Weekly meme hosted by

Welcome to Obsession with Books!! I am so excited to be one of the featured blogs for this weeks feature and follow Friday along with The Spork Master
A very big Thank-you to Rachel of Parajunkee and Alison from Alison can read for hosting such a wonderful meme! it is the very first meme I participated in and has introduced me to so many wonderful blogger friends from all over the world as well as books I would have never thought to have read.. 

 

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:  Do you have a favorite series that you read over and over again? Tell us a bit about it and why you keep on revisiting it?

There are so many wonderful series I have loved and a few faves that I tend to revisit, including - Chicagoland Vampires by Chloe Neill, Mercy Thompson by Patricia Briggs and Kate Daniels by Ilona Andrews but my all time favorite author and series is the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning - an amazing Urban Fantasy that I absolutely adore, a must read.

    I'm very ashamed to say this but I haven't read any of these books yet! I've been intending to pick up the Chicagoland Vampires and The Fever series because I've heard some great things about both! Which would you recommend first?

    I love that you didn't say Twilight or Harry Potter. I can see already how many answers will be those series. And I still need to read all of these. Chicagoland Vampires I haven't heard of, the others are pretty high on my wishlist at the very least.

    Congrats on being featured :)

    I still haven't reread any of my favorites. Simply because I always find myself grabbing the books that I have been wanting to read for awhile!

    Congrats on being featured this week, Sharon!
    I still can't believe you haven't read Harry Potter. That's always shocking to me. lol I suppose I am a little biased though, since it's my favorite series ever. ;-)
    I've read the first Fever book, but need to read the rest. I have the others on my list, but haven't gotten around to them yet. I actually just added Chloe Neill to my list the other day when I saw one of her books at the library.
    Have a great weekend!

    I read the first Mercy Thompson a while back. Personally, I found it to be missing something. It read like an RPG sourcebook: long on worldbuilding, short on plot.
