We had a patron asking for authors similar to Evanovich, so I have been compiling a list to make a descriptive bibliography here at the library. Toni McGee Causey and her Bobbie Faye series is the one that is bringing me back to the laugh-out-loud funny days of early Evanovich. (A review of Bobbie Faye’s Very (very, very, very) Bad Day will be posted soon.)BPL Refhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07206148409183653691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401124578729166191.post-86713334077257146142014-05-24T10:48:55.415-04:002014-05-24T10:48:55.415-04:00Kristin,

I agree, One For The Money is one of those new classics; discovering it was like finding a new favorite pair of shoes. All in a row, I still enjoyed the series. Nineteen felt particularly fresh compared to other later ones, but I agree the series changed. I'll keep reading them, though!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07754229648422848542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401124578729166191.post-27419564165703479132014-05-23T09:32:03.239-04:002014-05-23T09:32:03.239-04:00I need to go back and re-read the first one.

Maybe because I know what to expect of the characters, like Grandma Mazur, or Lula--their hijinks aren't a surprise anymore.Bobbi A.
