![Friday Reads | middle grade gem, captivating non-fiction, still mad about Dr Who [CC]
PLEASE HELP ME NAME THIS SERIES.
I am 1) not creative and 2) indecisive, so please give your two cents on what I should call this Friday Reads-style weekly wrap up video, which will (more than likely) not be posted every week and may happen on Saturdays or Sundays. Here are the options I came up with:
- Sunday Summary
- The Weekend Round-up
- The Smorgasbord
Please also suggest something else if you have something better!
