I'm immediately taking the girl on 6e off my tbr. I've heard all I need to hear to know that ones not for me lol. Thanks for saving me!! 🤣 Ouuu I think I'll really enjoy Viola Davis' memoir. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Ahhh I loved how can I help you. I want a sequel/prequel!! I'm soooo intrigued by the haunting of velkwood. Seems like such a unique premise. I hope Feb is a better reading month for you !! 🥰

It was not worth the time at all 🥴 honestly maybe should've given it 2 stars 😅. I need a physical copy of how can I help you now. I want to reread it!! I would love to hear your thoughts on the haunting of velkwood! Feb has been a much slower reading month but nothing under 3 stars so far 🤞🏻
I am SO RELIEVED to see you liked Children of Fallen Gods 😅 I quite enjoyed the first book and am starting bk 2 today ahaha. Looking forward to the plot and relationships to develop a bit more. The first part of Bk 1 I just couldn't stop imagining Max as like a very old man with the looking over the glasses thing lol. 👻

Omg I cannot wait to hear your thoughts on it!! Max was just not it in the first book, but I found him to be so much more funny and actual book boyfriend material in the other two 🤪
Just finished this new, original collection of fairy tales, entitled 'Sillies, Fancies, and Trifles' - it was phenomenal and just perfect for the season. What's everyone else reading, I want some more recommendations to add to the lovely ones here. Keep up the beautiful videos :)
Ugh it's so frustrating reading multiple books in a row that you don't like, especially when you think you'll really like them and they aren't just random pickups. I'm so excited to read the Daughter of No Worlds series now from your review haha

Oh no! Strega is my BC pick for March 🫣😂 Thanks so much for joining for Mosaic! The Haunting of Velkwood is hard to explain! It reminded of like a supernatural Annihilation 😅 👻👻👻

Great wrap up 📚☕
I tried reading White Horse and didn’t get very far before my DNF. Divine Rivals was one of my favorite books last year! Under The Whispering Door was so freaking sad and also wasn’t a complete hit for me. Hopefully February has a lot more 5 ⭐️ for you

You saved so much time 😂 divine rivals was such a breath of fresh air for me. Such a solid read! Feb is a much slower reading month but so far nothing under 3 stars and may even be finishing up a 5 star 🥰
Omg im so sorry you had so many b2b 2 star reads 😭 hope you’re having a better reading month! I need to get to the war of lost hearts trilogy. I started with her crowns of nyaxia duology so very interested getting into these!

Yes, "This Wretched Valley" was such a letdown. I wish people would stop pushing it as Survival Horror, it is so much more a supernatural story and I disliked that so much.
@WickedScorpio

Yeah, it's not even listed as supernatural on goodreads. I still would've read it, but with much lower expectations since supernatural doesn't always work well for me
nice! I also read 12 books and close to 5k pages.. I hope I can do that every month 😅 if only they let me physically read all day at work lol

Mosaic caught my attention, but damn a 2.5 I'm going to have to pass on it. Love your reviews

Oh man, I really hope Velkwood works for me 🤞🤞🤞 And I hope you get some horror successes soon! Also! One of my favorite podcasts has a great episode on the Dyatlov Pass incident. It's called You're Wrong About if you're interested 😊

I hope it works for you too and is a 5 star! 🫶 I am determined to find the horror I need. Ooo yes I will for sure check it out!! I listened to the mile higher podcast talk about it. They do a lot of mysterious stuff, true crime, conspiracies, etc. If you wanted another podcast too ☺️

I haven’t been hearing anything great about This Wretched Valley 😬 The Dyatlov Pass incident is so interesting. I wonder if the marketing team just used that as a selling point.

That would not surprise me at all honestly. All the reviews I saw were from before release and they were allll 5 stars. I was so confused😅 but the average on goodreads is way different now. Such a bummer!!
Who loved This Wretched Valley?! WHO?! Because I DNFed it not even half way through 😂 And oh yes, White Horse is so random. I still don’t understand why the main character went to the Stanley hotel. I was so confused when we ended up there. I was like, did I miss something?! 😂 But I enjoyed it overall! Probably a 3.5 ⭐️ I loved it for its dive bar vibes. Bad Cree is so dreamy and sweet!! I just wish there was a little bit more substance there. I think I teared up at one point toward the end!
@WickedScorpio

Okay people were LOVING this wretched valley before its release, every review i saw on IG and netgalley was like 5 stars but it's goodreads ratings are very different now 😂 much more accurate imo 👀☕️ White Horse definitely had the dive bar vibes!! Yeah a little more substance would've probably made me connect to bad cree a little more. But such an interesting premise!
