Book Series

I love book series', I mostly read books by christian authors my favorite series is called the Zion Covenant series. Its about the Jews and the Nazi's and the war and stuff. They have won many awards I have read that they are very historically correct and are used in some colleges.

I like series because like you said, you get to know the characters better. You can have continuing storylines, in-jokes, etc. However, once I start a series, I have to read them all. With the Dune books and the Centennial series (John Jakes), it got tedious near the end. I only finished them because I started the series. Right now my current series are: The 1932 books by Eric Flint The Demon Hunter Books by Julie Kinner The Falco Series by Lindsey Davis (I want the next one darn it) The Gordianus the Finder series by Steven Saylor and various others.

The Alex Cross books are very good. I've read a few of them, but haven't been able to find some of the others to read them. I had never realized there was 10 until I thought I was done and found out-I wasn't. I like Janet Evanovich books. She has a book that has a sequel and then a series with 14 books(and 3 Holiday ones). I've read all but the 14th book-which is 'Fearless Fourteen.' I think it's a good series and my grandma got me hooked on those. I also like The Chronicles of Narnia and Harry Potter.

I like both but sometimes a character comes along that you want to know what happens to them and it's always exciting to see what new things are waiting for them. Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic series is one of those. I know that the last book might be the end of the series and it's a bit sad because you're saying goodbye to someone. But if another book comes along, I'll welcome everyone back with open arms. Marian Keyes also has a series of books but it's a bit different. Each book is focused on a sister (there are five of them) from the same family. Even though it's about a different sister, the other characters still make appearances and it's like they never left. Sometimes you even get updates on what the others are up to now. There's just one sister left who hasn't had her turn in the spotlight yet but I can't wait for that, whenever it may be. And of course, there's always Harry Potter. It was hard to say goodbye after spending so much time with Harry and the gang.

Try the 3 book series by Jasmine Cresswell, the books are Suspect, Missing, and Payback. They really are good. I am just finishing Payback and have enjoyed the story line and the characters very much. I think you would like this series.

I like both types, but it will all come down to the plot. If it's interesting enough to keep the series going, etc. Most of the time, it is, but sometimes I could see some that shouldn't be in a series in the first place. There are pros and cons with both types. And maybe the character or characters involved has to have something that draws readers in in order for the series to work also.

I love reading both series and stand alone books. My favorite series are Anne McCaffery's Dragon Riders of Pern and any of Mercedes Lackey's series or books. They are wonderful. And J.K's Harry Potter series is wonderful. I'll never touch Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series though. My partner read them, didn't buy them, and said they were ok but the last book was horrible. They were a series she would never buy.

I just like collecting books and of course read them. As of now, I'm busy reading novels..LOL They're just like series in a way, just in compact. LOL I'm reading Beach House right now after reading Miriam the Medium. When I read it, I feel that I'm really in the story, the details etc. I appreciate the writers and novelists who write novels that are so good because I can feel the characters.

I enjoyed reading book series, it was quite fun to collect them all particularly if all the series were very interesting and got a nice plot. However, I read more often books that aren't series. So, for me, I think I prefer more books that are on their own, only few series that I quite like. Some book series that I really like are; Harry Potter, some romance novels of Judith Mcnaught, Jude Deveraux, and Nora Roberts, etc. and the rest of my collection are not book series.

I love books that come in series. James Patterson's Alex Cross books are really good, as is the Women's Murder Club series. Jeffery Deaver's books about Lincoln Rhime are really good too. On the lighter side, you can't go wrong with the books by Janet Evanovich about Stephanie Plum. They'll have you laughing out loud - literally! My all time favourite series is probably the Anne of Green Gables books, or the Little House on the Prairie books. I can't wait to read those to my kids.

I'm not really picky. I'd prefer the single books only because it's cheaper. But I don't min buying the next book if it comes in a series. I'm also willing to buy the series if it's already available. But I've never had to because I have friends and cousins who love books so much that I just borrow something from them. I don't believe in books as an investment because I hardly read the same book twice, unless it's a textbook!

Some of the authors would have 2 types - those stories with the same characters, and some on their own. It doesn't matter to me - I usually look for books by my favourite authors like Lawrence Sanders, Ed McBain, Ruth Rendell, the Kellermans, Anne Perry and others. I haven't tried Dean Koontz - what genre are his books?

when i was a college student, i and my classmates spent so many time on series books, esp written by Jiyong and Gulong which most Chinese people will be deeply attracted. it's a good time for reading. thank you for your question reminding me the old but beautiful days.

I enjoy reading some books on their own, but my favorite reading is book series. My favorite series is also Stephanie Meyers Twilight series. I'm very disappointed however that it is over. But I am enjoying reading the draft of Midnight Sun. I also enjoy the Harry Potter series and the Work and the Glory series. I would love ideas on a series that will keep my attention. I don't do well with slow moving books.

i enjoy reading both book series and the latter.. my favorite book series is fearless by francine pascal.. i love the style the author use in writing, it suits my age and the characters are like talking to me.. and i love to read classic novels of jane austen, and some kinds of books..

it doesn't really matter to me I just love to read books. I like series books because I like to see a story expanded beyond just one book, but there are some that shouldn't be continued.

yes i've read most all Alex cross except the last one. i've read every last one of Harry Potter and in the 70's i read the Angelique series, then recollected and read all them again last year. many more also. hows that

I enjoy both series books and the solitary ones. But the beauty of the series books is that it keeps you involved for a longer time period and its like usually a family of admirers gets formed and they will discuss different theories for the upcoming parts and all that stuff that make the series books more enjoyable.

I love Dr Scarpetta series of Patrica Cromwell and there is Harry Potter and of course the Vampire Chronicles, Love it!

i like reading books. especially great poets and novels are i am very much like. its give something happiness in my mind. i like shakespeare.
