*Smidge is currently rereading Cinder and Scarlet so she can read Cress, after which she plans to reread Tintera's first book so she can read the second. She has just finished the complete works of Sara Shepard.
Book series are my favorite kind of books to read. And while I love reading them, some of them get me extremely annoyed. I don't mean when they are badly written, that's just the author. I get angry when the author doesn't put a previously and takes forever to write the book.
Now, I get that things can get in the way, but when you take 4 years to write a book, and then just start the book where you left off in the last chapter of the previous book, that's just plain annoying. I know that some authors do put these things and this isn't a complaint to you, but if you're an author who never puts a previously in your books, I recommend you do.
You can't expect the reader to remember what happened in a book they read years ago if you just drop it off and then pick it up again.

Field Trip Day
Upon visiting her next school:
I mean, what is the world coming to? FIRST gas was, like, TWENTY DOLLARS for a gallon and NOW you have to switch classes every hour in fourth grade, which is like, TWO YEARS AWAY. That should happen, in, I don't know, like seventh grade and gas should be, like, five bucks. It's CRAZY I tell you!
Discussing a Mother's Day Project:
Just so you know, I didn't really think about - yea - you know - the house or anything when I was working on this. It was the only thing I could do, because, like I wasn't allowed to put TIRED EXHAUSTED, MAJORLY SLEEPY or anything. My teacher said no. So, I dunno. I just, like, looked at other words for, like, nice, since I couldn't write AMAZINGLY TIRED or anything, like you know, how, like, it is. I had to do what my teacher thinks is, you know, appropriate. So at the tea, just go with it, ok? I mean, it's not really describing you or anything but I think you'll like it. My teacher does. Couldn't really, you know, be real with her looking it over and stuff.

Day Eight
Smidge Breaks Your Heart:
Dear Mom,
I love you so much because of how you help me with everything, and you are one of the reasons I exist. I hope that we can be together forever like this. If you were never there for me I would ALWAYS be miserable. I hope you will be there until the end. If we are not together until the end I don't know how I will survive through the rest of my life. I love you so much that without you I couldn't live my life happily like I can now. If you leave, I will follow you and if you stay I won't leave town alot. I hope we are together forever.
Love,
Smidge xoxo xo xo xo xo xo xo xo !!!!!!
Smidge, are you worried about cancer?
No. I was hungry and I wanted chicken. Did you know you have to kill chickens to eat them? But they are delicious. And I wanted some chicken for lunch.
