I can do both.
Normally I try to mix it up and read different authors. But sometimes I just want to read (or more likely reread) in a particular world.
With this reread of the Psy/Changeling series I started it back in late February, so I read other stuff as well. It's just the last two or three books that I read back-to-back.
I used to discover a new author and then glom as much of their backlist as I could find (this was in the days before digital books). And there were a few authors I burned out on doing that. Then once digital books happened, I have the opposite problem in that I buy the entire booklist of authors I haven't read at all. Partly because I'm an read-in-order type person and if book 5 in a series catches my eye I feel the need to read the first 4 books before I get to book 5. And partly because we used to have magic coupons and things that allowed buying lots of stuff for "one day I may want to read book x". I have tried really hard the past few years to get away from that as I have way too many series in my TBR I haven't even started. I haven't been 100% successful, but it has helped.
I am very much a mood reader though. So if I am enjoying a series, I tend to want to keep going. I find it easier to mix up reading stand-alones by other authors. Or if I am current on a particular series obviously I have to wait until the next book is written and released.
