If you’re anything like me, you’re a complete fanatic over anything with a good story line that (might) last me awhile. However, because of my obsessions, I’ve noticed a few subtle differences between how we react to TV shows versus the same events happening in books.
Love triangles
In TV shows:
ALL. THE. FEELS.
In books:
Not again. . .
Meeting “the One”
In TV shows:
I SHIP IT.
In books:
If you bring up his bangs one more time. . .
Changing perspectives
In TV shows:
NO. WHY?!
In books:
NO. WHY?!
Let’s face it–we don’t like being taken out of a character’s perspective once things start getting good.
Passing of time
In TV shows:
*notices nothing*
In books:
Wait. . . What happened? What if something that happened the past two months was important? Did someone rip part of my book out?
Cover art:
In TV shows:
Wait, I’m sorry, it has cover art? The ones on Tumblr or IMDB?
In books:
If I see one more half face or ball gown on a cover. . . Get creative, people.
When they decide to make a movie
In TV shows:
We cannot do this again.
In books:
YES. YES. YESSSSSS.

Haha, I definitely recognize myself in this, especially when it comes to the love-triangles and meeting ‘the one.’ I guess images make it easier to deal with these things than in books, where you watch details more closely.

I know, right? They really must.
