Another soft pick. This one had the right ingredients but somehow just didn't quite jive for me. The writing was weirdly wooden and scenes that should have felt suspenseful and engaging just... didn't. I liked the characters and the concept was great, but for me the writing kept getting in the way of the story.

RamsFan1963 It was a soft pick for me too. I expected more of a Lara Croft adventure, with intricate puzzles to solve. It all seemed to come so simple for them, without much effort or mental gymnastics 6mo
TheAromaofBooks @RamsFan1963 - it was weird to me how un-suspenseful this ended up feeling. All the snakes should have had me all squicky and instead it was just sort of ho-hum haha 6mo
robinb Hey all! Remind me where we are on our #LMPBC books? 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ Did we finish…? I‘ve totally lost track. @TheAromaofBooks @Jerdencon @bookandbedandtea 5mo

bookandbedandtea @robinb I believe we're reading our last books now. I've got The Recovery Agent, which I'm pretty sure originated with you, Robin. Not gonna lie, I'm bummed that this is nearly over. @TheAromaofBooks @Jerdencon 5mo
robinb @bookandbedandtea OK. 👍 I currently don‘t have one…was there one that got lost in the mail? 5mo
TheAromaofBooks @robinb - I think it's @Jerdencon 's book, Fragile, that got lost when I mailed it to @bookandbedandtea . I know it's not my fault but I feel really bad because I misplaced the tracking info so I don't even know where it went astray 😢 So I believe that is the book you would have read this month. I have Murder on the Tracks this month. 5mo
TheAromaofBooks @robinb @Jerdencon @bookandbedandtea - Absolutely no pressure here, but even though LMPBC isn't going to officially be a thing any more, I've really enjoyed our mystery/thriller group, so if you all would be interested in another round, I would totally be down for it. If Denise can trust me with one of her books again 😂 5mo
bookandbedandtea @robinb Sorry Robin, I should have let you know at the beginning of the month that I didn't have one to send to you this time around. Now that I think of it I'm not sure you were part of the messages where we talked about the missing book. 5mo
bookandbedandtea @TheAromaofBooks @Jerdencon @robinb I'd love to continue on with this group! 🩷 Totally understand if anyone is tired of doing it though. 5mo
robinb @Jerdencon @bookandbedandtea @TheAromaofBooks No worries! And I think I was included on your posts…just wanted to double-check that I hadn‘t missed anything. 👍 I‘ve also enjoyed reading with you all! I‘m up for the general consensus about continuing. 😊 5mo
Jerdencon Sorry - just saw this - no worries on the book @TheAromaofBooks I‘ve had books lost before too… it happens… I am up for continuing this too - I‘ve enjoyed all our books. Right now I‘m almost done with the Only survivors which I think is the last book. @bookandbedandtea @robinb (edited) 5mo
robinb If everyone is in for it, do we want to start another round in July? First week of? Later? I‘m up for whenever. 😊 @bookandbedandtea @Jerdencon (edited) 5mo
TheAromaofBooks That's what I'm thinking @robinb - read our own picks in July, and then mail in August? But I'm also fine with taking a month off if anyone needs to catch up. @bookandbedandtea @Jerdencon 5mo
Jerdencon I can do read in July and mail in August . I‘ll start coming up with some choices @bookandbedandtea @robinb 5mo
bookandbedandtea @Jerdencon I can read in July and mail in August. 😊 I'll post some ideas tonight. @robinb @TheAromaofBooks 5mo

My #LMPBC book is coming your way @Jerdencon with delivery estimate of next Monday (4/1). Please forgive the awful wrapping/taping! 😩😆 Wish I had made a better choice for this round. I had high hopes, but it ended up farcical and too over-the-top for me. 2.25/5⭐️

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! I still have to read my book this week 😝 8mo

This is exactly what you expect—a fun, fast-paced read without much depth, the kind of book perfect for a flight or an afternoon by the pool but one which will not linger long after you put it down. Still, a pick because it has lost treasure, mysterious cults, feuding exes, mayhem, and in the end, it was entertaining. First in a new series from Evanovich.

This story was humorous but, really, it was Stephanie Plum on an adventure. The story was not a turn off, so I will read the next adventure 😁.

