Hey all! So I’ve been wondering this for a while: are Sarah J. Maas books worth the read? I’ve seen a lot of people on here and on Booktube rave about her stuff, but with the controversy surrounding her and my pickiness with the fantasy genre, I’m not sure if I’ll actually like her books. Maybe I just have book FOMO idk 😭😭 What are yalls thoughts?

The book is LOVELY and SO much queerer than I expected from the description!! The pride is lyrical, the descriptions are lush, and the characters are lovable. 10/10 so far.

I recently have learned that a lot of libraries have to continously pay a fee for e-books and audiobooks; for example they can keep them for x-months or they have a can be lent x-times before they have to renew their license, and while I understand this from a technical standpoint - e-media can be lent indefinitely and infinitely - I still think this is insane.

Granted I am very socialistic in nature but I think that libraries should be able to get media for a smaller price than we as customers (I understand that this might suck for some authors, but readers who are willing to wait weeks, if not months for a book were less likely to buy it anyway?)

What do you think? Any librarians can confirm this? also from other countries than the US? I couldn't find anything for my local library unfortunately.

I just want to say that I've been listening to the audiobook with my husband and we've been thoroughly enjoying this book! He even said to me "this makes me want to read more books" 👀😂

There was just a reference to Lord of the Rings and I'm so tickled! This kind of satire reminds me of The Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia C Wrede and I love it so much!

I read cute romances. I don’t really care about spice level. I want the best, swooning, giggling recs!! 💗💗 (also Sarah Adams is my fav author for reference)
