I think you'll enjoy Nancy Drew - but I also think that you should find the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys super mysteries (where they work together - those are more like New Adult age but SO FUN).
Preach about all series being episodic! 😆Great way of featuring your favorite series and am loving the new format. I loved The Marlowe Murder Club. You might like the Susan Ryland series too. The first one is Magpie Murders. There is also a tv series from Britbox and PBS. I put my list in the Monthly Wrap Up thread in KTWC (wasn't sure where else to put it 😊)
Oh that is the Anthony Horowitz book, the reason I haven't tried it is I heard it was a book within a book and it's not my favorite thing. I will put it on my list and try it.
@@StormReads Yeah it is that. It's like two different mysteries. I do think the show made it easier because the book in the book was set in the past so the costumes and set made it clear which timeline it was. Well, that sounds a lot more confusing that it actually is! 😊
You read so many series! I don’t know that I could sustain my attention that long. I read the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich back in the day, but I think I stop around 15 or 16 because the books were all the same at that point.
I finished the Deadlands trilogy by Skye Melki-Wegner that you inspired me to read. Read Trapped and Survival in 2024. Really liked the dinosaur characters and the series as a whole. All three books were consistently good. No second book slump.
Thank you for sharing your series adventures! I, too, am reading many mystery and fantasy series. I'm not a fan of modern cozy mysteries, but do enjoy several that started in the 90s like Christine Bennett by Lee Harris and Callahan Garrity by Trocheck. Have you tried the Wrexford and Sloane series by Penrose? They're not quite as good as the early Stoker ones, but very similar. Your new format is great!!
I am really picky with some of the really new cozies, ones I call millennial cozies, I need to try some of the older ones, so will put the ones you mentioned in my rec book. 😃
Oh I love the Callahan Garrity series. I've only known one other person who read it. I did go and have a meal at the actual Euclid Avenue Yacht Club while I was reading the books - it was a good time.
I need to go through my hot mess of a SAS list and do some dnf-ing. Why am I using valuable time reading blah, ugh, meh, FOMO, not-for-me series? In 2024 the #1 series that disappointed me was Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove series. I liked the first few books well enough, but about halfway through I was reading them just to finish the series. Characters I didn't particularly like were featured, tropes and plot lines were not what I liked. I'm thinking that Debbie is a hit or big miss author for me. Thanks for the video!
So many series! Awesome job at keeping up with and keeping them all straight! Haha! Glad you found some you loved this year too! 💜
Wait till I do my year long wrap up for series, still working on it. 🤪 Life of a series reader lol.
Can’t wait!
I just added the Second Chance Cat series to the list of series I want to read, it sounds adorable!! :)
Hope you love it! 😃
That's a LOT of series! Oh my gosh, I don't know how you do it!! 📚
Lots of audiobooks. 🙂😉
Excellent presentation format, Stormi!
Thanks! 😊

Cool, I will put those on the list. 😃
What a great presentation! I also need to get back to The Gaslight Series😊❤
Thanks! 😊

I love mr lemoncello too! I’ve only read the first though!
I’m chuckling watching this! Your stance on series is correct. They must be read in order.
And agree- I don’t have a 10 year old but it’s a big no
It a fun series!
It just messes with my mind even if they are companion novels lol.

I can't binge read a lot which is why I have come to realize that I need a way to keep track of them. 😃

Shoot, I need to put that on my series list. Read the first one then forget, thanks for the reminder!
Fun video. 😊
Thanks! 😃
I love series. I've started about 10 new series in the past couple of months. I'm terrible.
It's so easy to start series. 😃
Did you ever read the Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer series? His parents are both lawyers and they watch the Perry Mason show together as a family.
I have read some, need to finish that series!
@@StormReads throw it on the list!

@cajunpeachreads That is cool!
Cajunpeach, the Throughly Southern Mysteries by Patricia Sprinkle and all the books by Anne George are more fun older cozies set in the south.
@@bjminton2698 I love both of those series! Have you read the Southern Cousins series by Peggy Webb or Sarah Booth Delaney by Caroline Haines?

You know, I will admit my favorites in Cedar Cove are the first few too. I still like it but no hurry to finish. I am on book 9.
I loved The Big Skeep and The Thin Man. Sam Spade was an 🍑 🕳 😂 My series are 99% urban fantasy.
I like Urban Fantasy but not read many.
