WEEK #381
(One Question.)
Ashfa asks: What is the biggest book series you have read??
(I keep thinking and having to add to this list.) I can think of these long series that I have completed or am still reading:
Destroyermen Series by Taylor Anderson. I love this alternate universe series has 14 books from 2008 with the 15th coming out in 2020. I have book 14 in my Audible library which I plan on listening to soon.
The Andy Carpenter Series by David Rosenfelt. I really like this series about an wealthy attorney who loves and rescues dogs. Starting in 2002 this is up to 20. I have read 1 through 10 and am reading #19 soon.
Womens Murder Club Series by James Patterson: 19 books from 2001 to book 20 due in 2020. I listened to many of them and am on hold at book 11.
The Pendergast Series by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Childs. This is a dark FBI detective series starting in 1995 and will reach book 19 in 2020. I have through book 13 in my library but think I haven't listened since book 10. My husband was more dedicated to this. I have been thinking about relistening. The narrator Rene Auberjonois is awesome.
The Eve Dallas Series by J. D. Robb (aka Nora Roberts) - 50 books released from 1995 to upcoming 2020. I have listened through book #16.
Completed Series:
Sookie Stackhouse, (The Southern Vampire Series) by Charlaine Harris. This fun series had 13 books (2009 to 2013) plus an afterbook and a few short stories. I listened to most of them through #13 but have not listened to the afterbook nor short stories.
Charley Davidson Series by Darynda Jones. This is another fun series with 13 books from 2011 to 2019. There are additional short stories I haven't read.

At the end of each month I draw from the suggestions I used during the month and that person will get a 1/2 book choice or $2.50 towards GC. I thank everyone for submitting questions. Thanks for sending in questions! The supply of questions is dwindling so share some if you think of any -- even if they are duplicates I'll weed through or try to modify.
Your turn to share. Ashfa asks: What is the biggest book series you have read??

Congrats, Life's Simple Pleasure!
ReplyDeleteI prefer standalones and rarely read series with more than 3-5 books in them. I find it tiresome to keep up with the characters and events.
Thanks Natalija!
DeleteI don't know. I probably read more stand alones than series.
