Anyway, I don't have such patience as to wait to have ALL the books! That's torture!<br /><br />2. Well, I like to vacuum so I usually just use the vacuum to do the "dusting" as well. And I am not in charge of laundry (THANK GOSH) so I stick to my fave, the vacuuming!Life's Simple Pleasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13356934474620583688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-23182422134507886362012-02-20T16:00:08.675-06:002012-02-20T16:00:08.675-06:001.

But if I get book 1 right when it comes out, and it's gotten great reviews, then I can't wait!! I dive right in!<br /><br />2. To be honest, I hate chores so I would probably tell me kids to dust and fold laundry, and I would just vacuum! They can't be trusted to vacuum because they just skate around objects instead of moving them, or I'd have them do that, too! LOL There has to be a reason why having 5 kids is a good thing, and I think I just found it!!<br />jwitt33 at live dot comIn Julie's Opinionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11773229635604332414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-8239309791325628452012-02-20T09:12:14.612-06:002012-02-20T09:12:14.612-06:001.

The dusting can wait forever as far as I am concerned. I use the logic that I am allergic to dust so by not dusting it doesn't get kicked up and I don't get affected by it. Isn't that good logic? It is true though.<br /><br />lkish77123 at gmail dot comLinda Kishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10691270187098793014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-22036589779829729662012-02-19T17:11:44.194-06:002012-02-19T17:11:44.194-06:001.

When starting a series do you let the books wait till you're able to read them back to back or do you just jump in with Book #1??<br />I used to wait until an author finishes a series, but unfortunately writing process's long and one day it turned out I have nothing to read xD That's why I don't wait - if I feel like it, I read the first book(and wait a year for next, forgetting about the plot :/)<br /><br />2.

If one is missing, I wait until I get it. If I start with the first book then I will read it and get the rest as they come along. The only exception I think I've made is with the In Death series by J. D. Robb. I did read one of the later books and liked it so much that I went out and got the earlier books and now I'm reading them in order and getting the new ones as they come out. <br /><br />2. I would fold laundry because it needs to be put away, then dust, even though I hate to do that, because I hate looking at it more. I would vacuum last because my cats are usually asleep and I hate to bother them! lolCarol Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07018603523305326782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-55818665094927205942012-02-19T13:31:59.383-06:002012-02-19T13:31:59.383-06:001.

I usually just jump in with book 1 (or whatever book of a series that piqued my interest if I can read it out of order) instead of waiting to get subsequent books first because I usually like to read a book of a series first to determine whether I enjoyed it or not before committing to buying more books in a series (I don't have unlimited funds or shelf space after all).<br /><br />2.

More often than not I start with a book from somewhere in middle of the series and not even book 1 (I have this weird tendency to read a second book first, but not on purpose, it just often happened that it was the first in a series I bought on sale or won). Other than that I usually don't wait to have them all before reading. After all what if I don't like the first book that much? I wait how I like it and then I ponder buying the rest which, depending on the amount of books (and pages), I sometimes read back to back, or not.<br /><br />2. Oh dear! Could I just do the folding and let some minion do the rest?Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05307461298661584480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-86643047579227791272012-02-18T23:07:12.281-06:002012-02-18T23:07:12.281-06:001.

So I guess I am in the jump into #1 category.<br />2. I would do it in order of what I liked the least, so dust, fold laundry, vacuum.
