I recently read Sleep Tight and it was crazy and a lot going on but really good!
Oh awesome! I can’t wait to read it! The cover is stunning!
The Historian is phenomenal book! I read it over ten years ago and still remember the plot like I read it a month ago. 😊
Oh awesome!! Yeah it sounds really good!
SLewfoot was really good it wasn’t terrifying but it did have some creepy moments and the illustrations are gorgeous ❤
I absolutely loooove the illustrations
Drácula is amazing ❤it’s just a bit repetitive and told thru letters
Thank you for letting me know this❤️looking forward to reading it, I love books written in letter form.
I love Daphne du Maurier, you’ve got her two best books there. I also love her collection of short stories ‘The birds’, really creepy.
Ooh I’m so glad to hear that! I can’t wait to read them! I’ve got to check out her short story collection then!
I really enjoyed ‘The lost notebook’, that author has another two books as well. Thanks for the video Monica x
Oooh I might have to look into those as well! Of course 😘🤗❤️
Fairydale is sooooo good!!! It is epic and spans many years! I purchased the arcane society special edition! I hope you love it as much as i do!!!❤
I can’t wait!
I had to subscribe because you read a lot of the books that I love to eat up!! Your descriptions of each book is magical 🌙🤍
Thank you so much❤️
I'm so excited to read stalking Jack the Ripper this fall! Loved the video❤
Thank you so much❤️oh yay! Let me know what you think of it once you read it.
Just found you and we have very similar taste in books. Added all of these to my TBR and excited about reading them.
That’s awesome! I hope you enjoy them🤗Happy Reading❤️
Wow you had a great reading month! Mine was good, a few 5 stars. I read Spellshop in August and absolutely loved it! Out of the books u read, I've read Summer Romance, Never Lie, and Heartless Hunter. I agree with Never Lie being Frieda Mcfadden's best book that book gave me the creeps I loved it! And absolutely adored Summer Romance I love her writing so much. Heartless Hunter I didn't love, I felt the same as you did when you first started reading it, just felt like I got bored lol. But now I wanna read Her Soul To Take so bad in October! And I want to read the Serpent & Dove series too to get to Scarlet Veil but we've talked about this in my previous comments lol. Great reads this month.
Thank you! And that’s awesome we’ve read a lot of the same books! I love talking about our thoughts and opinions of each one so much. As far as for Her Soul To Take, read it soon! It’s the perfect time to read it. Happy Reading❤️
Glad you ended up enjoying Crimson moth. Personally for me I had no issues getting into it. I loved it from page one.
Maybe it was just bad timing for me🤷🏻♀️I hope you’re having a great reading month so far❤️
Wow what a great reading month! You are moving the Stalking Jack the Ripper series higher and higher on my priority list!
Oh my gosh read it soon please you won’t be disappointed!
So many great recs that I have on my TBR already like “Summer Romance", “Her Soul to Take", “Don't Let Her Stay", & “The Maid's Diary" that I need to read like yesterday, especially since I finally got my Kindle Paperwhite with the KU subscription!!! Always love your energy when you are discussing your monthly reads! Thanks for this!!! ☺️😁 Happy September to you and your family!
Oooh yay!! A Kindle Paperwhite and KU!! I’m so excited for you!! 🥰thank you Happy September to you and your family too😘❤️
❤📚📚❤️
❤️🍁🍂
I love the King of Battle and Blood series! It’s great if you are looking for a little more mature mc’s. The female mc is such a strong woman I love her and King Adrian is 🔥
I totally agree❤️
Butcher and blackbird reminds me of natural born killers am I crazy for feeling this way
I haven’t seen the movie so I’m not sure
My TBR list grows with every video you upload 😆 Question: can we friend you on Goodreads? I wanted to ask first before going ahead and doing it 😅
😆that’s awesome! Of course just know that I don’t put written reviews on there. I just record what I’m reading in realtime and rate them. I save my thoughts for my videos.
@@monicafortner great! Thank you 😊
That sweater looks sooo cozy!!
Thank you 😊 it’s one of my favorites
Please can you recommend a store I can go to buy vampire books
This is a hard one because where I live there’s only B&N, so if you have one near you, maybe check there? If not I usually get my books on Amazon. Other places have Books A Million, Half Priced Books, there’s also Book Outlet which is online.
I love your enthusiasm for the books you like and I just found Her Soul To Take in my library. Not something that would be my first pick, but knowing that we like similar books I'm going to trust you and jump into it. 😅🤭
Yassss🙌🏻you won’t be disappointed 😉
@@monicafortner 😄😘
@StashaA. Come back and tell me you don’t want a Leon after you read it lol. If you can listen to the audio.
