NeverStopReading

:(

When you don’t start feeling the stress of a book ending until you compare the amount of pages read to the amount of pages left, and the ratio is not in your favour. Don’t end In the Afterlight! :O

I never read Paper Towns by John Green during the hype, but I am finally reading it now--and almost done it :(. Well, a little under halfway through reading it, I realized that--as a grade 12 graduate--it is the most relevant time to be reading this book. 

I am nearing the end of the Harry Potter series, and quite frankly, I am scared. Do you know the feeling where you’ve gotten attached to something and know it will come to an end but are in denial. I don’t want the series to end, but I know that it has to, to complete the journey.

When you add more books to your to-read-list and you still haven’t finished that one book to actually start reading a book from your to-read-list. 

Do you ever feel like you're in this state of limbo, where you stress about school and the exams you know you are going to have to take in several months? And then you stress about the projects and exams that are happening a lot sooner, but are still stressing about the stuff that you shouldn't be stressing about right now which makes you super stressed and in a state of confusion. 

Growing up I wasn't much of a reader, so I never read the Harry Potter series when it was a giant thing. However, now that I LOVE reading, I am reading the whole series! I have seen all the movies before hand multiple times, and I love them so much. It is so interesting to go back and read the books knowing what happens in the movies and then contrasting it to the books now. There have been many book-to-movie adaptations which have been, let's just say, down the pooper; however, although there have been lots of events taken out from the movies that were in the books, I have never felt that it took away anything from the humour and plot development. Also, considering that the movies are already 3 or more hours long, I think if they put anymore details from the books into the movies, everyone's Harry Potter movie marathon would now take a week! 

So now, to the books themselves. I just finished reading the fifth one, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and I believe that it is the longest of the books in the entire series. It took me a bit longer to read it with school and everything, but it was so worth it. I'm not going to go into all the events that happened, because that would take a long time; therefore, you should just go read it yourself. However, I will say that the way J.K. Rowling has been able to get us to attach to these characters so much is incredible. As well as the fact that, even into the fifth book, we still don't really know some characters. I always end a book wanting to know what happens (even though I already do because of the movies), because I find movies can't capture every nuance and wink of the eye that books can. #DumbledoreWink

After all these years hearing all the hype of Harry Potter, I have finally started the series, and after finishing the third book, all I can say is....perfection. These books just make me so freakin' happy that I can barely comprehend this happiness! I'm so glad these books exist because they are a work of perfection.
