There's so little time for reading that I can't dedicate that much to a series, but it wouldn't feel right if I only read some OF a series...<BR/>SimonStuckInABookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017836017530130716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040657217275018769.post-37014494413653604152008-06-06T08:18:00.000-05:002008-06-06T08:18:00.000-05:00I love a 'cast of characters' and also a map in bo...I love a 'cast of characters' and also a map in books.<BR/><BR/>Some series books I love are:<BR/>Mrs Pollifax - Dorothy Gilman<BR/>Amelia Peabody - Elizabeth Peters<BR/>Rabbi Small - Harry Kemelman<BR/>Maisie Dobbs - Jacqueline Winspear<BR/>Mary Russell - Laurie R.
