So happy I'm not the only one lol<br /><br />My big thing with finished series that get spin-offs is that if there is something to write about without a huge connection to the original characters, then I'm all in. It's one of the reasons I love Vampire Academy and Bloodlines. While Bloodlines is a spin-off, you get new characters to focus on, with little interference from Rose and her gang. Yes, they're there, but they're not the central piece of the puzzle. While with Harry Potter is seems that the original trio is still the focus of every new story/info that comes along. I was tempted at some point to read the Cursed Child, but then I kind of gave up on the idea as soon as I read the reviews. So I agree with you a lot!<br /><br />Thank you! Have a lovely day too!Ruby Jo @ Bookishly Rubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08090911698305005499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657999976167833615.post-8692095143847949322018-06-27T01:42:22.269-05:002018-06-27T01:42:22.269-05:00Will you be continuing the series?

It's the series that got me through most of my exams, if you can imagine. I do recommend reading the first...9 or 10 books, because they were good. I just got to a point where I expected more and got just a little bit less, but maybe it might be different for you?<br /><br />Yes, Harry Potter is just 7 books and it should stay that way. Unless, of course, Luna or Neville get their stories told, in which case I'm all over that.Ruby Jo @ Bookishly Rubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08090911698305005499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657999976167833615.post-67218638835637370222018-06-27T01:35:41.819-05:002018-06-27T01:35:41.819-05:00You should listen to the Universe!

I don't see it around often enough, which may have been why I kind of forgot about about it. The Lunar Chronicles is, much like ACOTAR, a series everyone loved, so I'm hoping I'll enjoy it also. Also, anything that makes me remember Sailor Moon should be good :D<br /><br />Thank you! <3 Ruby Jo @ Bookishly Rubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08090911698305005499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657999976167833615.post-22420376362432180652018-06-27T01:32:03.202-05:002018-06-27T01:32:03.202-05:00Lol The Flux series just kinda fell through the cr...Lol The Flux series just kinda fell through the cracks. I actually think I have only the last book to read. I know the last book I read finished with all the luxen looking at a bright light. Or I'm confusing books? LOL I loved that series, so I am excited for a reread and to finish it.<br /><br />As for ACOTAR...I know it's a fan favorite, but I don't really fall into that group, which makes me kinda sad, because I feel like I'm missing something.
