1/17: Do you tend to enjoy spin-off series? Or are you hesitant about them?

OooOooOOOOOooo. Mmmmm. It all depends so this question is a toughie. 

Honestly, I think it depends on the series and the characters being featured. If the series is going to feature some fun characters in a fun town I am allllll about it. If it is a new character or a new town....I am a little more hesitant about it.

What series that you tried this year will you continue?

A hard question for this week! 

I am so bad at series of all kinds. I will try a lot of book 1s (or even a random book in the middle of the series) and then move on and never return. Not because the book is bad or anything but because I don’t care enough to go back. Sometimes I have all intentions, but I won’t look at the book series for a couple of years and I’m shocked I forgot about it. 

 However, there are those series that I legit cannot put down. I will read the entire series within a couple of months (I do try to contain myself and space them out). And then I am left a sobbing mess because I miss the series. 

This is a tough question for me because I am unsure of what series I will pick back up next year. We shall see I guess!  

It's a little Ralph! Adding Ralph was BF's idea ;) ^^^

What are some good series for younger/ MG readers?

I’m not the most up-to-date with young people series, so my opinion is limited. However, from my youth I would say the best book series are the best and I would encourage kids to read them:





Dear America
The best part about this series is that you don’t have to read them in order. They are all separate stories about girls in America during all different times in history. Not only do young readers get a glimpse into history, but they get a good story about someone in their age bracket. 

Those four on the right are my favorites. I could not possibly pick just two ;)














The Royal Diaries
Much the same as the other one. However, these kids are royal. It gives a different view of history from some pretty famous people, but it also shows how much in common we (kids) have in common no matter what station in life. 

So many good ones, but these two really stuck with me. Obviously. ;)

My Name is America

This is pretty much the same as the other two, but this resolves around the young boys in our history. Even as a little girl I liked reading these.

I didn't read a crazy amount of these since I was a girl and all. These two were amazing.
