Books read on vacation

Well I was able to read four books on this trip.

Lost in a Good Book by Jasper Fforde: This is the second book in the Thursday Next series. These books just suck me in. They involve characters in books coming alive, Thursday entering and exiting books, and usually involve a good mystery. I was definitely Lost in a Good Book and look forward to the next one in the series.

The Big Over Easy : a Nursery Crime by Jasper Fforde: This was the story of Humpty Dumpty's great fall told as a mystery. It was a bit slow at start and I was not sure I was going to like the main character, but once I got into the book it was great. I could not put it down once I got going and read this mainly on the flight from Hawaii to Seattle--interrupted for the concert (see previous post).

Plum Spooky by Janet Evanovich: This is a between-the-numbers book from the Stephanie Plum series. I don't really know what to think about these books. Stephanie already has two guys vying for her attentions, does she really need a third? They also introduce the paranormal to this series and really the mysteries are enough for me. It was standard Stephanie Plum and it is always humorous to read about the situations she finds herself in!

The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd: This is our May book club book so I thought I would get a head start. It was pretty good. I do think I want to see the movie now. I enjoyed the story and felt sorry for the main character. I almost want to know that all turns out ok for her at the end, but I think it does and that is what I am going to believe.

So I managed to read four books while on this vacation. I consider that a good sign for a vacation as I like my downtime and don't always want to go, go, go!!!!
