Am I The Only One?

When I look for new books to read, it can take me minutes, hours, days, months, you get the picture.
It completely sucks because this means I can be stuck in a reading slump forever. Why does it take me so long to pick a book? Let me tell you.

First off, I like to read series. It keeps me entertained and hooked where as a stand alone ends too quickly. I have thins quirk of mine though, that the series needs to have a little romance but the most important thing is that the ending needs to be resolved. There is nothing more frustrating to me when a series is left with an ending that's left hanging, left up to the reader, or just unresolved. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I also would like for the series to end with the main character ending up with the love interest that I was rooting for, yes I know that's not up to me, but I can live without this. What I can't live with is when the author kills the main character in the last book. WHY?? Why would they do that? I invested so much time and emotions, I have fallen in love with these characters and then BAM they snatch it away. AHHH it breaks my heart.



So there's a few series that I'm considering reading. They have all the issues I described above but sometimes it's worth it... and sometimes it's not.

Between The Devil and The Deep Blue Sea Series- the ending is like a cliffhanger...

The Raven Boys Series- this one kills me, because we all know what needs to happen. And it kills me. I don't know if I can emotionally get through that, so I don't want to fall in love with these boys and then just have it all fall apart.

Uh, I sound crazy but I love my books and I don't want to be heartbroken. Am I the only one who gets this invested in what they're reading? Or am I just crazy?

 What should I read?? Help!!
