    Always a wonderful surprise to see Emma back in my sub feed ❤I really enjoyed The Toll, and thought it was a good, epic conclusion to a great series. I am planning on rereading the Scythe trilogy this year, and I'd be super interested to hear your thoughts on The Toll when you do return to it!

  • @thefriesofLockeLamora

    I'm a mood reader and pick books to read because of vibes. I picked up Kitchen Confidential earlier this year and after the first two essays I just wasn't connecting with it. I almost got into a reading slump so I switched to fantasy which perked me up significantly. I'll pick up Bourdain's work later in the year

    One series that I started but never finished is the shadowhunter series. I read the first three books, but it just didn't stick, so I never continued with it. I want to, though, maybe someday, because you make it sound intriguing. Being an INFJ as well, I have noticed that we have a similar taste in books a lot of the time

  • @daydream1066

    I'm still holding onto the hope that I will FINALLY finish "Throne of Glass" as I am now on book five like 300 pages in. aaaannnnndddd I am on week 2 or 3 of a pause because now I am in the mood for Agatha Christie lmao XD. Perhaps I will finished "Empire of Storms " this week... maybe. And by the way this is my 3rd or 4th time trying to read this series all the way through. I really do enjoy the books, I just always end up in a different book mood by the time I get to book 4 lmao.

    I kept DNFing Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco. It is not a bad book, I think it's because of my mood, and my mind keeps saying "Don't read it if you're not in a mood" and then I put it down. I do want to finish the series completely because I must be the only one not finishing the series 😮😮

    I have two types of DNF. 1. it was boring. 2. it was too exciting and I don't want to finish it because I don't want it to end. 😅

  • @clareashcraft3411
    @clareashcraft3411 Před rokem

    I do not think This Close to Okay is worth going back and finishing haha, that book pissed me off.
    One book I dnfed and want to go back to is When You Are Engulfed in Flames by David Sedaris. I went into it not knowing who David Sedaris was and the book was just weird and didnt keep my attention, but now ive heard him speak and understand his ethos a bit better and i think i would read it differently
