But if it ends on a note that makes you want to read the next book right now to see where the plot goes then I like them. You'd also have to give probs to any author who can write and ending like that, because you'd imagine that it would be hard to write.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600042364862403288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911023372026881257.post-6872205137534937662013-05-10T16:30:56.474-07:002013-05-10T16:30:56.474-07:00I can read multiple books in a series in a row, bu...I can read multiple books in a series in a row, but, like you, I prefer to space them out.

But if the next book is a year away then I'm mad as hell. That's why I often wait until a series is nearly finished before I start to read it, I have no patience :)<br /><br /><a href="http://betweenthelinesisanendlessstory.blogspot.ie/" rel="nofollow">BookishTrish @ Between the Lines</a>Trish @ Between My Lineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08517849083417759188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911023372026881257.post-71334837498545095422013-05-05T15:42:23.875-07:002013-05-05T15:42:23.875-07:00I think it depends on which book your talking abou...I think it depends on which book your talking about. If the cliffhanger leaves off on a life or death situation, I usually get aggravated and end up throwing my book on the floor. But if it's a subtle cliffhanger that just urges you to get excited for the next installment, I love them. Cliffhangers make me speculate on what's going to happen next and make the series all the more interesting for me.<br /><br />Great topic post! :)<br />Daphne @ <a href="http://readinguntildawn.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Reading Until Dawn</a>Daphnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17725253354355731464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911023372026881257.post-73268531957634586582013-05-05T14:20:49.867-07:002013-05-05T14:20:49.867-07:00Ick, haaaate cliffhangers, haha.

It's fine if books in a series rely on earlier information to be coherent, but I like each book to have its own plot that is solved at the end and then the whole series can have larger plots that get built up over a couple books. If a new plot gets started just at the end of a book to make a cliffhanger, I'm not a happy camper ;-). This is probably because I don't like reading multiple books in a series in a row, I need to space them out, so cliffhangers fight my natural tendencies, hehe.Anya @ On Starships and Dragonwingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11966260114472122150noreply@blogger.com
