This was so fun to watch, also The Zodiac series sounds like a rollercoaster but it’s on fire and you’re just holding on for dear life😂 (also if anyone seeing my comment likes those books that’s so okay please keep having fun)
omg me grabbing my popcorn to get ready to hear what you think of Quicksilver and Spark of the Everflame! (Spark of the Everflame is one of my bookclub's books)
We have the same thoughts about the spark of the everflame! I like the story but the romance wasn't anything special, the writing was good but I didn't find a lot of amazing quotes. I love the feeling of not being able to stop reading and wanting to read when I'm not, this book was kind of slow for me. I felt there wasn't much action really happening and I love when the plot twist or the cliff hanger in the end gets me but I knew what was going to happen, I expected it coming. And I could so relate to you about the spice, you explained my feelings so well, I hate that kind of spice too and also the part where you say you read fantasy to escape and totally get immersed in that world, that's also why I really love fantasy!
Thanks for taking one for the team. I don't like seeing you in pain. Because of another booktuber I subscribe to, The Zodiac Academy was a series I was considering. Thanks to your video I think I will place Spark of the Everflame above it.
Thank you for doing this! Especially on Zodiac Academy. I saw some of the reviews and was like, "Ugh"... But it seems like Spark of the Everflame might be my cup of tea. As for viral books, I really enjoyed Heartless Hunter.
I recently read the Kindreds Curse Saga (the three that are out) and it gets even better as you go on, so I’d definitely recommend continuing on!! But I now know not to touch Zodiac Academy with a 10 foot pole 😂 Love your videos so much!!❤
As a lover of ACOTAR and pretty much majority of the same authors/books as you, I will take into account your review of The Zodiac Academy lol I don't think I want to give it a shot anymore lol 😅😅 I was never a fan of fan fiction stuff and I remember when wattpad started becoming a big thing but I never got into it so I'm just going to avoid it 😅 I'm sorry you suffered through it but I am also grateful to you for pulling through and giving your review!
I feel the same as you about needing to read books that people will think I won't enjoy just to confirm it myself. Sometimes I hate the book and other times I enjoy it. You'll never know until you read it yourself. I haven't read a single booktok book, I just don't think I can handle that.
I know a lot of viral booktok but never read any of them 😂 i am just scared 😂 to dip my toes, what if i am left traumatized by them 😂 specially spicy romantasy books 😂. Love your videos btw so entertaining ❤ . I was quite busy and just got free to watch your video.😊
@@galaxyj8556 totally 😂 there are alot of viral booktok reads that I’ve loved as well, so it’s really a hit or miss! Key is to find and follow people with similar book tastes to you ❤️
How you felt with the last book is how I felt while reading The Atlas Six (also a pretty popular TikTok book). I don’t think I ever got so angry at a book. Genuinely one of the worst books I’ve read and the worst part is that I bought the sequel too 🤦♀️ Also i’m happy you posted today because I caught a stomach bug from my brother and your videos always feel so comforting to me. So thank you ❤
@@jaimefok Quicksilver and Spark of the Everflame. I haven’t read Zodiac Academy, but I’ve heard good things about it, especially after you get past the first book. To each his own, I suppose.
@@shelleylawrence8397 of course! As I said, I have a ton of friends who love all these books as well - so it’s really is so individual. Sometimes it hits and sometimes it doesn’t!
I think your review on zodiac is quite idk what to word it, you could have just said its not for you since you already knew, all the other things you said made it sound unnecessarily bitter, when people say they won't read it in the comments because of you and you encouraging them instead of heeding them to form their own opinions as you did by deciding to read it just rubbed me off the worst way, not because i liked it but because keeping in mind authors watch these, yes honesty is important but being mindlful is just as important!
I'm sorry if you feel that way! As I mention in the video, I do try to normally be more censored about my negative reviews - but sometimes I do capture more of my raw feelings as well, which I think is important at times. I also mention a few times in the video that I have many friends who do genuinely enjoy the series, and I obviously don't think any less of anyone who does! As for people in the comments who say they won't be picking up the book due to my video, I compare it to if I had a friend who has similar book tastes who says they didn't enjoy a certain book - I'm probably not likely going to pick it up after knowing that. This book is also SO viral and popular already, with 9 books published in the series, an entire prequel series, and over 2 million books sold. It's not like I'm negatively reviewing an indie author's debut. They are extremely successful, and I honestly applaud the authors & team for that! Many people have also watched this video and are actually now even MORE curious to read Zodiac, so it goes both ways!
After all this time following you, I feel like I have a feel of what you like. I recently read Circe after it was recommended to you. And somewhere, I started wondering if the people that recommended it to you secretly don't like you 😭😭 I was like, I better warn Jaime just in case... I wished I could hug you after the distress you were in finishing that book. We thank you for your service! 😂🤣❤
your fav viral books GO:
vvv
The only booktok book I truly loved and also found on there was divine rivals
Catch the sun
Fourth wing! ❤
@@Sinnabookz good one!
@@trisharegalado YES
I also enjoyed Spark of the everflame. The second book is even better than the first one cant wait for you to read it!
@@Sllyp-sl8ct OH OK I’m excited!
Your kitty seemingly reading with you was the cutest thing EVER!
Lol they love when I read 😂
Also, I totally admire your unable to DNF books. I had a feeling you wouldn’t like Zodiac Academy. I wouldn’t either. Good job finishing it!
@@Soaring_Seajay I’m so stubborn 😂
oh good lord when i saw zodiac academy i started heavy breathing i've never physically cringed more in a book (but then read 6 of them lol x)
Omg LOL I have some friends who did the same as you 😂
I feel this on a whole new level 😂
This was so fun to watch, also The Zodiac series sounds like a rollercoaster but it’s on fire and you’re just holding on for dear life😂 (also if anyone seeing my comment likes those books that’s so okay please keep having fun)
@@Sinnabookz 100% LOL

