Today's Question:
Have you ever broken up with a series? If so, which one and why?
Ok this may offend some people (ha!) but I broke up with the Harry Potter series when I realized it was basically formula and they were all pretty much the same.....Whoa! Put down the swords! Maybe it was my age, OK? I was an adult when they came out. I know for a fact that, had I been in middle or high school, I would have devoured them. So maybe that was it....
And, to be honest, I am not sure if I will keep with the Diviners series, either... The first one had some issues...so we will just have to see what happens....
Don't feel bad; I broke up with the Chronicles of Narnia -- the HP of their day :)

Harry Potter?! Oh no! I love that series...but, to each their own! I couldn't stand the Twilight series, or the Shiver series. Neither worked for me at all haha

Haha. Harry isn't for everyone! I know that not everyone liked it. I was in 6th grade when I started it, so I guess I was just at the right age since I was pretty close to Harry's age! Got to grow up with him pretty closely too in age range!
ReplyDeleteI know I've heard of the Diviners series, I just can't picture it right now. Although I know I haven't read it!

Don't ever let anyone make you feel guilty for the books you love (or hate)! I personally loved the HP series. I was an adult when I read them but I try never to read YA books from an adult perspective.
