GOOD taste 😎

if my lap is available, tishka is there to sit on it! p.s. saw your request! now we’re friends 😉

save me!! lol.. is it the most wonderful crime of the year!!??!!

😂 I guess you won’t be reading this book then!!! unless you also like laughing at silly lines haha

ROFL! I just finished a good one that thankfully was nothing like this!

@@SpilltheReads Yeah 🤣🤣 It's not for me. But it's good to know

@@BookReviewsWithBecky Phew!!! What book was it?

life is too short to read something you find boring! I don’t really know why I continued when I didn’t love it. probably just because I wanted to see how similar it was to the Xmas tree farm haha

@SpilltheReads Sometimes we "hate read" or hope it gets better. But yeah I try to make it a point to DNF, when I'm no longer enjoying

I’m so thankful to have amazing Libby library cards with a good selection.. do you have Libby or an equivalent in Denmark that lets you borrow ebooks?

@SpilltheReads We do have Libby. But I suspect that not all is available in Denmark. But there is also apps and library websites that's just danish. I also often find translated works instead

Do you have any unique Xmas recs? Also yes, my dog has only two speeds: 0 or 100 😂

oh no!! I wonder if I can guess why you didn’t like it.. was it the unexplained aspect? or being so flipping unnerving? I still get chills when I think about what happened to Eve

hi! omg thanks for your comment :) my jaw is on the floor hearing how many books you read this year! do you do audiobooks too? I’m going to have to watch your video and see what else you liked!

no it's giving me such a rush to see so many nice comments! One of the reasons I made a booktube was to connect with other likeminded readers since reading is an isolating activity haha :) thanks for your sub!

@SpilltheReads Yay! I'm happy you don't find it creepy 🤣🫶

@@SpilltheReads Me too! I love connecting with other bookworms! 🥰

I wonder if it would hit me hard emotionally the second time like it did the first

@@SpilltheReads Yeah it really hit the first time and I couldn't read literally anything else. But in retrospect I'm not as obsessed with it

are you a big thriller person? I just finished filming quick thoughts on all the good thrillers/mystery books I read this year (around 50) and I'm going to share my favs. will probably post it next week :)

@SpilltheReads I'm not big on thrillers. But I'm dipping my toes. I've just had a big interest in them lately

So good!

@@BookReviewsWithBecky That's great 👌

coming back to this comment now that you mentioned you’re from Denmark to see if you know an author called Jenny lund madsen? I read an amazing crime mystery thriller by her called Thirty Days of Darkness and now I want to read more of her books

for me it's PERFECT but you could always read a preview before committing to buying. Are you on Libby? I read all my books there!

@SpilltheReads I do usually try previews if I have doubts. I gotta see if my library has it, there's previews aswell. I do have Libby, but I think there's not alot available for me, because my country just never have it 🤣

oh sorry I saw this comment after I already asked you again about Libby somewhere else! TH-cam makes it so hard to find “new replies to comments” haha

@@SpilltheReads That's alright haha 👌

at least you have the beautiful cover to look at lol! gotta hand it to the cover artist of this series

@SpilltheReads Yes the covers are gorgeous! 😍

❤️ the chemistry was there for sure

@SpilltheReads So true!👌

which of the 3 do you think does it best?

@SpilltheReads I didn't care for the first books spice, as I wasn't invested in them as a couple, like you said in a video. I felt like the 2nd one was too spicy for my liking, but I also felt like Hazel needed it, so it made sense. I really liked the spice in the 3rd book, because I felt the attraction. But in retrospect maybe it was,because it gave hallmark vibes, and you get those spicy scenes, you never get in the movies. But overall I'm not a big spicy scene fan, I usually speed read them, so I can move on faster 🤣

I wanted to write reviews for books I read this year but the problem is… I forget everything as soon as I finish a book! can’t remember character names or small details at all. only the gist and if I liked it

@SpilltheReads I think writing reviews isn't for everyone. I am on Threads (on the bookish side), and I do write a few lines of what I think of a book. And I will try to give my opinion and a rating if someone specifically asks me, but I'm just not cut out for reviews. It feels like school work to me 🤣 Also forgetting everything is very relatable 🤣 I have the worst memory. Its why I sometimes start writing some thoughts down, while I'm still reading. Like I'll pull up my notes app and write

