I am so glad I am not alone in finding Emily Wilde just aggressively fine hahah. I stubbornly read book 2 as well and it was just... not it 🤣 Anyway, I am going to try Look Closer, because now I am morbidly curious lol. Also love to hear that you enjoyed Lucy Undying so much, I got the ARC but have been procrastinating because of the mixed reviews, but I like everything you said here! Do you think it's best to have read the original Dracula beforehand? My faves of August were Asunder by Kerstin Hall (new no. 1 fave of the year), Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle and Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors. Love that 5-star energy!! 🤩🤩

This reminds me that I need to try Emily Wilde...I want to love it so I have an excuse to get the B and N edition because I got the boring normal edition....lolol I also need to try Spark of the Everflame...I have it but keep forgetting about it. Dracula is my favorite classic so I am intrigued by Lucy Undying. Yaaaaaasssss the Spellshop is so good

💖

yeeeesss abby jimenez is so good!! I enjoyed part of your world, loved yours truly, and adored just for the summer, hope the same will be true for you! and I feel you on ali hazelwood's romances, they just feel so... uninspired? loved this vlog style! 🥰🥰

YAAAAAS THE SPELLSHOP IS SO GOOD. I still need to try Emily Wilde I hope I like it more than you did lolol (that edition is so cute)

Girl I feeeeel you on Emily Wilde, that was just so aggressively fine 🤣 Hope Lucy Undying holds up the entire way through, I also have an ARC and need to get onto it asap.. the premise sounds so good! And enjoy Ninth Rain, hopefully it lives up to Elle's hype for you haha. Happy reading 🥰

Why yes, consider me absolutely sold on The Dollmakrers and Annie Bot!! And you are getting me into a big romance mood here, which I am not mad about 🤩

😊 love this thank you,your nice to listen to...😊

Not you wanting the woman to make the bad man grovel in dark romances ☠ also girl we need the final two books of a song of ice and fire not Fire and Blood 2... lmao

A month where we get a new Kingfisher is immediately a good month!! Also, I have read the ARC of Long Live Evil and had a blast. It leans a bit younger in tone sometimes because of the wacky humour, but for me it was just such a fun time (and it really packs an emotional punch as well!). Hope these all live up to your expectations 🤩

I don’t know how you immediately jumped straight back in to all of SJM but love that’s it’s working so well for you again

Glad to hear you are coming out of the slump again!! I have been seeing that memoir about being a sociopath floating around, sounds like I need to bump it up the priority list! And I feel you on Heir of Fire, that is really where things get so so so good. Though I think book 5 might be my true favourite? Idk, might have to do a reread as well lol 👀 My favourite reads of 2024 so far are Hell for Hire by Rachel Aaron and A Love Song for Ricki Wilde by Tia Williams, can't recommend them highly enough! 🤩🤩

Hello Ingrid. The only problem with watching other RUclipsrs channels is that it only increases the tbr. So many books and so little time! Happy reading to you.

Ooooh Defiant was good? I need to get to it already I have it and really enjoyed Cytonic

Oooh this was definitely a fun way to reflect on the first quarter!! I really need to get to Never Lie. And gosh, you are making me want to reread Nettle & Bone, I miss bone dog!! Also, I am glad I listened to that spoilery rant of None of This is True, because yeaaah no thanks I am not interested in that messiness lol. Hope you find some new faves in the upcoming quarter!! 🥰🥰

T Kingfisher never disappoints! Love her books too! ❤

Oooh I recently picked up Emily Wilde's too! Hope it's good. Speaking of House in the Cerulean Sea I need to reread it soon to get ready for the sequel coming soon. Godkiller is a lot of fun, I think you will have a fun time with it.

What about Vesperus being described as Maeve?

I am curious about the Veronica Roth fantasy book too. It’s the only one I recognize on this list 🤣🤣

Yay for this book being fun! I was expecting trash and was pleasantly surprised. The whole parasite antidote still makes 0 scientific sense to me but sure whatever lolol

Oooh how exciting, lots of titles that I hadn't heard of before!! And yes, these books are really winning the cover game 🤩 I am personally looking forward to Mushroom Blues by Adrian Gibson, The Woods All Black by Lee Mandelo, Ghost Station by SA Barnes, Truly Madly Deeply by Alexandria Bellefleur, Evocation by ST Gibson, and How To Become a Dark Lord and Die Trying by Django Wexler. Fingers crossed these all live up to our expectations!!

Heeeck yes, I love that we both had such a fun experience with this finale. I totally agree that it was a huge step up from book 2, even though it still had its flaws. While I like how this one ended, I am excited to keep reading in this world, because I just really enjoy the set-up with all the different types of creatures. So long as we are not shifting perspectives to Tharion, I will be good, lol. Loved this review!! 🥰

love a rich people problems book!! new sub, hope your congestion clears up soon!

