That is AMAZING that queen Stacy Reid reached out to you! It's been so much fun to watch your channel and influence grow, and you deserve allllll the author interviews because your excitement for books always makes me want to pick them up haha.
Yay!!!!! Oh I'm so happy to hear it, Merry!! I hope you have a fun and spooky reading month!! (I wasn't wearing my glasses when I read your comment and thought your emoji was a turkey at first 🤣.). 👻
So happy you are feeling better! That intro was everything!!! 😂I can relate!! I want to read the Jacquie D’Alessandro novel this month too! It’s on my October TBR.
Glad you’re starting to feel better!! Really looking forward to the longer form book hauls and the rest of the studio set up. You did motivate me to get some of my stuff rearranged… thank goodness the Chiro is scheduled for tomorrow, lol! 👻🎃👻🦇
Oh your intro hit me where I live.😊LOL (I have similar hiding places. There are people out there that don't understand why you need or have so many books- go figure 🤔! LOL) Lots of spooky and fall books📚 to read- Business Casual, Witches Get Things Done, Cinnamon Bun Book Store, Happy Medium, Scritch-Scratch and so many more. Glad to see your feeling better. Happy October Reading!🍁🎃🍁
Bahahaha! I'm glad it's not just me! 🤣 I need to look into The Cinnamon Bun Book Store and Scritch-Scratch! They sound fun!! I hope you have a fantasy reading month!! 😍
😂❤ Ha Ha Ha!! Said it before I love and enjoy your humor!! Intro as always was fabulous! Loved your entire video! Loved the ending too! Great having your book loving dog to!!😊🐕
Oh Holly, you are just a burst of sunshine!!! Thank you for your lovely comment! You made my day! My husband was reliving his drama days when he started "directing" me. I asked for help filming one quick thing, but then he and my four year-old got really excited! 😆 I actually have clips of her doing everything I did, but I feel guilty showing her cute little face online, LOL. At least Buddy's for the spotlight! 🤣 I hope you have a FANTASTIC reading month!! 😃
Hi Bea! I'm so glad that you're feeling and doing better. I love your intros as always. Love the book recommendations. I'm definitely going to some to my growing TBR. Anyhoo, I hope that you're having a wonderful evening and have a wonderful week. Take care, sweetie ❤❤❤.
OMG! THIS IS EVERYTHING! I love that intro!!!!!!!! I hope you love all the books! Here's to some new favs! And you have now convinced me to try The Haunted Heart! I'm excited!
Love your intros! So glad you are starting to feel better- your health should always come first, but it was so much fun to see your videos everyday over the summer- I loved stepback summer! My daughter and I are going to try to do a Halloween/Spooky themed readathon this October. We'll see how much we can get done around her schedule at college (apparently she values her education or some such nonsense, what can you do?) I put of few of the books you talked about on my ever growing tbr- spooky plots moving to the top of the pile for October. Still finishing some arcs right now though...
Oh Jan, that all sounds so great! I love that you and your daughter are doing a readathon while she's at college. What a fun idea!! I hope you enjoy your ARCs too! 🥳
Bea you have such a busy time coming up! So many books on your TBR sound good and I definitely will be looking up a few. When He Was Wicked is hands-down the best of the Bridgerton series in my opinion, so I hope you enjoy. Happy reading! - Julie 👻🎃
Ive read other books by molly harper and they are great fun! I was eyeing that one a target a while back so im excited to know its on hoopla! Also i think its so great that you try to include where all the books live !
Haha! You saying you don't know if you've ever been 100% is so real and relatable! *lol* "This Spells Love" sounds very interesting, I'll take a closer look now. 😊
Mckenna and Aline were just too incredible to out down today so I finished it! 5 stars! My song for them: So Close by Jon Mclaughlin- if you are unfamiliar with it- fair warning it is from the Enchanted movie… so best to relive it as a lyrics only video. But I think this really captures what they each go through those years later- they’re right there up for grabs for one another and still so far from the love they have for one another. Ugh- that ending though! YES!
