The magic system in the crimson moth isn't based on period blood, but just blood with wounds/scars playing a big part which is the reason for using period blood in the book.
YAYY A NEW VIDEO BY JAIMEEE !!! i totally agree with your opinion in the ashes and the star cursed king but you should definitely try to to give the next book a try because it is Mische’s book and i think i might like it better than rain and orayas story but yeahh!!!
I felt middle of the road about the first Magnolia Parks, but I feel like the series gets better as you go. I did like the Daisy books better, but I also appreciate the character development between Magnolia and BJ
Just wanted to let you know that you’re my fav booktuber. Your personality, your taste in books, your video ideas and so on, I just love everything about it. Sending love❤ and books 📚 from germany haha
So excited for you to continue the shadow and bone series Also i could not help noticing en ember in the ashes on your tbr cart, i hope you pick it up the series is SO GOOD 🫶🏻🩷🌷
I have the tendency of binging a whole series and then putting myself in a book slump because my brain can’t leave the world 😭 a lot of these books you showed are on my tbr, I hope to get to them someday, lol great video ❤
I think there is suppose to be a third book to the Ninth House series!! I don't know when it'll come out, but I'm pretty sure I saw that there is going to be one! Which I can't wait for, because the second book did leave off on such a big cliff hanger!! I did read all of the Lovelight Farms books, and while I did enjoy them, they weren't amazing. Lovelight Farms was by far my favorite out of all of them, with In the Weeds being my least favorite, so you're not missing much by not continuing them. I don't actually know how many series I'm in the middle of, but I'm curious now after watching this video!
i am so glad you said that you were not continuing a good girls guide to murder. i feel like the only person who didnt like that book. it was just so far fetched to me and i didnt even really like pip as a character. i dnfed the series with the first book.
Currently in the middle of: 1. Mistborn Trilogy (book 2 - The Well of Ascension) 2. Magnolia Parks (book 3 - Long Way Home) 3. The Bridge Kingdom (book 5 - The Twisted Throne) Dying to start: 1. First Law Trilogy 2. Shades of Magic series Also, waiting for the last book of ACOTAR, which i hope is of Elain and Lucien!
I’m really bad at starting series by reading the first book but then never picking up the rest of it 😭 Series im in the middle of: 1. The Inheritance cycle (book 4) 2. The Licanius trilogy (book 2) 3. The Lunar Chronicles (book 4) 4. Red Rising (book 4) 5. Remembrance of Earth’s Past (book 2) 6. The First Law (book 2) 7. The Murderbot Diaries (book 2) 8. The locked tomb (book 2) 9. The broken earth (book 2) 10. Dirty Air (book 2) 11. Villains (book 2) 12. Maple Hills (book 2) 13. The Poppy War (book 2) 14. The sun eater (book 2) 15. Better than the movies (book 2) 16. The green bone saga (book 3) 17. The handmaid’s tale (book 2) 18. The mortal instruments (book 2) There’s a bunch more but these are the series I’m likely to continue except the broken earth series and the locked tomb maybe 😭
V.E. Schwab has a monthly newsletter where she updates on which books she is currently working on! And I can confirm based on those newsletters that she's been working on both of the series you've mentioned this year
Wanted to add.. I listened to Zodiac Academy books 1 and 2 on audiobook through hoopla. It was a fun listen for the drama, but I agree.. reading would be hard.
@@turkeyrunner712 haha I’m excited for an Elaine book! She’s going to have a different sort of strength that I’m excited to see SJM write. Would LOVE a light purple!
Please convince me to continue Shades of Magic! I read the first one a month ago and I didn't dislike it, but I also didn't love it. I know you're a champion of the series so I feel like you're the best person to convince me it's worth continuing 😂
I understand your issue with the Red Queen Series. I think that Glass Sword is not particularly important, but there are some vital character moments that occur throughout the book that change the trajectory of the series as a whole. King’s Cage is very different, and it may remind you more of the first book. Just had to share my thoughts!
if you read vow of thieves, i recomand rereading dance of thieves, couse you start of where you left off, this way its more clear (i loved the duoligy)
nooo please finish AGGGTM series. Its incredible!!! Especially the 3rd one! Our thought of serpents is funnily opposite. I found book 1 so boring, the ending was crazy but the book made me wanna dnf the series, but my friend told me to push through and ashes was an easy 5 stars for me, like made me glad i committed.
