Yes!! I feel like you might really enjoy that one! 💕

You’ve just reminded me to add Seanan McGuire to my 2025 priority list! I’ve had her books on my “want to read” shelves for years and for some reason haven’t picked them up yet! I’m gonna start with Middlegame going by your comment! I’m so guilty of not only buying physical but also the kindle and audio of so many books this year that ended up so mid…. Or even bad! Really need to get better with that in 2025! It’s so hard though because what if I miss the SE for my favourite ever book 😂😂 - no we will be better in 2025! 💕💕

Thank you lovely! 💕💕

Thank you lovely! And honestly my brain does not retain enough detail to space them out as much as I do 😂 so 2025 is definitely the year for binging 💕💕

@Booksandmoe Amen and ditto!! 🤣😅

Right! Like I don’t think it was bad necessarily but compared to her previous books, it just didn’t have that same impact for me 💕

Oh I love that!! So happy to meet you! Yeah our accent is pretty distinct 😂 and there don’t seem to be many of us in this corner of TH-cam 💕💕

Thank you so much lovely! 💕💕💕

What a great haul! I've seen so many people talk about "The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year" and saying it was so good! my TBR is so stacked this month but I really want to read it 😂 I recently read "The Bear and the Nightingale" and I really enjoyed it, the pacing is slow at times but overall I thought it was really good. You've now given me some inspo for books to look up as well, I went book shopping the other day and just didnt see much that was calling to me, I think i've put myself in a book buying slump (which probably isnt a bad thing lol) 💕

@@Booksandmoe Honestly, I mainly picked up MWCotY mainly because it combines Christmas and mystery, two of my favorite things. I'm just hoping I end up at least giving it a 3.5. Send that book buying slump my way, please, because there's WAY too many books (mostly older-ish ones) that I want to buy

right! they are so pretty, the character art is so good! 💕

Do it! Treat yourself! 😂💕

definitely not! As I say these editions wouldn't be read if they were in English anyway so thats how i'm justifying it 😂💕

I love that! honestly I try to do bans but i end up just buying double when I'm out of it anyway. 😂💕

💕💕💕

Thank you lovely! ❄️☃️💕

Yay! I hope you love it! I’ll admit the series has been a slow burn for me loving it but I’m so invested now! I love Dianna (the FMC) 💕

@ I just started Book of Azrael last night, and I already like it! It’s not perfect, but after the book I just DNF’d is a massive improvement when it comes the writing 🫢

I’m glad you’re enjoying it! I did take a while to really get into it but I’m so glad I stuck with it because the series really does open up over the next few books. You’ll have to let me know how you get on 💕💕

That’s such a good rule! I’m so bad for DNfing, I usually end up reading the whole thing 😂 Gideon was so so good! Definitely didn’t think I would love it so much 💕

@@Booksandmoe DNFing is so hard, but if it helps avoid a potential reading slump then I'm 100% going to do it 😅 Totally understand! I feel like I've heard a lot of people express the same thing

Legendary was my favourite book in the trilogy! I loved Donnatellas story, I hope you love it! 💕💕

Yes!!! The second book started super slow but I’m so glad I pushed through because by the end of book 3 I’m so invested, I love it! 💕

Thank you so much lovely! 💕💕💕

Thank you lovely! I’ve had that in my TBR basically since it came out 😂 I really need to pick it up! 💕

Thank you lovely! And yes it’s just a great romantasy read, definitely heavier on the romance but I actually enjoy the background plot alot in these ones 💕

Yes you definitely need to read TAATSK before reading Songbird! I actually never read the novella Six Scorched Roses 🙈 I actually need to go back and read that. Ok I have just downloaded Don’t let the forest in on your recommendation! I’ve seen it everywhere and the cover is stunning, so you have me really intrigued! 💕💕

@@Booksandmoe I hope you enjoy DLTFI! It's definitely fitting a particular combination of things I didn't know I needed, but I couldn't put it down.

