Any issues with the book list you are seeing? Or is there an author or series we don’t have? Let me know!
I by far do not have all of Amandas books. But I have all of the sets of books as I call them. I am always rereading them. I always have one of her books in my bag whenever I go the doctors, or go somewhere I will be waiting. Met her at a Highlands game years ago. It was a pleasure.
