If I find myself absolutely bored by the series I have no problem breaking up with it, ex. Vortex by S.J. Kincaid- I really liked Insignia but Vortex was just ugh so no third book Catalyst for me. Or if I find myself completely disgusted by an event in the book, ex. Darkest Minds. I listened to the audio of this and besides the over descriptions of everything driving me insane, I was disgusted by a sexual assault that takes place at the end of the book and realized I had no desire to continue with this series.

I love this! I’ve had many times where I’ve found myself becoming less and less attached to a particular book series.

I love this so much!! It’s as useful for TV shows as it is for books — and I completely agree, if you reach a point where you’re just not emotionally involved anymore, you should feel free to drop the sucker and read something else. (Though it’s very, very hard to admit that something you once loved just isn’t that good anymore.)

Love the chart! I typically don’t panic over continuing series because if I didn’t like it I usually just forget all about it. But I have definitely fallen out of love series as time goes on…my real debate is over if I should keep them on my shelves. Part of me wants to keep them because I enjoyed some of the series…but the other part of me wants to get rid of them because I HATED the rest of the series. Decisions decisions.

Hi!

Thanks for replying and thanks! Then I will post this one on my blog soon, more people need to see this chart.

Thanks, and another thanks for creating this wonderful chart. So far it already helped me with one series I was wondering about.

Wow, thanks for this great article and I love the chart, I will be sure to use it. 🙂 Do you mind if I post it on my blog and link back to you/this blog?

On the topic of breaking up with series. Argh, I know the feeling. Sometimes I even have series I don’t like, but then I hear the series gets better and I just want to try it again, even if I know I shouldn’t.

But it is so hard to drop a series, especially if it is one that I loved, but is one that just keeps on going without an end in sight. I just need to pick, either continue and be stuck with it for possibly years and years to come or just drop it and find another series that has a date it will be finished.

I do hope one day that I can just drop a series without feeling guilty for dropping it. Maybe the chart will help me out, I hope so. I will be sure to follow up if I had a few successful runs with giving up a series.

Thanks again!
