I hope everyone has had a great week! If you ever miss what's happened in the news blog, you can always tune into the Weekly Wrap Up to find out what you missed. Thank you to everyone who responded to my plea for reviews. Don't forget, if you've read a story that you'd like to see featured in the blog, send me a PM. I use one or two reviews a month, so it might take a bit for your review to show up, but it's great to have reviews waiting in the wing, and at least eventually your favorite stories

Another week has ended and it's time to look back and see what happened in the blogs. Before we get to that though, just a reminder that if you're somewhere that practices Daylight Savings, it's time to spring your clocks forward by an hour.

So have you woken up today with a candy hangover? Or worse, for those of age, a real hangover from partying too much? Well time to pack away the ghosts, goblins, ghouls, and drama queens (like that will happen ).   We had a little different week here at the GA news blog for this most festive weeks of the year.   Monday saw our monthly CSR Discussion Day. This month we not only had 1, not 2, but 3 stories, hahahaha (done in my best Count voice). Three stories were up for the month to be read
