I agree with Orlok!
It is a process I've just recently adopted. Although it is less likely to happen with a trilogy, taking a break between the more self-contained books can help prevent series burn out.

thanks for the suggestions and opinions. i'm one of those people that once i start a series i like to finish, and probably also a reason why i haven't started any series that contain a lot of books in said series. i'm keen on the newer authors and newer series and starting fresh with them and continuing. i get to start out at book 1 knowing there are only 2 books after instead of 23 or 12. or i get to jump on board of book 1 and get to wait anxiously until book 2 comes out.
iron druid chronicles - 3 books signed for 6
mhi 3 books and 2 more mentioned not so much series as universe books
templar chronicles 3 books
steve vail books 2 by noah boyd
hard magic 1 book with a 2nd in the fall and i think a 3rd planned as well
and i'll probably jump on this series as well
jonathan hunt series ( book 1 due in october )

it's not all i've read but are categorized in the recent books and newer series
after looking at my list they contain monsters / magic / demons / sleuthing and can all be considered in the same fantasy realm except for steve vail and the two books he is in which are probably considered thriller / crime ? i dunno.
