Obviously I haven't told you what a rebel I am! Decided I didn't want to read the whole series, so just read the ones I was interested in. I think you liked her more than I did. I didn't dislike her, her books just weren't 5 star for me.That's what makes horse racing, as the old saying goes.

Oh dear, I'm falling behind! 36 books to go, and only 2 months and a week to read them in!
C., it's been a bit since I read the series, so I have wool brain when it comes to thinking about reviews like yours. I think I also read pretty uncritically, just because I was enjoying the books so much. I kept them (I send most of the books I read out into the Universe to find their new homes) & will hopefully reread them before too much longer, and my rereads always pay more attention to these kind of details, since I'm not avidly reading for plot.

I reached the top! 100 books = Mt. Everest done & dusted! Now I need to start posting in the next level but don't know how to get started there.2C.Death of a Celebrity was added to my TBR mountain 8/31/2009.

Wild Inferno
Wild Sorrow
Wild Penance
I chose these 4 books not only because they are a series, but also because the first two words are physical and the last two are emotional.

Carolyn, I'm so sorry I missed this thread out. I send lots of warm, comforting hugs your way, with empathy, since I lost my Charlie over a year ago and still see her sweet face in the corners. I wonder if I'll ever be able to have another cat -- I haven't been able to relate to any others since she's gone. Housesitting at the moment, which includes 2 cats, and there just isn't any spark. I've been wanting a border collie mix -- maybe it's time to do dogs instead of cats?I will say that the pain of losing your pet slowly eases, and I assume becomes just a faint memory with time. At least I hope that's how it works!
