I can wait a year for an author to write a sequel and I’ll remember to look for it. Like Jeffo, I don’t like to read one book after another by the same author. It’s tiresome to have that same voice, almost like listening to the same song over and over. At first, you love the song, but if you play it incessantly, you’ll get tired of it rather quickly. The same is true for reading books by the same author.

I happily binge-watch certain TV shows, but for whatever reason, binge-reading just doesn’t work for me. As for me as a writer, I just can’t work that fast. I’m not going to be capable of churning out multiple titles in a year. Folks will just have to wait for me. (taking the positive view that I will be published)

I find a new series and read it as fast as I can… and then if there’s more than a couple of months before the next book, I put it aside and end up forgetting about it. When I see the next book (or books) later, I don’t bother picking them up — even best sellers.

My favorite series now is self-published and appearing like clockwork 4x a year. They are well edited and not shoddy in the least. I buy them — and read them — the day they come out.
