Answer: Depends on the book. For the most part I prefer stand-alones, as I can put the investment into only one book and not think of the next books that are in the series. Its not that I don't like series, I just find that if you find a book in a series that you don't like, especially the first one, then you may be missing a really good book in a series that may come down the road. Also there is the financial and time that one invests into a series, depending on how long the series goes on for and how long the books are. There is also the factor that if you can't get the first book in a series, its really not worth the effort to read it. There are always exceptions.

For me it also depends if its a really good story. I like stand-alone books because well it's only ONE book. But I also like series if it's worth it, meaning BRILLIANT story - it burns my pockets though.
Here's my answer @ Whatever You Can Still Betray
There are definitely good points to stand-alone books. Some series can really deteriorate over time which is never good.

I like both kinds. Series differ from one another too. my BTT
I'm conflicted too. More about that at Mostraum Viewpoint
I like both, but books in a series more. Here is my answer for this week's Booking Through Thursday.
I enjoy both,as long as it holds your interest.
