Friday Fives - Five Series I'm Hoping 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 love series and always have a bunch going at a time.  Unfortunately, sometimes that means I discover a series I really enjoy and then it gets lost in all the others.  Here are 5 I want to focus on next.


1.  The Wayward Children by Seanan McGuire - The first book in this series kind of blew my mind and I'm really looking forward to reading the rest of this series.


2.  When in Rome by Sarah Adams - This is a four book series with each book focusing on a sibling.  I'm so excited to read the rest of the books - and there are only four so I can potentially get through it fairly quickly.


3.  Her Majesty the Queen Investigates by S.J. Bennett - I've read the last two books in the series and thoroughly enjoyed them.  I'm excited to go back and read the earlier books.


4.  Peter Shandy by Charlotte MacLeod - The first book in this series was so entertaining and a good mystery.  I'm looking forward to seeing how the character develops - and MacLeod's mysteries never disappoint.


5.  Vera Stanhope by Ann Cleeves - I've heard good things about this series for years and thoroughly enjoyed the first book.  I'm looking forward to reading more of Vera and then starting the show.

Do you have any series that you are looking forward to reading but get lost in the piles of books?

  1. I have enjoyed all the Vera books, not the tv series though. The character Joe is great but I didn't like the portrayal in the tv series. Glad you mentioned When in Rome as i like a series and this one focuses on a different sister. Did you read Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors? That's a four sister story as well.

  2. I'm a big fan of the Vera series too and have read them all. I have read a couple of books by Sarah Adams and will keep that sibling series in mind. I love series reading!

  3. I have enjoyed the MacLeod book and the Ann Cleeves. I read all the MacLeod books and had some difficulty finding them all in print at the time before I was reading ebooks. I read this Cleeves book and want to read the rest. I have watched the whole Vera tv series.

  6. Hope you enjoy them. The S. J. Bennett books appeal to me. The late Queen as a super secret sleuth. My mind boggles!
