[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

Great wrap up 📚🥤🧚🍨🍄🌷

[@Maccino]

The Door in the dark book sound interesting. I might add that book to my TBR.

[@jenseereads]

I bought it on a whim and it ended up being a pleasant surprise ☺️ If you end up reading it I would love to know what you think! 📖✨

[@RosaBane91]

I rated expiration dates also 3 star this month. I have assistant to v in my tbr for July!

[@jenseereads]

Ooo I hope you like Assistant!!

[@poppycalliope]

The tog series is definitely an emotional roller coaster ⚔️🔥 i have been wanting to read a fate inked in blood for months! I might wait for the second book to be released first so i can "avoid" the cliffhanger 😂

[@jenseereads]

In theory avoiding the cliffhanger made sense, but it just sitting on my nightstand unfinished -taunting me- hasn't really been any better 👀 😂 I almost caved and picked it back up last night..we'll see how long I last 🫣 lol

[@goodmornindreamer]

I didn't know that A Fate Inked in Blood ended on a cliff hanger and that it would be so long until the next book 🥲I had it on my tbr to read for this month, but now I'm wondering if I should wait

[@jenseereads]

The authors website says spring 2025 for the next book 😭 I've been loving it so much I hate to dissuade you from reading it (and ruin your tbr plans 😅)...but also if I could go back in time I would have saved it for later LOL

[@goodmornindreamer]

@@jenseereads lol no please don't worry about ruining my tbr for me. I had this struggle with another series and I had to keep rereading the books before it so I wouldn't forget the premise of the story 😭

[@jenseereads]

@@goodmornindreamer why can't our brains retain stories!? 🫠 LOL I have a series that I want to continue, but I read the first book over a year ago..and I can't remember a single thing about it. 😭I'm not a big re-reader, so who knows if it'll ever get finished 😅 Update on Inked: I ended up finishing it last night and the cliffhanger wasn't actually that bad, but the chance of forgetting the entire plot before the next book comes out is very real 🙃

[@goodmornindreamer]

@@jenseereads oh my gosh right?! i can reread certain books, but there has to be a significant amount of time that has passed since I last read it. 😅 lol oh no! I'm glad the cliffhanger wasn't as bad as you thought it would be. hopefully you don't forget too much before the next book comes out. I'm still deciding if I should keep it on my tbr for this month 😅

[@BooksWithJudy]

Now I wanna read Assistant the villain. I have it as an ebook so I could. But I am already reading two books at the same time.

[@jenseereads]

Ooo what books are you reading?? 👀

[@BooksWithJudy]

@@jenseereads the fake out and starcrossed

[@jenseereads]

@@BooksWithJudy Oh fun! I almost picked up Starcrossed the other day!! ✨

[@BooksWithJudy]

@@jenseereads Its my favorite YA Fantasy

[@jenseereads]

@@BooksWithJudy LOL oops...I think I was thinking of a different book. The one I have is a romance 😅 But now I'll have to go check out the one you're talking about, who's the author?

[@Micmezle]

I read the Chestnut Spring series, and was like wow amazing must have more, so then I went into Gold Rush not knowing that they're connected (and technically first inline) it took me awhile to realize that Violet was Violet and then I was like, hey waitaminute... and. that's the end of my really cool story. I know, I'm a really good story teller. :p Assistant to the Villain is on my peripheral tbr. my hmm maybe tbr. you know?

[@jenseereads]

Hahahaha loved your really cool story 😋 I kinda love that I read Chestnut first (even though Gold Rush is technically first), because it made Violet's book so much better. It felt like I "knew" her dad and brothers, so anytime she mentioned them I could clearly envision how they might react to something. I got more feels from it. And Assistant was a peripheral for me too! It was always something that I was like "yea maybe I'll read that one of these days" ...but then I found out it was a romance and immediately grabbed it from the library LOL It is very goofy, so I can see why someone might not like it, but I had a blast reading it 😈📖✨

[@Micmezle]

@@jenseereads yes, I absolutely agree about reading Chestnuts first, because of those very same reasons. I still haven't read the prequel to Gold Rush Ranch and part of me feels like I need to do that to feel complete, but the other part of me is like nah, I don't want to. you're making Assistant more and more enticing. hmm. perhaps if my Libby carries it...

[@jenseereads]

@@Micmezle Literally same! I almost got the prequel the other day, but decided against it. I also want to completely finish the series..but I also kind of don't care about that story 😅lol If you end up reading Assistant let me know what you think!!

[@larrythelatypus]

i was in a small slump, only casually reading some manga here and there and I picked up my first Emily Henry book, Beach Read and I'm loving it i do not read romance except for like literally once a year and it's reminding me to look for more books with pan and non-binary rep bc I want to see someone like me fall in love with the steamy love interest 🥺🏳️‍🌈(read: tall muscular woman)

[@jenseereads]

Love that you're wanting to read more romance! I live for a good romance 🥰 but I haven't read any with pan/ non-binary rep though, so I think I should expand a bit more as well ☺️

[@larrythelatypus]

@@jenseereads if I find any good recs I'll let you know 👀

[@jenseereads]

​@@larrythelatypus ✨yes please! ✨
