I think that usually my bookish fears come from an experience, like I am usually afraid that the last book in a series will be disappointing, because I have experienced that so many times. <br /><br />Emily @ <a href="http://followtheyellowbookrd.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Follow the Yellow Book Road</a>Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02578346497234781257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2574434425500537211.post-28907203413522181452015-08-23T13:37:23.181-04:002015-08-23T13:37:23.181-04:00I read books when their hype dies down too but the...I read books when their hype dies down too but then I always get that feeling where I'm left out because I haven't read the book yet.

With hype I sometimes wait till the hype dies down and read it later so I feel like the book has less pressure if that makes any sense >< When it comes to your favourite author not so much. I generally really trust them ^^<br /><br />My recent post and giveaway: http://olivia-savannah.blogspot.nl/2015/08/olivia-snaps-1-blogiversary-giveaway.htmlOlivia's Catastrophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706765857201768908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2574434425500537211.post-45194556138184915262015-08-22T22:41:07.156-04:002015-08-22T22:41:07.156-04:00I felt there was a love triangle in the ToG series...I felt there was a love triangle in the ToG series but then there was no triangle in ACOTAR.

Especially with series when there's the potential random extra love interest thrown in... like excuse me but where did you come from? I mean honestly, it's such an annoying way to heighten the tension. Anyway, all your points are so valid and I totally agree with you! :DA.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14885962357135553672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2574434425500537211.post-29644485283721248142015-08-22T20:38:48.593-04:002015-08-22T20:38:48.593-04:00I can definitely relate to the part about reading ...I can definitely relate to the part about reading a new book from a favourite author :) sometimes I'm not just afraid of the quality of the book, but what the author DOES in the book. For instance, Sarah J. Maas is my favourite author, but I'm afraid of specific things she does with *ahem* the romance. I was really disappointed when what happened in the ToG series happened in ACOTAR :(( <br /><br />Fantastic post Alex!!<br />Olivia @ The Whimsical Olivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17869417033522844821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2574434425500537211.post-3360589149698782182015-08-22T11:30:47.240-04:002015-08-22T11:30:47.240-04:00That's a rare case for me because I'm pick...That's a rare case for me because I'm picky in the first place about the authors that I consider to be auto-buy.
