      Ruthless vows, just for the summer & house in the cerulean sea!!! Sorry I couldn’t pick just one 😅

    My favorite book of the year has been Bookshops & Bonedust because it felt so relaxing to read and it was just so heartwarming. I rarely find books that just feel relaxing and lighthearted and I love the way the author writes stories. It also made me excited for cozy fantasy to possibly become my favorite genre 😊

    • @livslibrary
      @livslibrary  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I love that so much! I still need to read that one, but cozy fantasy is the best & I need to read more too. 🥰

    Love so much seeing Half a Soul! I’ve also been buying some really pretty editions recently. With Spark of the Everflame, I liked it ok but heard the 2nd and 3rd books are amazing. Great half a year 💚

    • @yvettelivres_adores

      And a favorite read of mine Juniper Bean Resorts to Murder

    • @livslibrary
      @livslibrary  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Juniper Bean is so much fun! I immediately bought the second one. 💛
      I’m tempted to just go ahead & buy the rest of the Everflame series, after hearing that. 😅

    I loved Heartless Hunter & Just For the Summer soooo much! 💙 I need to read CC series and Divine Rivals soon. Love all of Ashley Poston books so super excited for A Novel Love Story. I plan on reading for the readathon this week.

    • @livslibrary
      @livslibrary  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Ahhhh so excited you’re joining us this week! It’s going to be the best. 😍

    My favorite fantasy so far this year is One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig. Absolutely loved it! I gave it five stars - gothic, atmospheric, magic, romance, family dynamics, a quest. It was amazing!!! I'm surprised to not see more people talk about it. I can't wait to read the sequel (once it's available at my library).

    • @livslibrary

    The Hobbit is one of my all time favorites!! Some great books here that I’ll definitely be adding to my TBR. I’ve also definitely been wanting to reread hunger games lately…this seems like a perfect time!

    • @livslibrary

    My favorite book of the year so far has been The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton. I still have not watched The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes because I didn't really care for the book, but I love the other Hunger Games books 😅

    • @livslibrary
      @livslibrary  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The movie for Ballad was so much better than the book for me. 🤭 I got bored with the book, so I definitely recommend giving it a go!

    I totally feel you with like Powerless and some other romantasies that have blown up this year but I swear if we have anything in common book wise (which I really think we do lol) you will love Spark of the Everflame (and Glow and the rest of the series!!!) as much as I do!! I am obsessed. Kind of hoping you read it soon so we can gush about it 😂🙈

    • @livslibrary
      @livslibrary  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Ahhh well I’m happy to say, it will be on my July TBR! And I have a pretty chill month coming up, unlike the last couple weeks. 😂 So I’m confident I’ll finally get to it!

    I am halfway through - Just for the Summer - right now. Abby is a new author for me this year and I LOVE everything she has written. I also loved Divine Rivals and Ruthless Vows, the audiobooks were absolutely amazing. I am looking forward to - The Lost Story - by Meg Shaeffer. I loved The Wishing Game because of the Foster Care portrayal. We adopted both of our littles from Foster Care, so I loved that portrayal in the story since it doesn't occur all that often in fiction.
    I am looking forward to - The Games gods Play. The book is absolutely beautiful, so I hope the story is good.

    • @livslibrary
      @livslibrary  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Awww I loved to hear that you have adoption story as well! There’s so many kids out there that need a loving home. 🥲
      I’m definitely going to have to look up Games Gods Play! 👀

  • @rebekahmackenzie
    @rebekahmackenzie 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I was also disappointed with Funny Story. To be fair though I already went into it with low expectations and unfortunately I was proven right. Just For the Summer is one of my favorite books of the year. I haven't been doing well with my goals for the year. I'm hoping to turn that around.

    @giantcupofcoffee 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    This has been such a rough year for new releases! I’ve found some excellent ones but I’ve also gone months where nothing struck me as being special. Maybe things were rushed out during lockdown and this is a market correction? Lots of my fave authors are between books this year. I think it’s fair to not want to invest your time in untested indie books! Self-published and small press books usually haven’t been edited thoroughly. Good editors don’t just catch copy errors; they adjust pacing and tell authors where to add or remove things for plot and pacing reasons. I also secretly think that if an author is good enough, she’ll eventually get picked up by a bigger publisher that will fix the issues. 🤷‍♀️

    I just finished Daughter of No Worlds by Carissa Broadbent, and I’ll agree that indie can be hit or miss, this was an incredible story about strength, overcoming fear and odds, and the sacrifices made to have a better world. Little 🌶️ but amazingly well written overall

    • @livslibrary
      @livslibrary  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Carissa Broadbent is definitely a win in my book! I loved Serpent & also have this one I hope to read at some point. 🙌🏻
