The best series of books i ever have read....

Hey Guys,

So some series of books can suck, I mean sometimes you read a book and think one book is enough but with other books that are just total page-turners and you just need more. more. more.

Which is why I thought I'd share with you guys some of my favourite series of books in the hope you will discover a whole other world...

1. Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan

This series honestly makes me so happy, I have mentioned the Lightning Thief- which is the first book- in the "Five Books I swear by" post (http://ladyoftherivers.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/the-five-books-i-swear-by.html) and every single book in this 5 book series is at good as that.  I freaking love them. The story is so believable ,to me anyway, which means I will happily read them again and again to enter once again Percy Jackson's world.


2. The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare

This is the less known series of books by Cassandra Clare, which I prefer to the original Mortal Instruments. These are set in Victorian England which is amazing because the love in the characters takes ages to form because they are all so polite. Even though it is set in a historical era is most defiantly not historical fiction. Although she added a little love triangle in the books they are written so well that the love triangle makes the book rather than take away from the books- which is what I feel happened with the Mortal Instruments-.



3. Narnia series by C.S. Lewis

These are the books my childhood is based off and questionably the best series ever written. Although i am a bit biased, I mean my middle name is Lucy after all... But i love these series because they just deliver an amazing world so perfectly. literally even reading the Magicians Nephew creates this expanse of land Aslan needs to fill- and that's not even his best book.

The best book in the whole series is of course The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I could write a whole blogpost about this book. What it means to me. How great it is. How much i love it.

But i wont... I will use the power of constraint and just say read the books. You will not be wasting your time.


4. Laura Ingles wilder books by Laura Ingles Wilder

These also are the foundation of many a childhood memory, creating games, trips and conversations because these books are also incredible. Written by a true American traveller in the 18th/19th century ( I haven't read them in a while so i can't remember the exact date) but they are so good. If you want to know what living life rough and with nature. Read these books, where getting class for a building they MADE by themselves was a massive deal.


Now I know i have left Harry Potter out but I think the world wide fan base and the billion dollar market sprung up around it shows its success.

Love,
