I know he write a more light-hearted fantasy/sci-fic and after listening to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, I do want to give his stuff a shot.<br /><br />Terri M., the Director<br />http://secondrunreviews.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-19756535798195656552017-06-20T17:34:33.495-04:002017-06-20T17:34:33.495-04:00I loved the first book in the Shopaholic series bu...I loved the first book in the Shopaholic series but I think I gave up after book three or four.

The only series on there that I have read is the Shopaholic series; I loved it although the last couple of books were a little out there, but Kinsella redeemed herself with the last book in the series!

I've also read the first Shopaholic and the first in Darker Shade of Magic. Both were really good, but my kryptonite appears to be reading the first book and not finishing the series. :P<br />The big one for me has to be the New Jedi Order in the Star Wars universe.

It may have been my gateway Shalvis series. Fire and Thorns is another of my faves, because, well Rae Carson. I have read all the Shopaholic books. The earlier ones are better, but I will still read read all the Becky books. Kinsella amuses me. Shades of Magic is fantastic, and I did enjoy the Selection, with the first arc being stronger than the second, but all still good.
