I’m so glad to hear y’all say that. It’s good to have sisters in spirit!

Definitely NOT alone, Beth! I think it’s partly why I have such a hard time when I can’t find something–the world feels off kilter until I can figure out where it is. And I really need closure in books and in life–wrapping things up is important! As for a series, I agree with Brandy, but would still prefer to have the entire series in hand first because I like to KNOW everything’s going to be tied up nicely at the end! BTW, I think it’s amazing that you can move yourself! That’s a sign that it’s a good story!

You are definitely not alone. I need closure in what I read and in real life. There just needs to be something that tells me what has happened so that I can feel comfortable moving on. Because of that, I sometimes end up reading the last few pages of a book by a new author I’m thinking of trying when I’m at the book store.

I need closure too!! When I read I want books that don’t leave me hanging…….I need to know that everything is ok and that everyone will be fine!! I’m the same in real life as well……I hate being left to wonder!!!

You are not alone. When reading or in life, I have to have closure. One of our cats went missing 3 years ago. We searched for months in the neighborhood and the local shelters, made flyers and placed ads. I still keep one of those flyers on my storm door because I just can’t let go, I didn’t get to say goodbye.
The same in a book, I have to admit I feel that series are okay as long as the author gives a small taste of closure in each book and that the final book has every little thing wrapped up. *G*