Also Lauren Roberts has been open about powerless being inspired by the red queen! Its funny because i love the powerless series but have no interest in the red queen series eek
Haha and that’s why there are so many different types of books out there for us :) I do know Powerless is inspired by Red Queen, but for me - there’s a line between being inspired vs plain old copying (to specific scenes, to word by word quotes etc). There was just too much that was the same for me! But I totally understand that it’s a really beloved book, so she’s doing something right! But it’s just not for me, and that’s ok 😊
@jaimefok I totally understand that! I honestly haven't read red queen so I'd probably understand more reading that! And I totally understand not continuing!
I DNFed the Leather and Lark. I thought Butcher and Blackbird was surprisingly cute, but I read the first couple chapters of Leather and Lark and couldn’t do it. We definitely need another Ninth House book!
Currently In the Middle of: 1: The first Law Trilogy by Joe Abercrombie. ((A new favorite, I'm obsessed. I will be finishing this month)) 2: Prince of the Doomed City: by Sylvia Mercedes ((the covers make it look like it's a smutty read, but it's really not. No spice so far and I'm in book 4 of 5.. it's cute. I will finish these this year.)) 3: Caraval: I need to read 'Finale'.. i keep putting it off. 4: The prison Healer: I read the first. I need to keep going. 5: An ember in the Ashes: It was so good. why have I not read more? It's been a year.
The commitment tho 😂 i think IG is the only series i binged and actually finished lately. I still prefer standalones bc i pretty much don’t remember anything i read, so series are a struggle. I haven’t picked up acotar in over a year (only got 20% into acomaf), and 3/7 of narnia. And a million series i want to start 🫠
I promise the AGGGTM series gets sooo much better plot wise and character development wise throughout the second and third book (Especially the third book. AGAD is the loml) so please give it another shot I beg😞🙏
I've only read the first two so far - it took me months to decide to pick up the second one because I thought the first was just ok. I really enjoyed the second one! It was super fun and while the stakes were much higher, it somehow felt more believable at the same time. I'm excited to pick up the third!
Last I checked on the Moonfall series was in the comments of one of her posts (I saw this a few months ago, so maybe it’s changed) and she said she’s not sure, but she plans on it being 3 or 4 books
I have so many series i’m in the middle of. I have the sequel of The Atlas Six but i’m genuinely thinking of giving it away because the thought of reading it alone already gives me a reading slump 😂 The other series I have a sequel of is Six Crimson Cranes, The Daughter of The Moon Goddess, Dark Rise, These Violent Delights,.. some i’m going to continue reading but others are still on the table 😅
V.E Schwab has said that she's currently writing "Victorious", the third book in the villains series. I suppose that it'll come after the standalone (which will be published summer 2025). Then she will continue with the fragile threads of power. We'll wait quite a time... (I can't bear it🥺)
There are only 2 series I currently have plans for. I am partway thru Iron Flame and have pre-ordered a special edition of Onxy Storm. I am going to read A Court Of Mist and Fury as a December pick for a book club I am in. I already have the book. There are many series I started and have yet to read the 2nd book. I want to read the sequel to Divine Rivals. Although I found Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faries a little underwhelming, I want to read the 2nd book. I want to read the sequel to This Poison Heart. I have the sequel to All of Us Villains and want to read it. These are just the ones off the top of my head😊
I'm certain i started watching the 'Things we never got over' as a film on the telly once. It definitely started with her going to a coffee shop and finding out that shes 'banned' but its actually her twin sister and then there's a guy she hates and then she finds out she has a niece and then i stopped watching BUT when i bought the things we never got over and read the blurb i was like wait, i watched this plot, but i can not find the film anywhere on google!! it drives me so crazy i refused to read the book lol
@jaimefok well i watched like an hour of it but I can't find it anywhere!! Not under the things we never got over or knockemout or movie based on the plot
Should I finish ACOTAR? I have the whole box set and I loved up to ACOWAR but based on some semi-spoiler comments I've seen I don't think I want to read ACOFAS.
