You're so beautiful

This is the coolest thing!! I'm so happy youtube recommended this video, definitely participating :)))))

Love listening to this for reading times

Gorgeous board. So is this in addition to the April and August readathons or a replacement this year? Its my first year in Aeldia and im currently working through the Novice Path! Just wondering if the board game is meant to replace any of the stuff from previoys years?

I cannot BELIEVE I am only just NOW discovering this readathon. I must have literally been under a rock. Can I still do the novice path and past challenges?! Or should I just jump right in to this year?! I WANT TO DO ALL THE THINGS. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED. 😭💕

If you want to give romantasy a proper chance and like inventive, unique magic systems and a little mysterious, slightly fast-paced narratives that pull you in, as well as cosy but also pulls-at-your-heartstrings vibes, I cannot recommend Freya Marske's The Last Binding-trilogy enough, starting with "A Marvellous Light"! The way you describe "The undertaking of Heart and Mercy" and "The Tainted Cup", "A Marvellous Light" sounds like a mix of the two!

I obviously have a need to create my character from scratch and can't just skip. I went thru step by step even though I am just joining now. I even went so far as to use AI to create my character after I figured out which one I was! haha Love it and can't wait to see how I progress before April 2025 and the new school year begins haha.

Maybe this is the year I complete my journey through Aeldia! For once I'm not looking ahead. It will truly be an adventure.

I've not read any of these, so added a few to my TBR! My top book of 2024 was probably Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead. I also loved quite a few golden age crime books, like Clouds of Witness by Dorothy Sayers and The Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey.

I have a tendency to read my absolute worst book in January every year, so there's just something about Januarys

sooo happy that early Riser was in there!!

I felt the same way about cytonic but I really enjoyed the last book. I would suggest picking up the novellas and if you like those then read the last book.

On the prompt list, there's no prompt for where to go from 2D. Is that a mistake?

The Tainted Cup was one of my favorite reads in 2024. I like how immersive Robert Jackson Bennett builds his worlds. And that is funny about the Lithuanian words.

We read The Measure in our bookclub because your review intrigued me so much!

Best fantasy: The Will of the Many (which you are probably seeing everywhere but deservedly so). Best literary fiction: Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors. Best romance (which I never give five stars but this shocked me so I suggest looking up the premise): Role Playing by Cathy Yardley

I am so excited to join! I have done nothing in Aeldia/Orilium so far but I'm hoping this pushes me to start with a character and everything!

My favourite from 2024 was A Rival Most Vial by R.K. Ashwick (why is there no potion emoji? 😆)

I picked up The Measure because you’d mentioned it in your video - and it turned out to be my best read of 2024. Thank you! ❤

I also have killer Januarys with my reading. Maybe it’s because we’re picking up the most exciting and 5-star prediction books from last year’s reads?

Ohh I saw this challenge in a reading journal set up by Mal’s Muses. I think imma give it a go this year!!

Added some of these to my TBR! I loved "The God of the Woods" by Liz Moore and "Shark Heart" by Emily Habeck

I love House of Hollow. So wonderfully gruesome.

Are you making a new cawpile video?

Angels Before Man is probably my favourite book of 2024. I had quite a lot of 5 star reads, with more than one V.E. Schwab and Robin Hobb books among them ❤

📚📚✨

I loved The tainted cup! Hope the sequel is just as good if not better! My fav was probably The Bone Harp by Victoria Goddard. I think maybe I'll give Jade City another chance this year.

Ever since you talked about the messure I've wanted to read it as well. Have finally managed to put it on my wishlist because otherwise I'll forget (again). Maybe this is the year 😁

I only had six 5 star reads last year 😅 The tainted cup A letter to the luminous deep by Silvie Cathrall Kindred by Octavia E. Butler the last book in Chamber's wayfarer series The second book in Hobbs' farseer trilogy 😍 Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen

I just finished The Tainted Cup, I had preordered the second one by chapter 9, loved it 💜

Did you know that there is a new Bunny book coming out? <3

My favorite was The Spirit Bares Its Teeth. It’s YA fantasy/horror with an autistic trans MC and it’s amazing! Highly recommend 😁

You reminded me of The Tainted Cup, I'm gonna start that today I think for my cold (potentially snowy) day off work

I felt very similar about cytonic. Didn’t like it at all but decided to read the skyward flight (three “short” stories) anyway to give it another chance and really enjoyed it and just today I finished Defiant and I loved it. It gave me the same feels as Skyward book 1.

I felt the same with Cytonic. Books 1 and 2 are some of my favourite sci-fi books and then Cytonic led to me to DNF the series

Added quite a few of these to my TBR, but I dnf’d The Measure. I thought it would be sci-fi and was just bored and disappointed.

January was my best reading month too. Maybe there is magic in the air then? 😁

Was already intrigued by The Family Experiment but now I kinda want to read it for our early Aeldia adventures. Also yes to shows recommendations, always looking for something to watch !! The book that probably stuck with me the most in 2024 would be Song Of Achilles (probs because I'm still not over how sad it was at times). The audiobook was quite nice, I think I may be back into my mythology era. Quite enjoying the book I'm reading now too (76 pages in but the batter is quite fun thus far) so off to a good start. Hoping for lots of good reads this year

Desperately need the tainted cup in my hands 😤

You have to read N.GALILEA's Book!!!!!!

You're so beautiful

Got more books added to my TBR now! 🤭

The measure was so good! :D

Did you crochet that blanket? Looks nice.

It feels illegal to be this early

this is sooooo cool!!!! i’m super new here (as in this video came up on my recommended) and am so excited !

Im in my game board era this year!! So doing this ❤ thank you!!!
