Mid Year Book Freak Out Tag 📚

I’ve watched and read my fair share of mid year book freak out tags and I am so excited to do one of my own this year! I’ve hit a bit of a reading slump in June so my reading has slowed down a bit over the last few weeks. I’ve read 18 books so far and I’ve enjoyed a lot of what I read so I have no complaints.

Did you finish the series?! I'm starting book 3 and I'm not sure how I'm going to handle it. 😅
I have not, sadly. I’m hoping to get back to it and finish the series soon.
I will die on the Ravyn Yew supremacy hill ❤ A lot of people were saying that the romance was a subplot and not very important to the story, in my opinion, while yes the books were very plot driven, the romance was very important and nicely enmeshed in the plot Maybe it just wasnt enough "Bam! Romance in your face!" for people But I feel like it was just there all along without interrupting the plot, which I appreciated even more The characters actions were very much driven by love (*cough* a hand for a hand *cough*). They did everything for each other In the second book, while I really missed Ravyn and Elspeth and wish we got a little bit more of them at the end, EVERYTHING Ravyn did and risked was for her, he even says it at the end Also the writting style is just chef's kiss, so beautiful and poetic I am officially a fan of Rachel Gillig and pre-ordered her next book, so excited to see what she's got for us next I let one of my friend borrow both of my books and I am so glad she is reading them (she is really enjoying them too) but home girl is taking her sweet time reading them and I have been dying to reread them so I need her to hurry 😂
Welcome to the club! I'm glad I'm not alone! I think what I loved the most was the slow growing yearning between Ravyn and Elspeth. I'm SO looking forward to Rachel Gillg's next book too! She's become an auto-buy author for me too .(:
I’ve been meaning to watch your channel for about 4 months now and I’m so glad I finally did! I really like your style and I’m very similar. I’m also an extreme introvert and loner with plans on starting a BookTube channel. AND my aesthetic is the SAME…. Books everywhere, one shelf, but with several dogs rather than a cat. Definitely lots of snacks. Great video and I’m going to watch many more! 😊
Thank you for watching! I’m happy to find another introvert online! Happy reading ☺️
I recently read One Dark Window and loved it! Love Ravyn and totally agree with your reasons for why ❤️ Just started Two Twisted Crowns last night and can’t wait to see where it goes! I really like The Nightmare (his sassiness is truly the best) so I’m definitely enjoying where the story is going. Love the ensemble cast and family dynamics too!
The nightmare and his sassiness were definitely one of my favorites parts too! I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying the series! ☺️
You’re not stupid. I had the same experience where I felt lost a few times because of the plot building. But overall a great read.
I love chatty vlogs that are a little chaotic, they really are like a snapshot of life 😊
Thank you! I always worry unplanned vlogs will come off as disjointed lol
Thank you for talking about your work situation. So tough - hope you found the video good for letting off steam. I enjoyed hanging out with you
Thank you for listening, it definitely felt good to open up and be able to articulate what I couldn't months ago.
I'm almost scared to read it now with how many people reviewed it as not good. I wonder if skipping it and just reading the third would be better
I think if you’re really invested in the series/characters, you should definitely read it! But if you’re a more casual reader of the series, you can definitely skip and just wait for the third book.
I just stumbled on your channel and I really love your content. I think your content is so refreshing and chill lol
Thank you ☺️
Love your review! Its taking me slower to get into the book as I was obsessed with the first one but your review is making me excited to keep reading.
Thank you! I’m glad my review is helpful! ☺️
Thank you for this! I'm starting Reckless and needed a kindof recap.
Glad I could help! I hope you enjoy Reckless! That’s the next reading vlog I’m working on. ☺️
I can relate to feeling anxious about showing my apartment in videos. It is old and in need of upgrades but I've made it very cozy and to my taste and I love it. Especially since I own it. But I still feel like people will judge it because its old and tiny.
