A Map of Days Is Coming and People on Goodreads Have a LOT of Feelings

Hey, you know that special time of year when the release for one of your most anticipated reads is almost here and you’re trying to explain to your friends why you’re so excited like:

Yeah, you know.

So, that being said.

*clears throat*

GUYS.

via GIPHY

The Peculiar Children are returning to our hearts and shelves in LESS. THAN. FIVE. DAYS to grace us in all of their peculiar wonder just in time for Halloween.

More vintage photographs? Check.

More loops? Duh!

More Miss Peregrine? YAAS.

You could say Goodreads was…surprised by the news.

And by that, we mean we’re pretty sure Goodreaders users have broken their caps lock keys or something

Some are LIVING

Others are apparently expressing their excitement from beyond the grave

But most importantly, everyone is staying PERFECTLY CALM.

…Although this poor Goodreads user seems to have forgotten how words work in all the excitement

We’d all appreciate it if you guys didn’t forget how the whole breathing thing works too

Some of you gently expressed that waiting can be hard.

While a few were lucky enough to get ahead of the game

And others have found simpler ways to express their feelings

Hopefully some of you will be able to shake your disbelief before release day

But one thing is for certain.

We cannot WAIT to welcome our old peculiar friends to the modern world.

(Oh, and Instagram appears to be mildly enthusiastic too)
