And when doing this you can put money aside for when you have reached 0 and get to go book shopping to ease the potential credit card bill haha

I’m all for book buying, but girlie have you considered a library? 😂 Honestly you save so much money, you’re able to read the first book in a series for free (which is so nice when you don’t want to spend money on the whole series or you’re afraid you might not jive with it! Saves time and money which is always nice!), you can find a lot more than you think you can (some libraries really pop off and get all the newest stuff!), and you can also read a lot of good classic books! I’m so glad you’re living your book dreams though! It’s my personal dream to be surrounded by 119 books that I really want to read 🤣❤

@@Taylorjadereads Fourth Wing and Addie were my favorites of the four! I loved the Dragons and high stakes of FW! I thought the dragon/war college concept was also really cool. I also liked how smart Violet was! I really liked Addie and it wasn't like anything I've ever read. I preferred the "flashback" chapters to the current time chapters. I also thought the ending was pretty good! I liked Dracula but most of it was really slow (took me the whole month of Oct to get through it). The story was good, but it could've been like ten chapters shorter. IF was a bit disappointing after how amazing FW was, I thought it kind of dropped the ball, but I'm extremely hopeful for the 3rd book! Which were your two favorites and what did you think of them? Also, what's your current read? I'm currently reading Six of Crows and absolutely loving it!

I kinda started abandoning my physical tbr at the end of last year and mainly read eBooks for the last couple of months so I wanna do a read 2 buy 1 system for the next couple of months which to me is more sustainable than just stopping to buy books The goal is go get the tbr close-ish to 10 books (it's currently 23) Good luck on your book buying ban and here is to more conscious book buying for the both of us this year!!

For me personally I absolutely loved dance of thieves duology! they look intimidating because they're kind of thick but it's absolutely beautifully written just like you were talking about. but when it comes to the six of crows duology the fantasy is just super duper complicated and the romance is so minimal it's like it's not even there and that's the only reason why I just did not like the six of crows series. I personally think that it's a bit overhyped but I hope you enjoy both series.

Oh I didn’t even realize six of crows had any romance!! I’ve never heard anyone talk about that but I guess that is probably a good thing for my expectations then! lol

I think it was but for some reason mine said it wasn’t shipping until later? I don’t mind though bc I won’t be that far into the series for a while ☺️

If you want to read Dance of thieves, read the Remnant chronicles before that, it is happening before Dance of thieves. And From blood and ash is the first book in a series.

Omg really?! I had no idea!! Thank you 🩷

The reason why Six Scorched Roses is taller than The Serpent and the Wings of night is because the series is originally self published but recently got picked up by a publisher. So far only the first book has been released in trad pub (the first book). Book 2 comes out in June, I think, and IDK about the novella. Hope that helps.
