This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Two books left, so far. Previous was released over a decade ago. I think a next book is possible, but two?

I bought the last one on release date, and I have no clue where each character is right now. I'm not reading the books again, and I don't think a summary will make me care again.

Yeah I've given up any interest. If another book comes out, there's absolutely no reason for me to read it. Like you said, the last book is over 10 years old. So you'd have to re-read the entire series to catch up. Then you'd read the new book, only to be confronted with the same problem for the final book. I ain't doing this whole thing again in another decade!

At this point, he'd have to release both books at once for me to have any interest in reading them again. And we all know that ain't happening.

Yeah those books are never coming out. The absolute best time for them to come out was when the show was still in its prime. But universally people hated how the show ended, it's dropped out of pop culture completely, season 8 has become a verb much like jumping the shark, and given how long between the books interest says waned. There are other books, there are other authors, and there's just generally other things to do.
