Book Timelines
From the fan letters I've received in the mail, or from book signings
and speaking engagements, I've gathered that many of you would like a timeline
of my books, and to know which ones are or are not connected, so here it
is! Below is the best order to read my
books (with a few exceptions as noted).
If you would prefer a simple printable list of books without explanation, please
click
here. If you would like a simple printable list grouped as series or
connected novels, click here.
Keep in mind that though many of my books mention characters from other books,
they may not be direct sequels. This makes it really fun to see the connections!
In the table Relates to Ariana Series means that the book relates
back to the Ariana series in at least some small way. Books with a check
in the Directly about Perrault Family column means that they are direct
sequels about the Perrault family, though Ariana is not the narrator or
point-of-view character. However, you do not have to read the first novels
to enjoy later ones:
