I’ve actually started reading again here recently. Maybe I should pick up A Is For Alibi for my next book.
I’ve discovered that it has to be a “good read” for me to stick with the book, though. Otherwise, I’ll set it down and just won’t get around to picking it back up again.
I’ve noticed that many authors have excellent ‘first’ books (first in a series). You get pulled into the character, but then the following sequals are disappointing.
That’s what made me set down my latest series- Sisterchicks by Robin Jones Gunn. The first one was hilarious but then #2 and 3 lost steam. Not sure what to try next. Maybe I’ll go back to non-fiction for a while.
Travis – good to hear that you’ve taken up pleaseure reading again. Don’t be too quick to give up on one that is just a little slow in the beginning though. Unless it’s just bad writing some of the slow starters can turn out to be pretty good. But then, some are just bad.
Paige – of course not all sequels are bad. You are probably right though in that if the series runs long enough it eventually runs out of steam
