Now I feel like I HAVE to read Books 2 and 3.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13655298574868899841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12565507.post-34550575866131702202012-06-04T21:48:09.809-04:002012-06-04T21:48:09.809-04:00I'm not that way but I don't find it crazy...I'm not that way but I don't find it crazy that you are. There have been several series, or series of series (like Karen Kingsbury's Baxter family), that I wearied of before they ended, and I just couldn't force myself to continue. And I still haven't read The Glorious Appearing (Left Behind) but I know how it ends.

For me series' that have a release dates that are out of "order" on the time line are a nightmare!<br /><br />And I am both glad you didn't post the series, and dying to know what it was! ;) I'm a huge sci-fi/fantasy gal, although I think stronger on the fantasy than the sci-fi, and if they're funny then I'm really delighted.<br /><br />This does beg the question, of course... on who your favourite authors are! :)Chrysalishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987538360359912475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12565507.post-38268410520002009342012-06-04T18:09:44.927-04:002012-06-04T18:09:44.927-04:00Hi Tracie,
I don't think you are odd or crazy...Hi Tracie,<br /><br />I don't think you are odd or crazy for that. I had trouble not finishing a series, even when I didn't like it anymore. But I can now leave a series when it is not good enough, but that took me a lot of work. I finally convinced myself that the one thing that I owe loyalty to is myself and my own enjoyment. <br /><br />I did read hundreds of books in the Star Trek series. I started out as a teenager when there were less than ten books out there. But I stopped about five years ago. Now for fun I mostly read mysteries, vampires, and science fiction/fantasy.<br /><br />I don't think that I would commit to 200 books either. I never would have. <br /><br />Good and healing thoughts to you.<br /><br />KateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12565507.post-54429473247692774502012-06-04T15:46:56.167-04:002012-06-04T15:46:56.167-04:00I still need to finish all of Anne Rice's vamp...I still need to finish all of Anne Rice's vampire books. I have missed a few. Also, Laurel K. Hamilton's Anita Blake books. I haven't started a mew series in forever. Shit, I also meed to make sure I got all of Tom Clancy's books with Jack Ryan and crew. This is why I don't read series. I feel so incomplete without knowing I'm done.Cindy Lou Whohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10369628893088728744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12565507.post-49294802865475582372012-06-04T15:46:18.880-04:002012-06-04T15:46:18.880-04:00LOL, that's hilarious.

I can't imagine starting a series that I know has 200 books. I'd say you were very wise to pass it up.<br /><br />Stopping by from SITS.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09083941215123554455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12565507.post-12905692376973587542012-06-04T10:44:21.415-04:002012-06-04T10:44:21.415-04:00I feel the same way.

I'm taking a bible study right now, and our teacher keeps telling us to read certain passages, and now I feel like it's my mission to read the Bible from start to finish. I'm going to wait and do it at the beach this summer. The Bible is totally a summer read, right?Sandrahttp://www.absolutelynarcissism.conoreply@blogger.com
