After my recent GIF-inspired post about writing a six-book fantasy series, I decided to crowd-source the next one about reading a fantasy series. Thank you to all the readers on my email list who contributed GIFs! You guys get me. Soooo glad I’m not the only one.
From Srishti:
When you know you really shouldn’t start another series but can’t help yourself.
From Camille:
When you’re too involved in your fantasy world to worry about the kids…
But they don’t listen, so…
(True story: The other day I looked up from reading a book to discover that my toddlers had been helping themselves to the fruit bowl on the counter…and FIVE APPLES each had one bite taken out of them. #itsfineeverythingisfine)
From C Lantis:
Me conversing with my homework after I’m caught reading the latest book in a series:
(This is me but with washing the dishes…)
When you can’t put the book down so you read it on your Kindle app while walking down the street and hope people think you’re just texting:
(Why yes, this is from personal experience and no, it did not end well…)
When you finally take a shower and get dressed properly after binge reading all weekend…*gasp* the transformation is magical! (Now back to the book.)
When you stayed up late to finish the latest book and there’s no way it can possibly be morning.
When it’s time to stop reading and tackle the housework. For real this time. REALLY.
And on that note…goodbye for now. 😉
