Caitlin Kittredge's 'Black London' series is definitely list-worthy, and I agree with Lily; 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' should definitely have a spot here (although the ending was disappointing). Over all, a pretty good list, a large portion seems to be dark fantasy.

"Why is this list tagged as adult? Like 90% of these are for children/teens. Or for people with no brain cells *coughtwilightcoughliterallyworstbookofalltime*"

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. 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. If it makes you feel better, I didn't put the option of Twilight when I started the list. :D

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. 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. I appreciate all the votes of course, but this list is dependent on voting, and there's nothing much I can do about it.

As for The Host being a trilogy, it apparently is, if Goodreads is to be trusted:

http://www.goodreads.com/series/46642...

Also from Wikipedia:

"She said in an interview that, if published, the first sequel would be entitled The Soul and the second The Seeker. In November 2009, she said, "I'd like to eventually have The Host be part of a trilogy." In a Q&A session in Kansas City, Meyer stated that she has outlines for the sequels, but she has not decided whether she will write them since The Host universe is a "dangerous place" where characters might die, and she is not sure if she wants to kill them off."

Removed for not being part of any series: The 3 Musketeers, by Dumas, and The Taming of the Shrew, by Shakespeare. Per request I have found and removed On the Road, p.4.

Questioning but have not touched because I am not familiar with these series:Belonging, p.3 (says "Temptation #2"...are we to assume anything marked with a # other than 1 is out, or are some of them separate and distinct in some other way? Trying to be careful here!) Also on p.4, "Seduced in the Dark" (Dark Duet #2) and Ascend (Trylle Trilogy #3).

"The Vicomte de Bragelonne opens an epic adventure which continues with Louise de la Valliere and reaches its climax in The Man in the Iron Mask. This new edition is the only one in print and is fully annotated with an introduction that sets Dumas's saga in its historical and cultural context."--this is from Amazon.com.

I am going to leave the rest of the list for others to edit.

It's quite easy to tell if books are part of a series or not. Just click on the title and look for a grey bracket indicating any #s next to the title. Anything without a bracket, or with a number other than #1 probably does not belong. That's how I do it anyway. Going by this, Jonathan's right about the Three Musketeers being a 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.)

Exceptions: When chronological order contradicts publishing order
Example: 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.

"Its silly how many books are on this list that are the only one released in the series. You cant know if the series will be good as a whole yet."

I was reading old comments and this is a good point. 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. It's true we won't be able to tell if it's any good, but then that's what votes are for.

To date, I have gone through all pages and deleted inappropriate titles, including box sets, stand alone titles, and non-first books. 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.

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. Are you going to pay me by the hour? No? Quit bitching then.) The instructions are at the top of the list, and I trust that reading a few lines shouldn't cause anyone a fit since they're on a reading-related site to begin with.
