I've been debating whether I'm counting the novella that goes with Sorcery of Thorns. I don't usually count extra material on my number, but it's the only other thing in the series right now! Good job finishing some series too, you have more than me!

I always love hearing about the series everyone started and to see where everyone is at by the end of the year 🫢 I definitely am trying to finish as many series as possible before the end of the year because I'm a completionist 😂 I keep most companion novels as individual because they don't have a huge connectivity to the plot so there's less stress & I don't need to remember the plot as much! This year, I've 7 series! Though a slight cheating because of couple of mangas, and 5 that is caught up with a couple DNF'd series. This video reminded me to go back and update my tracker for the series so thank you for that!

Wow, those are a lot of series. lol Great recap of your year in book series. 😊

Best wishes for 2025, I hope you get some great books and fantastic stories! Happy reading!

Great video, it made me add some more books on my list!!!

Great video as always! I’ve read Earthseed, Prison Healer and a couple of firsts, working on One Dark Window (60% I think) and The Winners for Beartown! 💜 Read Stolen, which is the first of a trilogy, and maybe there’s another one that I can’t think of 😊 I would love to hear your favorites of the year, any other wrapup/review and of course goals for 2025 if you have any! I want to get my stats for 2024 in order before I set new goals, but it’s a frustrating order 😂 Oh and congrats on 500!!! 🥳🎉

First... congrats on ALMOST 500 -- I'm sure you'll have hit it by the time you see this 😍 I might have to take a look of your mystery/thriller picks because I've been wanting to read some *good* ones. I'm most interested in Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone 🫢 I have no idea why I though Emily Wilde's was literally an encyclopedia 😭 I have no idea what I expected in it, but I thought that was what it'll focus on in an encyclopedia-style so I haven't thought about picking it up but now the way you described it... it might be added 👀 10/10 Beartown recommendation is my go to rec for the Winter now. It's so perfect LOL.

There are a few on here that I would definitely recommend to people myself for the winter! Specifically No Exit, The Great Alone, and Beartown..winter vibes galore (although all in a very dark and serious kind of way). Great video!

So many great recs! I really want to read Six of Crows next year - it sounds so good 😍 Also you're so close to 500 subs!!!!! So exciting!

You look so lovely and Christmasy!! I’ve read rock paper scissors, the setting is so creepy and defo a good candidate for winter themed books! Can you believe I still haven’t read six of crows?!!! It’s so high on my list and whenever I watch your videos I’m like omg I need to start it

I see Rock Paper Scissors mentioned often. Your summary actually encouraged me to prioritize it!

Your earrings are so cute! Okay I only read one Alice Feeny book (Paris apartment) and I didn’t like it very much! Maybe I should give her another chance. Omg No Exit sounds so scary good! Fantasy is perfect for winter too, I agree!

I love your earrings! I'm not a big thriller fan but Rock Paper Scissors is intriguing me 👀 I can't wait for the 3rd Emily Wilde book! I do need to read Beartown now that everyone is raving about it 😅 I just don't want to start ANOTHER series right now 🫠 I am so ready for xmas/winter time- though in LA its a little sad 😂

I was originally planning on reading The Winners this month, but I think I'm pushing it to January. I'm excited to get to it, though. I haven't read Somewhere Beyond the Sea yet but I want to!

I've heard so many good things about One Dark Window and I really want to read it! It sounds so interesting! I'm so glad you liked it overall. Agreed about Backman's one-liners! Sometimes he just has these little lines or phrases where I just have to set the book down and...think. He's SUCH a good writer. I've heard such mixed things about Butcher and Blackbird. I'm kind of intrigued by it though!

So many good recs! ❄️ I think this will be the winter I pick up Emily Wilde! I also really want to read the Six of Crows duology, but I hear mixed opinions on whether or not you should read the Shadow and Bone trilogy first..would love to know your take on that?!

I absolutely adore the Winternight Trilogy 😍 Katherine Arden is now an auto-buy author for me 🤗

Great recommendations. 😊 When you mentioned "A Christmas Carol", I remembered watching Mickey's Christmas Carol when I was little.☺

such good recommendations!! the only one of these i've read is everyone in my family has killed someone and I thought it was so fun! lots of these are on my tbr for this winter so this has made me even more excited! especially looking forward to beartown :)

I just got Rock Paper Scissors! I’m excited to read it!

I really want to read the Bear and the Nightingale! I think it looks perfect for winter. You know I'm recommending Lovelight farms for a winter romance - it's so good!

nothing better than a cozy christmas book!

Can definitely second Beartown! No Exit sounds so creepy but very interesting, I might save that for when the snow has melted and it's not pitch black from 3pm though ^^

I enjoy light horror in particular. Thanks for sharing your list in that genre. I'll have to check out those titles.

I have missed your wrap up videos! Hi friend 😊 you had such a great fall reading season and I loved hearing your thoughts on a lot of these! One Dark Window I loved too and this makes me want to reread Bear Town 😅

It was so fun doing the buddy read with you, and I'm so glad that you liked the Thirteenth Tale! I'm on the fence about reading the Spellshop - the cover is so pretty, but I'm not sure it would work for me.

