Longest Series I Have Read

I have read 2 really long series, (in number of books and in number of pages in the books). Series #1 is called The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan, and it's more of an adult series.  I liked the books though, so it's really (definitely) up to parents.  This series is 13 books long, with another book coming out ..... sometime.  :)  I hope soon, because I hate to leave a series hanging, but all I can do is wait.  The first book is called The Eye of the World, but there is a prequel to the series titled New Spring, if you want to read that first.  The books are all really long, some are over 1000 pages.  It will take a long time to read, take it from me.  I finish most books in record time.  :) Series #2 is titled Canterwood Crest.  Also with 13 books and a friend told me there is more coming out, so I'll have to wait for those too.  So much waiting!!  :)  I've only read 12 of the books so far and I am waiting for the 13th to come in at the library.  This series i

Pies and Prejudice by Heather Vogel Frederick

A major event is has occurred in the fourth book of the Mother Daughter book club series.  Emma is moving to England!!!  Thankfully, the other members of the book club come up with a way to keep the book club going.  Now Emma and her mother do a video chat once a month with their friends.  This year, since Emma and her mother (and brother and father) are in England, the book club is reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, Mrs. Hawthorne's favorite author.  And while the Hawthorne's are in England for the year, an English family has moved into Emma's house.  The new family has 2 boys, one the girls' age (Simon) and one slightly older (Tristan).  Cassidy and her mother are the first to meet the new family, and Cassidy starts off immediately disliking Tristan, and she's not exactly his favorite person either.  And if that isn't bad enough, as a favor to one of the book club friends, Cassidy is Tristan's figure skating partner!!  Cassidy isn't sure she c

Dear Pen Pal by Heather Vogel Frederick

The third book in the Mother Daughter book club is about writing as well as reading.  The girls have pen pals from a mother daughter book in Wyoming, and they're all reading Daddy Long Legs by Jean Webster.  Not all the girls like having a pen pal.  Everyone writes though.  Jess writes to her pen pal about her new school, Colonial Academy, and about her mean dorm partner, Savannah Sinclair.  Cassidy writes about her stepfather and her soon to be baby brother or sister.  Cassidy also gets into an argument with her mother, so they go to the family shrink as Cassidy calls him.  He makes Cassidy write letters to the baby, on top of letters to her pen pal.  No more writing please!!  Emma on the other hand loves writing and is getting along perfectly with her pen pal.  Megan's pen pal loves to sew, and Megan is excited.  Until she finds out that her pen pal sews quilts .  Becca has a pen pal who just like her, snotty, mean and thinking she's better than everybody.  Only after las