I’ve seen so many people saying the exact same thing 😂 but everyone I’ve seen who has read it, loved it! 💕

I love that! I had actually checked it out on Libby like 5 times and it lapsed because I was intimidated 😂 but I’m so glad I finally read it! I hope you enjoy it! 💕

Oh no! Honestly slumps are the worst as a reader because you really want to read but you just cannot get into anything! Hope your back in the groove of things now 💕💕

I’ve been trying so hard to DNF more but I always worry I’ll regret it! I haven’t regretted a DNF yet though 😂 but I’m not being too rigid with my TBRs, if I feel like reading them I will, if not I’ll go back to the shelves! I’ve heard great things about Anxious People, and Fredrick Backman in general so definitely want to pick up his books soon! 💕

It was incredible, literally a book I didn’t want to put down and the audiobook was amazing! I cannot wait to read Harrow now (both Harrow and Nona were immediately purchased lol 💕

💕🫶🏼💕🫶🏼

Ooh ok I’ve heard of this series and definitely had mentally put it in my “not for me” pile but I’ve definitely shut that pile down after Gideon the Ninth- it was incredible! And I cannot wait for Harrow as well! 💕

@@Booksandmoe Check and see if they have Murderbot on KU in your country? I know the US has the first four novellas and the first novel on there, and that's how I read it first. I was cackling (Murderbot is SO relatable to me) and at the same time my heart was melting a bit watching Murderbot's growth through the books. Haven't finished yet because I want to collect the series in hardcopy now, but I love what I've read so far!

Oh I’ll definitely check that out! And I think I may have seen them (or some of them) on Libby as well! I’ve heard great things about the series so hoping I’ll enjoy it as much as I did Gideon! 💕

Thank you! I think I’m gonna need it lol 💕

​@@Booksandmoe ❤ I definitely need to start reading more often again 😊. Especially more fantasy and some more sci Fi

Thank you so much! 💕

@@Booksandmoe You're welcome!

Thank you lovely! I canny wait to dive in and read it, sounds like it’s pretty much everything I love in a book 💕💕

I’m on the hunt for a good Christmas romance so I’ll have to check that one out! I’m really trying to dwindle down my physical TBR as well because I just know there’s books on there that are 5 ⭐️ and I keep putting them off (also probably a lot that are very mid and I could donate to the library 😂) 💕

Thank you so much lovely! I adore Alice in Wonderland so I think I’m going to love this 💕💕

@@Booksandmoe 🤗👍❤️

Hello lovely! 💕💕💕

That’s a good idea to split it up! My problem is my memory is shocking so I’d forget the little details 😂 I think I can get the audio on Libby so might do a bit of immersive reading (if the narrator is good). I tried to make sure any sequels or series continuations were in my 10 before the end, and trying to not start too many new series- I have a physical TBR that is out of control so I really need to be reading from that as much as possible as well! 💕

😂 yeah I read Shakespeare in school and have never picked one up again - I remember liking them but just never been inclined to reread any of them lol And yes, it was a reimagining I believe rather than a retelling but I was just hoping for more….something 😂 I don’t really know what it was it just fell a little flat for me overall but the writing was good so I felt bad giving it less than 4 (also benefit of the doubt since I was slumping) 💕

Right! He’s always trying to get into the shot and I mean with his little face, how can I say no 😂 I’m so excited to start The Way of Kings, seen a few friends start and love it so I’m definitely motivated to pick them up! I physically cannot leave a bookstore without a book 😂😂 it makes me so sad if I can’t find anything lol Think I’m kinda out of my slump now so fingers crossed it stays away! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼💕💕💕

Yeah I totally agree, it’s not as memorable as I felt a study in drowning was, I do want to read more from her though. And Warbreaker was so good! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts! 💕

@Booksandmoe Yes, I enjoyed A Study in Drowning more. 🤗

Do it!! Even if you have to pick one, the infernal devices - I’ll never be over that trilogy 😭💕

Thank you! And yes something about winter makes me want to read all my chunky books 😂💕

Yes! Something so satisfying about reading a really chunky book 😂💕

I’m so glad you’re enjoying it! I did start it and soft dnf’d it because I was feeling slumpy and it wasn’t quite working for me, but I’ve seen so many people saying they love it so definitely going to pick it up again 💕

Ah ok that makes sense because the cover is definitely giving Little Red Riding Hood vibes 😂💕

Aw thank you! Just wanted to make sure you all got a shout out ☺️💕

I’m still holding out for a 5⭐️ in this series! I feel like we’re just getting started in this instalment. Thank you for making me finally pick it up! 💕💕

Thank you lovely! And yes these girls are all so lovely and have great channels so definitely check them out! I will definitely be reading on so I’ll let you know how I get on! 💕💕

I feel like you’ll enjoy this one for sure! Was a pretty solid first instalment 💕💕

@ I need to read my book club picks for the month but as soon as that’s over I’m running to read this 🏃🏻‍♀️‍➡️🏃🏻‍♀️‍➡️

Oh wow I didn’t even think of that as a resource, that’s so cool! And good thing is we all have slightly different taste so they will definitely give you some different books to reference. 💕💕

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed loved some of these as well! They are some of my all time faves 💕