Yes I LOVE that song and that movie!!! I've actually been thinking about it a lot lately because I've been using the song "Ever Ever After" (from it, by Carrie Underwood) for our Happy Ever After Playlist book club meeting for our Abby Jimenez Readalong, haha! What a coincidence! Your song choice for Aline and McKenna is just perfect!!! I know, the ending!!! It gets me EVERY TIME!!! ❤️
Thank you for spending so much time to make this lovely video. You adding the details about where to get the books for free is a wonderful resource for your viewers and I wish more people did this. 🥰 I love to see your TBR, as well as the pile of possibilities! If you do get around to it, you should definitely pick up This Spells Love. I really enjoyed it! Just to set your expectations, our FMC isn't a witch, she and her friends are just messing around with an old spell book and accidentally cast a spell! Really fun read and I hope if you get to it that you enjoy it as well. Lastly, Stacy Reid is queen and I can't believe you got to talk to her!!! Excited about all your future content! Hopefully you can get some reading done while waiting at all your appointments!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! It means the world to me! The term "pile of possibilities" is so great! I'm going to have to mention that in an upcoming TBR video, and attribute it to you, of course. 😍 Thank you for the info about This Spells Love! Whoops! 🤣 Yes, I am just SO EXCITED about working with Stacy Reid in any way, shape, or form. Can't wait to talk to Lucia Damisa tomorrow! 😃
@@mamaneedstoreadromance Ha, no need to credit me for "Pile of Possibilities." I heard it somewhere and now it's yours too! Hope your October is off to a great start!!
So… are you ready… I AM NEW to historical romance and I am now reading the Wallflowers series- starting back with Again the Magic- so that I can join the live show for Devil in Winter! I’m dedicated! So, I think I can make it happen! I’m 8 chapters into Again the Magic- my heart aches for these two! The end of Ch 5 caught my breath. And, now I cannot out it down!
Oh my goodness! This is SO exciting!!! Oh I can't wait for you to binge these and then read many people's favorite: Devil in Winter! Can't wait to hear your take at the live show!!! 🥳
I mentioned this in one of your more recent videos: Sleeping Beauty by Judith Ivory has a heroine who is a high class courtesan. I haven't read it, but Mary Balogh's A Precious Jewel also has a heroine who's a courtesan/mistress.
I love your videos ❤❤ Take care of you, that's the most important 🫶 Christian Fox!!! My favorite narrator of all time❤ I planned to listen to the audio of The cock down the block just because he's the narrator. I love Zachary Webber too!! (The "not😉" thing 😂😂😂😂)
Thank you so much, Val! Even though I'd physically read The Cock Down the Block, I was thinking of listening just because of Christian Fox too! 🤣 Have a super week!
Hey Bea !!! Again such a fun video !! Please take care of yourself, there will always be time later to do more for your channel. You are an amazing person, and you give so much positive energy so it is important to recharge your own batteries hahaha. Thank you for sharing your plans. I really want to try the scandal of rose, I would love to spy someone in his bath.. and be spied on as a return of courtesy. BTW, don't be ashamed of your French it is great ! For the olympics we had to suffer all my French fellow speaking English, and believe, your French is far better ! See soon! Love you !!❤❤❤❤❤
You made me laugh so hard, Amena! I can't imagine what the Olympics were like for you, having to hear all of those English speakers, especially if they were somehow worse than me. 🤣 I am definitely working on resting now, as I think I overdid it. Happily, my husband is really helping out! Let me know what you think of The Scandal of Rose. I'm looking forward to hopefully getting to it before too long! 🥳
🦇🦇 I love my Kobo Plus subscription! It is available in the US for $7.99 for just ebooks or just audiobooks or for $9.99 for both ebooks and audiobooks combined. You got me started on Sarah Ready's books and her Ghosted series is available there 🤩
Oh my gosh, I feel so silly! I had no idea it was available in the U.S. 🤦🏻🤣 $9.99 for ebooks and audiobooks?!? I think I might need to get this subscription!!! Can you read them on a Kindle? I'm SO happy that you're enjoying the Ghosted series!! ❤️
@@mamaneedstoreadromance I'm afraid you cannot read Kobo Plus books on a Kindle. However, Kobo has a good app so you can read on your phone or your tablet. They also have their own ereaders. I like my Kobo better than my Kindle. But I know that having multiple ereaders isn't feasible for everyone. I've used my first Kobo ereader for almost a decade but upgraded this year when they came out with color eink screens and the ability to write directly onto the book instead of making separate notes/annotations. My old ereader still works great so they're a very durable product. Sorry for the long reply, I just like Kobo and how they treat the authors on their Kobo Plus platform so I try to talk them up 😅
I believe mistress trope was a lot more popular in the old school days of romance. Some ones that I know of that have it are A Precious Jewel by Mary Balogh (VERY angsty), A Date at the Altar by Cathy Maxwell (Very cute. Kind of in the Tessa Dare vein), The Lotus Palace by Jeannie Lin (great book, more serious than melodramatic) and Claiming the Courtesan by Anna Campbell (have not read, but it is apparently very dark. Probably not up your alley.)
