This week's question is: When reading a series, do you re-read the previous books before reading the newly released book? (submitted by Angelica @ Paperback Princess)
MY ANSWER: I used to. A long, long, long time ago when I didn't have enough to read. I can't remember those days too well. Lol. Nowadays I don't have time for rereading, so I've taken to taking extremely detailed notes. Granted I still have a pile of series that I don't have notes for that remain unfinished that I will likely be in trouble with when the time comes to pick up the next installment, but I can sometimes find a series recap on those too! Luckily for most I've only read book 1, so finding the recap shouldn't be too bad.
Occasionally I will binge read a series too and oh that's a wonderful feeling! It's such a breeze and I realize I need to do this more often! Lol.
It's certainly hard to make the time to reread!! Great answer!
ReplyDeleteI used to reread my favorites only, now I do not even have time for those, not speaking about some books in the series. For me the plot summary is usually enough to continue with the series.
ReplyDeleteLike you, I used to. For instance, I used to reread all the Harry Potter books up to the new one that was coming out. I did the same for the movies. These days, I have too much to read, and rarely get to reread things. Fun post!
ReplyDeleteWhat sort of notes do you take? It sounds like a good system to avoid re-reading, I've had to ask my partner to read a plot summary to me so I can avoid spoilers upon occasion when I have left too long between picking a book back up.
ReplyDeleteI, too, take notes while reading. This helps immensely when I come across a new book in a series.
ReplyDeleteI love binge reading.
