I listened to one of the Ali Walker books and liked it a lot but I don't know that I would go back to the beginning. That's the problem for me with series books, if I start mid-series I feel like I already know what happened before and I rarely go back.

It's been ages though since I last read one of her books. <br /><br />I haven't read anything by Gena Showlater, although I know the author's name. I love a good series, and with most of the series I follow, each book is a stand alone so it's not a big deal if I can't remember what happened in previous books, not completely anyway. It's harder for me to remember when I spread out the reading of a series with years in between.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-34382860577756270052015-02-23T15:49:06.127-08:002015-02-23T15:49:06.127-08:00Looks like you really enjoyed J.A.

I think it's a mix of book blogging because of the review requests I had no time to commit to series books anymore and of my attention span having shortened over the years. I am often tempted to continue reading a PR series I used to love, Gena Showlater's books.

What I remember about it was the whole blogging thing. I hadn't heard much about blogs at that time. It was intriguing. And I think I agree that that there might have been a little too much going on in the book. Guess she was setting the stage for the series though. It's on book # what now?
