Book meme

ankaret. I doubt I'll do all of them (for one thing, I have trouble remembering things I hate, and I have trouble bringing to mind anything when I need to, like when I go to the library and the half-dozen books I have been planning to get out for the past week all rush out of my head), but I thought of two answers for the first one, despite my congenital difficulty deciding things, and that's good enough for me.
Day 01 - A book series you wish had gone on longer OR a book series you wish would just freaking end already (or both!)
A: Antonia Forest's Marlows. (I could probably answer half these questions with Marlows, tbh.) I don't care how unlikely the plot of the Lost Eleventh Book sounded, or that it was probably going to be more like Traitor than Cricket Term in its levels of awesomeness, I want to know what happened. Not to mention I want to see them in the Sixth with Nicola and Miranda joining forces to rule the world school and, please God, Nicola learning how to deal effectively with people like Keith and Redmond. (I don't know how myself. I would like to.) In fact, I would happily go on reading Marlow books into infinity, especially if I had ten years in between books to catch up on developments elsewhere. And if I ever get into Dream's Library, that is exactly what I am going to do.
B: Garth Nix's Keys to the Kingdom series. (I just had a momentary blank about the metatitle and nearly called it Garth Nix's Wet Week.) It's not that they're bad, or that I haven't read them, but they're aimed younger than I can successfully read, I don't really care about the characters except perhaps Leaf, and mostly I just really want the two projected Old Kingdom books.
