Wouldn't it be nice if authors who wrote series and sequels had the forethought to title their books in alphabetical order? Then there would be no patron confusion as to which book came next, or about why we librarians arrange them in alphabetical, instead of chronological, order. Inevitably we get questions as to why Catching Fire (the third novel of Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games trilogy) is shelved before The Hunger Games and Mockingjay or why The Amber Spyglass (the third book of Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy) is shelved ahead of The Golden Compass and The Subtle Knife, or why the Harry Potter books aren't in the right order. So we salute a couple of authors who make our jobs easier:
Ron Roy, author of the A to Z Mystery series for children ("The Absent Author," "The Bald Bandit," etc.)
Sue Grafton, author of the Kinsey Millhone mystery series ("A" is for Alibi, "B" is for Burglar, etc.)
Hmmm, why are they always mysteries? Or are there others? It's a mystery I will have to investigate.

Well, I just found your blog through search engine. Actually I didn't intend to visit it before, yet after I read your article, I just can say that it's so inspiring. Thanks for making such nice article!
I just wanted to leave a quick comment to say that your blog was nice. I found it on Google search after going through a lot of other information that was not really relevant. I thought I would find this much earlier considering how good the information is.
