Are you into cozy mysteries? Joanne Fluke, Janet Evanovich and Laura Levin are some good cozy mystery series authors.

Autumn is a post apocalyptic series with zombies. It’s by David Moody and I like the way he portrayed the zombies.

Otherwise one of my favorite series is the Mortal Instrument Series and they have a couple different spin of series you can read with it too.

Abhishek

The dark tower series by Stephen King.

Alicia

Fern Mivhaels Sisterhood

Katherine

Rizilli isles series by tess gerritsen

Rochelle

The All Souls trilogy – Deborah Harkness

Kristy

Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon- each book is pretty big, but worth it IMO

Jeremy Robinson is ending his Chess Team series forever soon. Super Delta vs Monsters.

Brett Battles has a 7 book series he called Project Eden that had the sneakiest book hang over of any I’ve read this year. As in, while you’re reading it you’re entertained but not necessarily having your mind blown… and then it takes a week for your brain to finish processing everything you’ve just read. But you *will* want to read all 7 books straight through. 😀 The general plot: the titular Project Eden intends to kill 99% of humanity so that they can rebuild humanity in their own image. One man survives one of their final tests before unleashing their plan… and makes them regret it. 🙂
