Series recommendation?

[Anonymous]

I would love some recommendations for new books, especially series. I like getting to see familiar characters in different books. I’m looking for relatively upbeat books with happy endings.

I like all kinds of genres.. especially historical romance, fantasy, and cozy mystery. Favorite authors include Tessa Dare, Louise Penny, Colin Cotterill, Georgette Heyer, Terry Pratchett.

Slow Horses by Mick Herron. 8 books. Brilliant, gripping, hilarious and made into a TV show starring Gary Oldman.

Have you read Elizabeth Peters? KJ Charles? Both are great for recurring character development over their series’.

OP here. I just finished the series. They were great, thank you! Didn’t like the last one as much but the series as a whole was enjoyable. Any other recommendations?

Deanna Raybourn's Veronica Speedwell series. She has a great sense of humor. Fast, fun reads with tight plotting and a great cast of secondary characters.

Debbie Macomber (romance novelist) wrote a series of four books all set in a small town in North Dakota. I read all four and enjoyed them.

The first book is called Dakota Born. In that book, the protagonist was living in Savannah but broke up with her boyfriend and decided to go on vacation to the small town in North Dakota where her grandparents lived and where she had spent summer vacations. The local school needed a new teacher so she moved there and lived happily ever after.

The second book is called Dakota Home. In that book, the BFF of the book one protagonist decides to move to the same town.

In the third book, local girl has the hots for local boy.

In the fourth book, a man comes to town to scout for a location to build a walmart / target type of store. Decides to move there forever.

All the characters intertwine throughout all four books.

OP here. I read the first one and thought, that poster has a very different sense of humor from mine. I didn’t find it funny AT ALL. But I have a pathological need to see what happens next so I persisted, and the books get much funnier. They’re darker than my usual choices, but very entertaining. I’ll be watching for the next one to come out. Thanks for the recommendation!
