Top Ten Tuesday ~ Book Series

"Top Ten Tuesday" is an original feature/weekly meme created on the blog "The Broke and the Bookish". It was created because they are particularly fond of lists. It is now hosted by Jana from That Artsy Reader Girl.

Since I am just as fond of them as they are, I jump at the chance to share my lists with them! Have a look at their page, there are lots of other bloggers who share their lists here.

This week's topic is Book Series

I have read a lot of series, tetralogies, trilogies (see links), or at least the first one(s) of them. So, it wasn't all that easy to find only ten but I managed in the end. I liked all these book series and have read most of them completely. I have always put the picture of the first one of the series here but listed all the books I read in that series.

    1. Hmmm, Love Season, Rosie? Do you mean the Olive Season? That is really nice, not novels, the real life of an actress who retires to an olive farm.
      Thanks for leaving your link.
