I read books in series and I like them because when one book you finish you want more of what is going to happen and that is what the authors do they keep you on the edge of your seat and wanting you to read the next one to see what happens.
Most of the books I've read this year are all in series except one book that I read this year. I like reading books in series more than a one book series. The reason why I like reading books in series is because when you read a one book series and at the end you want to know what happens next but then you cant because there's no more books, but when you read books in series then they can keep going on so it gets more interesting. Another reason why I like to read series books is because if the first book is good then you will what to read a lot more of that series or read a lot of other series.
The series I chose was Dreamhouse King series. I chose them because they were really good and I never wanted to stop reading. They were so exciting. The series didn't really start making sense until the second book, so having those books as a series was a good choice.
In my opinion I prefer series. I prefer series because to me they make more sense because you have more than one book to explain the whole story. I also think the books in series are more exciting. Most of them are but not all. I'm not saying that all the books that aren't series aren't exciting but it seems to me that series are pretty exciting and just helps me understand the books way better. I think I would rather read series than single books.
I chose The Hunger Games because it's my all time favorite series that I have read. Every time I opened that book I didn't want to stop reading it that is why I chose The Hunger Games. I did have a tough time choosing because I liked the Francis Tucket series and Diary Of A Wimpy Kid and The Dream House Kings a lot too.
This was hard for me to choose from Maze Runner,Hunger games and House Of Dark Shadows these are all my favorite series.The I chose was Maze Runner Because I started reading and I could not stop. .I always read series books because ,I like to see what happens in the last book so I can enjoy the books more without figuring out the ending in the first book.My favorite thing about series books are you always find new characters.The other thing I like about series is there're is always something that you never expect.
The Shadow Children is my favorite series because I understand them. Plus Luke is like me independent and inset allowed to go out side much and we live in woods. The Shadow Children is also my favorite series because they are full of action and adventure, plus it has a lot of risky stuff in it. In the first book he sneaks over to his neighbours house and finds out that they have a shadow child. In the second book they go to war well not exactly war, but fighting and stuff. Those are some very good examples of what good books the Shadow Children are.
I like to read books in a series because when you finish one book it makes the end exciting an then you wonder whats going to happen in th next book.I have read spider wick and now reading skeleton creek diary of a wimpy kid and Francis Tucket.I like series books because they are exciting and my favorite kind of series books are mysteries like skeleton creek and 39 clues.
I do like to read books in series. I like some of them but not all of the series. I like them because they let them go on and it tells good long stories. It was a really hard vote for me because I liked Francis Tucket, Hunger Games, Shadow Children, and Skeleton Creek but Hungers Games won for me. I liked Hunger Games because it has a lot of action and excitement. It also has a different setting and I think its cool to think about different times.
Hunger Games is the best series I have ever read. It has a lot of cool characters and different people in it and I like how the kids fight to the death and how Peeta is in love with Katniss the whole time. I also like the finish. It sucks when they have to go back to the games for the Quarter Quell. It also sucks by how Katniss shoots the force field and it blows up district 12. It is cool how they find out there is still district 13 and I was shocked to find that out.
I really like reading books in series because when you start reading a series and something exiting ends the book when you go to the next book in the series you wonder what will happen next. Something that makes me want to read books in series are when the author gives you something that gets you going and ends the book with that part. You read a description in the book that gives some information on what will happen in the next book you want to find that book and start reading as fast as you can to see what happens for sure.
Yes I read books in series, my favorite series so far is Dreamhouse Kings by Robert Liparulo. I prefer to read books in series because at the end of one book it kinda leaves you hanging till you read the next book in the series, also if you don't understand the first book the second book is usually way better. That's also why I like this type of book.
I like series better because if you have to read everyday and every night in a series there is always another book to read. Books in series are usually better than just one single book, I have found that to be true every series I have read I have liked but not every single book i have read I have liked.
I like the Skeleton Creek series because when I read the Skeleton Creek book it was awesome and I had to read the Ghost In The Machine and that was awesome too. Then when I finished Ghost In The Machine I decided I was going to read the rest of the series. They were awesome! I think the best books from that series was The Raven and Ghost In The Machine. Series books are what I read most of the time.
Series Books are a lot of fun to read. The reason I like the Skeleton Creek series was because one thing would happen after another. It always kept me on my toes. I think everyone should read a series of books especially the Skeleton Creek series.
