Booking Through Thursday is a weekly book meme about (mostly) books and reading, hosted by Booking Through Thursday.
Do you read books that are part of a series?
Yes. I love series because it lets me read more about the characters that I have come to love in the first book.
Do you collect all the books in the series before starting?
No. I have no patience to wait for an entire series to come out before starting a book. If I had waited for Harry Potter I would have had to wait for forever. I read the books as they come out or when I discover them. In face I actually prefer to start a series that has only a few books out because it makes catching up more doable.
What if the series is brand new, and the only book that’s been published so far is Book 1?
I would read the first book. I would rather read the first book and find out I don't like it than have to wait for the entire series to come out and find out then. Also I really don't have that type of patience. Another reason is because I usually only realize that it is a series after I read the first book. I don't mind having to wait for a sequel because I always have another book handy.
As subsequent books in the series are published, do you go back and re-read the preceding books?
No. The reason that I don't do this is because I have a really good memory when it comes to books. Also I have found that many authors will have convenient flashbacks to the important parts of the first book if it is important to the second one.
