What’s a series you LOVE that most people haven’t heard of?
The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau is mine.
The Razorland Series
Thank you for mentioning this one! I read the first one a long time ago when it came out and never went back to read the rest of them. I will definitely have to get my hands on the rest soon. I was sucked in quickly with the first one.
I have never met anyone else that had read them. It’s one of my favorites!!
Last Chance by Hope Ramsay
The aurora teagarden series by Charlaine Harris
The same author as the True Blood series?
No! That is with the supernatural stuff. This is about a small town librarian who loves real murders and crimes.
Yes I read them years ago. I meant the authors name..sounds the same
Sorry! Yes it’s the same author 🙂
thought so! Thanks!
Jalna by Mazo de la Roch
The Imogen Grey series by Katerina Diamond
Rizzoli and Isles by Tess Gerritsen
The Peachville High Demons series by Sarra Cannon. It was a kindle freebie i come across and gave it a chance. I’ve enjoyed the series and the rest of her writing ever since.
The Cemetery of the Forgotten Books- Carlos Ruiz Zafon. An wonderful tetralogy about books, love, mystery and fantasy. ?
It’s a gorgeous series
I read Shadow of the Wind this year. I loved it. My favorite fiction read so far this year. I did not know it was part of a series, so you just made my day!
Dr. Siri Paiboun mystery series set in Laos .
Hey…that was what I was going to say!?
@Janie, you are the source!
Whiskey Creek by Brenda Novak. She’s a local writer near me. Great books
Kushiel’s Legacy by Jacqueline Carey
It has the Game of Thrones feel with a lot more “adult” stuff going on.
LOVE LOVE LOVE Kushiel’s!!
I feel like if you’re not into certain genres then you may not know of these… Charley Davidson by, Darynda Jones
Curse of the Gods by Jaymin Eve & Jane Washington
Immortal Guardians by Dianne Duvall
Seneca Falls mystery series by Miriam Grace Monfredo. The Liquor series by Poppy Z Brite. The Murder Squad series by Alex Grecian
The Lincoln Rhyme series by Jeffery Deaver
It’s a trilogy, but The Annals of the Western Shore by Ursula K. Le Guin.
Afterlife by Stephanie hudson
I just got book 1 on my kindle today. Looks quite good.
The Chronicles of St. Mary’s. Hysterically funny, tons of great info about historical events, time travel and romances. Great female protagonist, too. Also, The All Souls Trilogy. Much of the same elements as St. Mary’s, but in a completely different way, plus the supernatural is key to it.
I love St. Mary’s they’re so snarky ?
@Michelle right?!
I also love st. Mary’s!
Warriors by Erin Hunter
I don’t see many adults that know about it but I love the series very much.
A lot of my students read that.
His Fair Assassin by Robin LaFevers
I love this series!!!! I’ve read it several times!
@Jordan I’m so excited about the new book that’s coming out!!! This world is just an amazing one full of strong women!!
We still have until February of 2019!! Why so long!!!???
When a friend first recommended the series to me, and I asked what it was about, she said “Assassin Nuns”. I was instantly sold!
I passed it around my book club. 🙂
You’re so lucky! I wish I had a book club that I could attend and pass books around with.
Wonderful series. I didn’t know there was another one coming!! ?
@Jordan I started my own!!! We have a women’s fb group in the community and it is an off shoot of that! It’s fantastic!
Gretchen Kuechler I never thought about starting my own or doing a Facebook one. That is a great idea!
I hope your group continues to be successful!
Yeah ours meets in person once a month. We use our local library so we don’t usually have to buy the books either.
Saving money while also getting together to read?! That is what I call the perfect combination Haha
Hard Cash trilogy by Kate Cann
The Bringer Trilogy by J. R. Boles. Includes: Bringer of Light, Bringer of Lore, Bringer of Legend.

