This year I would like to re-visit with some past favorites but am making no promises! :)Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-80231978751988224032013-12-30T15:38:07.095-04:002013-12-30T15:38:07.095-04:00I love a series but can't read too many in a r...I love a series but can't read too many in a row they start to blend. I just finished a reread of all the Montgomery's and really enjoyed them. Some of your new reads are my absolute favorites - The Story Girl, The Blue Castle, Jane of Lantern Hill and Tangled Web especially. Also, I really enjoyed the change in perspectives from reading them as a child to reading them as an adult. So nice to meet a fellow Montgomery fan!Katherine Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126062556416434416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-34371188493218199052013-12-29T16:48:04.326-04:002013-12-29T16:48:04.326-04:00Love your idea for an LM Montgomery project!

Some of the books you haven't read yet are pretty bad (KILMENY OF THE ORCHARD), but all of my favorites are among the ones you haven't read yet -- Jane of Lantern Hill and The Blue Castle are my two favorite standalones, and I absolutely adore the Emily series. You are in for many treats!Jenny @ Reading the Endhttp://readingtheend.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-29938269437716743472013-12-29T13:56:06.708-04:002013-12-29T13:56:06.708-04:00Nope.

I never get tired of series, because I don't feel like I have to catch up with them...they are there waiting for me, and also why I don't like finishing series. "That's it?!? Aw, man, that SUCKS." However, by reading various series, even switching back and forth among series, I know I'll never run out of something to read...and I don't mind that.Bryan G.

Patricia Briggs for example and I downloaded all of Montgomery's books for 1$ or so. Which is the best to start with?Carolinehttp://beautyisasleepingcat.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-60349076798667914312013-12-29T07:41:36.053-04:002013-12-29T07:41:36.053-04:00I have about 10,000 series I need to catch up on/f...I have about 10,000 series I need to catch up on/finish.

I'll be awaiting your thoughts on so many of them. I love most of them -- there are a few duds, even for LMM, but we can't all be perfect ;)Melwykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885378201188978664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-11429407536281996582013-12-29T00:57:23.161-04:002013-12-29T00:57:23.161-04:00Yup--this is why I shy away from series!!!

Robin Hobb is a very good example for me too. I've read the three Assassin books and one of the Liveship Traders. I love them, I want to carry on with them, but when? I just started the LMcB books too. Read one, liked it, own Shards of Honour and will read it. *But* do I like the series enough to buy them all? Not only am I bad at starting new series but I'm bad at deciding whether or not to conctinue with them. So, yep... I *really* feel your pain.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-29093682027026295282013-12-28T17:54:39.971-04:002013-12-28T17:54:39.971-04:00Yes, I get tired of series.

I keep saying i'll stop starting them, but then a new one comes out, and it looks so good...<br /><br />I was very excited when my daughter told me the fantastic zombie book she's reading right now is a stand-alone.<br /><br />Last year (2012), I read through the entire Anne of Green Gables series - a reread - and loved it even more as an adult.

I hope to finish off her short stories next year. I'll have to see if I can find any journals, but, I know I don't own any of those yet. I also need to consider The Blythes Are Quoted, but, the library doesn't have it. <br /><br />I'm considering a couple of projects for 2014. One I've decided for sure is to reread Jane Austen!
