@JoieD- We both must read a lot to try for so many. Good luck to you too.
@Knerd- I have not read Joust yet so I don't know about it. I read the Valdamar books. I like her a lot, but the main reason why I have read so many of her books is because I just managed to get all of the Valdamar books and I wanted to read them in order. If I stopped to read anything else I would never finish them. I have a bad problem of skipping around. If I were you I would try one of her Valdamar books. I like them more then the others and at least then you would know that you didn't like her books. My favorite book by her his Take a Thief. Unlike many of her other books you don't really have to know the characters from the other books to understand what is going on. You might try it or the Arrow series as they are the first ones.
