    I’m obsessed with your pop socket!! Where did you get it? I’m getting a kindle for myself for my birthday, and definitely coming back to this video once I get it! ❤️

    I'm unsure about a kindle just don't know how much I would use it. I also get migraines if I have too much screen time. I am running out of space for physical books though.
    Rhapsodic is great I think you might enjoy the Bargainer series.

      Having the warm/cool adjustment and being able to have it on night mode (black screen, white text) may help. But the one thing I don't love is that it seems like you pretty much have to have KU for it to be worth it and read at least 1-2 books from it a month to get your "money's worth" of the $10-12 subscription fee. Even then it doesn't really feel like the books are yours. I'm sure there's ways around that and to download other books without KU (how I got manacled) but it is much more of a process that I haven't totally figured out yet.
      But it is a nice way to try new genres or authors you don't want to directly spend money on and then have to deal with the physical book clutter (but then again there is always the library lol). Pros and cons for sure!! And it's not super cheap imo.
      I love the original cover of rhapsodic. I'll definitely get to it eventually

    Manacled scares me because I don’t have time for a new obsession 😂 I have a feeling it’s a rabbit hole/gateway book

      Hahah so true. Lochlyn is proof of that 😂😂 i feel like she's read no less than 15 other dramione fanfics since.
      From what I hear, it sounds like it may be an emotional rollercoaster, which I need once in a while. Im thinking I'm going to give it a try in November or December.

    Excuse me gothikana sounds super good and 100000% right up my alley????? adding it to my TBR right nowwwww
    I've seen three booktubers now mentioning brother but i'm taking this as a sign to read it lol i will check the TW before just in case but still adding it to my TBR!

      Oooo yayy!! You'll have to let me know what you think of it when you get to it. I hope we both love it 💖
      I've been brother quite a few times too. Consider me influenced 😂
      Ugh right!? The cover is stunning. I hope the actual book is just as good because I would love to have a physical copy in my collection.
      Thank you so much!! I got it from etsy :) there a bunch of seller for it. Just search "horror tarot card shirt" or something like that

    Any books on your Kindle that are downloaded but not on KU anymore you can still full read. Just put your kindle of "Airplane mode" while pulling up the book and you can get to reading!

    I loved watching your kindle decorate with me video a while back. Your sticker makeover was so cute and so you!
    5:05 This one was a fun read! I didn’t care for the ending though. It went in a strange direction but when I read the acknowledgements, I figured out why 😂
    12:51 I really liked the Clown Hunt. It was actually my first extreme horror novel that I vlogged in my clown video last November. It has great queer rep!
    17:17 okay Brother isn’t disturbing for me but it’s BLEAK AS HELL. It was my last read of May and I had to shove another book in because I couldn’t end the month on such a downer 😂
    25:24 I DNFed the audiobook for Hex less than 10% in but many people love it!!

    • @WickedScorpio
      @WickedScorpio  Год назад

      Ooo saying it went in a strange direction almost makes me more curious 😂😂
      I actually really like the premise of the clown hunt. I will def have to watch your vlog for it!! I'm scared for extreme haha
      I've been convinced to read brother. The ratings shocked me, but its good to know its bleak so im in the right space for it.
      Less than 10%?? Damn that's not good at all 😅 was it the book itself or the narrator for you?

    Brother is actually sooo good one of my fav horrors ever. There's definitely mention of the familial things you brought up but nothing super graphic or extensive.
    Court of the Vampire Queen is quite literally the opposite side of the spectrum lmao. That is truly the craziest book I've read from a smut perspective. It's like 85% smut but honestly it's pretty entertaining haha. It is long tho.

    • @WickedScorpio
      @WickedScorpio  Год назад

      The ratings SHOCKED me. But im so glad it's not graphic or extensive with the familial stuff bc that make me feels particularly icky lol. Fine I'll read it 🙈
      Hahaha yeah someone mentioned it's straight up erotica, so it may end up being a book that takes me awhile to get through that I only pick up on very specific moods/nights 😂😂 but I'll def still give it a try!

    I hope you like Black Rose. I think I'm done with Karina Halle though 😂
    The War of Lost Hearts trilogy is my favorite FanRo series, can't wait for you to finish it!
    Divine Rivals really surprised me since YA usually doesn't work me, but I really loved it and I'm looking forward to the sequel.
    Blood Mercy is still in my KU library, just waiting to be in the mood.
    I'm skipping the Of Flesh & Bone series and starting The Coven instead since I hear her writing has gotten better with more recent works and I'm just "fae'd out" right now.
    Ooh yes, I'm reading Hex in October. I loved Fear the Flames too, another one where I can't for the sequel.

    • @WickedScorpio
      @WickedScorpio  Год назад +1

      Black Rose is Karina halles last chance for me lmao
      I seriously need to get to the rest of the war of lost hearts. I have the serpent and the wings of night and its sequel sitting in some packages I havent opened yet 🙈😂
      That's what I keep hearing for divine rivals! And YA is really difficult for me too, especially romance but im so curious and excited for it. But I'm trying not to get too hyped and ruin it for myself
      I really like the synopsis of What lies beyond the veil so I will definitely still read it, but if I notice the writing is top notch, I'll keep that in mind and still try another work. I havent heard of the coven yet, so I'll have to look into that one too.
      Ooo ok ill try to get to Hex in October then so we can read it at similar times!!

      @@WickedScorpio Serpent was good, but I still liked War of Lost Hearts books more. Serpent is more action-packed and plot driven, but I wanted it to slow down and have more character development and romance. I'm halfway through Sic Scorched Roses (1.5) before I get to Ashes. It's great so far, all the sexy vampire vibes, and the heroine is a baddie. Yeah The Coven and The Cursed are the newer L. Harper books, also on KU. Looking forward to Hex, hope we both love it.

    Gothikana was genuinely one of the worst books I've ever read. The plot was soooooooo messy and it's actually so poorly written I couldn't believe it was published.
    Divine Rivals is INCREDIBLE! You should absolutely pick that one up sooner rather than later.
    Manacled is insane and it takes you on a journey! It broke me into a million pieces and I loved every second of it (and I love that people are logging really long completed fanfic as book on goodreads now it makes me so happy!)

    • @WickedScorpio
      @WickedScorpio  Год назад

      Lmao, gothikana seems to be one people either love or hate. Bad writing will make me dnf so fast. I'll still give it a chance and see where I land, but based on that, I have a good feeling 🙈
      The hype for divine rivals is so real. I'm feeling the pressure hahah, but I definitely will!
      Oooo okay I may try to read manacled in November/December when I'm extra in my feels. I love a good tear-jerker and emotional rollercoaster.
