Holy cow...29? I thought it was only around 20 still!
It's actually higher then that now. The newest one will be 34. It's crazy.
that's crazy!!! I would never be able to keep up :) Is the story still good? Same Characters? hmmm?
The same characters, all with a new case to solve. It's like Nancy Drew for adults, but the difference is that the books do progress. The characters get married and have babies, and their lives move along with the stories. I've read almost all of them (I'm about 3 behind, 33 and 34 haven't been released yet), and I can honestly say that it's the only long series I've ever read that remains consistently good. They have ALL been solid 4 star books.
Oh great!! I just downloaded the 2nd and 3rd book... I really liked the first one but at the time my library did not have Glory in Death and now i've got them all in ebook form. Yay!
I wouldn't read them back to back. There's so many and back to back would probably burn you out. I've been reading them since there were only about 8 or nine in the series, so I read them in between lots of other books.
If it can be compared to Nancy Drew for adults, I could see why there'd be no need to have to read them back to back.I am a horrible series finisher. There are some series that I really like and still haven't finished.
It's hard to keep track sometimes... There are so many good books out there to read and with group reads, buddy reads and challenges you can get overwhelmed. Oh, that just might be me :) Amy have you read the first in death book?
I have not. The long series thing threw me off. I really do plan on it at some point.
Yeah, I let a year go by sometimes and then read like 3 in a row, then take another break. I would read them in order though, just because it does follow their lives. And it could introduce a new character that will be reoccuring. Each case is unique though.

Can't wait for you to read my favorite scene in book 4!
The 'office scene'? It's a wonderful one for sure :)
That's the one. It's forever burned in my brain because I was like...(view spoiler)Wendy, you can read that after book 4, hah.
hahaha... I was like... (view spoiler)Wendy don't kill me *big grin* are we going to read #5 soon, i'm dying to read it!
We're so mean to Wendy.
We really are... I just can't help myself, honest truth.
You two! Posting that in my thread, which just makes it extra tempting! I'm going to read it as soon as I'm done with A Lady's Lesson in Scandal. Then I can read you're spoilers. :P

By both you and Stacia updating your 'reading lists' that means I need to do mine... haha!
LMAO, I remembered to do mine after Stacia did.
It looks like she had a good list this time around. I see a lot of high ratings.Yay that I've read all of those books except for 2 of them, and both of those are coming up soon on my rotation.
