Many of the books I read are parts of a series - usually, but not always, mystery series.
I'd like to try to complete some of the series - some I have no intention of revisiting.
And then there are those series I haven't started, but would like to.
This blog is a way for me to keep a record of the books I've read and the ones I might like to try.
And anyway, I've always loved making lists.

    Thank you for this list of 'Mrs. Mallory Mysteries.' I'm enjoying them, and trying to read them in order.

    Thanks you for all your lists - it matters so much to read the books of a series in order of publication.
    Book sellers hardly ever indicate the protocol.

    Just discovered Hazel Holt this summer and love her books. Isn't it amazing that she wrote her first novel when she was in her 60s?

    Your list was a great help. Thank you.

    Would you please do a list of Louise Penny's mysteries? I hope you've read and enjoyed them.

      Hi, Susan! Thanks for dropping by my series blog. Sorry about the late reply - I don't look at this blog nearly as often as I should. Glad the list was helpful.

      Yes, I've always been amazed by Hazel Holt's late-blooming writing career (gives us all hope, doesn't it?) - and I love her Mrs. Malory books. Do you read Barbara Pym? You know, Holt was Barbara's "protege" at the African Institute for several years, and her writing reminds me a little of Pym's, even though BP didn't write mystery novels.

      I would love to do a list of Louise Penny's books, but I haven't read any of them yet. I've got one downloaded onto my Kindle, though - and hope to read it very soon. So do check back in sometime!

      Hazel Holt wrote a biography of Barbara Pym, too.
      Louise Penny's books are wonderful; I hope you get around to reading them.
