Historia
You've lost your job as a department store lingerie buyer, your car's been repossessed, and most of your furniture and small appliances have been sold off to pay last month's rent. Now the rent is due again. And you live in New Jersey. What do you do? If you're Stephanie Plum, you become a bounty hunter. But not just a nickel-and-dime bounty hunter, you go after the big money. That means a cop gone bad. And not just any cop. She goes after Joe Morelli, a disgraced former vice cop who is also the man who took Stephanie's virginity at age sixteen and then wrote the details on a bathroom wall.

Too much describing of a serial rapist's terrorizi
Revisado: 12-16-22
I only made it through 7.5 chapters. I thought a "fish out of water" story about a woman stumbling into a skip tracer/bounty hunter profession sounded like it would be pretty good.
I was unprepared for about 20% of the story to be about a serial rapist, who "everyone (neighborhood, manager, police) knows does this " terrorizing the young woman protagonist.
We see a description of the intention of the attempted rape of the young woman in the middle of a gym by a powerful male pro athlete while a group of his "yes men" "hangers on" sat and silently watched (and this man was NOT the bounty she was pursuing).. It only became an attempted rape when the progression was stopped by a hail of bullets flying thru the window, giving her a chance to escape.
After that I got to listen to repeated description of the mental terrorizing of her by the man (showing up at her apartment door in the middle of the night, yelling to her demanding she let him in, repeatedly calling on the phone, etc.) who seemed to believe that because he had "chosen" her it was his right to "have her" regardless of how she felt about it and he reminded her of it frequently.
Not my kind of story! Find myself amazed that there are 20+ novels in the series... Wish I could return this one for credit. Maybe the remaining ones are better, but I doubt I will ever know.

It was a hell of a long shot.... CIA assassin Fortune Redding is about to undertake her most difficult mission ever - in Sinful, Louisiana. With a leak at the CIA and a price placed on her head by one of the world's largest arms dealers, Fortune has to go off-grid, but she never expected to be this far out of her element.

Historia
Although she's an orphan in indentured servitude, 16-year-old Jennifer Strange is pretty good at her job of managing the unpredictable crew at Kazam Mystical Arts Management. She already solved the Dragon Problem, avoided mass destruction by Quarkbeast, and helped save magic in the Ununited Kingdoms. Yet even Jennifer may be defeated when the long-absent Mighty Shandar makes an astonishing appearance and commands her to find the Eye of Zoltar.

I find myself laughing out loud on occasion
Revisado: 11-11-19
I enjoyed this. I am a big "enjoyer" of puns (just so you know, bad puns are how eye-roll...lol).
It was entertaining and I will definitely listen to it again!

Historia
Great Britain, circa 1985: time travel is routine, and literature is taken very, very seriously. England is a virtual police state where an aunt can get lost (literally) in a Wordsworth poem and forging Byronic verse is a punishable offense. All this is business as usual for Thursday Next, Special Operative in literary detection. But when someone begins kidnapping characters from works of literature and plucks Jane Eyre from the pages of Bronte's novel, Thursday is faced with the challenge of her career.

Like the P. D. Q. Bach of Literature...

I loved this book. I like science fiction, especially the time travel genre. This was like time travel turned on its ear. I like puns, twist and turns, etc. I have listened to it over and over and every time I pick up something I missed the time before. Incredibly entertaining.
