Sooo happy you joined TH-cam! I’ve always preferred long form content and honestly I could listen to you talk about your fave book boyfriends for hours lol❤
There have been so many times that I come to your videos to get your input on a book before I decide whether to try it or not. You have not led me astray yet! So glad to be able to watch the longer format videos! I could literally talk about books all day every day, and I usually get the weird looks and eye rolls from the ones that just don’t get it, but being able to listen to you talk “all things book” makes my book heart happy!
Hot damn, I'm so happy you're on TH-cam! You are my go-to person for book recommendations. My favorite read of 2024 was The Bone Season, both the book itself and then the next three in the series. SO GOOD! I also loved Quicksilver and Anathema, both recommendations from you! Least favorite read was Iron Flame. So much potential (the dragons!) but - like you said - it feels like they're in high school.
Favorite book of the Year When the moon hatched. This book is everything to me. Hated Five broken blades, it was such a mess. So good to see you on TH-cam.
Hi Jaimee, thank you for always speaking Ur mind when it comes to Ur books; my TBR list has grown considerably the past few months and I blame you... in a good way. You have become my go-to person for recs
Happy to see you on TH-cam ! I love long form content the longer your videos become the better . It’s very nice that you are going straight to the point and no spoilers (because I am just starting to read all those books ). I think you are doing great ! Good luck ❤
I'm glad you are on TH-cam now. I love your personality and your videos 😊. Your recommendations have been hit or miss for me 😅(which is totally fine!). I read an average of 200-250 books per year so it's hard to pick just one so these picks are just from your recommendations: Best: Metal Slinger (and The Kindred's Curse Saga). Worst: Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac I DNF at 80% on Book 4, bored to tears I couldn't care less about any of the characters, 😞which was very disappointing because, on paper, it has EVERYTHING I love. I guess the "villain" as soon as it was introduced. I've been reading RH since 2019 so I knew the series and the authors but your videos and your love for the Twister Sister made me wanna read it🙃. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. I read the first 5 books of Zodiac Academy back in 2020, they were okay but by the time book 6 was released, I was over the series. I found the Twister Sister writing too repetitive with a lot of filler, so after 2 series, I don't think I'd be reading anything from them again.
2024 was my year of getting back into reading for fun as an adult. I was initially taking a lot of recommendations off of booktok…. which led me to read Credence without knowing much besides it being a popular romance book. I wish I could erase that entire experience from my brain. So many brain cells were lost 😭 so that’s easily my worst of the year lol. I really enjoyed Quicksilver, Phantasma, and House of Earth and Blood as some of my top reads. Anathema is now on my TBR list!
You just saved me money on buying The Coven because it was going into my cart next shopping trip 😂. Thank you, it looked so promising but sounds like it fell flat. I like witchy reads so I totally would have bought that.
I DNF Powerless so I agree with that one. I agree with the things you say about Skyshade but I love Grim so much that I saw past the hot mess 😂. I am starting my Zodiac Academy journey and I devoured the first 3 books 😊
My favorites this year are if we were villains and Nocticadia! Also loving the zodiac academy series, you convinced me to start reading it😌 and my least favorite was one last shot.
I got back into reading after a very long break with Acotar and ended up finishing 12 books in 2024. Which is a lot when i also crochet and game. All my hobbies are tome consuming. My favorite was probably acomaf with acowar a close second, I DNF Such Sharp Teeth, but i cant remember the author's name. I know she also wrote Cackle which i liked a lot. And my least favorite that i finsihed was The Haunting by Natasha Preston. I read that book in one sitting and was hooked and the ending ruined the whole thing for me. Like i still get mad when i think about it because it was so food until it wasnt suddenly.
Just finished Metal Slinger… I was literally yelling at the pages!!! Those last 15 pages left me messed …. I don’t know if I love you or hate you for that book recommendation… impatiently waiting to learn when book 2 will be released.
Rain of shadows and endings was so good! Loving the series so far, just finished 3rd tempest of wrath and vengeance. Also started Lady darkness series- world adjacent and so good too almost wish I started there to understand magic system/gods talked about
My favorites of the year were definitely Anathema and One Dark Window/Two Twisted Crowns. Least favorite would be Reckless - I did a tandem read with Powerless and Powerful and enjoyed reading those together.
Best: Zodiac Academy series and Reedemig 6 Worst: El imperio final de Brandon Sanderson I love your videos on Instagram and I love that you have a channel here on TH-cam to hear more talk. Your recommendations never fail and thanks to you I discovered one of my favorite series in history:ZA
Hated if he had been with me. So many people were crying over it and saying how good it was and I was so bored. They did nothing. There was no banter. Didn’t feel anything between the characters and then It gave a horrible rushed ending. I loved Acomaf or Acosf I literally can’t choose lol
I actually really like Agatha Christie - best murder mysteries - atleast I have never been able to guess who did the murder! I love the Hercule Poirot mysteries!
@thtgrlreads so I have read maybe 5 books from her - and I usually just like the ones where Hercule Poirot is the detective! Maybe you could try one book - her top rated one is The Murder of Roger Ackroyd! I really like it! Knowing how manyyy books you have read, you might be able to guess the plot but it's worth a shot! It's a short read! I really like the writing - it's a quick, murder mystery book! ✨
One dark window and the acotar series. Loved them. My least favorite this year would be the poppy wars series. I enjoyed the first book, but it went down hill in book 2 for me and book 3 was, oke. I liked the story though, i just had a big issue with Rin...😅🙈
I don’t understand why people hate world building so much! I love it. Like please - set the scene and let me get immersed! If I can’t escape into the world I am reading about, I do not careeeee lol
I have startes reading again in December after years of not reading for years. My favorites were Metal Slinger and Anathema and my least favorite is the Cerulean sister (not finished yet but I skip pages just to finally be done with it)
worst: Court of the vampire queen. Can’t believe i even finished it tbh 😂 Fav: Deliciously dark fairytales series by KF Breene. 👌🏻 excellent banter, great spice, shifters of all types, great plot, feisty FMC
Least favorite is probably Court of Tricksters. I read the first two of the series, and it was a good time while I read them but I wasn’t wowed! Favorite hands down has to be the Kindreds Curse Saga, I can’t wait Burn of the Everflame!
my least fav was normal people basically hate read because i bought physical book years ago and trying to reduce tbr shelf of shame. fav was probably mother of no dawn or entire war of last hearts series lol
@thtgrlreads I just couldn't get into it and it felt like the beginning was drawn out and then they went straight from enemies to lovers in one page. Just not my cup of tea
My most favs differ as per genre. But absolute favs are mindf*ck series and empire of storms (all of tog but this specifically) And i agree with the powerless review. It had me pissed. But read powerful! Absolutely loved that book! And feel that should have been the main story. It was original and gut wrenching
Binding 13 is absolutely WONDERFUL. While I do believe Johnny is 100% her hero…. HIS PARENTS. ESPECIALLY HIS MOM OH MY GOSH. We don’t talk about her enough
least favorite, also Powerless - I'll throw Weyward and Black Sun in there too best reads, I read Bewitched and Bespelled at your recommendation and I LOVED them! also enjoyed Scythe 📚
Favorite: Nocticadia 🖤 thanks to your recommendation Worst: between Bewitched 🥲 which I outright disliked OR Iron Flame which got worse the longer I thought about it 🙂↔️ (Jamie, after Onyx Storm comes out, can you do a long form video breakdown of your thoughts on the whole series?)
Sooo happy you joined TH-cam! I’ve always preferred long form content and honestly I could listen to you talk about your fave book boyfriends for hours lol❤

