I’m reading The Nightmare before Kissmas right now! I’m enjoying it so far and am looking forward to the shenanigans that will hopefully pop up soon

Swordcrossed sounds interesting, I need to finish the authors other work first though. The Seep has been on my list for ages, I really need to get it at some point. Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🐢✨️

20:00 The Seep sounds captivating. Premises like this always remind me of Captain Kirk's line in the OG Star Trek movies - I think it's the 5th movie? "I don't want you to take away my pain! I need my pain! It helps me know who I am!" His closest friend(s) then realize they've agreed to become undiscerning thralls to a charismatic leader and return to Kirk's side to share in his fate.

I have Sword Crossed on my list for this month, so glad to have your review going in!

I finally read A Power Unbound this October and really really loved it. It made me want to read the whole trilogy again because I’ve always had almost a year between reading the books but I’m also excited to get into more of Freya Marske, so I’m excited for Swordcrossed! And although I’ve never heard of it before, The Nightmare Before Kissmas sounds absolutely up my alley, I will definitely try to read that in December! The Seep also sounds really captivating, so if I get a chance I might give that a try as well. Thanks so much for the video, I appreciate the time and energy you put into making these. :)

The Seep has been on my wishlist for way too long - as have so many potentially great books. I am really excited to give Nightmare Before Kissman a read now. Sounds very fun.

I loved Swordcrossed! But I think I'll love pretty much anything Freya Marske writes! 😅 Looking forward to The Nightmare Before Kissmas! I'm doing a gift exchange with one of my in-person book groups, and I marked this book at my most wanted, so hopefully I'll get to read it in December!

Me, still behind on the book recs from last video, adding basically this whole list on as well: they can't keep getting away with this!! 😭😂🧡 also seconded on Ryan la Sala, as a twin I felt SO MUCH feelings from the Honeys and need to read everything else they've written

[@gamewrit0058]

My most recent borrows from the library are the novels Frankenstein - I haven't ever read it! - and The Honey Witch. In other reviews of Chlorine, I can't remember if readers mentioned the chronic pain aspect? That's a huge part of my invisible disabilities, but I don't think In in a headspace where i can handle all the horror and abuse aspects - oh, yeah, and the specific habits of her eating disorder are a hard stop for me. Tysm for including content notes and closed captions! I'm always excited to see you've posted. ❤️🧡💛💚💜🖤🏳️‍🌈♾️♿

29:00 Yeah, an editor should definitely have caught or at least known to look up whether two holidays are the same thing instead of near on the calendar. 🎃 I was reeeaaally uncomfortable with how much Target was pushing Day of the Dead merch this year (2024), especially as part of browsing Halloween decor.

I wanna get Beholder and Chlorine soon🙌 will note the others.
