You finished so many books and among them 2 which I've read and enjoyed - The Sinner and Hold Tight. I've never read China Bayles - is it a series you'd recommend?

[Melodie]

I've read 4 on your list and agree with your opinions. WORMWOOD is probably my least favorite of the China Bayles books, but still not bad. One of my favorite series!

Marcy, I can't believe you haven't read a China Bayles book! I'd say most of them are pretty good. She does have a few duds though. I started reading them in 2003, and I should be caught up after her newest comes out in April. You might want to try the first one - Thyme of Death - it was very good!

Glad it wasn't just me that didn't care for Wormwood Melodie. I'm in the middle of Holly Blues and it is so much better ;)

Thanks, Susie - I will check out Thyme of Death.

Marcy - I will add my recommendation of the Susan Wittig Albert China Bayles series!

Okay, I'm sold. With the 3 of you recommending it, I'm eager to try China Bayles.

[Susie]

Marcy - we are always glad to help you add another series to your TBR pile ;)

Marcy: I will say I think I liked getting to know China in the middle section of the books best, and liked Witches' Bane (#2) more than Thyme of Death (#1)then really enjoyed the rest of the books starting with Mistletoe Man (#9)

I agree. WITCHES' BANE was better than THYME OF DEATH. I never read the 1st book until a few months ago. I think the first one I read was CHILE DEATH.
