Invisapeeps 2.0

I think I have Hangman's Daughter - haven't started it yet, though.

I have only read like We Were the Mulvaneys and Blonde from Oates.

Oh I hated the sequel! Everyone was out of character and it was horrible.

 Confession:  I bought the sequel from a flea market when I was fourteen and had just read GWTW.  I still haven't worked up the courage to read it.  I am terrified of hating it because of it being by a different author and having my perceptions of the characters forever changed because of another author tampering with them.  Yet I still feel like I "should" read it.  So it has been sitting on my bookcase for seventeen years!

I got sucked back into the Hunger Games trilogy a week or so ago. I'm nearly done, but I have a plane trip this weekend so I need something new to read.

 True confession - I read these all the time! I reread books a lot (I am weird

 that way) and these three are some of my favorites to revisit.

 Rereading is NOT weird!  Good books are like best friends.  I like having them close by.  And I get very attached to the characters.  Rereading is a MUST for me.   If I don't want to reread it then I didn't like it that much.  :P

I just reread a series by Rob Thurman, they're urban fantasies and IMO well written ones.

Currently I am bookless *breaks into heartrending sobs* but that will change on Tuesday.

 The Leandros Brothers series?

 Yes, I did the whole thing because a new one was out and I was two behind (hope that makes sense!). I've really enjoyed the progression of the storyline, especially in the most recent book.

What bugs me is diving into a fun series, totally immersing myself until they're read. But then they're read! And I'm bookless again! Plus the long long wait until the next book.

If I ruled the world good authors would be literally chained to their desks and forced to perform. Rapidly. :D Bad authors could still take their time though!

I've probably thirty or so series waiting for another book. It is so frustrating! Worst is when an author dies, then I'm forever left in limbo. Yes I'm a selfish book junkie. I waited for years for Virginia Lanier (fun series about a woman raising trained bloodhounds in the rural South) before finding out she'd died.

I'm also a big rereader of books, no one in my family gets that at all but to me.. I get something new out of them with every read. It's like sliding into a room with old friends, you know their habits and stuff so it's comfortable.

The nicest thing about not being able to work is that I've a lot lot of reading time, the worst thing is that books cost money!

Yup Tazer. Have you read them?

And I think the author is female for some reason. Never checked but the writing feels female.

Is there a Half-Price Books near you, Froot? If I'm looking for something specific, I'll check out the main section, but I usually head for the clearance section. TONS of books for $1 or $2. There's also quite a bit of free things for the Kindle on Amazon. You can download the free PC app so you don't even need an e-reader.

I have memory issues, so I don't remember the story when I go back to reread most books. There's one series I just ate up it was fast paced and you were all "Are they going to be ok?! Are they going to live through this?! OMG!" Then when I went to reread it I was like "I know they survive/come out ok." I don't have the suspense anymore. Even after waiting a few years between readings. It's sad cause that inital read through I was like "This is the best series ever!" They even turned the series into a TV show, but boy did they butcher the lore in the show.

I do notice new details when I reread - its like the ploy is taken care of so I can catch the nuances. I need to restart Bring Up The Bodies. I am finding it harder to get into than Wolf Hall.
