Bubbles Unbound.....


If you have never read a Bubbles book, you truly don't know what you are missing! Mystery and comedy rolled up in one great big ball of fun!!! I stumbled on Sarah Strohmeyer's "Bubble" series after reading a article in our local paper...seems she was going to be at a local mystery book store and I believe, if memory serves me correct, she grew up somewhere in Pennsylvania. I love to read books where the scene is in my home state or even very near me and this is where the setting begins....beautiful Lehigh Pennsylvania...well, maybe across the state from me but still in good ole PA. Bubbles Yablonsky (Polish no doubt....another reason I love her so much!) is this crazy blonde hairdresser, dressed in her hot pants and tube top, and a recent graduate of Two Guys community college, who loves to solve murder mysteries....of course her hair must be done and she can't break a nail....ya gotta love her!!! She's sorta like the Lucille Ball of mysteries. Being her and I are both of the same or close to the same background, so many things that go on with her crazy relatives I can identify with....except for the shoplifting mother...that's another story! So so much fun! Trust me, you will never cry when reading a Bubbles book.....but you will laugh out loud! Each book is a mystery in itself while at the same time she has her own little romance thing going on with photographer, Steve Stilletto. You don't have to go in the series as the author always gives you some background in each book. So, if you are ready for a light funny...make that hilarious read.....take Bubbles for a spin.....you'll never know where you might end up!

Sounds like a fun read, a little along the lines of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series, I love those.

This book has made it's way to me through the round robin and I'm really enjoying it! I've been chuckling at Bubbles' witticisms since I started reading it! Fun!

Love the Bubbles books. Lots of fun to read and I know what you mean about reading books set where you are familiar with the place and the people.
