I saw this post on Portobello Book Blog and thought I might join in too, when I can anyway so maybe not every week but we will see.

Now, this week’s topic was books you’ve enjoyed outside your comfort zone. Since I read most things and those that I don’t are because they have things about them that are triggering for my mental health, I decided to skip this week’s topic and instead go rogue and go back a few weeks and combine two that I missed, books I’d love to reread & satisfying book series

This is a huge list, but I’ve recently been moving books around for one reason or another, and last week’s Spell the month in books post, nostalgia had me browsing the shelves, I think I can pick ten easily enough.

I’d love to reread Anne Rice’s The Vampire Chronicles which is 13 books starting with Interview with a Vampire and also includes  including The MayfairWitches series (3 books) as well as several other series, 23 books in total.

Another series is The Matilda Saga by Jackie French (9 books), I absolutely love this series. I bought book 5, The Ghost by the Billabong years ago not realising it was part of a series as I wasn’t mentioned in the blurb of the book itself, after reading it I had to go back and read the first four, which then had me waiting patiently for the final four to be published.

The Confessions series by Ella Frank, well actually the first 4 books. These are actually ones I reread every couple of years because I loved them so much, I guess you could say they are one of my comfort reads.

Tomorrow series by John Marsden is another great series I’d love to revisit one day, consisting of 7 books, I ploughed through this series and then insisted my mum and sister read them too. The Ellie series (3 books), spins off from this, but I’ve only read book one, so if I go back and reread Tomorrow, I’ll finish the Ellie series then.

The entire Rift War Cycle by Raymond E Feist which includes which includes The Serpentwar Saga and  The Empire Trilogy cowritten with Jany Wurtz and as well as a couple of other series and consists all up of 32 books, is another series I’d love to revisit, but that would take me at least 12 months to read the whole thing, so far I’ve only read up to book 13, but it’s been many many years so I’d need to reread those 13 books too, so we will see.

The Otherland series by Tad Williams which consists of 4 very thick novels is one I’d love to reread. This was such a different fantasy, speculative fiction series when I read it back in the 90s that it’s stayed with me.

The Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs (15 primary books) and the spin off series Alpha and Omega (7 books), I really enjoyed these, I am missing a couple of the newer books but if I get the chance to revisit then I’ll rectify that.

I think I’ve chosen enough huge series, I’ll pick a smaller one. The Wild Ones series by Rachel Ember is 5 main books and I’d get through them far quicker than the fantasy series.

I actually read this series just recently, Monk and Robot by Becky Chambers which is just 2 books, but after listening to the audiobooks, I bought them both because I knew it would be one of want to revisit.

I’ll finish it off with The Diviners Game series (3 books) and it’s spinoff series Shattered Pawns (4 books) by Jennifer Cody, I love the world she created and the way she wrote this series was something different and needs to to take a leap of faith that it’ll all come together.

After compiling this list, I realised how many fantasy series I own that I’d love to revisit, most consist of many books. Maybe if I can keep my book buying ban in place for a while, I’ll get to read some of the 100s (more like 1000s) unread on my shelves along with rereading the 100s (again, more like 1000s) I’ve kept because I want to reread them or loved them too much to part with them.

Have you read any of these series, or do you have your own you’d love to reread? Let me know in the comments. If you wrote a post for this topic, let me know in the comments, I’d love to take a look.

Next week’s topic is modern books you think will be classics in the future. This will be an interesting one to ponder.

Until next time, happy reading.
