Awesome wrap up. When your cat started meowing I thought there was a cat outside my yard. lol😊"Words of Radiance" tend to most people's favorite book out of all of the books that are out for Stormlight Archives. 😊 A lot more is revealed in "Oathbringer". It's so much fun.☺

Thank you! Haha yeah I kept thinking it was happening in real life while editing and my cats were hearing it too and freaking out 😂 I’m loving words of radiance, I’m definitely going to finish it today and wow, the end bit has been so intense and incredible!! Can’t wait to finish it and continue the series 😍

i was a bit disappointed by powerless too 😢 just hearing you talk about funny story makes me wanna reread it already 🥰 i've been interested in kristin hannah as an author, i've been thinking about reading The Nightingale

@LibrariesandLattes 6 ай бұрын

Glad I’m not alone with my thoughts on Powerless! Haha yes Funny Story was so good! I want to re-read Beach Read because that was the first one I read and it’s been several years now! And definitely recommend checking her out, The Nightingale is probably my favorite of hers so far 😍

The alliteration 😂 The evil witch sounds more like the one in Hansel and Gretel ^^ I really need to try Leigh Bardugo, the mix of magic and religion sounds perfect to me. You got through a lot this month! I've had a pretty slow May reading-wise, pretty good but moving slowly... Great wrapup video as always! 💜

@LibrariesandLattes 6 ай бұрын

I couldn’t deal with it any longer 😂 Oh yeah you’re so right, I didn’t think about that with the witch, haha! Yes the mix of everything in the familiar was so interesting, highly recommend. Thanks friend!! Nothing wrong with moving slow, luckily it’s not a race 😉❤️

@@LibrariesandLattes You're right! I'm trying to be kind to myself. Mostly I just want to get to all of the books, there are just so many that I want to read! If I keep going at this rate, it will take me a little over 8 YEARS to get through the ones I have saved on goodreads 😂

I tried Powerless and dnfed it pretty quickly - you aren't alone! I'm glad you loved Leigh Bardugo! I'm going to have to read that Heather Fawcett book, it sounds right up my alley. I love Anne of Green Gables

I had the EXACT same experience with The Wisteria's Society of Lady Scoundrels. I think I also got distracted quickly because there's a lot of infodumping in the first couple of chapters. Once the actual plot started, I was already quite overwhelmed by everything I think.

@LibrariesandLattes 6 ай бұрын

So glad it’s not just me!! I couldn’t really pinpoint anything I didn’t like, I just wasn’t fully connecting with it. Definitely a lot going on at the beginning… Hopefully we both can get back to it at some point but who knows, haha
