Friday Fives - Five Series I've Started and Would Like to Continue


I'm in a list making kind of mood so I thought I'd start making random five lists.  Sometimes they'll be bookish other weeks not so much.   I'm a big series reader - sometimes a bit too much of a series reader because I start way more series than I can realistically hope to finish!  Here are 5 I've started and are top of my list to get back to - once I finish off the 10 that I'm currently working through of course.


1.  Dim Sum of All Fears by Vivien Chien - I read and loved the first book in this Noodle Shop cozy mystery series and every review I've read for the more recent books sounds fantastic. 


2.  The Curse of the Pharaohs by Elizabeth Peters - I've read and adored pretty much everything Barbara Michaels has written but I've sadly neglected her books written under the Elizabeth Peters name - especially those in the Amelia Peabody series.  I read the first one several years ago and need to continue with the super long running series.


3.  The Masked City by Genevieve Cogman - I enjoyed the first book in this series even though it was very much a different genre for me.  I've read a bit more in the fantasy/urban fantasy genre in the last couple of years and I should pick this one up soon.  


4. All Dressed Up and No Place to Haunt by Rose Pressey - I read the first book in this cozy mystery series about a haunted vintage clothing shop and need to get back to it.  I love books involving ghosts and books involving vintage clothes so it seems like a series I should put a bit more effort into.


5.  This Fallen Prey by Kelley Armstrong - I've read the first two books in the Rockton/Casey Daniels series and really enjoyed them but there are so many in the series AND she has a spinoff series.  I really need to focus and get these books read!  

There are so many more series I need to catch up on but this is a start.  What series do you need to focus on?

  2. I love Armstrong's Rockton series! (And the follow-up Haven's Rock series, too.) And I started the Vivian Chen series and thoroughly enjoyed the first two books; I've just never gotten back to it. :D
