RECENT READS WRAP-UP // life and channel updates

[@kalilah-o7y]

So……I totally appreciate your thoughts on all of this. And to be honest I follow a lot of booktubers but only watch their wrap ups and reviews. I’m not interested in TBR’s, book hauls, etc. I love hearing about books that I may or may not want to read. Your new path for your channel is perfect. And lastly I will say that I do a lot of crafting. I do it for fun and enjoyment. There were times I did it for commission or money and the pressure and expectation of having to do something fun - really changes it. So read for fun and then tell us about the books. Glad you’re back

[@cecethompson914]

I agree with you. I mostly like wrap ups and reviews of books read.

[@JessieMaeBooks]

i'm so happy to hear that those are the videos you're most interested in anyway! i'm the same way with booktube, i only watch the wrap-ups now!

[@RociosLibrary]

Omg SAME!!!! I only like watching Wrap-Ups and reviews as well! Especially cause I follow a lot of Booktubers. I also used to upload a lot of videos and got so burnt out. The editing process is super draining. Such a great comment to read!

[@lieslherman]

Yes!! 👏 As a fellow mother of young kids, I know the value of the little free time I get, and the best thing I ever did for my mental health was stop compromising it with obligations. I'm so glad that you discovered what it is you needed, and are following that! I'm glad to see you posting again, but I know I always enjoy content the most when I can tell the creator is excited to make it, so I hope this is a positive change for you!

[@DecemberMagpie]

I agree with all of this. I'm a mother of a 7yr old and quiet time to oneself is incredibly valued and in little quantities.

[@JessieMaeBooks]

Thank you so much I so appreciate that!!

[@wilt2303]

I love this new format so much! It feels like chatting with a friend, really happy to see you being authentic and self-caring 😊

[@JessieMaeBooks]

Aw yay I’m so glad you enjoyed it!!!

[@LiteratureScienceAlliance]

Was just thinking about you the other day, so excited this is in my feed!

[@aliciaawayreading2911]

So glad to see you back, and to come back in whatever way is healthy for you and your family. It's good to take time for you and just to reprocess so you don't burn out

[@hardyworld]

Glad you were able to take a break and I'm looking forward to what you will gift us in the future. The new channel direction sound great! Quite an amazing lineup of books that were wrapped up in this episode, I'm looking forward to more of this!

[@JessieMaeBooks]

Thank you so much!!! I’m so glad you enjoyed!

[@vickilimbocker2505]

I understand you completely. Reading should be fun. I love that you’re going on your own with your reading and not getting caught up in the hype. Which is exactly what I am looking for. There are so many good books out there nice it’s to see something new and unique. Thanks so much.

[@nancyabbott2660]

I agree. Mood reading is the best! That’s all I do now! So much more enjoyable. You were very much missed Jessie but I totally understand where you are coming from. Just don’t worry about the editing…your videos are always enjoyable ! Just enjoy! Btw Charles Duckens is my favorite author of all time . Jane Austen is my second favorite. But I am a fan if ckassics lit.

[@RodgersReads]

Yaaas love you taking your joy back from reading. Fully support you on this friend!!

[@kathleenwheeler5573]

That you have any free time to read or make videos with 2 young children is amazing! I liked the format of this video, I am most interested in your thoughts on what you have read. You did a wonderful job describing Godkiller. I really enjoyed it as well and that it was a debut novel is incredible. Looking forward to your videos whenever they are posted.

[@KristinKravesBooks]

So happy you're back and in a way that makes you feel comfortable! I am looking forward to your standalone reviews!

[@JessieMaeBooks]

Yay, thank you!

[@FunFantasyBooks]

Jessie! I am so happy that you found a new, more fulfilling, way of doing booktube! Reducing the editing is also something I am trying to reduce a bit the work load involve! I wish you all the happiness 💓

[@RociosLibrary]

A lot of people who don’t do KZbin don’t realise how time-consuming it is to edit videos. I feel you so much, I have felt so burnt out. I’ve not uploaded videos in a while now because I get so crappy about editing. It’s so refreshing to know I’m not alone.

[@Sharifa466]

I don’t mind any of the changes, we just missed you 💚💚

[@katrinamonson3819]

Welcome back! Totally get the break, 2 kids and a job is a lot. I will watch what you make, when you make it! I also only make videos when it brings me and and they are rambly as well. It's just not in me to spend time editing when I have only so much time 😆 Books should make us happy, right?!

