  • A month or so ago, my boyfriend, Curtis picked up A Court of Thorns & Roses which is one of my favourite books. You requested we make this video so I managed to convince him it was a good idea ;)

    As someone who liked acotar just fine but wont be continuing (I just dont like segsy times in books), this was pretty refreshing to watch. It feels refreshing to see someone outside of the booktube community talk about a book.

    Aaawwww he read it so he can say he read Becca's favourite books 🥺❤️ This was such a fun video! I do hope Curtis reads the sequels because I really enjoyed the discussion and the fresh view of someone outside of the bookish community. As someone who has read just ACOTAR from this series - I think the same way about the characters. I liked Tamlin until one point and I found Rhys toxic. Just because I know he is so loved I know that probably won't be the case 😁 You two are very cute ❤️

    Curtis doing/miming your outro is GOLDEN - TOP TIER - 10/10 would recommend! His recommendations are also spot on haha! Can't wait to hear his thoughts on ACOMAF, since it's my favourite book in the ACOTAR series!
    A question for Curtis after he has read ACOMAF: Has your view on Tamlin shifted completely? Do you think his actions in the beginning of ACOMAF are justified?

    I loved this! 🤗🤗🤗 I do agree that ACOTAR & SJM could be a bit underground to people outside of BookTube in comparison to some other series because I had never heard about them until I started to follow BookTube. But underground is not a bad thing & I also was not reading Fantasy until I came to BookTube. Now when I see book adds for SJM books, I know the deal! :) I can’t wait to see more videos from you guys...AND I just realized that this means I have to read ACOMAF if I want to keep up. 🙊😂😂 I was planning to start reading it soon anyway. :) I will totally take a 20% discount! Thank you, Curtis! 😂😂😂 Well, Happy Sunday evening, guys! ☺️✨✨ I love you! 🥰🥰🥰 Happy Reading! 🤓📚✨

    I absolutely love hearing from someone who hasn't read the rest of the books because I can't help but be swayed one way (Rhys's way, ofc) since I know what happens. But also, I appreciate hia takes on the relationships and events that... yes, kinda feel like an attack, but... are totally valid. 😂

    A Court of Silver Flames is placed in the YA section at my local bookstore. I told one of the employees it shouldn’t be placed there, they removed it, but put it back a few weeks later. That is definitely NOT Young Adult! Love the book, but it shouldn’t be placed there.

    I love that he says team Feyre, I agree 100%. I think I am getting to the point where I no longer hate Tamlin, he did help her escape from Hybern's camp (acowar). In acomaf I just felt so betrayed by him because of the way he was treating Feyre and then he just made it worse with how he got her back and how he acted after. However, I am now open to him finding someone and redeeming himself.
