Question of the Day

Questions and Answers About Book Blogging

I recently started a new series of posts on my Twitter asking a question of the day. The idea behind it is to get chatting more about book blogging and everything involved with being a book blogger. 

I'll be showcasing answers to the questions in a series of blog posts here on www.JoLinsdell.com so we can develop the conversation even more and go into more detail.

Pet Peeves About Book Series

When it comes to book series there's a few things that annoy me. Number one would have to be when they change the book covers mid-series. Even more so if I loved the original design but don't particularly like the new one.

I also hate it if I'm building a collection of books in a series and then get one in the wrong trim size. It just looks so wrong on my bookshelves. 

I also feel that all books in the series should have a "previously..." summary recap at the start in case it's been a while between books and you've forgotten what happened.

What the Book Blogging Community had to say:

The cover designs getting changed part way through the series!

@nsfordwriter

They're getting increasingly longer and I wish they wouldn't.

@pageturner_92

I hate when they come out in different trim sizes and look weird on the shelf.

@AncaAntoci

When they change the branding and cover art midway through the series so your books don't match.

@AndreaTromans1

The magic from the 1st two books sometimes Peters out

@aragorn1959

Cover change mid-series. Not always easy to know/remember what number the book is in a series if not numbered. I need to easily know if a book is the third, fifth, or eighth in a series without checking online. Series ending incomplete.  

@dept42

The cover style change really winds me up, as does the lack of numbers on the spine. Just tell me which one it is!

@Bookmadjo

That they don’t always make sense if you read them out of sequence.
