I’m such a mood reader that i can’t create a TBR. After I finish a book I just go to my audible and scroll until something catches my fancy.
I'm the same way.
Sonetimes I know what I want to read, but sometimea I go through my books, to see if a book catches my fancy.
I am so looking forward to Onyx Storm!
Thank you, your the 1st book tuber who said they loved Iron Flame. ❤😊
Yayyy!!! I will say I didn’t love Iron Flame quite as much as Fourth Wing but it was still an AMAZING read!
@@HonestFiction I agree, but Iron Flame is good. And what makes it better, for me, is listening to the audio, as I read the book.
When the Moon Hatched and Glow of the Everflame are my top reads so far too!!
Such good ones!!!!
most anticipated release of the second half of the year: born of blood and ash!!! ps: you clearly have the same taste in books as I do, so I am so glad to have found your channel. thx for all the great recommendations! I was looking for a good audio book after re-listening to vampire academy (read it about 15 years ago...) and found black sunshine because of you. much love
I'm rereading Fourth Wing and Iron Flame and OMG I'M LOVING IT!!!! 💗💗💗 The first time was great ofcourse but doing this reread of it has me intrigued by what I missed. I'm catching on some of the clues and details along with some foreshadowing...idk how I didn't catch some of it! 🤯🙊💕 I SWEAR THOUGH- ITS SO MUCH MORE FUN!!! TOTALLY WORTH IT! 😆😆😆 I have so many theories and am still kicking myself for not getting to this series sooner. Its definitely my top favorite read of this year! I CAN'T WAIT FOR ONYX STORM!!! 🖤🖤⚔🐉
finished the throne of honor and blood a hour ago and omgggggg the cliff hanger
Totally agree on the How Does It Feel series!
Loved this video!! I’m excited to read Goldfinch (plated prisoners) which comes out the second half of the year
I’m with you, Jess the over 1000 pages scare me. That’s why I haven’t picked up the third book in the series yet.
Fear me love me, now I’m reading that!
When the Moon Hatched is my top read of 2024 thus far too! I am going to start Spark of the Everflame tomorrow once I finish Nughtbane. Super excited to start the Penn Cole series.
I’m very much a mood reader and I’ll often jump from genre to genre as the mood takes me. I also don’t have any problem dnfing a book if it isn’t working for me, especially if I don’t like any of the characters. If I don’t like them I don’t care what happens to them so what’s the point in finishing the book 🤷♀️. It means that at least I don’t end up wasting any time on unsatisfying books. I loved this review, you have some great choices 👍🏻💛
I’ve just got When the Moon Hatched and you might enjoy the new Rebecca Zanetti one One Cursed Rose if you liked Fear Me Love Me x
Love!! 💕 Boys of Tommen 😭
I’ve been summoned 🫡❤️
Yaaaaas!!!! Haha have you read books 3 & 4 yet?! Joey & Aoife might be my favorite fictional couple ever written
I'm reading How Does It Feel? on your recommendation. I'm only at 9%, and every time I pick it up, I get a little trepidatious. I'm like, "Jess says this book is unhinged. When is it going to happen?" I'm so excited/scared. It's a good time.
Hahah I feel like I might have over exaggerated how unhinged the book is but there are def certain parts where I was like “WTF AM I READING” you’ll know them when you get to them 😂
Blood and steel was a pretty good book. I think it gets better with each book in the series.
I need to read Glow of the Everflame soooooo badly! I’ve heard nothing but great things. 🔥
How is it mid-year already??? 😩
I do agree with you on HOFAS… 😬
OMG! I liked The Infatuated Fae books too! I was scared to read the second book after seeing the Goodreads rating, but I loved it! 🥰
Same!!! I thought it was going to be horrible but I couldn’t put it down 🤣 so ridiculous/fun!
Books I read so far this year are Samart Sex by Emily Morse, Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline, Ikigai, The Psychology of Money, The power of Habit, The Bell Jar, and Coraline
I enjoy your honesty. Crescent city three was not my favorite either. I feel like it dragged on too long.
Ahh thank you!!! I try not to be too negative on my channel but sometimes you just gotta admit when books don’t work for you 😅
I legit had this scheduled to film Monday lol
🥳🥳🥳 can’t wait to watch!
Leather and lark audiobook is absolutely fantastic
Ahhh I can’t wait to start!
I read the infatuated fae series in like 3 days and swear the whole time I was thinking it wasn't all that great but couldn't stop reading. Lol
THIS!!!! Like the series def had its problems but it’s SO entertaining! 🤣
Top reads for mid-year are The Sword Catcher and Five Broken Blades. Im so excited for Onyx Storm🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Ahhh in need to read Sword Catcher!
Please read A Feather So Black so you can tell me if it is worth picking up
Would you consider doing a “From Blood and Ash” read-a-long on YT? Or possibly “The Broken Kingdoms” series by LJ Andrews?
I just finished up a FBAA readalong last year but I’d def be willing to do a Broken Kingdom Readalong!
Work was a lot this year as well. Aren’t you going on break at the end of the month.
YESSSS!!! Counting down the days!
Is the lost lost girl going to be one book? ❤
I belive it’s a duet!
Does anyone actually read on booktube? How do you read an audiobook? If you listen to the book, say that. Nothing wrong with that.
I typically listen to my audiobook while reading along with the physical book but either way, I consider audiobooks reading 🤷🏻♀️
You're a nasty piece of work. She doesn't have to explain what format she reads books.
I picked up Debt because of you, and it was the most unhinged book, in the best possible way!🤭Thank you! 🤍
Ahhh I’m so happy you enjoyed it!🔪🖤
