Cool stand-alone novels vs. a series

That's too bad, but some folks are just more attracted to stand-alone novels as opposed to a series. Whatever you do, enjoy doing it.

I would read a trilogy or a series with four books but more than that I do not know why, I would not.

Hmmmm...you could read the first three as a triolgy then stop, then, sometime in the future, read books 4,5 and 6 as a new trilogy...and on and on. Or you could, if you're not interested in further exposure to Harry, stop reading after the first trilogy and be done with it.

But, again, whatever you do, enjoy doing it.

They can be read as seperate novels, although you will miss out on stuff.

You could also pretend that the next trilogy is an evil doppelganger from a dreaded and deadly dimension. Deep undercover. Even the author doesn't know. Biding his time. Ready to unleash the forces of Cthulhu upon this mangy universe.

Now if someone could get the publisher to lower the prices on the ebooks. Vast majority of my DTBs are in storage, including Dresden. A nicer price would allow me to grab the ebooks.