I also find it way easier and more enjoyable to listen to holiday romance books. you're probably onto something with us thinking of them as hallmark movies

@SpilltheReads Yes 👌 I loved listening to it

it made me want to rewatch this old hallmark movie called Fir Crazy 🤪

@SpilltheReads Hahah, yes it just gets you in that christmas spirit!

anything in particular confusing? I guess I can picture maybe all the different themes in once book throwing the reader around a bit, like family drama, personal growth, the love triangle and being kind of long.. but I was really into the writing style and characters

@SpilltheReads I liked the writing, but I think the romance lost me a bit 🤔

I'm literally listening to the last hour of lovelight farms and I want to compare them because I think they're so similar! have you read that one?

@@SpilltheReads I want to read it. My library doesn't have it, but I really wish it did. I definitely want to listen to the audiobook, but I can't find it anywhere 🤔

oh wow I crochet too but I’m a beginner so I don’t think I’d be able to do it as well on the bike! is yours one of those with a table attachment?

@SpilltheReads no unfortunately it doesn't have any work space, but im going to attach something to make it work

It still makes me crazy thinking about it like 10 months later! But mentally I've kind of decided what I think I know what happened more or less.

I'm so glad you liked it too! I'm always on a mission to find the Christmas books that are actually good! What else are you reading right now?

@SpilltheReads I just started another Christams themed book, it is a funny/horror book called You Better Watch Out, by Matt Forgit. This is my first year reading with the season. I had stepped away from reading for a few years (i had a real attention needer that made reading impossible) and got back into it in September. Has been the best mental health decision I have ever made, btw. 😀

no way, that just became available on my Libby! Please let me know how it is because I'm trying to decide what final Xmas book spend time on :) I've been listening to LoveLight Farms today but it's hard to focus on a plain love ole story hehe

also congrats on getting back into reading! I started this channel earlier this year so I'm also getting back into it after not being a huge reader in previous years. All it took for me was getting kicked off Netflix and discovering Libby!

@SpilltheReads I recommend it so far, of course it is completely different than TMWTOTY. I have not made much progress because I have been busy, but the chapters are short, making it easy to slip a chpt here and there.

omg hi!! this made me smile :) thanks so much! What are you reading right now?

Christmas books - lovelight farms atm lol, but then Big Swiss!

Get out, I started lovelight farms today on audiobook! I can't decide if I like it or not

what kind of stories do you like? fiction? romance? thrillers?

@SpilltheReads thriller,mystery,fiction,feel good books 📚 😊

hi!! thanks for your comment :) Have you read any other Jen Beagin books? I tried Pretend I'm Dead but it was too depressing for me to finish

@@SpilltheReads I have not read any of her other books. Oof! Depressing is a mood I try to avoid in books. 🙃

forgot to say its a lot like that movie the shape of water if you know it

@@SpilltheReads oh yeah the fishman monster dating the woman I actually like that movie

haven’t seen it in ages but I remember it made me cry a ton haha

hi! I hope you get to read it too :) Have you checked if your local library has it?

@SpilltheReads Actually I live in a small village in India, here in the local library most of the books are available in Bengali and Hindi languages. This type of books aren't available here😞

@@mithu_naskar oh I'm sorry! I hope you will find a way to read it some time :) Thanks for your nice comments :)

I don't normally like romance either, so I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed this! It was more cozy mystery!

it depends how much you like cheesy romance stories.. it was too much for me to take seriously. I have a full review of it if you want to hear more! ♥️

i feel the same. why do you think this series is getting so much attention when it’s just okay? cute cover art?

omg 😆 have you read any of her other books?

@SpilltheReads no, I have her newest on Libby, but saw the blurb about this one on that book so I thought I'd read this first 🤢 bad idea, now I think I'll just return the new one. I see why there was no wait for this one now usually when this is the case and I stumble across a sequel/the authors second book unknowingly and find the first, there's a super long wait
