1. Counting down the exact number of days until the movie.

4 months and 29 days till #The5thWave

This level of vigilance: necessary.

2. Waiting anxiously for the trailer to come out so we can have a taste of whatever unknown epic-ness the movie will hold.

Sums up my life 😩😂 #the5thwave pic.twitter.com/6hzWkqvJ3c

Our too, Äsh, ours too.

3. And then having occasional hysterical freak outs about potentially missing the trailer.

what if:

THESE ARE SERIOUSLY TERRIFYING REALIZATIONS.

4. Desiring to express our love for the book in utterly gorgeous aesthetic fashions.

Seriously, we need this tutorial video yesterday.

5. Being in total awe of any behind-the-scenes movie photos.

Real forest, fake forest, as long as it brings out the creepy feels we had in the book.

6. Remembering what it was like when we first started The 5th Wave.

when you like a book so much you buy the sequel before you finish the first one #The5thWave

#Twins.

7. And never forgetting the first time we finished reading it.

Just finished reading #the5thwave and 😱😱😱😱

It’s going to be OK, Ryan. Go find The Infinite Sea and come back to us when you’re ready.

8. Never getting over how much we love our favorite characters.

Cassie is not only a strong female character, but she’s sassy and hilarious. I love it. @RickYancey #The5thWave pic.twitter.com/iSWjUkJqyS

Ugh, she IS the best. So is Evan. And Ben. And Ringer. And Teacup. And everyone. OK we’ll stop now.

9. And preparing to see them brought to life…as well as having major feels about it.

We may have to have a nice peaceful meditation session before going into the theater.

10. Last but not least…remembering that the story isn’t even over because The Last Star is coming out this spring!!

.@benparishz yes I have. It is cool. I like it and so will you.
