Random Question #2:
How do you address reading a series, especially one that went through “fanatical hype” before you picked it up?
Say, a Harry Potter or The Hunger Games type of series.
Do you approach it:
- All the books in a row. Get through them all at once.
- Not all at once, but with only one buffer book in between.
- See how you feel at the end of each book.
- Never read them.
Discuss! 😊
Writing Radiation 
for Question 2, I see how I feel after reading the first book. If I like it I continue with the series. I have zero issue reading things that have a lot of hype around them, but I’ll like them on their own merit. Sometimes I do wait for the hype to die down if I got in after it happened, but other than that, I try to be fair in my assessment.

That makes a lot of sense – I tend to either wait until hype is growing or it has WILDLY passed. I didn’t start Harry Potter until around the 3rd book, but I’m looking to start reading the first Hunger Games book soon. LOL

Yup! Either I get in on the ground floor or I join the party when it’s starting to die down :p
