I know there hasn't been a review posted in a while, and I apologize to anyone who may actually read this. I have been reading, but I don't write a review for everything I read. I recently read
The Wall at the Edge of the World by Jim Aikin which was so spectacular but I simply couldn't form the words to adequately write about the book. It also left me depressed for a week. Sometimes good books do that. Also, my reading slows way down in the Fall, without question. I read, but it just takes me much longer to get through a book for some reason. But never fear. I'm reading a paranormal romance/urban fantasy that I've been taking notes on that I fully intend to review (I like to have a variety on here) and I should have it done soon. I just peeked toward the end and realized that a big chunk of the end of the book are appendices, like anyone cares what the author's playlist was. Anyway, I have a quote I nicked from a Cracked article that sums up my feeling on finishing a really good book pretty well:
“You know
that feeling when you finish a really good book, and you're just goddamn empty
inside? If you could measure exactly when kids turned the last page of the Harry
Potter series for the first time, I could probably extrapolate a pretty
mean graph plotting the demise of childhood around the world. Finishing a good
story is devastating. Because there's nothing more addictive than a good story,
and just like any good high, it's going to be brutal coming down.”
I'll see you soon and happy reading!
