I don't know if that has just happened or not. The two series that come to mind off the top of my head are the Dark series by Feehan and the Anita Blake by Hamilton. The Dark series doesn't have to be read in order but makes more sense if you do. In those she has different characters as the main but sometimes characters you have read about before show up. The Anita Blake series is more of here are your central characters, here is what is happening to them but it's gonna take a few books to get everything worked out. lol PhylisPhylishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08488241803600921862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29740901.post-63458676146308629572007-07-10T09:40:00.000-07:002007-07-10T09:40:00.000-07:00Hi Becka:For me it gives closure on all the charac...Hi Becka:<BR/><BR/>For me it gives closure on all the characters. Just one book and you are left hanging and wanting to know what is going to happen to the others. It also gives added interest in buying the other books. <BR/><BR/>There are some that have been 3 in a series and I have only found 2 of them. Of course, it was the first one of the series that I could not find.Kat Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17403674744943719495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29740901.post-45696151253774163092007-07-10T09:05:00.000-07:002007-07-10T09:05:00.000-07:00I love both types of series.I love a plotline that...I love both types of series.<BR/><BR/>I love a plotline that continues with new main characters, with scenes of old ones, furthering a world in which I've fallen in love with. (J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood or Jacqueline Frank's The Nightwalkers. A series where you can't just pick up right in the middle and not want to go back to previous books to get the full experience.<BR/><BR/>Then I also like the series where it doesn't matter where you start, each book is different and you don't *have* to go back and read previous books.<BR/><BR/>But I prefer books that are plot connected. It doesn't matter to me how many books are in the series, since I feel that each one is new and exciting.<BR/><BR/>(And I feel as if I made no sense whatsoever from my ramblings above. hehe)Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073249389691253590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29740901.post-29036729552365086412007-07-10T09:02:00.000-07:002007-07-10T09:02:00.000-07:00I don't know. I know that I love a good series, I ...I don't know. I know that I love a good series, I get curious to know what is going on in the lives of my secondary characters. Julie Miller got me hooked on series books. Kansas City's Finest, The Taylor clan, excellent books! (No need to send money Julie, just a few copies of your latest releases will suffice LOL)<BR/><BR/>As I'm currently working in a series of three books I have to say series books are great.<BR/><BR/>Some series books need to stand alone, I know that. I just happen to enjoy the one I'm working on that is a chronology of events. You can read them as srand alone, but they make more sense and flow easier when read in succession. <BR/><BR/>Nice topic Becka. Oh the pic of Aslan ROCKS!<BR/><BR/>Huggles,<BR/>DonicaDonica Coveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13703723469509570492noreply@blogger.com
