I'm so pleased that the whole series of books is wonderful. I like a series that progresses, where people grow and learn and, best of all, where no one *dies*. I ordered three more of the series and they arrived yesterday. Such beautiful covers - I keep picking them up and admiring them. I think that makes six that I have now, the first five and one other. I think these are definitely going to feature heavily in my 2008 reading.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-72990436411815288832007-11-15T03:02:00.000+00:002007-11-15T03:02:00.000+00:00I should have said that I do think the "quality is...I should have said that I do think the "quality is maintained." It is a special series because we get to see them as a couple and then as parents of quite an amazing child, Ramses. He grows up, has his own adventures, and with each book time progresses. Her last book in the series, I thought was perfectly done. (and no death, if that's something that concerns you, with main characters, as it does me) In the books where R. is older, we get to hear his words in separate passages, and as with all parents and teens, we see quite different views of the same event. Very, very wonderful books.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-26710308013999389482007-11-10T23:43:00.000+00:002007-11-10T23:43:00.000+00:00Tara: The cover art is lovely isn't it?

It looks like I might be reading all 18 if that's the case. LOL.<BR/><BR/>Kay: I agree it is a wonderful book and so much understated humour. I laughed quite a lot at Amelia's reactions to each crisis. <BR/><BR/>deslily: 18 is quite a lot for one series isn't it? And she also writes as Barbara Michaels I believe. A busy lady.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-79766770552528894352007-11-09T11:08:00.000+00:002007-11-09T11:08:00.000+00:00wow 18?!
