The Green Valley Library series is Cathy Yardley’s contribution to the Green Valley Chronicles, a shared universe created by Penny Reid. The eleven books are set in the fictional small town of Green Valley, Tennessee, with the local library serving as a central hub. Titles like Crime and Periodicals, Prose Before Bros, and Shelf Awareness play on literary terms while telling romance stories about the library staff and community members.
The series benefits from the established Green Valley world, with characters crossing over between Yardley’s books and those of other authors in the shared universe. The library setting gives Yardley a natural home for the bookish, geeky characters she writes best.
