Heck of a thread over in one of my goodreads groups (Serious Overload of Series) with some freebies.

 

'Tis the day for internet browsing ... warn me if you see me shelving something you know is awful or is by one of those authors who interact weirdly/negatively with reviews.

 

*sigh* the turkey is cooking in the oven and starting to make the house smell so appetizing -- but it takes so long ...

Binge reading discussed on NPR's Marketplace by Nancy Koehn of the Harvard Business School
A Study in Silks - Emma Jane Holloway
A Study in Darkness - Emma Jane Holloway
A Study in Ashes - Emma Jane Holloway

And there's a corresponding article in the NY Times:

 

The practice of spacing an author’s books at least one year apart is gradually being discarded as publishers appeal to the same “must-know-now” impulse that drives binge viewing of shows like “House of Cards” and “Breaking Bad.”

 

 “Consumers want to be able to binge-read or binge-watch,” Christine Ball, the associate publisher of Dutton, said in an interview. “We wanted to give the consumers what they wanted in this case.”
 
. . . “I think the bottom line is that people are impatient,” said Susan Wasson, a longtime bookseller at an independent shop, Bookworks, in Albuquerque. “With the speed that life is going these days, people don’t want to wait longer for a sequel. I know I feel that way. When I like a book, I don’t want to wait a year for the sequel.”
 
The way they put this on Marketplace:
 

Goldfish have longer attention spans than Americans, and the publishing industry knows it

 

 

I don't like to think I have less attention capability than a fish, but I recently read The Baskerville Trilogy by Emma Jane Holloway and I did appreciate that all 3 books were released within months of each other. They're long books with complicated plots and reading them almost one after the other meant I didn't forget things, but unless the author is a speed writer she must have had to hold back the first book for years while she was writing the other two.
