Helpful Reference if You Like Books in Series

Do you like to read books that are part of series? If so, here's an online resource that you may find very useful. I do! The website is called Books 'n' Bytes. They have lists of authors with the books they've written and it's listed by series. Now when I say this, please don't assume that they have every series 100% correct, because they don't. I've found mistakes in the past. But they seem to have a fairly high percentage that are correct. It's a huge task to try to keep updated on every new book in a series by so many authors, and because of this they realize they may have some mistakes or get behind sometimes. At the bottom each author's page they have an e-mail link so you can send them an update if you have information they haven't posted yet. That way you can help them maintain a list all of us can use. For the most part I use Books 'n' Bytes to check on a series listing, but they also have a lot of author interviews that can be very interesting. Read the interview with Karin Slaughter.

Fantastic Fiction is another great resource. It comes to us from the UK. It is similar to Books 'n' Bytes in a lot of ways, in that it lists the works of an author and tells us what's in the series. They list things a little differently from each other and there are things I like about both. For example, I like the page set-up on Books 'n' Bytes better. But, on the other hand, I like that Fantastic Fiction keeps the Author Index box on every page so I can go quickly from one author's page to start my search for another. On Books 'n' Bytes I have to navigate back to get to an index. These are just little things, but sometimes it makes a difference when it comes to choosing which one I want to use.

There are a lot of great book sites out there and these are just a few of my favorites. I hope you'll find them as useful as I have as you continue reading your way through life.
