Mercedes Lackey reading challenge 2011

My fourth and final reading challenge of 2011 will be to read Mercede Lackey books. I've read most of her Valdemar series many, many times. I had most of the books. Stupidly, when I decided to purge my bookshelves (pre-reviewing era), I got rid of the entire lot. Yes I regret it. They went to a good home (charity), but still, I wish I hadn't got rid of them! I've started re-reading them in French, which is fun (although not sure they have them all). However, Mercedes also wrote a load of other books which I've never read. So 2011 I'll be reading the other books and hopefully 2012 I'll read the Valdemar series (and buy them all)

Edited to add I'm going to try to read one a month. I'd love more but life's changed and I've got to be realistic.
