Unfortunately I also get upset when my beloved author delivers it in exactly the same way, except more shopworn each time. <br><br>I've heard the same comment about the Stephanie Plum series, Brandy, but for me it comes down to one word: Ranger.

I enjoy the series myself, but I'm not looking for major changes anymore. <br>As for the Shopaholic books, I'll admit I've never read them. *g* <br>Lifes is too short and there are too many books out there to continue to read a series you've lost interest in.

And she seemed to hit a stumbling block with one particular book in her series on Temperance Brennen. But she recovered with the next book. But some people just drag out the series too far.
