My 5 Star March Reads were: - A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab (seriously read this, there is a reason Jaime gushes about it so much) - Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir (lesbian necromancers in space, not a SciFi fan but the level of sass out of Gideon is *chefs kiss*) - The Wall of Winnepeg and Me by Mariana Zapata (very slow burn, Football-romance. I am not a sports fan but I fell head-over-heels for Aiden, the Canadian male leads)

My most recent 5 ⭐️ read: Voyage of the Damned by Frances White. It’s a murder mystery, but in a fantasy world and on a ship. Plus: it’s super inclusive. It had everything I wanted in a book and I just ATE IT UP 🙌🏻✨

I have like 180 books on my tbr 😂 I just buy and buy ! I read a book every 3 days a week max yet I keep buying more books that’s how tbrs keep growing 😂

I’m so with you on V E Schwab. I loved the Darker Sades of Magic. Also, I am enjoying Mistborn. But we part ways on Kristin Hannah. She’s a 3 star for me. Am reading The Women for my book group, and it’s a 3+star bc of the topic. Feel the same about Riley Sager. I read the book you showed and it was ok… hope you enjoy all of them.

Heheh I pretty much completely agree with your points on When the Moon Hatched! The smut was so random and misplaced- like I remember getting to the first one around 40% and just laughing in disbelief, then skipping over the scene because... no thanks.... (though overall I gave the book a lower rating because those details and the main character annoyed me a bit too much) The Fragile Threads of Power was 100% a 5 star read though! For other 5 star reads, I'd recommend The Lies of Locke Lamora (soooo good, lots of great plot twists, heist fantasy), The Way of Kings, Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow, the Cage of Souls, The Name of the Wind, Nevernight, Red Rising... so many good books! Anyway, I loved the video and can't wait for the next one!

I’ve been wanting to read When the Moon Hatched for a while now but your comments about the main character giving off Mary Sue/not like other girls vibes have me a little bit hesitant to pick it up. Definitely still planning on getting to it at some point but I’m probably not gonna make it a priority for the time being. So glad to hear that you loved The Only One Left! It’s definitely my favorite Riley Sager novel out of the ones I’ve read. His earlier books have been a little bit of a mixed bag for me personally but I thought he really hit it out of the park with this one.

@@jaimefok I mean, if any of his older books sound interesting to you, go for it! I didn’t actively dislike any of them, although I didn’t exactly love them either. I did actually enjoy Lock Every Door quite a bit. I had to suspend my disbelief a fair bit but I thought he managed to create this atmosphere of creeping dread that I really appreciated.

I’ve read all of Riley Sager’s books and really enjoyed them all, for the most part. Have you read Ruth Ware? I’m curious which thrillers you read that you didn’t love.
