One of the perks of Book Reading is not always following the crowd. While I will always appreciate suggestions, not everything is for everyone.

It's Fourth wing for me and colleen hoover

You’d hate the beginning of Cruel Prince but you might like the rest of it lol. Depends on how much you’re into fae who can’t lie but you can’t trust either.

I dnfed The Cruel Prince. I need rethink me wanting to read A Little Life now haha, I'm gonna have to do my research

I agree I will never read The Cruel Prince but I might reread the Spiderwick Chronicles

I listened to an interview with Yanagihara. Their attitude about their own work was concerning. She was totally devoid of emotion (or understanding for why someone would feel emotional) for these characters. To the point where she made fun of people crying. Very weird. On my never read pile as well!

I tried a chapter of the cruel prince and quickly DNF’ed it. I’m also not going to read a lot of these books, top of my list Mike High and Zodiac Academy

I will NEVER read A Little Life. I am curious about The Cruel Prince because the reviews I see are so polarizing! Zodiac Academy… I have it downloaded on my kindle because I enjoy torturing myself I guess.

I will ALSO never read haunting Adeline or the cruel prince 💀 two books I just know I can live without lol

I read the Cruel Prince and I wouldn’t say it’s a romance fantasy - i think a lot of readers hyperfixate on the romance part, but to me it was more political focused. 9 books?! I didn’t want to read Zodiac Academy bc it was so long, like 7 books and each book was like a few hundred pages. But 9?? Why does it need 9 books?

4:05 I think you were talking about her Doll Bones series maybe??? I never read it but I know a little girl who read it when I Worked at the Y and it looked creepy lol

I also want nothing to do with A Little Life. I've just heard enough about it and opinions about it being basically kind of problematic trauma porn... and it sounds like something I would feel similarly about and not care for.

Zodiac Acadamy: I’ve read up to halfway through book 5 (with zero plans to keep reading!!!😂💀) Book 9 is the end of the series. There are a few novellas so there are a total of 12 if you count those. The zodiac does play into the story. I personally think the story was drawn out WAY TO FUCKING LONG and the authors didn’t need to add all the things they did.

Yeah A little life was recommended to me quite a bit and I haven’t had the urge to cry yet haha

Oh, hey, me again. Here four days later. 😅

I really loved A Little Life. I sobbed while reading it and even had to take a few breaks. It’s emotional but very cathartic to cry about a fictional character’s problems rather than my own, in the sense that I’m crying and expressing emotions that aren’t directed at my own life. It’s 800 pages and the thing with really long novels like A Little Life you get attached to the characters and their backstories, and by the end you’re just rooting for the characters up until the very end… I still think about the characters and how heartbroken they were left at the end because their backstories were so intense and critical to character development. It does get graphic sometimes which is why some people don’t like it, but from the main character’s perspective, it is inevitably graphic and adds to the heartbreak in my opinion. I thought about my own life and the book spans over so many years so it was very emotional at the end

I’ll allow this list. I’m so glad there wasn’t anything that I’d have to convince you to read with me

Same on everyone of these 😂

Haha team no sobbing jk I cry a lot

The one on your list that really bothers me and I will never read is the Haunting Adeline bs. I can’t imagine going into it blind and finding that it’s Q’ANON fanfic. As someone whose family has been f’d up by that 💩… -shudders- Also I like your short form content. It suits your calm demeanor, and I love how you’re always to the point. 🫶🏻💗
