What's your guys' favorite book series? Whether in general or in recent times?

A month ago I was finally able to pick up the entire Wings of Fire series. Yeah I know it's not aimed at adults, but I'm a total dragon dork and I'm very invested in the story so far. Just started Book 4: The Dark Secret. I haven't always read consistently throughout my life, but since quarantine and being settled in a new house, it's nice to just get a beer, sit in a camping chair on the back porch and open a book. I don't do the Kindle thing, I look at enough screens as it is. Reading is my chance to get away from torturing my retinas.

I love the Andrew Yancy series by Carl Hiaasen they are so intricately plotted (though it’s more than just the Andrew Yancy novels because pretty much all of Hiassen’s fiction takes place in the same universe so I guess it’s all a series really).

Heads or tails?

The Earth's Children books, and the Redwall books.

My reigning favorite is The Legend of Drizzt by R.A. Salvatore; I'm a fantasy addict, and these books hit all the right notes for me. There's a related series that comes in close second (and might as well be part of the actual series, honestly, it just features a different set of characters), The Cleric Quintet; the main character, Cadderly, is just super relatable for me, plus there are dragons, and who can say no to dragons? (Also his wife is a BAMF and a monk and I love her.) Ohhh, Redwall, that's a top pick for me, as well! I read SO many of them when I was in middle school, it was a fight between me and some of my friends as to who would manage to get the next book from the library first. I picked up the first book secondhand a while back to reread and see if they were as good now as I remembered them being, and they totally are, so now I want to try to find the rest of them for my collection.

Redwall was the first book of the series I ever read. I'd borrowed it from the library and was hooked! I now own almost all of the novels. ^_^

I'm a Discworld fanatic, hands down. But I also more recently got into the Forgotten Realms books (having been playing the games for about 20 years) and always enjoyed the Harry Potter series too. My favourite graphic novel series is Bone by Jeff Smith.

Apparently I like fantasy stories a little bit?

You should check out the Gideon the Ninth series by Tamsyn Muir! It is so incredibly well written and everything about the world, characters, and plot is so intriguing. It's a sci-fi/fantasy with well-placed humor in it and extremely lovable/hateable characters. I couldn't possibly recommend it more

The Guardians of Ga’Hoole! I absolutely loved that series! The Poppy books are also pretty good, and anything that Rick Riordan writes is gold.

Another fan of Terry Pratchett's Diskworld series here. The Xanth novels by Piers Anthony are a lot of fun too.

The Expanse series by James A. A. Corey has got to hands down be my favourite book series. I used to be quite the avid reader throughout school but haven't as much as an adult (curse your distractions, internet) but I picked up the series after watching the show and blew through it.

Dragonriders of Pern by Anne McCaffery will also have a special place with me as I've read many of the books numerous times! I don't read nearly as much fantasy anymore than I used too but that series I'll go back to over and over.

I can't pick just one series! A few of my favorites include The Death Gate Cycle, the Kate Daniels series, and Anne of Green Gables series. Also, The Dragonriders of Pern, but I have a special fondness for the Harper Hall Trilogy, as those were the first Pern books I ever read!
