Hi, Carrie. Sorry to drag this out further but I don't know if Companion would work. From what I've seen, "Companions" are usually guides or similar books that give extra information about an author's setting.

I'll say that the related books are companions. Great idea! Hopefully Bookshare members will understand the terminology. Thanks for the suggestion, Melissa! Carrie PS, since everyone agrees, I'll go with Kenyon's list rather than the others. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Melissa Smith <mdsmith25@xxxxxxxx> To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, August 31, 2009 1:41:58 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: For fans of Kenyon's Dark-Hunter series Carrie, I'm not familiar with this particular series, but I would follow the numbers given on the author's site. I know, with other series, sometimes there are books that are related, but not considered part of the series. They will sometimes call these books companions to whatever series they are related to.

I checked fantasticfiction.com, wikipedia.com, and sherrilynkenyon.com, and what a mess! All 3 lists are different, and they can't even agree on which one is the very first novel. Evidently there are a lot of books about Dark-Hunters that are outside of the main reading sequence. Does anyone have a strong preference about which list to follow? My inclination is to go with the list on sherrilynkenyon.com, figuring that she should know about the reading order of her own books. Some of her books have "Dark-Hunters #N" in their subtitles, and some just have "Dark-Hunters". If I follow that, some Bookshare members will be confused. Why would some books have numbers and not others? Should I say "Dark-Hunter related" in the titles of books that are outside the main reading sequence? Is there some simple way to make this clear to everyone? > > In a quandary, Carrie > To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
