Out of the 74 books in the article....I only read 9. Not a great number.My biggest problem is that I already have a lot of series started....and i can't keep up with the ones I have. I know I'm missing out of a lot of great books/series and should learn to quit series that go nowhere.
Thanks for posting this... def going to read it :)
I'm the same, Val. I'm always on the hunt for something new, but my priority is on those series I'm already reading. You're welcome, kittykat :)

That’s a good strategy to read a series only once it’s finished unless it’s a series that has 20-40 books published with no end in sight.
That whole 'no end I sight' is something I have little patience for TBH. As much as I like some characters/worlds, I like to know there is an end to their stories.
I'd rather keep reading "In Death" than know there is an end in sight!

but 50+ books and still going... no thanks! That's Corrie (UK soap opera Coronation Street that's been ongoing since 1960 👀) to me!
Nope, nothing like Corrie, thankfully, or I would've run away screaming.

I didn't mean content just the neverending part!
Did you stumble onto any odd genres? Have a favorite new-to-the-decade genre? What's your prediction for the coming decade? Any trends you see rising that you hope will/won't continue in the New Year?
