The 'Quick' List of the Best and Most Popular Book Series of All Time

This list includes the best and most popular book series of all time. It's an eclectic mix that includes series from every genre in literature. There's no denying, however, that science fiction and fantasy novels come in series form more than other genres. I've ensured, however, that series from each genre and for each demographic of reader is included.
This is a shorter version of my 'Big List of the Best and Most Popular Book Series of All Time'. That list contains the individual books in each series, whereas this list just covers the entire series. If you'd like to complete that list, here's the link:
