Normally, if it´s a series of books I´ll start at the beginning. This sometimes is a pain in the arse for me living here in Brazil as the bookstores that sell books in English will have maybe the middle book of the series and not the rest. Or, as has just happened, the first book and I know for certain that the rest will ot follow. seeing as I don´t have an international credit card and it would be prohibitively expensive to order from the internet it leaves me in a quandry. I miss out on some great stories because I just put the books back on the shelves.
