    The 2nd series is still multi POV but with smaller cast of characters & his current series is even better

I love the quality of the videos you both put out and it doesn’t matter how long it is in between I know I’m gonna be getting a super fun video! I have already added books from both videos to my TBR now. Thank you for sharing your love of books with us!❤❤❤

    This was so much fun to watch, as always! 💛
    You and Ian are always so sweet to watch, and the books he gave you looked really great! I really appreciate how honest you are - especially during Malice. I've been wanting to jump into more fantasy books, but there's always a worry in the back of my head that I'm not going to be "smart enough" to fully understand and enjoy it. It was really cool to see you push past the hard part of Malice and really fall in love with it. I'm definitely going to be adding it to my tbr - along with Dark Matter and The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry!

    I just stumbled upon this video, but it seems like so much fun. Going to have to watch more of your videos. I wish I'd heard Ian's description of Dark Matter first lol, when I heard about it everyone used the plot twist to describe it, and I didn't even realize *that* was the twist until it happened. I'd just been waiting for the guy to figure it out already lol.

    Oh my goodness your reactions were priceless. I actually watch this a while back and had to rewatch again just so I can write a comment. Malice it sounded you really liked was ur score based of how long it was or lack of female in it and do you plan to read the others some day. Curious cause I have the series as well and haven’t started it yet. Book 1 I definitely need to get loved ur take on it was like u were lost of words and I do own Dark Matter and definitely need to read you got me all excited for it. Ian was just great his enthusiasm was bursting out he was finishing ur train of thought lol great reactions 😂😂lol

    I was listening to Malice and I got 32% of the book and I had to dnf it because I just couldn’t focus on it and 26 chapters and I don’t know what I had read. I might need to get the actual book or just get it on audible so that I can take my time with it because my library had a waitlist and I felt rushed in trying to get through it. What do you recommend the paperback or audible of Malice ?

Every time a new song plays , a new world appears. I'd like to know both of your thoughts on it? I'm between writing fantasy, dystopia, mystery, romance and science fiction which genre u guys think that character is in? Can't wait to hear both your thoughts .😊

IT’S IAN AND ASHLYNN TIME!! And you absolutely need to read The Only One Left together! Add that as another idea for that romance TBR prompt I gave you last week. Not only that but it’d be cool to see you “buddy” read together at times. Lmao at the “magic” quip at Dark Matter. If you loved that Storied Life book, try “A Man Called Ove” by Fredrick Bachman. It’s long the same lines. So cute and moving. Also, read “Mistborn.” There’s a reason it’s picked as an intro into adult fantasy. Tons of characters, excellent magic, politics and it’s not overwhelming. The whole trilogy is chef’s kiss. I wanna do a buddy read with you guys too. Talk to Ian and let’s do something in 2024, but after the holidays. Think about it and let me know. Love ya guys, weekly smooches and stuff
