"Connie was a couple years older than me, a couple pounds heavier, a couple inches shorter, a couple cups bigger, and her hair was a couple inches higher than mine. Connie was pretty in a kick ass, central Jersey, third generation Italian kind of way."

This is a great quote from Janet Evonovich's book Lean Mean Thirteen.


I like it because it reminds me of me. haha




And, how about this one:

"Lula cruised down Hamilton and turned onto North Broad. The wind had cut back, and it was no longer snowing, but there was still a thick cloud cover overhead. At best, the weather could now be described as grim. I was silently rehearsing my fake speech about how I needed information for an audit. And I was making promises to myself as performance incentive. I was seeing macaroni and cheese in my near future. Butterscotch Tastykakes. Onion rings. Snickers bars. Okay, so this had all the makings of a cluster fuck, but there was a Dairy Queen Oreo Cheesequake Blizzard waiting for me somewhere."


You've gotta love a book that mentions awesome Italian girls, New Jersey, and Dairy Queen in the first chapter.

Right on (and SOOOO me)
