Book Spoilers
I seem to have very few issues with looking at wikipedia for spoilers of TV shows I’m watching. BUT, I have found that spoilers for books I’m reading really hurts me.
Not to the point that I stop reading it, but book spoilers set me right over the edge and make me a little sad.
Does anyone else find that?

Okay I'm not sure if you take book recommendations but please read "Me Before You" by Jojo Moyes. I finished it in two days and its one of those books that puts your emotions through the ringer you get sucked in and truly feel attached. I just finished it and spent the last two hours crying and just having that feeling you get after an amazing book. Its a story about loss and love and everything in between. Please read it and recommend some books that will make me feel better! Thank you!
OMG I JUST SAW THIS AND I’M SORRY YOU WENT THROUGH THE PAIN.
It’s such a good book tho!! I cried, made my mother and sister read it and they cried… it was a good old crying fest.
A good book to get over that particular type of book-hangover is, in my opinion, to re-read a book that has very little to do with what you’ve just read. For example, I might re-read The Lunar Chronicles or Harry Potter. Just so I can cleanse my palate with something I know I like and then move on from there.
Its not a very good or really helpful recommendation, but that’s just generally how I’ve fixed my book-hangovers.
Always Reading
- Tris: "I was reading."
- Sandry: "You're always reading. The only way people can ever talk to you is to interrupt."
- Tris: "Then maybe they shouldn't talk to me.”

As I go to bed
- Me: I'm going to bed. I've started a new book, actually, you might like it Momma.
- Momma: How many does that make this? 4?
- Me: *smiles* Five.
- Momma: Lord.
- Me: What!
- Momma: How do you do it?
- Me: I donno. I just do. I love reading, so if you'll excuse me...
- Momma: Reading is 62 times.
- Me: GASP MOMMA!
- Momma: *laguhs* Go read your book.
- (A brief clarification. In my family when some one says 62 times, it means its really bad. You dont' want to be 62 times in my house.)
Okay. Here’s the deal. I need a real in person book club or knitting group in order to get me out and meeting with physical people on a regular basis. I’ve looked on MeetUp and there is only one in my area and there aren’t really any in my area of Southern Connecticut.
I’m willing to drive up to an hour away if it means that I get to meet with people who are doing something like this. Literally ANYTHING would be great.
If you have any suggestions or thoughts please let me know. I need human interaction that isnt’ my family or work.
crap
I hate/love finding that I missed a new book being released into a series I like. Its a love/hate thing because of reasons:
- money, no matter what, I will have to spend money on this
- work, the job i need to keep me in money also prohibits me from reading at my leisure
- time, the stuff I don’t have enough of in a day
Mostly, the problem is that I WANT TO READ THE FECKING BOOK NOW NOT LATER THIS WEEK WHEN I HAVE THE TIME.
Eff.
Give me a book, any book and I’ll rate it
Never again | Ugh | Eh | It was okay | I liked it | I really enjoyed it | Loved it! | OMFG | I died from love | Never read it | Plan on reading it | Will look into
