When desserts start hanging out with ravens

I have just finished reading the second book in the raven cycle series by Maggie Stiefvater, the Dream Thieves. Let me warn you. Letting this series pass you by and go unread will keep you happy (the-blissful-ignorance-kind) but at the same time, you will be cursed by what could have been one of the best books you-could-but-did-not read.

6 days ago, I started reading the Dream Thieves.

5 days ago, I finished it.

Now, I am dying inside.

I tried reading another book to replace the heartbreak I felt over finishing the second one. It did not work. Or maybe that's because the said rebound book was also of Maggie stiefvater's. it was the Scorpio races. Like I said, it did not work so here I am now typing my heart out.

It will take atleast a year for the next one to be released. 240 or so pages simply do not cut the 6 months I have waited for the 2nd book. I need more. I can't read other books without randomly bursting into tears whenever I remember gansey, or blue or the other raven boys. Oh Gansey! (Cue sobbing here). I tried. By I just can't. Maggie stiefvater ruined me for other books. Maybe in a few more days, I'd be able to start reading again.
