jsiegel Posted November 15, 2005 #76 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Question about the Stephanie Plum series by J. Evanovich... Do they need to be read in order? I have just started One for the Money, and love it. But I have the ability to load Hard Eight onto my iPod for our holiday sailing. Would I be jumping the gun listening to Hard Eight before reading the rest? Some major characters in Eight haven't been introduced in One, so I recommend reading a few more between before you listen to Eight.

suziehmkr Posted November 15, 2005 #77 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Great! Thanks! Hadn't thought of that! Will work on finding the others too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda the Book Lover Posted November 15, 2005 #78 Share Posted November 15, 2005 suziehmkr, Time to get a personal hand held computer to download the books and you can pop it in one ear and the ipod in the other! :) Sure you miss that great stereo sound but then you can have your music and story too!

Cruisin' Chick Posted November 15, 2005 #79 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Tina, I'm also trying to narrow down what books to take. Will probably change my mind between now and the 22nd.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarletohara Posted November 15, 2005 #80 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I like to read true crime books; anything by author, former policewoman, Anne Rule. Also like crosswords and Terry McMillan books as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suziehmkr Posted November 15, 2005 #81 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I could just see myself out there with all of these wires around the water! LOL I love the iPod idea because on my last cruise, I brought books but never did read them. I plan to be at the pool quite a bit this time since DH will be occupied by a friend sailing with us so I get some true sun time! Drinks brought to me, someone reading a truly good story to me.... sun shining... Ah, I can't wait! Back to the original topic... love anything by John Grisham (well almost anything, just a couple of duds in his works), loving the Stephanie Plum series. Read Skipping Christmas, by John Grisham after we booked the cruise since we are on a holiday sailing and it is a very quick read. Big Harry Potter fan, but the books are so big - so that might be an ebook or audio option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindy97 Posted November 20, 2005 #84 Share Posted November 20, 2005 When I cruise I always bring along some "movie star" type magazines (People, In Touch, OK, Star, etc) as well as some "trash novels." I always offer the magazines to the younger of the cruise staffers who've I've had contact with, and they always want them. If the novels have a theme I think that they might like, I offer those as well. All of these seem to be appreciated and are passed from hand to hand during the cruise. I make sure to let them know if they aren't interested that they should just say so. If I have any other books I'm done with and not bringing home, I lay them down on a table in one of the "alleyways" of the ship. They are always gone within a few minutes. I know I could donate them to the library, but I rather the one on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm ashamed to say that I have discarded used paperbacks, but will no longer do so. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
