    The Henry Cavill one had me howling lmao I like the man but I’m not fan casting him as every male lead, but I see it all the time on fan castings 😂😂😂 & yes you should do more of these videos!!

      @ Also people are still casting Ian Somerhalder as Rhysand. Maybe a young version of him but he is aging out of the character description lol. And I adore Ian, but yes, we need young blood for sure haha

    With me the TBR goals help me kinda figure out what I want but I have to tell myself not do worry about it if I don't meet it.

    I had a review bought 😅 but to be fair I already loved it and the author offered for a very specific review style. Give me my bag 😅😅

    • @happily_ever_april

      yes and of course my opinion is in general. I know you are very honest with reviews. Just in general I don't trust paid reviews. as a consumer.

    I find that my FB is more add friendly over IG but it could be because I use it more.. The Henry Cavill comment had me rolling 😂. “Those holes need to be filled” 😂😂😂😂😂 Also I feel like I try to beat the algorithm in all of my multimedia lol. Listen if an author wants me to beta read for free… I totally agree about the paid reviews on everything. Awesome video 😊

      😆😆😆😆 right? when I can actually see something I immediately gravitate towards it.

    I think people going into books with no research is fine... but I suspect that thread came off the back of people trashing books they'd read for having spicy scenes or various other content. Which they would have known if they'd looked at anything about the book. That's where the problem is.

    • @happily_ever_april
      @happily_ever_april  หลายเดือนก่อน

      is it really a problem though? to me it's just more reason not to put any stock in people's reviews.

  • @BecxReadz

    Basically people's complaints about "xyz" being too overdone is a personal problem. Put in some effort to find books that fit what you want to read instead of reading what is popular and what everyone else is reading.

    I want to say that covers don't matter and whats on the inside of the book matters BUT if it looks like it was designed in MS Paint then I can't. I'd rather it just be a plain ass color and text than really bad art

  • @hannahblackwellbooks
    @hannahblackwellbooks หลายเดือนก่อน

    Yeah there’s not more spice, the algorithm might be promoting the word spice n maybe spicy books 😂 also I hate how ppl are just attacking ppl on romance book threads … like on both sides. Like, Chill.

    • @happily_ever_april
      @happily_ever_april  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      there's definitely passionate people on both sides. luckily there's enough books out there for us all!

  • @hannahblackwellbooks
    @hannahblackwellbooks หลายเดือนก่อน

    I think when you beta read you do NOT review it. You are reading it to give the author direct feedback.

    • @hannahblackwellbooks
      @hannahblackwellbooks หลายเดือนก่อน

      N when I charge sponsorships to an author I make it clear I won’t read or review it 😂

    • @happily_ever_april
      @happily_ever_april  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      yeah and using your skills as a critical reader. not just passively reading. I do see it as more of a "job" that one could be paid for.
