#bookhangover #fridayfunwith451 @451Degrees

1. Dune - after spanning 10,000 years of human history (future?) Book 6 ends on the cliffhanger of all cliffhangers and Book 7 never gets made (not by Frank Herbert, anyway).
2. Harry Potter- read the entire series to my daughter when she was 4/5. Some of my happiest memories are from that time.
3. Slaughterhouse Five - my favorite book. Wish I could reread it for the first time again.

451Degrees I definitely have books that I wish I could reread for the first time again!😩 That could definitely be a superhero option! I tried reading Dune once but didn‘t get to finish it but that would be so crazy waiting for the last book and it never came! Loved Slaughterhouse Five as well! Thanks for the tag💙 4y
The_Penniless_Author @451Degrees I think everyone who's been reading A Song of Ice and Fire is going to end up knowing exactly how that feels, unfortunately 😄 #winterisNEVERcoming 4y
451Degrees @The_Penniless_Author yeah I‘m gonna agree with you on that😬 4y
obviateit Oof, I was just thinking recently that I should read the rest of the Dune series! I stopped after the first book. Maybe not, now. 😆 4y
The_Penniless_Author @obviateit No, you should definitely still do it. In a weird way the cliffhanger might be a better ending than anything Frank Herbert could have come up with. I hate when authors purposely leave things vague because they don't know how to wrap up their narrative threads, but sometimes when you're dealing with these huge, existential questions, a little mystery is a good thing. 4y

AlaMich I think it is more likely that we will wake up tomorrow to learn that there is covid vaccine available to all. 4y
Kimberlone @AlaMich haha for sure. We can only hope #winteriscoming 4y
The_Penniless_Author Just noticed my copy of A Dance With Dragons moldering on the shelf. Can't believe it's been almost 10 years since that came out! #winterisNEVERcoming 4y
Kimberlone @The_Penniless_Author lol I sold my copy to the used book store for store credit years ago...but yes crazy that the entire tv series has come and gone before a new book! 4y

I #dontbelieveanymore. I‘m beginning to seriously doubt this will be released any time soon. I‘m all for giving authors space and time to write. But.... seriously... come ooooon!

Reviewsbylola Lolol, I haven‘t read this series but I‘ve totally felt that way before. 7y
LitLogophile Lol, write the damn book George! I‘m with you, I‘ve given up home. It‘s better to just accept we‘ll never get it and do a happy dance if we do. ❤️ 7y
FantasyChick I know the feeling! #winterisnevercoming 😔 7y

ofbooksandme At this point I actually think they're will never be more books of this series. Like I feel it got off Martin's hands and he s just doesn't want to write it anymore 7y
ofbooksandme Hooooowever, if there's ever a chance it's this year. Without the TV show it's a great promotion for the book and a good way to maintain the interest. 7y
Wife I‘ve read the whole series thus far, and it has been so long that I‘m not even interested in picking up the next book when it‘s available. I‘m over it. 7y
julesG Come on he's not as bad as Rothfuss. 😁 7y
Gharv I‘m with you!!! Please send us the new book!!!!!! 7y
AvidReader25 @julesG Don‘t get me started on Rothfuss! 7y
Kalalalatja @Reviewsbylola it is mildly (putting it lightly) infuriating! 😅 @LitLogophile true, if we don‘t expect anything, we can only be pleasantly surprised! @FantasyChick best hashtag! 👏 @ofbooksandme I think you are right. Whatever GRRM does now, he will forever be compared to the tv series, and most likely get criticised, because the tv series has become canon now.. @Wife I know what you mean, but I‘m a completeist, I need to finish it 😄 7y
Kalalalatja @julesG @Avidreader25 and that‘s exactly why I haven‘t started reading Rothfuss yet 😄😄 @Gharv right?! How hard can it be to write a 1500+ pages of intricate fantasy drama, with multiple characters who have all kinds of weird ties. No big deal 😂 7y
Gharv @Kalalalatja no kidding! 😂😂😂 7y
SandyW I've moved my GOT allegiance to HBO. They've done a remarkably good job, and by the time GRRM gets the next book out I'd have to do a re read of virtually the entire series... I get it's a process, but authors need to be fair to their audience too. 7y
Gharv Everyone, I‘d love to hear suggestions for other series that you consider to be similar to GOT 7y
Kalalalatja @Gharv this might be stretching it, but The Tudors with Jonathan Rhys Myers reminds me a bit if GoT because of all the drama. No dragons though 🤷‍♀️ 7y
GatheringBooks we have exactly the same post for this prompt!!! :) 7y