@@monicafortner Deal lol 🤭
I read the Spellshop earlier this month and it was one of my favorite books of the month I hope you love it too. Also read One Dark Window and Twisted Crowns back in April and it's great it's perfect for the fall. I really want to read the Serpent and Dove Trilogy probably in November bc I also picked up The Scarlet Veil not knowing u had to get to the trilogy first lol. But I hope you get to Serpent and The Wings Of Night it's so worth the hype and I reccomended the audiobooks to you last month. Also I read The Revenant Games earlier this month based on your rec in your July Wrap Up and I really liked it! Happy reading!
Oh that’s great to hear!! I’m so happy you liked it! I love that book so much. I can’t wait to read the Spellshop and Serpent & The Wings of Night! Thank you happy reading 😘❤️
New England in the Fall kinda gives off a gothic scary vibe sometimes .
I could only imagine. I would love to visit one day.
I am on the edge of my seat to know what you think of A Dowry of Blood. It is such beautiful writing, and the tension is delightful.
I’m so excited to get to get! Looking forward to the writing!
My September tbr is wayyyy too ambitious….EOS/TOD plus another 800+ page book…and even more on top of that..oops. So excited for my fall tbr
Wow!! That’s awesome!! 👏🏻 for the ambitious TBR! I love that we have so many books to read! Happy reading❤️
You have convinced me to read stalking Jack the Ripper. Just put it on my fall tbr🎉
Yay! I’m so excited for you! I’ll be reading Escaping From Houdini in September. I’m going to be sad when I finish that series because I love it so much.
I have exactly the same feeling about Kingdom of Ash. I'm afraid to read it. 😅 Throne of Glass messed up with my feelings like no other book before. I had to take time off from reading after every book.
Oh my gosh right?!? I’m terrified of finishing it.
@@monicafortner We'll get there. 💪 Hopefully. 😅
lol yeah
I love 24 hour readathon!! You did great 🎉🎉
Thank you 😘❤️
Love this style of read-a-thon and great books
Thank you so much 😊
I’m here manifesting Fall too because I’m tired of the Summer heat 😂 Autumn is the prettiest! I cannot wait.
Yasss🙌🏻!! The summers here are horrible.
Summer romance was amazing I love her writing too!! One dark window duology was sooo good love the magic system. Serpents of the Wings Of Night such a good vampire romantasy and I love the sequel too can’t wait for the third one in November. I didn’t love Heartless Hunter and personally don’t understand the hype, hopefully you like it more lol. The Spellshop is on my TBR for this month too and now u made me so excited to read it! And I have the Scarlet Veil too and probably going to read that in October. I also love Kerri Manascalsos writing and read her Kingdom of The Wicked Series and Throne of the Fallen and loved them! Can’t wait for Throne of Secrets at the end of October but now I really need to read her other series.
Oh my gosh that’s amazing!! You’ve read so many of the books on my never ending TBR I’m so jealous lol I feel like I’m playing catch up. I recently finished Heartless Hunter and after pushing through the slow build, I found myself enjoying it. I can’t wait to read The Spellshop! I REALLY wanted to read The Scarlett Veil but I found out that I need to read The Serpent & Dove Trilogy first 😞 so many good books to read so little time. I hope you’re having a good reading month so far❤️
@@monicafortner wait you have to read the serpent and dove trilogy first?? Dang. Now I’m gonna have to pick those up lol. And I hope you love all these books too! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the Spellshop sounds so cute. And for their serpents of the wings of night books I highly recommend the audiobooks bc I loved the narrators! I’m having a good reading month thank you! I’ve read all fantasy books so far and only have read 3, but none of been 5 star but all so good!!! And I’m glad u liked Heartless Hunter I just found it a bit slow and very predictable towards the end. Excited for the second one though.
Yeah I did a little research and almost everyone says you’ll enjoy it better if you read the trilogy first because The Scarlet Veil happens right after Serpent & Dove, set in the same universe as a continuation. Heartless Hunter was a very slow build for me too, nothing too crazy of a story but still got me interested enough for the second one. Thank you will do I’ve been so addicted to pairing my books with the audio. You saying the narrators were really good in The Serpent & The Wings of Night gets me super excited I can’t wait! Glad to hear you’re having a good reading month!
@@monicafortner yes I hope you enjoy the audiobooks and then you’ll know how to pronounce the names hahaha. But I see that the Serpent & Dove trilogy is on kindle unlimited after I almost bought the physical books at Barnes today lol so yay. Glad you ended up enjoyed Heartless Hunter. Also I just picked up The Revenant Games at Barnes today bc you loved it so much in your wrap up video and the cover is beautiful so can’t wait to read it!!
Oh awesome! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Yes the cover is stunning! Lol I know it bugs me when I mispronounce names.
