I'd like to read Bring Up the Bodies byHilary Mantel for this one. It's the second book of a trilogy, part three is to be published ca. 2015.

You're good to go with this, since #2 is the most recently published. I am eagerly awaiting #3!

Thank you Sandy! I absolutely loved Wolf Hall and can't wait to get started on Bring up the Bodies.

Actually, altho I liked Wolf Hall a lot, I liked Bring Up the Bodies even more.
At present this appears to be the last of the series, Though it is labeled as "The Shetland Quartet" this is # 5Dead Water. I'm hoping she doesn't have a #6 in the works.
Mod
Doesn't look as if #6 is even mentioned at this point.

So it is ok to use providing I read it soon?
Mod
sure, it's the latest in the series.

Will The Cuckoo's Calling work since it's listed as being #1 in a series even though there aren't any others out yet?
Mod
yes, since it's marked as #1 in a series - I guess it's also the latest, LOL!
Will A Dance with Dragons: After the Feast work, as it is the latest in the series but also a part 2 of the fifth book?
Mod
Sorry, but complete books have to be read to satisfy a task, not just part of a book (even if the publisher decided to split up the book for publishing purposes in some markets).
Mod
Once Upon a Time in the North by Philip Pullman"
okay
I'd like to read As You Are by Sara Eden. It's listed as #3 in a 4 book series on Goodreads. However, her books have been out of print for several years and are slowly being re-printed by a new publisher. Book 3 is the most recent one published and, therefore, available. Does this work?
Mod
sorry, no. It needs to be #1 or the last in a series.
