Hi people. 🙂
I’m back with some questions for you, and they’re all book related, here goes.
How many books is too many books in a book series, in your opinion?
My answer:
For me it simply really depends if I like the series. If I like it a lot, I really don’t mind if there are even 30 books in it or more, I’ll be always craving for more anyway. If I don’t like it, I’m not gonna care for it anyway, whether it’s a series, or not a series. If I feel kind of in the middle about some series, as in I like it but not love it and am not crazily involved in it, I guess more than 5 books in a series can be confusing, especially if it’s a family saga for example. You confuse people, or events, who is who, what happened when, that does happen to me sometimes anyway. Or if it’s a sort of series that you should rather read in order, I might be in trouble if I am not able to find all of the books in it in an accessible format, and then it gets even more confusing, so the smaller the series the bigger the chance I can actually find all of it somewhere, that’s most often the case.
What do you think? 🙂
Yeah, I have issues with series. I can never read them all! With several authors, I had to wait and wait for the third book of a trilogy to be released. When it was, I’d lost focus. With Harry Potter, I died somewhere halfway through book 7. [Shrug.] I made it so far, didn’t I? One time several years ago, I looked through my collection and counted series I hadn’t finished, and the number was alarming. I just don’t have the focus to read a book anymore, much less a series. Shorter is better!

Yeah, series requires some more commitment.
