My name is Beccie. I read all genres but romance and fantasy are my favorites. I tend to read lesser known books with a few popular ones sprinkled in. I love to travel to indie bookstores and share my thoughts through bookish discussions. If one of my eyes ever looks like it's staring off camera, it's because I have Amblyopia
Will My Monthly Faves Make my Best Books of the Year list?
Let's go through my favorite book from the first seven months and see if I think they will make it to my top 10 of 2024 list.

I have also added In the Hour of Crows to my TBR! My best books of the year so far are: The Women; The Sword of Kaigen; The Spellshop; The Adventures of Amina al-Serafi and The Perfumist of Paris.
@deacongirls4227 ahhhh glad you enjoyed The Spellshop too
I haven’t read any of these books but you’ve convinced me on the wolf king! It’s on KU which is perfect. Do I have to read book one in the series to read it tho?
@BeingDaphne yes you really should read book 1 first. There is also a free novella from the author's website if you sign up for her newsletter but it contains a major spoiler so I'd suggest reading it after book 1
@@BecxReadz got it! will do!
I enjoyed Where The Dark Stands Still and for some reason the world building reminded me of The Singing Ringing Tree on tv when I was younger
@@martacox8411 I'm so glad you loved it.
Unicorn Bait sounds like a lot of fun (vibes wise, it reminds me of that old french movie series Les Visiteurs 😆)! Adding it to my tbr! 😊
@natasagajic1061 ahh that's awesome. It's a silly fun time story, every now and then that's all ya need.
@@BecxReadz Absolutely! 😁
🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛

I think you convinced me to add In the Hour of Crows to my TBR!
@@iliannal I hope you love it if you read it
J. Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See F. No Gods No Monsters by Cadwell Turnbull M. Taken by the Witch Queen by Luna Fury A. The Hidden Guardian by J.D.L Rosell M. Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir J. No Mans Chattel by Lee Swansen (worst month) J. Wolf Winter by Cecilia Ekbäck A. Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus January and August were the best/hardest to choose. June was the best that month but overall might make a top 40 list. One Dark Window is the only one I read of yours and I 1☆ed it (sorry again) but glad you loved it!
@@zachreads very nice selection. I've only heard maybe 2 people who didn't like Project Hail Mary.
🐦⬛
Robert Beatty is my favorite author.
@@tammieweaver5436 nice glad you enjoy his books

Is that book The Wren In The Holly Library is that a romance?

🧹 have you all scheduled the sprints and live show for September?
@@abi_jean_reads sprints will be Sept 15 at 3pmest on Laura's channel. Live Show will be Sept 30 at upm est on Kristin's channel
@@BecxReadz thank you!!! what time is that live show?
🛳
Spending no money on books! I’m impressed! 🚢
@pardonthisbookaddict I know right.
Awww, too sad to hear that the Empire of Shadows has an annoying fmc. I had it on my radar for a while now for the same reason as you did - The Mummy comparison 😅 My favorite read of August was easily The Liar's Knot my M.A. Carrick (the 2nd book in the Rook & Rose trilogy). This is my favorite series of this year, so far at least. I adore pretty much everything about it. The characters are just 🥰 Oh! Also, my reread of Ruined by Sarah Vaughn, Sarah Winifred Searle and Niki Smith, which is an inclusive regency romance comic with the arranged marriage trope, made me cry. I would warmly recommend it, if it sounds interesting 😊
@natasagajic1061 I think it wanted to have the banter that Rick and Evie did but it tried too hard. Awww Ruined does sound cute.
@@BecxReadz Yeah, I can imagine. Sad times, I was quite looking forward to it 🥲 I really love Ruined, I read it twice this year already. Both characters are nice, but insecure and try to make the marriage work. The side characters are also lovely and I especially appreciate that the authors took care to include many types of body shapes 🥰
@@natasagajic1061 that sounds so sweet
I read "I married a naga" by regine abel and it's sooo good.
@@RedKimmy18 it's so so good. Glad you enjoyed it

