Oh yes! I agree that around 8 often is the magic number (if not sooner). One book I read recently had the post script "this book really didn't want to get written in book 8 or 9. And all I could think was "you should have listened to the book!"
Another series I recently read ended with book 7 and it was an absolutely perfect ending. The author had decided to end the series there because she wanted to try something new. Hats off to her!
