@@nightreader1264 oh yeah, I hear you!! Some 4< books on Goodreads are not my cup of tea…I’m going back to the “old days” when I picked up books based on synopsis and bookstore recs without reading ratings or reviews…

@@lucero3945 I’m glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for your kind comment!!

@@lucero3945 I always liked her and really interested to see her journey, I always felt SJM was intentional in hiding her from us, I hope for something special. 🤗

@@Beaker1632 hahahahaha thank you!! I’m a drama queen!! 🤗😂

Thank you for your kind comment!!

Uh that was tough, almost all of these were tough!! Favourites are probably not my thing…😂😂

Hahahaha, yeah next time maybe I will try that!! OMG, Harry Potter!!! I think it started it for many people!!

Love it 🥰

@@Showtunediva I have not seen the musical, but heard of it and I know it is famous and apparently fantastic! Yes, I think I would like it 😃

@@Rose-nw7px oh really?? It got me! The author made me rooting for the characters. I don’t know if it was the audio or not but I flew through it…maybe the second book will give more answers when it comes to the plot??

@@ThePetiteReader I probably won't read it but my petty criticism is how could three women be trapped in the woods without mentioning the bathroom situation? LOL definitely a man author! :D

@@Rose-nw7px I see, valid!! 😂

@@Kittyzero13426 I think you can easily finish 8 books in the upcoming month!! What are the ones you are looking forward the most?

@@Kittyzero13426 I refuse to let Summer go, clinging on to it with everything I have, I am still in my slow Summer days era 😁

@@ThePetiteReader I would have to say Wolfsong and Her Majesty's Royal Coven because I have been waiting to read them for October.

@@Kittyzero13426 oh these sound so good!! Her majesty’s royal coven is looking very tempting…

I loved Wolfsong!

@@ChrisDailyReading I love involving nature in my vlogs as much as I can ❤️

@@ChrisDailyReading the watchers is the best horror I’ve read in a while. Let me know how you liked it 🤗

@@BookwormVlogz do you know the title??

Yeah, Bride was the best as far as AH goes. 🤗

I have not read happy place yet but funny story was soooo good!! Definitely one of the best books this year! I am super tough on contemp romance, but that book got me…

I would say throne of glass gets better with book #3. The first and the second are not really good…those are kinda a chore 😂

If you mean that you are not planning to read six scorched roses - the novella to serpent and wings of night - I have to say that that was my favorite out of the three books 😂. I actually really liked it. Lilith and Vale are characters in the second book, it is worth to get to know them…

Oh yeah the ILOAL is slow at times but sometimes I don’t mind slow, as long as it is not boring 🤣

😘

@@freeyourmindlove-4e maybe it was just the owner cleaning out from old books?? 🤷🏻‍♀️

@@ThePetiteReader I really, really hope so!

I see, thank you for the clarification!! Cannot wait for the sequels and prequels 🤣

What are your options?

@@ThePetiteReader Daughter of Smoke and Bone, The Happy Ever After Playlist, and The Dream Thieves

@@Kittyzero13426 I have not read any of these...I've heard good things about daughter of smoke and bone though...

​@@ThePetiteReaderI am actually finally reading Laini Taylor's novels because a read-a-long for her work is going to be starting next month with someone I follow.

@@Kittyzero13426 I hope you will love them!!

@@Rose-nw7px 🤗 you will love it

@@Showtunediva hey 👋 welcome to the community 😘

@@Showtunediva hahahahahaha same here, I need to budget!! 🤗

@@sarahsho9799glad to hear!! Which ones are you interested in?

My understanding is that the mating bond is a gift from the Mother and not the cauldron.

@@ThePetiteReader I remember (vaguely) something about it being the cauldron now and the mother was lost to them or something or other. So could be cauldron made mating bond is different to mother’s mating bond. In general I mean, not just specific for Elain. I also think SJM has thrown in sooo many different breadcrumbs so that we don’t actually guess what she’s really going to do 😩

@@itsmilesy_ Maybe sometimes SJM herself cannot follow 🤣

I did not get the impression in the books that Night or Autumn would care at all for Elain's love life.

