I miss the days of reading entire series by one author. As a reviewer, I try to read what gets sent my way, so choosing isn't always an option for me. Still, I do enjoy the vast amount of books I get to read, and it does help indie authors. Plus, I end up reading a lot of genres I might never have indulged in. I say indulged because some of them are really good, and I never would have known they'd be so fun to read, if I hadn't gotten the review request in the first place. It's all good as long as we keep reading, right Jo?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-31844805454104111772014-05-15T08:30:05.774-04:002014-05-15T08:30:05.774-04:00In this case it's amusing because of the way t...In this case it's amusing because of the way the stories are written, but normally I agree with you.