I really like the House Of Dark Shadows series it is really good. I think it was the best it made me sit on the edge of my seat page after page. I mean the author he made it so good. It is like a mystery but it is spooky at the same time. I think that David and Xander are both the main character in this book. I think that anyone should read it. If you really like spooky books and ones that you get aggravated with when one of the books end. That's this series I recommend it a lot. I hope you read it and you will really like it if you do read it.
I really like series books and I read them a lot. I usually wait until all the books in the series are out because I hate having to wait until next year to read the next book. I like series books because when I read a really good book, I want to read more like it. With series, there are a lot more books to read. There is one thing I don't like about series, though. I don't like it when the book ends at a cliff hanger. I makes me so mad! The reason I picked the Hunger Games series is I like books with a lot of action. I think Hunger Games is one of my favorite series.
I mostly read series books, but It makes me upset when I finish reading the last book in the series. When I was in 5th grade, I was reading the Percy Jackson series. I got to the last book, and I was really mad because it was the best series I had ever read. I found out that the author, Rick Riordan, had a few more series. I found the first book in one of the series and started to read it. Then I started reading the other series. The only problem was they were new series, so not all the books were out. I'm still waiting for some to come out. I really like series books and I usually don't read single books anymore.

This was hard for me to choose from Maze Runner, Hunger games and House Of Dark Shadows these are all my favorite series. The I chose was Maze Runner Because I started reading and I could not stop.

My favorite thing about series books are you always find new characters. The other thing I like about series is there is always something that you never expect.
I have read lots of series books such as The Hunger Games, Francis Tucket, The Maze Runner and Skeleton Creek series. All of these series are really awesome. The Hunger Games has three books Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mocking Jay these are really sweet books. The Francis Tucket some really action packed and adventures books, if you like westerns these are the books to read. The Maze Runner series is a awesome series I personally love these books. The Maze Runner is kind of like The Hunger Games, which it is a sweet series.
l really like series book a lot. I like series books because every time I end a book its crazy. Like in The Hunger Games were Katniss gets out of the games, and she ask Gale if there going back to their home, and Gale says there is no home. Because the Capitol destroys it. I think everyone who read this comment should read all of the series above.
My favorite series book in this poll would have to be the Vet Volunteer books written by Laurie Halse Anderson. I like to read series books because they make more sense to me and you get to know more about the characters. I do read a lot of series books.I think that I have read almost all series books this year. The reason I like to read series books is they just make a lot more sense because they just keep going and going. The reason I like reading the Vet volunteer books is because they make me feel like I am there in the book watching it all happen.The kids in this book do these crazy things to show you that they really do care about animals. In the book Manatee Blues Brena jumps off a boat to help this little baby manatee that is in this fishing net.
I like these kind of posts because I like to see what kind of books different people are interested in.I do read series books a lot, most of the books that I have read are a series book.I do not like books that are not in a series because at the end of the books you are always wondering what is going to happen next and you never figure it out, with series books you can read the next book and figure it out.That is why I like to read a lot of series books.What I don't like is at the and of series books it ends at a really good part and the next book is not out yet or it is being read by someone else that is the only thing that I don't like a series books sometimes.
My favorite listed in this thing up above here is Vet Volunteers by Laurie Halse Anderson.I have read all the books in that series.They are so good, and she writes very good books.Why I like to read series books because there is more than one book in the series and not just one and you are not wondering what is going to happen next while you would if you were not reading a book that is not in a series.Why I picked Vet Volunteers by Laurie Halse Anderson is because she writes very interesting books.Her books really attract me for some reason once I read one book I kept on reading more and more of the books in that series and I was finally done with them all and I read all the books in that series.That is how good her books are to me and another reason I like to read her books is because she gives a lot of details to what she says.
In the series Vet Volunteers by Laurie Halse Anderson my favorite book in that series is Trickster because it is really good and another reason I think that I like that book is because my favorite animal is a horse and it is all about this one horse that is amazing.I like how I think once I read the series it had a moral to it in the end.
I strongly agree with your comment Lexi!

Something that makes me want to read books in series are when the author gives you something that gets you going and ends the book with that exciting part. You read a description in the book that gives some information on what will happen in the next book. You want to find that book and start reading as fast as you can to see if it really happens.
My favorite series is the Dream House Kings by Robert Liparulo. I love the first book called House Of Dark Shadows. I know I did not get to the other books yet, but I think they'll be awesome. I like this series because the way Robert uses his words in the story like it was a true story, and that you were in the book. I love series books because they make a whole lot more sense. I think the next book will be more exiting. This book is like a mystery,scary series. That is the main reason why I like this series.
