After a 6 year absence, Jim Butcher is back with two Dresden Files books, Peace Talks and Battle Ground, sort of. What was intended to be one book was split in two. Does it work? Kittenkong42 says, "...Peace Talks dragged a bit too much. At the same time Battle Ground was non-stop and a great action adventure." For our reviewers, the two books have issues, but they're excited to see where Butcher is going with the series next.

In addition to being a Dresden Files reader, this year I started Nalini Singh’s Psy-Changeling series - 15 books and going.

Raven Black (blackraven6913) | 198 comments Depending on what you mean by "longest" I think the Avatar series is the oldest as the TV series started back in the late 1990s even though the books were much later in some cases. I also want to (someday) finish the Hilo series by Judd Winick (which looks like it started in 2015). I came late to several series so to me they are all new and have therefore caught up with them. However, with at least the exception of Amulet #9 is due 2021, the series started 2008. (Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head)

Katie (faintingviolet) | 44 comments The Inspector Gamache books by Louise Penny is my longest series, I've read 14 out of the 16 currently published (she's published one a year since 2005). I look forward to them and have been spreading them out, at my current pace I'll catch up with her in 2021.

I've read the first two, but I need access to a library (for reasons out of my control, I can't get a library card) or a used bookstore to read the rest of the series.

Malin (maline) | 17 comments The longest series I've read pretty much every book in is Terry Pratchett's Discworld (I have yet to read Raising Steam, because both my husband and my BFF, who both love Pratchett as much as me said it's just sad, since it's so clearly one where his brain had started going and fast, nor The Shepard's Crown, which is the very last one, because once I read that one, it's final and there will never ever be any new Discworld books for me to read).

The longest series I'm sort of in the middle of is J.D. Robb's In Death series, where I think I've read 20-something books now, but she's up to nearly 50 books, especially if you count novellas and stuff, so I'm ages away from running out of reading material, especially since La Nora churns out two or three new installments each year.
