i love reading and fandoms and getting so invested in books - to the point where you're actively *thinking* about the book throughout your day
i. love. it.
it feels like i'm honoring the 12 year old little girl who lives inside of me begging to listen to One Direction + read Hunger Games + watch the Fault in Our Stars
yes, i was that girl. no, i do not regret ANY of it!
💅🏽
ugh reading!!!!
it's my greatest obsession and, honestly, my proudest one
and i truly, truly, truly feel bad for people who can't enjoy a good book simply because of the worlds they'll never see
the characters they'll never get to know and love!
BUT- because there's always a 'but'
i also forget about the actual pain that one experiences upon the ending of a series
the dread that comes upon approaching the finale
LIKE FOR EXAMPLE:
i am currently embarking on the last ~200 pages of Empire of Shadows
it is SO GOOOOOOOOOD
i am tearing it apart
eating it up
happily watching the movie in my head as i read
ROWAN WHITETHORN CAN BITE ME ANY DAY ANY TIME just saying
BUT part of me cant enjoy it to the fullest extent because i know there is only one more book for me to read immediately following the remaining 200 pgs of this book
do you know what i mean??
can you relate???
i never want this world to end
i never want to stop reading about aelin + rowan + lysandra + elide + MANON + dorian
UGH
how do you cope??? i havent even finished the book/series yet and i am seriously nauseous thinking about it
ugh i am so not ready
thank god tumblr + ao3 exist because i would cease to exist without it
