Bookish Musings: Reviewing Books in Ongoing Series vs. Finished Series

Bookish Musings: Reviewing Books in Ongoing Series vs. Finished Series

Sometimes we read each book in a series as they come out. Other times the books are all released, but we read them all spread out anyway. Other times we binge read all the books in a row.

The Weekly Update: 11/13/16

Well, I'm pretty sure everyone knows the biggest news of the week. Frankly I can't even fathom how this is a real thing that has happened, but the fact is, it has happened. And what's really sad is that Trump hasn't even done anything yet; instead what I'm seeing and hearing about is the people in America turning on each other, attacking each other, threatening each other, etc. People from both...

Anyway, here are the...

Well crap. I don't have any real life news this week lol. I stayed pretty busy, but not with anything that's worth sharing. I didn't even do anything for Halloween, so it's not like I even have that to talk about. I do, however, have some exciting (well, for me) bookish news, so I'll just skip straight to...
