For the past year or so I've been doing jigsaw puzzles (and a few Lego sets) to stop myself from falling asleep on the couch while wtaching TV in the evenings.

Thank you. I feel I must state here that while I appreciate such loyalty (and OCD) to the book series, t'was not planned that I should reap more sales from repeats purchases