I'm so darn excited for Somewhere Beyond the Sea but also worried that I won't love it as much. I'll also be reading September House and a bunch of books for a romance readathon.
@Micmezle I enjoyed Sptember House and I totally feel that about worrying I won't enjoy book 2 as much. Here's hoping it's as good.
📚
That's a lot of witchy books! I think I will go for paranormal romance in September. Also am I the only one that likes reading Xmas novellas all year round? 😂
@@iliannal happy reading. I have to be in the mood for Christmas stories, but I have a few ready to go when I'm there.
Good luck with your tbr! 😊📚📚📚 I'm too much of a mood reader to make a tbr, but since I'm currently in the middle of 10+ books (ah, the joys of being a mood reader) 😅, I am hoping to finish at least some of them in September 🤞
@natasagajic1061 I'm a mood reader as well that's why my tbrs haven't been going great haha. Best of luck finishing out the books.
I noticed I have a backlog of dinosaur and fox books so I'm doing a personal reading event called Dinofoxtember. The one from each category I'm looking forward too are Primordial Earth by Bailiegh Higgens and The Fox Wife by Yangsze Choo
@zachreads Dinofox hahaha that would be an interesting creature to imagine.
I can’t believe it. It’s time for September TBR. I started a book to channel. It’s called Angie ‘s romance books.
@angiemarquez06 oh that's awesome. I hope you love it here on Booktube.
🧹🧹🧹
My next witchy read is going to be Her Spell that Binds Me by Luna Oblonski, I hear it's veey good, sapphic, steamy, and very witchy! Ive also been eyeing Inkmistress by Audrey Coulthurst which might lean a lil more YA The two Genevieve Gornichec books are my top two witch books this year, but "The Midnight Girls" by Alicia Jasinska (YA) and Taken by the Witch Queen by Luna Fury (5 pepper smut with good writing and story) are my other faves!
@@zachreads adding all these to my witchy list.
looking forward to my reread! it's been a long while since I read it.
@@happily_ever_april so happy you'll be joining us
You have such good shelf control! 🛍️🛍️
@readwithdrb of all the gifts I could be bestowed with, self control was what I got.
I watched it! lol and I enjoyed your commentary on the first book ❤
@@readwithdrb I appreciate it.
The Ever King is on my TBR! Also, the cleaning motivated me to do some cleaning haha
@readwithdrb yeah, I'm glad I could help motivate you.
🧙
👑 What a fun idea. Y'all have to tell me what the sept theme is cause I've recently been racking up a lot of books and have no idea where to start when it comes to reading them. 😅
@jessicadoneganreads we will pick a theme in September and the next vlog collab will take place in October.
I haven''t heard of any of these books, but going to look into The Ever King. 👑
@stardustindy70 that's what I'm here for to share books you've never heard of 😃
@@BecxReadz and I greatly appreciate it. ☺
New subscriber here! I stumbled upon your Slow Burn Recs video a few days ago while looking for some fantasy slow burn recs and I added quite a few to my TBR 😊 I pretty much immediately picked up "Serpent's Touch" by Marina Simcoe and almost finished in a single sitting. While I didn't fall head over heels over the story (the love interest), I quite enjoyed Amira as a protagonist. I even cried a few times for her 🥺 Do you have any other recs for fantasy romance (preferably slow burn) where the female protagonist is gentle, intelligent and grows as a person throughout the story? I'm personally sick and tired of the current trend of mean girl female protagonists who are usually also too dumb to live 🙄
@natasagajic1061 ooooh I'm glad you gave Serpent's Touch a try. Hmmmm that'd a tough one most fmcs are bad ass characters. It's more ya but Into the Heartless Wood by Joanne Ruth Meyer has a more sweet understated fmc and a beautiful no spice romance. I'll always recommend Radiance by Grace Draven. Ildiko is a very smart character who while strong isn't overly bad ass. Now I'm going to be on the hunt for more sweet fmcs.
@@BecxReadz I think that being badass and being gentle doesn't have to be mutually exclusive 😉 I'm just tired of the current trend of having mean fmcs that are borderline abusive, verbally _and_ physically (glaring at SJM for popularizing this). I always use Margaery Tyrrell from GOT as one great possible example for being both very intelligent and kind. Of course, even more sweet characters are possible 😊 Juliet Marillier has a fantastic, kind fmc in her Blackthorn & Grim trilogy if you like Celtic settings and properly adult characters, albeit fmc is somewhat grumpy (but with a good reason). T. Kingfisher also has a few, but her romances sadly don't tend to work for me. I have my eye on The Bridge Kingdom duology by Danielle L. Jensen and Reign & Ruin by... I forgot the author, but the one that won the SPFBO a few years ago 😅 I'm hoping at least one of those will work for me. If you end up finding more, please do share 💖😊 I'm always searching for them, because they are so rare 🥺 Oh! Also, I read Radiance by Grace Draven a few years ago and found it to be very mediocre 😅 I didn't buy that the characters found each other disgusting looking in the beginning, which made the romantic tension non-existent for me and I was also miffed by the mustache twirling villain 😅
@natasagajic1061 I need to read some Juliette M books, I do love Celtic mythology. I totally agree we need more balanced fmcs who are bad ass yet softer at the same time. You can take down the enemy but still treat your love interest with respect and kindness and have friendships with other people mixed in.
@@BecxReadz This! Yes!! 😁 Thank you for succinctly saying what I was flailing around to say in a whole paragraph! 😅
Honestly the last book I read with Royalty is The School for Good and Evil which I am reading the series with Sara, we have two books to go.
@deacongirls4227 hey that works.
The Ever King is one of my favorite books I read this year. Glad to see you liked it!
@kateg7424 love a good pirate story.
I love this idea! I think I’m just going to do this without making the video for it. I need an excuse to unhaul some kindle books lol
@autumnrose_noseinabook please do, get some of those books outta there
I discovered your unstuff your Kindle videos about a week ago and I managed to finish one myself. It was "Fake crown" by W. Million. It turned out to be a fake dating college sports romance. The hero is a swimmer who is trying to get to the Olympics and the heroine is from a small country and is very close to the Royal Family there. Anyway the whole book was about them having spicy time. Sadly I didn't like it but thank god it was free. Anyway... I'll try to read another one before the month ends. A couple of weeks ago I read "A soul to guide" by Opal Reyne and I loved it! It's fantasy monster romance and the fmc is also blind. As for Jen Lynning I got her last two books as arcs and they were pretty good. One was a beauty and the beast retelling and the other was a Cinderella retelling.
@Georgia7Pap awwww I didn't know A Soul had a blind character, I read book 1 in that series but never continued. Ice tried so many free books that I end up dnfing cause they're awful but at least they get removed from my kindle. Thanks so much for participating with us
When are the Weaver and the Witch Queen sprints? And can you link the channel plz. I've been using Arm and Hammer "fresh burst" laundry detergent, I like it bc it smells like gummy bears! I do use pods but next time I'm going to get the liquid bc it's way cheaper. (Unfortunatly the matching dryer sheets smell normal not like gummybears :(
@zachreads we already had sprints so our live show will be on Sunday the 25th at 2pm est on firstladyreads

aw yay! I'm so glad you liked the ever king! book 2 is good too.
