Stephanie Plum is at it again. This time she is on the hunt for Kenny Manusco. Kenny shot one of his best friends in the knee and then, he ends up dead. Kenny missed his court appearance for the knee shooting and Stephanie is going to hunt him down. For this case she has a little extra help, some she wants and some not so much. Some of the same characters from One for the Money are back in this second edition. My favorite by far though is Grandma Mazur. She plays quite a big role is this book.

I laughed out loud several times during this book. I'm sure people were looking at my strangely. I really hope that Grandma Mazur is going to keep making her appearances. She adds a great variety to Stephanie's cases. You never know what she is going to do.

So, I'm three books down for my Janet Evanovich challenge. My goal is to read everything she has ever written. She has written over 50 books so I guess this should take me about a year or more to complete.

You need 6-8 players or it's just ok. (0 more)
A board game without turns!!

You hunt your opposing team in their submarine using sonar, drones and your wits.

You have to keep track of their movements you own subs position and condition. All in real time as players shout commands and damage conditions the game is chaotic and fast paced.
Teamwork will win the day.

My only negative is you need at least 6 players for this game to come alive.
  
Meet Trixie, Honey, and Jim as the trio form a friendship and hunt for the treasure that is supposed to be in Jim's great uncle's old house.

This is a very favorite series from childhood on, and I just love meeting the characters again for the first time. They aren't quite themselves yet, and can be annoying as a result. Just know they grow stronger from their friendships by the next in the series.

Only watched the first three episodes and Im already booked when I started watching the first episode I had been playing Witcher 3 wild Hunt already and the show reminds me alot of the game from geralt to triss and yennifer. At first I wasn't sure about Henry cavill as geralt of rivia because he's superman but he has the role down to a tee from his look his voice just perfect. Anyway gonna keep watching the remaing five episodes to see where the show goes and also keep playing Witcher 3
