The Beginning Of The End…

 

 

I was just sitting here reading and I started thinking about endings. I am a huge series fan, I’d rather read a book series over a standalone novel any time. However, when it’s a series to which you have basically given your heart, it gets pretty hard and emotional to say goodbye.

     2010 was an year when we had a few series ending and at least one more huge one still to come. My heart broke when I read the last line of Rachel Caine’s Weather Warden series, I kept weeping for more when I finished ALPHA, I will forever remember Riley and Quinn’s adventures that Keri Arthur has written so well and let’s not forget the bittersweet ending to the amazing Hunger Games trilogy.

I feel that there are at the very least a few different kinds of endings I have encountered throughout my reading journey. A series can end in a prologue, with a glimpse into the future or simply an extra scene to wrap things up.

It can also end in a cliffhanger, which quite honestly It’s just find mean LOL. I have found that a lot of them end in the present time of the story and just leave to future to be imagined by us readers.

My favorite kind would be the prologue one. I love that glimpse into the future, that moment that you can see that after all that you been through with those characters, you actually feel like you’ve been with them their whole lives and you are now a part of it. 

 One of the series that I am dying to read the ending of is The Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead. I am actually postponing reading Spirit Bound until I ca get my hands on Last Sacrifice and I can read both books back to back.

I don’t really want to comment much on specific series ending, just because I don’t want to spoil it for anyone, but there are definitely some endings that have been more satisfying than others. There is a lot at stake for us fans, we have dedicated our time and money to that series and a lot of times our heart as well. Because of that I feel that we readers, can get easily disappointed and that is absolutely the worst.

On the other hand a series can end in such a high note that you are happy and sad at the same time.

All in all, endings are endings and if you love a book series, you will miss it, but everything comes to an end, right? Right? LOL. 

 

 

 

How about you guys??

Any series ending coming up that you’re just dying to get your hands on?

Random Friday #2 – News & Cover Cravings!

 

 

Hey Everyone! Welcome to another Random Friday here at Larissa’s Bookish Life… This week I kept thinking of things I wanted to talk about but unfortunately I can’t remember most of them LOL

I have a couple things I wanted to share, so let’s get on with it…

First there is a new website online that as a PNR and UF, I absolutely love… It’s the Speculative Fiction Database or SPECFICDB… Isn’t that awesome?? There you can find out all about your favorite UF and PNR authors and books: 

 

 

Secondly, I wanted to share some covers that started popping up this week in the blogosphere and that have me panting for 2011!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aren’t these amazing??

 

 

Last but not least, as you should know by now I have been visiting the US, more specifically NY for the past couple months and I will be staying here until November 29th.

I’m going back to Brazil then, but my return will be short lived, I will be going to Portugal on December 17th to spend some time with my mom and stepdad, by some time I mean almost 3 months, again LOL

So yeah, I will be basically be spending 6 months traveling around… It feels a bit weird, i have this feeling of having no home right now, but it is also super exciting and I’m looking forward to some new adventures.

I will continue with my blogging from there, so things shouldn’t change around here =D

NY or Burst! – My New NYC Adventure & What Happens Next!

 

 

Hi Everyone!  This Friday I decided to do some catching up on what has been going on with me. Well, as you all know, or don’t, I have been spending the last Month in The U.S., more specifically at a friend’s house in Upstate New York.

What started as a 10 day trip in which I planned to hang out with of my best friends and attend the AAD conference, has turned into a 3 month long stay of epic proportions!

 

 

 

 

 

Me, Isabelle and her husband when into NYC yesterday to watch a tapping of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. I got us tickets and me being such a Jimmy fan, I could not let this opportunity go.

 

 

 

 

 

We had a lot of fun despite me wearing the wrong footwear and having huge blisters in both feet, causing me to spend all day dragging myself around LOL.

I was lucky enough to meet and get a pic with SNL cast member, Bobby Moynihan, he was a sweetheart!

Another adventure is starting this Friday for me:

I’m going to the NY Comic Con this weekend and I am so freaking excited! I plan to do a couple posts this weekend about my experiences there, so stay tuned. Oh, and not only I’m going to NYCC, Im also going as Press! Because of this little blog, I was actually approved to received a Press Pass for the Convention! How freaking awesome is that?!

Anyone also going to the Comic Con this weekend?

I’d love to meet up with my readers, Authors and fellow bloggers!
