2. Chief Inspector Armand Gamache by Louise Penny - I read the first Armand Gamache earlier this year and really enjoyed it. I've heard the series gets even better as it goes along and I'm excited to see how the characters develop.
3. Ruth Galloway by Elly Griffiths - I love a little history mixed in with my mystery and Griffiths does just that in her Ruth Galloway series. I read the first one last year and really liked it.
4. The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer - I read Cinder and Scarlet last year and loved them but haven't picked up Cress yet. I'm really excited to spend more time with the characters and see how everything works out.
6. Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan - I listened to the first book and really loved it. It was fun to see how Riordan wove mythology into the modern world and I loved the team of characters.
7. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams - I've read the first book in the series several times but never advanced beyond that. I love Adams' sense of humor and way of looking at the world.
8. Mrs. Pollifax by Dorothy Gilman - This isn't a series I'm really behind on but more one I want to revisit. Years ago when there weren't so many cozy mystery options I read a number of the Mrs. Pollifax books but I was limited to what was in my library. I'd really love to go back and read them all in order.
9. Mary Russell by Laurie R. King - I've really enjoyed this series about Mary Russell and her husband, an elderly Sherlock Holmes. I'm working on catching up but I'm still several books behind.
10. Lord Peter Wimsey by Dorothy L. Sayers - I've read and reread all of Agatha Christie's books more than I can count and quite a number of Ngaio Marsh and Patricia Wentworth but I've sadly neglected Sayers. I read the first Wimsey book a year or two ago but I'd really like to continue the series.
Any series that you've started, loved and then neglected?
The Armand Gamache books are a series I've thought about too, the setting appeals to me. Haven't started them yet though... and I should really give the Hitchhiker's Guide books another go too, I just might not have been in the mood when I tried the first time. I do like quirky humor and SF w/ humor at times so seems like I would like them. :)
ReplyDeleteReminds me I want to get on to Cress too and read through that series to the end.
ReplyDeletelol, great minds - I did a Top Ten list today too. I like this topic, I'll probably do one like this as well.
ReplyDeleteI read one Mrs Pollifax and loved it, but then never got back to it. Ruth Galloway - never heard of that one, but it sounds very interesting.
OMGosh, I've added a few to my TBR for this year. A few I have already. I loved Percy Jackson as you've heard over and over again.
ReplyDeleteI've not read in any of those but I really want to try the Lunar Chronicles :D
ReplyDeleteA few of these sound familiar, and you've passed on lots of new ones to check out Katherine. Happy 4th! Hugs...and time for Jeopardy!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great list, which I really enjoyed:). Yes - I highly recommend the Lord Peter Whimsey books - I think they blow dear old Miss Marple and Poirot out of the water... I also want to read Lockwood and Co, too - my granddaughter is busy recommending them - and like you, I've read the first two Lunar Chronicles books and have yet to read Cress. Thank you for sharing, Katherine.
ReplyDeleteI also want to read the rest of the Hitchhiker's books. I didn't know there were others until a couple of years ago. I want to start a Stroud series, but I think I am going to go with the Bartemeus books. I hope you are having a good week. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to the rest of the Lunar Chronicles. Winter was an amazing final book!
ReplyDeleteI really want to read the Louise Penny series. I hope it is as good as everyone says it is.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great topic choice! I want to continue Deborah Crombie's series, too. And start Louise Penny's series. And yes, you should totally keep going with the Lunar Chronicles, Percy Jackson, Mrs. Pollifax, Mary Russell, and Lord Peter Wimsey.
ReplyDeletethere are so many on this list that I still need to start!! Too little time... :) My TTT
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I hope you love Cress!! And I need to get back to the Percy Jackson series too!
