L #19- Nanny Returns

What a fun book! Really, it was! Nanny Returns, written by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus, is the sequel to The Nanny Diaries. I read The Nanny Diaries years earlier since my profession is that of a nanny. I also saw the movie. I enjoyed the original because it's hysterical to read about extreme-nannying. I had no idea there was a sequel until I stumbled across this one in the discount section at Barnes and Noble.

And it was just as humorous, and extreme, as the original. I loved that the timeline jumped ahead 12 years. So you get to see how Nan, Grayer, and the famous Mrs. X changed (or didn't!) in the years since the original book. A quick, easy, and fun read....perfect for poolside, while I was, you guessed it, nannying. I've even got the splashed and wet 305 pages to prove it.

L #18- The Apprentice

Thanks to probably my only reader ;) I remembered I was behind on this blog yet again. Oops! Clearly I stink at blogging.

#2 in the Tess Gerritsen "Rizzoli and Isles" series is The Apprentice. This one was once again, wonderfully written. But I must admit, I'm a little done with the Warren Hoyt story. Gah, he's creepy! Just the thought of someone breaking into my house while I'm asleep gives me the chills. I'm scared of the dark on a good day, so thankfully Matt wasn't out of town while I read these stories. I still prefer the 5th book in the series (yeah, yeah, I accidentally read them out of order), but Tess Gerritsen really hasn't disappointed me yet! This one had 366 pages.

I'm going to take a small break from Gerritsen for a few books, so that I don't get burnt out.
