Serial Format: Book Series

A series of books like the Hunger Games or Harry Potter shows serial format because it is a continuing story line. Instead of having parts of one book there are multiple books, so its more like larger parts of a long storyline, like TV shows, or a movie series. Dickens has a long book that he separated into sections and he put out another section like every week, so people would have to wait for the next part of the story. That is the same with book series. When people read the first book of a series when it first comes out they will have to wait until the next book to find out what happens next in the story.
