Hi Sheila - SO many ppl on this site rave about this series. I bought the first book the other day (hasn't arrived yet) - but after I posted that I had bought it, I was strongly advised to go ahead and buy the whole series, 'cos I won't want to stop once I start! Hahaha. I've picked them out but haven't put the order through yet... Might do so today :)
