How to Read All of Sherryl Woods' 'Sweet Magnolias' Books in Order - GoodHousekeeping.com

This may be news to Sweet Magnolias fans, but Serenity doesn't start or end with Maddie, Helen, and Dana Sue. Although the hit Netflix show focuses on the friendship between these three women, there's much more to Sherryl Woods' story about this sweet southern town. In fact, the first season of Netflix's Sweet Magnolias is loosely based off the first three books in Woods' series. "They pulled little threads from each of their stories and wove them into this first season and introduced things that happen over the course of the books," Woods told People. Some pivotal moments in the show, including the car accident in the season finale, were written specifically for TV.

Still, if you're eager to learn more about what's ahead in Serenity — if Netflix renews the show for another season, of course — then read the Sweet Magnolias books by Sherryl Woods . The 11-book series highlights many new characters, love interests, and small town drama that we haven't seen on the show yet, but they still exude a familiar warm and fuzzy feeling. Plus, it's a great way to keep busy while you wait for season 2's return.

So, grab a margarita and work your way down this list to read all of the Sweet Magnolias books in order.
