I am returning with my new feature... Why I love which takes place on Wednesdays. Last week I discussed my favorite book institution. And in the weeks before I discussed both the types of characters I loved and one of my favorite genres. This week's topic: favorite series.
If you want to play along, feel free to grab the image and link your post in the comments.
Why I Love...The Stephanie Plum Series
Diverse Characters.
Kooky Characters.
Okay so I love characters but the characters in this book are so easy to love. I mean let's see... Morrelli has commitment issues. Stephanie married Dickie Orr (who marries a guy name Dickie anyway), was laid off from a lingerie boutique (no worries, this happens before the series starts), and is HORRIBLE at her job. Ranger is batman. And Grandma Mazur...well...some people just like funerals
and I get that.
There is always a major mystery that the books are centered around and I enjoy it every time. The bad guy isn't predictable and the pacing is always great. If you are going to start anywhere, start with One for the Money
because having an ex-lover cop accused of murder has to be interesting.
So I love the love triangle in this series and I'm always waiting to see what happens next. The series isn't centered around romance but a variety of
Bounty Hunting.
This is definitely the best job for an ex-lingerie seller EVER. I mean...why not? If being afraid to carry a gun doesn't stop you then nothing can. Oh perhaps it sounds more glamorous than it really is. But I definitely think having to pick up old men who missed bail is better than having to track down murderers. So maybe Stephanie has to find both... and perhaps picking up the older
gentlemen who likes to go around without any clothes isn't EXACTLY the easiest thing for a person with Stephanie's skill, but that's why we love her :)
Overall.
It's hard to describe why I want to be Stephanie Plum without telling all the hilarious and funny stories that you just have to read to believe. Maybe I have a crush on both Morelli AND Ranger. Or perhaps I want an ex-hooker for a friend too. Who knows... I love it all and I absolutely can't wait for more to come.
What about you? What series do you love and why?
