I have been on bit of a crime/mystery binge recently, started the Ian Rankin 'Rebius' books late November, liking continuity when I am reading a series so I'm also reading the spin off 'Malcom Fox' series. Finished the 19th Rebus book to discover there is a Rebus vs. Crossover, I know I could have just read the short story without reading the Roy Grace books but the previous vs. crossover books but I can't help myself. So now I'm about a third of the way through the Peter James 'Roy Grace' series, should see me through March.
After I have finished the Rebus, Fox and Grace series' there are a few books that have been released over the last few month's for other series'. Simon R. Greens 'Murder in the Dark, Louise Penny's 'Kingdom of the Blind', Elly Griffiths 'The Stone Circle' and 'Through Fiery Trials'. Can't wait to read about the various adventures of Chief Inspector Gamache, Dr Ruth Galloway, Nimue Alban and Ishmael Jones.
After that I think I'm going to do a bit of rereading, the Culture books have been mentioned an awful lot on Era the last month or so which keep reminding me how much I loved them. Diskworld is another series I think I will enjoy again, while quite a few books I have read over the years have had their laugh out loud moments, I recall the Diskworld books either having me laughing or a massive grin on my face throughout.
I read both of those series' in 2013 so while I have fond memories of reading them the details are pretty vague, a read of a books description and snippets will no doubt flash through my mind but I've forgotten enough to enjoy them at least as much as the first time through. Probably even pick up on subtle things missed first time.
I suppose a bit of rereading will give authors time to finish books for other series' I'm invested in as well š
