If you’re anything like me, you’re someone who loves really diving into new worlds and characters. In my opinion, the most appealing thing about starting a new series is knowing that there’s so much to come and so much to learn. I love knowing that I’m going to have time to get to know and befriend all these characters I’m reading about on a level that only several books can provide. In honor of my love of series, here is a list of first books in a series that you will ABSOLUTELY LOVE!
