Series books where the author constantly reviews what happened in previous books as though the reader has no long-term memory. Right now I'm reading the Southern Vampire Mysteries & there's a reminder paragraph for each of the previous books scattered throughout each new book - sometimes covering the same issue a couple of times. Even worse, I swear, in last two books, Harris is stopping to re-review what happened in the previous chapter! "Once upon a time, such and such happened, and since then, blah" - um, thanks, I *just* read about it. Minutes ago.
I don't know why I keep irritating myself with this series, I really do need to just put it down and walk away.
