Thanks, Lissi.
Re the Sammy Keyes series, you and or Mayrie just told me you were doing the
series. You never gave me specific titles--which is fine, but when and if you
finish the entire series (I say "if" because I don't know how many books in it
there are) please let me know and I'll delete it from the scan list. smile
Also, Mayrie, when and/or if you finish the Sweep series. smile
