From my understanding this is not a series per GR definitions, but wanted to make sure!

From what I can tell each book has different characters and they are based in different times. The only thing that seems to tie them together is they occur during a disaster type event. I am also pretty sure they can be read in any order, so don't need to be numbered as they are either.

I Survived the Shark Attacks of 1916
I Survived Hurricane Katrina, 2005
I Survived the Bombing of Pearl Harbor, 1941
I Survived the San Francisco Earthquake, 1906
I Survived the Attacks of September 11th, 2001
I Survived the Battle of Gettysburg, 1863
I Survived the Japanese Tsunami, 2011

- Should this series listing be deleted? And keep the books only listed on a list?
