    Great wrap up and yay for reading so many books from your physical TBR! The Pumpkin Spice Cafe was 3 stars for me too, although I would say I enjoyed it overall and would recommend it! Just not anything mind blowing as far as writing or characters go, haha that’s for sure. The Great Alone definitely has some heavier subject matter, and I think Kristin Hannah tends to pile on the trauma, it happens in The Women too… So I feel you there, I’m glad you liked it though! Beach Read is such a fun one ❤️ And I really want to read Heartless Hunter!

    • @Jess_U_and_Books

    I recently read The Pumpkin Spice Cafe and it was definitely a classic cozy romance! Not anything mind blowing and I’ve already forgotten most everything about it, but it has the fall vibes for sure haha. Ooo yay, Beach Read is definitely my favorite Emily Henry! Also loved The Great Alone (set in ALASKA 😂). You may need to sort through that TBR jar, haha… I’ve been wanting to read A Tempest of Tea for a while so I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it if you get to it!

    Nothing but Blackened Teeth is the worst book I’ve ever read! The writing was too pretentious, waaay too many similes, nothing scary ever happens, the characters were horrible…I can literally keep going. Lol! The only good thing about this book is the cover.

    It’s only the first few In Death books where there is someone connected to her is a suspect or killed. Apparently it was supposed to be a trilogy, but everyone liked the characters and settings and wanted more, so she expanded the cast and the story. I haven’t read past 25 or 30, but up to that point they were getting better and better. (Still fun and easy reads though)

    What are the odds! I hate books with movie covers so much that I just posted a video review of a book, that was made into a movie, and I wouldn't show the cover of the book. I wrote the book title and author on cardboard and I showed that along with the Back of the book. And my main reaso besides just hating movie covers, is that the movie stars Tom Hanks and I didn't want comments about him or the movie. Is that selfish of me? Also, I want to form my own visualization of the characters in the book on my own. In my own head. I don't want to visualize an actor as I read the characters part. So what's the odds of me seeing your video. Booktube is amazing! -James

      I’m pretty sure Emily Fox (here on UA-cam) said it was one of her favorite books last year. It was so good!! Just also infuriating at the same time 😂😂

    I've read Magnolia Parks recently and even though it was toxic, I couldn't stop reading it! I gave it a 4⭐in the end due to the repetitive back and forth, but the writing itself was easy to devour.

      OMG, SO TOXIC!! But I definitely fell in love with the setting and the characters and can’t wait to read the rest 🤦🏻‍♀️😳😂

    I listened to the audiobooks of both Falling & Drowning and they were good! I think the audio made them feel atmospheric & suspenseful. Uh oh about House of Flame and Shadow! I've read the first two Crescent City books but was waiting for the third one to be published in the small paperback edition... but maybe I don't need to bother 😂 Because of the end of Sky & Breath I went and listened to the whole ACOTAR series on audiobook, and I didn't love them... but I do have Libby holds on the TOG audiobooks... maybe I should give up on SJM books 😅

      I may have to check out the audiobook for Frowning :) I love ToG (I've only read 4 of them, though), but I haven't ever listened to any of her books on audio. I think SJM is great if you're just getting into romantasy, but maybe not that fabulous if you'd read fantasy for awhile.

      @@Jess_U_and_Books ToG might be more my kind of fantasy from what I can tell, so I'll stick with it! I think you are right about SJM books being good for those getting into Fantasy, especially Romance readers. (I'm definitely in the camp of the longtime traditional Fantasy fan ✨😅)

    I loved the Outlander tv series! Except like season 4 or 5 where the green screen scenes were crappy 😂 I managed to read the first book, and possibly the second and then fell off the bandwagon. They are definitely a lot of work to stick with them, but the tv series is better.

      I'll eventually watch the show, but I can't ever see myself attempting to read the books again! Haha.

    I love the shopping with a friend and there are multiple copies so that means a buddy read!! Awesome haul!📚 I like the way you share a bit of what the book is about or the reasons why you got the book or what you liken it to. I enjoyed Station Eleven and then really wanted to read Sea of Tranquility & The Glass Hotel, and did! Hope you and your friend enjoy your buddy reads! Friends that read together stick together... right?! 📚😁

      Thanks so much for the compliment! We had such a great time shopping together and hopefully soon we'll be able to start some of our buddy reads!
