This series has been my all-time favorite for years.  I own all the books in paper format, and have re-read them so many times.  Now that I have a Kindle, I'm accumulating the entire series on Kindle. (As my eyes age, I find the adjustable font and the light make it so much easier to read, and also the Kindle is lighter and easier to hold.)  Amelia Peabody, the main character in this series, is a Victorian lady who is ahead of her time in her sense of independence, daring to do things that most women were intimidated by.  In this first book, Amelia discovers Egypt for the first time, becomes enamored of Egyptology, and meets the irascible but admirable man who will become her husband and partner in archaeological research.  The stage is set for the development of the story line across the rest of the series.  To me, the most enjoyable characteristic of these books is that Amelia, although a very determined woman, has an excellent sense of humor.

This is my favorite series! I'm re-reading it after decades and it's still awesome! Love the characters--especially Moe! Don't miss it!

This is my third time reading Kismet's life.  It never gets old.  I re-read this series about every third year.  It helps that I have a bad memory so there's always something I either didn't pick up or had forgotten about.  This series, Anita Blake, Rachel Morgan and Dante Valentine are a few of my faves and are re-read time and again.

I've never been disappointed with the Redwall series. I've been reading them since I was little, and I grew up watching the Tv show as well. Some books are a little slower feeling than others, others are faster, but they all have great adventures and lovable characters. I love the series. I got Rogue Crew and a few others to complete my collection, which has been read so many times I have some of them memorized. They're just wonderful stories, filled with beautiful descriptions and interesting characters. As a writer myself, I truly appreciate all that goes into these books, making them so wonderful to get lost in.

I don't know that I've ever read another fantasy series with such a satisfactory ending.  Well. . . .except that I was wishing that the series wouldn't end, because I want to just keep reading about the characters!  This is my new all-time favorite series.  It's appropriate for readers of all ages, the writing is excellently done, the characters, the plot, everything about the books screams brilliance.  I'm so glad I just happened across it!  I highly recommend you pick this series up, starting with Siren's Secret.

This is a series of books I bought when I was much younger, quite a few years ago. The cover art got my attention, and the story most definitely kept it. I've reread them over and over again and they're just as good today as they were when I bought them, without the feeling I get from other series of rereading childrens' books. The Abhorsen trilogy is still one of my favorite series where the women at the core of the story are treated as actual women, that may have insecurities or troubles, but aren't of the come rescue me type. The story of bells binding the dead was a welcome addition to a fantasy genre that usually focuses on dragons, elves, and wizards, and I cannot wait to get the next Abhorsen book.

The Tales of the Continuing Time series is very possibly my favorite series in all of science fiction. As the third book in the series The Last Dancer doesn't let you down. The pacing is good, the relationships are interesting and complex as are the characters. It stands alone pretty well though I recommend reading Emerald Eyes and The Long Run first just because they are wonderful and it builds detail and context. I own multiple copies of this so I can loan them out and still have one around. This is one of the books that I come back to again and again.
As a martial artist, I love the concept of the Dancers, as a computer geek I love the technical world DKM has created.
One thing that always frustrated me was that there were no further stories after this one, and now that has changed - The Big Boost has been published and is the next book in the series.

IT has been a long time since I have adored a series. The menage is sexy, satisfying, and stirring.  Every character draws you in and you feel invested in their lives. Dev coming into his power has given him an edge and Bris is just an added bonus. I am enjoying the many facets of their world and the problems they create for th  three. Going right out to buy the hard copies for my keeper shelf.

I first read these books about 15 years ago.  I have read them at least once a year ever since.  I have read them from the perspective of every character in the books, and have always discovered things that  "weren't there the last time I read them". My newest pleasure was  reading them aloud to my partner every night until we finished them (took  seven months). And so another Tolkien fan was born.  I have six different  sets and am always looking for the next set.  These books will stay with me  throughout my entire life.  The enjoyment I derive from them is  boundless!

I found this series about 5 years ago and have read it a few times over just waiting for the next one . I no longer care if they are in order since I have read them all but I enjoy everyone every time.

I'm reading this series for the third time, and I cannot express with words how connected to this story and characters I've become. I read this story when i was around 16 years old the first time, 20 the second time, and again at age 26. Each time I read, I feel as if i gain a new perspective and a new connection to the characters. I highly recommend reading this series!

My absolute favorite series!  I've re-read this series multiple times.  The beginning is slow, but it definitely picks up.

The entire Arcane Society series is worth revisiting over and over.  They feel like old friends.

Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar series provides one of the cornerstones of my reading history. After discovering her when quite young, I still follow new additions to the series - nearly twenty years later! I read and re-read these books over and over again throughout my youth, but I haven't re-read this series in its entirety in a long time - and never as an adult. There are some new books added to the series since the last time I read them, so this re-reading project is pretty exciting for me since it will include these new volumes, and will be in a new order. These books really just remind me of being young, reading them in the back seat of the car on family road trips... I think I was in 4th or 5th grade when I first started reading them, and they've always been a pleasure to re-read - and I am sure this will continue to be the case! The Valdemar series is broken up into (for the most part) separate trilogies. In my re-reading project, I am going to try to read them chronologically - not by publication date, but by their timeline within the series.

I have reached The Last Herald-Mage trilogy in my re-reading project, which is one of the strongest trilogies within the entire Valdemar canon. Every time I read these books, each one brings me to tears. But in a good way, really - I mean, yes, they are a bit overly sentimental, but the characters all really come to life. And it is one of the trilogies that really stands out in my memory due to the many, many, many times I have read them before. And even now, they remain very exciting and very fun to re-read. This series, as the binding begins to crumble with age, and the pages wrinkle with tear-stains, - reminds me of those favorite VHS tapes that eventually just wears out with repeated viewings. It's just a classic to me - even if it is more of a romance novel set in Lackey's Valdemar than anything else. I love the characters here - Aunt Savil in particular is a very favorite of mine! I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series,&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Magic-s-Promise-The-Last-Herald-Mage-Series-Book-2/dp/0886774012/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Magic's Promise (The Last Herald-Mage Series, Book 2)</a>.

I love this series of books.  While I know that it's probably not the greatest series ever written, I fell in love with the characters and the world that was created in them.  I first read them 10 years ago and I wasn't certain that they'd still be good now.  However, the characters, the struggles, the magic, and the love are all still as real and important to me as they were before.  And, I feel that I understand the intricacies of the relationships better now than I did before.  Anyone who believes in magic and wishes they had another world to visit should go to Homana and visit with the Cheysuli.  Shansu!!

This is my favorite series that I've read in years. I absolutely love the characters and the details that the author has put into everyone of them.