I'm hearing the second book gets a lot better, which makes me even more excited to continue!
What a fun idea! I’m loving this video. Your floofs are so cute 😻 Funny about Kingfisher- have you read any books by T. Kingfisher? 😂
@@Soaring_Seajay I haven’t! Been on my TBR forever tho 😂
I also didn't love zodiac academy and don't understand why it's so popular but hey to each their own
I can see how it can get addicting, but yeah it’s not for me 😂
It reminds me of one of those shows where it's so trashy and such a train wreck, that you can't help but watch 😂
@@sassinsteadofclass1550 I was saying this to my friend! it's something I would BINGE as a tv show, but maybe not for me in reading format :P
The Violet Baudelaire's reference got me 😍
YES!

Definitely recommend spark of the everflame above zodiac academy!

LOL I should have listened to my friends who said zodiac wouldn’t be for me 😂
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh love you so much i was waiting for your videoooooooo ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
@@lilykim-uo8sm ILY ❤️
So glad you read these books so I don’t have to lol
@@xxflipchick22xx here for you 😂

YAY ok I’m hearing from everyone that Kindred’s Curse gets even better. EXCITED!

@@oxycleaner1990 it’s definitely wattpad style, which can be a good thing for some people, and a bad thing for others 😂❤️
@@jaimefok yes! I agree! It's not to say it's bad writing or anything but it's just not the style of writing I enjoy lol
I’ve heard good things about Spark!!
Def worth the hype!
That would be Lightlark for me. Loved it so much even as I didn't enjoy the whiplash 😂 ❤
Omg 😂
Loved hearing your opinion on these books! ❤
@@daphne.readsnl I’m so glad! ❤️❤️
Aw I’m sending you love❤
❤️❤️
I NEED you to read The Will of the Many it is amazingggg
IT’S ON MY LIST. I want to read it so badly!
The ending lol “you just vanish.. disappear.. “😂 I don’t think I would like that book either
@@Lillyjoy LOL I didn’t want to see it ever again 😂
This review was really helpful. I did read all 3 books of Spark of the Everflame, but I will NEVER read the other 2 series after this video 😂
@@malloriemoreno4263 omg 😂😂

There are for sure some booktok books that I’ve loved! It’s hit or miss 😂
Wow, I too imagine whenever I read some action scenes or any situation 😍
YES if it doesn’t make sense, I’m out 😂
I know a lot of viral booktok but never read any of them 😂 i am just scared 😂 to dip my toes, what if i am left traumatized by them 😂 specially spicy romantasy books 😂.

Hi, i was just wondering where you got your kindle case, i've been searching for a cute one and haven't really been sucessfull🙈
Hi hi! It’s actually just kindle brand :)
What’s the brand of your adorable Kindle case?!?!
It’s just the kindle brand! I got it as a bundle when I got the kindle ❤️
Have you read Lightlark and Nightbane? That’s more my tempo of spice similar to what you mentioned!
I haven’t! I’ve heard a lot about them though
not the permanently deleted book taking its sweet time to disappear 🤣
I was panicking 😂 thought it wouldn’t go away LOL
Zodiac the novel by Romina Russell. its about planets wher each planet is based off of a zodiac sign. not a school but interesting.
I’ll look it up! Thank you :)
I dnfd zodiac academy so fast
So I feel for your suffering
OH it was a rough ride 😂
😂 zodiac is cringey but I found it wildly addicting and read them all 😂
LOL I can see this
I read zodiac Academy book 1 because a friend urged me to. UGH.. what a hot mess.. NOT for me. nope.
@@Thedorkyreader omg LOL
Huh…I guess we have different reading tastes 😅 🤷🏻♀️
LOL which did you like? 😂❤️
