Beaumont is my favorite too, Midas. It took a while before I got into the Joanna Brady series, but I've come to enjoy that one too. I still prefer Beaumont though. :-) <BR/><BR/>I really need to set time aside to update these lists . . .Literary Felinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-77569750133078695152007-10-21T19:03:00.000-07:002007-10-21T19:03:00.000-07:00I love JP Beaumont...I like it so much, I couldn't get into Brady series after that.<BR/><BR/>I have actually read a few of this series, I must be a serial offender myself.Midashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10268573561821187971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-66279708886720193532007-08-08T20:34:00.000-07:002007-08-08T20:34:00.000-07:00Charlaine Harris is one of my favorite series authors. I adore her Southern Vampire series. The books keep getting better and better. Well, except for one in the middle, which I enjoyed, but it wasn't my favorite.<BR/><BR/>I know what you mean about those moments of sanity. I have far too many books already that I need to read and I don't need anymore, but there's always that one or two that I just have to add to the pile.

I've had book number one in my hands several times and have put it back on the shelf (apparently I have moments of sanity where I realize that I have too many books already).Terri B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12215878121282668358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-80275177856411582002007-06-02T21:37:00.000-07:002007-06-02T21:37:00.000-07:00Kathrin - Your mention of the series challenge was good timing, wasn't it? I don't mind at all if bookmark/copy the list if you want.

I enjoyed it - it is a relatively light, upbeat group of books. I have a feeling there are other series I've read, by my over 40 year old mind is forgetting them :)Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14332796775305098552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-55517089969229750072007-05-27T09:25:00.000-07:002007-05-27T09:25:00.000-07:00Historia - Thanks for the recommendation! I've actually got three of Dunnings' series books in my TBR collection waiting to be read. I just haven't gotten around to reading him yet. :-) <BR/><BR/>Violetlady - When it comes to my books, I excel at organization. LOL I haven't read too far into the Mitford series yet, but I found the two books I have read to be very pleasant and comforting. Cara Black is on my yet to read list, although I have about three of her books in my TBR collection. I haven't tried anything by James Lee Burke. I'll have to look him up. Thanks for the tip! <BR/><BR/>I do know what you mean about time being short. I feel like I haven't had much time to read at all. Maybe today . . .Literary Felinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-85759801812154882007-05-27T07:53:00.000-07:002007-05-27T07:53:00.000-07:00I admire your organization! I have recently realized that I like to read series of books. I don't read the quantity of books that you do (by a long shot), but the ones I have read (and look forward to the next ones) are: Mitford series with Fr. Tim, Cara Black mysteries, James Lee Burke series with Det. Robicheaux (waiting for the most recent). I see some on your list that I want to try. I have about 8 - 10 books right not on my TBR list and time is short these days.violetladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02029256237420904005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-84764634253845086312007-05-27T04:08:00.000-07:002007-05-27T04:08:00.000-07:00Ypu missed another series if you love books - John Dunning who writes books about a cop turned rare bookseller and still solves crimes. So far there are 5 books in the series. <BR/><BR/>Sign of the Book, Booked to Die, The Bookman's Promise, The Bookman's Wake and The Bookwomen's Last Fling. <BR/><BR/><BR/>John Dunning's website<BR/><BR/>http://www.oldalgonquin.com/home.phpHistoriahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16240118158098699822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-82682215261767536752007-05-26T18:44:00.000-07:002007-05-26T18:44:00.000-07:00Laura - It' definitely an ongoing process. LOL I could probably just read series books the rest of my life and never run out of reading material, but I do like reading stand alones quite a bit too.

The temptation to read Diana's series just hasn't hit me yet. I've heard good things about it, especially her first book. I haven't heard of the others you mentioned . . . Uh oh. More series to possibly add to the ol' wish list.<BR/><BR/>Carrie K - Yes! All good authors with great series. :-) I heard Sue Grafton speak at the LA Times Festival of Books on year and she said that the time period the books are set in is done on purpose. She wants Kinsey to do things the "old fashioned" way, make her work without the computer and cell phone, which would make things too easy for her. <BR/><BR/>I know there are a lot of paranormal series out there now that their popularity has grown so considerably, but Carrie Vaughn's is one of my favorites. I do hope you will check it out.<BR/><BR/>Joy - You all are making me glad I decided to post the list!<BR/><BR/>Kailana - Wait until you see tomorrow's list. All the series I have started collecting but have yet to read . . . I'm almost afraid to admit to it.<BR/><BR/>Marg - Thanks, Marg! Dan's books can definitely be read as stand alone's but with the continuing character, his books count as a series by my definition.Literary Felinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-2781132842573624982007-05-26T16:22:00.000-07:002007-05-26T16:22:00.000-07:00Wow!

Jim Butcher, Jasper Fforde, Daniel Silva, Sophie Kinsella (although I'm behind you on that one.) I gave up on the Sue Grafton books around M - they just started to feel very dated. Possibly because she made the choice to keep Kinsey in a realistic time frame, unlike say, Robert B Parker's Spenser novels, but it trapped her. Is she still doing that? <BR/><BR/>Must check out Carrie Vaughn.Carrie Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15585975894624687972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-26208207299303532932007-05-26T13:03:00.000-07:002007-05-26T13:03:00.000-07:00Well, here is one reader who is interested in your lists! :)<BR/>I like reading series literature too - I've read Diana Gibaldan's wonderful series (except for the last book), and I've read Rosalind Miles Geunevere series, as well as Phillippa Gregory's Wideacre series AND Dorothy Dunnett's Lymond Chronicles. Series on my shelf I haven't read yet include Mahfouz's Three novels of Ancient Egypt and The Cairo Trilogy, as well as Kevin Baker's City of Fire Trilogy. And now you know why I've thought of hosting a series reading challenge :)Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14332796775305098552noreply@blogger.com
