Monday Memes

It's Monday! What are you reading?

Last week I read A place In This Life by Julie Rieman Duck(this one I just finished yesterday).   Also, I reviewed the movie In Time and posted my review of the YA book Paranormalcy by author Kiersten White.

This is my plan for the current week:

• Reading Revealing Eden by Victoria Foyt.
• Post my review for Secretariat.
• Write my review for A Place In This Life (available March 6 for blog tour)

Weekly meme at should be reading

Musing Mondays asks:
These are some of the series I enjoy:
The Sookie Stackhouse Series
The Mortal Instruments
The Twilight Saga (can't help it, I like it!)
The Hunger Games

Thinking of reading this series: Anita Blake     Dexter

Do you read books that are part of a series?  Of course I do!  Series are my favorite thing in the whole wide literary world.  Why?  Because you have a story full of characters, and those characters grow and develop with a new chapter of the title.  Sometimes, you read a book (the 1st of the series) and you find it weak or lacking and then when you give the opportunity to the 2nd book and everything is different.  In a second book probably you will find a writer who has more experience and who knows better his characters and his world.

Do you collect all the books in the series before starting?  I prefer to have at least the first two or three books, so I can read continuously, but I don't have to buy all of the books of a series to begin with my reading.


What if the series is brand new, and the only book that’s been published so far is Book one? That's a sad day when I find out the book is part of a series and I have to wait for the next one for a long time.


As subsequent books in the series are published, do you go back and re-read the preceding books? I don't go back to the previous books, that's why I prefer to have at least 2 or 3 books of the series.  I prefer this, but if the series is new and the cover calls to me, I know I will have to endure the sadness of months waiting for the book and later, endure the longest hours in wait of the postman with the desired Amazon package.
