@@Booksarebetterthanhumans1989 okay so you could go into it with just reading the serpent and the wings of night and the ashes of the star cursed king or you could read the novella in between the books which is called six scored roses I think. I haven’t read that novella bc I’m on budget and I’m getting the ashes of the star cursed king for Christmas I think. Have fun reading!
Perfect timing!!!! I recently found your videos and I just have to say they're so cozy and I love watching you talk about books! P.S. thank you for adding to my neverending TBR, you're the best
I just started my 60th book of the year which is definitely the most I have read in a year, 140 is insane! About to go into a slump as my Uni exams are coming up in January but I know your videos and the rest of the book girlies will get me through! Have a great Christmas Destiny and everyone who watches 💞💞💞
100% agree ! I do not see as much hype around CRESCENT CITY and there should be! Absolutely love love love I think about the characters probably once a day and find myself getting super emotional over it when I’m in my car driving lol LOVE❤
I starting heir of fire this wee. So excited to move on in the TOG world. I’m halfway through daisy haites and can’t wait to keep reading. I’ll be starting saving 6 this month also, when they release it on ebook. Love these.. so far my absolute number 1 book has been Keeping 13. So I am very ready to jump back in with Joey
Love that you have smj as your top 2!! Crescent city series is so amazing and throne of glass is just everything I love her 3 series with all my heart and I can't wait for her new book!!! I'm hoping aelin makes an appearance and all the other characters!! I will literally go crazy if it don't happen all 3 worlds must cross over!!!
Totally random but have you seen marbles agents of shield? If not, watch it! It’s so good and nobody talks about it! Also the romance is top tier!! Love your videos!
I have to read happy place! And finish the TOG series. So happy you loved House of Sky and Breath!! I loved that one and can’t wait for book three to release in January!!
My favorites of the year, in no order: The Other Side by Kim Holden (1st 6 star read of the year, the mental health talk is so important) Shadowlands trilogy by Kate Brian Safe Harbor by K. Sinko Franco by Kim Holden The Naturals series - JLB Red Queen series - Victoria Aveyard (almost done with 3rd) Reminders of Him deserves an honorable mention.
Great Vid !! I'm new to Fantasy/Romance books, and Fourth Wing, really had me reading breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But your reactions to your favorite book "House of Sky and Breath has me wanting to give it a try.
I read the Caraval series and I am so excited to get into Once Upon A Broken Heart, that's up next! I enjoyed the storied life of AJ Fikry sooo much. That book changed my life and truly made me feel like books speak to us most when we read them at certain points in our lives. I also read Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow and would very much recommend that to late 80's/ 90's kids. So nostalgic. The seven Year slip is possibly my favorite romance novel I read this year.
20. that book cover is stunning! 19. i bought carrie soto is back this year and i haven't gotten around to reading it yet but i have a feeling it will be a fave of mine too bc i looove tjr my favourite books i've read this year (the only ones i rated 5 star) was where the crawdad sings, the only one left by riley sager, and you are a badass at making money

You should definitely give The Plated Prisoner series a try (Gild being the first book). It's a fantasy romance that I haven't seen very much of but it's good. You'll cheer on the main girl as she fights for her independence and cheer for her relationship with a very morally grey villain who is the villain to everyone but her. Dual POV as well.
Some of my faves this year were A Court of Silver Flames, When in Rome, The whole Magnolia Parks series but I’m a Daisy girl, and The Dead Romantics. And I am starting TOG next year!
I just read They Call Her Sofia by Doris Ladino and I loved it! It’s a book about healing and finding self love after being betrayed and manipulated. It’s sweet and spicy. The audiobook is very entertaining and easy to listen to. Overall , It’s a feel good book and fast read. Enjoy!
I just read by a thread in about 1 day and I don't think I'm ever going to get over that book. I love them. Also I desperately need a book about Christian and Faith because they could have such a good relationship down the line and I'd pay so much to see it
I was so excited to see this video! Clicked so fast. 😅 Great selection 😊 My favourite book of the year is Manacled. 😍Followed by the entire Zodiac Academy series. 😅🥹😍Fourth Wing and Iron Flame are also one of my favourite books of the year. These books rekindled my love of dragons.
The Shadow Demons Saga all 11 books so far 5 stars. The Lunar Chronicles is a dark twist on Disney. Lots of fun. The Mediator series by Meg Cabot was great. Nancy Drew Kachina Doll #62 Nancy Drew The Secret Of Red Gate Farm #6.
I love your outfit!!! I didn’t manage to read 23 books but I’m hoping to finish happy place before the year ends❤ can I get a W for being able to read again cos I couldn’t read after I got broken up with and it’s taking me forever to read properly again
I read 51 books in 2023 but I only gave 5 stars to: ACOMAF, Fourth Wing and Babel. Divine Rival was 4 star along with ACOTAR. The rest were all 3 or less.
There’s just something so adorable about watching people talk about their favorite books there’s just this glow in them and it makes me happy too
