    Anyone read Janet Evanovich’s Barney series? I’ve read her One for the Money one and tried one of the other series, but the other series just didn’t do it for me. Haven’t tried the Barney one. Recommendations?

    Great cozy mystery writer Rita Mae Brown has a non-mystery series, apparently somewhat biographical in inspiration, about the Hunsenmier Sisters who live in a town straddling the Maryland-Pennsylvania border. Always interesting, and sometimes hilarious: The WWII enemy aircraft warning adventure with the ever-quarrelling sibs patriotically joining vigil atop the town water tower may be more “ROFTLMAO” -inducing than even some of the best of the late, glorious Joan Hess’s Magoddy antics, and that’s saying an enormous lot. Those willing to dip a toe outside the mystery genre to try it won’t be wasting their time.

    Another OT, but super cozy: Look up, on YouTube or the Cheezburger ‘verse, Tracy Thorne’s “THE KITTEN SONG: I IS FIERCE”. Absolutely adorable; a sure pick-me-up!

    Julie Moffett writes the Lexi Carmichael mystery series. The first one is called No one lives twice. Lexi is a computer geek/hacker who works for the NSA, at their headquarters in Maryland. She spends her free time avoiding her mother’s matchmaking attempts and eating cereal for dinner. This series is very funny with the scrapes she manages to get herself into, and, it’s very similar to the Stephanie Plum series. Complete with 2 men wanting her affections.
