Following Friday (5)
Q. Do you have a favorite series that you read over and over again? Tell us a bit about it and why you keep on revisiting it?
Do I have to pick just one? There are a handful of series that merit rereading in my mind.
1) The early books in J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series. They aren't the most well written things in the world, and God knows they have their issues. But they contain some kind of addictive, crack like quality that has me rereading over and over. My favorite is Lover Awakened, which is a tortured hero redemption story. I think it's the angst that I like the most.
2)Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark books. They have a lot of cool mythology, but they don't take themselves too seriously. The characters are funny and romantic, but can also kick ass.
3) Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series. This is mainly because they are so long and detailed, I miss things the first time around. Each time through is kind of like reading a new book. I love the characters, the use of history, and the sheer epicness of the series as a whole.
So there. I had to work really hard to narrow it down to three. Turns out I reread a lot!
New followers (and old ones too), there's still time to enter the 100 followers giveaway!
I've also saw J.R. Wards Black Dagger Brotherhood series on someone else bloghop! It seems like a popular choice ♥ I haven't had the chance to read Immortals After Dark series but the title sounds cool & I especially have to read it because it contains mythology! The Outlanders series I've heard such great things about but haven't read the first book yet ♥ Thanks for the visit & the follow!

ReplyDeleteOh yes. the Outlander series is pretty good :)
Hello, thank you for stopping by my blog and following! I haven't read any of the series you list :( I love how you're being critical towards Black Dagger. One of the series on my list is also far from perfect, but I still keep coming back :)
ReplyDeleteIvana, I think it's cool to love things that are flawed! And it's important to admit to seeing the flaws. Sometimes you love something so much, you slap a perfect rating on it even though it doesn't deserve it. So yeah, I try to stay critical even when a book knocks my socks off.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday! Thanks for stopping by my blog, I've followed you back :)
ReplyDeleteThey are all awesome choices. I didn't choose them though. LOL. It is amazing how many series there are to choose from.
