Mina and the Slayers is so fun! That book, The Honey Witch, is gorgeous. That's the same way I feel about TBRs, it just feels like an assignment and takes away the fun. Great answers!
Hell yes, David Sodergren fan club unite! 😂 And Mina is seriously such a great series. I’m tempted to reread the first two books before I read the final in the trilogy. The more often you mention Butcher & Blackbird, the more I’m tempted to give it a shot!
Sodergren will probably be my favorite new-to-me author of the year. Not sure what you would think of butcher and blackbird. People seem to either love or hate it, and I was shocked that I was into it
Woohoo glad you used my questions! I'm really excited to hear your thoughts on Brother, it's one of my favs I think reading books with older characters is going to be a new goal of mine. I'm really tired of reading about teens lol Facts keep mood reading!! Picking a TBR and NOT forcing myself to stick to it is a challenge
It is totally a challenge to mood read, and I keep repeating it so that I will actually follow my own advice. Loved Brother! And yes, I wouldn't be sad if I never read a book about a teen/20-something again. Kind of odd that I don't mind reading middle grade though!
🎉 great to hear how your reading is going, 72 books is a great place to be in June 👏The Reformatary and I Was a Teenage Slasher are both on my TBR. The Angel of Indian Lake was such a great way to round up the trilogy, you'll love it when you get around to it 😊 Great video
I hope you end up loving the Reformatory and teenage slasher as much as I did! I'm both excited and scared to get to the 3rd book in the trilogy. Sad for it to end!
I just started My Heart is a Chainsaw. It has been on my TBR for a while, but I saw that he is coming to LA for an appearance this month, so I figured I better start it. For dark fantasy, I’ve been hearing people recommend Jay Kristoff’s Empire of the Vampire. I haven’t read it myself yet, but the premise sounds interesting.
I hope you enjoy my heart is a chainsaw. People seem to either love or hate it. I tried empire of the vampire last month and DNF'd it. I think I would be into the story, but the author's writing style was really not for me
Hey! Long time no see! I had the same experience with House of Leaves, but I didn't even make it through the first chapter. I think I tried to read it at a really bad time, which was not too long after my Dad passed. I do plan to give it a second go, but I don't know when. Take care!
I can't wait for you to read The Angel of Indian Lake. David Sodergren strikes again! I'm definitely going to add some of his books to my August TBR. I've tried to read House of Leaves three times. It's on my November TBR, too. I even have a study guide for it. Are you up for a buddy read?
Yes! Sodergren is on fire! I'm just late to the party. Yes, I had planned on attempting to read HoL with you in Nov....but if I really can't take it, I may need to DNF it for good. You are always able to see more into the story, so maybe that will help!
50/72 is a great ratio! How could your fictional crush not be Toby No-Bone? House of Leaves… parts of the book was 5 stars for me and other parts were 1 or 2 stars. I definitely loathed a good bit of that book 😂 Joe Abercrombie is so so good. He’s my favorite author. I’ve heard great things about Robin Hobb’s character work as well. I love your fall shirt 🦇 👻 🍂
Great Tag Kritz! I Was A Teenage Slasher sounds like a fun Halloween read. Maggie's Grave is my book of the year so far, also blown away and cannot wait to read more from this author. I loved the feisty old woman from The Haar, such an awesome character. Would you like to buddy read a Sodergren book with me? Butcher & Blackbird sounds interesting, I don't read romance but two serial killers...perhaps. 🤔 The Honey Witch is so gorgeous. House Of Leaves also intimidates the hell out of me. I am moving from TBRs to Pile of Possibilities, which gives me much needed space to mood read. I need to re-read The Blade Itself as an older, wiser 😂 man.