[@Dark_Militant]

it's great hearing from you again. Your decisions sound healthy and good. We all should do what makes us feel good!

[@FinallyMajor]

Hope you are well! Just wanted to thank you for introducing me to Legends of the First Empire. Seeing a video soon would be so awesome, but being a mama is first!! Take care!

[@amyschmelzer6445]

I appreciate it when people read what they feel like reading instead of reading what they feel pressured to read. I like to read a wide range of books (classics to new releases, romance to thrillers to literary fiction to sci fi, etc). It seems a bit stilted to only read only one niche simply because the algorithm has shoved you into that corner. Reading should be fun.

[@KarlieMaher3]

I'm so glad your back. I missed Watching your videos and I'm excited that your uploading again

[@jennifer_left_a_comment]

lovely to see you again, jessie! always enjoy your reviews and thoughts on books, and that certainly isn’t connected to upload frequency. also, i like the casual style and approach. i’m also really looking forward to sunbringer! have a lovely weekend + happy reading! 💜

[@BookishDrummer]

Glad you’re back!!! I had a similar break from KZbin, I was working so much I couldn’t handle work and reading AND filming, so took a much needed break. Unedited sounds good to me, it’ll be like podcast! 🎉

[@Bloomgirl_books]

I love this style of video, as opposed to the super edited, super polished videos. This is so much more real. I’m glad you took some time off for yourself! I’ve had a pretty good resting year so far. My favorite book, hands down, has been The Will of the Many by James Islington.

[@MorningDew567]

So happy to see you back and doing well. I was really worried that something bad had happened because you vanished so suddenly. But just as happy that you took time off for yourself. Self-care is important! You are one of my favorite booktubers, because you talk about books so passionately that I instantly feel like I have to pick up a book and read after watching your videos. Looking forward to more of your new way of doing videos. Anything is good :)

[@thanhmcgriff3387]

Great to hear your voice again. Your life comes first. That’s what makes your channel so good. You don’t pump out mindless content. When you do upload you have something smart to say. Every reader has slumps & it’s good to go away from it especially if you’re a booktuber so you don’t feel burned out.

[@esmayrosalyne]

So happy to see you back on here, and I am super glad that the unintentional break was such a chill time for you. You owe us nothing, so please never feel pressured to put out content just for the sake of it! I love the new casual chatty approach to the videos, no filters and editing needed 🥰 Anyway, couldn't agree more on The Poison Song and The Shadow of the Gods, those were both such bummers. But heeeck yes for Greenbone Saga!! Can't wait to hear your full thoughts in the review video, I personally loved the finale the most. Wishing you all the best Jessie, take it easy! 💕

[@RosellenBlake]

I've been looking forward to seeing you back! It's your channel and I fully support enjoying your hobby than making it a chore. I've been there so I understand how anxious it would have made you feel. My tbr list is years old I just don't look at it too much 😂

[@jessicabowers4811]

Girl we don’t care what you read or what your editing is!!! We just want you!

[@adriennereads5978]

So good to see you back! I totally relate to to not wanting reading to cause stress. It’s a big reason I quit posting on Instagram, stopped joining readathons, and quit rating books on Goodreads. I also don’t do TBRs and am trying to focus on my physical books before I get FOMO and start buying stuff or requesting all sorts of things on Libby. The struggle is real!! 😂 So glad to hear you loved Empire of Gold and Jade War. Two of my favorite series! Can’t wait to hear what you think when you finish Jade Legacy! I was so invested in the characters!!

[@boyd_bookshelf8614]

Welcome back! So happy to hear you enjoyed your break 🤍

[@kerisbookishcorner2864]

It made my day to see you had a new video! I was starting to worry you were never coming back and feeling so sad. I’m very glad though you took the break you needed for you and your family, and that now you want to make videos again! You’re truly one of probably my top two favorite booktubers and the top one my reading tastes align with so I’ve missed you so so much and happy to have you back!!! I’ll always watch whatever videos you post 😊

[@fcsolis]

We missed you too. To me the good BookTube shows are the ones that are unedited for the most part, the hosts just speak out mind, thoughts are shared in a stream of consciousness. Nice show. Thank you.

