Series by Genre

The genre categories are mine, not backed up by anything other than a couple of cataloguing courses way back in library school, and my system is as imperfect as these systems often are. I've put things where I think they fit best, for the sake of making it easier to find what you might be looking for. In cases where it's really impossible to decide which genre to stick the book into, I've stuck it in two.

These are series I intend to continue with, at some point. However, the observant reader will note that only three of the following series have been completed. Do not hold your breath on any of the incomplete ones. I'm working on it.
