At this point, the Alice books are a little predictable. But I've been reading them for more than 20 years, so what do I care if they're predictable? I just love that I've been reading a series for that long and new books are still coming out.

The end is in sight, though!

Oh my lord, I just went and checked to see when the last two books are scheduled to come out, and I found this note from the author:

I wrote the last book several years ago, to make sure that if anything happened to me, readers would know how everything turns out in Alice’s life.

Dear Phyllis Reynolds Naylor: you are AWESOME. Clearly she has the same paranoia as me about unfinished series!

Anyway. I really have been reading these books since I was Alice's actual age. It's fun to read them from this perspective now. I think when they're finished I'll go through and read all 28.
