Sunshine is SUCH a GOOD BOOK. Not a traditional vampire story. Loved it.
Someone else whose read sunshine!!!
I am getting more excited about this book after reading all the comments. I am really hoping I love it.
One of my besties recommended it. Was in my top reads for 2024.
I had Eragon on my Jan TBR and I’m half way through. I’m enjoying it.
I'm glad you're liking it! I know I have a lot of nostalgia in that series, but I really think it stands up. And the books just get better IMO.
@ I never read it back when it came out. so it’s interesting to read something that was very hyped back when I was in school and it not feel dated.
Master of sorrows sounds incredible! Definitely adding that to my tbr 🌠
I love it! Really hoping the author comes out with the next book soon.
Sunshine is great.
I'm excited to try it!
Yay for completing January! Rereading is always a good time.
Yes!
Lots of rereading faves this month!
SUNSHINE!!! Ok ok, this is not a drill! Sunshine is actually one of my favourite books and this is the first time that anyone even mentions it! That's so exciting for me!
The setting is so cool, it's such a nice mix of creatures in a urban fantasy world. The protagonist is quite reletable and the story is intriguing. P.s. the protagonist is a baker so prepare to get hungry while you reed haha
I'm so excited that there's other people who've read sunshine. I read it a really long time ago and remember loving it too.
I love this! I had never heard of it before my sister sent it to me, but I'm now even more excited to read it. And I love when books make me crave things like baked goods or coffee lol like Legends and Lattes.
The game was so nice to you this time around! It probably knew you needed it after what happened with your weekend star hop. This seems like a doable TBR. I hope you crush it!
Thanks! I agree, I think it's a very reasonable TBR. It's not crazy short but super doable.
I’m reading Red Rising at the moment, which I am LOVING! Next I’ll read either a quick manga or a romance novel for Valentines Day! I’m also seeing Cyndi Lauper on the 14th too!
Such a good stack! And a lot of rereads which is good.
Yes, they are fast to get through and I already know I love them.
When my husband and I were dating he worked nights and would call me when he got off and I would read Twilight aloud to him to help him stay awake on his drive home.😆
I love that it's not just me!
You deserve all that good luck!
Thank you 💙
Love that you used to read Eragon to your husband. My husband and I read aloud, and it definitely slows down the process, but I love it. I love all the rereads! I hope your reads go well.
Yeah, it's definitely slower, but I don't mind much since I've already read the Eragon series. It might be harder to not just read ahead on my own if it's a book I hadn't read and was really invested in.
STEPHANIE!! I pressed play on the video singing pink pony club to myself and how on earth did you end up singing the exact same song. WHAT!?
@@AbbySalter haha no way, that's crazy!! I wasn't going to leave that part in even
OMG, Sunshine!! I have never heard of another person that's read that book. I read it years ago and really loved it. Can't wait to see what you think. If I remember correctly it doesn't have any chapters.
Oh interesting! I just went and looked and you're right, there aren't chapters but it's broken into 3 parts (if there's a fourth I missed it). I'm interested if that was a stylistic choice for a reason because of how the story is told.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who can't get Chappell Roan out of their head... 😂❤
The TikTok playing as I answer this comment is literally her performance at the Grammy's 😂😂
The game was nice to you to make up for the mini game 😂
But seriously!!
I look forward to this game every month! So fun idea-well, I’d say it's fun, lol. If you can't combine the two prompts when you get them, instead of putting them back, you should pick a prompt for each one!
Oooh I actually love that! Because this isn't the first time it's been hard to combine them.
I feel like if you hit the end spot exactly (e.g. rolling a 7 when it is 7 spots away) you should get some sort of bonus. Like you should get to skip the spinner or have the final book be a mood read or something
Oooh this is an intriguing idea! I will have to think of a reward/bonus that I could get for that. But I really like this idea!
I read Harry Potter to my mom while she worked since she had only ever saw the movies. She had lots of questions!!
haha I read one of the HP books aloud to my sister after she had surgery when we were younger! I totally forgot about that until reading this comment.
Sunshine is a great novel. Wish she'd continued on with the main character but she was adamant that it was a stand alone. I'm doing Polarthon, which is a month long this year, and has a bingo board to fill in, so I'm choosing books as I go along to fill in the board. I have quite a stack of options I've collected for this readathon, many with favorite tropes or settings.
I did that readathon a few years back, it was fun but I struggled fining books to fit lol. I love the polar fantasy setting, though. It's one of my favorite atmospheres if done right.
@@stephaniesbookverse1098 Oh, I have more books with appropriate themes or settings than I could read for an entire year - if you ever want suggestions....
I do hope you will love Daughter of the Forest because it’s one of my favourite books of all time. Like you said, the writing and the world are magnificent ❤
I am honestly super confident that I will love it. I will be kind of shocked if I don't lol just based on what people have said about it and my own taste.
I have the same issue with Monstress. It's just SO DENSE x.x
I've just read Heart's Blood by Juliet Marillier and loved it. And I remember really liking Daughter of the Forest as well when I read it years ago. Very fairytale-esque "olden times" writing style. Just lovely.
That sounds absolutely perfect. I have that whole trilogy, plus the Dreamer's Pool trilogy and another couple books that I found in a little free library haha so really hoping I love her writing.
I did a ton of rereading in January and have a couple of rereads on the TBR for February, it just seems like the time of year for it.
I agree. I am just in that mood and apparently they all made it on the TBR without me really noticing. Plus they were all 5 stars on first read so should be a good month.
Okay, yeah there's audiobooks, but this is the cutest thing I've ever heard😱💕
💗💗💗
Ok but how was pink pony club in my head just as i hit play 😂
😂😂 she really is the moment! I haven't used my intro clip in forever but I felt the PPC needed to stay in the video
I also never continued after Master of Sorrows even though I loved it 😢 But since the next book should have come out years ago and isn't even announced yet, I'll probably wait 😅
I have honestly considered this, too, but I just feel like I need to read it since I literally made my husband go out and get it on release day.
@stephaniesbookverse1098 😄 fair
Oh, at least three of your reads this round have some pretty dark content. I hope you don't hate reading them in the same month.
I tend to do fine with dark content in books, but I'm ok with not continuing reading them if it's too much.
@stephaniesbookverse1098 yeah, I figured if you need to you know where to check content warnings.
Once upon a book club box has a mix of paperbacks, hardbacks and special editions but they don’t really do fantasy books.
Yeah, I am not a huge paperback person unless I don't have an option for a hardback. which is the case for some genres more than others, like romance.
Congratulations in removing a black hole. What if all the additional black holes were removed, what happens?
Great stack, the game was not mean but it ended up stacking up 😅 I am also in a rereading year, rereading the Cosmere (with you) and Michael J Sullivan’s world of Elan. I am having so much fun with both. I will be skipping Daughter of the Forest though, I really wanted to love it because I heard such good things but I really disliked it. I tried to push through hoping it would get better, but I dnfed at almost 50% because I couldn’t stand it anymore. It’s just not for me, but I am curious to see what everyone thinks about it.
Oh interesting! I have only heard great things about it so I'm interested to hear your thoughts after I've finished. I really wanted to join the reread of Elan, but I just don't have the time this year. I love Michael J Sullivan's writing, though, and met him at Dragonsteel and he is so nice!
It appears February is your designated rereading month.
And I didn't even plan it!!
I have heard pink pony club on such disparate channels lol
It's just too catchy!!
