The best part about books — at least for authors — is series. They allow a bibliophile to get really addicted. They have to continue reading because it’s more a necessity than a want. So to cap off this month I’ll get right to it — the best book series out there.

Dr. Seuss and Shel Silverstein sparked my fascination with words, along with evenings with Wheel of Fortune, but it wasn’t until a couple of series that I knew what it was like to be obsessed with reading. Goosebumps and The Baby-Sitters Club entered my life around the same time and each caused hysteria not only for myself but for a lot of kids at that time. For those who were old enough then, remember the feeding frenzy that were book fairs?

Books are one of the original forms of entertainment. Learning to write really changed the game for societies. Storytellers no longer had to remember every detail, plays could be put on a stage, and today we have things like movies and TV to fill our voids. All of that wouldn’t be possible if books didn’t exist. So that’s why I had to pay homage to the grandfather of entertainment. Let’s get this page-turning month started.

Whether it’s anime, superheroes, TV favorites, or ones they love from the big screen, there is a vast array of characters to choose from when it comes to cosplaying, and I think that’s part of the fun — that and being able to take on the look of someone or thing you admire. That’s why I had to give this area an entire month. Within the confines of October we’ll talk to a cosplaying couple, one of the pros, explain the difference between cosplay and Disneybounding, and count down the best characters to dress as.

TV has always been a way I escape. I could watch hours of Queer as Folk and forget they were simply characters on a show and not people with real life problems. I took on their drama and was able to let mine slip away during those marathons. That’s one of the many reasons I am head over heels in love with television, but when it came time to decide how I wanted to present my personal attachment to the subject, I thought the only way how was to point out 10 episodes that made me not only fall in love with the small screen and appreciate it, but connect to it.

So we’ve made it to the last week of our collecting feature and we had to talk about the fandoms out there that people go nuts over. We’ve seen that some like Lauren have a number of loves they collect and others, like our Disney pin couple, are focused in on one thing in particular. No matter what or how you collect, the most important thing is that you love it. So let’s get to the fandoms out there that seem pretty priceless to those who indulge in them.
