I think the fun of a good MT series is knowing that you don't have to leave the characters behind after finishing a good book. The best are when a character continues to grow and evolve as a person throughout the books. At the library this week I picked up Kinsey and Me: Stories and these short stories from a favorite author, Sue Grafton and her wonderful private detective, Kinsey Millhone look to be a real treat.
Here's to more books in all of our favorite series. I need to catch up with the last couple of Grafton books too.

ann, I'm looking forward to reading that book too even though I'm really behind on the series. when I catch up with a few of the other series I currenlty have going in grp reads I'm thinking I'll start reading her's or another series I need to do some catching up on.

I agree Ann. It is a sweet experience to be caught up on a series, and bitter also in that one misses the characters and can't wait for the next installment. I am all caught up on the Three Pines series, Elizabeth George's Thomas Lynley, Deborah Crombie, Reacher, and Elvis/Joe, and I will leap like a starving woman onto the next in any of those series.
