An app to track book series

This isn't "what we're reading" but I didn't really know where to put this.
I'm looking for some kind of app to help me track book series.
I've got a bit of a problem in that I buy too many books and have massive piles of "to be read" books sitting around. I read a lot of different genres but I really enjoy nordic noir and also the Merrily Watkins series.
The problem is I trawl through second hand book websites (I'm in another country so there are fewer second hand books in English available) and buy books from the different series when I see them. This means I have a lot of books hanging around which can't be read yet because I need to collect an earlier book in the series.

Is there any kind of app or website where you can enter the name of the series - eg. Ragnar Jonasson Dark Iceland and it will produce a list of the books in order which you can then tick off when you have purchased them and perhaps even read them!

Or any other way of getting this "situation" under control!

Try www.fantasticfiction.com - search by author. This is generally what libraries use.

I see someone has already suggested it but I use Fantastic Fiction. I follow my favourite Authors on there and it also updates when new books are coming out too.

Sometimes I print off the pages if there are lots of books to collect or I screen shot it and keep them on my book folder in my gallery. I then edit them to cross out what I've got and delete the previous photo!

I probably spend way too much time on my book hobby!
