  For anyone who hasnt read any Marie Mistry she makes my favorite fantasy why choose romance books if not my favorite fantasy romance in general. The Deadwood series and the fith nicnivin series are my favorite

  I really love the website The Most Dangerous Writing App for flow. It's a website that you set a timer, and if you stop writing for more than a few seconds it deletes all your work. Really keeps me moving and writing 😂

  I can so relate to the pantser challenges of getting back into the writing after a break, knowing where you plan to end up but not knowing in advance how to get there which makes the writing slower... Super impressed that your first book didn't need much editing *while being a pantser* though! I'm kind of the same with shorter pieces of writing, I can get a pretty clean first draft, but I'm working on a fantasy novel too at the moment and IT'S A MESS 🤣 Mainly because I did 1000 words of summer earlier this month and really had to push through to get the word count in. Was a fun experience though! Massive kudos for hitting 6K words in 2 days!!!! That's no small feat. Really enjoyed this video, thanks for sharing your journey. That flamingo tea box is gorgeous btw!

  I simply could not get into Sarah J Maas! Feel like a complete outlier. However, here are some gems that don't get mentioned nearly enough - i) The War of Lost Hearts series by Carissa Broadbent, ii) The Kindred's Curse Saga by Penn Cole, iii) Rook and Rose series by M.A. Carrick, and iv) The Shepherd King duology by Rachel Gillig.

  Ahah, having a regular DND campaign is so cozy to me, I love it too :) Your job sounds very demanding indeed. I'd love to hear more about how you balance it (or try to at least) with your writing. I definitely relate to having a full-time job that takes a lot of mental energy and making it difficult to have enough left for being creative for yourself, so always keen to hear about others' experiences with this. I'm also very curious about whether your employer knows about your KZread channel, what they think of it, how you walk the line and decide on what you can show and tell about it. In any case, thanks for bringing us along, it's fascinating to get a glimpse of that part of the book business!

  Thanks for your comment! My employer does know about my channel and I only really share areas of my job which are 'public' in a way - ie. that I would be happy to share on social media and aren't confidential or unprofessional for me to share! Lots of people in publishing nowadays have social media platorms/TikToks/KZread channels so it's not too strange at least ☺️ thanks for watching!

  I'm really struggling to go on with Fourth Wing. The beginning is just so bad written! Is the story worth it? I am really into the big fantasies, but this one just feels like it's in the same category with Twilight within the fantasy genre. :D which is not a positive thing if you ask me!

• 
  @thebookbelle18 күн бұрын

  It DEFINITELY gives me Twilight vibes too! I just think it's really good fun, not necessarily the best written/most intricate fantasy novel but a fun romantasy that I found pretty addictive! Thanks for watching :)

  Honestly speaking, I wish that Romantasy had its own section because it's shelved along with other authors like Sanderson and someone who reads romantasy and then goes to read Sanderson is going to experience a lot of whiplash because they might think that Romantasy is what fantasy as a whole is. At the same time, I get why they do it, because people catch a lot of flak for reading romance books. I'm intrigued by the taking off of spice scenes, BookTok, and books like Fourth Wing that took off even though (IMO) the book is terrible and it was poorly researched especially with the Scots Gaelic. I might be too biased though because as a fantasy writer, it's really easy for me to zoom in on things and criticize it that I guess others wouldn't. Idk i got to the gets-you-into-trouble-and-you-like-it-level-of-hot and put the book down because I just couldn't and if I wanted to then I would have read something on Wattpad instead. I have no problem saying that the book wasn't for me even though I love romance, fantasy, and some romantasy. 23:39 Great point. I remember reading Kresley Cole in high school (probably shouldn't have been LOL).
