Zuza is my spirit animal and i adore Laini Taylor

[@WhatCassRead]

Laini Taylor is completely S-Tier!!

[@esmayrosalyne]

I absolutely love that you have had such a strong start to your year!! 😍
Now, I still haven't picked up Long Shot myself, but my mom heard you gush about it when I was watching one of your wrap-ups so she immediately read it and now it's her favourite book of the year so far hahaha. I need to get to it as well!!
Also, I am so here for the Winternight love!!
Great video & I really like the new set-up! Hope the rest of your year is just as good, if not better 🥰

[@tifftalkspages]

I like that your tracking borrowed books. I think the majority of the books I read are borrowed but I like the idea of tracking where they are coming from ❤.

[@WhatCassRead]

Lol I keep adding things to my tracking spreadsheet and I’ve loved seeing the borrowed books category grow!!

[@crystalsbookishlife]

Ugh YES Winter of the Witch 🤩 so good!

[@WhatCassRead]

I love that conclusion with my whole heart and soul!! ❤❤❤

[@bethmccraw6718]

Lighting and set up looks and sounds great!!!

[@WhatCassRead]

Thank you Beth!! ❤

[@MariaMightReadThat]

The new lighting set-up looks great! 💡💡 I'd be really interested if you ever wanted to show it in a video haha. I find lighting so hard to get right. Also a big fan of quarterly stats/faves so I hope you keep making these! I'm still reading primarily female authors but the divide has gotten a little smaller with every year. And this is the first year I'm not reading 80+% fantasy. Been stepping outside my comfort zone a bit and trying scifi, dark romance, and even horror. I definitely agree that it makes it easier to get through more books by switching up genres more.

[@WhatCassRead]

Lol, I could also send you photos. There's nothing too fancy, and I got a few "daylight" lightbulbs off Amazon to supplement the background lighting.

[@MariaMightReadThat]

@@WhatCassRead Ooh yes please to the photos. Nothing too fancy is even better.

[@safinan8008]

Have you read the rest of the “Daughter of Smoke and Bone”series? I’m curious which book in the trilogy was your favorite ✨💡✨
