This Fangirl - 2014
    Her website, sherrilynkenyon.com, tells us that her books are stand-alone reads that do not have to be read in order. But it also mentions inside jokes that will only be caught when the books are read in the order they were released. This information is available on the author's website, sherrilynkenyon.com. If, like me, you'd like to have the list on your kindle where you can pop it open just like your other kindle books instead of logging on to your laptop or PC, you will find this list handy. Hopefully you have the Kindle Unlimited subscription and can download it for free. If not, you'll have to decide if the convenience is worth a buck. This is a title list only. In reading order. No portions of the books mentioned have been reproduced here. No copyright infringement is intended. Just to avoid any misunderstandings about copyright, according to the United States Copyright Office, “Copyright law does not protect names, titles, or short phrases or expressions.” (copyright.gov, circular 34). I hope you find this made-for-kindle list as helpful as I do in deciding which of Ms. Kenyon's books to purchase and enjoy next.
