Foul Play by Janet Evanovich

This book was pretty silly, as most of Janet's books are, but I laughed out loud repeatedly. The book follows Amy as she loses her job as a children's TV show host to a chicken and gets a job at a vet office, where the chicken is subsequently stolen from. Amy is blamed when she walks into the office the next morning, unknowingly, and carrying fresh, homemade chicken noodle soup.

Very funny, even my husband was laughing out loud.

The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart

I read this YA book just for fun and it was a lark! I'm going to recommend it to my friend Meredith, as I think she will enjoy the word play. Synopsis from B&N:
"Frankie Landau-Banks at age 14:
Debate Club.
Her father's "Bunny Rabbit."
A mildly geeky girl attending a highly competitive boarding school.

Frankie Landau-Banks at age 15:
A knockout figure.
A sharp tongue.
A chip on her shoulder.
And a gorgeous new senior boyfriend: the supremely goofy, word-obsessed Matthew Livingston.

Frankie Laundau-Banks.
No longer the kind of girl to take "no" for an answer.
Especially when "no" means she's excluded from her boyfriend's all-male secret society.
Not when her ex boyfriend shows up in the strangest of places.
Not when she knows she's smarter than any of them.
When she knows Matthew is lying to her.
And when there are so many, many pranks to be done.

Frankie Landau-Banks, at age 16:
Possibly a criminal mastermind."

Frankie masterminds so many great pranks that you find you want to be her.

Unwind by Neal Schusterman

I'm not going to say too much about this book, in case some of my book club members tumble upon this post before July 15. It is really good, you should read it. Here is the blurb from B&N:
"

In a society where unwanted teens are salvaged for their body parts, three runaways fight the system that would "unwind" them

Connor's parents want to be rid of him because he's a troublemaker. Risa has no parents and is being unwound to cut orphanage costs. Lev's unwinding has been planned since his birth, as part of his family's strict religion. Brought together by chance, and kept together by desperation, these three unlikely companions make a harrowing cross-country journey, knowing their lives hang in the balance. If they can survive until theireighteenth birthday, they can't be harmed -- but when every piece of them, from their hands to their hearts, are wanted by a world gone mad, eighteen seems far, far away.

In Unwind, Boston Globe/Horn Book Award winner Neal Shusterman challenges readers' ideas about life -- not just where life begins, and where it ends, but what it truly means to be alive."

Read it.

Heart of the Sea by Nora Roberts

3rd in the Trilogy. Darcy has always claimed that she only wants a rich man who can provide for her want of material things. She doesn't plan on falling in love, ever. Until Trevor Magee shows up on the scene.

Narrator wonderful. The whole series is emotionally satisfying!!!

Tears of the Moon by Nora Roberts

The 2nd book in a trilogy. Brenna O'Toole has a "yen" for Sean Gallagher, a man she has known all her life. She figures a good roll in the hay will cure her of it, and so she proposes it to her. Sean is horrified...Brenna is like his sister. Then he starts to think of it and decides that she isn't going to get rid of this 'yen' so easily. Especially when Carick, the fairy king, gets involved.

Again, the narrator is wonderful. I love the Irish accents and Gaelic words. Both the book and the audio are worth the time.