I really enjoyed Spark, it has a lot of set up for book #2 which I am reading now Glow and it takes off on page on.
I’ve been meaning to start that series because I’ve heard really good things. I’ll hopefully start it once I finish Kingdom of Ash. Happy August! I hope you have an amazing reading month❤️
I just finished Filthy Rich Vampire by Geneva Lee and I really enjoyed it. It’s a very spicy human/vampire dark romance. I thought I’d recommend since you are in your vampire era 😊
Thank youuuuuuuu!!! ❤️❤️Yes I’ll add that to this months TBR, sense I found out that I have to read the Serpent & Dove Trilogy before I can even read The Scarlet Veil😞
@@monicafortner Boo that sucks about The Scarlet Veil. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Filthy Rich Vampire and the other books! ❤️
@MIZZ.BLKNRD ❤️thank you for the recommendation🤗
Hey Monica. I'm really excited ☺️ to watch this. Will do after work though lol 😆.
Oh yay! Thank you❤️
@@monicafortner of course ❤️
5:58 😘
😘
I loved Love Unwritten and A Fate Inked in Blood! Hope you enjoy them too 😊 Barnes is my fav when there’s only a handful of people there 💕
Thank you so much! I can’t wait to read them! Yeah it’s the best feeling when it’s empty.
Good afternoon my dear friend
Good Afternoon!
I love you and this video! I feel like we are the same person after hearing you explain how you felt during your experience. Books bring such joy to my life and I could feel your joy through the screen! I’m starting Reckless today and I’m so giddy!!!
Awww thank you so much for your kind words they mean so much to me, you are so sweet🥹❤️Oh yay!!! I’m so excited for you🥳after you read it come back and let me know what you thought but with no spoilers please, I wouldn’t want to ruin it for others❤️
I loooove the legacy of gods series, one of my favorite!! Hope you enjoy it! 🫶🏻🫶🏻 Just letting you know that those covers are slowly going out of print because the books got pick up by bloom!
Oh my gosh thank you for letting me know! I’ll have to hurry and get the rest of the series.
Out on a limb is soooo cute you’re going to love it !
Oh awesome! I can’t wait to read it!
Your facial expression when you looked at your husband taking A Fate Inked in Blood and the way you slowly moved the book closer inside your arms without blinking and taking your eyes from him is priceless. 😂 I totally understand. 🤭
🤣I’m lucky he was supportive. Lol even though I felt so guilty putting it in my stack, that didn’t stop me from buying it😂
@@monicafortner Love it! You were like a kid taking her favorite toy. There was no way you were leaving without that book lol. 😄
@StashaA. 😂yesss lol
I hope the lucky streak continues. Happy reading.
Thank you! Happy Reading📖
I love this idea ❤❤❤ For today my D.O.B. Sweet tea. A summer dress because it is so hot here. And my book is The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Dunst and A City of Flames by Rina Vasquez
Wow I love this! I love your D.O.B! Your outfit and drink seem very book aesthetic📖❤️Loooove your choice of books! I love this so much! Thanks for sharing🤗
@@monicafortner the spider plant in The Spellshop is so funny
I can’t wait to read that book!
Glad to catch you first when you posted this. I’m excited to add some of these to my TBR. 😊
Oh yay I’m so glad🤗Can’t wait to hear which ones you end up adding❤️
The Chestnut Springs series is like a my comfy place, I love how you can just pick up a book and fall right in. Great video, loved how you had so many different genres!
Oh my gosh I loooooove that feeling! Thank you so much 🤗❤️
I cried my heart out at the end of reckless
I almost did but I’m hoping everything gets resolved in the next book.
You just explained my exact feeling toward this book❤
Oh my gosh right?! ❤️🤗
Girl, you NEED to read Out On A Limb by Hannah Bonam-Young 💕 It’s surprise pregnancy but it’s so so so good.
I recently purchased it! Can’t wait!
This series has whole my heart...i know many people didnt liked becoz so same scenes of some other ya but i personally loved these books...🥀❤️ but this book RECKLESS it wrecked me...i was feeling that kitt might turn into like his father n i hate him for this that he knew that kai loves pae..still he made that decision.... 🥲🥲🥲I want fearless nowwwew
I looooooooooooove this series 😩🥹I just finished it!!!! Need the next one asap!!!
Dame true
It's really bewildered the readers.The characters, narration, emotions are heart aching❤
Oh my gosh yassssssss. It’s everything❤️
Did you read the book or listen to audio. The audio of the first book Was Great but I was thinking of Reading the second one.
I did both for the first and I’m doing both for this one. I’m reading along as I’m listening to it together. To me it just gives me that much more of an experience where I feel like I’m fully immersed in this world with these characters. Plus Kai’s voice…. Kai’s voice 🤌🏻🤤
