Around the Year in 52 Books discussion

- What are you reading this week?
The iron king by Julie Kagawa

- Are you a fan of series? (in general)
Typically yes because you can have more character development over time but I'm not always in the mood.

- Do you plan on reading the rest of the series in 2016?
Yes. I really enjoyed The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa and it sounds like this series might be even better.

I am reading The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
I am 200 pages in and really enjoying this book.
I like series because you have more time to get to know the characters and see where the author takes them.
I will definitely continue this series. My niece and I went to a book signing for The Raven King and it was a blast meeting the author so we are both continuing.

What are you reading this week?
The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie.

Are you a fan of series? (in general)
Yes and no. I prefer stand-alone novels in general, but I do love a good series - like Harry Potter. I chose this series in particular to start for this challenge as it's very loosely a series, and I won't feel compelled to read more if I don't want to.

Do you plan on reading the rest of the series in 2016?
Absolutely not. I think there are about 39 books in the Hercule Poirot series! :O

What are you reading this week? Peaches by Jodi Lynn Anderson

Are you a fan of series? (in general) I'm not sure. I know I read a lot of series, but I very rarely finish them and I hate having to wait for the next one to come out.

Do you plan on reading the rest of the series in 2016? I don't think so. I liked this book, but I'm not super invested in it.

- What are you reading this week? I listened I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou.

- Are you a fan of series? (in general) - Absolutely!

- Do you plan on reading the rest of the series in 2016? Maybe - if I have access to it. It was wonderful to hear this book read by Maya Angelou herself as it is about her life as a young child/teen. It was so beautifully spoken and written.

- What are you reading this week? The Eyre Affair

- Are you a fan of series? (in general)
I am. I get really into characters and am sad to say good-bye at the end of a book so a series helps!

- Do you plan on reading the rest of the series in 2016?
It's not in my schedule, but who knows!

I don't know if I will be reading the rest of this series this year, there are so many books on my wishlist.

What did you read?
The Unquiet Bones by Melvin R. Starr

Are you a fan of series? (in general)
Yes.

Do you plan on reading the rest of the series in 2016?
Yes, but I'm not sure I'll finish in 2016.

By C.S. Lewis.
I know that Harper Collins visited the entire series and marked this book as the second one, but when I picked up this book I didn't know it had anything to the with The Chronicles of Narnia (I'm that lost) . Anyway , loved it and now I'm reading the series to how it was published. So this is technically the first one.

This will always be the first book to me! I think the series is much better in written order than in chronological order.

- What are you reading this week? Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder by Joanne Fluke
- Are you a fan of series? (in general) I like series.
- Do you plan on reading the rest of the series in 2016? Maybe

This week I read The Kiss of Deception by Mary E Pearson. I typically favor series over standalones because I like books about deep characters who undergo stellar character development and large, enriching worlds which are often found more in series. I do plan on reading the rest of this series in 2016 because the final book comes out at the end of August.

What are you reading this week?
Cocaine Blues by Kerry Greenwood

Are you a fan of series? (in general)
Yes I sure am. The majority the books I read are part of a series. I love the way that you get to see more of your favorite characters as the books go on.

Do you plan on reading the rest of the series in 2016?
I sure plan to try! I already looked up the rest of the series and my library carries all the books!!

Sarah - have you watched the TV series? My mom is hooked on it!

What are you reading this week?
Witch Song

Are you a fan of series? (in general)
Yes! I love series and have read several and am working on several as well, this series is a new one to add to me list of series i'm reading.

Do you plan on reading the rest of the series in 2016?
Well the next couple weeks are books in this series, so yes I am going to try to finish this series this year.

- What are you reading this week?
I will be reading A Study in Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle which was the first time Sherlock Holmes was introduced to the world.

- Are you a fan of series? (in general)
Yes and no. Sometimes they are disappointing when the first book is fantastic and then the sequel is a bit meh. But then with other series (e.g. Harry Potter) the whole point is that the stories build up over time. When I find a series I like, I have to stop myself from binge reading the whole lot.

- Do you plan on reading the rest of the series in 2016?
Not in 2016 - but over time I think I probably will. It may just take me a while!

A: Yes! I like to read series but I have almost 15 series to finish LOL my local bookclub is reading series this year, so I started a lot of series and didn't finish them D: (I don't have time to, I pretend to finish Divergent and The Selection)

What are you reading this week?
The Bourne Identity

Are you a fan of series? (in general)
Only if my library has all of the books. I like fantasy and science fiction and libraries tend to only have the 2nd and 3rd books.

Do you plan on reading the rest of the series in 2016?
I am not sure, it depends on if I like the first one or not.

Hope Harbor by Irene Hannon
Are you a fan of series? (in general)
Yes, I like reading series and getting to know and stay with favorite characters.
Do you plan on reading the rest of the series in 2016?
Probably not. This was a good read, but not great and I'm not tempted to add the rest to my TBR.

What are you reading this week?


Are you a fan of series? (in general)

Yes, though i get nervous when a series is very long (more than 6 books) especially when i'm very invested. There is nothing worse than a series abruptly ending with plot still outstanding.

Do you plan on reading the rest of the series in 2016?
I may read the next couple but these books are huge and i have other books i also want to read. It will probably take me into 2017 to finish them all.

- What are you reading this week?
Graceling - Kristin Cashore
- Are you a fan of series? (in general)
Yes, very much! Most of my favourite books are parts of series. This may stem from my love of epic fantasy and worldbuilding... usually that sort of thing has to take place over multiple books.
- Do you plan on reading the rest of the series in 2016?
At this point probably not since there are SO MANY more books I need to read in the next 2 months, and I'll be going overseas giving me even less time :(

What are you reading this week?
Release Me
- Are you a fan of series? (in general)
It depends, some stories are better as one book but othets need to have more books to fully explore the characters and the story.
- Do you plan on reading the rest of the series in 2016?
I am a bit late on this post and read the trilogy already.
