Friday Book Blogger Hop (Saturday, November 12, 2010)

Friday Book Blogger Hop

It's that time again!  Time for the Book Blogger Hop hosted by Jennifer over at Crazy for Books!

What is it?  Well, it's a way to for bloggers and readers to find each other.  You write a little post about the subject of the week and link it up.  THEN (and this is the important part), you hit a few of the other linked up blogs (take your time; you can spread it throughout the weekend), visit, comment, follow if you like what you see, and make new friends.

Each week, to encourage participation, we get to answer a different question.  This week's question is:


"If you find a book that looks interesting but is part of a series, do you always start with the first title?"


My answer:  Probably no.  I always TRY to start with the first book in a series, but there have been some that I read "out of order".  I'm kind of weird in a way; if I like the book I just read, I'll go back and buy the series, but if the book doesn't stand well on it's own, I feel kind of 'cheated', and will not spend my book-buying dollars on the other(s).

What about you?  Feel free to leave an answer or a link to your Book Blogger Hop post in your comment!

Hi Julie, Thanks for stopping by my blog!
I'm like you, I like to start with the first book in a series, but I have tried middle books and if I like it, I'll go back and buy the others!
Happy Reading!

If it's a series I think I'll want to finish and that was meant to be read in order, I always start with the first one! If I think I'll only read a book or two, or the order doesn't matter, then I'm not fussy.

I'm guilty of jumping into the middle or last book of one.. case in point the Vampire Diaries. Read the last one due to my obsession with DAMON!

Sad statement on a woman my age... but have you seen this DAMON!