Do it! ACOFAS is cute and cozy for Christmas, perfect for this time of the year actually! ACOSF wasn’t my absolute fav but still had some really good parts to it, and very necessary if you want to continue with SJM other series :)
I’m currently in the middle of The Darker Shades of Magic I’m waiting for the library loan to open up for the third one. Of course Fourth Wing! What the River knows Once upon a broken heart Thursday murder club And I think that is it 😅
I can't be in that amount of series, I will be devastated 😅, for me it's one series and I finish the series before moving to the next😂 I can't handle the stress a d pressure and I don't how u can remember all the different plots and characters 😅
1. The Divine Cities Trilogy - Robert Jackson Bennet. I’m on book two and hoping to finish before the end of the year. 2. Realm of the Elderlings - Robin Hobb. I’ve read her first two trilogies and want to start The Tawny Man but am a bit Leary of returning to emo boi Fitz POV. 3. The Captives War Trilogy and The Expanse series by James SA Corey. I started the trilogy because only book 1 (The Mercy of the Gods) was out so I figure by the time I get around to books 6-9 of The expanse at least book 2 would be finished 😂. 4. Maybe will read more of the Suneater series? I did not love book one (Empire of Silence) but people say it gets better after that. 5. What the Library Hides (Secrets of the Nile book 2) - Isabel Ibanez Some others I’m waiting for books to come out to read are: Book 2 of the Shadow of the Leviathan by Robert Jackson Bennet (First one is the Tainted Cup), the 3rd Fallen Gods book by Hannah Kaner, Books 2 of The Rising Worlds by Martha Wells. There are more but the list is a bit exhaustive. DNFed Beartown series by Fredrik Bachmann. Old Man’s War series by John Scalzi this year. Couple others but can’t remember
@@jaimefok Honestly it was the pacing issues. The first half of book 1 was soooo slow and the hook of the book (around halfway) was so obvious I just kept waiting for it to happen so we could get to the meat of the plot. There were some PoVs I enjoyed but overall too many of them. I felt fine with how the first one ended and didn’t really feel a pull to read the other two. I’m also a bit cutthroat and will axe a series after book one if I don’t like it because I hate the “it gets better in later books so just hang on” mentality.
Love your videos, one question though, do you recommend finishing the crescent city series? (i am on the 2nd book and it is dragging, would you recommend to power through or should I dnf?) Also acotar prediction: Azriel book with gwyn probably out in 2030.
unpopular opinion... I actually liked the Shadow & Bone trilogy better than Six of Crows 😮 I did start reading Crooked Kingdom and even like that better than SoC so far.. maybe the hype set me up lol
I really don‘t know why we aren‘t able to just finish series right away, most of the times they‘re intriguing and you do wanna know where it‘s gonna go but you just keep starting new ones 🤨
I caught myself deleting books from my Kindle (which I added because you were reading them 😅) whose series you're dropping until I heard you say, "It's a preferences thing." I remember you raved about the Inheritance Games, and I couldn't get through the first one because I felt it was too young for me. I haven't deleted them yet mainly because I also think, I wasn't in the right headspace for them...
what series are you in the middle of right now? 💕
i'm currently reading stormlight archive by brandon sanderson!! If you haven't read it yet i would totally recommend it

The magic system in the crimson moth isn't based on period blood, but just blood with wounds/scars playing a big part which is the reason for using period blood in the book.
not based I suppose, but just a generalized way of describing how magic is used in the book without going into too much detail :)
you're my favorite booktuber!!! ❤
omg ily 💕
You and I appear to feel the same about most of these books. So glad I found your channel.
LOVE finding people with similar taste 💕

I cannot get myself to finish the Legendborn series. It infuriated me at too many points.
I'm not an urban merlin girlie 😂
@ It was all of the unnecessary complaining at times for me. I learned recently that characters who do that too much will make me DNF a book
@@kwoot07 this is true!
Please continue a good girls guide to murder, the second book reveals the real murderer,trust me

I read the Bone Season in 2013 when it came out and WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S GOING TO BE SEVEN
@@StarLine317 LOL SURPRISE 😂
didn't ve schwab cancel the third book in the vicious series?
NO DID SHE??? I saw her post on IG recently saying she was excited to revisit the characters
@@jaimefok IDK BECAUSE IT WAS CANCELLED A WHILE BACK, MAYBE SHE DECIDED TO BRING IT BACK AGAIN??
unpopular opinion... I actually liked the Shadow & Bone trilogy better than Six of Crows 😮 I did start reading Crooked Kingdom and even like that better than SoC so far.. maybe the hype set me up lol
I loved the setup of Shadow and Bones more than Six of Crows! Gave us more actual world building that I needed
For me, Jade War was even better than Jade City! I love that trilogy. I got totally lost in their world! and I mean lost in a good way 😅
OH love to hear it!
I really don‘t know why we aren‘t able to just finish series right away, most of the times they‘re intriguing and you do wanna know where it‘s gonna go but you just keep starting new ones 🤨
All the different series are just too tempting 😂
Yes, Daisy haites is definitely better
Ok great to know!!!
i oove you so molh
omg ty 💕💕
I caught myself deleting books from my Kindle (which I added because you were reading them 😅) whose series you're dropping until I heard you say, "It's a preferences thing." I remember you raved about the Inheritance Games, and I couldn't get through the first one because I felt it was too young for me. I haven't deleted them yet mainly because I also think, I wasn't in the right headspace for them...
reading books is 100% about personal preference! you might LOVE books that I don't
