  1. I completely agree with you on all of these phases. It’s especially hard to move on and accept an unsatisfying ending to your favorite series/trilogy.

  2. I cracked up reading this!! 😀 I always have a hard time accepting a book I love is over. I always need at least a few days. Last week, for instance, I couldn’t start a new book because I was still bookhangover from the last one I finished… on Saturday! lol
