reading, recommendations, genre, and serious literary criticism.

This week’s recommended discussion: Inspired by the “sequence” of the 123rd Book Nook, are there authors whose books you read in the sequence in which they were written? A series is the obvious answer, but what about books that only share worlds, or even just to appreciate a writer’s growth and changes?

One caveat: because we’re here to use our words, this is a NO GIF/YouTube/social media embed zone (the OTs are full of clutter, and I want to keep that out of this thread).
