More Than Sufficient Proof...

The listing (alphabetical by author's last name) of the series of books I am reading continues, starting with the letter D...

• Anna Dale
• Not part of a series, per se, but her next novel that I have yet to read is Magical Mischief.
• Pamela Dean
• I've finished her "Secret Country" series, but I also have Tam Lin on my "to-read" shelf.
• Charles de Lint
• Of the 4-book "Cerin Songweaver" series, I have only read the first book. On deck: And the Rafters Were Ringing.
• Kate DiCamillo
• Again, they aren't in a series, strictly speaking; but I have a few of her books on my "to-read" shelf: at least The Tiger Rising and The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane.
• Charles Dickens
• I have a bookmark stuck a good way into Our Mutual Friend.
• I also have unread copies of Barnaby Rudge and Great Expectations lying around.
• Peter Dickinson
• One of his books that lives on my "to-read" shelf is the beginning of a 2-book series: The Ropemaker.
• Tony DiTerlizzi
• Besides the previously mentioned Spiderwick titles (co-authored with Holly Black), I am interested in his "WondLa" series, beginning with The Search for WondLa.
• Kenny and the Dragon also looks like it might be neat.
• Chris d'Lacey
• I have only read the first 2 books of the "Last Dragon Chronicles," currently weighing in at 7 books. I think I might have Book 3, Fire Star, somewhere.
• Ann Downer
• Besides her "Hatching Magic" books (both of which I have read), this author has also produced a "Spellkey" trilogy that I may get into sometime.
• Diane Duane
• I think I have both of her "Cat Wizards" books, The Book of Night with Moon and To Visit the Queen. The only reason I haven't read them is that I found the format of the copies I own to be somewhat cumbersome and tiring to the eyes.
• I am also interested in her novel On Her Majesty's Wizardly Service.

• Alexandre Dumas
• Among several titles by Dumas that I have loaded onto my Kindle are the sequels to The Three Musketeers, of which Twenty Years After seems to be my next target.
• Jeanne DuPrau
• I have been looking forward to Book 4 of her "Ember" series, titled The Diamond of Darkhold, for quite a while.
• Sarah Beth Durst
• This author, whom I once had the honor of interviewing, has written a sequel to her Into the Wild called, ahem, Out of the Wild.
• Julie Andrews Edwards
• The author formerly known as actress Julie Andrews has written at least one book that remains on my "to-read" shelf: Mandy.
• Stephen Elboz
• I have gotten through all of his "Kit Stixby" series, but some of his stand-alone novels that I have on my "to-read" shelf include Ghostlands and The Prisoner's Apprentice.
• George Eliot
• At this writing, I am in the midst of reading Adam Bede.
• Paul England
• I also have a bookmark somewhere in the middle of Favorite Operas by German and Russian Composers, the second half of the 2-volume reprint of his Fifty Operas.
• Steve Englehart
• I may eventually read the second "Max August" book, The Long Man.
• Elizabeth Enright
• Though the "Gone-Away Lake" books are already under my belt, I am committed to reading at least one more book by this author: Thimble Summer.
• Sam Enthoven
• I enjoyed The Black Tattoo. Based on that, the covers and titles of his (so far) three subsequent books sharpen my interest. If only reading the incoherent, borderline-illiterate blurbs on their back covers didn't dull it again...
• Eleanor Estes
• I still have two or three "Moffats" books to read, starting with The Middle Moffat.
• John Fardell
• The Secret of the Black Moon Moth seems to be a sequel to the previous book of his that I have read.

• Nancy Farmer
• The Lord of Opium, coming later this year, seems to be a sequel to House of the Scorpion.
• I have yet to read past Book 1 of the "Sea of Trolls" trilogy. Next up: The Land of the Silver Apples.
• Jasper Fforde
• I have missed the latest two "Thursday Next" books, titled One of Our Thursdays Is Missing and The Woman Who Died a Lot.
• I am also interested in his "Last Dragonslayer" series, which has 2 books so far.
• Cornelia Funke
• I believe I have both Inkspell and Inkdeath on my "to-read" shelf—completing the trilogy begun with Inkheart. I liked the first book, but the dreadful movie based on it took the wind out of my sails. I intend to get through the series this year.
• Jack Gantos
• I have been sitting on What Would Joey Do? for a while.
• Neil Gaiman
• One of my great ambitions is to overcome my aversion to graphic novels at least to such an extent as to enjoy his "Sandman" series.
• I also have a copy of InterWorld (co-authored with Michael Reaves) on my shelf—the first of a 2-book set.
• I am not far from having read all of his stand-alone novels. I have only to read Odd and the Frost Giants and The Ocean at the End of the Lane.
• Jean Craighead George
• I have only read the first book of her "Julie" trilogy.
• I am also interested in her "My Side of the Mountain" series—4 books.
• Adam Gopnik
• I am interested in his novel The Steps Across the Water—though, again, it isn't part of a series as such.
• Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams
• Their "Tunnels" series has six books as of this year; I have only read one. But the next two are on my "to-read" shelf: Deeper and FreeFall.

