Series continuations I can't wait for:

Dead Reckoning (Sookie Stackhouse, Book 11) by Charlaine Harris
May 2011

I have thoroughly enjoyed getting inside Sookie's mind, just as she does everyone else! She is a fun and witty character and I can't wait to see where her adventures take her next.


The Kane Chronicles, The, Book Two: Throne of Fire by Rick Riordan
May 2011

Riordan broke onto the scene with his Greek mythology series about Percy Jackson. In the Kane Chronicles we follow a brother and sister team, and the focus is on Egyptian mythology. Other than Anubis and Ra I was unfamiliar with any Egyptian mythology. I think Riordan is doing great thing with both his series' by introducing young readers to mythology they would learn a bit about in school but in a fun and exciting way.


Smokin' Seventeen: A Stephanie Plum Novel by Janet Evanovich
June 2011

Stephanie Plum makes me laugh out loud. I cannot read these books in public or I'll get strange looks. Her antics, her love triangle, her cars blowing up!! If you have not found this series you should try it out. It is not crucial to start with number one but things will make more sense if you do!


Heroes of Olympus, The, Book Two: The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan
October 2011

I enjoy escaping into YA fiction at times. It's much simpler and easier to delve right into. The Percy Jackson series was quick paced and fun, and I learned a lot about Greek mythology, stuff I didn't learn in the classroom. Riordan continues this story, in part. The main characters are new but Percy and Annabelle and a few other of the cast from the original series are right in there. I can't wait to see if the two camps come together or if the start an all out war!


What series do you read? Are there any new installments coming out that you are looking forward to? I always love to find new authors and stories, feel free to share some of your favorites.
