Alla has already answered but I will throw in a backup to her. Yes, by all
means, give this series a try. I love it too. Like Danielle I got the first
nine volumes in four books and have the 10th as a stand alone. I have already
pre-ordered volume 11 from my book club which is where I got all the others.
Speaking of book clubs, I would like to recommend the one I belong to. It
used to be Zooba but they have renamed it BOMC2. It's an online club only. You
go to the site and sign up and then make your reading list. Every month they
send you the top book on your reading list. The cost is $9.95 per book and
there is no shipping charges. I have belonged to this club for over a year and
a half and I love it. You can buy any book at any time rather than wait for
it to come up on your list. I never have less than 40 books on my reading list
and have 52 on it right now and am always buying books in between mailings.
Ah, Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys - love them and have all of the original
volumes. They still publish new ones but you and I would not be interested in
them. Trixie Belden is another favorite.
I just bought the first book in the Twilight series. I have all four of them
on my reading list at BOMC2, but they just released the first one in
paperback and have it where I work, so I bought it. I will still get it from BOMC2
because just like you, Ali, my series books have to match on the bookshelf. No
mix of hardbound and paperbacks.
Speaking of that (books matching), when is Deathly Hallows going to be
released in paperback? I was late to the Harry Potter series and bought the first
five in paperback. I bought Half-Blood Prince in hardbound when it was
released, but replaced it with the paperback when it came out in that format. I'm
waiting to do the same with Deathly Hallows so all of my books match.

P.S. Alla, I have read your reviews for the Dresden Files at Amazon. I
always want to do that but can never figure out what to write. I wasn't very good
at book reports when I was in school.