• Roger Lancelyn Green
• Books of his that I have collected but not yet imbibed: A Cavalcade of Dragons, A Cavalcade of Magicians, and (I think) The Luck of Troy.
• I think I should also try to get hold of The Land of the Lord High Tiger and Tale of Thebes. If I don't already have them somewhere...
• Lev Grossman
• I need to continue his "Magician" series with Book 2: The Magician King.
• Michael Gruber
• I am interested in starting his "Jimmy Paz" series, beginning with Tropic of Night.
• I am also considering his novel The Book of Air and Shadows.
• H. Rider Haggard
• I have only read the first of at least 14 books in his "Allan Quartermain" series, of which Book 2 is (duh) Allan Quartermain.
• Also, I have on my "to-read" shelf a copy of She and (co-authored with Andrew Lang) The World's Desire.
• Shannon Hale
• Book 4 of her "Books of Bayern" is Forest Born.
• Book 2 of her "Princess Academy" series is Palace of Stone.
• Her Book of a Thousand Days is on my "to-read" shelf.
• I have also been nerving myself up to enter her "Austenland" series, part of a genre of "takeoffs on Pride and Prejudice" that is growing so fast that I'm half scared to get into it.
• Victoria Hanley
• I have yet to read The Healer's Keep, a sequel to The Seer and the Sword.
• Thomas Hardy
• Books of his that I have short-term plans to read: The Trumpet-Major, The Woodlanders, and Jude the Obscure, at least.
• Deborah Harkness
• Shadow of Night is on my short-list of books to read soon.
• Mette Ivie Harrison
• I wasn't satisfied with the ending of The Princess and the Hound. This might be remedied by reading the next three books in the series, starting with The Princess and the Bear.
• Also, I have a copy of Mira, Mirror on my shelf.

• Paul Haven
• I am interested in his book The Seven Keys of Balabad.
• Markus Heitz
• The War of the Dwarves, the second book of a series translated from German, is on my short-list shelf.
• Joseph Helgerson
• Crows and Cards looks like it might be a nifty follow-up to Horns and Wrinkles.
• Carl Hiaasen
• Flush is the second book of (so far) 4 in the juvenile series that started with Hoot.
• Michael Hoeye
• I am up to Book 3 of the Hermux Tantamoq quartet: No Time Like Show Time.
• Mary Hoffman
• I have read only the first 3 of (so far) 6 books in her "Stravaganza" series. Next up: City of Secrets.
• E. W. Hornung
• I am currently reading his third collection of Raffles adventures: A Thief in the Night.
• Anthony Horowitz
• I have read the first 3 of at least 7 "Diamond Brothers" books. On deck: The French Confection.
• Of his 9-ish Alex Rider novels, I have read 7. On deck: Crocodile Tears.
• Somewhere on my bookshelf is Book 1 of his 5-book "Power of Five" series, Raven's Gate.
• Horowitz has also been tapped to reboot the Sherlock Holmes series. I have already borrowed the audiobook of The House of Silk from the library, though I have been out of touch with the Holmes canon since my early teens. That may mean getting back into Conan Doyle!
• John Hulme and Michael Wexler
• Book 3 of their "Seems" series is The Lost Train of Thought.
• Irene Hunt
• I could have sworn I had a copy of Across Five Aprils somewhere. I've been digging for it.
• Eva Ibbotson
• The trouble with deciding whether to read any more titles by this (recently deceased) author is that many of them were published under multiple titles. Some day I will sort them out and figure out which of her books I have yet to read. But not today.
• David Ives
• His novels Scrib and Voss look like they might be a hoot. Or two.

And the list goes on and on....
