I needed this video! It's so relieving to see other people with the exact same problem as me! I've managed to get my physical tbr down to 70 books but declared that I was doing the 'reading to zero challenge' and my book-buying ban lasts until I've read all of them- heartbreaking but entirely necessary.

[@small_and_dangerous2068]

I’m all for book buying, but girlie have you considered a library? 😂 Honestly you save so much money, you’re able to read the first book in a series for free (which is so nice when you don’t want to spend money on the whole series or you’re afraid you might not jive with it! Saves time and money which is always nice!), you can find a lot more than you think you can (some libraries really pop off and get all the newest stuff!), and you can also read a lot of good classic books! I’m so glad you’re living your book dreams though! It’s my personal dream to be surrounded by 119 books that I really want to read 🤣❤

[@HalJones]

LOL yeah I have an e card but it’s definitely a goal of mine this year to actually go into the library and rent physical copies more!!! This is why I need a ban bc I love shopping and I love books which = a book buying addiction HAHA it’s bad

[@Mariam-ev6lw]

Throne of the fallen is about characters from the kingdom of the wicked series, but you don’t have to read the series to read throne of the fallen. Also with the dance of thieves Duology there are 4 books in the same world (Morrighan and Kiss of deception trilogy). You don‘t need to read them before the duology but they would help on confusion throughout the books! :)

[@HalJones]

Omg thank you sm!!! 🤍🤍

[@bethgarrison2505]

I don't know if you know about this website Fantastic Fiction, but I thought I would throw it out there. You can look up an author, book, book series and it will give you the books in order. Not necessarily in "world order" but in order order within the series if that makes sense. I hope this helps. Love this video by the way. My TBR is huge 😂

[@normafromthenorth]

I'm happy i found another booktuber. Deffo up there with my faves ❤

[@HalJones]

I’m ✨honored✨🥹🫶🏼

[@RyleighRios]

Throne of the fallen is connected to the kingdom of the wicked trilogy. You'd read the trilogy first and then read throne of the fallen. Also if you want before you read six of crows you could read the shadow and bone trilogy. You don't have to but it makes it easier in terms of world building 😊

[@HalJones]

Thank you!! I had no idea six of crows was related to shadow and bone at all!!

[@ren5215]

When you are finally off your book buying ban (and if you want to explore contemporary fiction), I highly recommend The Guncle by Steven Rowley and A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman. And if you love Greek Mythology, A Thousand Ships by Natalie Haynes and Circe by Madeline Miller are some of my favorite books of all time.

[@sinamouu]

happy new years hal & congrats on 10k! i believe the book Throne of the Fallen is supposed to be read after the Kingdom of the Wicked trilogy by Kerri Maniscalco since the world expands on the world set in the Kingdom of the Wicked series. 💗

[@jess8824]

I’m so jealous that you’re just starting your sarah j maas journey. I only just finished all her current published books and I already wish I could read them for the first time again! If you didn’t already start throne of glass, I would’ve recommended for you to read all other fantasy books before you start with sarah j maas bc I haven’t been able to read another fantasy book the same after reading her books. Her writing just hits different and not a day goes by that I’m not thinking about her books, characters, and writing.

[@now_chemical]

i feel like i messed up reading her series first 😂im on acotar #4 and im so immersed.

[@jess8824]

@now_chemical oof, definitely take it slow if you can, and stay far away from any spoilers. I feel you. Only her writing can keep me immersed to the point that I forget that I'm reading. I'm too attached to her characters now. I miss them every day. 🥲

[@HalJones]

Omgg this would be SO hard though because everyone is always talking about how good her books are and I also feel like avoiding spoilers gets harder ever day HAHA

You dont necessarily have to read the kingdom of the wicked series before throne of the fallen, but i HIGHLY recommend, because the main character has his first appearance there and its even more fun to read his own story after kingdom of the wicked💝

I'm on a soft book buying ban because in the last three months I've bought probably 10 books from Waterstones, whether in store or online, and ordered Riley Sagers back catalogue of books in paperback (which is another 5, but they were second hand), and haven't had the chance to read much of my haul because I borrowed books from the library and accidentally put myself in a reading slump. Which I'm coming out by rereading The Covenant Series by Jennifer L Armentrout; young adult fantasy is a bit different from psychological thrillers. 😅

@@Taylorjadereads Fourth Wing and Addie were my favorites of the four! I loved the Dragons and high stakes of FW! I thought the dragon/war college concept was also really cool. I also liked how smart Violet was! I really liked Addie and it wasn't like anything I've ever read. I preferred the "flashback" chapters to the current time chapters. I also thought the ending was pretty good! I liked Dracula but most of it was really slow (took me the whole month of Oct to get through it). The story was good, but it could've been like ten chapters shorter. IF was a bit disappointing after how amazing FW was, I thought it kind of dropped the ball, but I'm extremely hopeful for the 3rd book! Which were your two favorites and what did you think of them? Also, what's your current read? I'm currently reading Six of Crows and absolutely loving it!

[@kittymagica6408]

The reason why Six Scorched Roses is taller than The Serpent and the Wings of night is because the series is originally self published but recently got picked up by a publisher. So far only the first book has been released in trad pub (the first book). Book 2 comes out in June, I think, and IDK about the novella. Hope that helps.

The reason the Carissa broadbent books are different is because the duology has been trad published and the novella hasn’t but is soon. Indie published books tend to be larger and much much higher quality in my opinion. I have all of her indie covers vs trad. And for the kingdom of wicked, you’re supposed to read this trilogy first then throne of the fallen is a spin off. Also, check out her stalking Jack the Ripper series, it’s phenomenal!!

I actually read Haunting Adeline the other night, in practically one sitting. It does not feel like it’s 500+ pages!

[@HalJones]

Omg really?! I just read the tw the other night and now I feel super intimidated by it lmao not at all what I expected

[@moreadsbooks7284]

for throne of the fallen you are supposed to read the kingdom of the wicked trilogy first for it to make more sense!!

[@HalJones]

Thank you!!! 🩷💕

I wouldn’t put red rising in the fantasy section. I would put it in the sci-fi section. It’s such an amazing series I totally recommend you read it. I also recommend you read the six of crows duology. It’s absolutely one of my favorite series ever. Definitely in the top five. You should also finish a good girls guide to murder series. There are two more after a good girls guide to murder and they are so good and worth it.

congrats on 10k!! 52:43 hopeless should have already been released i thought in october 2023?

[@HalJones]

I think it was but for some reason mine said it wasn’t shipping until later? I don’t mind though bc I won’t be that far into the series for a while ☺️
