Keeping up with Alice

I am a 32 year old male fan from Texas! I first read your books (Alice and Shiloh) in the 7th grade. Quarantine has made me extremely nostalgic, I am going to reread the old Alice books and catch up ok the new ones over the years. Do you recommend I start from a specific order. I know that seems like a silly question, but should I start with the preludes or should I read from the order released by year?
Thanks for all the great memories over the years. Sending our love from Dallas!

I’m so glad you like those books so much.  The Alice series has quite a number of male fans.  I think you would enjoy them the most if you start with the prequels and read straight through, as the books were written.  (See the order on this website).  Alice gets older in every book, so you’ll want to follow her and her friends as things happen in their lives. In the very first book, for example–“Starting with Alice”–you’ll get a taste of the  relationship between Alice and her brother, and enjoy seeing Lester as a teenager.  You’ll also see Alice’s concern for her widowed dad.  Enjoy, enjoy!
