What is your approach to series?

[Valarya]

I cannot skip around from series to series. I'm the type of person who reads it straight through, back-to-back, even if it is a 12 book series.

I have a very vivid imagination and one of my favorite things about reading is being transported to another world. Once I'm in the world... I don't want to leave it; even when the story is finished I don't want to leave it. This is why I always give myself about a month between big series so I have some time to soak it in.

If I've been recommended a series or I know it's going to be good (an author I know), I buy the whole thing. If it's a new author I found and have only read some amazon reviews, I usually just buy the 1st book and see what happens. There has been a time or two where I never finished the 1st book and was glad I didn't buy the rest. You just never know!!
