire escape. (I prefer to keep it this way)
My favorite part is the chemistry between Stephanie and Morelli! It is as good as the sexual tension between Booth and Bones!! So far book 2 is my favorite mostly because of Grandma Mazur gets into ALL kinds of trouble!
