Question of the Day
Questions and Answers About Book Blogging
Disclosure: The FTC Disclosure Provision is a law that requires influencers to disclose when they are being paid to promote a product or service. So please know that if I'm not making money through affiliate links/sponsored content on the post you're currently reading, it's an oversight on my part and will be corrected soon. Read the full disclosure about all the legal stuff here.
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 magic from the 1st two books sometimes Peters out
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.
The cover style change really winds me up, as does the lack of numbers on the spine. Just tell me which one it is!

My pet hate with series is when the authors don't bother to finish them Yes, George Martin and Patrick Rothfuss, I'm looking at you but also several other authors whose books I bought and then never continued the series
ReplyDeleteThat is annoying especially if the ending leaves cliffhangers or unanswered questions.
DeleteThey are published so far apart I forget the details
ReplyDeleteSo true! When I read a series I like to read them all one after the other (I'm the same with binge-watching TV series). If too long passes between books I forget bits. That's why I think all series books should come with a "previously...." section at the beginning to recap the important parts of the previous book(s).
