Because worse than having too much of a good thing is when the good thing turns dry and repetitive and they STILL give you too much of it. And that trilogy situation is hilarious. xD<br /><br />I think The Horse and His Boy could be an epic movie, too!

Just end it while it's good, why don't you? What's really hilarious is when a series is marketed as a trilogy... and then there's a fourth book.

The first three books were the best. Maybe four. But once Will grew up and became a Ranger, the stories lost something. And then there's the prequels... and the Brotherband series. The stories are definitely feeling all the same. :(Jem Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00283849842223000389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652645226882883505.post-53288684083037793232017-12-04T22:14:20.546+10:002017-12-04T22:14:20.546+10:00*high five for... unread books??* ;) Yeah, Dad'...*high five for... unread books??* ;) Yeah, Dad's awesome. <3<br /><br />Hahahahaaa... we're not talking about NaNo around here. *scowls at self*Jem Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00283849842223000389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652645226882883505.post-22267586716104933462017-12-04T22:07:25.528+10:002017-12-04T22:07:25.528+10:00Alex Rider is a pretty exciting series!

Ugh. BUT ANYWAY!<br /><br />I will always adore Narnia too. <3 I basically spent my entire childhood rereading it ahh!! And I don't like when series go on forever, but at the same time IF it's an author I love, I never want it to stop?? Percy Jackson, for example.😂 (No pressure, but the second spin-off series is the BEST.)CG @ Paper Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954615708675952085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652645226882883505.post-47348039910407930532017-11-28T08:27:21.792+10:002017-11-28T08:27:21.792+10:00I just happened upon your blog, and this is one of...I just happened upon your blog, and this is one of the best book tags I have ever seen!

It is probably my favorite version of Cinderella.<br />I really liked The Lightning Thief but the rest of the series did fall a little flat. <br />I definitely get upset when series' drag out too long. I have the same problem with TV shows. I just want them to tell a cohesive story, not ramble on indefinitely. There are so many series' that I never finished because they just kept going. Ranger's Apprentice is a great example. I call these types of series' "Run-on series" (akin to run-on sentences) and they drive me crazy. <br />And yes, I am a crazy good procrastinator. <br />Great post!The Story Spongehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04327564173858884710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652645226882883505.post-22374768405966607512017-11-26T21:45:56.618+10:002017-11-26T21:45:56.618+10:00*whispers* I haven't read any of those books y...*whispers* I haven't read any of those books you said you haven't, either.
