That moment in between books when you feel…. lost and alone
I must always have a book lined up or else I feel lost. If I don’t know what to read, I always go back to the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon as it gets better with each read…and I loved it the first time.
Read a good short story. It helps.
definitely have another waiting in the wings
Don’t ever feel alone. There is always another character out there waiting to befriend you! ?
Oh yes. I get very twitchy.
I’m there, for now.
I always have a back up book ready to read and if that turns out to be a disappointment I have so many books I could revisit!
This is me right now!
I need something light hearted, gripping, that will make me smile and love the charaters
Back when we were Grownups Anne Tyler?
The Library At the Edge of the World.
Mary Kay Andrews is nice to read after a heavy book. Jo Ellen
Anything by Liane Moriarty
Usually what happens is I’ll have four (or five, or six) books on hold at the library, and I’ll be like 99 on the list. I’ll have nothing to read for a week or two, then ALL of the holds will come available at the same time and I have to pick & choose. AGGH!
Yup! Every time!
When I finish a good book, it is hard for me to find the next read. I just started a book, read 93 pages, and put it down as a DNF because I wanted another great read. I tried a few more and I felt the same. I think I will try The Book Thief or A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.
Just finished, “ Britt- Marie Was Here” by Fredrik Backman, lovely
Sometimes I need a little down time in between books, especially when I read something heavy and/or historical.
It’s quite a hollow feeling–a yearning for more of the story. I suppose that’s the mark of a great story.
You can always read it again. It is even better.
Yes ?
So true.
I hate when I finish a book and can’t figure out what I want to read next
I just go to the nearest pile, library or the book case.
Have a stack ready to grab the next one!
Nope. Sometimes I read 2 books concurrently … one a novel and the other a non-fiction. So I never have any time between books!
Never let that time last more than 30 seconds. Too scary!
I aim for over night, but it’s hard ?♀️
I get nervous when my stack is less than 10.
Like for about 5 minutes until I pull out the next one to read. ?
Such a real, true feeling that I have had all my reading life
After a good read I have to contemplate which book to read next. Sometimes it’s easy but not always.
I don’t feel alone, sometimes I feel mobbed. It can be hard to decide what to read next, I just have so many choices.
Yes sort of feast or famine with me, but never go hungry cause you best believe I will always find a book to read, a good one. There are so many great books when I hear someone say, as I have myself, I need a good book, I’m thinking, hey great books are everywhere, open your minds and eyes and hearts.
I have a library in the city, book shelves at home and books on the chair waiting to be shelved and read so I just have to choose.
I always have 4 ordered from the library
And several on hold.
My problem is reading a five star book then your next book is just “meh”. It could be really good… but your still star struck from the last one.
for about 3 minutes until I get a new one off of the shelf
Or as I say ” bookless” unless I hit Barnes & Noble. Favorite place.
Heaven on earth
Bookless may I borrow, Bonnie, good word.
I’m never “bookless.” I alwasy have the next book waiting in the wings. However, I can feel a little let down if the book I just finished was really fantastic.
