So first off...for last weeks challenge, I did find a few new blogs that I made an extra effort to comment on all this week and will continue to work on my commenting skills in the future.....
This week's question comes from Christina who blogs at All About YA Books:
"If you find a book that looks interesting but is part of a series, do you always start with the first title?"
Usually, but I have been guilty of reading one in the middle and more so now that I blog, I cant tell you how many times Ive been offered a review book, accept it, start reading it...only to realize its part of a series...arrgh...Note to Self: Turn brain on before accepting book four in a series!!. I normally like to start at book one, so I have a feel and connection to the characters before jumping in.
Its also Friday Follow with Parajunkee
This weeks question:
What is your usual monthly book budget?

ReplyDeleteI can dive right into the middle of a book series if the series' story
ReplyDeletedoesn't run chronologically.
That is to say, if each novel in a series is a stand-alone story (like Lee
Child's Reacher novels) then I don't feel the need to start with book one.
On the other hand, a series of books (like Richard Hatch's Battlestar
Galactica novels) can't be read out of sequence since each new book builds
upon the story of the previous entry in the series.
Happy Book Blogger Hop Friday!
