The Book of Questions: Business, Politics and Ethics | Gregory Stock

Happy Friday everyone! Time for the #bookishquestion of the week! The question is: is there a series you started out enjoying but just couldn‘t finish? For me, it was Outlander. I read the first 7 or 8 when they came out, but one day, I just couldn‘t get into them anymore. #BookTalk

Deblovestoread I loved Rita Mae Brown‘s cozy mystery series. They were like a snuggle with my favorite blanket that is until she started using them as a platform to share her political views. 2y

TiredLibrarian Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta series really seemed to go off the rails for me. DNF

Angeles Most series with more than 5 or in amazing cases six books on them. They become repetitive. This is why I never bothered with Game of thrones. 2y

DGRachel Both Anne Perry‘s Thomas/Charlotte Pitt series and William Monk series. I got into the 20s in both and they just turned into one big conspiracy theory which grew old fast. Speaking of Outlander, though…I‘ve tried countless times and I can‘t get past/through Fiery Cross. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2y

KathyWheeler @Deblovestoread I was fine with them until I read one that I can‘t even remember the name of, but it involved grape growing. I hated it so much and was so bored that I‘ve never read another one. 2y

Dragon Outlander I may have partially read some but the last one I finished was

Written in My Own Heart's Blood

Bookzombie I gave up on Sookie Stackhouse after book 7. I thought they were getting a little dull. I also stopped reading Stephanie Plum after #25 mainly because I don‘t care for the Diesel character from the in-between stories. #TeamRanger4Ever 😁 2y

CSeydel @Deblovestoread That can ruin a good story for sure! 2y

CSeydel @TiredLibrarian 👍🏻 2y

CSeydel @Angeles It‘s true! I still enjoy the No 1 Ladies Detective Agency series, but I notice that if I read two in a row now I really start rolling my eyes at the tropes 2y

CSeydel @DGRachel Outlander, man. It turned into a chore and I finally said - why am I doing this! I have had an unread copy of Echo in the Bone sitting here for like 10 years 😆 2y

CSeydel @KathyWheeler 😆🍇 2y

CSeydel @Dragon I thought they were very entertaining, but then … I don‘t know. I just didn‘t look forward to them anymore. Maybe I‘ll try again. I still have Echo in the Bone sitting here! Assuming I still remember who everyone is after all these years. 2y

CSeydel @Bookzombie 👍🏻 2y

Dragon Agreed @CSeydel I stopped looking forward to them and they started to feel too long. 2y

AnnR I did the same with Outlander, only making it through book 3. The stories were too violent for my reading taste. 2y

IndianBookworm For me it was The mortal instruments by Cassandra Clare. I just couldn't go past the second book. The characters, the setting seemed fun by the end of the first book though. Probably someday or never? 2y