It's not obligatory for Elain to choose Lucien...if she doesn't she doesn't...her loss :)

@@ThePetiteReader haha well I think if she didn’t choose him it would be best for both of them bc ultimately they should each have someone right for them that chooses them etc. I just know that SJM prefers her books to be focused on the females journey/choice etc. and the only reason I got the impression the night and autumn court would care, is because it is seen as though Elain belongs to Lucien in fae’s tradition about mating bonds. Hence Rhys forbidding Az from elain bc a blood duel could be declared and cause internal war which Rhys doesn’t want

But it also could be a slow burn friends to lovers vibe with Lucien and Elain if it is their book? I just don’t know why SJM would write Azriel as the one who ‘sees’ her and is always helping her and knows what she needs and specifically has dialogue to say it would be her mate that could figure out what was wrong and have Lucien in that same scene* not figure it out. Idk, she’s driving me crazy haha

@@itsmilesy_ I would love a friends to lovers...

SJM herself associates Elain with Spring and light in her books. We don't really know what Elain thinks or feels as it is not explained in the books. I hope we will get more of her in the upcoming books.

@@ThePetiteReader yeah I suppose, but I also think Elain had gotten settled with her family there and also her friendship with Nuala and cerridwen which really helped her get back to herself after the trauma, it wouldn’t make much sense for her to just leave it all behind for someone she’s mostly avoided? But I suppose it’s always possible she’ll decide to go there once the relationship has progressed enough. Though we do know some of what Elain thinks and feels because it was her dialogue that said ‘I am a part of the night court’ and was determined to go to court of nightmares to help. And SJM said next book will be about choice, so who knows maybe Elain will shock us all and choose something else entirely 😂😅

@@itsmilesy_ We will see what SJM creates...Reading ACOFAS and ACOSF I had this feeling that through Elain and Lucien SJM will dissect the mating bond. Can you fall in love with your mate in a preordained bond? Does the Mother/Fate knows better? Is it fate or is it choice? I have a feeling that we will make the conclusion it's both!🤣

Thanks 🤗

Thank you!!

@@suzannedavies7996 I am glad to hear it was a five star book for you! I hope that whoever picks it up from the LFL will enjoy it too!!

I mostly read adult, but the kids probably have their parents with them (or some other adult) and I should supply them too!!

Welcome!! I hope you will enjoy the community!!

@@oliviaelliston786 oh I’m sorry to hear you had such a bad experience with his book. Which one was it?

Hahahahahaha 🤣🤣

🫢😂

Moving those two apart was MY community service 🤣🤣

​@@ThePetiteReader lol 😆 I just got what they were saying. I'm not a romance genre type of girl. But even I wouldn't ever read C H . Maybe Sally Rooney in the far future ❤

Thanks for the suggestion!! I will suffer once I am done with her backlist…Who can live up to the expectations and scratch the same itch?? 😩

I’m glad to see that both series you recommended are available through Libby!! 😊

@@ThePetiteReader Yay!! Hope you enjoy them ! Happy Reading ❤️

@@Kittyzero13426 I am becoming slowly addicted to this 🤣

​@@ThePetiteReader I definitely love going to little free libraries. They are sooo fun to look around in ❤.

@@YW2324I agree 😊

@@ThePetiteReader yesss 😅 it's definitely entertaining. Especially finding a good book 📖

Great!!! I hope you will find something good!☺

@@Jen-fantasyandfiction 🤗

Any other romantasy series you are currently reading/in the middle of?

I’m in support of that as well because I haven’t even started it

@@rubeuspotter719 😆

@@ThePetiteReader I’m serious. Haven’t bought Fourth Wing or Iron Flame though I have been tempted to. I prefer dragon books without romance, cause I’m here for the thrill

@@rubeuspotter719 I have not read many books with dragons, but I recently finished fire and blood by George RR Martin and I was obsessed!!

Yep, I got an email (I preordered it) that the new date is next April...or maybe next Fall 😄. I'm happy to wait as long as it is delayed for editing and quality reasons 😉

Hey, welcome to the community!! Happy to have you here, I hope you will enjoy the videos!! 😘

Yes, all the books on the shelves (and the floor) are read, my TBR is on the cart only 🤗
