Hungry for Another Series?
After reading the Hunger Games series I cast about for something else as a continuous read. Fortunately I found Divergent by Veronica Roth. Although the next book is not due out until May I am set to move on to the further adventures of Tris.
What is it about getting involved in a series? Is the lost-in-a-plot feeling? Is it the invested interest in characters? Perhaps it is the convenience of not having to find and audition yet another book (hmm, shades of dating and staying in a monogamous relationship). Anyway, here are some suggested series, tried, true, and some still new to me:
