So, there's this book. It's in a series I really love. And because I couldn't get hold of it for a while, I read around it. I know, from the book after it, that a main character dies in this book. (I partly wanted it to see how).
This week, it arrived from Bookmooch. I did a little wardance of delight around the room, and then sat down to read it.
And... I have a problem. It's not the writing. It's beautifully written. And the story is great. But.
But... she's really sick. And if I keep reading, I know she's going to die and I'm going to be sad. And I DON'T THINK I CAN DO IT.
This, incidentally, is why I avoid spoilers. This is why Vicky's had to promise to sit down and watch a certain SGA episode with me, because unless someone forces me to I can NEVER GET BEYOND THAT EP. I mean to. I WANT to. I keep watching the eps leading up to it and... doing something else before I get even close to that ep. Because I'm a wuss. And I know I'm going to be sad. And it's REALLY HARD to do it.
