I hope you get to most of them (Trish says there are nearly 400, a bit many for a single lifetime, I suppose, although you'd have a lovely time trying to see all of them!). Thanks for saying you enjoyed the reviews. I've enjoyed doing them.

I look forward to them next year.<br /><br />Since we try to visit as many of the National Parks as possible, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this series when I found out about it. I have several of the books, and am looking for the others. I know the library has most if not all of them.

But the writing is wonderful and there's plenty of action and the National Parks are absolutely fascinating. Seriously, it's the next-best thing to visiting one!

That isn't to say I haven't been hooked on any because I have. Hanging out with The Dishes and the Romance Bandits has definitely broadened my horizons, and narrowed my purse but that is okay.
