Dear Publisher #1

This is the first of many posts addressed to some of my questions about why publishers do the things they do, or some of my thoughts and questions on what I would like to see in publishing.

Dear Publisher,
When you send me an advance copy of a book (thank you!) could you try to always note somewhere on the book that it might be part of a series?!

For instance, a year or so ago I read Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. I have not been able to come to a decision about my feelings for the book because after reading 500 pages I discovered that there would be another book. (turns out there will be 4 in the series, I know this now) But I was expecting resolution not a cliff hanger!

I love a good series, but knowing a book is or might be part of the series lets me know what to expect from the get go.

Appreciatively yours,
Christie

PS. Started Beautiful Darkness, loving it so far!
