Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl.
The rules are simple:
- Each Tuesday, Jana assigns a new topic. Create your own Top Ten list that fits that topic – putting your unique spin on it if you want.
- Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own Top Ten Tuesday post.
- Add your name to the Linky widget on that day’s post so that everyone can check out other bloggers’ lists.
- Or if you don’t have a blog, just post your answers as a comment.
This week’s topic is Series I’d Like to Start/Catch up on/Finish. My list includes ones where I’ve read several but not all of the books in a series. The majority are historical crime series. As you’ll see I have a habit of discovering series part way through. The books I’ve read are shown in bold, with links to my review if I reviewed them on my blog.

Are you a ‘completer/finisher’ when it comes to series? Is it worth going back to the beginning of a series if you’ve read later books?
