This week’s Booking Through Thursday asks:
“Series or Stand-alone?“
I prefer stand-alones to series, although I have enjoyed reading a series or two from time to time. The Harry Potter series for example. But I mostly favour stand-alones. I have read all of Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple books and almost all of her Hercule Poirot books but they can be read as stand-alones in my opinion so I don’t think they count as series.
I love those series where you can see the individual intallments as stand-alones! My BTT
Yeah me too. 🙂
A mix is good sometimes.

Yeah I guess so.
I need a little of both. Here’s my BTT
I personally prefer stand-alones.Most series fail to hold my attention. I just want them to be done already! 😉
I know what you mean about the Poirot-series. All of them have their own independent plot and you don’t have to read the next one! Thanks for sharing! 🙂

Your welcome! Yes while I love how Poirot, Marple and other characters associated with them grow over the course of the books I find that reading them as stand-alones do not hamper my enjoyment of them in any way. 🙂
