The above series is the kind I like: each is a standalone, but characters weave in and out and grow and change, so it’s enjoyable to get to spend more time with them if you want.

Yes, I do read series and prefer them like this also. But then there are the ones where the characters don't grow/change (Hannah Swenson, I am looking at YOU ).

I read that way back when and do remember liking it. Hope you enjoy the rest!
