OOh nice ones! The first Harry Potter is definitely magical! I tend to gravitate to the first book of a series a lot! Although I did really enjoy the third book of HP too! Kelley has sooo many series, sometimes it's even hard for me to choose just a favorite series of hers let alone 1 book from 1 series. Lol. I still need to get caught up on her releases from this year, not to mention a ton from the past few years!

Great picks!


Here's my Tuesday Post

Have a GREAT day!

Old Follower :)

Welcome back! Your travels sound super fun.

Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.

Lydia

I only read Harry Potter from your list. Sucks the author turns out to be super problematic.

I’m glad you enjoyed your trip. Glad to see you back. You’ve introduced me to some great titles. Thank you. Hope you have a wonderful day and happy reading.

The only one I've read is Harry Potter, but I bet I'd like all the middle-grade series.

That Myrtle Hardcastle series looks so cute!! I am adding that to my list!

I haven't read more in the series, but I did enjoy My Lady Jane. Never did read the Harry Potter books when everyone else was, but I love how much so many readers enjoy those. :)

I should have gone with favorite series this week, too. But I got stuck trying to figure out a favorite book from each, and then just gave up in mental exhaustion. ;D I really love Rowling's Harry Potter series, too. And Armstrong's Rockton series is another favorite of mine.

Woot woot! :D I love seeing Harry Potter and My Lady Jane on your list.

I hope you feel better soon. I have feeling nauseated.

Fab list! I love the Jane Harper books and a good friend of mine loves that Kelley Armstrong series!

I forgot about the Bloody Jack series. I read the first book long ago and purchased all the books in the series for my library. A few kids were faithfully making their way through them, thought I suspect the target market was more middle grade students.

What did you do in Seattle? I live about an hour south of the city and often go up there for sporting events or theater shows. Last week we went to a Chris Stapleton concert.

Harry potter is one of my confort series. I hope to read Veronica Speedwell this autumn

I have a Kelley Armstrong book on my list this week also, but it's from a different series. Her thrillers are too scary for me these days.

I've been wanting to try the Jane/Mary books forever, they sound like so much fun!

I did like A Curious Beginning but then I never continued on with the series.

Dang I forgot about Jane Harper, and Kathy Reichs.

I hope you had as much fun on your Alaskan cruise as I did in May. I'm close to talking my husband into going on one with me in 2026.

Welcome back!! Other than not feeling great from the plane, it sounds like a great trip! I would love to see Alaska, but I don't think I will ever make it there. I almost went the same route as you, but I made myself dig deep and do the post as written, LOL! I feel like I have been so lazy with it lately.

Harry Potter is one of my favorite series, i crawl back into them once in awhile. I had order of the phoenix listed as my favorite.

Very jealous of your Alaska cruise!

Great list, Susan! I love all the Harry Potter books. It was hard to pick just one. I hope you're having a great week! Happy Tuesday!

A great looking list! I did the same as you. Just picking series. I just did the last ten that I had read.

I love Harry Potter and everything that goes with it 😂

I hope that you recover soon. I have never come home to heat after a holiday although the last time I went away was over 6 years ago so maybe these days I would 🙄

Oh I forgot about the Aaron Falk series maybe because it was interrupted by a random mystery! I wish she had done the Falk series consecutively. I loved how it wrapped up for him! ~Carol @ ReadingLadies

I hope you loved your Alaska cruise! Such a beautiful place. These are all great! I love so many of these books, and need to start the Rockton series in the coming year.

What lovely places to visit. My Alaskan cruise was one of my favorite vacations. I read and enjoyed the first two Lady Jane books. I see that they were adapted. Have you watched at all?

The Myrtle Hardcastle books are brilliant! Such a nice blend of mystery, action, and historical vibes.

I haven't heard of many of your series but some sound great. Would you believe yours is the first post mentioning Harry Potter?

Thanks for visiting my post.

I totally understand the struggle with picking a favorite of a series, so I like that you just chose favorite series. :)

I love the Deanna Raybourn and the Myrtle Hardcastle books look fun. Fun list!

I'm glad to hear that all of your travels were fun! Sounds like you went to some awesome places. 🙂
Love you list. Harry Potter will always be one of my most favorite series ever. And I absolutely adored Bones. Watched that series in real life and recently just binge-watched it with my daughter. SO good!

My Lady Jane is so much fun!

Great list, as usual. Your travels sound awesome, even if you had to return home to an oven. I'm a huge fan of the Tempe Brennan and Veronica Speedwell series - I don't hear too many people talking about the Tempe Brennan series, which is a shame, because it's a really good one!