I really like the Hunger Games series. It was the best series I have ever read.
I agree with you about the Skeleton book series it was pretty awesome. I also agree that it kept me on my toes when I read the books.
This is my favorite book by Robert Liparulo I really like it. I really like the House Of Dark Shadows series. It is really good. I think it was the best.

You will really like it if you read it.
Good comment Jack. I chose the Dreamhouse King series but I've never read The Hunger Game series. I might have to read them because everyone has said they are good.
The reason why I chose Spider wick Chronicles because it is one of my other favorite series and it always has to do with an adventure well they always try to find the treasure and they mostly get it all the time but like I was saying I love the series I thank the other is really awesome.
This was hard for me to choose from Maze Runner, Hunger games and House Of Dark Shadows these are all my favorite series. The one I chose was Maze Runner because when I started reading I could not stop.

I really liked the Hunger Games too. Mockingjay was my favorite book in the series.
I picked the Hunger Games too I loved that series.
My favourite series was the hunger games. I like this series because it is an adventure and action book. This book is about this girl Katniss Everdeen. In the ruins of north America is the setting. There used to be 13 districts and they went to war with the capitol and lost. So now 2 kids from every district a boy and a girl from the ages of 12 to 18 have to compete with every kid from the other districts to the death. They compete in the arena, this the place were they fight the arena changes every year (so they never know what to expect). They last person in the arena to live is the winner and then they live in the victor village every district has there own victor village. After they have became a victor thy never have to go in the hunger games again. Katniss's sister was chosen for the hunger games but then Katniss volunteered for her.
I like Shadow Children by Margaret Peterson Haddix because it is a good series. I like it because I
I like books in series because they are easier to read because they are really easy to get. I like reading books in series because they are easy to read and you can just read one book after another and not have to quit reading the book your reading. I am reading the Spiderwick Chronicles it is a good series and it is funny and has a lot of action. The books in series you can just keep reading them and then you you can just go to the next book in the series and not have to quit reading the book your reading I like reading Spiderwick Chronicles.
I picked Skeleton Creek by Patrick Carman for my favorite book. I have read all of the books in the series. I like to read books in a series because if you just read the first book then you don't know what else happens in the other books in the series.
The Skeleton Creek really keeps you guessing what happens next. I like books that are mystery and Skeleton Creek is the best book if you like mystery. Somethings in the book are things you wouldn't expect to happen.
My Favorite Book in a series is the Vet Volunteers Author Laurie Halse Anderson. I do like books in a series because it is really fun,you wonder what's going to happen next,and you just have a craving to read more. I really enjoy reading these series because I think to my self what is going to happen?What is gong to happen to her or him? What is going to happen to the animal or animals?
I love books in a series because the story's last longer. Also books in a series are usually full of good and juicy details. Books in a series are SUPER AWESOME. I read books in a series and I mostly only read books in a series. For example Zach's Lie, Percy Jackson And The Olympians, The Heroes of Olympus, The Maze Runner series, and many more series from last year!
I like Diary Of A Wimpy Kid books because. I think they are funny. I think there funny because they like do stuff that is funny and that is stupid.
I like series because the series usually have more adventure and more action and also more exiting things and more fun predicting what is going to happen. Then you get to know whether your prediction is correct or not. Example my favorite series are The Maze Runner,39 clues and Diary of a Wimpy Kid and many more other series. Series are a lot of fun when you read them and that is why I read them
I agree with you because I would want to read the rest of the books to see what will happen.
My favorite series is the SpiderWick Chronicles because I like action, and fiction books with goblins, fairies, and elf's. The books are exiting, amusing, and funny. My favorite is the 3rd book because it has more creatures in it than the 1st and 2nd book.
I like the Series of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins because it has a lot of suspense and action. These books are the best series I have ever read in my entire life. A good thing about it is it has a lot of problems, but they have solutions for those problems so it makes a great book.
A good thing is that there is a movie series of The Hunger Games coming out too, so if you've read the book it will give a great affect when you watch the movie because you will always know what happens next. These books always keeps you on edge all the time. When I was reading this series every chance I got I would read, read, read. I would even read when I got home rather then watch t.v. or go outside or anything. If you haven't read this series you are missing out on many great things.
I like reading books in a series because, with The Hunger Games, you will get attached and want to have the series never ending. When I got done reading the last book in the series of The Hunger Games my heart dropped. I was confused, mad, and frustrated all at the same time. I was mad at Suzanne Collins for making the series end. I wanted to write another book to the ending because it was so good.
