Romance Series Lists discussion

I have no idea if this group will do anything, but I was bored, and I read a lot of romance series.

I hate having to go digging through the net for a list of books that are part of a series so having a place to post lists seemed like a good idea. Who knows if it'll work ;-)

To anyone who joins and adds lists, thanks for the help!

Right now, I'm just trying to get at least 1 list added to each folder so all the existing folders are visible.

Dang we all hit the same bandwagon at the same time don't we

LOL, is this a hot-topic right now?

Isis what a smart idea! I'm always scouring the net for the right order of a series so when I saw this group I just had to join! Thanks for starting it :)

EastofOz - Your welcome!

And I know what you mean. I've spent way too much time searching for series info. I was looking for info this morning and driving myself nuts. So I figured, GR Group time ;)

This is an excellent idea! I, too, am always searching the Internet (or asking Auntee) for series order.

I hope more people will consider signing up as librarians, too. Can put the order series by the titles for GR's and type in the synopsis, character info, etc. I notice the page numbers are 9 times out of 10 WRONG. Go figure.

Kathrynn - yeah, I'm ALWAYS having to go searching. I pick up a lot of random books at book sales only to find they're connected to other books.

I've been doing my Librarian part :) Right now I'm still working through my category romance books, cuz they're by far the most neglected genre (Amazon's fault...they can't even get titles and authors right half the time).

You can put it in the regular folders since it's complete to that point.

I've been trying to remember to add a note like
**Active series

when I know that there are going to be future books in the series.

Hey, ISIS! I'm here.

Quick question: Why would you put Beverly Barton's Protectors series in 'Multiple Genre' rather than 'Romantic Suspense'? Just curious...

Colleen

Hey COLLEEN! Welcome to the group!

re: The Protectors - I put it there because a large part of the series was category romance (Sil-IM) and the newer ones are full-length romantic suspense (RS). They could probably be listed as RS, but I know there are some people who won't read any category romance books.

ISIS: You mean there are snobs among us?

It's impossible to read the later full-length books without the back story provided by the SIMs. Especially, Sweet Caroline's Keeper. David Wolfe is so much more enigmatic if you start with Egan Cassidy's Kid. And you definitely miss the best stuff if you don't read Sam Dundee's story, Guarding Jeannie.

I have a complete list, including the names of the heros and the ISBNs for each, but I'd like to post the entire list together in RS. Can I do that?

Colleen

COLLEEN: I've comes across some particularly nasty comments romance readers have made about category romance. Not here, but on other sites.

If you've got additions, or adjustments to the Protectors list you repost the list then I'll ditch the one I made. The ISBNs aren't really needed, but the other stuff is welcome. And I can get behind moving it to RS. Just include some note or something that lets people know that a lot of the books are category romance.

Isis just to let you know that there's a double post in the Historical Romance section for Sandra Hill's first Viking series. My entry is the first one (oldest date order) and Julie's is the last one.

Thanks for letting me know!

Is it okay if I delete yours? Julie's has comments, but yours doesn't.

Oops! Sorry about that. During our recent discussions about Sandra Hill's two Viking series, I was asked to post them here. I know you'd posted the Viking II series, East, but when I looked for the Viking I series I didn't see it. Guess I didn't look hard enough.;)

No promblem Julie :) Ya go ahead and delete mine Isis.

Okie dokie, it's deleted!

I'm glad I found this group. I'm a fan of series books. I'm Debbie. I have a long list of favorite series authors.

Hi Debbie, Welcome aboard!

We've got lots of series listed here and some discussions about them, but feel free to start more (check out this post for the best way to format a listing post).

Hey i'm Lizz and i'm 22 about to be 23. I foster puppies and I have two dogs of my own. I'm dyslectic but I love to read. If it wasn't for the english teachers I had in high school I won't be reading at all. I was reading on a 2nd grade level going into high school and left at a 9th grade level. I also have ADHA. You guys can ask me anything you what to know about what I went thourgh.

This is a great idea. I'm always going back and forth on Amazon and the net trying to find out which books are part of a series and what order they are in.

Hey guys! Im a 34 year old wife and mommy and a voracious reader! The only down side to my love of reading is finding my next new book! I was so glad to find this group because I LOVE series books, especially when the characters are connected. I dont know about yall, but I don't want to say goodbye at the end of a book. I want to know what happens next. Thanks for creating this group!

Hi everyone*hugs*

I love to read series,if that series is a keeper for me then will hunt down rest of the books for sure but the only thing that kills me is if i start it and next book is yet to release,just can't bear the waiting months*sob sob*

Thanks so much for creating this book cause searching the list of series on various site takes too much time plus sometimes there are difference in numbering of the order of the books or the total number of books:(

Hi Everyone :-),

I came across your group on author page Michelle Styles who I love and like everyone here I hate having to go online to find good series. I look forward to see what is on the group list of book.