Karen Robards The Dr. Charlotte Stone Series…. Loved that series…
The Tairen Soul Series by C L Wilson! ❤️
Stephanie Barron’s Jane Austen series
Jacqueline Carey Kushiel’s Trilogy is a huge, huge favorite. ❤️
That’s an old best friend of mine’s favorite. I bought a beat up copy of the first one, and need to read it. It makes me think of her at least.
My best friend also got me hooked on the series! It was the first series I read as an adult ??
The Marked series by March McCarron
His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman or The Old Kingdom series by Garth Nix
LOVE both!
@Mishayla Me too, both in my top 10 for sure ?
@Tika I have very fond memories of The Old Kingdom Trilogy. My sister (who doesn’t read as much as I do) read them first in middle school, and then we ended up buddy reading them together. It’s great when you don’t read a lot with someone you are close to, but you still have that one good trilogy that you could really connect over.
I also love Shade’s Children by Mr. Nix. I’ve read that one three times. 🙂
@Mishayla have to read the prequel and sequel that he has since released? I didn’t enjoy them as much however it was so nice to get more time in The Old Kingdom! Sabriel is one of my very favourite books.
@Tika We were actually talking about reading those together too, but haven’t gotten around to it yet. Too busy with our adult lives. Someday though!
His Dark Materials trilogy is a great series. I love it! One of my all time favorites. In part it started my love for reading. I think it is loved by many.
@Christian I think because it was released around Harry Potter, it didn’t have quite to same impact as it would have had. I adore it and always recommend it ?
I agree. Me too. Have you read The Book of Dust? I read it a while ago. I really liked it. Can’t for the next.
@Christian yes I really enjoyed it. Malcolm is a likeable protagonist. Can’t wait for Volume 2, twenty year old Lyra ?
The Hollows series by Kim Harrison – love them!!
The Darkest Mind series by Alexandra Bracken
Circle series by ted dekkar
The World of Watches, by Sergei Lukyanenko. Amazing Urban Fantasy series. Shapeshifters, vampires, magic. Alternate dimensions. Good vs Evil. It has everything.
Barker and Llewelyn series by Will Thomas
And, I think I was the source on this one!
@Judy Probably so! British! ?Good to have good book buddies!
Julia Spencer-Fleming mysteries. The titles are lines from hymns, not because the books are religious but because the main character is a female Episcopalian priest who was a helicopter pilot in the Army-must be read in order-great mysteries.
The Slaughter Creek series by Rite Herron
The Medoran Chronicles!
Exoskeleton by Shane Stadler. There are two of them so far, currently waiting for the third to be released.
The Guild Hunter Series by Nalini Singh
The Hollows/Rachel Morgan Series by Kim Harrison (my first big urban fantasy love… still haven’t read the 13th and very last book even though it has been sitting on my nightstand for the last 4 years… I just don’t want the series to end); The Chronicles of St. Mary’s by Jodi Taylor
Love the Chronicles of St Mary’s!
Kim Harrison is writing a new one!! She mentioned it on her Facebook page! I am ridiculously excited ?
@Lana What?! ? I had no idea (that’s what happens when you forget to check on your favourite authors for too long). You just made my day. ?
@Natascha Yay happy to hear it 😀

I LOVE THESE ?
The Belgariad and Mallorean series by David Eddings. There are follow-up books called Belgarath and Polgara. I’ve read these many times and had my father’s ashes made into a blue orb similar to the powerful orb in the series. He introduced my sister and I to the series and was a favorite for all of us. 🙂
the bone season
Repairman Jack
Zamonia series by Walter Moers
Forgotten Realms. I hang out with some series nerds, some even play D&D, and I’ve had to introduce each one to the book series. I don’t even play. When hubby and I were still just dating, he tries to introduce me to it when we discussed favorite books, and it’s part of how I knew he was a keeper.
R.A. Salvatore is amazing.
Doctor Foster
Rule of 3 trilogy is amazing.
Some of these might be known by some, but To Die series & New Orleans series by Lisa Jackson. Northwest series by Lisa Jackson. The Chandler Brothers by Carly Phillips. New York Blades by Deirdre Martin. The Accidentals by Dakota Cassidy.

@Tika did you try the sequels? by the goodread reviews they don’t seem to be as good
@Isabel ah yes I wasn’t that keen plus a total mind transplant for a character right at the end had me like ??
Tika MacPhee mind transplant? pls don’t tell me that they turned Dannyl straight… ? anyway, not thinking into reading it then, don’t want to spoil the good feeling left from the original trilogy
