Another flyby

[angela_o]

I'm back from Ireland and the house was still standing when I arrived. Praise to the saints! Of course there was a veritable Everest of laundry to help keep it upright, but all in all things on the homefront weren't nearly as chaotic as I'd pictured them possibly being while I was a away. More on the trip later. In the meantime, here's a book update to tide you over.

#90 Out of Control by Suzanne Brockmann

#91 Into the Night by Suzanne Brockmann

#92 Over the Edge by Suzanne Brockmann

#93 Possession by A.S. Byatt

Can't wait to hear about your trip. :) And what did you think of all the Brockmanns? I think Hard Target is my favorite of all of those, with Over the Edge as second favorite.

Sorry for taking so long to reply. I've been playing catchup at home since I got back. :) I liked the Brockmanns. There's certainly a formula, but by and large it works. I'm not sure which I'd choose as my favorite, though I did like Hard Target. Generally books with Sam, Cosmo, and Jules in leading roles work for me. Have you read any of her other series? Do you recommend them as well?

I have a VM question for you as well. What do you think the odds are that the show will be cancelled after the first 13? I'm thinking that it's a very good possibility and I can't decide if I'm truly sad about it. I just don't find Veronica particularly likeable as a character anymore.

I've read every Suzanne Brockmann book she's ever published. My favorites are:

Get Lucky (part of the Team Ten series from Silhouette Intimate Moments)
Everyday Average Jones (Team Ten)
Forever Blue (Team Ten)
Night Watch (Team Ten)

The Unsung Hero (Troubleshooters)
Over the Edge (Troubleshooters)
Hard Target (Troubleshooters)

Kiss and Tell (Loveswept)
A Man to Die For (Silhouette IM)

Heartthrob (mass market)

Wow. An even ten. :)

Re VM: I have a feeling it will make it through the season, and its future success will rely on the CW's development slate.

Veronica's likeability may be addressed in the future, I think. I don't *know*, but it's hard not to see them going in that direction.