Super understandable! As long as you’re happy with your space, that’s all that matters. ☺️
Dad not daddy, lol, come to momma 😂
Lmao I’m fascinated and terrified simultaneously 😅
I finally got to start reading this, I'm on chapter 27 and I'm thinking Tait has something to do with the darkness in the land. He has a chip on his shoulder and doesn't respect the king. Or granny might be involved, too? I dunno.
Lol "Do you like that? Do you want more?" 😂
Immediate ick 😂
@cynthiainthewild Can you please read and review The Elementals of Iona duology? I can't find ANY reviews.
@@thegrapeescape87 I haven't heard of that series but I'll look into it! 🙂
I actually really enjoyed Vincent's character. I'm only just now starting this book, I just finished the first one. But I like all of the lessons Vincent taught Oraya and how they always pop into her head on situations. I think even his lessons speak to his personality and his life and concern for Oraya and her safety. I was so upset when he died 😭
You will definitely love the second book then! We learn so much more about Vincent and his past, I hope you enjoy it! It’s definitely a ride. 😭😂
i love this video !! youre great !! 🫶🏾
Thank you!! ☺️ ❤️
Thank you for the no spoilers book review! Have you read spark of the everflame by Penn Cole? I would like to hear your thoughts!
I haven’t! But it’s definitely on my list! Have you read it? If so, what did you think of it?
@@cynthiainthewild I haven’t started it yet but hear it’s really good! Im trying to hold out for the final book of the series to come out this year before commencing!
@@klynp1347 If it helps, the first and second book are a duology, so you can totally read those two prior to the third book coming out. But I hope you enjoy them whenever you do decide to read them. :)
What are your favorite romance tropes?
I would say I’m more into fantasy romance tropes than romance based tropes bc I absolutely love enemies to lovers, one bed, fated mates, “touch her you die” kind of tropes lol what are some of your fave tropes?
I wasn't allowed to read Harry Potter either! You're the only other person here who's talked about that. Hi, just joined the community.
Glad you can relate! Have you read the books? I read them fall of 2022 and absolutely fell in love with HP! The movies did not do the books justice at all imo lol and welcome! ☺️
👌🏻❤
I’ve been having the same debate in my head regarding reading the Bridge Kingdom books that are on KU after finishing AFIIB! 😄
If you read them soon, please let me know what you think of them! I have other books I want to read first lol
I keep seeing everyone talking about Heartless Hunter! It sounds intriguing.
I really liked Heartless Hunter. There were some things I was the author did differently, but I still think about the ending and am so excited for the next book!
Totally agree about the Emily Wilde series, it’s way better in physical format!! I soft DNF’ed the audiobook for book 2 in the series for the same reason but ended up reading it physically and giving it a 4.75! Definitely recommend trying out the series in physical format 😊
Omg that makes me so happy to hear! The physical books are so pretty but the audiobook was just putting me to sleep. I’m excited to dive back in soon, I’m glad I’m not the only one who struggled with the audiobook. ☺️
@@cynthiainthewild Yeah some books just work better in physical format and I guess this is one of those! Hopefully you’ll be able to get into it more once you try again 😊
Ahh your review of Half a Soul makes me even more excited to get to it!! I gotta read it in April, haha. And I recently read and loved both Crescent City and Ruthless Vows so it was interesting to hear your thoughts! Totally can see where you’re coming from even if my experience felt a bit different. I’m reading the second CC right now and I’m not super invested or hooked yet like I was with the first one, so we’ll see 😆 And I actually enjoyed Ruthless Vows more than Divine Rivals but I think it’s mainly because of the mythology and magical elements being explored more than the romance, which is what I wanted in Divine Rivals! Love Iris and Roman but it felt like things happened too fast in the first book so I appreciated that there was a different focus in book 2.
Definitely let me know your thoughts on Half A Soul! I was so pleasantly surprised but books are so subjective lol And how funny! I was nervous to even bring up the fact that I DNF’d them bc I was so looking forward to Ruthless Vows but that’s because I’m so invested in Roman and Iris, so the mythology and god wars just kinda made me lose interest. And with CC I always hear so many good things and I just can’t get into it lol but I’m happy that you liked them! Hopefully the second one picks up for you and maybe I’ll give it one last try later this year. 😂🤞🏼
Can’t believe you have not gotten any love; great content!!
