I had fully intended to do list of 100 completed trilogies or series, but that was a task that proved a bit complicated. Some of the best book series out there are not and may never be “complete.” And can you imagine how far down you’d have to scroll for 300+ books? It’d be a bit unmanageable.

Instead, I went with titles from trilogies and completed series that added up to 100 individual books. That’s the equivalent of about 30 box sets or really sweet ebook bundles. And when you think of it that way, it’s like a super convenient gift guide. Who doesn’t appreciate one of those?
