Y’all have the best messy book recs & I am so here for it! 😂💛

Great to see another video from you guys! Looking forward to hearing what you thought of the books you read this month.

Love your hair Asia!!! Glad to see both of you all back

I'm soooo happy to see yall!!!

YESSSSS! Love to see y'all back 💛

Great to see you both back. Have miss you guys. I haven't read any of the books you mentioned in your July TBR. However, I have read Kill for Me Kill for You and I loved it. Have a great reading month!

Missing seeing a video from you guys. How are you both?

Loved hearing your answers to the Library Lovers Tag.

I am wanting to start over and read The Court of Thorns and Roses series. I have only read the first two books. I want to reread them and continue with the series. I am not a big fantasy reader but I enjoyed the first two books in that series. I have read Yellow Wife and loved it. I thought I was the only one who had not read the Harry Potter books. I have the illustrated editions.

Hey Ladies 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾... l loved Black Cake and enjoyed the tv adaptation. It was a quick read for me.

Recently read Love Radio by Ebony LaDelle because I saw it mentioned in one of your videos and really enjoyed it

Thanks for reminding me about the Yellow Wife! I have it in my Kindle 💛

Great recommendations. 😊

Will you be offering Asian book recommendations in May? Or Hispanic books in September?

Just say it..😂

I loved Yellow Wife! I am one of the few that has never read the Harry Potter series. I am collecting the illustrated editions to read. I am hoping to reread a Court of Thorns and Roses and A Court of Mist and Fury whenever they come in on Libby. Then finish the series. I finished reading Fourth Wing this month. It was one of my anticipated reads this month and I thought it did live up to its hype. I am mood reading this month. Hope you both have a great reading month!

I read a Colleen Hoover book for the same reason. When it feels like everyone else is reading and talking about a book or author, I want to know what all the hype is about.

I’m also looking forward to Kennedy Ryan’s and Tia Williams’ books! Also The Partner Plot by Kristina Forest!

Some of my anticipated reads are The Haters by Robyn Harding, The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley, Funny Story by Emily Henry, How to Make a Horror Movie and Survive by Craig DiLouie, Darling Girls by Sally Hepworth, Middle of the Night by Riley Sager, and The Stranger in Her House by John Marrs.

BEST- Pachinko, Homegoing, The Color Purple, The Nightingale, When Breath Becomes Air, Persepolis 1 & 2, A Man Called Ove, Know My Name, Yellow Wife WORST- One Hundred Years of Solitude, The Monsters We Defy, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder

I read 250 books last year so it is difficult to narrow it down. However, a few of my favorites were The Housemaid, The Housemaid's Secret, Spidersight, and a reread of The Last Mrs. Parrish. A couple of the worst were A Council of Dolls and The Bandit Queens.

My favorite books were Blacktop Wasteland by SA Cosby and The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty

I also read Book Lovers and Happy Place last year. I liked Book Lovers more but both were good.

I have hopes 2024 will bring some goodies

The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store was the Barnes & Noble 2023 book of the year. I saw that a Black Man held that honor this year and immediately bought the book. I have no clue what it’s about nor do I care. It will get read eventually 😂🤣

Happy New Year to you both! I loved The Housemaid and The Housemaid's Secret. The Housemaid is Watching comes out in June. I recently read The Mystery Guest and really enjoyed it.

Great video! I loved hearing your answers to these questions! Do you both set reading goals for the New Year? I am trying to decide what mine are this coming year and add them to my new reading planner. Merry Christmas to both of you!

I've heard good things about Divine Rivals and recently got it on a Kindle deal so looking forward to reading it soon! I read The Night Circus years ago when it was so popular on BookTube when I started, would love to reread it as it's so magical and gorgeous. I say it's a great book to read at Christmas time.

Loved your wrap-up! I have passed my GoodReads goal but I am trying to get to a certain number now. Listening to a few Audible Originals now. I have listened to the The First Shot which is a prequel to The Last Mrs. Parrish (one of my fave books) and Trapped so far. Both are fairly short audiobooks. Are you two planning on doing the end of the year tag?

I think this will be my next read 📕

This story was good- just too long and too many pointless details. Thanks for being honest in your review!

Lol, I will be honest...I have never heard of Alex Michaelides? So hopefully that makes you feel better about him being overhyped, hahaha. The trailer for The Other Black Girl looks super creepy, didn't realize it was based on a book. I should have though...since everything on screen these days is either a sequel or based on a book. I have Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow on hold on my Libby app so hopefully it comes eventually, I am like...1200th in line, LOL. Hope you guys are having a good December so far!