I‘ve never read Janet Vanovich; the number of Stephanie Plum novels (28) were a bigger hill than I wanted to climb. When I saw this first in a new series, I thought I‘d give it a try. Like popcorn, it was enjoyable, but not very filling. Gabriella Rose makes her living largely stealing back expensive stuff for clients. Here, helped by kindly drug lords and her ex-husband, she‘s up against bad guy who keeps disappearing in a puff of green smoke.

Next up. Hopefully this will be something fresh and not Stephanie Plum: Treasure Hunter. I like the SP books, but it would be nice to read something new from Evanovich.

78/150 This is a pick, but it is a very soft pick. I wanted more Lara Croft, less 90s rom-com adventure. I wanted puzzles to solve, mysteries to unravel, it all seemed too easy for Gabriela and Rafer to find the treasure and beat the bad guys. I have nothing against sexual innuendo or witty banter, but I needed some good action scenes to balance it out. 3.25/5

That might have been the dumbest “mystery” I‘ve ever read. I‘ve never read this author - I know she‘s written a wide breadth - but this heroine was immature, terrible at her job, completely unempathetic, and utterly reckless. Also was this meant to be funny? Because most of the ancillary characters came off more stereotypical & racist. Wouldn‘t recco.

ChaoticMissAdventures I have never read her, this is interesting. I met her once for an event she was in and she was genuinely a horrible person to deal with. 2y
Melismatic @ChaoticMissAdventures that tracks to me, but is pretty unfortunate. I‘m assuming a lot of her work is similar to this so definitely crossing her off my list. 2y

This is a new set of characters and I assume a new series for Evanovich. The adventure story is fun, but there‘s only one fully fleshed out female character (who still has to be rescued, twice), too much of the ends justifying the means, and too much “guns are normal and good to have” in this for me to fully enjoy it. My mom loved it, though.

I had high hopes for this but bailed at 50%. Despite there being treasure hunt adventures, I was bored. It was just this happened, then this happened. No fun banter, no ridiculous humor, just ZZZZ.

Texreader Dang that‘s disappointing! 3y
Bookzombie That‘s a bummer. I thought maybe I would enjoy a new series from her even though I gave up the Plum series at around twenty-five. 3y

The Recovery Agent by Janet Evanovich is a brand new series that have you standing up and cheering! If you love Stephanie Plum, you're going to adore Gabriella Rose! Gabriella is almost the exact opposite of Stephanie. Stephanie always gets the job done but not without bumbling her way through and needing rescuing. Gabriella is the one who's going to be doing the rescuing! This girl has it all going on. Brains and beauty,...(cont in comments)

TheHeartlandBookFairy Fashion and food... She can create a mean meal on a gourmet level while planning a treck through the jungle to recover lost treasure. Strong and independent, she can take care of herself and she knows a 100 ways to take a man down when threatened. She has a strong right hand female assistant and ends up partnering (reluctantly) with her ex husband on an adventure inspired by an old family legend. Of course the ex is sexy as heck...cue the "frustration".
I can't remember the last time I read the debut in a new series that I enjoyed this much! I can't wait for the next Gabriella Rose adventure!

janeycanuck Ooh, I‘ll have to look for this. I loved the first five thousand or so Plum books but they were all the same… Exciting to hear there is a new series!! 3y

A bit different than the classic Evanovich - the plot is a bit more serious with plotlines that included drug running, violence, and cults. That said there were multiple times I laughed out loud and some great one-lines. There is a good balance of serious and funny moments, with a good match of bickering ex-spouses (I do wish there had been more banter) but the plot did feel slow at times. A great summer read. I do want to read more of this series

This morning I ran a 5K to benefit the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, who I‘ve been involved with since I lost my daddy and big brother in 2010 to colon cancer. They were such a help when my daddy was still in his fight. After having a day of hanging out with the hubs after that, I‘m digging into the first book of a new series.

tpixie Great job! What a wonderful tribute to your family. 💖💖💖 I‘ve wondered about this series. I‘ve read Stephanie Plum series till about 17 or 19 and then got distracted through Book clubs. 3y

Got my paws on this one before it‘s even covered and ready for the shelf. 😏 It‘s already so much fun; nothing earth-shatteringly new, but a standard Evanovich romp with colorful characters, and the perfect antidote to a dreary af day! #therecoveryagent #gabrielarose #janetevanovich
