AKA: I adore these book series. I've also been meaning to check out some of Linda Joy Singleton's series, though I havn't got around to it.Hailey Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486522408104055394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144844961496270733.post-77241693800103256492009-11-12T14:13:23.869-05:002009-11-12T14:13:23.869-05:00LOL.

Of course, the love & hate varies depending on how many books are out when you hear about them <br />(“OMG! I found an awesome completed series!” <br />*Squeals like a rabid fangirl*) <br />or <br />(“I loved that book, the cover said it was book one in a series, I wonder when the next one comes out and how many more will be in the series!” <br />*Googles it* <br />“…………………”<br />*screams in anguish and throws computer out window*)Hailey Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486522408104055394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144844961496270733.post-51778330659538576202009-09-13T17:55:40.509-04:002009-09-13T17:55:40.509-04:00Aimee - His Dark Materials is already on my to-rea...Aimee - His Dark Materials is already on my to-read list! Glad you love them.<br /><br />Stephanie - I thought I was the only one who thought that about LotR!<br /><br />Lenore - Harry Potter is a must. Even if just to see what the fuss is about. But it's so worthy of all the fuss!<br /><br />And it's so funny how many people remember SVH fondly. I was drooling over the TV show too! (Although the twins who played J & E previously played whorish twins in The Basketball Diaries movie, which was surreal.) Babysitters Club just bored me to tears!Donna Gambalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00317767593205769881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144844961496270733.post-74141803915999755372009-09-09T16:30:36.483-04:002009-09-09T16:30:36.483-04:00I, of course, have to mention Tamora Pierce's ...I, of course, have to mention Tamora Pierce's series <i>Song of the Lioness</i> and <i>The Immortals</i> which I read in early middle school, and were the books that made me go from "I like to write" to "I want to be a writer."<br /><br />Donna, it's actually kind of funny you posted this, as I spent my summer trying to catch up on the all the series I started and never finished--even if I really like a book, I had a terrible habit of not starting the next one (perhaps out of fear it won't be as good?)Sara Kankowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13811608770353664993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144844961496270733.post-50353495208237659372009-09-09T14:23:32.459-04:002009-09-09T14:23:32.459-04:00I need to actually finish more series - LOL!

Awesommme....I always felt I ha...Sweet Valley High! Awesommme....I always felt I had the brains of Elizabeth but the heart of Jessica - bahaha. And what about that TV series?! Memories.<br /><br />Chronicles of Narnia is so phat - they're one of the few series that I read over and over again, almost every year, and they've never lost the magic I felt when first reading them as a little girl who dreamt of flying ponies and wicked witches.<br /><br /><br />I enjoy Harry Potter for what it is - but i still think Rowling borrowed her best bits from Enid Blyton! Can't beat Enid Blyton.<br /><br />I would suggest perhaps for a darker magical read thats steeped in symbolism and just general AMAZINGNESS is the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman. My heart feels funny whenever i think about those books...<br /><br />-Aimee<br /><br />www.myflutteringheart.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144844961496270733.post-56126868815925088262009-09-09T03:14:53.291-04:002009-09-09T03:14:53.291-04:00I definitely support chaining authors to their com...I definitely support chaining authors to their computers in order to convince them to work faster. I also agree about LOTR-I will stick to the movies.

And Libba Bray's Gemma Doyle series was awesome too.<br /><br />But my all time favorite series has to be the Stephen King Gunslinger series.
