The Women is circling my TBR.. I love the focus on women’s stories where they are typically not highlighted, but I have an aversion to war stories right now.. but your enthusiasm makes me reconsider.. Yaaaaaay Rhodes! Perfect book!!
wow! what a great reading month. i recently finished the women and i agree with everything you said. i just loved the pacing, the themes, the characters, the history...just, everything. i felt like i was frankie's friend and felt so honored to be in her life.
You gave Beware half a star more than I did 😂 Bummer that the third book in Empire of the Wolf wasn’t better. I’m glad you had such a great reading month!
I almost passed on All Rhodes Lead Here, because my library has one of those colorful, teenage covers.. grinds my gears. Makes it look like teenage fluff.
I've never read Hazelwood, and thought I would give Bride a try...but I haven't been hearing the best things. Damn, Laymon got beat out for the worst of the month! Looking glass was a big disappointment for me too. Misery 💜 Other books I just read last week: "what was the MC's name again?" King books I read 10 years ago: I know first and last name of characters still.
There was actually a book worse than Laymon!! So accurate, I could list to at least 10 King characters with no problem but don’t ask me the names of any of the characters from the book I’m currently reading. 🤣🤣🤣
I’ve put off Normal Women because I just know it’s not going to be as good as Motherthing 😅 Ahhhh this makes me so excited to read Ready or Not!! Also I just got the tainted cup on Libby, I can’t wait!
You dnfed a book you didn't know you were dnfing 😅 oh glad to know raiders of the lost Heart wasn't awful. I couldn't get over the absolute no explanation of how the time travel worked in Kindred.
Sorry I'm so late to this, Venus! I have so many videos to catch up on. 🙈 And forgive me but I'm commenting as I watch. 😁 That's so disappointing about Midnight on Beacon Street. I was looking forward to it too but now I think I'll pass. And I already heard about Richard Laymon so I know to stay away from him. Deep Freeze I tried and it just wasn't grabbing me. Like you said not much was happening. But I like the audiobook so I'll see if I can finish it that way. I want to try reading Misery because I love the movie so much but I heard about the chapters that are parts of the book he's writing and that made me not want to read it. Hmm... maybe I'll give it a try "Whooped his brother's ass." 😄😄😄 The "human canoe"!!! Omg I forgot all about that! 🙈😄 But yesssss I'm so glad we both loved The Ascent too! Favorite of the year so far! I shared an interview that the author did and he said there will be a book 2. Yay! Can't wait! 🙌🏾 I need other crime thriller recommendations like it please. 🙏🏾 So glad you had such a great reading month, Venus! Hope March is going well for you too. ☕️📚😊
Awww thank you so much for watching Nakia! You will definitely be bored with Midnight on Beacon Street. 🤣 The audiobook is what helped me finish Deep Freeze. 😬 You could definitely read Misery and not miss much be skipping over the excerpts from Paul’s book. That’s what I did. 😂 Hope you’re having a great reading month so far. I’m in a bit of a slump. 😩
I read Midnight on Beacon Street in February and gave it a 2 Star as well. My least favorite read of the year so far. The set up was great but the execution fell flat for me. Just bored. I am hoping the next book from this author is better and willing to give them another chance.
Definitely not for you if you struggle with male authors. 🤣 Laymon is a hot mess. Have you tried Riley Sager(thriller) or Grady Hendrix (horror)? They write pretty good female characters.

Yaaaaaay Rhodes! Perfect book!!
The Women definitely spends a long time in the war setting and it’s rough. ❤️Aurora, Rhodes and Amos🫶
I loved Ready or Not as well.
Such a fantastic surprise of a book!

Beware was such a shit show but I did like the killer storyline so he got half a star extra for effort. 🤣🤣
Man that is a lot of books read, impressive. I kinda like the disturbing books lol, but will keep checking your channel out for good reads.
Thank you!😊
I almost passed on All Rhodes Lead Here, because my library has one of those colorful, teenage covers.. grinds my gears. Makes it look like teenage fluff.
I’m not a fan of the animated covers either. I had to buy my copy off eBay. The original cover is so much better.
I love how many 5 stars you found! That's so cool
If only every month could be so good! 🤣📚

I read the first book in the Expanse series and didn’t love it.
But I’m watching the TV series and it’s sooo good!
I definitely plan to check out the series once I’ve read a few more books. I’m afraid of spoilers. 🤣
I’ve put off Normal Women because I just know it’s not going to be as good as Motherthing 😅
Ahhhh this makes me so excited to read Ready or Not!! Also I just got the tainted cup on Libby, I can’t wait!
So bummed about Normal Women!😩 I hope you love Ready or Not and The Tainted Cup!!
I have never read a Richard Laymon book. I'm not sure if I ever will🤣
Laymon is definitely an acquired taste.🤣
He, Graham Masterton & Bentley Little are all very problematic.
I didn't like Midnight on Beacon Street either!! Ugh thankfully it was short because I was so bored too!
It was such a disappointment.😩
You dnfed a book you didn't know you were dnfing 😅 oh glad to know raiders of the lost Heart wasn't awful. I couldn't get over the absolute no explanation of how the time travel worked in Kindred.
🤣 I never really 💯 understand any sci fi book I read.

@@VenusEscapesToRead Oh no! I hope it gets better soon! The same thing happened to me last month.

So boring! I agree I would definitely give the author another chance.
Richard laymon honestly sounds atrocious i tend to struggle with male authors,
Definitely not for you if you struggle with male authors. 🤣 Laymon is a hot mess. Have you tried Riley Sager(thriller) or Grady Hendrix (horror)? They write pretty good female characters.
