Books. Series.

These recent years, I have slipped into a unusual habit.
Tend to read books which are in a series.
And there'll be 5 or 6 books in a particular series.
In fact, all these years, I have only read three extremely famous book series.
All the other books in the market don't appeal to me, at all.
And the book series are none other than HARRY POTTER series and  PERCY JACKSON series ( Percy Jackson and the Olympians & The Heroes of Olympus ) .
I really couldn't figure out why.
Maybe I'm just too used to the old and familiar stuffs ? And I have somehow developed deep relationships with the books and its characters.
That might be the ultimate reasons.
But right now, as you know( unless you live in a cave somewhere in a jungle), the HARRY POTTER series and the PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS series were long been published and of course, I had finished reading them.
All that's left is THE HEROES OF OLYMPUS series, which only leaves 2 or 3 books to complete it.
I shuddered to think what I'll be reading then.
Maybe before my time is up with this book series, I'll need to find a new 'attachment' .
That's just sad.
Or perhaps I can finally lay my hands on those solitary books in the market...
We'll see how everything goes then.
To be frank, I couldn't really imagine me reading just an ordinary book right off the bookshelf...
Been lost touch for 5 years, to be exact...but of course with a few exceptional cases ( i.e. self-motivation books, self-help books, history books and a few extraordinary novels)...
The time will come, or maybe it won't, for me to shop for singular jewel in seas of books...

Here're a few book series that aren't my cup of tea :
The Inkheart series :  ( but maybe this will after I explore it a little bit further )



The Kane Chronicles series :



The 39 Clues series :



Twilight series :  ( Particularly this one... I had my reasons )



And so on...

Book series that are in my collection now :

Harry Potter series :



And books related to the Harry Potter world :



( The above books are the total number of books which are written by J.K Rowling about the Harry Potter world. It also means that it's the total number of books written by her for all these years as she didn't write anything rather than Harry Potter stuffs. )


Percy Jackson and the Olympians :




Book related to Percy Jackson world :


I'm still missing a book about the Percy Jackson world, which is the Percy Jackson Ultimate Guide.
