I love that feeling of stepping back into a world I already know.<br /><br />I'm planning on starting the Rose series soon and Tif and I will be doing a group read of the Wicked books in the fall. I'm hoping that helps me get past Son of a Witch which I also had trouble with.<br /><br />And hopefully nobody else makes one of these posts or my list will grow too!Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-28116337758259250922013-01-31T18:17:29.374-08:002013-01-31T18:17:29.374-08:00You're lucky!

People who read series books are my kind of people.<br /><br />I really enjoyed Donnelly's Rose series - they were just romance-y enough without feeling skeezy, if you know what I mean.<br /><br />I've ready Wicked and loved it, and then was really disappointed in Son of a Witch, so pretty much abandoned that one.<br /><br />Amelia Peabody did not work for me - it took me forever to get through the first one. <br /><br />You have a LOT on here that I want to start reading!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10939074543470696025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-43372389289697420272013-01-25T17:18:24.469-08:002013-01-25T17:18:24.469-08:00you really really weren't kidding about "...you really really weren't kidding about "a few." <br /><br />before i got to the super long list i thought to myself that this would be a good idea to do on my own blog - but damn, i don't have nearly as many to keep track of!

I was reading them at a good clip, and then got side-tracked and haven't read one in awhile. Amelia is definitely an old friend!<br /><br />I've heard great things about Maisie Dobbs, and hope to start on that series this year.JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-47405745743288153022013-01-13T19:44:34.684-08:002013-01-13T19:44:34.684-08:00It's actually pretty helpful.

And luckily a few of these are trilogies and finished series so once I catch up, they can go off the list. Although I like saving books to have one left, I also like things being a bit neater than this. :)Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-51979861475395706012013-01-13T19:35:41.744-08:002013-01-13T19:35:41.744-08:00Wow!

I don't think it counts if you don't intend to read any more of the series. I'm definitely moving some of those first books (and final ones) up in my reading queue too so that I can clear up this list a bit!Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-29371202460728646262013-01-12T17:39:29.073-08:002013-01-12T17:39:29.073-08:00Wow … you aren't kidding!

In addition I'm reading the Ellie Quin series, Old Man's War series (which I guess is continuing giving the new episodes that are coming out), The Gamache series by Louise Penny, Sanderson's Stormlight Archive, the Star Trek Vanguard series, Cherie Priest's Clockwork Century. That's what I can think of off the top of the head. Carl V.

Also, sometimes I read one book in a series and don't want to read the rest of the series, so does that REALLY count as being in the middle of a series?<br /><br />I didn't know that LibraryThing had that function - how cool!Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.com
