:) it's one of my husband's favorite series.
I'm away from home now, but I've noticed the trend so far is longer series. Maybe too soon to ask whether anyone also has a shorter series to nominate...?We might make it work to read two short series together next year while we read a longer one for the entire year -- just a thought.
I see a few longer series listed that I'd like to start :)

It really doesn't matter about the length other than to have enough to books in a series to make it worthwhile.
Do you have any to recommend?

Sounds like a plan. It's probably not right for this challenge but I thought I would just put it out there :-).

There are only a few rules:
1. You're limited to nominating a maximum of three series
2. Each nominated series must have at least three books (more than five are preferable)
3. The books in the series must be available for purchase.
4. Your nomination must include the series name and author (check on Goodreads for the proper series name).
Nominations will be open until September 30. At that time, we will set up a poll for everyone to vote for their choice. We will do three polls at the same time to allow everyone an opportunity to cast three votes. (You'll only be allowed one vote per series). The three series with the most votes will be selected as our group reads for 2016.
Let the nominations begin!
