I don’t know what was funnier: you explaining the rating categories in the beginning or the actual ratings throughout the video. I would have loved a video essay on your take of monster romance popularity. ❤📚✌🏻

@bookslikewhoa Год назад

I feel like other people have already done it better than I could :D - check out the Lindsay Ellis one

@verucasalt4535 Год назад

Mara- I didn't know I needed this in my life until you made this vlog. Please make this into a series! Btw I recently read The Quarry Master by Amanda Milo & it was very cute, I highly recommend.

@bookslikewhoa Год назад

Ooo, yes, I've liked Amanda Milo before so I'll check it out!

@Tonlocaj Год назад

Your rating system was hilarious. Very entertaining reviews.

@scubacat22 Год назад

Run, don't walk, and pick up Soul Eater by Lily Mayne. Her Monstrous series has brought so many people into the monster loving genre, including people like myself who thought they would NEVER.

@sweeteliz Год назад

"things that go bump in the night" 😂😂😂 love it!

@mazreadssometimes Год назад

I love this~ I have so much fun with monster romances, haha--I explain the plot in a few of them to my partner and now every time I ask him the question "you wanna know what this one's about?", it's an automatic "please stop" LMAO I think he's scarred from Morning Glory's Milking Farm

@bookslikewhoa Год назад

If only he knew how much wilder these books can get... 👻

@renni5769 Год назад

this is such a fun video and i love your categories lol, i get my romance itch satisfied by reading fanfic so love seeing what you find out in the world

@bookslikewhoa Год назад

These are definitely very fanfic Esque 👏

@mirrorballmusings Год назад

Dragon's Bride and Kraken's Sacrifice are on my tbr for next month and I am so excited! I read her Court of The Vampire Queen earlier this month and the Deal with A Demon series ties into it with some of the characters in that book.

@peggyoneil2123 Год назад

🤣🤣🤣🤣 "where the eggplant lives"

@ThoughtsOnTomes Год назад

The way that you’re making me want to try another IPB book 👀 only you can achieve this lol

@bookslikewhoa Год назад

I meannnnnnn 👀

@ritah3443 Год назад

Love your intro to the reading. Yes, with all going on in the world and society, take pleasure wherever you can if you can, lol

@BlackReshiram 9 месяцев назад

i fucking love monster romance. im writing monster romances myself as we speak! the more monstrous, the better for me, personally haha. so long as they have human level intelligence, can talk and consent, anything goes baby

@ashcraft555 Год назад

Next time, I highly recommend the follow-up to Morning Glory Milking Farm. It's a human and a mothman and it's fun but with much more character development than MGMF. Definitely a step up. I was surprised at how much I liked it.

@bookslikewhoa Год назад

It's definitely on the list!

@ruthbonet6390 Год назад

“Congratulations to me.” Got a good giggle out of that. 😂 You enjoy it girl!

@sophiawoodward4838 Год назад

This video is a DELIGHT! I have laughed out loud whilst cooking dinner multiple times and I am only half way through

@bookslikewhoa Год назад

That makes me so happy!

@CheyeW13 Год назад

love ur rating systems when u do vlogs like this, theyre entertaining but also rly helpful for recs!

@socialteaist Год назад

Everything I didn't know I needed! The rating scale is perfection, lol. I had a few of these on my tbr, but now I will need to bump them up.

@matildesaraiva5288 Год назад

The way monster romances are my favourite genre

@parislondon4282 Год назад

I thought I was the only one that had an issue connecting to Katee’s books 😭 I did enjoy The Dragon’s Bride tho! 🎉

@bookslikewhoa Год назад

You are not alone!

@myrarucker7953 Год назад

Haha haha hahahahaha. Pound Town?? Haha haha You are a hoot!!😂 you’re fun girl!!

@LectoraEstherica Год назад

This was incredible fun! Love it 💖

@ashtonreads Год назад

I'd be really curious to know what you think of Olivia Riley. She writes alien romances that have a lot of sci fi plot and very monstrous looking heroes. The first book, which was her debut, is called Heart's Prisoner and I was instantly hooked and have been reading every book she writes as soon as it drops!

