2002 Reading List Add-Ons _____________________________________________________________________________ Book Author Start Date Completion Date _____________________________________________________________________________ One For The Money Janet Evanovich May 9, 2002 Completed on a rainy day on the bus back from shopping or was it returning video’s. Liked the bus a lot bought on a whim from Walmart. Will try to complete the Stephanie Plum series. The book was hilarious and Stephanie was a very fun character. It was not a labor to read. I finished this book quickly. I enjoyed reading this book it was just my style! Good writer!!! Crocodile on the Sandbank Elizabeth Peters July 5, 2002 July 6, 2002 Audio book got when I renewed my library card. First book in the Amelia Peabody series. Renewed library card on July 3, 2002 mainly because was escaping the heat wave. Would have done it the day before but an ATM machine ate my card. In order to pay my fines I used some of the money Dad gave me. I think I owed about $52 and some change in fines. The reason I started going to the library was that I didn't to want to get tempted into spending extra money and thought it would be fun to listen to audio books at work since it appears that the other Gail no longer works at my job. The other Gail liked to get lots of audio books from the library and would let us listen to them at work. Got bored with the over descriptiveness in the book. Seemed to take for ever for the mystery to begin. Then when it did begin it wasn't all that interesting. Who cares about some stupid Mummy running around? Everyone knows that it’s someone else dressed as a mummy. The Street Lawyer John Grisham July 8, 2002 July 8, 2002 I see this as a replacement for the Grisham audio book I think I own some where in my apartment but can’t seem to find. I have listened to a lot of Grisham audio books. It’s a habit of mine. My goal is to listen to all of his books as I have never read a single one. This was a typical gripping Grisham book narrated by Michael Beck. Beck has narrated a number of Grisham’s books. I really, really, really liked this book! Kind of made me think about going to law school so that I could become a writer. The Body Farm Patricia Cornwell July 9, 2002 July 9, 2002 Another audio book. I think this is the first book in the Kay Scarpetta series. It was good but I had the plot figured out before the book was finished. This is the second Scarpetta audio book I listened to. The first one was Unnatural Exposure which I got from an audio book club. Will try to complete the Scarpetta audio series as I am doing the Grisham series. I like Scarpetta she kind of reminds me of Agent Scully on the X-Files. The descriptions of her work can be a bit harrowing and squeamish worthy at times. Scarpetta is a very sharp Medical Examiner.