[@laurenschenck5355]

So proud of you Jessie! You are angel and incredible women and all that matters you are happy and enjoy love what you read and have fun and etc ❤️📚🌹🌹🌹📚📚🌹🌹📚❤️🌹✨📖📖✨✨🌹🌹📚📚💕❤️🌹🌹📚❤️💕📙💕📚🌹📚❤️📖✨✨🌹🌹📚💕📙📙💕📚🌹❤️✨📖📖✨✨🌹🌹❤️💕📙📙💕❤❤❤

[@AJennWhoReads]

Your videos were very inspiring To me when I was starting my Booktube. Happy to see that you're back and prioritizing your life!

[@HeatherB81]

I think the changes to your channel sound amazing!!!

[@erinkeepsgoing7123]

I love this! Much more organic and real!

[@jenreadslottie3367]

Omg what a nice surprise to see you on my feed!!

[@joanne1486]

Look after yourself and remember reading should be fun. It’s hard with young children, those were the years when I stopped reading but I have now rediscovered my love for it many years later 😊

[@kittyshiv]

Yay! so happy you are back :D everyone needs a break from time to time, glad you focused on yourself for a bit

[@cosybookswithdogs]

It was so nice to hear your life updates and candid views. Any talk about any books is interesting to me. I tend to enjoy epic fantasy but it takes forever for me to finish anything unless I listen to audio! You are amazing to manage to make any videos at all but whenever you can I am subscribed! 😊📚📖

[@JessieMaeBooks]

Thank you so so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@melissajeaninexx]

Love this!! Whatever is great for you is great for us 😊 I do enjoy TBR’s not because I care what order people Read them in or if they ever do. I use them as ideas of what similar readoers Are interested in/a way to hear of new books

[@suzannemoore404]

Welcome back, Jessie! I will love any content you make. No stress, please. Reading should always be something you enjoy!❤

[@XDAKOTA]

The video was long but it was great especially u being natural without editing...loved it

[@stephaniepasero3843]

Eeeek! So glad to see you back!!!! Love TBR's and Wrap-up 's. Love your thoughts on books and your suggestions. Hope to see more of your video's of the things you want to read-not forced books. Enjoying what you read is important.

[@Vmoose]

This is awesome! Feels like a cozy podcast

[@merreads]

Welcome back Jessie! Booktube is quite the paradox. You want to share your love of reading, but it’s easy to create pressure on yourself that takes the love away. Happy to see you back in my subscription box 🥰

[@JessieMaeBooks]

Yes absolutely!! Thank you so much!! 💕💕

[@sofiapinheiro]

I was wondering how you were and it’s nice to have an update. I totally get this and it’s great to see you prioritize your mental health and family and enjoyment of books. Hopefully this way you will be less stressed. It’s good to have you back ❤

[@joannievh2071]

I'm thrilled to see a new video from you, although sad to hear the reasons behind your absence. As a definite mood reader, I totally get why you would want to do the same thing. Reading has to be enjoyed and I hope that your new set of "rules" will help you to savour it. As per the video, I do enjoy this more casual style as it does feel like we're simply in the middle of a conversation. I sincerely hope that we'll get to see you regularly, albeit less often, and share you love of books. I also understand the pressure of reading what just came out but that has always incompatible for me as I hate hardcover and prefer massmarket paperback, which tend to come out a few years after the release! 😂 Finally, if this isn't your main income source, please treat it as a hobby- something to do when you want to and have time to. I will miss your TBR with the dice though, but only being able to get through 24 books/year, I also get why this is unsustenable long-term. Please take care and see you whenever! ❤

[@strawberrylime33]

Happy to see you! So glad u were able to have a break. I didn't like Jade War...the time jumps were jarring and the world got confusing. But Jade City is a 5 star!

[@k4hdr5]

Glad you are back! I was just digging through your videos because I couldn’t remember which Michael J Sullivan series you said to read first. After having kids, I found unhauling more books than before helped me feel less pressure and cluttered.

[@nmartin5096]

Reading is supposed to be one of the Simply Pleasures of Life?! So Happy Reading!📚💕📚 And Welcome Back!

[@Ms-Peepers-Reading-Corner]

Welcome back! I love that you are setting boundaries that work for you and the way your life is now. I really enjoy your channel, and it's so much better to keep creating on your own terms than disappear entirely. ♥ I'm also really impressed that you talk so coherently for so long without editing. 😄

[@ReadingAce]

Hi Jessie! It's so nice to see you back! I'm happy to hear you and your family are doing well. Breaks can be much needed sometimes, and the holidays are the perfect time to relax and reflect. I mainly watch booktube because I like the people rather than because of the type of content they make, so I'll be here no matter what you put out. Chatty videos are great! My favorite read of the year so far is Lone Women, I finished it this week and it was amazing! I highly recommend it if you haven't picked it up yet!

