Do you always read the next in a series or read something in between?
Next in a series for me
What if you don’t own the sequels yet?
@SaraBeth I’m a big nut and tend to buy the whole series at once if I can ?
I am afraid of not enjoying, so I buy the first and then see.
Depends on my mood.
It depends. I normally do however I’m doing the Shadowhunter Chronicles read along so I have to wait and it hasn’t been as bad as I was expecting lol. I tend to get obsessive if I’m reading a series so maybe it’s a good thing to have a rest in between
I break it up. Otherwise I get burnt out.
Plus, that way I always have a fall back.
I think it depends on how good the series is. I inhaled LOTR and The Belgariad, for example. With others I sometimes felt the need to take a break and read something else e.g. Bernard Cornwell’s Sharpe series
I read something in between
Depends on how I feel.
depends on how I feel. If I go on the latest series yes I have just gone from book 5 to 6 but during the rest of the series have read other books between them
I read three books between each Outlander. They are just so long and I feel like I am missing so many other good reads . They are taking me forever this way but , longer to enjoy . I just finished number six.
I’ve got them down to read one a month as they’re so intense and I’ve only read book 1. I didn’t even feel this way about Game of Thrones!
@Tika , they are super intense . I need something else between. I do start to miss them though after about three and go back .
Depend if I’m interested enough to start right away if it’s available. Or if I’m so-so and not sure I’ll read something else and if my mind comes back to it I’ll continue.
I take a break
Usually I take a break. I usually do not buy all series at once so if I like the 1st book I will order the next one, and it takes time for if to arrive by mail so I read other books in between.
Depends… I fell in love with the Acotar series and read them cover to cover… Waiting on the new installment so depends on if the books are all out or not
Depends on the series
It depends on my mood.
i read the next one
I seem to have learned that So far, I can’t read more than 3 consecutive books in a series. I need to switch after that & then go back to it.
Depends on the series
Depends
Usually, something in between.
Depends, preferably yes, but if I can’t get hold of the next one, I’ll read something else.
Read something in between
It depends but usually I read something in between.
Next in the series
Depends on how much I liked the book.
3-4 in a series couple inbetween then back to series if it is a long one
Next because even if they are entirely separate stories there will probably be continuing sub-plots to keep track of.
I break them up.
I read a stand alone between the shadowhunter books lol cause they were so long
Depends on how I’m feeling but usually continue the series.
Depends but usually I see what my fav authors are doing in between
I MUST read them in order! I hate missing the little details about the characters as the author develops them in time. Also, I love the anticipation of waiting for the next book in the series to come out.
Depends how into the series I am and how long the series is ! Sometimes I need a change
Depends on the length of the book.
Finish the series
I have to finish a series. If I read something in between I lose the feel and atmosphere of the series. A series is like one long story in multiple books for an easier read. By reading another book I feel I have to reread the previous books that I had read in a series because I feel I have to remember what happened in them before going to the next one.
Depends if it’s a good one i’ll continue if not something else and maybe than continue
Try to finish a series unless it’s forever long then break it up a bit. Unless it’s so good I can’t stop. lol that’s also why I won’t start a NEW series that I know isn’t finished yet. I cannot stand the waiting to know what happens, especially since I have a 2 second memory that’s about a week behind on a good day. lol
