Great video as always Louise. I've been an avid reader since the age of 4 ,I was a 70s child and remember my grandparents buying me a 5 book series with titles like Call of the wild, Heidi, The wizard of Oz, Kidnapped and the wind in the willows. I read them one after the other and nowadays I do dive into a large series but occasionally read another book then go back to the series I was previously reading. You're right binging is brilliant! 😊😂

Again I am putting so many of these titles on my lists. I must say that the Shardlake mysteries have become my favorites of all time. I have spread them out to read one every fall or winter and he puts me right there. I am so afraid to be done with them. In addition I looked at the front of the Willard novels and they remind me so much of my beloved Victoria Holt, whom I used to read on my beach vacations in youth. I am still collecting and reading those so I will add Willard. Also I was always adding a James Herriott novel to my nightstand, as they can be read in pieces and involve people who are friends like you mentioned. If you remotely like science fiction, an oddball is the Murderbot diaries by Martha Wells. They are mind opening and also snarky.

This way of reading really set me up for life and I love a good series . Historical fiction, fantasy, all of it! ( though I'm not so in to crime) Have you ever read anything by Juliet Marrillier? I think you would really love her writing. She writes historical fantasy, I guess but the fantasy is very light. Kind of fairytale-esque. She has such strong characters,often female. She has quite a few series and , I think, one standalone. I highly recommend her Sevenwaters Series but all of her books are great!! Totally bingable ❤

For more medieval monks run amok - Susanna Gregory's Matthew Bartholomew Series! I do think that as a child we are more likely to want to binge and stick with a single author because when younger your knowledge of authors and books is more limited - so if you are allowed to ask for a book at the library or a store - you would ask about what you already knew - plus you are just starting to determine what you like.. BUT then after years of reading we want them all - but time and money does not always allow for us to read the same author/series or straight up binge. I have several series that I have started that I want to keep going with - but the authors seem to produce more books than I can read, and then I learn about new series or authors...