[@JessieMaeBooks]

Thank you so much!!! Ooooh I’ve heard great things about Lone Women!! You’ve got me even more intrigued!

[@laurenschenck5355]

Yay! I am so happy you loved Godkiller I love it one of my favorite books of 2023 and I felt a connection with the characters ✨📙🌹🌹💕📙📙💕🌹📙✨📚✨💕🌹❤️❤️📖📖❤️🌹💕📙✨✨✨💕🌹💕❤️📖📖❤️❤️🌹💕✨📚📚📚📙🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️📖📖📖❤️❤️🌹💕📚📚💕🌹❤️❤️❤️📖📖📖📚📚📚❤❤

[@Gigi_Alba]

So glad to see you back and that you are taking care of you. A casual approach to video is great as I prefer less edited videos. Just finished Godkiller yesterday and it’s awesome. Look forward to your next video whenever it as a patron happy just to hear your voice again.

[@JessieMaeBooks]

I’m so happy you loved Godkiller!!!!

[@millymollymrst3537]

Nice to see you back but totally understand why you've been away from booktube. You need to put you and your family first. Look forward to anything you post. Take care❤

[@BoosGaming1]

She's BACK!!!!!🥹😭

[@sophhnavarro]

Glad to have you back and that you took some time to recharge. I think the new channel plans are great and all that matters is that you enjoy it

[@Christined45]

So glad to see you❤ take a break whenever you need. We are happy however often you post. Wishing you well.

[@christeascozycorner]

welcome back jessie!!! been missing your videos 💗 totally support this new direction for your channel, whatever makes you more comfortable and continue to love reading and filming!

[@SarahAsYouWish]

Yay! So happy to see a video from you. I’m glad you decided to prioritize yourself and your needs. Not enough women and moms in particular do that, but it’s so important. Whatever style your future videos are, I’ll be enjoying them.

[@tabithamiscellania]

I was literally thinking of you last night as I was watching booktube. I always want you to take breaks when you feel you need to and this new direction seems great for you. Take care of you and we'll watch what you upload regardless ❤

[@elizabethandrus3848]

Hi Jessie, My introduction as a new BOTM member is your ranking of ones you have read. As you ranked The Martian in your FOAT category, you must read his second book, Hail Mary. It is just as much fun! Thank you for sharing your reads!

[@JessieMaeBooks]

Project Hail Mary is one of my favorites!!! It was fantastic!!!!

[@AbbySalter]

So happy you’re back! 💜

[@themidwestlibrary]

Breaks are always good, and it's so easy to be swept up into a mindset of CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT but I def feel like the new channel vibes are the best of both worlds!

[@racheldavis122]

I’ve missed your voice and am glad to see you again, and I’m glad that you took the time to rest and just be. We all need that! The Vimes group of DiscWorld books are my favorite, so I hope you enjoy them!! I don’t know what all is in that group, but I’d highly recommend Men at Arms, Feet of Clay, Thud, and Monstrous Regiment. (That last one only has a cameo of Vimes, but is so, so worth the read.) Not surprised you didn’t like the sequel to the Three Body Problem. I didn’t even like the first one much until the last chapter. And oh no about Poison Song! I convinced my library to buy that series so I could read it, and I liked the first one a lot, finally finished the second one, which I already felt was kind of a slog, though I’m still interested in how everything turns out. But I was already worried about Poison Song because the series has been going slightly downhill for me already. Sigh.

[@kaywebbharrison3373]

I missed you! So good to see you again. I believe that the adjustments you have chosen to make in your reading and channel activities are very wise ones. Are you working full-time now? If so, you need to make sure that you have enough time for your family and for adequate rest and relaxation. I would be happy with one video every week, even one every two weeks. Take care!

[@JessieMaeBooks]

Thank you so much! ❤️ yes I am working full time and I so appreciate that!

[@bri02600]

Currently reading The Combat Codes and loving it!