Loved hearing your thoughts on one dark window!! And completely agree. I reaaally need to get into Brandon Sanderson your videos always remind me that I am clearly missing out 😂 and aww your kitty in the background! 😂 bear town is on my TBR and I didn’t know there were lots of pov’s which I love! And you’ve officially made me want to pick up butcher and blackbird 😊 this was an awesome reading wrap up!! ❤

I do not know if I should try the Spellshop. I think I would feel exactly as you felt. Cozy is nice but it is not a five star 😊😊😊 One Dark window has been on my TBR for a looong time. Cannot wait ❤

One dark window sounds sooo good, you’ve definitely convinced me to pick this up cos I’ve not read many gothic books but this sounds like a good introduction to one!! I’ve actually just finished watching Gilmore girls for the first time, and Emily is hilarious so I’m sooo going to try and listen!!

I can’t believe you found a book in your state! That seems like it would be so hard 😂 but so glad you are ready two twisted crowns! I love that duology soooo much 💖 I hope you enjoy!

I'd still love an hour video from ya 😂 Now I really want to start One Dark Window!! It sounds so enticing. I'm so jealous at your high rated October 😍 Especially with Beartown? Now I'm so excited as I start reading it. Though I'm only on like page 10 at this point. But I'm mainly here for your B&B review!! It was a super fun time, for sure. It was so surprising about the fact that the "TW" felt intense but Weaver did an amazing job writing it without making it gory or a huge focus on the dark aspect of those warnings. You're never a hot take. I love all your reviews and thoughts 🤣Even when you don't like books!! You go into good detail as to why, which gives me good perspective on books that I may or may not enjoy. Also thank you for saying your throat get hoarse because I thought I was the only one 🥲 By the end of all of my wrap up, I feel so winded and lose my voice 😩Sometimes, I feel like it's a me issue. But maybe our voices just can't handle talking lots if we're not used to it (aka me)

Great wrap up. 😊"One Dark Window" Sounds interesting. I might pick it up in January, or whenever it's available on the Libby App for me. lol☺

This was such a great wrap up video! I want to read Rewitched now! I agree that ODW is one of the most unique books! The whole synopsis is so fascinating and dark. I loved it and I'm so glad we're buddy reading TTC! I need to listen to The Third Gilmore! I don't rate memoirs either. I will be trying Ninth House again, but will not be listening to the audiobook per your suggestion. haha

🎉 great books 📚 great channel 🎉

I had written half a]my comment and then I accidentally started the next video as this ended 😭 Anyway! I was saying that I got HP vibes from Rewitched as well, and the ministry of magic, the sense of humor was also similar in some ways. I haven’t read as much other fantasy as you have, so I didn’t want to make that comparison, like this has magic it’s like HP 😂 but I agree the vibes were there! The second book won’t be a sequel though, it will follow another character and have a theme of people pleasing. There might some overlap, it’s the same world I think, but probably not a deep dive into the romance with Rune! I’m so happy you liked so many of the books! And it was really interesting to hear your thoughts on some of the popular books. I just filmed my wrapup and book club video on Us Against You today and I feel like I missed saying some things, but you had a lot of good points. I didn’t connect as much with the second book, but it was still good. I imagine it was different to read when you have children as well, a lot of parent aspects to the story. Glad you liked O Caledonia as well 😊

I am reading both Beartown and The Spellshop this month!!! I'm a little worried the Spellshop might be too "cutsey" for me... but we shall see 😅

I feel like I am more a fan of Brandon Sanderson's standalones so I might have to pick up Warbreaker! What a great october reading month- so many cozy and fun books! Especially for it being such a hard time. I feel the same about Ninth House- it took so long to finally get going its was all over the place for most of it 😂 I just bought Hell Bent though since it seemed like it would have more of a plot 😅 O Caledonia sounds super interesting!

Happy reading in December, looks like you have some really good option there.

Great list. I can't believe it's December already! I'm still catching up with my list books for the year. 😊

Great tbr Chelsea! I really loved Two Twisted Crowns. I thought it was even better than the first book.

Ahhhh what a cosy month you’ve got ahead of you!! Such a good mix of genres, I still need to read one dark window but I’ve heard such good things about it! 🥰

Nice

ThankYou!!!! ....I LUV SHADY HOLLOW!!!

the way my jaw DROPPED when you picked up the winners and it was an actual brick 😂 Shady Hollow is one of the cutest coziest books ever and perfect for reading this time of year, I hope you love it!! Can't spell treason without tea looks like a perfect cozy book, happy december reading!

I've had Shady Hollow on my TBR before but didn't get to it - I can't wait to hear your review! Great picks all around. Two twisted crowns was so good!

Okay but yeah, The Winners look THICK. I'm still on Beartown 🤭 I agree with using the prompts to "reinforce" the reads that you're planning to read. That'll just give a lot more relax vibes for the month too! It seems like this month TBR jar is really in the vibes for what you're looking for 🥰 No real plans for December for me again... I'm barely even reading in November because of all the holidays 😂
