Top Series of 5 Books or Less
Each month we ask our Facebook followers for a book or series recommendation based on a particular genre or similar parameters – and then print the answers in our mid-month newsletter.
I thought it would be a good idea to have a separate page listing these, as I use it as a reference guide often.
For this week’s list, we have the Top Series of 5 Books or Less which was originally posted in the September 2020 Newsletter.
A lot of people like to read a book series that has a good length, but not too long. A good story arc doesn’t always need fifteen books. If that’s something you are looking for, these book series are for you. This list has a bit of everything from mystery to sci-fi to fantasy to romance.
If you see any shorter book series that you like that are missing on this list, please let us know in the comments below so we can add it!
