I never read books out of order. Never.
This is #8 in a series + reads as a standalone (and might have football in it, Go Cardinals!) so I'm gonna try the "reads-well-as-a-standalone" thing. But I'm nervous about jumping ahead. #bookwormproblems #readingquirks #imsureitwillbefine
? Do you guys & gals ever read companion series out of order? Am I the only one that is a complete stickler about reading. in. order. always? Surely not!
OSChamberlain Oh man I could never. You're brave! I'm way too ocd for that. 8y
Lauren_reading Her books can be read out of order - I started this series years ago by reading the 3rd book 😀 I also hate messing up the series order!! 8y
Karenlovesbooks I'm also a stickler for reading in order! 8y

LeahBergen Reading out of order makes me so anxious! 😂 8y
mllemay @LeahBergen same here lol 8y
PrincessLibrarian Oh, reading out of order would almost certainly give me a panic attack. No. Never. 8y
Gayan Never, just the thought of it makes me feel unwell. 8y
Pandyfish Same! The problem is when you pick up a book without realizing it's 2nd in the series.... 😫 8y
megt I'm with @LeahBergen and @mllemay! Just thinking about reading a series out of order makes me anxious, haha. 8y
Lizpixie I read In Pursuit of The Proper Sinner by Elizabeth George first, which is bk10 in the Lynley series & Aftermath by Peter Robinson which is bk12 in Inspector Banks because they were the first by that author I'd ever seen. Afterwards, I went to a 2ndhand bookstore (sadly no longer here☹️) and bought all the previous books of both. I'm a bit OCD like that. 8y

raelaschoenherr This isn't really a series. You're totally fine! Mostly it's just people who have played for or are connected to a fictional sports team. And I think it's mostly marketing :) 8y
