The 18th installment of the bounty-hunting Stephanie Plum series! 

Stephanie Plum is a middle age Italian-American bounty-hunter from New Jersey. Caught in a love-triangle between a cop and a criminal, and receiving tips on cases from her lady-of-the-night sidekick Lula (honestly, if you have not read any of these...they are hilarious. I don't know who is funnier, Lula or Stephanie.)

Stephanie finds herself in trouble again, and on the hunt for another bad guy. Come check out the fun!

Perfect for fans of chick-lit, female humor, thrillers, bounty-hunting/crime action. Evanovich's characters are too funny!

We have books 3 and 4 of the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer in the Booknook. Of course everyone knows of the connection of the Twilight series with the Northwest, but did you know that a small part of the first movie that was not in the book was filmed here in Vancouver? The marina scene where two of the vampires murder a fisherman in his boat was filmed at Kadow's Marina off Lower River Road. The owners Lloyd and Bev Kadow are listed in the credits as Boat Wranglers, as the film crew spent a lot of time asking for boats to be moved around to make the scenes perfect. Also the end credits for the first movie roll over an undulating water background that was filmed at the marina in the Columbia River.

For those who love murder mysteries, we have three of the Alphabet Murder books by Sue Grafton, "D" Is For Deadbeat, "L" Is For Lawless and, oddly, "M" Is For Malice. Why would an author commit to writing 26 books about murder? It's an interesting story. After a rather acrimonious divorce, Sue found herself daydreaming about different ways to murder her ex-husband. She realized that rather than wasting her time stewing in anger, she could make money and be productive putting her ideas down in novel form. All of Sue's books in this series follow the exploits of Kinsey Millhone, an orphan who was raised by her aunt Gin and who now makes her living as a private investigator in the small town of Santa Teresa California investigating all kinds of foul crimes. After a few volumes you will find Kinsey a very likable person who is very good at her job, sometimes too good! Interestingly the audiobook versions of this series are all narrated by one person, Judy Kaye who does a fantastic job, she is Kinsey Millhone. Currently the total audio book time is 222 hours in the series.
