MissNMTX Posted Saturday at 07:29 PM Report Posted Saturday at 07:29 PM Reader, I'm just curious, how do we feel about book series? I'm great with interconnected stand alone, duets, and even a trilogy as long as each book matters. But somewhere deep down inside of me I get agitated having to read book after book for just one story! Sometimes, all these series just annoy me. Especially, when I've read several that could be much shorter. 2
PigtailPrincess Posted Saturday at 07:33 PM Report Posted Saturday at 07:33 PM Ok love this question because we are all soooo different. I am almost exscluviely a series reader, the one I am on now is 6 books and like 3000 pages. Personally if the story is done well (I read alot of fantasy with world building and such) I will enjoy keeping on reading. I like a largely over arching plot and to me a book or even three isnt always enough. That being said I have read books where I just wanted it over and the occasionall stand alone or duet is a nice pallet cleanser 2
Juju Posted Saturday at 07:40 PM Report Posted Saturday at 07:40 PM I also enjoy long series reads but i can get into a stand alone just was easily. The Trilogy I'm going to start ( when it comes in), has a branch off from those three. Soooooo, I'm not sure yet if the first three are like a prequel or what. So I'm hoping once I've read the three, if i decide i don't want to go on, they are written so i can stop there if i want too. I hope this made sense lol my brain is misfiring today ! Lol 1
frantastic Posted Saturday at 08:40 PM Report Posted Saturday at 08:40 PM I like stand alone books better generally but, some series I get hooked in. It's more a tone and subject matter thing for me. Some ideas come across better over multiple books I think. 1
Lil_K47 Posted yesterday at 03:35 AM Report Posted yesterday at 03:35 AM there are so many different series that I love! For me with standalone books, if it's a good story, I get sad when the story ends! Because I want more and I wanna know how the couple is doing afterward! So my favorite book series are ones that have little cameos by past characters so you get just a little peak into their continued happiness. And I also tend to like spinoff that start new series from characters in previous series that have them all kind of intertwining, if that makes sense. But with any standalone or series I really think it's all about how good the writing is. There are books that I've downloaded that I haven't made it past the first couple of chapters because they don't suck me in. 🤷🏻♀️
