Serious talk...I just finished two books, each within a different series. And...I am deciding, that for now, to not read the series. Why? School starts in two weeks...and, after checking on Overdrive, I cannot borrow the next in one of the series. Plus, I am in the middle of reading Robert Galbraith's (aka JK Rowling!) C.B. Strike series. Thus...as in, yes!...I am getting that series "fix"!
At dinner the other evening when I was sharing that I was reading this Galbraith/Rowling series, another avid reader friend asked where I had learned about about this series. Hummmm....? I cannot remember for sure. Maybe the Internet?
I had four in the series...only one of which I had read. As time became available, I pulled them off the shelf and began the series again, only then to learn of book number five, which I now, of course, own! Of course. As seems to be typical Rowling format, each novel increases in length. Such a detailed writer she is.
I just love a good series, and I already have plans for my next dive into the depths of a character. Just in time for the beginning of fall and the Readers Imbibing Peril Reading Challenge (which after a quick perusal...not sure if this challenge continues), I plan to read the Odd Thomas series, some of which will be a re-read, as its been several years since I read the first ones.
Currently, I am, also, reading Sea Change for a book club and will need to read The Ninth Hour by Alice McDermont. Unless COVID changes our plans..again..., Alice McDermont will visit our area for a speaker series.
Thanks to series and a return to devoted reading time, I have now read 67+ books so far in 2021. Will I make 100? Maybe? I have met my goal of 52. Nice!
What are you reading good?
