I read One for the Money today. I had planned to clean my home and spend the day doing housework. However, I could not do it because they are doing construction across the street from me. The noise was so loud with that Caterpillar machine thingy. How can I possibly do housework with all of that noise???
What else could I do but read a book?

I was thinking that I should go back and read them since it's been years! Unfortunately, I don't have them (we'd all pass them around) and I'm not sure I want to purchase them at this point!
Anyway, I can't remember the specifics of One for the Money, but keep reading! They are very quick, easy reads, but HILARIOUS. Grandma Mazur was always my favorite. This is one of the few books (series, really) that made me laugh out loud. Like I said in another post, I can't remember which number I stopped at because they did sort of go down hill, but like vh said, 1-10 (at least) are fun reads!
You'll have to come back after you've read a few to let us know what you think -- and if you're a Joe Girl or a Ranger Girl! ;)

Message: Good for you Holly!! I hope you go on to read more of them. One was just ok, but it did set up and establish the characters for the rest of the series. Book 2 has the most hilarious scene in a funeral home with Steph and Grandma Mazur. You won't BELIEVE what Grandma does! One my of favorite LOL moments from the series ever. And it will take you a good 5 or 6 books to decide if you are Team Joe or Team Ranger. By the end of book one, I had already gone from Team Joe over to Team Ranger and I'm still there all the way. I can't imagine anything changing my mind. They are all mostly good read, very light and quick and always some good LOL moments. I started reading Janet Evanovich when she wrote dime romances for Loveswept and I loved her writing back then. Her romances always had humor and I liked that. When I saw One For The Money in the bookstore, I bought it on her name alone and that was long before the series was a hit. I passed that book around to a lot of people and converted a lot of people to the world of Plum. Welcome to the dark side! LOL, please let us know if you read any more of them and what you think.