SOLD (except for that last one...you know me too well! 🤣)!!! I'm so fascinated to try something new with some major drama just baked right into the trope!! ❤️ Thanks so much for these recs. I'm adding them to my TBR! 🥳
It's not dumb! I can't wait to hear what you think of Devil in Winter! By the way, I'm BEYOND excited that you're back. (Everyone in my house is sick, including me, which is why I haven't watched your video yet, but I'm looking forward to it. TH-cam isn't the same without you!) ❤️
Curious to see what you think about business casual it’s definitely the most spiciest book in the series, but it also made me cry. I’ve only listened to one Blake Lockhart book, he has a really nice voice.
The bloopers are so adorable! Love that it is a family affair! Everyone wants to help! So sweet!
Oh thank you so much, Jeannie! They were all VERY involved. 🤣
I need to continue with the Wallflower series. I love Lisa Kleypas. She is such a good writer. ❤😊
She really is! I hope you get to continue with the Wallflowers series. It's SO GOOD. 😍
@@mamaneedstoreadromance yes, i need to read about Sebastian & Evangeline.
This was such a joy to watch! The intro was absolutely top tier entertainment. Wishing you the best of luck with all your reads!
Thanks Dana! I'm still adding to my TBR. There's no way I'll get to all of these, LOL.
You make me laugh so, so much.😂😂 I just love ya Bea!👻🎃
Love ya too, Cheryl! I hope you're having a great week! 🥳
That is AMAZING that queen Stacy Reid reached out to you! It's been so much fun to watch your channel and influence grow, and you deserve allllll the author interviews because your excitement for books always makes me want to pick them up haha.
Oh Ashton, you just made my day! Thank you so much!!! I’m just having the best time, thanks largely to meeting amazing people like you! 🥳
Those sound like some great reads. I love spooky season.🎃
Thanks so much Linda! Me too! I hope yours is great!! 😊
Hahahaa I was cracking up 😂 I love you too❤ and I'm feeling the 5 star vibes already from The Happy Ever After Playlist!!
Woohoo! I can't believe it! I'm SOOO looking forward to our chat on Sunday! 🥳
I wouldn't have said I was all that interested in stepbacks, but you made me care and now they're my whole personality.
I love it!!! They're so much fun, right?!? ❤️ It's hard to believe that two years ago I didn't even know they existed!
Just finished Ghosted by Sarah Ready, thank you for the recommendation! Loved this book. Plan to read mostly spooky romance during October. 🦇
Yay!!!!! Oh I'm so happy to hear it, Merry!! I hope you have a fun and spooky reading month!! (I wasn't wearing my glasses when I read your comment and thought your emoji was a turkey at first 🤣.). 👻
Can’t believe it we are already on our October TBR‘s
So true, Angie! This year has flown by! 😀
So happy you are feeling better! That intro was everything!!! 😂I can relate!! I want to read the Jacquie D’Alessandro novel this month too! It’s on my October TBR.
Oh fun, Paige! If you get to it and I don't, you have to tell me what you thought!!! ❤️
Haha "You're back!" 😂
Love your video, as always! So excited for our fall liveshow!
Thank you so much, Crystal! Can't wait to do the live with you!! 🥳
Truly an Oscar worthy skit!!
Also. I REALLY enjoyed Sleepless at Midnight! Book 2 of the series ended up being one of my faves of 2023!!
Thank you so much, Rachel! 🤣 I'm thrilled to hear that book two of that series was one of your favs! Officially slinging it higher on the told TBR! 😃
Love this! I’m so behind on all of my book club books 😱
No worries! Thankfully the month hasn't even started yet. You're such a busy bee! 😍
Glad you’re starting to feel better!! Really looking forward to the longer form book hauls and the rest of the studio set up. You did motivate me to get some of my stuff rearranged… thank goodness the Chiro is scheduled for tomorrow, lol! 👻🎃👻🦇