Love this Jessie! Glad you took care of yourself and your family and I hope you continue to enjoy what you pick up. We love just seeing what you want to read without pressure of expectations! ❤

[@naghamhossam556]

OMG! I rarely comment on youtube and only a silent viewer but I have been checking your old videos and rechecking your channel to check on you and kept praying that things work in your favour and you to have fun! So excited to see you back

[@JessieMaeBooks]

Ahhh that is so kind thank you so much for being here 🥹💕

[@sheilakae_]

I relate 💯!! Enjoy your life……

[@carriegarlock9194]

As someone who doesn't have kids I was wondering how you were doing it all. I am so happy and proud of you for taking needed time off. I am currently on doctor ordered bed rest because I was not taking time for myself. You take all the time you need. It is better to do it before you end up with the large hospital bill!

[@noelanikaanana]

Yay 🎉 was super excited to see you posted. Love the more relaxed video and all the updates (both reading and life).

[@JessieMaeBooks]

Yay, thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

[@viktoriabazyk8193]

welcome back! i also read the winnowing flame last year and for me the first half of the first book was The Best and then it kept going downhill from there bc the series turned out to be just too plot driven and dndesque for my taste. i loved hestillion's storyline tho

[@andrewf7732]

Was hoping you'd come back, but understand the need for breaks. Love your channel.

[@tmb1238]

I just came across your channel recently, and i really enjoy the selection of books you choose, and how well you summarize your thoughts on them. Take your channel in any direction you choose!

[@joalgustas6498]

Omgosh!! Welcome back!!! I’m glad you’re ok and doing well. Phew lol your hair looks amazing. Also, you do you Boo and just do what you want on here. There will always be ebbs and flows with life, maintaining a KZbin book channel is no exception. If people don’t like you needing to concentrate on yourself, then Pssh to them, to put it nicely. Welcome back and I’m happy you took a break and put yourself first. 😘

[@annmoore321]

I’m glad you’re taking the pressure off. I never saw the point of all the different videos that BookTubers seem to think are necessary. Multiple videos seem wasted talking about the same books over and over again. It’s part of what has held me back from starting my own channel. Seeing you (and several other channels) starting to break away from that is giving me courage to start… probably in a few months because I’m having a baby next month. 😅

[@Tarasreadingnook]

I love to see little bit more rambling. So sometimes too much editing can be exhausting. I'm happy to hear your family growing ❤❤. I'm horrible at posting (long story short) caput only editor that my phone likes I can just download to my phone & not just Tictok where I've been. I'm slightly better at editing since way back when I started. 😊. Reading should never feel how it was making you feel. I like the videos types your gonna start doing. It's good to see your face ❤❤

[@amyschmelzer6445]

I reread A Christmas Carol last year. I am glad to see you enjoyed it. It’s one of the easier Dickens that I have read. I watched Mickey’s Christmas Carol afterwards and was disappointed how much they had to cut to fit it into a short cartoon. I hadn’t watched it since I was a kid.

[@Christinar81]

So glad you’re back!! I missed your videos.

[@DecemberMagpie]

I'm excited to see you back, Jessie. I'm incredibly happy about the decision to change your focus from popular books to what you're looking forward to reading. Last year, you mentioned The Splinter in the Sky by Kemi Ashing-Giwa in one of your anticipated relaces. That book was my favourite read of 2023. This was the first time anyone on BookTube had mentioned that book for me. Therefore, I'm so grateful for that video and for putting different authors and titles on my radar. So far, my favourite reads of 2024 are A Sign of Affection Vol. 1-7 by suu Morishita (some of them have been re-reads.), What She Ate: Six Remarkable Women and the Food That Tells Their Stories by Laura Shapiro, Coffee: 14 Caffeinated Tales of the Fantastic by Alex Shvartsman, P.S. I Love You by Cecelia Ahern, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See, You Sexy Thing by Cat Rambo, How to Be a Good Creature: A Memoir in Thirteen Animals by Sy Montgomery, and An American Beauty by Shana Abe. I'm looking forward to sharing our reading journey more this year. 🤞It's a good one.

[@noellesnook]

I still love hearing about your "behind the scenes" vlog-like videos you use to do on Patreon! Maybe you can still update us about little things like that. Like tell me your favorite coffee drink, how old are your dogs?, what are your monthly favorites from your home (candles, mugs, blankets, what planner do you use?, and bookish items you bought...etc) Please keep updating us, it's so fun! 🥰

[@JessieMaeBooks]

Oh love that! I can absolutely include some extra little life updates in my next wrap-up! ❤️

[@tennille9dawn]

I'm so happy you've had some great reads to start off the year!

