Do you own any complete book series?

[Elaine]

I'll start the ball rolling - I own the complete Cynster series - in fact I can now admit to owning the complete booklist of Stephanie Laurens.

[Victoria]

I'll admit it too! I own the complete booklist of Stephanie Laurens, Julie Garwood, Lisa Kleypas and Elizabeth Hoyt.

[Victoria]

Forgot about Judith McNaught :-)

[Elaine]

I am always interested in other people's reading matter. I've catalogued my books - I have all Jo Beverley, Victoria Alexander, Karen Hawkins, Sabrina Jeffries, Julia Quinn, Celeste Bradley, Sally MacKenzie, and some more I'm still trying to list. I've always wanted to be a librarian!

[Joyce]

I've been collecting Stephanie Laurens, Nora Roberts, Leigh Greenwood (Seven Brides, Cowboys) and Mary Balogh. I don't think I have a complete series of anything (missing one here and there) except I have a lot of the Nora Roberts trilogies.

Not tried Nora Roberts - which period is it.

[Shauni]

I admit it I am odd that way. If I like a book and it's a series I read the entire series.. And collect them..

Of course I have the entire Stephanie Laurens collection she defines regency romance!

I won't list all of the authors that I have the entire collections of but it includes, Nora Roberts, Julie Garwood, Christine Feehan, Sherrilyn Kenyon (including when she wrote as Kinley MacGregor and her books w/Dianna Love), Judith McNaught, Kathleen Woodiwiss and the list goes on..

Nora Roberts usually writes contemporary romances. She started off writing Harlequin monthlies. She generally writes trilogies now, in which three friends, cousins, siblings, etc. are each treated in one of the novels. More recently (in the last ten years or so) more and more of her trilogies have had a supernatural element (such as ghosts, or demons).

[Elaine]

Thanks for that Joyce. I'll look into Nora's books.

[Marilyn]

I have all of Stephanie Laurens series,Lynn Kirland,Christina Skyes Draycott series,Cassie Edwards Savage & Wild series,Nora Roberts,Sandra Hill,Johanna Lindsey,Lynsay Sands vampire series and many more......

[Wendy]

I do own a few complete series-es:

Darkness Chosen by Christina Dodd
D'Artagnan Romance Series by Alexandre Dumas
Harper Connelly Series by CHarlaine Harris
Sons of Desitny by Jean Johnson
The Fever Series by Karen Marie Moning
Brotherhood of the Blood by Kathryn Smith
The Study Tirlogy by Maria V Snyder

and those are just the series I am sure the authors have completed. I'm kinda obsessive when it come to keeping track and record of my books. lol.

My Bookshelf PowerPoint is 107 pages long and that's one of 4. Bookshelf, young adult & children, underage library and library. . . I think people like us might need counseling. :)

[Elaine]

Hi Ronatha, I'm obsessive about my books too. Do you catalogue yours - I do? I put my books in alphabetical order too. lol.
You've got quite a collection. I like to read certain series' of books every so often. I have untreated pine bookshelves, they look great - also have a Kindle but cannot, unfortunately, put them in different shelves.

I love the Mallory books. She's a brilliant writer.

I have a kindle too, the shelving on it drives me nuts! My books are ordered by author, series, number, - and logged into my computer. It took me a while but I've started loaning them out to friends.
I've been trying to convince people I do not need a space for clothing, just books. They currently are double parked on a bookshelf my father built or in boxes stacked around the floor.
Pinterest gave me the idea to convert my closet into a reading nook, but no one wants to work with me. lol.

[Joyce]

Nora Roberts writes contemporary romance. I like to read different time periods. I love Regency, but sometimes I am in the mood for the old west, or medieval, or contemporary, so I switch back and forth.

[Joyce]

For those of you who collect series of books, how do you store them? I have bookshelves in a room that I use as an office, but they are totally full. Now I am wondering if there is a better way...

You are not the only one who owns the whole series and the complete list of Stephine Laurens books.

[Sheila]

I have most of the books in series of all my favs. I have a serious book addiction. The Cynster series, the Mackenzie series, the Maiden Lane Series, those are just the most recent. I have most of Mary Balogh & Edith Layton just a book horder at heart.

That is why I have a Kindle. I ran out of shelf space. Now I have all my books at my fingertips.

[Victoria]

Joyce, Excel spreadsheets! OMG I thought it was just me. :P

Hi Marilyn, I love to read my fave series books too. I usually read The Bridgerton series, The Rogue series, and all Celeste Bradley, Karen Hawkins, Sabrina Jeffries, and too many others to mention. Keeps me busy, but then I get behind in reading new authors!

[Veronica]

I have Stephanie Laurens/ Cynsters and the Bastion Club novels.
Sherilyn Kenyon/ Dark Hunter novels.
Christine Feehan/ Carpathian novels.
All of Diana Palmer books
Johanna Lindsey/ Mallory series.
Almost all of Catherine Coulter's historical romances.
Lora Leigh/ Breed series

[Anita]

I have complete sets of several authors: Catherine Coulter, Janet Evanovich, Sandra Brown, Julie Garwood and several others. I collected the entire series of an author before I started reading them then started with their oldest book and read forward. Space. That became a real problem. I was gifted a Kindle with 8000 books, a lot I already owned. I use Calibre to organize. Since I rarely reread, I decided to purge everything that I didn't have as an e-book or couldn't get from the library e-book system.

Wow, 8000 books.....Heaven :o)

[Vehrell]

I have no physical books any more, don't have the space but i have books on my kindle, in the cloud and on CDs. i remember the very first romance i read, the vines in splendour by violet winspear and i have not looked back. im hooked on Stephanie Laurens, Susan Johnson, Linda Howard, Chritine Feehan, Rosemary Rogers but what ever happened to Rebecca Brandywine. i no longer see anything for her.

[Ishita]

Hi, I am new to goodreads. I will also admit that I have the complete Cynster series - Stephanie Laurens, and loads of others like Judith Mcnaught, Lisa Kleypas and so many more. I was and still am a huge fan of Georgette Heyer. And I re-read each book in my library at least 10 times... :P
Space is a problem, but somehow, I still prefer holding a book in my hand, rather than Kindle.

Hi Ishita, I have already run out of space. Taken 6 bags to charity shop already. I have lots on kindle too, but much prefer paperbacks.

[Ishita]

I can totally identify with that... :)

[Marina]

I had all Stéphanie Laurens’ Cynster/Bastion Club/ Black Cobra books . Then I decided to sell the all of them together and guess what: I got a very decent price for them. If you like the writing style of an author you automatically start to look for the other books written by the same writer. So the books begin to add up and yes: then you opt for e-books as you become to feel uncomfortable because your books take too much space away from the living space of your other family members. My other option is to give the books to my sister-in-law or my sister (while my heart is bleeding...)

Oh, well done Marina. Wish I could sell my SL books too. They do take up a lot of my shelf space!

[Bella]

Yes I have for instance ; Julia Quinn, R.J Lewis, kaki warna and many more 🙂

[Elaine]

Are you running out of space like me?
I have Julia Quinn too.

[Bella]

Yes 🙂
