I tend away from them, as a reader and as a writer, because I find them overwhelming. As a reader, I actually prefer serials, where I pay a chapter at a time. I don't mind if I wind up paying more than I would if I bought the whole thing at once. I find I'm more likely to read a book when I acquire it that way. We have very different taste, clearly!Annabeth Leonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07455191827664110878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-3086714047436148722017-10-11T20:56:18.342-04:002017-10-11T20:56:18.342-04:00I wonder whether books in boxed sets are as likely...I wonder whether books in boxed sets are as likely to actually get read as those acquired singly. Something about all that reading material coming at once feels kind of daunting to me. Admittedly, I'm easily daunted even by books acquired singly when they stack up in my TBR folder.Sacchi Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10801164916418570059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-35961753927076843722017-10-10T12:11:45.713-04:002017-10-10T12:11:45.713-04:00Hmmm...

I'm so out of the loop.<br /><br />That Valentine set is tempting.<br /><br />But. Ummm... Aren't you out of sequence, Ashe?

I really feel that this trend has depressed prices for the rest of us. <br /><br />Meanwhile everyone claims to be a best selling NY Times author these days... so who cares? The value of such a badge has shrunk to close to nothing.<br /><br />However, the Valentine's roulette book does sound interesting. Getting a group of authors to write in the same world is quite a difficult feat to accomplish. Lisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.com