@LiteratureScienceAlliance Год назад

This was fantastic and loved the many different rating systems!

@bookslikewhoa Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it!

@_frijol Год назад

Love seeing you have a vlog where I've read a majority of what you're reacting to. 👽✨

@blackraven7774 Год назад

Well seeing as how I loved beauty and the beast growing up.... it's no wonder I'm weak for monster romances 😍😬🙈 loving all these vlogs from you!!! I've got fibromyalgia and depression/anxiety and I find your content soothing 💜📚☺️🤗

@krispy.reading Год назад

Have you seen that reel of how Beauty and the Beast being your fav childhood Disney movie explains your fav tropes in romance. Haha Mine would have been The Little Mermaid; no idea what that means for me though haha Hope you are having a good day today

@blackraven7774 Год назад

Hi there 🙂 no I haven't seen the reel but will def check it out. I loved The little mermaid too!!! Guess we like unconventional romances 🤗💜 thank you hope you're having a wonderful day too. 🌈

@Sweetkimmmy00 4 месяца назад

Great video! Thanks so much 🫶

@ohladysamantha Год назад

I really enjoyed the Dragon’s Bride and am still a little nervous to dip my toes into more monster romance. Thanks for highlighting some others!

@amylynnm324 Год назад

This video was so fun-and I definitely need more fun these days ❤ I dnf’d Ice Planet Barbarians from my library, but they only had it on audio and I can’t do fiction on audio. I just bought the ebook to give it a second try because the series sounds like a great time. Thanks!

@lourdesloza9365 Год назад

I'm such a monster romance fan. I would love for you to continue making more of these videos! Especially rating them 😄

@piscespaperbacks Год назад

Lovedddd this video! I remember you thought morning glory milking farm was fun which is this vibe, so I def think you should check out the next book in that series called Sweet Berries! It’s truly bananas 😂 very fun

@bookslikewhoa Год назад

It is definitely on the TBR!!

@thewildwomanofthewoods Год назад

I loved decieved by the gargoyles, but the first book in the series (stalked by the kraken) was better for me!

@bookslikewhoa Год назад

Ooo good to know!!

@jennylovesbooks5591 Год назад

love this video...I really liked Deceived by the Gargoyles but I've discovered I like reverse harem in my smut...who knew 😏 I'm less into aliens & alien abduction stories though... lucky for us there's something for everyone 😁

@lwhite807 Год назад

Loved this episode, great work, funny, some good recs and gold rating system. Peen, pound town 😂😂

@generous1star943 Год назад

Absolutely love this entire concept, the rating scale - spectacular hahaha

@generous1star943 Год назад

THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT L O L omg

@netogrof Год назад

My favorite monster romances are from the Monstrous Series by Lily Mayne. Books 1,2,4,&5. She has so many side stories for free on her website and has quite a few more books planned for the series. I’m looking forward to book 7 since it’ll wrap up a plot line that’s existed since book 2 😂

@KeepCalmwithBooksandCoffee Год назад

I love all of this. What a fun vlog!

@monica_has116lentilsand2cats Год назад

note to self: do NOT watch mara talk monster-pow-chick-a-pow-ow with a mouth full of hot coffee! but - categories for „monster smut“ 👉🏻 that‘s just absolute gold! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

@lifewithlindsey1920 Год назад

🤣🤣🤣 this was the most creative idea!!! So fun to watch!!!

@bookslikewhoa Год назад

Thank you 🤗

@nataliemcquade1403 Год назад

I loved this, and would love to see more videos like these!!

@mastersal4644 Год назад

Love this video - thank god for romance !! Best video ever …. Eggplants 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@00moon Год назад

I picked up one series that you reviewed before that was like... Meads something? "I got drunk and accidentally.." that series. Now I'm intrigued about that Soul to Keep book, I just love cool creature design!

