 I like winning. I like winning books even more. Since I've been lucky enough to win two books recently, I's like to pass on the good karma and give away a prize of my own! Love them or hate them, book series* are incredibly popular. I always feel a little sad when I finish reading a book, because I'll miss the characters (until I read it again!), but with book series, I get to enjoy the characters for so much longer. I've chosen some books that you may or may not have read, but that all take you back to the beginning of a series. The winner will get to choose one of:
To win:
Winner will be drawn Friday, October 15th (NZT). *By "series" I'm encompassing trilogies, quartets or anything else with more than one book that follows the same characters Writer’s Block NZ Comments29/09/2010 9:01am
What a collection! Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series is the only one of the bunch that I've read, but I've heard great things about the others. :D 29/09/2010 9:38am
Hey fellow Voice member :) Great contest. Hmm, favorite series of all time...But there's so many! One series I do go back to over and over again is Terry Brooks' Sword of Shannara series - great to see you've got it on the list :) 29/09/2010 9:49am
It's hard to pick a favorite series of all time as so many great ones can't be compared. I would have to say Harry Potter just because it really opened up the world of YA Fantasay for me and acted as a doorway to many more enjoyable reads in that genre. 29/09/2010 11:34am
Choose my favourite series of all time? The Discworld books win by sheer volume of awesome, but I'm also rather partial to Susan Cooper's Dark is Rising sequence and Gaelyn Gordon's Stonelight and Mindfire. Jessica Scott-Sokolov 29/09/2010 4:36pm
Favourite series would have to be The Wind on Fire trilogy by William Nicholson. Have read those books over and over. 29/09/2010 6:13pm
I love Terry Pratchett, most of the time. I die laughing for the Wee Free Men. 30/09/2010 6:33am
Wow... tough question. I absolutely love Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series, even though some of the middle books drag a bit. Wies & Hickman's "Dragonlance Trilogy" is pretty awesome. Of course, such a list is remiss not to mention "The Lord of the Rings". But you asked for my favorite of all time. That's hard to say... but I always think fondly back to Lloyd Alexander's "Prydain Chronicles" as the original motivation for making me into a writer. Plus, it's YA, which fits your theme here. My favorite series would have to be Harry Potter. Yes, I know, technically not YA, though the last few books help to to at least qualify for that genre. 30/09/2010 6:45pm
Definately Terry Brook's Sword of Shannara series, they're among the first books to inspire my love of fantasy. 30/09/2010 9:00pm
Tough choice, but it'll have to be Jean M. Auel's Earth Children series based in the Pleistocene era that follows the rise of one race of man and the fall of another through the adventures of one Cro-Magnon girl raised by Neanderthals. 01/10/2010 9:02am
Retweeted your contest tweet, will tweet separately about it tomorrow. Arceli 01/10/2010 9:05am
My favorite series is the Obernewtyn Chronicles by Isobelle Carmody. Deven Avila 01/10/2010 10:32am
I have alot of "Favorites" but my current can't wait for the next book favorite series is Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments April is too far away!! 02/10/2010 8:48pm
Hands down, the Dark is Rising sequence by Susan Cooper. I re-read it every year, strategically timing my start so that I'll be reading The Dark Is Rising itself over Christmas, even if I am here in sunny Australia! 03/10/2010 12:53am
My favorite series of all time is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Period. :3 Daniel Chuter 04/10/2010 1:38pm
DragonLance. Though mainly the original trilogy. The emotion and exploration of religion vs belief was a big up on the rest of the generic fantasy of it's time. Timb 04/10/2010 7:18pm
Will Christopher Baer's Phineas Poe Trilogy. The first book riffs on the 'Kidney Theft' urban legend. Throw in the requisite femme fatal, drugs, dodgy cops and faulty memory and you have pitch perfect neo-noir for the 21st Century. Sorry it ain't fantasy :) 05/10/2010 10:53am
hmm...favorite series of all time huh? Well I'd have to go with Harry Potter I think, but the Anne of Green Gables Series and the Boxcar Children series are pretty high up there. k_sunshine1977 06/10/2010 4:44am
of all time is a tough call.... Tabby Lewis 06/10/2010 9:25am

Asimov Foundation series/ Harry harrison Deathworld/ Anne McC Pern...all my oldies. 14/10/2010 4:16pm
