Re-read. Wanted something short and quick to re-read, mostly to boost up my challenge number (blah blah, oh well... it's been a rough reading year, okay? haha) and I dug out a few of these books from some boxes out of the storage building. I'd read and own nearly the entire series (about nine or ten books, I think) some eight or nine years ago around the time I was just starting to really get back into reading YA again. At that time, I was not quite so critical of what I read. I also didn't blog either, though I was in sort of a book club. I loved these books. Almost obsessively. Now, not so much. It's painfully obvious how much I've grown as a reader. Eh. 
 Not that there's anything seriously wrong with them. Just some silly insta-love for the most part. I would still recommend the series ahead of many others, I'm sure. And the installments are super short, so it's easy to knock out ten books in less than two weeks if you're obsessed with a reading challenge. ;)
