It's Friday again, and tome for the Book Blogger Hop and the Follow Friday. First up, the Book Blogger Hop.
If you find a book that looks interesting but is part of a series, do you always start with the first title?
My answer: Yes, definitely. I don't like reading books out of order, as I get confused, and if I've read book 3 without reading book 1, I'll end up muddling myself up, and not enjoy reading them. I can't start in the middle of the series, it just feels wrong. I always start at the beginning of the series, and work my way through all the books, in order. Also, I don't like being spoiled, so if I read the second book first, I'll know what's coming after the first one before I read it, and where's the fun in that?
What is your usual monthly book budget?
My answer: Hmm... I'm not really sure. Depends what books I want, and how long it takes to read them, and stuff like that. Usually, I get through about 8 books a month, so however much those books cost. It varies every month, but I try not to spend more than about £40, if I can help it.

Hi there! I'm a new follower from the hop :)
ReplyDeleteI have to read a series in order, too. I always feel like I'm going to miss something important if I skip around.
Have a great weekend!
Hi, I'm a new follower =) Good answer on the book budget - it really does depend on what books came out that month & how long it takes to read them. August was a crazy month for me.. Clockwork Angel AND Mockingjay?! on top of the usual reads. And I totally went to the bookstore & bought those new releases at full price!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Bella!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday.
Old follower here. I’m doing all three of the Friday blog runs. I don’t limit myself to budget with books. I just love to read and write so that line is always doable for me. And Yes, I love start a series at the 1st book.

ReplyDeleteHey, new follower from the hop. My book budget fluxuates, but I try not to spend too much either. I totally agree with you about book series. Its just too confusing from the middle.

Hi there! Just hoppin' on by. <3 I'm a new follower! :D
ReplyDeleteMy book budget is $0! I'm a poor college student, so I only borrow books from the library or read in Barnes and Noble while hogging their air conditioning. :)