@priscilla.t.a Год назад

Amazing. That's all I have to say. I loved this video, thank you for making and sharing it. 💖

@00moon Год назад

You're a breath of fresh air in the increasingly puritan interweb.

@danichiong6727 Год назад

Love it or list it 😂 my favorite category and glad it’s separate from smash or pass

@lauratolhurst3443 Год назад

I loved this vlog. One of the series I think is really good for alien abduction romances is the Galactic Love series by Ann Aguirre, especially the first book Strange Love (don't know if you've read any of them).

@KaryR-bi9vc Год назад

I picked up Strange Love mainly because of the talking dog, but ended up loving the characters and their relationship (happily, the talking dog was also wonderful).

@bookslikewhoa Год назад

It's on my list!

@tara5742 Год назад

Spooky intro music! You spoil us 🎃

@bookslikewhoa Год назад

😁

@ReadBecca Год назад

😂 I love your rating scales.

@joyceh1053 Год назад

Is "A Soul to Keep" a fanfic of "The Ancient Magus' Bride"??. That duskwalker on the cover looks exactly like Elias.

@shadowblackheart7556 Год назад

I dunno about it being a fanfic, but the duskwalker looks like how a Wendigo creature is usually depicted.

@bookslikewhoa Год назад

It's definitely the same creature - not sure of the inspo, since I haven't ready that series

@catherineheld77 Год назад

Mara, with Flor‘s book out, its like the end of the Icehome series. Will you do a deep dive about the Icehome like you made with IPB? I enjoyed that so much❤

@bookslikewhoa Год назад

I may do a Rubyverse update at some point - I got through most of Icehome in that original video, so would need more books to talk about beyond that series

@surpriseitsus9622 Год назад

I want to read 1s. I like vampires 🧛‍♂️ and werewolves. Sounds fun.

@alirem422 Год назад

Luxuria by Colette Rhodes was a great monster romance!

@heabooktubes Год назад

I just read A Soul to Keep yesterday.

@bookslikewhoa Год назад

So you KNOW

@parkercrystal1 Год назад

I looooooved that one.

@bonniedoeswhat795 Год назад

I hope you are going to clog the darker Halloween stuff too! ❤

@bookslikewhoa Год назад

Oh I shall no worries

@sabrinalc1587 Год назад

I felt very conflicted about a soul to keep. Ultimately just too long for my liking

@Tygerhutch Год назад

😂❤

@NovelNanny Год назад

Lol she’s great

@TheGoofy1932 Год назад

As a Beauty and the Beast Stan, I definitely appreciate a monster 👾 romance. Although, I do like a paranormal/urban fantasy as much as I do a sci-fi romance. As my give a damn is broken, I have no regrets about my reading 📖 taste. 😆 I like the Honey Phillips alien abduction series. (The Kraken and Naga were stand outs for me in this series, but the majority lived in the 3-3.5 stars region) I do like the Regine Abel and Ruby Dixon series a bit more, but Phillips is still a good time. Not everybody loves Katee Robert.😏 I've tried several of hers, and they fall flat for me. I have not read The Dragon's Bride, but I was Not a fan of her Greek God retellings or fairytale retellings. While I like the idea of a gargoyle and poly set ups don't bother me I don't think I would like the Deception- set up seems a little too cheating adjacent for my taste. Michelle Mills is Not for me. But I'm generally a hard sell on the novella length that she favors. A Soul to Keep has been on my TBR for a bit. Honestly, all the Tik Tok attention it's been getting recently is the reason it's still just on my TBR, and I haven't actually read it yet. Tik Tok can be just a bit unreliable with recommendations. 😂 Ruby Dixon is the sci-fi romance queen 👑 at this point. I would say Ice Home is a good place to start. She really found her footing, I think, with the blue guys in that series. Love the idea for this video. Tiffany Roberts is another author that writes good monster romance. They (husband and wife writing team-and we love 😍 those 🤣) have several series.
