The goddess text series i loved the first and second book and i couldn't wait for the third book to come out i memorized the release date and everything and when i read it i was a little disappointed by the ending because it wasn't as good as i though it would be.

Even though I started reading Harry Potter after all of the books were out, i was borrowing them from a friend and I couldn't wait for the next day of school to get the next book. I knew that the seventh book would be crazy and couldn't wait to read it. I felt like I couldn't finish the sixth book fast enough! I loved the ending, especially the epilogue. When I saw the final movie, I was really excited and loved it but when it ended my friends and I felt emotional that there wouldn't be any more books or movies.

After reading Angel, the second to last book of the "Maximum Ride" series, I found I only had to wait a year for "Nevermore", the finale. I was really excited since this was my favorite series at the time and when I found out a year later the publication date was to be postponed 6 months I went crazy since I couldn't wait! So after a year and a half of waiting, I read the book and it was action-packed, fun, and crazy but then the last chapter was absolutely disappointing, ending the series on a big question of life or death.

Clique, but The Hunger Games. Each book came out and I would sit down and read it all the way through. I love the series and the end pulled at my heart strings.

I couldn't wait for the finale of Grey's Anatomy season 8. They did a huge promotion and I was so anxious to see what would happen.