I have read every one of the skeleton creek books but the the last one. So far I think they are the best books I have read this year. The skeleton creek books are a great book for me because I can read them just fine. I have read the last book but not all the way I think it was a good book I think I will read the last book when I get a chance. I like all the books because I like mystery books I like finding out the mystery.

I love to read books in series they have more cool stuff that is interesting like they can end in any way you want it to. Then you can just pick up were you started in the new book like The Maze Runner it stop at they went to bed then it picks up were they wake up in the secant book. I do not like books that do not have a series of books.
Yes, I do like reading books in a series because to me it seems like books make more sense because they give more detail. If they can't get the get all the information in one book, they can put it in to a new book. Books that don't have a series have to put it all in to on book and book in a series are not as long sometimes.
Most of the time I read books in a series because they just make more since to me but that is my opinion. The reason I don't like books that are not in a series is because you read it then you have to find a new one all over again and you really want to read anther book like that one so you have to find one.
Yes I do read books in a series. I really like them. They are my favorite kind of books to read. I like these books because I think that it is a lot more exciting. They also allow you to get a lot of books to read for read at home.
When you finish the first book you have to read the other books to know what happens. I also like the books in series because then there is a lot more pages. So then there are a lot more parts and exciting things that happen. So I think that makes the books in a series a lot more fun to read. Also when you are done with a book you don't have to worry about getting a new book that is to hard for you.
I usually don't read a book that isn't in a series. I don't like them as much as books in series because then everything is in one book. So then the problem in the book is resolved in the same book.
I like Shadow Children by Margaret Peterson Haddix it is a really good series. I like it because it's a mystery book you don't know whats going to happen. I like it because action and there is a lot of things you have to do in that book that is really risky. I like reading books in series because I know what is going on in the book.
Why I like the series because it is just fun to read you can't wait to see what happens. It's so exciting I just want to jump out of my seat.
I think The Hunger Games is a great book too!
Hunter I like Skeleton Creek to have you read the last book the raven.
I love to read books in a series because once you finish one book you want to read the others. When I read books in a series it helps me get connected to the characters in the story. I like to read series with lots of books like the Shadow Children series. The Shadow Children series has at least seven to eight books. I think books that aren't in a series are too short and less enjoyable.
My second favorite series would probably be the Percy Jackson series because I really like Greek mythology. The series is so awesome I read the series three times.
The only types of books I read are the ones in a series I do this because when they are in a series I think they are more exciting. I think this because the writer has to keep thinking of stuff to wright that is exciting or the people that is reading his book will become uninterested in his book and that would be bad for sails. But when the book is in a series some kids mite not like it because when you get in to a book series like the Maze Runners I think it gets harder and harder to read because in this book the people that he meets have their own language I even thought it was hard reading it for the first time.
I like reading books in a series because they are exciting and you can see that you have accomplished something. I think that for some people that would make them feel good about them selves I know that I feel good when I complete a book series.
I LOVE reading books in a series! I wish that every book had at least one more book to go along with it. I think why I like books in a series so much is because when I finish the first book, I can't wait to go on to the second to find out what's going to happen next! However, when I read books that aren't in a series, I always wish that there was more books to go along with it.
The only thing I don't like about series books is that you'll finish one book, but the next book won't be out yet or someone may already have it. So you have to wait for the second book to come out which could be months later.
My two favorite series EVER are the Shadow Children and the Maze Runner series! The Shadow Children books are written by Margaret Peterson Haddix (who is my favorite author and this series is why!). She also writes books that aren't in a series and they are really good too! The Maze Runner books are written by James Dashner. I had never even heard of James until I read the first book of this series. I would have to say though that he is my second favorite author ever because of this series!
The next series that I am excited to read is the Hunger Games because I always have people saying to me how good they are. I also want to read it because I hear that a movie is coming out for it and I want to see that too!
I agree that reading books of a series is the best way to go! I believe they can be the most addicting books because after awhile you feel as though you have gotten to know the characters. At the end of every book the author leaves you dying to know more and by the end of the series I'm wishing the character's stories would go on forever. I think introducing children to series novels is important to do in the classroom as well. It's hard enough to try to get a child to read, but by leading them towards an intersting series it can redirect their opinions on reading and hopefully even make it fun! My personal favorite series is The Hunger Games because it is an intense novel full of suspense that always leaves you guessing and wanting more!
