    Book titles that are an automatic add to the TBR pile?

    So besides judging a book by it's cover, let's judge them by their titles too. So which book titles that caught your attention and immediately added them to your TBR without reading its synopsis? Mine are:

    Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs to Die by Greer Stothers

    I Will Kill Your Imaginary Friend for $200 by Robert Brockway

    I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I'm Trapped in a Rom-Com by Kimberly Lemming

    That Time I Got Drunk and Yeeted a Love Potion at a Werewolf, also by Kimberly Lemming (hell, basically anything by Kimberly Lemming because she know how to write a title)

    Edit: I also forgot to include this banger and very poetic title: I Gave You Eyes and You Looked Towards Darkness by Irene Sola. It sounds like someone's villain era is about to begin 😳

    Thoughts from 1%

    I’ve been wanting to read this before the winter read along. Because the vibes of the cover and title reminded me of cookie run. That cookie on the cover would probably be in some filler cutscene in crk when devsis runs out of money

    (Funny because I haven’t play any cookie run game for a while)

    Is this series worth reading?

    I had finished the Red Queen series years back and I have mixed feelings about it. I didn't like how the series was dragged out (it should have been a duology/trilogy) and I wasn't invested in the characters throughout the series as well. So has Victoria Aveyard's writing improved with this series and is it better or worse than Red Queen?

    Its been a long time since I actually enjoyed a YA book

    As someone who grew up with fairytales, I guess this is an exception since it is a retelling the classic Cinderella. BUT I really devoured this one. The simplicity, the numerous additions that just makes sense (the clever personifications of ā€˜fate’, ā€˜chance’ and ā€˜tranquill’), and the character growth of the ugly stepsister were just 🄹.

  • Have y'all tried Allurial? If so, what y'all think of it?

    I've been trying to find some good book subscription boxes as an alternative to Book of the Month. I've stumbled across Auriel, which is a romantasy book subscription box. Every month, you have a choice between 3 romantasy books of varying spice levels with sprayed pages for $14.99 plus free shipping. What do y'all think of this?

  • "milking" a series

    What are your opinions on authors "milking" a series? Tbh, for me, I don't mind it as long as it ADDS to the story. But, obviously, at some point, they just have to stop it.

    Take the Powerless Trilogy by Lauren Roberts, for example. Imo, it could've been shortened a lot more, and Fearful didn't add much to the story but unanswered questions, which were clearly for the purpose of creating move spin-offs in the series. In this case, I don't agree with adding more books to the series and I probably won't read them.

    Now, with the Inheritance Games Saga by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, it may seem like she's writing more books for nothing, but I believe that it's actually adding to the story. I loved the foreshadowing done from the very first book. Sure, it could've stayed as a trilogy, but when she continued it ADDED to the story! In this case I don't mind and I'll happily continue reading it!

    What do you guys think?

  • A Dowry of Blood (A Dowry of Blood, #1)
    Dracula crossover

    Is this like....Dracual AU 🤣?? Because to my knowledge Dracula died at the end of Bram Stoker book right? He like turned to dust? But this book goes on after that. In fact, Harker is mentioned in a little throwaway line. So what is this like an alternate timeline? It almost annoyed me a little to read that bit, because before I was just like.. ok this is maybe a retelling in a different-ish setting where that never happened.

    But because Harker and the events in "Dracula" were mentioned... it threw up so many questions šŸ˜“ Had to put the book down and go "wat?"
