I have a special fondness for book series. That can be a number of books that cover a common story arc or theme, or the same main characters feature in several books. Either way, we get to see story and relationships play out over a longer period of time.

A few book series that randomly come to mind:

The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings

The Harry Potter books

Outlander

The Wallander books

Recently I’ve read 2 other book series. One was a revisit, because I read those books many years ago. The other I came across recently and randomly, so actually started reading in the middle of the series. Because I didn’t know the books formed a chronology with the same characters.

The Chronicles of Narnia

by C.S. Lewis

For many people the first book, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is synonymous with The Chronicles of Narnia. So they stop after reading one book. But there are a total of 7 books in the series.
