Turning the Spotlight Upon You
Today, gentle visitors, it is your turn to step beneath the spot light of inquiry that I might ask questions of you. Wait. Take this scarlet feather boa. Flip it around your shoulders. It imparts confidence and a certain air of elegance to the proceedings. Ah, yes. You look marvelous. That shade becomes you. May I offer you a drink? No? Forgive me. I wrongly assumed that everyone wanted to be plied with compliments and intoxicants before they'd part with the knowledge I seek.
<Clears throat>
Very well. What I want to know is this:
Series or stand alone books?
If I may be permitted a second question, may I ask why you prefer one to another? What about the other category - the one you did not prefer - do you dislike?
Oh dear. I apologize. That was three questions. I got so caught up in the role reversal. . .

I like both, but I have to confess in series I sometimes do get a bit tired of the ungoing relationship blah, where the heroine is unable to chose between two or more love interests.
ReplyDeleteI like both, but prefer series. Trilogies are fabulous because you know there will be a conclusion soon. I think most series should go about 5 books, unless there many fresh avenues to explore. Stand alones are a tough one. If I adore the characters and world building then I am devastated there won't be anymore. I think stand alone's are great for horror, adventure, mysteries... books with no romantic element. where the solving of a puzzle is involved. If there is romance or character relationship elements then I want more.
ReplyDeleteBooks. Love them.
ReplyDeleteOh, you wanted specifics. :) I love a good stand alone. Sometimes you don't have the time and emotional energy to get sucked into a series and you just want a good read for that plane trip/vacation/business trip what-have-you. But I adore a good series. For me the longer the better, and when I can have a series to sit and read straight through it is like having one really long book. Though the series that reach double digits tend to get worn out.
