I haven’t read any Sarah J Maas books, but I can relate to going back and rereading a favorite years later. Sometimes they just don’t hit the same way.

Yeah, sometimes it's best leaving old favourites alone because you can never re-create the same experience twice 😅

Evening Ellie, hope you're feeling better now. I'm so glad you put Hyperion in God tier, it really was special. I'm really looking forward to the next one.

It is good to see that most of your books were at the upper tiers. Hyperion for me was very interesting, but as I recall there is a {the first} sequel that is quite entwined. The fifth season choice of perspective threw me off a bit. Going back to reread old favorites, can sometimes feel strange and even disappointing either due to building up the hype over time or simply from having my reading taste evolve / change. Happy reading.

Hello, thanks so much for watching and commenting 💕 Hyperion is one of those books I'll think about for a long time, some of the scenes were truly shocking! Yes, the second person in Fifth Season did put me off a little at first but I got used to it and quite enjoyed how the perspectives came together at the end. I agree, my tastes have changed a lot over the years and I did find myself cringing a little while re-reading ACOTAR haha 🙈

I have been too intimidated to read Hyperion but now you have made me think that I should give it a go! Your reading year may be less than normal but you have read some great books which is way more important.

I was intimidated by Hyperion as well, but ended up really enjoying it (even if some things went over my head a little). It reads like a series of short stories, which is less scary than a whole chunky novel in my opinion. I hope you like it if you do pick it up! Do check out content warnings though, because my goodness there are some disturbing scenes 😅

Some great books mentioned. All is well my end, been very busy lately. Hope all is well with you and your husband? Take care😊

Wow, sounds like a great start to the reading year! I really hope you love Ghost Bride, it's very whimsical but also has a dark twist with the ghosts and spirit realm. I'm glad you're doing well and keeping busy. Yes, we are both good thanks for asking ❤

Hello ma'am, how are you doing? I finished reading David Sodergren's _The Haar_ some time ago. You discussed this book in one of your videos. I've read Dan Simmons' _Song of Kali_ and _The Terror._ He is a good writer. Perhaps _Hyperion_ is good too. Thank you.

Hello, I am doing well thanks for asking 😊 How did you find The Haar? I'm interested in trying more of Dan Simmons' work after reading Hyperion. I was surprised by how poetic his writing style was in that novel, considering it's a Sci-Fi. Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🥰
