[Dustin]

I'm pretty sure that they need to be read in order.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Ok thanks Dustin, it is always nice to know! And wow there are even more to that series!

[Kathryn]

Janie, I'm with you. I wish so many books weren't parts of a series. I'm glad I have an iPhone so when I go book shopping, I can look up a book and see if it is a part of a series or not. I'm more inclined these days to put a book down if it is. Trilogies I don't mind, but I like to have a series complete before I start it.

Janie, I'm so excited about our book trip next week! :)

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

I agree Kathryn about not buying as many books if they are a part of a series, but these 2 both came of the sales rack and were just a $1 so I picked them up. I am just glad that I have GR and good friends to let me know. Then generally I will look for the first one of the series and read it before I move onto buying the rest of them. That way I don't waste the money buying them all and not liking them.

OMG Kathryn I am super excited myself! I am so glad we finally just chose a day to do it.

[Rachel]

I wish there weren't so many series as well but in some genres- especially mystery/thriller which is my favorite- it's almost impossible to find a stand alone

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Mystery/suspense is one of my faves too. I like Lisa Jackson's series because most of hers can be read as stand alones, same with Sharon Sala's I believe.

[Cassie]

It's frustrating with all the series!!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

I think we can all agree with that Cassie!

[Cassie]

Especially when there's 30 or more and you don't know!

Janie have you read Ready to Die? I was wondering if this could be read as a standalone or if the series should be read in order.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Rachel I just started to get the 'to die' books. As of right now I have Left, Chosen, Born and Afraid. I still need Ready. So I do in fact have the first 4 of the series but I have not read any of them yet. I wanted to get them read this year, but we will see about that. It does seem that it is important to read these in order though, but I am not 100% on that.

[Rachel]

Thanks for the info Janie!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

No problem Rachel. :)

[Dustin]

I agree with everyone, there are far too many series out there. It's become a cliche, IMO!

[Kathryn]

I bought Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book for 25 cents today.

[Rachel]

awesome deal Kathryn! I keep going back and forth as to which gaiman book to try first-I've heard good things about that one.

[Dustin]

Sweet deal! I'd love to own The Graveyard Book!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Geez I want The Graveyard Book too. LOL

[Veronica]

I just purchased 30 Days of Night the novel. This may be one of my Halloween reads. I keep saying I will purchase Joyland, but have not done so as of yet. I need to really purchase this book.

[Kathryn]

Veronica, I forgot I had 30 Days of Night! Halloween!!!!

[Alondra]

30 days of Night is pretty good. Nothing like vicious vamps!

Both of you need to find deals on Rot and Ruin, and read the series. Very good for a zombie series.

I may do a quick reread of 'Salem's Lot; which always, always; creeps me out! When they take the 'crate' into the Marsten House basement ....oohhh, *shudders*

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Yay for Halloween!!!

I keep forgetting about the Rot and Ruin series. I have Salem's Lot also. I may read this in October also

Alondra I plan on getting the last 2 books of the Rot and Ruin series this week maybe. I loved the first book, it was so good.

Today I bought A Clash of Kings and A Feast for Crows for $3 each at the local op shop :)

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Yay Kimberly, I look forward to the Hunger Games series. I have the first one just need the other 2, maybe this week.

Michelle what a nice price for those. I hope you can enjoy them like so many have already. I just could not do it. So not my style to read, but I gave it a shot.

WOW, that is an amazing deal, Michelle! Do you have all 5 books now?

No Dustin, just those and A Game of Thrones. It'll take me a while to read the first two so I'll keep an eye out for the others in the meantime :)

Did you finish AGoT Janie or did you decide you'd had enough?

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Michelle I abandoned the book, just not my thing. I hope that you can enjoy it. I am the odd one out I think not liking it. LOL So many people love this series, and he is a good author, just not for me.

[Shell]

Fair enough Janie! I'm curious to find out how I'll go!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Well if you like fantasy you should be ok!

[Shell]

I love fantasy so fingers crossed!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

That's Awesome Michelle! I am sure you won't have any problems!

Hi Veronica! I was thinking about Joyland - let me know how it is?

[Kathryn]

Lisa, I know you were asking Veronica, but I read Joyland in June. I really enjoyed it! It's a nice coming of age tale.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

<------Enjoyed Joyland muchly!
