You just earned a new subscriber! So glad I found your content. I’m working on my first novel while working full time so I really appreciate your perspective on everything!!!❤
So happy to have you here!! And congrats on getting started 😁
Omg Lurlene McDaniel 😂 my best friend was obsessed with those books and since she was a picky reader and I would read anything and everything, I read them so we could talk about them. They were SO SAD 😭 We were obsessed with “Don’t Die My Love” for some reason and I reread it as an adult and have no idea why I liked it so much??? So depressing! The ‘90s were a weird time 😂😂
Omg I can’t believe someone else remembers them 😭 so weird! And yes, so sad!! I’m sure my FAV missionary romance had someone dying in a plane crash 🙈 wtf
I think it’s awesome that your book is about something you love, D&D. That’s where I get my inspiration from for my women’s fiction (even though I think you said you don’t enjoy this genre 😂😂😂).
Great video!
I don’t mind women’s fiction actually! And I love that you get inspo from D&D!
Appreciate the reintroduction (I'm new, haha)! ❤ I love your editing style with the memes - It speaks to me 😂 Can't wait for your video on burnout! Hopefully it's another casual sit-down style 🫶🏽
Hahaha I do love a meme! No memes in the burnout video but it is a sit-down chat 😁 happy to have you here!
@@searchingforsamantha that's totally fine by me ♡ can't wait!
This is probably a silly recommendation (because I feel like you've likely already tried it, but just in case), but have you tried Terry Pratchett for fantasy? There are a LOT of Discworld books, but it's broken into subseries and one-offs that you really can read without having read all of the other books in chronological order (or at all). Monstrous Regiment is one of the one offs that I thought was really enjoyable. Guards! Guards! is the first in the City Watch portion of the Discworld series. Pratchett books are fantasy but also very funny with great characters. I also have trouble getting into really intense, epic types of fantasy novels, but I didn't have that problem with Pratchett.
Also, I finished reading Happy Place yesterday, based largely on your recommendation. I really enjoyed it! It was my first Emily Henry, and I feel like I've probably found a new top tier author for me. It's a very exciting feeling! So thanks! lol
Ahhhh I’m so glad you enjoyed your first Emily!! And funny enough I haven’t read any Pratchett. I have a lot of friends who are Pratchett superfans, and it makes me nervous to try because what if I don’t like it 🙈 but thank you for the specific recommendations - I will add Monstrous Regiment to my library holds list now!
@@searchingforsamantha I understand that feeling! I hope you like Pratchett, but I won't hold it against you if you don't! Though to be fair, my husband is more the Pratchett superfan, while I'm more casual/just starting. I'm pretty sure my husband told me that Pratchett was a major D&D player as well and I feel like some of the silliness that sometimes pops up in D&D games is VERY present in his books, which is fun.
Yeah that makes sense! A lot of my D&D friends are huge fans.
I agree with you about Billionaire romance 🙄. It's a definite no from me too
So icky!!
