Well, the last three years I have been working on my Masters so I have not had much time for reading. But when time does allow, I try to find a series with a lot of books in it. I have used Amazon, Goodreads, book order lists at the library, Library Journal, and Google to find books I want to read next.
The last three years, I made my way through the Anita Blake series, Ruth Galloway series, and Alvarez and Pescoli series. It has made it easier because I know the characters and I can pop into their world whenever I have a few minutes. I tend to finish a series before I find the next one. I also like to try other works by the same author.
One thing I am going to take time to do (sometime soon this semester) is use the Chelton's list to set me up a bookmark file on my desktop. It would be great to click on the drop down list and have those links ready to use.

Hi Shannon,
ReplyDeleteI noticed you mentioned you read the Anita Blake series. I like vampires. Can you tell me if the books are a quick read and if they are just entertaining? Is reading them like running away to another place? I would just like your take on them :). I also, like to read all the books by the same authors, becasue I know their style and it is a sure thing.
Hi Shannon,
ReplyDeleteI understand the not having time to read while in graduate school. I struggle with the same problem. Luckily for me I have a long commute to work everyday so I am able to get to listen to some of the books that I want to read. I like to bounce around from series to series a bit more so that I can take a break from an author and get some different writing styles.
I have read all of them, but I do enjoy the earlier ones better. Entertaining reads! The later ones delve more into her love life relationships instead of the hunting / necromancy part. I will keep reading because I am invested!
