[~~~Sue~~~]

quick question:
A book and its prequel
what does that mean? Is it a book that is written and later a prequel is done so it is like book .5 or something like that?

[Destiny]

Update: 1213

13. A Self-Improvement Book: Leave Your Mark: Land Your Dream Job. Kill It in Your Career. Rock Social Media.
3 stars: It's an easy read that really explains how to land a job, how not to speak to employers, how to create your brand, etc. It ventures outside of the world of fashion (her world) and is applicable to most professions. Definitely a good gift for a college junior or senior.

[Stephanie]

Update: I just finished my book that takes place on an island! "Jurassic Park" by Michael Crichton, and what an island it was. I now have 22/40

[Cassandra]

Sue, that's right. A book that is marked as 0.5 in a sequel (or you could do in-between books like book #3 and book #2.5).
