  1. One for the Money- Janet Evanovich. from the Stephanie Plum Series Blurb from the back of the book: Stephanie Plum is down on her luck. She's lost her job at New Jersey's most down market lingerie store, her car's on the brink of repossession, and her apartment is fast becoming furniture-free. Enter Cousin Vinnie, a low-life who runs a bail-bond company. If Stephanie can bring in vice cop turned outlaw Joe Morelli, she stands to pick up $10 000. But tracking down a cop wanted for murder isn't easy. And suddenly Stephanie has another problem on her hands. Benito Ramirez, a prize-fighter with more menace than mentality, wants her to be his friend- and he won't take no for an answer. Soon Stephanie begins to know exactly what it feels like to be pursued- and the best person to protect her just happens to be on the run... My thoughts I thought the Stephanie Plum series were gonna be good since all my friends seemed to like it, they thought they were amazingly funny. So when I read One for the Money I had great expectations, but it was a bit of a let down. It wasn't THAT funny, her style of writing's good though, easy to read, but the plot is badly set out, I think. I didn't finish this book, I simply had no patience anymore.
  2. Hello, welcome to the forum!
  3. Welcome to ze forum, glomway
  4. Oh, I wanted to read Tuesdays with Morrie! Good luck with your list btw. Time Traveler's Wife is in my list as well.
  5. Yes, it's very very confusing. Because the bad people always go "no.. I'm the good guy, I'm trying to help you!" and the good people either become murderers or betray their friends. I miss the old Lost though, the first seasons where they were trying to survive and they were still on that beach, all together.. I miss that

  11. Hello there Dan! So what other books do you like to read apart from fantasy ones?

  12. Yes, they are! I have no idea how to describe their Genre, but they're REALLY REALLY catchy. Their songs are nice to dance to :lol: You should check 'em out in youtube, no?

  13. oh wow, that's quite an extensive list you got there. :lol: I'll try and get them as soon as I can, yeah? Thanks for ze recommendations!

    Have you heard of The Cat Empire?

  14. ^Yeah, that was weiirddd. And now everyone's changing too, imo. I miss the old Sawyer when he's all sarcastic and unco-operative and making nicknames for everyone (he still does it but not as much), now he's like... The hero. He's Jack now, and it's annoying me. And Jack- now HE'S The arrogant, unco-operative one. Grr.
  15. I had no idea she wrote a prequel. What is this?!
  16. I didn't really enjoy Going Postal, the last Discworld book I read. The ending was disappointing, but the start was good though, very funny but yeah, the ending was bad.
  17. Yes, I would like some recommendations! I downloaded Strange Days yesterday and was gonna download some more but didn't know which songs were the good ones. Thanks!

  18. Yes, they're on my list! I shall read them soon!
  19. I love Earth Day 08 and 07. So pretty!
  20. ..Why are you guys typing death's name in caps?
  21. YES they do. I only know some people in highschool that read books, it's a tragedy, really.