Yay HOFAS!!!! Addie sounds like a snoozefest. No thanks lol

Aaah yes, wasn't HoFaS such a step-up?! I am glad you had a blast with it, looking forward to the dedicated review. And heck yes, Bride was just such a hoot, I devoured that one!! Also, while I personally enjoyed Addie LaRue more than you seem to have, I also 100% agree with all your critiques here. I enjoy that book less and less the longer I think about it lol. Hope March treats you better overall ;))) My standouts in February were Seven Days in June & A Love Song for Ricki Wilde, both by Tia Williams, HoFaS, and Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez. Big into the romance vibes, and I am embracing it! 🥰🥰

Love this diverse list!! Look, with House of Flame and Shadow and Iron Flame... I honestly don't get the hate so much lol. If you go in expecting ridiculously fun braincandy, you'll have a blast (at least I did). And CC3 is def a huuuuge step up from CC2, the crossovers were handled quite well imo 🤩 I also can't wait to check out Emily Wilde's and Bride. And can confirm that Empire of the Vampire, Ninth Rain, Ship of Destiny and A Gathering of Shadows are all super great reads. Hope these live up to your expectations!! 🥰

I read Leviathan Wakes in January and I loved it - I hope you enjoy!

I will be so curious what you think of Wheel of Time, I have my predictions lol. I do think you will like the Winnowing Flame Trilogy though (Ninth Rain). I want to try Emily Wilde's too one of these days! Oh god not Iron Flame......lmao I'm currently reading Amina and it is quite fun. Still waiting for the mythological beasts but Jashana tells me there will be lots. Yay Words of Radiance, that's coming up next for my readalong to be discussed in May. Jay from Captured in Words has an amazing recap for Way of Kings. Yaaaaas EotV!!!! Book 2 comes out in March. Oh god Ship of Destiny....xD I have THOUGHTS about that one.

I kinda want to try Leviathan Wakes also -- I did a thing where I read the first chapter & last chapter and I did that one and actually was like "Wait.... maybe I'm intrigued???"

Oooh yay Nettle and Bone. I still need to read Evershore and Defiant, oops lol

I really wish I had loved Nettle & Bone more -- it was a "perfectly fine" one for me. Boo hiss! lol

I love the mystery mood just taking over, hahah. I am def checking out Never Lie now, I had no idea where to start with her works so thanks for the rec ;))) And you're actually getting me excited to get back into the Skyward series again, I have been putting that off lol. Hope February treats you well 🥰

yaaay welcome back ingrid!!! 🎉 i am begging the romantasy authors to please put more thought into their worldbuilding rather than just relying on the spicy scenes to save their story 😭 glad to hear that defiant stuck the landing!!! i still need to read it but need to finish cytonic first NETTLE AND BONE 💗💗💗

Girl don't justify yourself for not liking Emily St. John....you felt how you felt lol. Oh yeah...ACOTAR. Maybe we can do book 2 next month? 🤔🤔

🦄

Ooooh yes, the 80s vibes in My Best Friend's Exorcism are just chef's kiss!! 🤌And I think you will enjoy Nettle & Bone, but you should def read What Moves the Dead as well, it's PERFECT for spooky season!! Hope October will be a better reading month than September was ;) Happy reading!! 🥰

I had a lot of fun with the adaptation of My Best Friend's Exorcism I'm sure the book is also fun. And you will probably really like Nettle and Bone. Good luck with this TBR friend!! Yaaaas Way of Kings. I think the live show is in February so depending on how long you take to read it you'd be welcome to hop in with us because we are doing Stormlight books every three months I believe going into the release of Stormlight 5 next November.

Let's hear the gramophone beneath our ribs; our brainstem needle’s on the record’s back. Somebody’s bound to cherish how it skips, the way it weebles onward past each scratch. A soulmate’s call will seem to sing along. Thy ear was meant to be against their chest, to slowly fall asleep within their arms. Thy name an opera in a single breath. Who noticed Saturn breaking character? She tilts her skirt to try and spy on us. With rings as flat as vinyl albums turn, she looks into the audience too much. As lovers shelter, laughing in ballet, the lonely throw their roses on the stage.

I definitely chose to view The Last Word as a bit of a campy satire type of story bc otherwise I was not going to be on board for it, lol. I think No Exit was way stronger! Very exciting to hear about Under the Influence though, I had saved that on Scribd without knowing what it was about but now I really want to get to it. Sounds juicy and messy and I am all here for that hahah 😛 Hope you had a great trip to Italy! Take all the time you need to get back into the swing of things ;)

I remember being so effing annoyed with the ending of The Bone Witch, but I can't recall why... lol

The Other Boleyn Girl is not about Anne but her sister and is quite a good read I did enjoy it anyway

🐣

Bright Young Women sounds interesting if it is focussed on the victims. Reminds me of The Five by Hallie Rubenhold which tells the stories of the victims of Jack the Ripper rather than glorifying the murderer which a lot of true crime seems to do

Im so excited for all of these omg! Especially black sheep and bright young women!!! 🙌💕💕💯

Yay I am excited for Defiant too, I am really curious to see how that series concludes.

Thank you! I’m looking forward to read some of those ☀️

I would leave the book pictures up longer

My little hamster passed away tonight. I'm absolutely devastated. Book unhauls are always something I turn to when I'm feeling down. Great video

I am curious about for the wolf because I read The Foxglove King recently by that author and quite liked it. I am curious about the Keeper of Night because the premise sounds cool but I have heard literally nothing about it lol

Great video! My wife and I had to unhaul loads of books when we moved house two years ago. I was very sad as I love to collect books. I love Ray Bradbury but Farenheit 451 is definitely not his best effort. We actually need more shelf space for all the books we have now.
