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 Top Ten Tuesday topic is Ten Favorite Books from Ten Series. This was harder than I imagined because by definition a series evolves over time, each book expanding the story and your involvement with the characters. Sadly, as well, some of these series have now reached their conclusion. Links from each title will take you to my review or the book description on Goodreads.
- The American Agent (Maisie Dobbs #15) by Jacqueline Winspear – Maisie and Mark Scott, yes!
- The English Führer (Tom Wilde #7) by Rory Clements – in which Lydia, Tom’s wife, plays a vital role
- The Heretic’s Mark (The Jackdaw Mysteries #4) by S. W. Perry – in which the action moves from 16th century London to Padua
- The Great Darkness (Nighthawk #1) by Jim Kelly – the book that first introduced visually impaired Cambridge policeman, Detective Inspector Eden Brooke
- Storm of Steel (The Bernicia Chronicles #6) by Matthew Harffy – hero of the series, Beobrand, sets out to rescue a kidnapped girl
- Wolf at the Door (A Bradecote & Catchpoll Investigation #9) by Sarah Hawkswood – the vicious death of a man at the teeth of a wild animal does not add up
- Gaudy Night (Lord Peter Wimsey #12) by Dorothy L. Sayers – the one where Lord Peter finally gets the girl
- Mr Standfast (Richard Hannay #3) by John Buchan – the one that always leaves me tearful at the end
- Betrayal (The Englishman #2) by David Gilman – someone’s trying to start a war and former Foreign Legion fighter, Dan Raglan’s just walked into the kill zone
- The Magpie Tree (Cornish Mysteries #2) by Katherine Stansfield – Jamaica Inn, 1844: the talk is of witches
