tune

huh

I also get this feeling when I finish a TV show

it gone now

Was it Mockingjay?

Nah but I had the exact same feeling when I finished that too

I think everyone had that reaction to Mockingjay, tbh

Make a new one to fill the void!

I feel like that every few months.

Ha ha. You have no idea how many times I have had that feeling. The feeling where you read the last words of a book series and slowly close the book, contemplating the ending. And you still hunger for more of the story so you make fanart, look up theories, anything to satisfy you, but nothing helps. You are trapped in a state where the whole world seems mundane compared to the world of your story, and it's all you can do to keep yourself from curling up in a ball in your room and crying, thinking about just how great it would be to be back in that story. And if you try to cover the pain with a new series, it won't help, and you won't be able to get into the new series because of that residing pain. Auuuugh!!! Worst feeling in the world…. I am dreading the moment when I finish reading Oathbringer and I'll have to wait another few months or years for the next book to come out… bleh.
Wait… what book was it?

The Ruins by Scott Smith, it was really good. I read all 500 pages in a couple days.

Oof. If you need a new series to read, I have like a zillion suggestions.

yEs please

Okay, you may have read a few of these, but here goes.
The Sisters Grimm by Michael Buckley
The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer
Renegades by Marissa Meyer
Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson
Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson
Alcatraz vs the Evil Librarians by Brandon Sanderson (trust me it's a hilarious book. Don't judge it by it's title.)
Skyward by Brandon Sanderson
after reading all those Sanderson Books I STRONGLY suggest The Way of Kings. Don't be daunted by its size.
Artemis Fowl by Brandon Sanderson (Also great on audiobook)
The Rangers Apprentice
and after that The Brotherband Chronicles
The Underland Chronicles by Suzanne Collins
Spirit Animals by an assortment of authors (the audiobook of this one is REALLY good too)
Caraval by Stephanie Garber

Soooooo…. I'll leave it at that. Oh, and if you haven't read Harry Potter, you better read that cause it's amazing. (But I am pretty sure you have read it, just because it is incredibly popular.)
