Is there any series you just have to have a printed copy of?

I usually only read a book once. But if I really love the book or series, then I try to get a paper copy. Right now I am looking for all the books for the Lords of the Underworld series by Gena Showalter. I have the Twilight series and the Fifty Shades series as well.

The one series that I love and have to have in print is the "The Selection" book series by Kierra Cass. That series is my all time favorite and I also have to have in print the "Goose Girl" by Shannon Hale.

Unless I am reviewing a book, which I read on my kindle, I have a physical copy of it. I love actual books. E-books just really don't do it for me.

I have all of Harry Potter in paper copies. I like the book covers.

I sometimes wish that I had paper versions of my favorite series but then when I look at how much space is saved by not having those books to store I am ok with my decision to just have them on my e-reader. Hopefully nothing tragic happens to my electronic versions to keep me from being able to revisit my favorites.

I always say if you are going to have one book in the series you might as well have them all. It's like a little family, you can't just split them apart. I enjoy having the Lord of the Ring Trilogy and Harry Potter series.

I do have a couple of series in printed copy. I have the entire Harry Potter series in hardcover. I also have the Uglies trilogy by Scott Westerfeld in hardcover as well as Stephen King's The Dark Tower series. Sometimes I re-read these books and I would much prefer to do so with the hardcopies than with an e-reader.

I don't HAVE to have it, but I always prefer books in hand and not an ebook.

I agree, I have to have Clare's books in print (I have them in hardback, and I just bought the new paperback covers...I'm a mess.) But I also need to have the Harry Potter series in print. I've had to get rid of a lot of my books lately, but those series are definitely staying.
