1st In a Series


COMPLETED: 5 of 12
Due Date: December 31, 2008

I decided to join Thoughts of Joy's First in a Series Challenge. Here are the rules:
Read 12 books that are the first in any series (new authors not required)
You may read your chosen books any time during the year; however, most plan to read one a month. A lot of people selected mysteries...these aren't my favorite books so I have searched Amazon for 1sts and here is what I came up with.

1. Love Comes Softly by Janette Oke (Love Comes Softly Series) - COMPLETE
2. The Quilter's Apprentice by Jennifer Chiaverini (Elm Creek Series) -COMPLETE
3. The Negotiator by Dee Henderson (O’Malley Series) - COMPLETE
4. Dakota Born by Debbie Macomber (Dakota Series)
5. High Country Bride - Linda Lael Miller (The McKettrick Series)
6. Land of my Heart by Tracie Peterson (Heirs of Montana)
7. Cape Refuge by Terri Blackstock (Cape Refuge Series)
8. The Texan's Touch by Jodi Thomas (Texas Brothers Trilogy)

9. To Love and to Cherish by Patricia Gaffney (Wyckerley Trilogy)
10. For the Roses by Julie Garwood (Clayborne Series)
11. Shameless by Karen Robards (Banning Sisters Trilogy)
12. A Great and Terrible Beauty – Libba Bray (book 1) (YA) - COMPLETE

I am having a hard time finding The Texan's Touch by Jodi Thomas (Texas Brothers Trilogy)
and Shameless by Karen Robards (Banning Sisters Trilogy) and refuse to pay $25 for an out of print copy, so I have added some alternates

Alternates -

13. Little House in the Big Woods - Laura Ingles Wilder
14. Anne of Green Gables by LM Montgomery
15. Reclaiming Nick: Noble Legacy (Book 1) by Susan Warren

16. The Golden Compass - Philip Pullman (His DarkMaterials #1) - (YA) COMPLETE