Agreed, Feyi was very selfish and indecisive. There’s one specific scene where she’s being so childish, wanting to be told to leave but you can tell she’d be so insulted if she was told to leave. Also, agree that the bisexuality felt like an afterthought. there was no real purpose to say she’d had a romantic relationship with Joy. Alim’s bisexuality and femininity could’ve been displayed more beyond just describing him wearing makeup.

The plot twist in White Smoke was so good! The audiobook has so much suspense and it kinda scared me, so I had to stop listening to it at night lol. I have also been reading a lot of Fantasy this year. I did not see the plot twist in Legendborn by Tracy Deonn coming.

Great video! 🙂

I read The Housemaid and the second one The Housemaid's Secret and loved both of them. The third one called The Housemaid is Watching comes out next year on June 11. I'm glad to hear you liked Fourth Wing. I just got the audio book on Libby and bought the Kindle book so I could follow along. I am not a big fantasy reader, but I am hoping I love it. Some books I plan to read this month are Their Visious Games by Joelle Wellington, Zerio Days by Ruth Ware, a reread of The Last Mrs. Parrish (one of my favorite books), and Black Sheep by Rachel Harrison.

Burkina Faso which means "Land of The Incorruptible People.".....Which is Interesting because it lead to Thomas Sankara's Assassination. 😮

Another video! Yay! Some of my 5 star reads this year so far are My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult, None of This is True by Lisa Jewell, The Marriage Lie by Kimberly Belle, The Drowning Woman by Robyn Harding, How I'll Kill You by Ren DeStefano, The Odds by Jeff Strand, The Locked Door by Freida McFadden, and The Whishers by Ashley Audrain just to name a few.

A couple of my five star books off the top of my head are The Adventures of Amina Al Sirafi, Chaingang All Stars, Lone Women, and To Shape A Dragons Breath. If you liked Fourth Wing pleeease read To Shape A Dragons Breath , this is the first dragon book I’ve read w a nonwhite protagonist!! I loved it.

I ❤ Toni Morrison's books and reread them every few years. Don’t let them intimidate you. They are just stories. 😊 I recommend Sula.

I have the same issue with emotionally/socially challenging books even though I really want to read them. I had to DNF Lakewood because I was/am going through medical problems and thought I could handle it but it was too much. I'm a horror fan but I'm also very picky about what I can read and when lol. Despite that, I'd like to read To Be Devoured by Sara Tantlinger but I've heard it's very intense and I don't know if my brain can handle it.

A couple of books I want to read, but have been scared to start because they are so big is It and The Priory of the Orange Tree (even though fantasy is not my favorite genre).

I love Toni Morrison...but i do know what you mean...The Bluest Eye was a difficult read. My favorite TM is Beloved. I finished the book and wanted to talk to someone about it and re-read it immediately.

Hi! So nice to see another video from you ladies. I haven't read The House of Eve yet, but I did read Yellow Wife and it was so good!. I love The Housemaid and the sequel. I haven't read a Freida McFadden book yet that I didn't like. I want to read some spooky books this month, but I plan to listen to some audiobooks that have come in from Libby first. Some of these are The Change by Kirsten Miler, The Trade Off by Sandie Jones, and Delicate Condition by Danielle Valentine.

The Yellow Wife is a great read. I listened to the audiobook and it takes it to another level when listening to it. I would highly recommend. But it's a tough read. Not lighthearted at all.

Hey ladies. I read Out There Screaming and Tender in the Flesh. TiTF was not crazy killing horror. No nightmares

It was great seeing another video from you today! I enjoyed listening to your opinion about whether you thought a book was worth the hype or not. One that I don't agree about though was The Silent Patient. I loved that book and after I read t it I just said wow.

Loves this video. A perfect find… I got to 60% and couldn’t do it no more

Great to see a video from you two! Looking forward to your next one. A few books that I have read recently and enjoyed are The Coworker by Freida McFadden, The Drowning Woman by Robyn Hardinng, The Marriage Lie by Kimberly Belle, Everyone Here is Lying by Shari Lapena, The Odds by Jeff Strand, and Hello Stranger by Katherine Center.

Leading a team can take away time, but I am happy that you find the time to read. I can relate.
