Are you into reading series books... if so what has been the best series books you have read?? Was it a long series, is it still going?? Or where there only a few books in the series??

I am currently reading about 7 series all together. I have to say right now my favorite series is by Alex Morgan, The Paladins.... I recently became seriously addicted to them.

I also read...
Christine Feehan, The Dark Series... I love my carpathians.
Sherrilyn Kenyon, The Dark Hunter series..... an amazing series!
Jacquelyn Frank, The Nightwalker series, although it is done, I am still hoping to get more of her books through her new shadowdwellers series.


there are so many great series out there, to many to mention here in just one post... so what series are you into and what is your favorite??

I'm not really into fictional books, I'm more into personal development and DIY books. So far, my favorite are John Maxwell's books about personal development, success, and leadership. Though his books are not really in series, most of them are interconnected to each other and tackles the same thing. The first John Maxwell book that I have read was entitled "Failing Forward". It talks about how turning failures into stepping stones to success and how one should view failures positively and constructively. I really liked the book that I started to buy a series of John Maxwell books and read them. So far, I have about 7 books in my collection and I still continue to have some. I'm planning to collect all of his books. Aside from John Maxwell, I also started to like Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad, Poor Dad". It's a book about how important financial literacy is. Since "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" is the first Robert Kiyosaki book that I have read, I think it's safe to presume that most of his books are all about money and how to make them and how to properly handle them. In the book, he stated the importance of investment and the big mistake that most people are making by purchasing liabilities rather than investing in assets. It's both an eye and mind opener and though I still have to finish the book, it really changed the way I look money now and my approach to it. I have seen a number of Robert Kiyosaki books at different bookstores and I think I'm gonna have a few of those (maybe all of it). Both Maxwell and Kiyosaki has very great and practical ideas that are not that hard to apply though it requires some change in mindset and lifestyle. They both speak from experience and it's clear that their ideas are legitimate and helpful. I just love such kind of books and I don't get tired reading them.

Ok, that sounds really cool!! I havent read any money books.. but I really should try to fit one in and see how it would change me as well... of course I need to make money in order to learn what to do with it to help myself/family in the long run.. lol being a full time mom, I dont exactly get a paycheck anymore... but I would love to learn some new things to do with money to make it stretch longer for us.

thanks for the response and have a great day! happy mylotting and happy reading!

Hi there. Trust me, such books are really so enlightening. I really haven't thought that I'd be so hooked to it. I'm reading such books about 2 or 3 times just to really get the whole idea of it.

Besides Harry Potter, I like the Study series by Maria V. Snyder. There's only three books in that series. Poison Study, Magic Study, and Fire Study. Now I am reading a series that is a spin of from that series. It's the glass series. So far only one book is out. I don't think it is as good as the study series though. That word sounds weird to me now... Series. Eh, I said it to many times.

My favorite is the Sharpe series, written by Bernard Cornwell. They're historical novels, over twenty of them, all taking place at the end of the 18th century and beginning of the 19th century, during the Napoleonic wars of Europe. The hero of all the books is Richard Sharpte, who was forcibly recruited into the British army as a young man. The series follows his career all the way through his retirement, shows how he managed to survive appalling conditions during wartime, his struggles to improve his status in life, including eventually becoming a respected officer. The action takes place all over Europe and in India, and the books are very accurate about the history, the weapons and battles, and what life was like for soldiers. Very exciting stories, with a brilliant hero.

Another one I forgot when I listed mine. 4th behind Pratchett, Kerr, and McCaffrey.

I finished reading The Dark Tower by Stephen King a couple of months ago. I remember I couldn't put the book down until I fell asleep. I am used to his style of writing that I find it hard to read any book from other author unless the storyline is really really good and interesting.

It was about 7 books all with different time and places, he is too clever to pull off such wonderful storyline, that I couldn't even guess what would happened next like other story books. It has all feeling and emotion combined together perfectly and clever.

But I have to confess that I don't really like the ending though where the hero have to start all over again meaning start over from the beginning, the end was the beginning, the beginning was the end, that sort of thing. I give it 8 star out of 10! thumbup

I think my favorite series so far is Isaac Asimov's Foundation Megaseries. I consider all the books in this list to belong to the same series http://en.wikipedia.org/w...
I've only read the 15 that are numbered and 3 of the other, but I am still amazed by the Universe Asimov creates in this series.

I have also read and enjoyed Sir Arthur C. Clarke's Rama series.
Now I'm in the process of reading Tolkien's Lord of The Rings series (of which I have the books and will read them) and Terry Pratchett's Discword series (of which I only have part of the books, due to the fact that they haven't yet been translated in Romanian, and the English version is not available in libraries. I have them all as audio-books, but it will take me a while to listen to all the 11 Gigabytes).

Hi Bookreadermom, you could call it either a series or a trilogy but one of favourites would be the 'North and South' books by John Jakes set in the American Civil war, they were a really good read and covered many aspects of the age. I learnt quite a lot of odd historical facts from them which I had previously been unaware of and some of the characters were particularly well drawn, with the evil Bent standing out the most for me.

'North and South',awesome!
There is no reason to suspect that N&S is one of most wonderful books.
Actually,first i was attractived by its movis,and could not help seeking for book.
Well,like most of people who once read this book,i was sweet on it.

Hello there,

I am a huge huge fan of Janet Evanovich and Charlotte Hughes. The Stephanie Plum series is great. It is an awesome drama comedy series. I also enjoy the author Christiane Heagan. Very good thrillers. At some point I would like to read The Lord Of The Rings Series, I have seen all the movies and own them I jsut have not gotten around to the books yet.

Although I have read a lot of books, I have not read very many series. I have read the Chronicles of Narnia.I did work on the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys mysteries when i was a teenager. I also have read one Beverly Lewis short series about the Amish lifestyle.I don't think I have any one "favorite."


ttssmith (14)  3 years ago

I love the Chronicles of Narnia. Have you seen the movies? The older ones bought out by the BBC were good. They seem a bit outdated now but I still enjoy them. The two new ones are better. I enjoyed Prince Caspian the best


myLot reputation of 97/100. macdingolinger (4924)   ranked 26 out of 9,001 in reading  3 years ago

i heard the BBC movies were great, but I never saw them. I have however seen the two newer ones and enjoyed both a great deal!!
