I have found audiobooks are so good if you're feeling intimidated by classics - got me through my literature degree! Even better, there are often free classics on audible (best production usually), UA-cam, or the library
British Girl's Guide to Hurricane's and Heartbreak is actually the sequel to "A Cuban Girl's Guide to Tea and Tomorrow"! I mean, probably more interconnected standalone, but I thought I'd let you know!
I would definitely recommend reading 'A Cuban Girl's Guide to Tea and Tomorrow" first, I liked it better and "A British Girl's Guide to Hurricanes and Heartbreak" I believe spoils the first book.
Oh I’m excited for you to read Daydream, I low key had a little cry reading that it was so beautiful!!! Was a 5 star read for me ⭐️ So unexpected in the best way 🫢
I finished once upon a broken heart about two days ago, this is the book that had been on my tbr the longest. The funny thing is that I tried to pick it up multiple times and was always put off by it for some reason. Well a few days ago I finally picked it up actually wanting to read it and wow it was so good. And I will be ordering the rest of the books in the series soon but wow. It felt like such an accomplishment and yet I feel like if I would have picked it up at any other time I would not have liked it. Funny how that works.This all to say I'ts great to get the books of the tbr but some books just have to wait until the right time.
Ahh I love this! I just went shopping for my fall reading vlog and it has made me so excited to read this week! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on these books 🫶
The 1st book to British Girl's Guide to Hurricanes and Heartbreak is called A Cuban Girl's Guide to Tea and Tomorrow, mainly taking place in England. I haven't read the 2nd yet, but it's more of an interconnected standalone thing. I enjoyed Cuban Girl's Guide! The 2nd one follows the sister of the main guy from the 1st.
What’s on my TBR for October is: Five Broken Blades by Mai Corland, Book of Night by Holly Black, Killer Instinct by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, Murder in G Major by Alexia Gordon, A Darker Shade of Magic by V. E. Schwab, Johnathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke, Witch of Wild Things by Raquel Vasquez Gililand, and The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco. This is basically all fantasy books for October.
Your TBR videos are my favourite to watch. Since you've read many Cassandra Clare books it would be helpful if you tell about the reading order for all her series like 'the mortal instruments' , 'the infernal devices' , 'the last hours' and 'the dark artifices'. I really want to read them all...
I love your tbr videos! If you want to read something spooky or darker for October, I really recommend the book "Curious tides". It's about a magic school where the magic comes from the Moon and the sea. Secret society, dark academia, dual POV... I loved it!!
You need to read match before the enemy because they are in a series together. It is an interconnected stand alone but some of the characters from match are in the enemy and are important.
I am reading Daydream right now. I am on chapter 13. So far I like it. I can't wait to read more when I lay down in bed to go to sleep. I will read it for a little while.
I absolutely loved A British Girls Guide to Hurricane and Heartbreak. I do currently live in Florida though and know some of the places. I related to the FMC in that book sooo much. I hope that you enjoy it!
I would also pick fantasy if I had to read only one genre for the rest of my life but I'm also such a contemporary romance girl. Fantasy romance does hit different though because of the high stakes. Great video ❤.
I'm very much looking forward in October to a new release that comes out this week, a sequel, called Tomb of the Sun King by Jacquelyn Benson. Do read in order - the first book is called Empire of Shadows. It gives The Mummy vibes.
Eeeee I’m nervous for you to read Rush. I gave it 2 stars and I also read the ARC and i just have such a feeling it won’t be your kinda book! Looking forward to hearing what you think, though!
Hello Catherine, big fan of your videos! I was wondering, what are your thoughts on reading spicy books as a Christian? I know that the spirit has to convict each person individually in their walk on what is ok and what isn’t (as there is nothing about reading spice in the bible 😂) and I totally understand if it’s too personal or you don’t want to share, I’m just genuinely curious as a fellow Christian who is trying to discern what I should and shouldn’t be reading what your thoughts are on this!
My tbr for October might be reflective of my September reads. I wasn't able to get through my September tbr though 😂 but what I read in September were a manga series. I used to be obsessed with manga cos I'm a huge anime fan 😆 and since returning to the "manga-verse", it's not only addictive but because manga books are relatively short (can be long too), they've accomplished so much of my 2024 reading goal 😂😃 So I'm for sure gonna continue reading manga in October 😂 but I'm not sure if I'll have an October tbr list 😄
My tbr for October is very different! Once i've finished The Games Gods Play, I have Throne of the Fallen, One Dark Window, Two Twisted Crowns and will try find a Stephen King book! Question is, to start with TOTF or ODW? 🤔
Well I will just right here sis Rachel that I don't have any books that I would like to read here in Florida I will just pick up a book and start reading I got a lot of books that I pick up and start reading but if I don't like the book I'll stop reading the book just on principle even though though I'll probably pick up back up throughout my life sis Rachel but yeah even though I have a mini library here in my house I just don't know where I should start the last book that I read was young and living for God by Karoylne Roberts it was a good read But anyways, God bless you, sis Rachel, and just keep up with what you're doing for the kingdom of Heaven with the encouraging words that you're giving right now 🪽🔥🙌✝️
Just a heads up, Ready or not it’s a good story and the MMC it’s so good BUT for me has some topics very “liberal” which was almost a DNF for me. I kept reading because I don’t like to DNF books and if not for that would have been a high rate story.
Rach I hate to say this but I don’t think Rush is gonna be your cup of tea! It started off being marketed as a romance but then I’m pretty sure people complained, and now they call it something like an “erotic love story”. Spice is a HUGE part of what happens, I would liken it to 50 shades of grey. Plus consent is kinda dubious. Can you tell I didn’t like it 😂 anyway as soon as you picked it up I thought you might not get along with it!

Anyone else yelling “Taming 7” at their TV when she pulled the dual POV prompt!

Enjoy your October reading... 👻 Yes it is wild how quickly October has arrived.
Rachel always posts on 10 am for me, so the perfect time to watch a video before going to bed ❤

I absolutely loved A British Girls Guide to Hurricane and Heartbreak. I do currently live in Florida though and know some of the places. I related to the FMC in that book sooo much. I hope that you enjoy it!
I’ve been wanting to read this, as I read the first book by the same author ‘A Cuban Girls Guide to Tea and Tomorrow’, and it was amazing! ❤
I would also pick fantasy if I had to read only one genre for the rest of my life but I'm also such a contemporary romance girl. Fantasy romance does hit different though because of the high stakes. Great video ❤.
