I love a good series. The first series I got hooked on was The Bobbsey Twins. Oh how I loved the Bobbsey Twins. Who that isn't a twin hasn't had a fantasy about being a twin? Then there was Nancy Drew, even though I had no desire to be a detective. Or a spy. Or anything like that! At about the same time, I was devouring books from the All of a Kind Family series. Fast forward to young adulthood and I loved The Clan of the Cave Bear and all the books that followed. I've had the final book in that series, The Land of Painted Caves, on my to-be-read list for quite awhile. Eventually, I will get to that.
What other series have I enjoyed? The ones that come to mind may or may not be the ones I enjoyed most. (Some of the series I'm listing by the title of the first book since that might be more recognizable.)
- The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (young adult series)
- The Quilter's Apprentice - Elm Creek Quilts
- The 39 Clues (middle grade series)
- P.S. Longer Letter Later (not really a series, just a book with a sequel
- Among the Hidden (middle grade series)
- The City of Ember (middle grade series)
- Maeve Binchy books (they're not really a series, just a bunch of inter-related books with some character overlap)
- The Giver (middle grade series)
- The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
- Miss Julia
- The Walk
- Harry Potter
- Twilight
- Fifty Shades of Gray
- The Chronicles of Narnia
- No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency
I'm sure there are many more and I'll add them as I think of them. I think it's also patently obvious that I love middle grade reader books - series or otherwise.
I'd love to know what some of your favorite series are?
