dive into a book series and don't come up for air until they have finished
every last one. Ephraim Guerrawas a fan of the A-Z Mysteries and loaned
several of his books to Soumil Sarmah. Ephraim is currently reading
the I Funny series. Looking for a good series? Here are some current and former fans of popular
