The Stephanie Plum series of Books

I have to admit, I'm more than hooked. I finished the latest one, Fearless Fourteen, in about a day. Although, and I hope I'm not giving anything away, she drives the same car in the whole book.

There are 17 Plum stories, books 1 through 14 and 3 inbetween the numbers books. The inbetween books are usually a little shorter and involve a holiday and a little holiday magic. A new inbetween book is due out in January of 2009.

The books center around Stephanie Plum, a bounty hunter from New Jersey. There are so many other characters that reappear throughout the books. Luckily, her grandmother appears in them all because she is so funny. Her mother, a closet drinker, just wants Stephanie to settle down and get a job in the button factory.

Now I have to wait until January to get my next fix. C'mon, can't be that far away!

ChaCha

Have you tried ChaCha yet? You give them a question and you get an answer texted right to your phone. You can either call in a question at 1-800-2CHACHA or text a question to 242242. It's easy, painless and best of all, FREE. OK, if you have to pay for text messages, your provider will charge you but ChaCha charges nothing.

It's real people answering your questions. If you suddenly get a craving for Mexican food, call ChaCha and ask where the closest Mexican restaurant is. If you are having a disagreement with friends over who the 22nd president was, ask ChaCha. The possibilities are endless.

Give it a try, you'll be hooked (like I am).
