I appreciate when people discuss books they dislike. If I have read them, and also dislike, it is affirming. If I disagree, I love to hear the discourse and explore that. As I don’t have many people as bookish as me, it is needed! I am learning how to truly DNF still (completionism + FOMO). “Sometimes my silence is better for everyone involved” is a word and a fact. Girl, stick to reverse harems, those are the only “poly” books that are worth it.
When I'm ready to DNF a book, but still want to know how it ends, I'll read 1-2 sentences of each paragraph until I finish the book. I used to try to find spoiler reviews for those cases, but they seem few and far between.
Yo you had me cracking up! I dislike when ppl don’t talk about the books they didn’t like. In my mind they just like every damn thing and I can’t trust their judgement cuz they gonna recommend everything they read lol
Where Sleeping Girls Lie cover made me think it was going to be a horror novel. I liked it ok but it wasn’t what I was expecting. It was more of a teen mystery,I compared it to a 13 Reasons Why x Pretty Little Liars mashup.
Scooby doo mystery was a good analogy for Do What Godmother Says. I felt the same about when that character came on. I was reading like oh it’s gotta be someone else cause this too easy to figure out 😑 but I just kept saying it’s him girl, what are you doing?! 😂 I’m gonna read Bad Influence still, I’m easily entertained so maybe I’ll enjoy it 😂
😂😂 she was soooo dumb! Like ain’t no way your ancestors went through alllll of this for you to fumble this whole thing 🤦🏾♀️ Definitely check out bad influence for sure. It just wasn’t for me 😩 let me know if you end up liking it!
lol Keyona you are funny! I absolutely agree about the Dandridge Monroe book. I think it was supposed to be a dark mafia romance and as I was reading it I was like no this is not lol. So glad I wasn’t the only one.
Ah yes okay thanks for clarifying! It’s like this whole first book was set up for the rest of the series 🤔 Baby don’t waste my time like that because now I don’t care no more what happens to these people since you gave us nothing in book 1.
Dang came out the gate swinging lol I liked Red Roses and Regrets but I will say, I went in with no expectations and I was just pulled in from the drama at the start.
😂😂 There’s a reason I’m wearing a hoodie dress! You know what? Maybe because it was so hyped I came in with a certain level of expectations 🤔 Did you read book 2?
@ I have not! I think I read another book by the author, though, and it was fine but not a new fave and I honestly don’t remember which one it is so there’s that 🫠😂
@@ChocolateCoveredPagesHave you read Just for the Cameras by Viano Onomioh? I'm not super well-versed in polyamory, but as far as I can tell, I think this book did a better job of representation.
I have not but I have that and a few of Viano’s other books on my list for this year! I remember EVERYONE was reading that at one time and that made me go in the other direction 😩😂 Happy to hear you liked it!
L.S. Stratton's book was horrible. I hated the FMC she was an air head and the audiobook narration was atrocious!!!!!! Lord Have Mercy!!!! I'm just glad to know it wasn't just me LOL 😂 although it was an insult to Scooby-Doo 😂
Omg I FORGOT how terrible the FMC’s narrator was. Just like her. DRY!!! I mentioned it in another video i complained about this book in 😩 sorry to Scooby doo 🤣
“Why the hell wouldn’t we?”
Dead 😂😂😂
That was the most asinine thing I had read on Threads that day because first off…don’t tell me what to do 😩
@ exactly 😂

Yes agreed!! Every time I read a reverse harem….it’s just sex. I tend to like some plot with my sex 🤭
@ hmmmm you not wrong…I’ll put you on if I can remember one with a strong plot!

@ such a good idea! Wiki usually has a full synopsis of a book if you are looking. My issue is just feeling like I quit.
This is a dope idea! 💡

Exactlyyyy. It always feels mad fake to me!

Correct!! If I had known that I wouldn’t have picked it up at all. Now if they make it into a little mini series I’d watch 😂
Your honesty is so appreciated.❤❤❤
That’s all I can be! Thank you for watching ☺️

@ChocolateCoveredPages lol right!
👀ma'am you know imma romance girlie~ adds Take the Long Way Home to cart and thank you 🤣
😂😂 And you know what? I could see you liking it! Because that was actually my only issue is that I was Bamboozled 🤷🏾♀️ it’s not a bad story at all.
0:12 😂😂 no fr! Speaking of loving a good kidnapping, have you reading the Stolen Billionaires series by Miss J (Endiya Carter)?
No! Should I? You always got the good recs. Second…I didn’t know Miss J was Endiya 😳
@ my favorite compliment! 🥰 so i hope you don’t take it back after this lol, but yea, it’s a 3 part series!
I had a big book disappointment last year - but I don’t want to talk about it. 😝
🤭😂 oh man I want to know now…okay whisper it 👂🏾 Or at least drop the author name and I can maybe figure it out

@@ChocolateCoveredPages lol
Not 🗣GET THE SWITCH!🤣 I can't stand when they waste a fire cover on a lame book.🤦🏾♀️
Seriously!!! Wasting our damn time 😒
00:10 - literally what an odd thing to say
So bizarre. I’ve come to the conclusion that people on Threads sometimes say anything.
Midnight Rooms had such a great cover, unfortunately I dnf
Right?! I did the right thing…it just didn’t get better smh
*Do What Godmother Says* was so boring!! I DNF’d it. I agree that the historical part could’ve been its own story.
Soooo boring. I had high hopes because the cover was good.
You look so disappointed in the thumbnail 😂 here's to better books in 2025!
😂😂😂 there’s actually not that many but YES much better books in 2025 and DNFing much faster
