Book Series That Rarely Appear on Lists of Book Series

If you're addicted to book series but are sick of wizards, vampires, and dystopias, here are some more literary ways to get your fix. I have nothing against wizards, vampires, or dystopias, of course (don't love transphobia), I just believe that depicting the real world can be just as difficult, creative, and rewarding as "world-building." And I have nothing against Stieg Larsson (R.I.P.) or Suzanne Collins, I liked their original trilogies very much. So did several million other people. (And no, I haven't read all of these books.)
