Lots of Reading
So this is kind of pointless, but I’m a little bored right now and have nothing much else to write about. I realized today that many of the books I’ve read in my lifetime have been part of a series. Most of the time, the books I read have a sequel or many more. Just for the fun of it, I’ve compiled all of my favorite series into a list(no particular order):
- Harry Potter--7 books
- His Dark Materials— I’ve re-read these books a few times. I do not recommend seeing the movie The Golden Compass, which is based upon the first book in the series, it was quite horrible—3 books
- Lord of the Rings—Including The Hobbit and the Silmarillion—5 books
- Sally Lockhart Quartet—4 books
- Anne of Green Gables—I own the first 4, however there are a lot more.
- Fern Capel series— 3 books
- Series of Unfortunate Events—My brother Steven talked me into reading these books a few years ago and they are surprisingly entertaining—13 books
- Twilight— 4 books
- The Giver series—A required read in 8th grade, but still a good series— 3 books
- The Chronicles of Narnia— 7 books
- Pillars of The Earth—I read Pillars of the Earth this summer and have yet to read the sequel, which I think I’m going to do asap before winter break is over. The first book is long (973pages) but It is a really good read and I recommend it.
These total up to 54 books. What I didn’t include are the many series in which I’m not sure how many or exactly which books I’ve read (since I read them quite a while ago). I was a huge fan of American Girl, which had series upon series of books based upon different characters. I would pick a character, read the series of books, then move onto a different one. In grade school I also was a fan of the Dear America diaries. I can’t remember exactly which ones I’ve read but, I know I went through a phase where I read at least one a week for a few months. I also was a fan of Goosebumps and I used to have a small collection of those books.
That’s pretty much all that I can think of off the top of my head. I’m sure that I’ve probably read more, I just don’t remember.
