I recently saw another blogger using a dedicated page just for keeping track of all the series of novels she has read, wants to read, owns some of but not all, and so on. Series have been a life-long struggle for me--love to read them, can't keep track of what I already own and what I still need; end up buying three copies of the same book--especially since I keep discovering "new" ones that I want to read 20 years after the first novel debuted, and therefore have a terrible time getting to read them in order. THUS, I am establishing this series page in the hope that it will be of some service to others as well as myself. I will strive to my utmost to make sure that the reading order for each series posted here is accurate (please correct me if you have more reliable information), and during the parts of the page where I'm simply keeping track of what I already own, feel free to chat amongst yourselves.
Series are arranged alphabetically by author's surname, then in the order in which they should be read (at least, in my humble opinion or to the best of my knowledge). For my own information, titles in blue I have already read, and underlined titles are those which I already own. "Starred" titles, i.e. *, were personal favorites.
