But I did love Lord of the Rings.<BR/><BR/>How true about single titles, Virginia.

Some authors can probably pull this off but many can't without having the quality of the writing suffer. Some of my favorite series are your Guardian series, Nalini Singh's Psy/Changeling series, Christine Feehan's Drake Cherie Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16767627787231269781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-34091422298527929652008-09-22T20:28:00.000-07:002008-09-22T20:28:00.000-07:00I love to read a good series of books.

Loved the Julia Quinn books and I think I still have some of NR's oldies - loved her 'Star' series too.<BR/><BR/>Right, Ellen. Those were all good multi-author series. Some new single author trilogies are also being printed in a row (every month) now. I like that. Too impatient to wait.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I know what you mean, crystalgb.

I love reading connected books because they allow you to revisit old characters who have become like friends. <BR/><BR/>I do wait with bated breath for the next book though because I can't wait to see what happens next and can be a bit impatient.

I was happy and sad when the final Harry Potter came out. With every book I read I never want it to end. I think that is why I love series so much. There are times that they can go to far though. One of the series I have read is now into its 15th book and still going.

It's a story about characters, about the lives and relationships of these two people.
