It sucks when your favorite book series ends. If you aren’t a book nerd, but know someone who is, this guide will help you understand what they are going through.
Yay! The final book in your favorite series just came out!
Everything is going so well. All those good feelings start flooding your heart as you read the first few chapters.
You’re halfway through and things are going great! You ignore your friend’s advice to take things slow – who cares! You’re in love! How could anything go wrong?!
You become so involved you shut everything else out. Only you and the feelings you have for the book matter.
Then suddenly – it ends. Right away, you mostly just feel like crap because it’s all over.
So you cry.
And cry some more.
And you think there’s no possible way for you to ever love another series ever again.
Your book club / twitter friends give you words of encouragement.
So you pick yourself back up knowing that maybe one day, you will love another series again.
And boom! When you least expect it, a new series comes into your life and sweeps you off your feet.

Depends on the series ending. Most of them I adore but there have been some that I tossed and ranted over about because I didn’t like it.
I tend to have mixed emotions, I am happy that everything has conlcuded and there are resolutions of some sort for everything, but I am also sad, because it is all over and there will be no more stories or anything. Also, I always hop ethat there will be a continuation of the series through, another character(corny right?), or something like that. Anyway, always mixed for me. :-/
I read so many final books over winter break. Maximum Ride Nevermore, Endlessly, Forever, Endure…..
I wanted more. I want a spin-off series! I did cry because I loved the characters.
YES!! All of these!! I think this is the reason why I still haven’t finished some of my favorite series, because I’m just sooo not ready to say goodbye yet, even though I’d dying to know what happens. =/
OMG! This is all true for me!
Love this! It is so true! The advantage of a series ending over a relationship is that you can always come back to the series with loving memories… not so much with the ex!
Lol, I think this kinda summs it up… I have serious bookhangovers! But then anothers serie comes around the corner, and I’m good for a while again
It does, sometimes, depend on the series. Like for His Dark Materials, you bet I cried. I actually kind of look like that first crying gif every time I think about the ending too… But for the end of the Twilight Saga? More like :/ though that’s probably because I wasn’t much of a fan of Breaking Dawn.
What I hate most about finishing a series for the first time is how you can never go back to the crazy anticipation you feel when you read it the first time around. While I love re-reading and noticing all the little details I didn’t the first time, etc… it doesn’t beat that first moment of jumping into a world or finally getting to that ending that ties up all the knots and questions you had.
I always feel like a part of my soul dies whenever a series :’(
That’s basically what happens to me, except when I’m nearing the end, with about three chapters left, and I can feel that I don’t really have much time left, I sort of freeze up, and then I think to myself, that if I read the same sentence over and over again the book will magically get longer. And then when it’s over, I cry, before picking up the first book of the series and starting it all over.
It’s a never-ending circle of doom.
YES! EXACTLY YES! It’s why I can’t bring myself to read the last book of the Beautiful Creatures series. It just stares at me and makes fun of me because I’m too scared to read it.
Super accurate! I can’t even!!
I just finished the Across the Universe Series by Beth Revis and I’m having the blahs. I have other books to read. Great books. Just got The Archived today. But I need a bit of a mourning period. Goodbye Elder. Goodbye Amy. Godspeed!

I can relate to this so much it scares me.
It really depends one the ending of the book. Most times I cry, I just love the books so much. WHY MUST IT END??.
And sometimes i just rant, because the ending just pissed me off.
This is definitely super true! I mourn when a series is over. Well until the next visit to the bookstore.
Funny. Dawson always makes me laugh.
I so deeply, completely understand this post. I’m like this with almost every good book I read! Hilarious.
Story of my life!!! lol c:
Cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened. Then call my bestie to discuss.
OMG this was completely me when I finished “Thirteen” the final book in Kelley Armstrong’s Women of the Otherworld series!!! LOL
Very cute post!