You completely made my morning, thank you! ☺️
Girl! I definitely feel you on the loner lifestyle. I feel most at peace in my little reading corner AT HOME and I panic when people try to invite me anywhere. Like let me live my life 😂
I'm glad I'm not the only one lol happy reading (in peace at home without others pestering you 😂)!
Newbie here ❤❤
Happy you’re here too! 💖
I’m also new to BookTube! I like a lot of the genres you mentioned too, really loving all types of fantasy lately. Looking forward to your videos 😊
I absolutely love your username! And thank you, I'm looking forward to more of your videos as well. 🙂
@@cynthiainthewild aww thank you!! 😊
I just found your channel and am loving it. You have such lovely energy.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! ❤️
Belladonna, that sounds familiar… No, I’ve checked I have two Belladonna adventure comics. That’s not the same. lol. But your version sounds interesting as well.
My Belladonna is a fantasy novel lol so not quite an adventure comic but I’d like to think still interesting. ☺️
Love your ghost pillow 💜📚
Thank you! ☺️👻
I was surprised by how much I liked Fourth Wing despite the issues I had with it. I’m heading into Iron Flame now with a bit of trepidation. 😆
Same! Any book that can put me in a book slump for more than a couple days has earned its place. I hope you like Iron Flame! I found it a bit exhausting.

Hi Cynthia I liked your presentation style so I subscribed. Welcome!
Thank you so much! ❤️
Welcome to BookTube from another introvert. In my experience, the BookTube community is a nice and friendly one. So there is hardly any judgment I think. I did hear from a bigger booktuber (CriminOlly) that the only negative comments he did get were not from book people, but more from people who did get his video on their feed and weren’t interested in books. The comments were mostly about his teeth. So nothing to do with the actual content of the videos. Yes. lol. I also love the old professor look. But without the food splattered around. lol. But I do love cracked spines.
Thank you! And yes, I am patiently awaiting the comment from someone about my appearance lol I’m considering printing it for fun. But yay!!! Another spine cracker!!! I’m not a fan of dog earing but I love cracking spines. Weird little double standard. But I’m happy to be here, thank you for your kind words. ☺️❤️
@@cynthiainthewild yes, I'm not a dog earer myself either. And I don't write in my books either.
Amazing video - I love your vulnerability and energy!
Thank you so much! ❤️
Welcome to Booktube and congratulations on starting your channel! I'm a romance writer but I have some bookish content on my channel each month.
Thank you! Happy to be here. ☺
Welcome to booktube, Cynthia! Fellow introvert here. 😊 I’m totally here for bookish friends too and can relate to wanting to use my new channel to stretch myself and grow. 🩵 I’m reading HP for the first time right now! I’m on book 5 and I love how imaginative the books are.
Hi! 👋🏼 and thank you! Good luck with your channel! ☺️ I sometimes feel like I very much missed out on reading HP as a kid but at the same time, they were still so magical and fun as an adult. I’m happy to hear you’re enjoying them as well!
Hello and welcome to booktube! I love the confidence you exude. I still feel so shy and awkward talking to a camera, so youre definitely kicking butt there! Im always down for a buddy read if we have anything in common that we both want to read 😊 I do enjoy a good mystery/thriller.
Hi! Thank you so much! It’s still a weird feeling but I try to imagine I’m talking to a little, square friend lol and definitely! Buddy reads might be what I’m looking forward to the most. ☺️📚
@@cynthiainthewild Yes! Someone advised me to pretend I was talking to a friend rather than the camera and that has helped a little bit 😊
@@thatgrimreader looking at the lens is still so weird 😂 but as long as you’re having fun, that’s all that matters. ☺️
@@cynthiainthewild Oh yeah, I still can't look it in the "eye" haha. I'm sure we'll get there in the end 😀
