Happy Friday, friends!
I'm once again participating in five blog hops today. You can click on the host links below to read the blogs of others who are participating in each blog hop. If you're a blogger, feel free to join through their links!
Question: Do you prefer to read standalone or series books?
My response: Given that I primarily read cozy mysteries, which are almost always series, I'd have to say my preference is series books. I enjoy getting to know the characters better and see how they and their circumstances change over time. They become like friends. However, I do read some standalones too.
Today's excerpts are from the hardcover format of Death on the Shelf (Haunted Library Mystery 5), by Allison Brook.
"I can't believe it! This simply cannot be happening!" Angela Vecchio looked up from her cell phone and burst into tears.
And here's an excerpt from page 56:
Before I could mention I just received a discount, senor Dominguez said, "Elena, please give this nice young lady a ten percent discount because she's a great friend to the shop." With that, the owner winked at me and left the shop whistling.
I like this series a lot, and this installment is no different so far. At the rate I'm reading in general, it might take me all of next week to finish it. When I do, I'll post a review.
This fairy home is loved in a way only Bell and Fiona know how to show their love for it. They occasionally go inside one at a time, but mostly they wrestle with it. Here is Bell rolling around all over it. She's not relaxed in this picture. You might be able to tell by the look in her eyes.
The first line does make you wonder what upset her so much! I hope you enjoy this one. Have a great weekend!

DeleteOh my goodness, I have enjoyed visiting everyone today. Such great photos and books too. I love reading and I love all of our fur babies.
ReplyDeleteSame here, Anne! :-)
DeleteBell looks like she is having a lot of fun.
ReplyDeletePossibly too much fun for her own good! :-)
DeleteA series can be great, as long as the quality is kept up, and most of them are.
ReplyDeleteA story which starts out with someone so upset can only get better from there, right?
Bell looks like "Busy Bell" in this photo.
Thank you for joining Feline Friday!
Busy Bell is the perfect name for her. :-)
DeleteHaunted Library?! Sign me up! I'll have to read the series.
ReplyDeleteAnd I keep forgetting Feline Friday! I have two ridiculous cats I could talk about.
