In fact I’ve often done that with several of my all time favorite authors. I think a reader should be able to gorge to their heart’s delight on any and all books written by that author. I actually think an author’s work SHOULD stand up to back-to-back reading. Something to the effect that no author’s work holds up under back-to-back reading.Īt the time I dismissed the statement and didn’t think of it again, but my recent frustrations brought it back. The first one is always decent, then the second one annoys me because it’s basically a carbon copy of the first but with different names for the leads and by the time I get to the third, I can’t continue because I’m so annoyed at the repetition.ĭiscussing this problem with a friend of mine reminded me of something a well known m/m author said a few years ago on twitter. After trying 3 different authors I can only last 2.5 books. Since then I’ve been struggling to find another author and series that I can listen to and haven’t found it yet. It was Patricia Briggs’ Mercy Thompson and Alpha/Omega series, and to be honest book 6 of the MT series was eh, but the rest rocked. This question occurred to me recently because I read 9 books by the same author one after another, in two different series, and loved every single book. Or does their work break down when read so close in time to each other? Can you read numerous works by the same author back to back and be satisfied?
