I'm with you... lately I've been thinking at least twice before purchasing any 'deal' by a new to me author if I see it is part of a series... sometimes I'm good, sometimes I'm not.
In the Romance Readers Reading Challenges GR group I am in there is one challenge where you create a shelf of books you want to read and then everyone else who is participating in the challenge picks books from that list for you to read... so I created a shelf of series that I had started but not gotten around to finishing. The point of the challenge is to read the list 'picked' for you over the next 2 months (about 18 books). It's great incentive! When this one is done, my list will be series I've never started that have been sitting in my TBR the longest.
I know I've mentioned it before but I have to say it again...I love this group on
GR. There are lots and lots of different types of challenges and the thing I most enjoy is searching my library to find books that meet some of the categories of the challenges. This has helped me get to know what's in my library (around 3,000 books) believe it or not. It also gives me incentive to actually READ them
