I enjoy a good series, but when books are made into a series that goes on too long I tend to lose interest. Although it depends on the series.

I love TV series, I never watch shows that wrap a story up in an hour.
But when I read, I don't like them. Basically because when the new book comes out I don't remember the first book. If it is a series that grabs me then I read them one after another.

two of the series i read stop at 13 books - the Hollows series by Kim Harrison finished up not all that long ago (2015?), and another one is still going, but is almost finished - the Chicagoland Vampires by Chloe Neill. i think it's up to book 10 or 11 out of 13.

and the one i'm pretty sure i've been reading the longest - the Kinsey Milhone series by Sue Grafton - is set to wrap up in 2019. 'Y is for....' is set to come out this year, and then 'Z is for...' in 2019! =)

and Moonshadow - i'm with you there, that i don't always remember the details from the previous book.... but i still read a lot of series! =)

Lol. That's why I generally read old series'. All the books are already out. XD
Well...except for one new series I got into. But I didn't realize it was a new series when I bought the first book.

I read a series of books by Tony Hillerman, they were police procedurals with the main characters being Jim Chee (Navaho police)and Joe Leaphorn. Anyway there were 18 books and I read them all in a row! After I finished I was wondering when the author would write #19 and he died. TBH I was glad not to have to read another book about those two characters. Although I loved them.

i have plenty of new series i'm reading! =)

what's the plural of series... serieses?

Trystan: I had to look it up because I couldn't remember...the plural if series is series.
And my phone is about to die...so I'll be back for more book talk when I get home from work.

good question!
why are they some words that dont seem to have a plural
like 'mice' are they 'meese'?

See you soon Kad

hehe thanks Kaderin!

i kinda like serieses, myself. XD

How about meeses?

well 'mice' is already plural - 1 mouse, 2 or 12 mice.

'series' seems to be a singular word in my mind....

yeah you are right!
I actually meant moose, plural of moose is ? mooses?
I think my brain is draining.

yep... 1 moose, 12 moose. weird.

So finally found one pluraless word!

i'm sure there's others... English is a weird mutt language....

Yes it is a hard language to learn actually.
I'm leaving tomorrow morning I should go to sleep.
I hate that it will take me all day to get to Florida, I hate flying.
