hey friends! wow I read nearly 5,000 pages in January! (a bit over if I were to count the 20 pgs of Out and the 60ish pages of my 2 DNFs). Had a fun reading month and hope you did too! Have you read any of these as well or added any to your TBR? 😊 thanks for watching! 💛
in case you missed my December wrap-up: th-cam.com/video/cXE6GY-bTJc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=s5wpyrT1DTN6myV2
Also my last video is cold/snowy/wintery recs! ❄ th-cam.com/video/-cTKJ79VEbc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JUv8S42c1axpU0xW
Upcoming videos. . I'm filming a reading vlog for Jante's Inferno Readathon, then I'll also have my faves & disappointing reads of last year, the series I want to read this year, and part two of my book haul!

First of all, I love your jacket!
I'm so glad you enjoyed natural beauty. That one was such a surprise for me.
Okay you've sold me on the wayward trilogy. Adding to my tbr now

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

thanks! ☺ omg Natural Beauty had some creepy parts.. so original! glad I read it. yay! Wayward 🌲 is so fun, hope you love it!

[@literatelyalees]

I’ve heard SO many good things about Project Hail Mary. I’ve had it on my shelf for awhile, I need to just read it already!

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

ooh! it is so fun. hope you love it! the audiobook is excellent and I'm picky with those. I can definitely see myself re-listening as a comfort read.

[@mikalareads]

I reallllllllly want to read Project Hail Mary this year!!! 🙏 also Foundryside sounds fantastic!!!! 👌❤😍 i need to finally read Nestlings ahhh!!!!

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

Project Hail Mary was so fun! I loved space adventure.. and I even almost teared up a bit at one point.. thought I was gonna get my heart ripped out lol 😅 hope you enjoy 'em all once you get to 'em!

[@maeve_ever_manga]

You talked about so many books that I want to read! It's so nice to hear your thoughts!!

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

awesome! hope you enjoy them! 😄

I did not care for Ink Blood Sister Scribe. I DNFed it.

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

I probably should have DNFd it but I already spent an audible credit. I think I remember seeing something about possible returns so maybe we can "return" them and get a credit back if it's under a certain percentage read.. about how far did you get before DNF'ing?

[@maeve_ever_manga]

@@the_eerie_faerie_tales Not far. When the second sister is introduced with her girlfriend/wife(I honestly don’t know which) it came across very fetishizing. Like, “oh! We have a lesbian couple…😏 let’s have them ‘comfort’ eachother with sex.” And that kind of thing really gives me the ick. I want more lgbtqia+ rep in books without all the smut and “spice”… otherwise it makes me feel like they’re only included for the shock factor, or for the fetish/kink factor.

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

@@maeve_ever_manga omg I so agree with you!! good observation. have you read The Honeys by Ryan La Sala? that's one of my faves and has a queer main character.. no kinky ish just regular people in a trippy horror setting!

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

@@maeve_ever_manga oh! and there is a mild but sweet sapphic relationship/romance subplot in The Founders trilogy!

[@maeve_ever_manga]

@@the_eerie_faerie_tales I have not read The Honeys but, I’ll definitely add it to my list!
