The above are pretty accurate for me. I abandoned several of Harry Turtledove's alternate history series that I had been thoroughly enjoying, but got tired of. Now I seldom even check out his new novels, even though he used to be one of my Go-To authors. For the Honor Harrington series, I was a huge fan till I tried rereading all of them in fairly shore period of time. Probably a mistake. I stopped about halfway through the 8th or 9th book, and have never opened one again. About the same time I stopped, I had bought the just-released new book in the series, and I never have touched it, and I have no clue or interest now about the status of the series. So when I do get turned off, I tend to completely divorce from an author, not just the individual series.Ann in Arlington said:When I feel like every book is the same. Sometimes that's 2 books in. Sometimes it's 20 books in. Sometimes it never happens.
If I'm reading them at a sprint -- one right after the other, I'm more likely to get overloaded and stop with it entirely. So I've learned to space out the books.
