#LetsDiscuss2020 #19 – Reviewing Sequels Out of Order – Let's Talk Bookish #2.

This article was inspired by the Let's Talk Bookish topic hosted by Rukky @ Eternity Books and Dani @ Literary Lion, for the week October 2-9, which is:

SHOULD YOU REVIEW A SEQUEL WITHOUT READING THE FIRST BOOK?

"When selecting ARCs do you ever choose sequels where you haven’t read the first book in a series? Do you think it’s fair to review a sequel without the context of the first entry in a series? Do you take someone’s review seriously if they mention they haven’t read the preceding books? Should reviewers even be allowed to do this?"

#SomethingDifferent 3 - Another Poem by The Chocolate Lady!
