Who else loves a good series binge??? One of my favorite things to do is to jump immediately from one book to the next in a series. No waiting, no forgetting who characters are or what happened to them. Just reading. So here are some of my favorite series that you can just BINGE.

Thanks for sharing this list! I’m always looking for new series to binge read! 😊 I have been /trying/ to complete The Raven Cycle for over a year now, but I just never find the time!

Great choices! I’ve read and loved Six of Crows, Inkworld, Daughter of Smoke and Bone, and The Lunar Chronicles. The Raven Cylce and Crazy Rich Asians is on my list though, as is the Madman’s Daughter. Just about any retelling is actually.
