I am in such a bad reading slump, I am happy if I read ANYTHING really :D

[@jenseereads]

Oh no!! Hopefully you find something fun to read and get out of it! 📚✨

[@ravent3016]

Maybe try a novella? Or an audiobook read-along as you read a physical book?

[@whatafloridiot]

Your TBR is SOO GOOD this month!! I'm so pumped for you to read the TOG series and hear all of your thoughts!

[@jenseereads]

It's definitely an ambitious tbr 😅 lol And I'm also very excited to finally get in on the TOG hype! 😁

[@sakurahan91]

I finished ACOSF at the beginning of the month. Then I read a quick little smutty novella. And now I’m reading Barbarian Lover by Ruby Dixon which I’m ADORING!!!

[@jenseereads]

Ooo the Ice Planet Barbarians series has been on my radar for a couple of months! Good to know you've been enjoying it!

[@LibrariesandLattes]

What a great lineup, and such a fun way to change up the TBR game! I DNF’ed The Wishing Game so I’ll be curious to hear your thoughts 😆 Some books on my April TBR are Half a Soul, Crooked Kingdom, What the River Knows, The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi, and The Way of Kings! And many others hahaha

[@jenseereads]

Haha oh no! We'll see how I get on with The Wishing Game 😅 I LOVED Half A Soul, hopefully you like it as well! ☺️📚✨

[@LibrariesandLattes]

@@jenseereads haha hopefully you love it, I know a lot of people have!! And I’m so excited for Half a Soul, I have a good feeling 💚

[@chocolate.eclaire]

Unwrapping the books is so fun!! I’ve heard so much about the wishing game recently too, I’m curious about it 👀

[@jenseereads]

It was so fun! I think I might have to do it again next month 😋 I love Willy Wonka, so I'm really hoping The Wishing Game has the same vibe 🤞🏻📚✨

[@lizziejackson2529]

The Gathering Dark is, for me, phenomenal. I really enjoyed it--and this is coming from someone who used to hate short story collections. It's a real treat! Hope you enjoy

[@jenseereads]

Good to hear!! I've only read a couple short story books, but I loved them, and after reading the first story in The Gathering Dark I don't think it'll disappoint 👻📚✨

[@juliacash8135]

I’m so glad you’re gonna read red rising! It is one of my absolute favorite series I’ve ever read so far! I’m on the third book and have loved them all so far! I hope you like it! You should also read the assassins blade as close to the first one if possible if not before throne of glass becuse it has a great backstory to the main character.

[@jenseereads]

I actually got an early start on my April tbr and started Red Rising last week! I'm also on the third book and it's been SO good so far, way better than I expected! 😄📚🚀✨

[@juliacash8135]

@@jenseereads yes they are so much better than I thought they would be!

[@moonflower1616]

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that the author of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is kind of an unethical dude. It's genre is nonfiction, but he shuffled around events, put himself in scenes where he wasn't present, and apparently lied about or dramatized certain things, but then vaguely glosses over it by saying he took artistic liberties. Multiple people in the town had problems with his recounting of events, and his book might as well be like those movies that say: 'based on a true story,' which is essentially a very blurry rendition of what really happened. I couldn't finish the book personally, because I found it kind of gross that this man could casually mess with the lives of real people and make them his 'characters' without any regard for how this would affect them after. Maybe it's a personal thing, but when you say your book is nonfiction I think there is a certain expectation for ethical standards. Some of the 'characters' in the book had already died, so they couldn't have contradicted his depiction of them. It's like how lies are perpetuated when certain celebrities die, like Marilyn Monroe. Whether it's true or not no longer matters because it's almost impossible to reverse that once people start talking about it. The people he's writing about don't necessarily seem like the nicest people, but we could never really know because he's not a trustworthy narrator. Anyway, sorry for writing you a novel, but when I started reading it initially, I just got this weird feeling that some of it was too outrageous to be true, like the people were caricatures. Researching a bit and finding out he was shady really lit a fire under my ass. I don't think he should have been allowed to call that nonfiction, but I think they knew it would sell better if people thought it was totally true. It is what it is, I guess. Also, if you love the book, that's totally fine. I just thought I'd say something in case you care about that sort of thing, too.

Damn, girl, the disappointment in this video 😂😂😂 I beg of you to DNF and unhaul books you're not enjoying and not force yourself😭😭😭

[@jenseereads]

😂 to be fair 2 of the books aren't mine lol, but I agree 😅 I'm pretty good at DNFing if I'm not liking a book, but I definitely have some books from before I had really figured out what I like to read that I should probably let go of lol

[@LunabirdBookclub]

The Gathering Dark sounds amazing! Adding it to my wish list 😁 My April TBR includes Demon Copperhead, Return of the King and Words of Radiance part 2.

[@jenseereads]

Ooo I haven't heard of any of those books, I'll have to go check them out! 😊📚✨

[@SaundraMcKenzie]

Always read the one you don't want to first. Then it's over, and you may be surprised.

[@jenseereads]

Save the best for last! That's how I eat food, so it makes total sense to do that with my tbr too 😋📚✨

[@martamorrison2828]

The Wishing Game was my favorite book last year. Enjoy!

[@jenseereads]

Good to hear! It sounds really fun 😊

[@AmandasBooktopia]

Wow what a random group of books! Lol. I’m so excited you’re starting Throne of Glass. It’s my favorite series. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it!

[@jenseereads]

Very random! lol I've been reading the same type of books for weeks, so it'll be nice to switch it up 😊

[@Kittyzero13426]

My April TBR is The Final Empire, Powerless, The City of Brass, The Serpent and the Wings of Night, The Do Over, The Dead Romantics, Amari and the Great Game, and Keeper of the Lost Cities #5.

[@jenseereads]

Oooo you've got a good line up!!! 📚✨

[@Ketutar]

You chose reread of 50 Shades and The Wishing Game instead of Haunting of Hill House and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. You should trust your husband more. I do hope you won't regret when you finally get to those other books. I loved both of them. BTW, happy birthday, my birthday month twin

[@jenseereads]

Haha I'm a big mood reader and I'm just not in the mood for those two books. BUT Haunting of Hill House does sound really good and I think it'll be fun to read in the fall ☺️☕️🍂 And Happy Birthday to you too!!

[@emmahall8510]

Im midway through 4 books, im a mum of 3 special needs kids and its Easter holidays. So, not having much time to read. I hope to finish Artic Curry Club by Dani Redd and finish my Ebook The first wife by Muna Shehadi, in April. If i can read or start a new book ill be happy with that too. I definitely want to do a blind tbr, i currently have a tbr spinner. Looks like such fun.

[@jenseereads]

Ooo a tbr spinner sounds fun! I love making a game of my tbr, and picking blindly really mixed things up lol

[@emmahall8510]

@@jenseereads I got my mum to spin the spinner for me today. My next book after The Arctic Curry Club will be Gallant by V.E Schwab. It's been on my tbr for so long, so I'm excited to get to read this soon.

[@jenseereads]

​@@emmahall8510 Ahh fun!! That's a good pick! I haven't read it myself, but I think I remember that winning a Goodreads choice award at some point. I hope you love it!! ☺📚✨

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

Hipe you enjoy your reads ☕📚🦇👻
