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.

Jerry West: The Happy Hollisters

• Main characters: The Hollister family, consisting of five children (Pete, Pamela, Ricky, Holly, and Sue), and their parents (John and Elaine)
• Setting: The city of Shoreham (as far as I know, no state is ever mentioned)
• Bold type indicates a book I've read.

The Happy Hollisters is a series of books for children, published by the Stratemeyer Syndicate (also the publisher of the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys series), between 1953 and 1969. The series was written by Andrew E. Svenson, using the pseudonym Jerry West, and was illustrated by Helen S. Hamilton.
