Harder to spot that since it wasn't actually a series - just 2 books that play off each other...several of her Higlander novels cross reference each other, but they are not quite as interconnected (is that aMama Nicehttp://www.meloniejohnson.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818271631097544110.post-61262514093669032132009-07-21T16:35:31.562-04:002009-07-21T16:35:31.562-04:00Yes, it has happend to me.

I was able to start some Putney's series with a glance inside the cover of one of her more recent books. But, like Katie, I grabbed one of the later Bridgerton's only because I knew I liked <i>Lost Duke of Windham</i> and wanted another Quinn badly.

Then, usually, I go back and buy all the other ones I missed. As you said, a great way to find new authors. I discovered Sherrilyn Kenyon this way...and needless to say I own every one of her books. :)Kira Danielshttp://www.kiradaniels.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818271631097544110.post-851107282076955972009-07-20T16:27:31.968-04:002009-07-20T16:27:31.968-04:00Yes I have done it on more than one occasion.

I don't usually research the books I read. I just pick up books that sound good to me.<br /><br />Thank you for the giveaway.CrystalGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16613282698726922126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818271631097544110.post-56402589113812276342009-07-20T12:52:38.861-04:002009-07-20T12:52:38.861-04:00This has happened to me a few times.

If it's an author that I don't know I usually figure it out when it keeps referencing something that may have happened before. Generall I still finish the book and if I liked it and am curious about the others then I go online and find out more.<br />I love it whenBooklover1335https://www.blogger.com/profile/00349830659777131549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818271631097544110.post-46953156269485775592009-07-20T12:25:38.981-04:002009-07-20T12:25:38.981-04:00A while ago (years) someone gave me one of Julia Q...A while ago (years) someone gave me one of Julia Quinn's Brigerton books and when I realized there were stories for all of the brothers and sisters I devoured her entire back list. As a rule, I don't research books before buying. Usually I see a blurb and/or excerpt I like and I just buy it and if it ends up being part of a series and i really enjoyed it, I'll buy part or most of the Katie Reushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18085461796363818906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818271631097544110.post-2416460898486300902009-07-20T09:37:24.001-04:002009-07-20T09:37:24.001-04:00This is funny because it's a running joke in o...This is funny because it's a running joke in our household that my MIL always gives us a book that is third, fourth or fifth in a series. With Kelley Armstrong, you can read out of sequence, but some books like J.D. Robb's series are just so much better when read in order.
