After a while though (as with some of the urban fantasy and most likely other genre) after writing 20 or more books in a series or genre sometimes the books get a bit boring. Probably because we've read so many of their other books. <br /><br />I think it's a trip how one author can write two or three different series and have a different fan base for each one. To me it also shows a great talent for storytelling - being able to write so differently, change it up enough to reach many different audiences with a few series.Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00063358136590143066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414093212095906246.post-76579705119953233252011-09-19T09:12:36.299-05:002011-09-19T09:12:36.299-05:00Hilcia: Right, because there is always a more invi...Hilcia: Right, because there is always a more inviting book at that point.

Like you, I almost always like to know why that one particular book didn't work out for me. These days I don't seem to have to time to go back to them, though. <br /><br />RE: the McCarrick brothers by Cole. I enjoyed that series as a whole.

How exciting. <br /><br />Marg: It is so great to see how many other Nadia fans there are! <br /><br />Stella: I think you are an optimist on things like I am, to keep going with a book like that. Also, did you see above on the comments that Tez sez Armstrong may put out a Nadia #3 in ebook?

Of course I also just discovered them because I was a huge Women of the Otherworld fan and didn't have any more novels to read, but oh my! I fell fast and hard! It was completely different since here the setting is realistic and because ther is no supernatural element at all. I hope so much Kelley Armstrong will continue this series because there just arenb'T enough kickass stories about hitwomen (and want to read more about Jack too! ;-p lol)<br /><br />I'm usually like you with DNFR books: I tend to force myself and chug along until I can't take anymore or time has run out and I have to read something for a deadline review. I like to hold out hope it will get better. Sadly I realized that most often than not I'd have better stopped and not wasted so much time. But can'T wait to hear if this novel will redeem itself.<br /><br />I've also had Kresley Cole's other series on my TBR shelf but haven't gotten around to read it yet. Hope you'll like it! :-DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08595369872159009395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414093212095906246.post-67459339771435871882011-09-19T06:55:19.485-05:002011-09-19T06:55:19.485-05:00Well.
