It's more of an unoffical series, because you can read each of the novels on their own, but they are enjoyable light reads, but also have a series side too. Good for discussions. <br /><br />Here's the titles (in order):<br /><br />Watermelon<br />Rachel's Holiday<br />Angels<br />Anybody Out There?Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16710947946492000374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-62540214376899040512009-05-21T18:46:46.209-06:002009-05-21T18:46:46.209-06:00Miss Julia is very light.

King. I just discovered them earlier this year and LOVED them. In my opinion they read more like historical fiction most of the time. <br /><br />Of course, you could always go for a sci-fi/fantasy series. OR you could each choose a series that is outside your normal comfort zone ... just a thought. :)Heather J. @ TLC Book Tourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10474181812740579350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-14278817065732994872009-05-21T05:35:06.872-06:002009-05-21T05:35:06.872-06:00I love the Lady Emily Ashton series by Tasha Alexa...I love the Lady Emily Ashton series by Tasha Alexander.
