Ten Big Ones by Janet Evanovich

In the 10th installment of the Stephanie Plum series, Stephanie is getting herself in to predicaments once again. After having her car blown up by a criminal who is robbing local delis, Stephanie finds herself on a hit list of one of the local gangsters. She must now hide out until the coast is clear and it is safe for her to be out in public again. But does Stephanie stay hidden? Of course not! So now she is dodging the hit man while trying to round up her bounties.

I really enjoyed this installment of the series. There's more tension between Stephanie and Ranger in this one and it makes for an interesting story line. Looking forward to number 11.

Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty

The book starts off letting you know right away that someone has died. But who and how is left until the end. The story follows 3 kindergarten moms in Australia. Madeline the feisty but passionate friend. Celeste is the beauty with the perfect marriage. Jane is the new to town mom just trying to fit in. While Madeline and Celeste are already friends, they welcome Jane as if she has been a lifelong friend. The three stick together through the plot of the book.

I thought this was a fun read. The author did a good job of making you want to read "just one more chapter". The good thing was that the chapters were short. LOL!
