I want to ask a question regarding reading a whole series of books in order. one after the other.
I have previously read The Wheel Of Time, Malazan, ASOIAF, Michael Connelly, etc., the entire series, one book after another.
Do many readers do this?
I noticed after my re-read of Michael Connelly, that after 4 or 5 books, they were kind of blending all together.
I am the kind of reader, that once i have read a good book, i will often ruminate about it, and if i am reading a whole series back to back, i feel that i don't get a chance for a proper reflection on the book.
I have a few different series that I'm swapping between...if i am reading a whole series back to back, i feel that i don't get a chance for a proper reflection on the book.
...a bit like this. So, Michael Connelly book, then Bobiverse, then Reacher, then Thursday Murder Club, now back to Bosch.I will often intersperse heavy books with either lighter stuff
Yeah, thats what i get.I have a few different series that I'm swapping between...

What I am finding, I don't do well remembering names and what they did before, so I'm just reading 'The Narrows' which is the follow on from 'The Poet' and I can't really remember enough of what happened in the first book. Luckily my mum just finished 'The Poet' so I've been able to ask her who did what and bits have come back to me.
your opinion on it would help?The Goldfinch and Under the Dome.

Finally finished Earthsea: The first four books, by Ursula K LeGuin. A story about a boy who is sent to an institution to become a wizard and some of the adventures he has. Sounds familiar...
Conceived well before Potter though and a riveting read. Not much of a fantasy head so pleasantly surprised to find this very engaging. 9/10

Rather than start a new thread I thought I might get advice here.
Where do people look for new book recommendations, I currently just browse the Waterstones tables or similar in independent bookshops but it's a bit hit and miss for new authors so I'm always waiting until someone is well established.
Time was (20+ years ago) I regularly read SFX and would pick up recommendations in their book section. Are their any good book review magazines or websites people can recommend? I'm mostly interested in Sci-Fi and fantasy but not exclusively.
Any advice much appreciated.
