She doesn't write fast enough

I am a scrapbooker and mystery lover, so this book seemed right down my alley. I read her first book so fast my Kindle was panting from the exertion. The second book is even better, and the entire spa experience was so hilarious, it nearly killed two people (I was reading the segment aloud to my friend Sandie, who was driving at the time, and we both got to laughing so hard the car joined in!) So- here it is, mid-May 2010, and WHERE IS BOOK THREE?!! Someone needs to be lighting a fire under Ms. Slan...

Kiki's adventure continues

I love this series of books. You will enjoy reading the continuing saga. I actually read this book first, but Joanna did such a good job of peaking my interest I actually purchased the first book and have since read the latest book. Can't wait for the next one.

Cut, Crop & Die

I am not interested in the scrap booking hobby so I wasn't sure I would like to read this book. I almost purchased it once, then decided against it. I saw a copy at our local library and checked it out. I couldn't but it down after I began readng it. I loved it. I skipped over all the scrap booking hints included, but I am sure they were very helpful to scrapbookers. The story line and characters were great. I'd buy the next book in this series when it comes out.

Well Crafted Page Turner!

As a librarian and a professional reviewer, I have the pleasure of matching readers to books frequently, and constantly reading new books. I brought this book on vacation this week, and could not put it down! Luckily my book light had new batteries! The Kiki mysteries are wonderful mysteries. Kiki herself is her most enjoyable when she is making mistakes, and she makes plenty. I found the depiction of tween daughter Anya in this one to be hilarious, right on target with mood swings and telling her mother to get a life. I then smiled when Kiki agreed with her about getting a life. The clues and red herrings in here will keep even seasoned mystery readers guessing. I was so surprised by the turns in her personal life, too. What is so fun about these too is the scrapbooking elements. I love the new ideas Kiki comes up with to bring business into the store where she works, from working with Alzheimer's patients to make memory books to making wedding books. It made me want to make a scrapbook of my vacation. Get this one for yourself and for the mystery lovers in your life. I am sure this one, like Joanna's previous Kiki mystery, will be nominated for lots of awards. I will be putting it on the Staff Favorites display as soon as I get back to work!

A must read!!!

"Cut, Crop, & Die" is a must read! The sequel to "Paper, Scissors, Death", this book has everything you could want..a perfect blend of mystery, drama, romance and even scrapbooking! You will adore the main character, Kiki Lowenstein, and her complicated life. I became so involved in the book that I couldn't put it down. Book #3 in this series can't come soon enough. Don't miss out on a great read. I highly recommend "Cut, Crop, & Die" and look forward to more great stories from author Joanna Campbell Slan!
