Broken Heart, Shattered Soul

So for all of you who know me, you know my life revolves around books. Books. A simple concept; A container filled with pages upon pages filled with: letters, words, sentences, paragraphs, chapters. One of the greatest inventions in the history of man! That is to my point of view.
My books mean a lot to me. Through them I've improved my reading, picked up new skills, escaped the harshness of life, and made lifelong friends. In one word they are irreplaceable.
Well today while checking what's up in my favorite authors' life (you know release dates, appearances, and the like) I noticed that the title for Jim Butcher's future Codex of Alera book had been released. First Lord's Fury. Oh such a wonderful title! *floats* That is . . .
Until I read the little note above. It said that this was the sixth and final volume in the Codex of Alera series! I literally teared up, and felt my heart physically break, my soul shattering into a thousand pieces. Leaving me in a fragile state. I could hardly breathe and my eyesight turned dark and fuzzy.
Luckily Maritza was online to let me borrow her heart glue. That barely did the job, so we had to up-grade to hot glue gun. But still I feel like a part of me will never be the same. I'm sure I lost part of my soul, and it will only ever come back whenever I reread the series.
Even though everything seems fine now, it isn't really. I remember finishing Harry Potter. The first series I ever got into, and actually went on to collect. My world was turned upside down. My one solace was that Codex of Alera was there for me in the forthcoming times. And now . . .
It's gone . . .

I know I am being dramatic, but just like Harry Potter, this was a series I'd been committed to for a prolonged amount of time. I think I've been reading it for like five years! I remember spotting it in the library and thinking, "this is gonna be good!" I was right, and I went on to buy his latest editions. I'm still missing the 1st and 2nd book, but I practically have them memorized by heart.
Since Harry Potter 2 of my trilogies/series have ended. The Mistborn Trilogy, and of course the Twilight series. Both were sad occasions, but they didn't cause the same amount of pain. I guess because I was ready to let go. I mean I have 2 authors that will provide me with ample book material, but then again they release in June. Of course I'm talking about my number one favorite authors' Lynn Flewelling ( who I've actually met :D) with The White Road, and Brandon Sanderson (who I almost met but was 2 sick to see) with Warbreaker.

I just hope that by the time December comes I will be ready to let go. . .






I was listening to this song the whole time plus it has Ron in it! It doesn't have an official vid :(
