Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's theme is Satisfying Book Series (Maybe all the books were amazing or there wasn’t any second book syndrome or the final book wrapped everything up soooo perfectly.)
My list today will feature some of the more recent entries in a book series that I have read.
The Calico Cat at the Chibineko Kitchen by Yuta Takahashi - Like a lot of Japanese books this was a cute and satisfying read! This is the second book in the series. I reviewed the first book, The Chibineko Kitchen, here.
A Winter Wedding Adventure by Leonie Mack - This is the second book in Leonie Mack's series which features adventure guides and weddings. (my review)
Everyone in My Family has Killed Someone by Benjamin Stevenson - I only realised recently that Benjamin is an Australian author. This book, the first in the Ernest Cunningham mystery series, was a lot of fun!
The Convenience Store by the Sea by Sonoko Machida - I might be cheating a little bit with this one. There are currently four books in the series but this is the only one that has been translated into English....so far. I really hope we get to see more books in the series. (my review)
Waves of Change in Pelican Crossing by Maggie Christensen - This is the third series that I have read by Maggie Christensen. I love her books. They are the ultimate comfort reads for me. (my review)
The Deadly Dispute by Amanda Hampson - i have read all three books that are out so far over the last few months. The next book in the series has just been announced and I will be reading it! (my review)
Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett - This is the first book in the Emily Wilde series. (my review)
Dallergut Dream Department Store by Miye Lee - This is the first book in the Dallergut Dream Department Store series which is by Korean author Miye Lee. (my review)
Beartown by Fredrik Backman - This is another first book in a trilogy and was a 5/5 read for me! (my review)
The Bookstore Family by Alice Hoffman - This is the fourth in a series of connected short stories. I still haven't read nay full length books by Alice Hoffman yet but I will because she really nails the short story format so I will be interested to see how she handles a longer story.
What are some of your favourite series?
I quite fancy trying The Emily Wilde book.

I enjoyed the first Emily Wilde book. But, as is usual for me, I did not read on.
ReplyDeleteI really ought to read Bear Town sometime.
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing Backman on a list!! I totally forgot though, lol. Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone sounds good!
ReplyDeleteI love that the Stevenson books, while technically a series, can be read as standalones. And I've enjoyed the three I've read and can't wait for the newest one.

I haven't read any of these. A lot of people have featured Backman today, though. I have read one of his.
ReplyDeleteBeartown was good--I need to read the 3rd book. I dnf-ed only because I didn't like the audio performer.
ReplyDeleteThe Emily Wilde series sounds interesting. Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteA few more for the wishlist.
ReplyDeleteFawcett's book made more than one list this week, Marg. Backman's book is in my TBR pile. Thanks for sharing.
