These days I check out books by making sure they are not part of a 5-7 book series, because once you start you can't stop. Sometimes I feel like buying the book not because I like it but because I have to, because it makes the other part, lonely and I myself feels incomplete. I'm sure the marketer, publisher will be very happy to know this because their tactics worked on me.
As word of mouth travels faster than a fax machine, I started reading "Twilight" as the first book of the series and later on found myself waiting for the bookstore to open and buy the fourth and final installment "Breaking Dawn". As the Vampire fever pitched I saw the cover of "Fallen" as a billboard near my office then jumped in excitement as I learned "Crescendo is out already.
I watched "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" first and thought it would be nice to read it, thus, completing the five books for the "Percy Jackson" series.
Now, I have "The Lost Hero" waiting on my bedside table for me to pick it up and read it, because honestly I do not know if I want to read it, since I know I'll be gaga waiting for the next book.
These series is all because the success of all seven books of "Harry Potter" and what do you know it works, because reading this series is like eating Pringles.
