this one is a long one, so grab a snack :)

My favorite books in March were Fourth Wing and Iron Flame! I finally got on board and I’m SO UPSET I waited so long to read them! I was immediately obsessed. Also I love these wrap ups and love how long and detailed they are! Immediately adding some of these to my TBR. 🎉

Thank you so much! Slowly coming out of my winter sweatsuits 😂😂

Great wrap up video! They’re always fun to watch. I also read The Only One Left in March and enjoyed it. But my favorite read was a toss up between Assassin’s Blade and Heir of Fire (first time through TOG). My library hold for The Poppy War also just came in yesterday, and I started that one last night!

glad you enjoyed it! OH you are on some amazing reading journeys ❤️

Loved the video! My favourite book this month was The Fragile Threads of Power (I reread the entire trilogy beforehand to refresh myself) as it built and developed on the previous books so well! Vicious was also great (reread for me), and I definitely agree with VE Schwab being incredible at writing morally grey characters. Looking forward to the next video!

Divine Rivals and Ruthless Vows were both 5 star reads for me. Completely sucked me into the world, and I think they will get a reread as comfort books from time to time. So glad you recommended them, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have picked them up. Your book videos have really helped keep me in my reading phase. It feels like a bookclub but I don’t have to keep up with everyone’s pace 😅.

Holy crap, thirteen books and like four of them were over 500 pages long? Good job! Just For the Summer sounds so good but I might save it for the summer just for the vibes, haha! I’m… intrigued, to say the least, by Manacled and do plan on giving it a try at some point or another. That Lucy Score book sounds wild! Don’t think I’ll ever read her as her books don’t seem like something I’d enjoy, from what I’ve heard, but your description of it had me thoroughly entertained. Ohh, I’m excited to hear what you think about Vicious. I love it and it holds a very special place in my heart as it was my very first V.E. Schwab novel.

@jaimefok

it was a big month of reading!! a couple of the shorter novellas and the audio book definitely helped. just for the summer would totally be a good summer read haha, do it!! ❤️

I totally agree with your opinion on Lucy Score! I love when characters are in their 30’s+ but she makes them so immature!!! It’s so frustrating to read!

All the Light We Cannot See is one of my favorite books of all time!! I agree, the writing was so beautiful and poetic, just overall such a lovely read despite the heavy topics. I'm glad that you got a chance to read it. Have you seen the netflix special yet? THE BOOK IS SO MUCH BETTER imo!

When you were talking about Just for the Summer you mention that Abby Jimenez ties her books together in a similar way as Taylor Jenkins Reid and I could not stop thinking and analyzing what I may have missed. To be fair, I haven't read Malibu Rising but I have read Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Daisy Jones and the Six - what connections did I miss?!?!?! 😅 Ok ok, now that I got that out I can move on and continue enjoying the video 🙂
