The Book Blogger Hop was originally created by Jennifer @ Crazy-For-Books in March 2010 and ended on December 31, 2012. With Jennifer’s permission, Billy @ Ramblings Of A Coffee Addicted Writer relaunched the hop on February 15, 2013. Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end the following Thursday. There will be a weekly prompt featuring a book related question. The hop’s purpose is to give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend other bloggers, and receive new followers to your own blog.

This week’s prompt has been submitted by our host Billy and is:

18th – 24th – Do you prefer to read standalone or series books? (submitted by Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer)

Well, it really depends on the genre for me. For instance, I love fantasy series. Why? The storyline and the worldbuilding are often so rich and complicated that one book just is not enough to keep the reader satisfied and cover it all up. However, with romances or contemporary stories, I really don’t know what an author would do with more than one book. Then, a standalone often is enough.

What about you? Do you prefer to read standalones or series?
