Book Series and Sequels
I found a great link to find lists of book series or books by a certain author. Do you want to know if you've read all the Magic Tree House books? or How many Amber Brown books there are? I was curious myself to see the list of books by Wendelin Van Draanen (Shredderman and Sammy Keys). Here is a link to a database on the Mid-Continent Public Library's web site just for series and sequels.
