I\u2019ve noticed that when I start a new series, I lose track of the characters a whole year later when the second book is published.<\/p>\n<p>So I\u2019ve been contemplating waiting until the second book is released before starting to read the first one. Then if I read them a week or two (or even a month) apart, I\u2019ll at least remember the characters and will be able to get into successive books much more quickly. Does anyone else have these same \u2018memory\u2019 problems when starting a new series, or is it just me?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>MJ, rest assured, you are not alone! But, let&#8217;s see what other Cozy Mystery readers have to say.<\/p>\n<p>How about you, do you have trouble keeping all your new Cozy characters straight? Does it help you to read the first two books in a series consecutively so that you can better remember the characters and settings? Please post a comment. Thanks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The other day, MJ posted a comment that caught my eye.