[@Freakgirl1985]

Welcome back ❤🎉 I think as long as YT is just a fun side hustle, you can always just do whatever and however you pls (concerning content, frequency of uploads etc). Just those that do it full time will have to stress themselves about views etc. I am soooooo happy you are loving the Green Bone Saga. May I say I told you so / I knew it!? 😆 Our tastes are more often alike than not, so I would have been surprised if you felt otherwise. Discworld - I have only read the Death Collection, but like 15 years ago. Totally agree with you concerning the better and more disappointing ones. I loved Hogfather and Mort, Soul Music I thought was alright but also think that Thief of Time was the weakest. I want to read the Witches Collection some time soon.

[@rnb8220]

I’ve been reading through Green Bone Saga trilogy too and I’ve been loving it. I’m nearly half through Jade Legacy and it’s amazing. Jade City and Jade War were the majority of my Fall given I was mostly reading a bit per day and on commutes, loving it every bit of the way through all the politics and controversial character judgment choices plus how the different character point of view chapters really illustrates how Janloon and the other cities featured work in relation to the power system (it’s not really a magic system, you could make a case for Sci-Fantasy) Such a top tier read.

[@LeeReads]

Sounds like you burned out. I can understand that pressure, and I'm a super small channel. But it's all supposed to be for fun! Whatever and whenever you want to post, I'm here for it. Glad you are still enjoying reading!

[@taabi23]

Hey Jessie... I missed you a lot... These 38:17 minutes passed like seconds... And please don't worry about editing and all... these raw videos feel full of true emotions. ❤️

[@JessieMaeBooks]

Aw thank you so much 🥹❤️

[@shubhangipai5362]

You’re back!!!!!! Yess. I missed your content!

[@JessieMaeBooks]

thank you so much!!!!

[@RebeccasInBookLove]

I was so excited to see an update! I’ve always loved your channel and hearing your thoughts on books. My two kids are a little older but I remember the feeling of free time being this elusive thing I rarely had (they are 2 yrs apart) so I’m happy you’re aware of what you need and took time off so you could get some of the free time back and just enjoy your family and enjoy your books! I LOVED Godkiller too - and am excited for book 2 this year! I’ve not read the Jade books but I’ve heard such amazing things that I can’t wait to get into them. ❤ My current read is the 3rd book in Sarah J. Maas’ Crescent City world (so basic I know lol😂). Hope you have a wonderful rest of your week and happy reading!

[@colettelaing1220]

I love this!! 🎉

[@giuliakenway6500]

I was thinking of you only a week ago wondering where you went! Glad you were able to take a break that was important for your well being :) Honestly, if I were a booktuber, I'd be making videos just like that because I just couldn't any other way - but also because I only read like 12 books a year 😂 it's supposed to be a hobby and not something you feel pressure about! Also I really like the rambly conversation style, so don't you worry about the editing thing. You're the first person to describe Godkiller in a way that made me really interested, the aspect with the wgite lies kinda intrigues me (as I said, I don't read that many books, so I take a lot of time deciding what I'm gonna try and what not). Maybe I'll look out for it in the library now!

[@Shellesspace]

Good for you!

[@Montie-Adkins]

Well, I like your presentation. and I shall subscribe.

[@macinnismama]

So happy to get this notification! Ive missed your videos.

[@JessieMaeBooks]

aww thank you!!

[@DallasfanTen]

SOG was the only John Gwynne book I've ever read and I did not enjoy it so I decided to dismiss his other books thinking they might be similar. But after watching this video I might have to reconsider.

[@mandyhuybregts3235]

Don't take it as pressure. But i did miss your video's ❤. And it's oke to take time for yourself and dial it down a little. Everybody needs to take time for themselves or family. As for TBR's....i choose 40 books a year to read. And at the end i think i read 5 of those and 35 others hahaha. I am a moodreader too. But i keep tryijg to stick to a stack of books. But i fail so hard 😂😂😂

[@happily_ever_april]

full time work AND 2 young kids is a lot and exhausting. I definitely couldn't do it!

[@wilt2303]

Good to see you again :)

[@hayleya.439]

I didn't like Shadow of the Gods either and didn't bother picking up Malice because I thought it would be similar 😅
