I've had Say You Swear on my tbr for a while now. I need to get around to reading it, but I have such an issue with Meagan Brandy's writing style. She jumps from one thing to another with not enough context in-between transitions. It throws me out of her stories. I recently read The Deal Dilemma by her, and I really liked it. Then, I started reading her Brayshaw series. Loved the first book, and by the 3rd book, I had to throw in the towel. She's either a hit or a total miss.

I haven’t read any other books by her. I did have to reread some parts but not sure if it was the writing or I wasn’t focusing (a lot of my reading this week was in the same room with my 7 year old).

I'm considering getting a tbr cart. I don't know if I really need one, or if I just think I need one because so many people seem to be enjoying having one... 😂. I think, if I do get one, I'll spring for a more substantial metal one. It's unfortunate this was a fail for you, but it was actually helpful in the sense that it alerts those considering buying one to make sure it will suit their needs. I will definitely be checking out what the weight capacity is now.

I did end up getting another one and will be setting that one up in my weekly blog that will be going live next week. I definitely didn’t need it but I have plans on making it my quarterly TBR and trying to only pull from that during the months. In theory, the quantity of books will decrease (if I don’t buy too many during the month). We will see how I like it. Thanks for watching and commenting!!!

You should give Stepbrother Dearest by Penelope Ward a try - no blood relation there either. I've read all of the books you reviewed here, aside from Little Stranger. All a good time! 😉

this is ridiculous. you're so concerned about "young, impressionable kids" but you'll put a racist, pro slavery, antisemitic middle grade book series in a lfl. a little spice is not that bad compared to that.

While I understand where you are coming from, I would rather my own kids pick up a Harry Potter book instead of something that has spice in it. I try to think about that whenever I donate to a little library. Everyone has their own opinion though...Thanks for watching and commenting!

Hello Heidi. This was an enjoyable vlog and the way you go about your unhaul is unique and appreciated. I love that you do not put spicy books into Little Free Libraries. This is so commendable and very much appreciated. I've seen questionable books in LFLs in the past and I've taken them out for the same reason. And I know what you mean about those thick and smaller books being uncomfortable in your hands. Really related to this and I thank you so much, Heidi. I knew I wouldn't enjoy Wicked so I never bought it !!

I read How Does It Feel back in February. I'll have to do a refresh here soon in preparation for What Did You Do. I quite enjoyed the first book. I remember being very frustrated that I couldn't immediately hop into the next installment, lol. Suppose I should mosey on over to Amazon and order it. Thanks for the reminder!

Bride has been sitting on my TBR shelf for a while now. At one point, I was excited to read it - at peak hype. The excitement has waned. Don't know what it is, but I'm not feeling the fantasy these days. I'm firmly in contemporary dark romance mode, lol. God of War was a bit of a disappointment. It just seemed too detached from the rest of the series. Plus, it was a huge letdown that there was no meaningful group scene to end the series on. I mean, it was THE END, and we (the readers) were completely cheated out of a "gangs all here" moment. And poor Remy got the shaft. He was owed, at least, a novella in my humble opinion. In GOW, I also took issue with the 3 bundles of joy. That was too much. Sheesh, more like a nightmare - not very romantic, 😂! I digress. 😏

Your Fragile Enchantment dilemma is similar to mine with Magnolia Parks at the moment. It's not that it's a bad book. Im 125+ pages in it - my head is not. And I hate to put it on hold. It's just not what I'm in the mood to read at the moment. The struggle to pay attention is frustratingly real. I'm suffering from a massive book hangover from For The Fans, and I want more of that. It was just so darn good that nothing else is working for me. As much as I enjoy an awesome read, it ruins me in more ways than one. 🤪😂

I had to have the OOP editions of the Magnolia Parks series. I bought those first. They are so incredibly unique and gorgeous that I didn't want to chance damaging them, so I purchased the same editions you have to actually read from. The OOP versions have to be one of my all time favorite book covers. There is just something extra special about them. Worth every penny! God of War was a 4 star read for me. While I enjoyed the story, minus the less than favorable trope, it was too disconnected from the vibe of the previous books. It was too much of a noticeable departure that had me wishing for a completely different storyline for the main characters. Walking away from the series with that disappointment left a slightly sour taste behind. The book was well written, and the character dialog was good. There was some cringy spicy time talk though, 😅. And I have to say the epilogue was a bit on the cheesy side. 3?! Good lordy was that excessive. As well, I was really hoping for at least one good group scene to close out the series - that didn't happen. That was probably my biggest issue with it overall.

I agree that God of War definitely didn’t fit into the atmosphere of the rest of the Legacy of Gods. I wished it would have at least had them in college or with the rest of the group making cameos like they did in the other books. I really wish I would have bought the original magnolia parks covers when they first came out but I was so nervous to read them because all I heard was that it had a very toxic relationship and I didn’t know if I would like it. Now I wished I would have just gotten them because they are epic covers! Thanks for watching!❤️

Finally, someone that defends twilight. I'm a man, and like Twilight, I guess I must be "odd". However, to me the setting connects with me for some reason. Also I did see the movies before reading the books which I have read multiple times. Something about the movie connects with me I am a musician and there is something about the music and the setting of forks that juat seems very relaxing to me. Like some place that would be absolutely lovely to read at lol. Anyways good job defending what alot of people just seem to not understand.

I've bought 60 books this year oml. 60 Books in 5 months. (Okay like 60 percent of these are secondhand books but still-) I feel you hahaha. What really helps me is keeping a list in which I write every book that I've bought and the month that I've bought it in.... it really helps in holding yourself accountable haha

Hope you enjoy it! It’s hard with dark romances because people can tolerate things so differently than others so something that I think is barely an issue could be triggering for others. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series though. Thanks for commenting!! ❤️

I used to read a ton when I was younger, but life got busy and I stopped reading. I read a total of 0 books last year. Since March of this year, I’m now on my 8th book! It’s the most relaxing hobby, and I’m grateful for your videos encouraging me to get back to my love for reading! 📚🥰
