Smokin’
Seventeen and Notorious Nineteen by Janet
Evanovich (audio versions)
The
Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich is great for long road trips. They make six hour drives painless. We listened to Smokin’ Seventeen and Notorious Nineteen, one going and
one coming home from a trip to Virginia.
I’m reviewing them together, because they are very similar in content
and presentation. The stories are
wonderfully predictable and entertaining.
I found both of these to be a bit more suspenseful than others we’ve
listened to. Maybe they were or maybe it
was just my frame of mind. In any event,
Stephanie Plum is great in small doses and both
Audible.com versions were a very enjoyable listen.
The Art
of Setting Stones & Other Writings from the Japanese Garden by Marc Peter Keane
Reading The
Art of Setting Stones was wonderful!
The book was divided into eight sections, each written as a meditation
on some aspect of the Japanese garden. Each
section is filled with many little moments.
I found myself taking a week to read each section, pausing to let each
small moment settle before going on to the next. Keane’s words created images and feelings
that needed to be enjoyed and absorbed, not rushed. The illustrations were as lovely as the
words. The Art of Setting Stones is a book that I will definitely revisit. A++++
