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.

    Thanks for the Raymond Chandler list of the Phillip Marlowe series - that's what I was looking for as someone told me to read him. I like mystery series too....have read quite a few authors on your list - I don't see Martha Grimes on your list...I like her Richard Jury series....You've given me lots of new authors to explore. Thanks!

    What were your favourites?
    I have read the The Big Sleep and I fell in love with Chandler's writing.
    Trying to choose the next one.

    Thanks!
