When I’m not under blog or release-day deadlines, I’d say I fit into that category. Some readers characterize themselves as “mood readers”. Whatever it is, they’d better figure out what’s going on before they lose their new manager, Ms. Lula is convinced that it’s a case of alien abduction. Over the last month, three have vanished from the face of the earth, the only clue in each case is one shoe that’s been left behind. World famous for its pastrami, coleslaw and for its disappearing managers. There’s nothing like a good deli and the Red River Deli in Trenton is one of the best. Here’s the Goodreads blurb for Look Alive… Although my anticipation for Look Alive Twenty-Five was no different, my overall opinion at the end of the book definitely was. That is why each time one of the Plum books is released I eagerly devour every chapter. I’ve made decisions on love and doughnuts for her (we agree on Boston Cream doughnuts, but she’s stubbornly resistant to my plans for her long-term hookup with Ranger), and her family and friends are as familiar to me as my own. I’ve been following this Evanovich character from Book 1, so I feel like she and I are friends. Maybe I see a lot of who I am and who I’d like to be in her. The reason I like Stephanie Plum is that she is quirky, energetic and ultimately average, but – when pushed – she becomes brave and heroic. Steph is the protagonist of Evanovich’s Plum series that began with the book One for the Money (You may have accidentally seen the 2012 movie adaptation of that book starring a brunette Katherine Heigl – if you did, I won’t judge you because I’ve seen it more than once). Most consistent readers have at least one lit character that they label as a favorite for one reason or another. Why does that particular character stand out to you? Are they creative problem-solvers? Handsome mavericks? Are they earthy survivalists or alien wise men/women? Are they powerful and heroic or freaky and flawed? Lovers or fighters? What do you love about your favorite literary characters? Are they intrepid travelers? Ultra-genius spies? Are they strong-willed detectives? Beautiful romantics? Once again, the key to true happiness is lowered expectations. Published November 13, 2018, by Putnam Pub Books