Ahhh rb was my first ever RH!
Finally I get to listen to you yap for 30 min!
Metal slinger was so good! I’m not one to freak out at my books but this one had me yelling!
It was unhinged

thanks so much for all you do! i love your content and the community you have created.
I’m so glad you’re here!!!!
Would love to hear a deep dive on the 100 books vs the TV show. Really loved the television version and never really thought about reading the books.
Oooh I’ll work on that
❤❤❤
My favorites this year are if we were villains and Nocticadia! Also loving the zodiac academy series, you convinced me to start reading it😌 and my least favorite was one last shot.
How far into ZA are you?
@ I finished book 5, about to start book 6 soon
I got back into reading after a very long break with Acotar and ended up finishing 12 books in 2024. Which is a lot when i also crochet and game. All my hobbies are tome consuming.

Very accurate about Inked in blood 😅
Metal Slinger has me freaking out and I finished it over a week ago
It’s wild!!!
Just finished Metal Slinger… I was literally yelling at the pages!!!
Those last 15 pages left me messed …. I don’t know if I love you or hate you for that book recommendation… impatiently waiting to learn when book 2 will be released.
Hahaha it was quite an experience
Rain of shadows and endings was so good! Loving the series so far, just finished 3rd tempest of wrath and vengeance. Also started Lady darkness series- world adjacent and so good too almost wish I started there to understand magic system/gods talked about
Best of 2024 was definitely Archer’s Voice and worse was Savage Vow by Zoe Blake and Weyward, which stinks because I love light witchy stories!
Binding 13 series changed my brain chemistry. I can’t even describe how this book made me feel lol Amazing 6 Star read
I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!
My favorites of the year were definitely Anathema and One Dark Window/Two Twisted Crowns. Least favorite would be Reckless - I did a tandem read with Powerless and Powerful and enjoyed reading those together.
What’s your thoughts on the MistBorn series so far?
I’m liking it! Hoping to finish book 3 soon!
