Then you have to wait like a YEAR for the next one. I too am a digital reader so throwing my kindle would not be beneficial. Hopefully you don't have to throw any books in the future!<br /><br />Brittany @ Spare Time Book blog<br /><br />My post: http://sparetimebookblog.blogspot.com/2013/07/15-day-blogger-challenge-day-4.htmlBrittany Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941804886954871372.post-30861030129071637802013-07-11T19:06:16.290-04:002013-07-11T19:06:16.290-04:00I so agree with you- cliffhangers seem like a cop ...I so agree with you- cliffhangers seem like a cop out most times - like they just wanted to prolong the series, and that feels so unfair to me!

But what I love more is waiting until a series has been completely released so that the cliffhanger ending only lasts as long as it takes to pick up the next book in the series. It helps. Somewhat.<br /><br />And I haven't heard anything about this book. But "absurd" does not bode well. I would hate to invest all this time in a book to have an ending that just isn't believable. Oh my gosh I totally would have flung the book!Rachelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941804886954871372.post-66879185216880190712013-07-11T12:02:00.413-04:002013-07-11T12:02:00.413-04:00Ohhhh the cliffhangers!!

It's a cheap marketing ploy to try to practically bully the reader into buying the next book. <br /><br /><br />I always get nervous when someone decides not to read a book because of my opinion, even though in this case I feel quite strongly that the ending was ridiculous. But I can't even bring myself to encourage you to give it a try in case you would like it! lolDonna @ The Happy Bookerhttp://happy-booker.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941804886954871372.post-24793024304674146952013-07-11T07:17:09.712-04:002013-07-11T07:17:09.712-04:00A legless chair, that's a perfect analogy.

I'm thinking of getting a list of all cliffhangery books and boycotting them! lolDonna @ The Happy Bookerhttp://happy-booker.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941804886954871372.post-65644962329819499482013-07-11T04:34:19.572-04:002013-07-11T04:34:19.572-04:00hello new bestie!

You're right - series fiction can totally be done WITHOUT making each book a freaking legless chair that can't stand on it's own! Ticks me right off. I don't fling books...but I have a friend that does haha.Pabkinsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941804886954871372.post-36612283858025675282013-07-11T02:15:54.079-04:002013-07-11T02:15:54.079-04:00I hate books that aren't standalone.

It needs to have a beginning, middle, AND end.<br /><br /><br />Amelia Anne is Dead and Gone was on my TBR list. I'm writing all kinds of books off my TBR list tonight...shame, I really like the concept.Lizzy Lessardnoreply@blogger.com
