Forbidden, Taboo and Banned Romance Recs

[@KatieReads]

I would love a scale for the darkness of a book. Like light to dark scale. It would help in filming videos for myself lol

[@bestiebookreviews]

Good idea!

[@therese448]

Seeing the title of this video and opening it ASAP 😊 I’ve never used a book journal but do have lists of TBR’s I make ❤

[@bestiebookreviews]

❤️❤️❤️

[@meghanhoward7245]

I have the reading journal the you ladies made and I love it. The main thing that I track separately is how I read the book for example if I own it, got it from KU, library, or mixed media. Also I track if it is a new to me author just because that is a personal goal to make sure I am reading from new authors every month.

[@bestiebookreviews]

That’s definitely something we want to add, if it’s a new to me author.

[@21loverose]

Hello, and thanks for sharing another wonderful video. I love Wild crazy taboo Romance. I hope you both enjoyed your weekend and had a nice Valentine's Day😊.

[@bestiebookreviews]

Thank you! We both had a nice, relaxing Valentine's day and weekend so far. We hope you did too! Taboo romance is my favorite!

[@MrsBurns-xy7np]

I have to find the video where you guys told the taboo prom story when you guys got to 1K lol

[@bestiebookreviews]

I think its title is something like 1k celebration. It happened around feb/march if I remember correctly.

[@pollyfischer8526]

You guys crack me up ! Love how you both keeping back the OMG giggles. Love it. Thanks for the recs😙

[@bestiebookreviews]

Ahhh, thank you!!so glad you are enjoying our videos!!

[@cynthialovesbooks]

Great video. I love the idea of a book journal but haven't actually used one yet.

[@bestiebookreviews]

I used to buy them all the time, but I never really started using them until we started our channel. Now I can’t live without them.😂

[@cynthialovesbooks]

@@bestiebookreviews I'll order yours and see if I can start using them 😂

[@tanjamoller3675]

Love that!!! Great to find you! Greetings from Germany🎉🌻🇩🇪😊

[@bestiebookreviews]

Hi!!! Welcome!! 🩷 What are you currently reading?

[@shawnacarter946]

This is my first time using a book journal. I really like it because I was able to add some things that I like in there like quotes and favorite characters.

[@bestiebookreviews]

Love this!

[@brandycantrell3261]

I've purchased a couple of book journals but have yet to use them. One day though. LOL

[@bestiebookreviews]

I had a few before we started our channel that I never used. Now, find I really I enjoy keeping track of what I read. It also helps me remember authors I want to read more of.

[@cciolkosutton9110]

I use the It's So Good - A Spicy Reading Journals and I would like a front page where you list the books summary. Also, can the My Pre-Order be in this section as well. It is in the "Trope List and Journal Companion. I use the "A Spicy Reading Journals" more as I still have problems with the trope list. Maybe do a video on how to determine the trope of the books. This my issue when I try to put it under a trope when there are several to choose from.

[@bestiebookreviews]

We are talking about making a video to show how to use the trope journal so hopefully that will be out soon. ❤️

[@lisabrijeski3425]

In my book journal I mark the books that would definitely be a re read for me!♥️

[@bestiebookreviews]

Love this💓

[@dogmom2844]

I need to read more taboo books now

[@bestiebookreviews]

Yes, it is one of the best tropes!

[@raec.9615]

I haven’t used one, but I would be interested to try. Would be nice to have a place to have a pocket slip 😳

[@bestiebookreviews]

A pocket would be really nice. I’m not sure how we would do that but I will look into it and see.

[@christinashelton9255]

Just finished Dirty Mafia King by Michele Mannon. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ terrific writing.

[@bestiebookreviews]

I’m running to my kindle!!!! ❤️

[@kristendavis7386]

I totally wish I used a book journal. I read one full length novel a day or sometimes two. I have read so many that I often forget until I purchase or borrow one and see that I've already devoured it 🤣😂 It would save me time and also I'd like to write down my feelings on the books because I will do re-reads sometimes. Anyway, that is what I'd do with one. Lol Not sure what you do with yours. Have you done a journal video? Or will you do one? Or do you just use it for reference?

[@bestiebookreviews]

We did a journal video showing them off in December but we talked about making a video showing how we use them. That will be coming soon.

[@kristendavis7386]

@@bestiebookreviews awesome 👍 will be looking forward to it!

[@jadajordon5467]

Need more taboo reads in my life.

[@bestiebookreviews]

Yes! Taboo reads is where it is at. LOL

[@MyRomanceHasNoLimits]

I use a book journal. I like to have a tracking of the n of pages, hours listened and what platform I used. So I can cancel a subscription if I don’t use it

[@bestiebookreviews]

Oooh, I like the platform idea. Thanks 😊

[@bethmccraw6718]

Lawd every time I come to y’all’s videos I spend money 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

[@bestiebookreviews]

😂 i’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.

[@myfavbookbrontejaneeyre3752]

I think for book journal it should be divided into tropes/sections.

[@bestiebookreviews]

Thanks for the suggestion😊

[@lindirhoda1532]

Ooohhhh. I wud love a book journal that separates different tropes. And I need a section for my all time favorite reads. I need to keep better record of my TBR list as well. But that's just me. On another note: Just downloaded Hale K Webster and am about to start reading it right now. 😊 Dead. Dead. Dead. All the DEADS! Lol. What did I just read. Hale was a 4 star for me 😊 only because of the unique plot. Never read something like it before. Absinthe was a 2 star unfortunately. Nearly dnf'd it, but I rarely do that so there we go. I'm STILL thinking about Hale. Pretty sure I've read worse content than that. Sicko by Amo Jones come to mind.

[@bestiebookreviews]

Thanks for the suggestion, I hope you love Hale!

[@Stainedpaiges]

I find it sad we have banned books, no one talks about the first, at least in my life book that was taboo, flowers in the attic series.

[@bestiebookreviews]

I remember watching the movie when I was in school. I never read the books but I remember a lot of girls reading them and talking about them in school.

[@Stainedpaiges]

@@bestiebookreviews lifetime did a remake of them. Very good.

[@reki4279]

omg i feel like i am being led down a rabbit hole lmao 😅

[@bestiebookreviews]

😂😂😂

[@ladyburnside1201]

I don’t mind taboo, but I have not been able to appreciate incest stories since VC Andrews 😂😂 😂😂

[@bestiebookreviews]

That was such a wild book! It was traumatizing to read as a teenager. 😳

[@allegraprince94]

lol not 13 chapters 😂😭

[@bestiebookreviews]

Hi! Just making sure you saw our video that you were the winner of the ebook Echoes of Him. This offer expires on March 8th so please message us asap at [e-mail]

[@nightowl36-s7z]

why are you guys so passive aggressive toward each other during the whole video?

[@bestiebookreviews]

🧐

[@taimartinez722]

I hate seeing mostly age gap romances under the the taboo category....like bro, incest, captive/captor and teacher and student are what I personally consider as dark...a dark romance should live u conflicted, should I root for them or should I condemn them......?thank youuu so much for these🥹💗new sub here!! Btw Forbidden is the book that got me into the forbidden romance genre😹😹I think I was 13 when I read it...and it stuck with me.... I'm also a child of a teen mom too🤧💗

[@bestiebookreviews]

Exactly, let’s actually have taboo books under taboo! If there’s an age gap fine, but it needs to be a big old age gap and there needs to be a reason why this age gap is taboo!
