Medium Lady Reads Pt. 2 Extending the love of your book after reading the last page

Hello, hi! Have you ever finished a book and felt the empty space it leaves behind in your life? Either the writing, the characters, or the plot line contributes so much to your sense of happiness and satisfaction that when you come to the final chapter you just wonder “how am I supposed to go on?”

 

I don’t know any book lover who hasn’t experienced this feeling- a general sense of wanting MORE after a book ends. And while book endings are a pretty finite experience (the book is in fact over and no there aren’t any extra chapters you ought have missed) today’s episode covers a few activities I find myself indulging in to prolong the experience a wonderful book can provide.

 

Books mentioned:

 

The only books I have re-read! 

The Harry Potter Series - particularly the audiobook read by Jim Dale

Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese

Read Black Girls Must Die Exhausted by Jayne Allen then listen to Episode 22 my interview with Jayne to prolong your love of the book!
