Welcome back to Would You Rather Wednesday! I am not sure this is an actual thing yet, but I am going to make it one…because I can. First I want to mention that I got the idea from Krystyna (Turning the Pages) and her weekly bookish meme challenge. I took part in her post last week, but Wednesdays work better for my blogging schedule, so I created my own weekly challenge meme. I hope that you all enjoy it!
Would you rather (9):
Read a book with a cliffhanger ending or read a book with a heartbreaking ending?
This is a tough one. I have read books with both types of endings. I suppose that a heartbreaking ending at least I know that is the end and I can properly grieve but with a cliffhanger, there is a chance to continue the story. If I enjoy the book I would much prefer a cliffhanger because then, despite the agonizing wait, I know there will be more. I will be once again to enjoy the characters I had grown to love.
I guess, in the end, I would have to choose cliffhanger. Waiting is hard but grieving is much harder, especially if your favorite character meets their tragic end.
What do you think…which would you choose?
I also would choose the cliffhanger ending! I hate when books end and I know that I will not have anymore adventures in that magical world.
The tragic ending would make me grieve twice as hard as just an ending. Not only is the book over but something bad happened. My heart could not take it lmao
Thank you for this fun little series. ?
….yes! I completely agree
I like finite tales. I am not a sequel lover unless the story-line is amazing. So for most stories, I will take heartbreak.
That makes sense! Some don’t like a series and that is perfectly ok. Thank you for your participation!
Heartbreaking ending, 10000%. I don’t like cliffhangers at all. They make me rage.
Waiting for the next one is so hard!!
It’s the WORST! I wish there were more standalones in my preferred genres.
It is nice when you come along a good stand alone!! Refreshing to not have to wait, it has a good ending and you are just content.
Yes, too bad they are few and far between
That is for sure!
