    20: Series Finishers!

    The prompt for this episode is: I haven't thought about that series in forever! **There are spoilers in this episode.** Sabrina circled back to Up in Smoke by Annabeth Albert Marianna wrapped up Sanctuary with Kings by Kathryn Moon Haley and Kristen were delighted and awed at their ability to return to a series after a hiatus. It takes true talent, and often a reread of the previous books to do this.  We definitely dropped some recs in this episode, and Kristen will try to update the notes with them soon. But you know, time will tell, friends! Don't forget about the TBR Book Club this month! We conned Haley into reading Impromptu Match so that we can squeal about it on pod. Let us know what you want to hear about on Instagram, Storygraph, or at our email: thebusyromnivores@gmail.com. We are hosting a read-along, buddy read, and book club over on Story Graph for that episode, so go drop your favorite quotes and notes! Subscribe for more late episodes!! (What even is a schedule?)
