I'm with you about smut! Smut can be fun, but it also can bring a book down! Woohoo! Congrats on being 2/3 through the competition, Beatriz!

💜💜💜

I picked up Guide to Dating a Demon for my r/fantasy bingo last year and if I wasn't reading it for that I would have DNFed. The way characters were treating the main female lead was so frustrating and it just kept getting worse and worse, and there was no push back on it until the end. The magic felt very underexlained as well, which in a cozy fantasy isn't the end of the world I guess, but it just added to my dislike of it. I read Stardust a long time ago and I remember enjoying it, but I went with expectations of maybe not seeing all of the pieces of the puzzle as you said so it kinda met my expectations, it surprised me how much a liked the characters so I gave it a higher rating because of it, if I remember correctly. 🙈 These were interesting picks, excited to see which ones you are gonna read next week. I hope you have better luck funding a favorite. ❤

"I hope the smut doesn't ruin this book" 🤣 Sometimes you just don't need it. I think if I read Stardust it may be the graphic novel version.

💜💜💜 I think you had very valid points in both your reviews.

Your dog is cute also think they rap it in plastic to keep it nice sometimes books can grow mold although not entirely sure. Glad you are enjoying your books

Sooooooo guess who's still 2 weeks behind on their watch later?! 😅 Mermaid Moon... good luck!!! 🤭🤞 Ninth House was really good... hope you both enjoy it too!

You did channel your inner Leandra!!🤣

Ooh, I love vlog style of content.😍I hope to start reading journal in a week or two once some supplies I ordered come in. I wanted to try it until the end of the year so I know whether it's something I can stick to doing. I just recently purchased ebook of 'You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight' for the spooky 3-month challenge I'm doing so I'm excited to hear your thoughts on in. City of Brass has been on my TBR for ages and I wonder how you are gonna like it, also mate covers are the best. 😊

I feel like a lot of new translationa of books are coming out as well. Like, translations of non-recent but popular books. Like, if your name isn't Stephen King, it ueed to take AGES to get translated. Recentl, a 10 year old book was finally translated into german

Fate Inked in Blood has been on my physical tbr for forever😅 I should finally go and read it but my currently reading shelf does NOT agree

Ohhhhh I had such a dread remembering that it was this book for your 50th 😂

I loved seeing your critical brain at work! This really allowed me to see the pros and cons of these books as you read them, and I can't wait to see what you think of your competitors' recs for the next two weeks as well!

This seems like a really fun challenge! Endings that are missing a "wow" factor and POV switches that end up confusing always throw me off, too...these sound like interesting premises other than that, though!

I laughed when you said it felt like you'd been reading Nightbirds for 20 years, because that is spot on! I like that we both felt similar about the books, but came at them in different ways.

I have never heard of either of those books- they sound like interesting premises!

DNFs are 100% self care!

Sorry for not being there live, wish I could've been there but weekends are usually busy for me, as you know. I really like the discussion you had, it put some words to things that were bothering me that I couldn't articulate as well. I think I'll be droping my rating to 3 stars after this since it always was a generous 4, but now that some time has passed and I reflected on the book through you in this video, I definitely feel like it's more of a 3 star experience looking back. While I still enjoyed the second part of the book very much, I do think it's worth saying that it was very surface level on number of topics raised and on certain characters. Also, the beginning hinged a lot on readers suspension of belief(that's the saying, right? 🙈) and while the book still had enough of a leg to stand on that I was able to push through, it still was a major struggle until the focus shifted more to the relationship and their interactions rather than the whole wedding side gig stuff. Looking forward to future book club picks, it's been a fun ride so far. ❤

i am also really excited for the games gods play. i may read it in september!!

I really enjoyed Ninth House

5:27 you are correct! 🎉 and you better believe this won't be another series that you'll leave unfinished for years to come 😂😂

I love this theme and the prompts are so fitting - look forward to joining ^-^

Sounds fun

Great potential tbr,a fair few are sitting on my tbr but I had not heard of Fathomfolk, will be adding that to a potential future reads. Glad you mentioned covers as that's how I buy books a lot of the time, great video

So excited for this readathon! I am looking forward to reading a lot of host favorites- especially the House in the Cerulean Sea!

Aaaah, can't wait for readathon to start. I won't be making a TBR like I usually do for competitive readathons, I'll just mood read and try not to put any pressure on myself. I do plan on trying September House as well since I wanted to do at least 1 host fave and it fits my current mood perfectly. Hopefully we both like it. Also, excited to see you explore more to spooky genres in the future. I hope you enjoy it and find new faves. ☺💚

I did enjoy Ariadne when I read it. Song of Silver Flame Like Night has such a beautiful cover! I haven't read it, but I'm interested to hear what you think. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on The September House!!! I hope you love it!!!

fun vlog this is on my septmeber tbr cause it is a bit shorter!

⛪️ glad you enjoyed the book and well done on reading 50 books this year I hope the next lot you read are great 🎉

Somewhere Beyond the Sea and Heavenly Tyrant are on my tbr too, as well as a new mystery series by Richard Osman that releases in September

Keep making more videos! 🙌 Go girllll!!?!

This looks so fun! I need to decide what team to join. I love all of the hosts!

Question: For Ambrosia does it have to be the single longest book only or one of the longest books, generally on my shelves? 🤔
