For me, as a fan, when I read book series, I tend to be the most judgmental of the last book.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't often reread my own books, unless I am going into another in the series and need to refresh my mood when originating the concept.
I think of every book as a single entity, and some have later gone on to become a series, often at the request of readers.
After each book, I get panicky. I don't love the reviews. I don't like going through all that, and you would think that, after almost 40 years of writing, I'd have got the hang of it.
I am influenced by books which don't have their eye on the endgame, but which try to be entertaining on each and every page.
I've always been a big fan of books.
I'm such a fangirl when it comes to other writers. I read 250 books a year, and I'm always talking up books by other authors.
My favorite book is the last one printed, which is always better than those that were published earlier.
In my high-minded and naive way, I believed the only books worth reading were the classics.
I've stopped reading about the death of books because it's wasteful and morbid and insulting to the authors, agents, publishers, booksellers, critics, and readers that keep the world community of fiction interesting.
For me the end of a book is just as exciting as it is for a reader.
