"If you find a book that looks interesting but is part of a series, do you always start with the first title?"
I always start with the first title. I hate to feel like I'm missing something.
What is your usual monthly book budget?
Not much on books - Way, way too much on shipping out giveaways to others, I don't even want to add it up... it's better I don't know the total.
