If anybody wants the list to be accurate, they'll have to play their part in adding the correct titles, because it takes forever to edit 1,000+ titles (Three hours, to be exact.

I have left some box sets because a) the series order is far too complex to discern which is Book 1, and b) far too many people have voted. To date, I have gone through all pages and deleted inappropriate titles, including box sets, stand alone titles, and non-first books. It's true we won't be able to tell if it's any good, but then that's what votes are for. However, if the author has plans for a series but has only published the first book, it should still be counted as being part of a series. I was reading old comments and this is a good point. You cant know if the series will be good as a whole yet." "Its silly how many books are on this list that are the only one released in the series. (Note that not all the titles on the listopia page reflect that they're part of a series, you need to click on the individual titles to confirm if they are.)Įxceptions: When chronological order contradicts publishing orderĮxample: The Hunt for Red October (Jack Ryan, #3) - Although #3 in chronological order, this book was published first in the series, so we'll leave it on the list for now. Going by this, Jonathan's right about the Three Musketeers being a series. Anything without a bracket, or with a number other than #1 probably does not belong. Just click on the title and look for a grey bracket indicating any #s next to the title. It's quite easy to tell if books are part of a series or not. In November 2009, she said, "I'd like to eventually have The Host be part of a trilogy."

"She said in an interview that, if published, the first sequel would be entitled The Soul and the second The Seeker.
I appreciate all the votes of course, but this list is dependent on voting, and there's nothing much I can do about it.Īs for The Host being a trilogy, it apparently is, if Goodreads is to be trusted: I have tried deleting replicas, non-first-books and box sets, but the list is over 9 pages long, and it takes up waaay too much time. People also have a habit of not listening to the instructions, in which I mentioned only to post the first book of the series to represent said series. If it makes you feel better, I didn't put the option of Twilight when I started the list. Unfortunately, as you can probably see, a huge percentage of goodreads' population consist of teens/tasteless readers, and because the list is based on votes, I can't delete Twilight and other undeserving books from it, what with respecting other's opinions and such. While I do agree with you that Twilight isn't even one quarter near good literature, I created this list with the intent to celebrate good series, regardless of whether they were intended for kids, young adults, or adults.

It will mean some frustration, questions and learning to live deep in the "I don't know."

As image bearers of God, we can only understand ourselves correctly through the lens of who God is, carefully studying the character and purposes of God, as revealed in the scriptures. Similar to the Inductive Bible Study method, it is a way of studying the Bible that puts God first.
