Takedown Twenty; My Story; Fireball

Janet Evanovich's latest Stephanie Plum book, "Takedown Twenty", was pretty good. Stephanie is looking for a popular older man named Uncle Sunny, and no one in the Burg is cooperating because he's related to almost everyone. Fed up with her job and having her whole neighborhood hate her, Stephanie quits and goes to work for a butcher, which lasts all of two days. Ranger and Morelli are still giving her fits, and there's a giraffe on the loose that Lula has named Kevin.

"My Story" by Elizabeth Smart was pretty amazing. Her courage, and bravery, to not only survive her horrible kidnapping ordeal but go on to thrive and live a happy life, is pretty inspirational. I'm happy for her and her family, and I'm amazed that she's able to be so grateful.

"Fireball" by Robert Matzen is about what happened to Carole Lombard's flight that crashed into a mountain in Las Vegas. Was it really an accident, or was it sabotage? Turns out it was just an unfortunate accident. Such a shame that so many young people died, and of course Clark Gable was never the same after losing his "Ma". Neither was Hollywood.
