"I just lacked impulse control!" Story of my life 🤣 Awesome haul!! ♥

[@HonestFiction]

Haha thank you!!!

[@lyekka71]

I really loved Fire in the Flesh. I have reread it a couple times. There are some slow parts in it, but I just loved the second half of the book.

[@MoonChildTarot8888]

I read the Fire in the Flesh and I remember enjoying it I love the whole series the war between the real mother and daughter was crazy the brother who sided with the evil mother 😮OMG I could not take my eyes off this book I did not sleep on this so I give it 4 ✨ ⭐ stars

[@MoonChildTarot8888]

And the mother jumping into the coffin of her deceased husband was shocking LOL 😂😂😂

[@MoonChildTarot8888]

This whole series is a love of mine ❤❤❤

[@BookishDaddy]

Both of those covers for the never king look so cool! Ima add it to the TBR

[@natashaguerrero9384]

Super excited to read between wrath and mercy soon :3 all of the special edition covers are so lovely! ✨

[@longfatallovechase]

Great haul ❤ The Lovely Dark is so good. Loved all the stories.

[@threeoaks2004]

I just ordered Hills- I’m super interested. Thanks for a new rec!

[@Georgia7Pap]

If you like the Scarlett St. Clair series you should know that she has a companion series. It's the same story but from Hade's pov. We get to see all of his thoughts and also where he goes when he leaves Persephone. There's more interactions with the other gods too. I think she has said that she's planing on writing books for Aphrodite and Hephaestus in the future.

[@anooshaanand3752]

You are the main reason I got back into reading💗 So grateful!

[@HonestFiction]

Ahh this makes me so happy!!!! ♥️🫶🏼🥰

[@avasromancebooks]

I’m so jealous you have The Lovely Dark!!!

[@AmandasBooktopia]

I’ve been wanting to get Lore of the Wilds but haven’t yet. The cover is stunning. And it sounds really good.

[@katieorley3173]

Shattered vows is RH and not super spicy just an FYI but I only read the first 3. Maybe it gets spicier after that I'm not sure. One day I'll finish it. I just wasn't feeling it at the time

[@BecxReadz]

I hope The Arranged Marriage is amazing

[@erinromary2796]

I feel like everyone at Apollycon lacked impulse control. 😂. I loved A Fire in the Flesh. It is slow and she does spend a lot of the book with Kolos but I enjoyed it so much. I also just saw the they are asking for influencers for Apollycon next year and I really think you should try to sign up.

[@HonestFiction]

Ahh I just saw the Apollycon post, I’m going to film a vid this week!

[@liezllovesbooks]

That Peter Pan retelling sound interesting

[@editamily2146]

Yo read fire int he flesh just read in a fast pace the first 300 pages xD in one. Just in race because is so much information that someone already now if you read the previous books. After Niktos appears again, that becomes interesting until the end, soooo emotional (that's it) and we will wait for the last book.

[@chrislee6194]

If you can't tell yet how the prequels to FBAA are going to entwine, I highly recommend you push through AFITF.... The way the stories end up entwining is so much more than one story simply happening before the next, and Primal of Blood & Bone is going to be so much EPIC because of it. There's a reason JLA is releasing the prequels in-between FBAA releases. It's detrimental to the FBAA story, in past events, and current too. As someone who knows how much you love FBAA, I know you will be missing out!

[@HonestFiction]

I’ve read all the books (prequel / FBAA) in publication order as they release (besides Fire in the Flesh lol) so I know how they intertwine, however I still feel like the story is being drawn out longer than necessary - but I love the characters so I want to try and push through Fire in the Flesh

[@chrislee6194]

@@HonestFiction I understand, and thanks for the response! I guess the point I'm trying to make is that it almost feels like the prequel will catch up with the current time in FBAA and bleed into it if you get what I'm saying? If so that's gonna be epic!!

[@onceuponabookishsteph]

Ahhh I’ve missed you! Great haul love 💕

[@HonestFiction]

OMG!!! I did a double take when I saw this comment, YAY your back!!! 🥳💕

[@justfun4kirsten]

Hello. Love your channel. I have question …which Book subscription is better to get? I finally got in with Illimincrate but still on waitlist for Fairyloot. I love the special editions. Been getting second hand books. I’m mostly YA and fantasy romance. Can you recommend any other that does special edition books. The web is alittle confusing and overwhelming. Thank you for the help

[@HonestFiction]

Arcane! They are my favorite sub box and they only do fantasy/paranormal romance! (Mystic is also really good but they are more dark romance)

[@justfun4kirsten]

Thank you!

[@ExLibris-Alys]

The Four Horsemen series by Laura Thalassa was hit and miss for me. I didn’t like the first book Pestilence, and I really, really didn’t like the third book Famine at all, but I LOVED the second book War and also really liked the last book Death. Maybe you’d like War? 😊. I’ve put Stay with Me waiting on my Kindle tbr since you mentioned it on your last video (Apollycon). I hope it won’t break my heart? ♥️

[@HonestFiction]

Haha Stay With Me might break your heart (multiple times) but it’s SO WORTH IT!!! 💞

[@ExLibris-Alys]

[@tinapolley9073]

I dread reading the blood and ash sequel but am trying to get through light in the flame so I can read soul of blood and ash! Ugh it's so boring!
