A few years ago, I spent most of my savings on The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer (Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, Winter, and Stars Above; I didn’t get Fairest), read them all, and loved them…though I didn’t reread them and sold them some time later.

And what was the first series you spent most of your savings on?

    Bought a LOTR+The Hobbit box set on eBay for $20 a few months ago. They have the absolute corniest covers I have ever seen. They’re awesome.

    Hard to remember. It may be the whole of Sherlock Holmes when I was a kid of 8 or 9. Foundation also at 9, Dune may have been a little while later.

    The Dark Tower. The first book was the first I ever chose to read. Had been forced to read before, but after the DT books, I became an avid, lifelong reader.

    Sara Douglass novels. Hades’ Daughter series (4 books) and the Wayfarer Redemption series (6 books). Those were probably the first series I collected.
