2017 Reading Challenge discussion

I'm looking for suggestion for a trilogy. I would like to read something that wouldn't be catagorized as YA. I love all types of book so I'm open to any suggestions.
Just to note I've already read the Lord.or the Rings trilogy and Millennium books aka The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy.
Thanks

Good question! I want to avoid YA for this too. I'm thinking about the All Souls Trilogy (beginning with A Discovery of Witches)or The Bourne Trilogy.

Nora Roberts has several trilogies to pick from

I have also read a lot of the Nora Roberts to and really enjoyed them

Ted Dekker has the Paradise Trilogy, and The Books of Mortal Trilogy.

Vladimir Sorokin's Ice Trilogy looks interesting.

Stephen Lawhead has a couple of really good trilogies. I don't think they are classified as YA. I loved his Dragon King series. I started another based on the Robin Hood myth, Hood, Scarlet, Tuck are the 3 books in that series.

Thanks for the heads up i think I will check out Robin Hood ones. Did Lawhead write them?

Gabriel's Inferno trilogy by Sylvain Reynard.

I can't remember if The Perilous Realm Trilogy by Thomas Wharton is YA, pardon me if it is. Read the #1 and #2, and hooked. So yeah, I want more people read this great series.

Robertson Davies has several amazing trilogies that are my absolute favourites! I particularly recommend the Deptford Trilogy. All three books chronicle the same series of events but from the viewpoint of three radically different characters. It never feels repetitive, just really fascinating.

Madison Scott Bell is a masterful writer. I've read several of his novels, but not yet his "Haitian Revolution Trilogy" ("All Souls Rising," "Master of the Crossroads," and "The Stone That the Builder Refused"). It begins in 1791 with the first slave rebellion and concludes in 1804 with the defeat of Napoleon's army and Haiti's declaration of independence.

Highly recommend the Discovery of Witches, as mentioned above, and Lev Grossman's Magician's books.

The Cemetery of Forgotten Books series by Carlos Ruiz Zafron. I am reading the first one now (The Shadow of the Wind) and if I like it, I will pick up the other two. If I don't like it enough to read the other two, I will use it as my book originally written in another language (Spanish).

I read "The Shadow of the Wind" years ago and loved it. But for some reason I never got around to reading the two sequels.

I actually loved the writing in that book, but got bogged down about 3/4 of the way through. It probably had more to do with my mental state at the time, than the book. It is truly masterful writing. I'm going to make that one my Book you read but never finished.

If you're a really avid reader, or plan to use the same book to cover multiple categories, then the Century Trilogy (historical fiction) by Ken Follett is an excellent option. Fall of Giants (2010), Winter of the World (2012), and Edge of Eternity (2014) are the installments.

Diane Chamberlain has a trilogy. Her books are usually very good. That's what's I'll be choosing for mine!

I'm planning to read the Maze Runner trilogy for this one.

I'm going for William Gibson's Bridge trilogy for this one. I've had those books in my shelf for a decade and it's time I read them. Loved the Sprawl trilogy.

I read Sherri Tepper's Trilogy entitled True Game. She's one of my favorite scifi fantasy authors. It's truly one of the best series I've ever read. The main protagonist is a young man, a teenager, but I would not categorize it as YA.

Child 44 is the first book of a trilogy. It's about a serial killer in Russia. I posted it under - number in the title - but I think I will read the other two and move it to this category.

Marilynne Robinson's Gilead trilogy -- Gilead, Home, and Lila. If you are doubling up on categories Gilead would also serve for the award category having won the Pulitzer.

I've read the ones you have as well, so this time I'm going hoping to read the Ken Follett trilogy: Fall of Giants, Winter of the World, and Edge of Eternity.
