My god! I've been watching book tubers for the last few months and NO ONE has mentioned Ken follett and the Kingsbridge series! Finally someone who talks about really good books rather than hyped up new releases. I've literally just purchased the shardlake series too.... I'm subbing lol
I agree I read some of these series years ago but I'm going to start reading them again

I just loved The century trilogy, by Ken Follett. It is my favorite trilogy ever! I do love The seven sisters series, by Lucinda Riley, as well. What a talent!!
My favourite epic stories are the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon . Perfect if you like history , romance and time travel . Beautifully written series full of mystery , intrigue and fantastic historical detail . I thoroughly recommend them .
Thanks for reminding me of the Ken Follett series. I added both series to my TBR. Some other epic series not mentioned: Fantasy - The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan (14 books) Historical Fiction - Shogun (Asian Saga) by James Clavell (6 books) Historical Fiction - The Last Kingdom by Bernard Cornwell (13 books) Police Procedural - the 87th Precinct novels by Ed McBain (40+ books) World War II - The Winds of War by Herman Wouk (2 books)
C J Sansom's Shardlake novels are wonderful. As are The Cazalets, except for the last one in the series which was written a long time after the others and has a very different feel in my opinion.
As I already commented below your excellent Norwich video, my favourite epic stories are certainly the Shardlake novels of CJ Sansom, but I also love the Kingsbridge and the Century trilogies of Ken Follett. Historic novels and crime stories are my favourite genre, I never really got into the fantasy and horror genre, as I can't enjoy the often absurd plots. But in the end about taste cannot be argued 😉
Ooh I will watch the Norwich video as that's where I live! I love this concept for a video. I am planning on re-reading the earth's children series which was written from 1980s to 2000s and is set in prehistoric times. As a teen I adored it, so we'll see if it stands the test of time! I've had pillars of the earth for years and really need to get to it.
I love the Shardlake series, I feel like im right there in that same time period with him. I'm listening to a radio drama of the series now, it's very well done. The author was a real lawyer, and history scholar, which makes the books stories so real
Love the Ken Follett series have read both Kingsbridge and the century trilogy. Pillars of the earth got me back into reading. Currently reading the new one.
My favourite series is The seven sisters series by lucinda riley so happy it was included in your video .... just luv this series can’t wait for the next book in the seven sisters 💞💞another good series is the Clifton series by Jeffery archer 📚💞📚
Love the Kingsbridge series, but only liked the first book in his Century trilogy. The second book was ok, but the third one was terrible. Follett is an excellent author and has been around for a long time. Sansom’s series is a favorite of mine, too. I’d like to check out the Seven Sisters and Howard’s series as well.
You are a bad influence to me as you have just made my tbr even longer than it was love you and your amazing channel please stay safe love 💖 John from Australia xx soon as you tube fix my problem I will subscribe to your channel love 💖 John xxxx
. *Historical Fiction* I've already read the first two books of The Century trilogy, LOVED them . Edge of Eternity is still on my TBR. *Thriller /Mistery* These novels are treasure to me The Millennium trilogy by Stieg Larsson ; The Cemetery of Forgotten Books by Carlos Ruiz Zafón The Robert Langdon series by Dan Brown: Inferno is the best one !
Silver Raine because there isn’t one. I’ll read any historical fiction and his books are just a mess. There’s never an overarching conflict that affects his cast of thin and stereotypical characters and he has a crazy obsession with public hair! I have no idea why anyone likes his books. They’re a mess.

I was watching it on Netflix and it was sooo amazing! Then I found out it was a book series so I decided to stop watching until I've read them.

I've had pillars of the earth for years and really need to get to it.
I display the book covers of "The Evening and the Morning" and "My Dark Vanessa" (us version) as works of art. So beautiful!! 📚👸🏻💖💕

What a great video!!!!! I loved the Century Trilogy... still to read other!
Love the Ken Follett series have read both Kingsbridge and the century trilogy. Pillars of the earth got me back into reading. Currently reading the new one.
what a cool idea!
My favorite epic series is The Accursed Kings by Maurice Druon, I think I might like C.J. Sansom books
I love, love, love the Shardlake series.
I haven’t seen the Shardlake series before but they look very intriguing.
I love the first three series I wish I could get them in trade size but unfortunately I'll have to settle for the Kindle
My favourite series is The seven sisters series by lucinda riley so happy it was included in your video .... just luv this series can’t wait for the next book in the seven sisters 💞💞another good series is the Clifton series by Jeffery archer 📚💞📚
What genre is seven sisters series???

Haha sorry for being a bad influence!
Book Break no way love it 😍
The Dark Tower for...mmm.... I’m gonna say weird fiction!
if the morning and the evening book is called a prequal shouldnt that be the first book? dosent prequel mean 1 book before the 1st book?
. *Historical Fiction* I've already read the first two books of The Century trilogy, LOVED them . Edge of Eternity is still on my TBR.
*Thriller /Mistery* These novels are treasure to me
The Millennium trilogy by Stieg Larsson ;
The Cemetery of Forgotten Books by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
The Robert Langdon series by Dan Brown: Inferno is the best one !
Funny epic? Discworld books by Terry Pratchett
Ken Follet can't put a sentence together and his stories have no plot. I don't understand why people like him.
And I was wondering why Emma didn't say clearly what the plot is
Silver Raine because there isn’t one. I’ll read any historical fiction and his books are just a mess. There’s never an overarching conflict that affects his cast of thin and stereotypical characters and he has a crazy obsession with public hair! I have no idea why anyone likes his books.
