Awesome vlog ‼️💯 I have just read Cinder and I loved that book and can’t wait to continue the series. On the other I am finishing the Never After series and Twisted Love series and i don’t mind smut but these series’ are just smut and curse words and zero plot and no character development. Like I can’t relate to any of the characters and I don’t remember why the characters are important. What is the hype with these types of books is just the smut ? I am literally running back to YA and middle grade books because atleast the characters are so much well defined.

Besides the content of your videos which I always love, I want to thank you for how accessible they are to wonky attention spans. So many youtubers these days don't even bother with subtitles, and some even put automatic subtitles as the more polished ones and they always suck!! But you take the time to either write or have someone else write them, AND the fact that you put the name of the book you're currently talking about up in the corner helps me immensely. So many times I just forget what someone is talking about halfway through, and having that little help to go back to is awesome. Keep it up! :)

There's a book by Janette Rallison called 'My Unfair Godmother' where the main characters accidentally time travel back to the medieval period and get caught up in the Rumpelstiltskin fairytale. It's been a long time since i read it, but I remember it being a very short, funny and sweet read. And there's absolutely no pregnancy depiction either. You could give it a try if you want to! It's a part of a trilogy called 'My Fair Godmother' and I enjoyed all 3 books, but they can be read as standalones too.

I listened to icebreaker on BookBeat without knowing too much about it and let’s just say that listening to the smutty scenes whilst out and about made me cringe so hard, especially because there were so many and they were quite repetitive. I wish I could have skimmed over them but because it was an audiobook I was forced to listen to every. single. word. The one positive thing is that there are two narrators so it’s always clear what character’s perspective the current chapter is in.

Would love it if you would cover some of Kate Elliott's work! My personal favorite is her _Crown of Stars_ series, but if you're not looking for a 7-book, 600-ish pages per book odyssey, might I suggest her _Crossroads_ trilogy, or her new space opera series, _The Sun Chronicles_ (still in progress)? Her _Jaran_ series is her first and also quite good where modern space meets low-tech warrior tribes; this is also where we first meet the Chapalli, where if you continue to read Kate's books, you'll see them again and again under localized names (Kapelli, etc. depending on the region of space you're visiting this time) which I think is really cool.

I apologize, but I am just going to vent a little about Gilded/Cursed. I LOVED Gilded. I was so hyped for Cursed. I then deeeeeeespised it. After reading Cursed I realized how much I overlooked in Gilded. I sped read it in like a day to avoid some emotional turmoil and I also skimmed or skipped the majority of the story that didn't take place in the castle...so I was oblivious to the pacing issues. Cursed had nothing on the other side for me to skim to though. There was so. much. book. so much stuff, and so little substance. I just skimmed till the end and was then sad. I want another Marissa Meyer book like Heartless. I feel if she had been forced to make Gilded a standalone, it would have been so much more toothsome. Heartless was agony to finish, but because I was so invested in the characters, not because I was so pissed at the writing.

Idk what your opinion on spinning silver is but it's the best retelling of rumpelstiltskin I've personally read (which is saying nothing bc it's the only retelling of it I've read lol). It's minor on the romance aspect and there's no pregnancy involved either :')

Also like there's a lot of missed potential in turning Rumpelstiltskin into a thriller/mystery fantasy type of book idk. Finding their name? The power names have in traditional fae lore? Being accused of turning straw into gold? Like a guy smuggling humans under the guise that they turn straw into gold ans there's nobody who can figure out who he is... I wish I could regurgitate my thoughts but it's a little hard to put into words wheeze

@caricanread that's fair! It gets really slow at points and the different povs sometimes didn't mesh well together until I read it a couple more times,, also the chemistry between the main couple didn't really hit until the 75% mark. But I'm a sucker for that ending lol

Hi Cari I love your channel! So glad you read Murderbot and The Raven Cycle. You might like The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stievfater too. I think it's underrated. Also, I'm from San Diego (Coronado) too✌️

Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik is a rumplestiltskin retelling that is very beloved and popular -- she changes the story a bit and kind of does her own thing with it. I would say it's inspired by the original story rather than a retelling and it focuses on the story of 3 women. I really enjoyed it and a lot of other people do to, I think you would actually really like it. You should give it a try
