Should You Read a Book Series? YES… Dive in!

We like to think that reading a book series is sort of like taking a long vacation. Every book is a great place to visit, and with the next book, you’ll land in a wonderful new destination. You can choose the nature of a series, too, from mystery to science fiction. There are many opinions about reading a series… should you start with the first book, start with the last one and read them in reverse order, or mix it up. But whatever method you choose, reading a series can be an enjoyable voyage as you anticipate what will happen next.  (Think of Twilight, The Hunger Games and Harry Potter!)

Here are two very popular series that readers love, both of which have recently added new releases to their collections. We think you might love them, too!

The Dresden Files 

Harry Dresden is a private investigator… and a professional wizard. Author Jim Butcher has created this series of contemporary fantasy/mystery novels, written in a first-person narrative from the perspective of Harry, who works out of a Chicago storefront using otherworldly magic to solve his cases.
