Favourite Series: page 2 | Books to Read | Recently Read | More Words | Home

When I set out to start reading a new series I am often confused when confronted with 20 books in the series and no clear indication about which one comes first. So here, I'm writing down a list of my second favourite books, (not the ones that dramatically changed my outlook on life or anything like that just the ones that I really really liked and highly recommend. I prefer reading books in the order that they were written, instead of the chronological order in the series, so that's the order I've given here. (I like discovering things about the world in the same order the author does.)
