There are so many more than I want to write, but it's time to go get dinner ready. Also, I think there is probably enough here to keep you busy for awhile. :)
I will do another blog post later on in the summer with more series because there are a bunch I love that I didn't include. I think this link has some of almost everything, even some light, fluffy reading.
I actually found a copy of The Mysterious Benedict Society book 2 at the thrift store the other day. It was a hardback in excellent condition and only .25 cents!! I remembered you talked about it around Christmas so I grabbed it. I need to find the other books on ebay to go with it. I think I maybe more excited to read it than the my oldest. I also picked up book 2 of the all souls trilogy at the same thrift store for .50 cents. I thought the cover was pretty and after seeing it on your list I am glad I got it. I am on book 4 of Outlander and enjoying the TV series. I also have read the Knit one, Kill two and loved the ones I have read. I love the list gave me some ideas of things to add to my list. Can not wait to see whats to come on your blog
