Random Thoughts: When a Book Series Ends

What inspired this post was how the Delirium series just came to a close. I loved that series and the characters so much. Not that I don't still love this series whole-heartedly but now I don't have new books to look forward to. I invested like three years into loving that series. So what do you do when a book you love and have been following for a while now ends? That is the question I am trying to figure out. 

EpicReads says saying goodbye to a book series is like going through a breakup. Which I can't really say if that true not. What I do know is that when a series your very invested in ends you become very sad. EpicReads calls it a book hangover because you want to move on but your still stuck in the last books world. I think each person needs to find there own way that they get over a series. You should always still love it but you also need to find a new series to love equally for the next few years.

I've been going threw all of this this past week. For me I usually finish a series but then I try to read a new book quickly so I don't have to think about my loss. Now I'm still in emotional trauma trying to cope with the fact that there is no next book to wait for. I'm trying to find a bew series that I have read the first book in and loved. Well so far all I can think of is The Madman's Daughter. 

So how do you deal with favourite series ending?

  1. Ugh, when Hunger Games ended I practically went through withdrawal. It was kind of pathetic. Pretty much, my friends and I would just talk about it nonstop, and we watched the movie about three times. Also, I looked up books similar to HG, but let's face it...most of them can't compete.

  2. I agree. I hate it when a series I have read and followed through depths of releases and stalking constantly for the next book to come out, and it ends. TT ^ TT I kinda just stop reading for a while and think about the whole series for quite a few days. I mope around and look depressed. And when I do start to read again, I just have to compare it to the books...even if it's not even the same idea!

  3. I feel you! It really hurts when a book series ends. That's how I felt with Harry Potter. I feel like I've lost a long-time and very close friend. I was in denial and had a separation anxiety. At least I have the movies, books and tumblr to remember. I always remember them through some of my bookgasm posts. It will always be in my heart though. Haha. I'm being a cheeseball! But that's how I felt and how I love books!

    1. Yeah it is really hard. You don't know what to do next, because you just lost a part of yourself.
