Or, even better, how about series that are more like companion novels where each book <i>could</i> stand alone? :-)<br /><br />Nicole @ <a href="http://feedyourfictionaddiction.com" rel="nofollow">Feed Your Fiction Addiction</a>Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637114079800138680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5625112725976763704.post-61325639209156355172017-11-14T11:12:37.171-06:002017-11-14T11:12:37.171-06:00Well, my blog is dedicated to book series so I gue...Well, my blog is dedicated to book series so I guess there's my answer :P<br />But I do enjoy standalone novels. There are certain stories/topics that can only be handled in a single book and I appreciate that.

So I think deep down I prefer series, but I draw the line at four books damn it!Amber Elisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00671652212967695538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5625112725976763704.post-11057525069180873532017-11-13T20:11:04.381-06:002017-11-13T20:11:04.381-06:00Oh!

But I'm a total sucker for great series when they are done well!!Erica Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14668175232146054472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5625112725976763704.post-81997686319708256042017-11-13T18:44:28.624-06:002017-11-13T18:44:28.624-06:00I think a prefer series too than standalone.

Sometimes the author just really wants to extend the series that the plot kind of suffers already. But there are really great long series out there. :DAizel Macaldohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06745860105308884568noreply@blogger.com
