Journal Entry 4 by cheesygiraffe from Florence, Alabama USA on Wednesday, July 05, 2006

I got this either Saturday or Monday but what with moving I haven't opened any packages till today. I will read this next. I can't wait. Thanks Janet and morsie for doing this bookring.

Great book! This is one of my favorite Plum books. The ending was great too. What's next for Stephanie?

Loved it !! The thought of Grandma Mazur in her costume had me in absolute stitches.

Journal Entry 9 by MarciNYC from Howell, New Jersey USA on Monday, August 14, 2006

Okey doke... this one ended up here even though I found a copy for myself earlier this month. I'll contact the next person on the list to send it out in the next week or so.

I loved this book - more Ranger. Nummy. I don't want to think too hard about Granny's costume -- or Lula's outfits for that matter either. 

Journal Entry 10 by WestofMars from Mars, Pennsylvania USA on Thursday, August 24, 2006

Whee!! I can't wait to start reading!

However, I've got to read my book club book first, so it may take me a full week before I report back... the waiting is already killing me! 

Journal Entry 11 by WestofMars from Mars, Pennsylvania USA on Friday, September 01, 2006

Yes, absolutely the best Plum yet. If I'd been at home reading and not in a waiting room, I'd have been howling until I cried. I like that the sister and her kids and husband weren't in this one; things got way too frenetic with them around.

Lots of character development here and dare I say that Stephanie's starting to grow up a bit? I like it; it works.

All hail the Mini Cooper!

I'll check with KarinAlyssa for her new addy and get this out maybe tomorrow but probably Monday. 

Journal Entry 12 by KarinAlyssa on Thursday, September 14, 2006

It was delivered by a sexy postman earlier this morning, but not as sexy as Ranger or Morelli, but he brought me a book, so it's good ! I'll probably start it this weekend. Thanks LadyJ for sharing your book and for Morsie to organize the ring and to the WoM to mail it ! 

Journal Entry 13 by KarinAlyssa on Sunday, September 24, 2006

oh Goodness ! Ranger or Morelli, can't a gal have both ? Janet Evanovich has me hooked on that series, I love it !

It is on the way to Finland to visit Potok-Fan maybe via surface or airmail who knows ! It went via surface and even then it was around 10$ 

Journal Entry 14 by potok-fan from Turku, Varsinais-Suomi Finland on Friday, November 03, 2006

Arrived safe in Finland. I've got a couple of things ahead of this, which I hope will be ok - I'm relieved to see I'm pretty much at the bottom of the list, so assume it'll be all right. Just PM if you need me to try to speed things up. Thanks, though - I really am looking forward to it! 

Journal Entry 15 by potok-fan from Turku, Varsinais-Suomi Finland on Sunday, November 12, 2006

As I mentioned already, I had to get round to a couple of other books before this one, including number 11! A friend kindly loaned it to me, but asked if she could borrow 12 while I was reading 11. I asked LadyJ, who said yes. So before I read this, a friend will be borrowing it. Thanks, Ladyjanet!

EDIT: 16 Nov: Just finished 11. I think we've some time ago left the realm of reality and entered a sort of fantasy world - already at the end of 10, Evanovich was more or less admitting it: My life had taken on a feature film quality. I was living Die Hard in Trenton. And Bruce Willis was in drag. But why not? I think Evanovich is now writing for Stephanie fans more than new readers, and I assume we're all happy to see that Stephanie has got her figure back. There are aspects of her new RangeMan job that I envy, but not as much as I envy Ranger's apartment and housekeeper!

I'm not saying it's all a bed of roses - the horror of chicken grease that won't wash out of your hair is pretty grim - but it's kind of like bubble-gum pop music, cheering me up on a day like today when I'm home with a cold and would love to eat seven slices of American wedding cake!

EDIT 2: 29 Nov: My friend says, "I wish she’d make up her mind which of the guys she wants to be with – she should get married already!" She added, “The background narrative about the family and the ethnic background is always so interesting,” and then said she couldn't talk to me any more until I'd read the book for myself.

SITE-WATCH: I just spotted a copy of One for the Money in the sidebar. At least two different anonymous finders have left positive journal entries. :) 

Journal Entry 16 by potok-fan from Turku, Varsinais-Suomi Finland on Monday, December 18, 2006

I really enjoyed reading this! Thanks so much, Ladyjanet & morsecode, for setting this up as a ring, and thanks for putting me last and being so patient with me. I certainly think it was worth the wait, and hope Ladyjanet will feel the same. It was a real feel-good read, with slightly new twists on old familiar friends.

Sending by economy mail back to LadyJ. 

Journal Entry 17 by Ladyjanet from Normal, Illinois USA on Saturday, January 20, 2007

Back home safe and sound! I'll be passing this around at work next, then it will probably go to my niece in Michigan (if she hasn't read it already!) 

Journal Entry 18 by FranciJo from Waco, Texas USA on Friday, August 03, 2007

Thanks LadyJanet! (And a special thanks for the note outside the envelope, so I knew it was ok to open today and not a Happiness Day package!) 

Journal Entry 19 by FranciJo from Waco, Texas USA on Saturday, September 08, 2007

I loved it! This one was great. Now I'll look for a way to keep this one moving on its journey.
