If I have to wait for a final book in the series, and I didn't hardcore love the last book, then I'm much less likely to ever finish the series. The sense of openness doesn't peeve me at all, I have too many books to be annoyed by not finishing one series :) <br /><br />Nice post!<br /><br />Rachel @ <a href="http://aperfectioncalledbooks.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">A Perfection Called Books</a>Rachel https://www.blogger.com/profile/06616299360211920794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5540391831818595631.post-47277061282914028182016-02-20T11:00:40.868-05:002016-02-20T11:00:40.868-05:00Same.

Waiting for new books to come out means I can start a series and then not read the next book for over a year. I do try to finish series that I start, though! It's usually if I don't like it that I'll stop.<br /><br /><a href="bookmarksandblogging.blogspot.co.uk" rel="nofollow">Bookmarks and Blogging</a>Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02068135640413650969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5540391831818595631.post-68092123648455431272016-02-20T03:19:50.215-05:002016-02-20T03:19:50.215-05:00Yep, I totally get what you mean!

Right now, I'm struggling through the Throne of Glass series - I'm on Heir of Fire, and idk it's just not captivating me any more, and I keep going to other books, then forgetting what happened in Heir of Fire and having to reread it again xD I'm aware of my habit now...and I'm so reluctant to start new series' just because of that!

And I might have read one or two more. Not sure. Anywho, it's an urban fantasy series about a Vampire Hunter and her supernatural goings-on (and relationships, of which there are many) by Laurell K Hamilton. I *know* I've read #24 because it was sent to me by the UK publishers a while back, and I reviewed it. :)Cee Arr @ Dora Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074909561530525221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5540391831818595631.post-41923264789263654282016-02-18T20:17:59.520-05:002016-02-18T20:17:59.520-05:00Yeah I totally get what you mean.

For me, a series is only as good as the last book I read. I give lots of series a go, but if the first book doesn't convince me to keep going, I'll treat it like a stand-alone.Nemo from Young Adult at Hearthttp://www.youngadultatheart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5540391831818595631.post-37924668206029791122016-02-18T19:39:58.038-05:002016-02-18T19:39:58.038-05:00Oh my gosh same.

I never reread previous books in a series. I just hope that I can trust my memory enough to be jogged when I start reading the next book.

It's almost impossible to finish series when I have to re-read the previous books each time a new one comes out. Also, I tend to find the first books of series really cheap, and then I don't want to spend the money to buy the next books in the series lol.
