Sometimes I want standalone stories, but sometimes it's really fun to get fully immersed in a series and just keep reading and exploring the world.

If you haven't read any good series lately, maybe a favorite you revisit?

I am not a huge of fan of book series, I prefer stand alone. The only ones I ever recall loving are The Giver trilogy and The Uglies series (I only read three of those).

Funny I really like series but for some reason my brain refuses to even entertain the idea that The Giver isn't a standalone story.

I love the first three books in The Giver series (and hated the fourth). I rage-quitted The Uglies series because a character I liked died.

The Winternight trilogy.

I've been reading the Shadow Children series by Margaret Peterson Haddix. It's a children's series, but still enjoyable as an adult. I've got three books left in the series and I am just waiting eagerly for my library to get them for me!

Oh man! I loved those as a kid. I think I read them all but it was so long ago, I'm not sure.

I didn't read much as a kid, so I have a lot of fun discovering books I missed out on. I stumbled upon these on thread where people were talking about surprisingly dark kids books they loved, and decided to give them a try. They've been a lot of fun!

I was a voracious reader growing up. I read a lot less now unfortunately. :( If you like the dark style of those books, give Robert Cormier a try. The Chocolate War is his most famous. But my favorites are The Rag and Bone Shop, After The First Death, and tenderness.

Oh thank you! I will add them to my list!

Wake the Dragon series. I don't always like Anderson's writing, but i do really like this series.

Currently re-reading Lois McMaster Bujold's Penric and Desdemona novellas.

It's the 12th century and Adelia Aguilar, the most respected forensic pathologist on the continent, is summoned by English King Henry II to investigate a series of incidents that threaten his subjects. Back in more liberal Sicily Adelia is not alone in being a highly educated female doctor, but in England she would be accused of witchcraft so she has to do her investigations undercover.

The history is good, the science is good, and the characters are compelling. A thoroughly enjoyable series!

Those were really fun!

Oh, that sounds good! And thank you for providing such a compelling plot summary.

Kinda... fantasy apocalypse but hopeful for all that?

There's a medieval historian from Earth who gets dragged into the quasi-medieval Argh Monsters Are Eating Us problem and finds her training in analysis of social trends useful in interpreting what's happening and what will happen and also how much she likes chopping things with a sword.

There's a motorcycle-painting loafer who discovers that he's a wizard and that in a life of cheerfully not caring about things suddenly he cares about the study of magic very, very much and also he's catastrophically in love with a v. nice person and by very easy degrees will eventually find himself in a courtly love tangle that would make Lancelot proud.

If Obi-Wan Kenobi were allowed to get laid...

(not literally the last series I read but) the Steerswoman books by Rosemary Kirstein! Recommended as strongly as possible, they're so much fun and so amazing. What's really fantastic about it is that the main character approaches everything like a scientist, and it's incredibly well executed. It's so fun and satisfying watching her figure things out and try to *understand* everything that she comes across. Also has some really fun worldbuilding and *also* all of the characters are really cool and have very fun relationships to each other.

I really can't recommend this series too strongly - if the premise sounds even a little appealing to you, please check them out. Unfortunately the series isn't complete yet, but you can join the rest of us hoping and praying for her to keep working on the remaining books!

I just recently read the Silo series by Hugh Howey. It had a few issues, writing-style wise, but I enjoyed it. The books are Wool, Shift, and Dust.

There's also a tv series currently running (season 1), called Silo.

Not finished because I need book 13 lol, but Alex Rider because I am a mature adult and sometimes I just need to read about a 5'4 teen spy kicking terrorist ass.

The Shopaholic series is one I frequently revisit. It’s just very comforting.

Six of crows duology

The last few series I read were contemporary romance novels

Act Your Age, Eve Brown is the last in a series following the three Brown Sisters by Talia Hibberts (I like her other stuff too). I'm still reading it, but I think this one is my favorite story so far (although Take a Hint, Dani Brown was cute).

The other set/series I've been reading (and finally got to my favorite character in the last book is the series by Helen Hoang. I LOVE one of the characters in this series and he finally has his own book so I'm gonna start it soon (The Heart Principle). I started with the The Bride Test, I really loved the MC, and then O went back to read the first book in the series.

These are all contemporary romances where main characters (for the most part) are either Black or Asian and everybody's kinda dealing with something they need some help for and working through it and finding themselves and love etc. Good times! And the sex scenes are pretty good too, but of course you can skip/skim them if that's not your thing.
