[Brandy]

WHAT!!! that is crazy, I could see if it was the latest book but these are so old.

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

I know! It's so weird. Maybe I'll put book 4 on hold too just in case.

Update. Just put book 4 on hold. 40/40. WHY.

[Brandy]

That is so mind blowing! That book has been out for 20 years. Why is it so popular in your area all of a sudden? are you looking for the book, digital or audio?

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

ebook version, but even the audio needs placed on hold...

[Brandy]

that is so weird to me. Mine are coming so fast and yours are coming via Pony express from Russia in the winter. Here I thought that this would be a great series redo because we would all be able to get books fast.

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

I know! Maybe I'll try and see if my mom's library can get them faster so I can attempt to catch up!

[Brandy]

do it! I am on book 12. then I will bounce back to Sookie Stackhouse.

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

it's so funny in the beginning. you forget how reserved she was with the boys!

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

Okay finally finished book 2 and guess what?! book three is in (got it from my mother's library)!

[Brandy]

sounds like she has a better library. Use that one.

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

Starting book 3 today!

[Brandy]

Finally!!! I just started plum lovin' These are not my favorite but they do carry part of the story. and they are not horrible so I will stick with them. And there are only 4.

[Stephanie]

I just finished High Five and I think I laughed the entire time!! So far it’s my favorite:)

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

Holy cow book 4 came in finally. Guess I'll start it after Sookie 6

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

Okay. HOW is Stephanie not 500 pounds? I'm 30 some pages into book 4 and she's already eaten 2 boston creme doughnuts, roasted chicken, banana creme pie, and 3 diet cokes.

[Brandy]

she has an awesome metabolism! bit jealous of that. It would be awesome to eat like that and stay thin.

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

Right? 1 evening of pasta and there goes the stomach.

[Brandy]

Dude I had 3 different plum books come in all at once! So I just finished 15. Ok does anyone know if Cluck in a Bucket is a real place?

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

I'm not sure... but they have a Cluck U Chicken. Maybe Cluck in a Bucket is based off that!

[Brandy]

Oh, that would make sense with copy rights.

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

Yeah I was thinking that too. How many cars are we at? I'm still on Book 4 (I had so much going on the last couple weeks that I haven't had a chance to read) and so far... 3 cars and a funeral home lol

[Brandy]

I lost track again! the last book there were 2 ranger cars and hers and Lula's. And her apartment again.

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

Yeah her apartment blows up in book 4 too haha

[Brandy]

I remembered it happened in one of the other books. She is so destructive yet the Buick always comes out on top and her parents house doesn't get it too bad.

[Kerry]

Count me in do 15

[Brandy]

Kerry, I am a bit confused by your post. Do 15 what?

[Jessika]

Hi guys ! I’m reading this whole series too ! But for me it’s the first time. I’ve fallen in love with all the characters and this series is so lighthearted I LOVE it. The only problem I had with this series is that in the first 10 books or so, Stephanie (almost) always gets rescued buy Ranger or Morelli.. don’t get me wrong, I love me some knights in shining armor stuff.. but t got old real fast. Especially because I thought it was a “girl power” kind of book ! 😅😅
But I just read book 13 and was happily surprised when she saved herself (by accident, but whatever😂) !!
Anyway, i’m happy i found your group because I had no one to share this experience with !
Thanks 😊

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

Hi Jessika! I'm glad you're enjoying the series! I love that it's so lighthearted and easy to read. I already have book 25 on a prequel hold at my library haha

[Brandy]

Welcome to the fun! Sorry if there were any spoilers.

[Jessika]

No spoilers at all, I joined your group when I was at book 13 :)
Did you guys ever tasted Stephanie’s special sandwich?? The peanut butter, chips and olives one ? I want to try, but it kind of sounds nasty 🤢 😂😂

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

I would try it but I'm not a fan of olives lol you should and tell us how it is!

[Brandy]

Same, I hate olives so I have not tried. It does sound nasty.
I'll stick with pb&j

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

I'm back on #5 and I totally forgot Benito got out of Jail in this book!!

[Jessica]

Reading number 8!!! All I can say is “Ranger”

I'm totally team Ranter!

[Jessika]

I’m deff team Morelli ! 💖 just finished #14 and I love him and Stephanie together

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

I've been a slacker lately because I've been traveling for work, but I'm partly through No 5 and I laughed out loud because I forgot when Lula stuck her whole body into Bunchy's car so Stephanie could "sneak" away from him. Oh how I missed these books.

[Brandy]

I am so ready for the next book! November hurry and get here

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

I know, me too!

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

came out today! Starting it today :)

[Brandy]

I finished! No spoiler but I was not happy at the end

[Kerry]

I am currently reading EXPLOSIVE 18

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

I just finished it too. I was not happy about the end either (#25)

[Brandy]

I am really not happy about having to wait a year to see how this all plays out.

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

I know, me neither! I hope she's okay..

[Brandy]

(view spoiler)[ I assume that grandma is fine because the books would not be as much fun without her antics. However if it is the last book it could be the way to make Ranger step up and commit to Stephanie. I have decided that I will break stuff if she ends up with Morelli. I don't know I am just ready for her to just be with one of the other. (hide spoiler)]

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

Haha Brandy, but you make a good point. (view spoiler)[Do you really think she is only making one more book? (hide spoiler)]

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

Number 26 has a name!!! Comes out in November

[Jessica]

Woohoo 🙌 26

[Brandy]

Finally! November is just so far away. I think it will be interesting to see what happens with good ol granny. Will there finally be a choice made? and by choice I mean the right choice (team Ranger!)
