Top Ten Tuesday: Today's topic is favorite books with numbers in the title. Since we just did that post two years ago (If you want to see that list, here it is: 'TTT: Books with numbers in the title') I decided to tweak the theme and attempt to identify my favorite books in series by number.

Chaos Walking / Ness The Knife of Never Letting Go #1
The Chronicles of Narnia / Lewis The Voyage of the Dawn Treader #3
Hunger Games / Collins Hunger Games / Catching Fire Tie #1, 2

As a teen librarian I felt an urge to read widely so I rarely would complete series once I got a feel for the story line and the author's writing. Of the many, many series I started it was rare that I would finish them. I did complete all the books in the series listed above, however.
