This week's theme is about series you'd like to start, catch up on, or finish. I tweaked it just a little bit. Here's my list of Favorite Series I'm Currently Reading and Enjoying:
The K-9 Mysteries:
 |
Alex Kava's Ryder Creed Series
Margaret Mizushima's Timber Creek K-9 Series
Paula Munier's Mercy & Elvis Series
My favorite Urban Fantasy Series:
The thriller/action series I love:
 |
Gregg Hurwitz's Orphan X series.
Nicholas Petrie's Peter Ash Series
Paul Doiron's Mike Bowditch Series
The female sheriff/detective series I'm really enjoying:
 |
Linda Castillo's Kate Burkholder Series
Melinda Leigh's Bree Taggert Series
Lisa Regan's Josie Quinn Series
And the Historical Fiction/Mysteries I still read and love:
 |
Anna Lee Huber's Lady Darby Series
Victoria Thompson's Gaslight Mysteries
C.S. Harris's Sebastian St. Cyr Series
And I know I'm over ten series with this post, but I have to say, it was hard winnowing it down to these thirteen. Because apparently I read a lot of series. I didn't even mention Ragnar Jonasson, or Sara Driscoll, or Nalini Singh, or Annabel Chase, or Fred Vargas, or John Connolly, or Kristen Painter, or any of the other romance series I love, etc. Because there are a lot of really good series out there. Which makes it impossible to choose just ten. What are your favorite series?
Happy Reading!
Some fantastic series there! And I few I will look into but shouldn't... *cough*
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean! Starting a series always ends up adding multiple books to an already too-long TBR list. ;D
DeleteThis topic didn't talk to me at all and since I'm busy with Non-Fiction November, I gave this week a miss. But it's interesting to see what you are about to read.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize I read as many series as I do! ;D
DeleteI can imagine.
DeleteSo very interesting. Regine

Hi, Regine! :D
DeleteI agree, there are a ton of great series! It is hard to highlight just ten.
ReplyDeleteYou are in the middle of a lot of series. How do you keep track of everything. I limit myself to only a couple at a time.
I don't keep track very well. I'm always forgetting about one series or another, and then falling way behind in them. ;D
DeleteMy friend loves that Melinda Leigh series, too. I hope you keep enjoying it and the rest of these.
ReplyDeleteLeigh's Bree Taggert series is so fun! I've read other books by her that were also really good. :D
DeleteI definitely had more than 10 to choose from! lol One day I definitely want to start the Mercy Thompson series. I'm trying to get caught up on the Psy-Changeling series first... which will be a while!
ReplyDeleteI need to get caught up in that series, too! :D
DeleteSo many great series! Mercy Thompson has been on my want-to-read list forever. Hopefully I'll get around to it sometime because it sounds awesome. :)
ReplyDeleteI love that series! Mercy is such a great character. :D
DeleteI love the Mercy Thompson series! It's probably the only one I read as soon as a new book comes out. I also really liked CS Harris, so I've been wanting to try Huber's series. I love a good historical mystery - right now I'm enjoying Karen Odden and Stacie Murphy.
ReplyDeleteI read that one as soon as a new book comes out, too. And I love Sebastian St. Cyr. He's a favorite character. D:
DeleteI love the Mercy Thompson series! It is one of my favorites. Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a good series, isn't it? Thanks for commenting on my blog! :D
DeleteBoy howdy, was it ever hard to narrow my list down to ten! With Kava, Munier, Mizushima, Doiron, and Castillo on your list, I certainly can tell that we share some reading DNA! :-)
ReplyDeleteWe really do! :D
DeleteThere are several on your list that I want to read as well. When will I ever find the time? (She sighs dramatically.)
ReplyDeleteThat's always my problem! (and why I sometimes hesitate to start a new series)
DeleteI need to continue with the CS Harris series - I've still only read the first book.
ReplyDeleteYou need to at least read the one with Hero Jarvis in it; she's such a great character. You'd like her. I think she shows up first in Where Serpents Sleep. :D
DeleteGirl, I feel this so much! I tweaked the topic a tiny bit this week and I had a bunch ready to go and realized it would be 20 series! Decided to just stop when I got 10 in the blog post, LOL! I also love series, but I enjoy standalones as well...maybe I just love books, LOL!
ReplyDelete:D Yes...I think we both just love books. Any books All books. All the time.
DeleteHi Lark,
ReplyDeleteI must continue with Linda Castillo's wonderful Kate Burkholder series. I saw the movie, read the first book, and loved both but I keep stalling on beginning the second book in the series Praying for Silence. Must read it by end of this year!
For me, this series just gets better. I've got her latest checked out now and can't wait to read it. :D
DeleteI've got Huber's other series on tap to start soon. Those covers just draw me in.
ReplyDeleteThey are great covers. I haven't started that series yet. But I do like the way Huber writes. :D
DeleteWhat a nice twist. I want to check out the The K-9 Mysteries
ReplyDeleteThey're all really good!
DeleteI like how you grouped your favorite series by genre. I've read a couple books in the Castillo series, until it got too gruesome for me. I do really like the Huber series. I'm way behind in it, though. I almost put it on my list today, but it was on the last list I did with this theme and sadly, I've made NO progress in it since then. Oops!
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
You'll notice I didn't put any of the series that I'm way far behind on in this post! But there are many. ;D
DeleteYay for Mercy Thompson! Absolutely one of my very favorite urban fantasy series. Have you read the Anna & Charles books too? I just love that whole world. My other favorite urban fantasy series is October Daye -- highly reocmmended, if you haven't read any of it yet!
ReplyDeleteI've heard a lot of good things about the October Daye series. It does look like a lot of fun. :D
DeleteI think all of these are new to me, so thanks for sharing them! Happy reading in November!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :D
DeleteI haven't read any of these. I have a bunch of series I like too. I love a long series.
ReplyDeleteI love a long series, too, as long as I don't start falling behind in it. Then I start to wish it was just a book or two shorter. ;D
DeleteI have the Gaslight Mysteries on my wishlist and, of course, love Mercy Thompson & Alpha & Omega. I will check out some of the others :)
ReplyDeleteI've really loved reading Thompson's Gaslight mysteries. And Patricia Briggs's books are so great!
DeleteOh yes, Mercy Thompson for sure! Alpha & Omega. Love The Drifter series (need to catch up) and Orphan X, too! Kate Daniels, The Others, Virgin River. So many more!
ReplyDeleteI want to start the Virgin River series, but I hesitate a little when I already have so many series to keep track of and stay caught up with.
DeleteMost of these are new to me but they all sound really good. I have read one book in Linda Castillo's Kate Burkholder Series and would like to read more at some point.
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot to choose from in that series, and they're all good!
DeleteThat's a great variety of series books you've here, Lark! I remember reading the first two books of Mercy Thompson Series a long time back but haven't catch up with the rest as the time goes. Too many books, too little time! ;)
ReplyDeleteI know how that goes! :D
DeleteI see a lot of series that I love (or want to read) in this post. Alex Kava is a favorite but I don't see anyone talking about her books very often. Patricia Briggs is phenomenal.
ReplyDeleteI love Patricia Briggs' books! And Alex Kava is great, too, especially her Ryder Creed books with the dogs. :D
DeleteSo many good series! I watched a movie of the first Kate Burkholder series the other day and got so into it, I realised I need to re-visit it and now this and i think the universe is telling me something :)
ReplyDeleteI loved that movie they did of her first book. It's what drew me to her series in the first place. And I've been reading them ever since. :D
