The Inheritance Games is the series that got me into reading too! I picked it up for a long road trip a few years ago, and it kickstarted this whole hobby for me.

[@KarlyJo]

ahhh that's awesome!!! 🥹 it's truly the perfect series for new readers or if you're in a reading slump 💘

[@KarlyJo]

[@kelseywayland770]

My most recent 5 stars - Heartless Hunter, Glow of the Everflame (although I’ve loved every book in that series), When the Moon Hatched, The Things We Leave Unfinished

[@KarlyJo]

every single one of those are on my book buying list! especially when the moon hatched, i’ve heard great things! 🩵

I seldomly go back on my goodreads and change star ratings, so I feel you on that part. Once a 5 star, it should stay a 5 star. I feel like we are different people at different points in our lives and sometimes we find those books at the right time and it clicks and we enjoy it so much, and sometimes it just doesn't work for us. Still need to read thee Naturals series, I am so excited for them but I am also a bit nervous because I tend to dislike Books that many people love dearly. Like SJM Books, I just don't get and feel them, so I am afraid with every new series and every new book that is hyped or very much liked. It feels like missing out somehow.

[@KarlyJo]

So well said!! I always try to lower my expectations when it comes to really hyped up books so I don't get let down because most of the time they don't end up living up to the hype 🫣 I hope you like the Naturals series though!!! It's very YA and the last book I didn't love but it was a really fun time and one of those easy fast paced/bingeable books and I think that's exactly what I was looking for at the time which is why it hit harder. Finding the right book that fits your mood perfectly at the right time is one of the best feelings!! 💘

[@faithi717]

ACOWAR is my favorite in the series as well! A recent 5 star read of mine is Untangle Your Emotions by Jennie Allen. Listened to the audiobook and thought it was a great take on emotions from a biblical perspective!

[@KarlyJo]

just added that one to my tbr! it sounds amazing! 🥹🫶🏼 thank you!!

[@faithsreadingthings]

Omg we really do have so many of the same favorites 😂📚🫶🏼

[@KarlyJo]

truly 🤭🤭💌

[@janiahrene]

Loved your video!🫶🏾 I’m definitely going to read A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder now. I’ve been thinking abt getting the series & I think it’s going to be a good series to break up all the romance books that I read lol

[@KarlyJo]

aw thank you 🥹💗 it’s the perfect bingeable pallete cleanser 🫶🏼

[@faithsreadingthings]

Oooo I’m going to do a little good girls guide to murder watch party when it comes out I’m so excited😭

[@KarlyJo]

YES that is going to be so fun!!!

[@tahliamartin6426]

You need to read Just For The Summer by Abby Jimenez. I hear that the whole series is great but it’s the only one I have read so far and it’s the third book.

[@KarlyJo]

I have all of her books on my shelf! I haven’t read any yet, but I really need to soon! I feel like summer will be the perfect time to read them

[@Harley24986]

I felt like I was missing something when I read Happy Place because it was so mid for me and I didn't really enjoy it and expected it to be a 5 star for me. But so far this year, my standout books were Song of Silver, Flame Like Night and the second book, Dark Star Burning, Ash Falls White. I read it in Jan and STILL can't stop thinking about it. Also, absolutely anything I've read by VE Schwab. I would read her grocery list, lol. Do you have a PO box where you accept mail?

[@KarlyJo]

I agree about Happy Place, those were my thoughts when I first read it too, and ooo those all sound amazing thank you so much for the recs! Addie LaRue was my first and only VE Schwab book so far but I really want to read more because her writing is sooo beautiful!!! I don’t have a P.o. box yet since we recently moved here, but I do have an Amazon book wishlist linked in the description! It has my address hidden but anything bought through that link (wether it’s on the list or not) should get to me, but if you wanted to send something else you can DM me on Insta @karlyjo 🩵

[@sarahpeytonreads]

Hi I loved your video 🫶🏼 Addie larue is my favorite and you are tempting me to read shatter me

[@KarlyJo]

🥹🥹🥹 read ittttt!!!!! it’s super YA and gives those classic 2012 dystopian vibes. a few of the books in the series aren’t the best but a few are THE best!! hope you like it 🩵🩵

🎉 very detailed w/out spoilers. Many of these are in my TBR too. Ty for your review. This will be an odd question- your chair I was going to buy but I have read hundreds of reviews that the seams do not hold. Do you mind messaging me if yours has been ok. Again great video. ❤

[@KarlyJo]

yayy!! 🥹🫶🏼 and it’s the Babyletto Madison Swivel chair from Target/Amazon. we’ve had it for 4 years and it’s held up through all of our moves! would definitely recommend it 😊💗

[@InsightCreationz]

Ty. 🎉 yes this is the exact model I was eyeing and reading about. I’m so glad you replied. So kind of you.

[@KarlyJo]
