Six Crimson Cranes was fantastic! And the prequel was really great too. Other books I suggest that you might like as a result? Song of the Six Realms and the Song of Silver, Flame like Night duology. 🥰

My favorite book in June was Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson. I was kind of like you. I read Mistborn books 1 and 2 and liked the books, but didn’t love them like everyone else does. So I went into Warbreaker with very low expectations. I was blown away! The characters, story, and ending were all so good. I highly recommend this book if you want to give Brandon Sanderson another try. And it’s a standalone which is even better. Everything was wrapped up so well.

Ok ok yes, I’ll have to try warbreaker!

A song to Drown Rivers was already high on my list of books I wanted to read as soon as it is released but you convinced me even more! I read I hope this does not find you from the same author and LOVED IT. It convinced me that I could still like YA romances and eat it up. Can't wait for A song to Drown Rivers to be released in October!

Just for the Summer was my favorite June read. I was so invested in every character and wow it was an emotional roller coaster. I loved it! Definitely understood the YA feels. Some are so good, and others are so irritating with their brash actions and thoughts.

I’m normally not a fantasy girlie at all (def more into romance, contemporary, and mysteries), but I picked up Five Broken Blades because of that beautiful cover and finished it in two days! Now I’m obsessed and want to try more fantasies. Would love any recommendations! I also just picked up Six of Crows!

Wow I have heard so many people talk about Butcher and Blackbird. I've been wanting to read it for a long time now but I've heard people say it's spicy I didn't know they meant 20 pages long spicy lol I'm scared I'm not going to like it now. Love your videos thanks for being honest about books.

I do agree with the butcher and blackbird book like i kind of dnfed that past halfway into the book. And oh wow im looking for a fantasy but not that kind of heavy plus it has dragonish vibes! so i think ill try that six crimson cranes. And oh should i tryyu other ann liang books until october??😭 I still havent tried to read books from that specific author. Like I LOVE ACOWARRRR SOOO~ Im a bit intimidated by kristin hannah's book but i would love to diversified my reads so seeing how you enjoyed reading that give me hope lol 😆

Hi Jamie! I'm just wondering, in the book "Spells of Forgetting," when the mystery of the murder is uncovered, is it a very magical and far-fetched reveal, or does it make sense in the context of what happened?

@jaimefok Ай бұрын
I read 7 romance, 6 fantasy, 2 thriller, 1 lit fic, 1 historical fiction. In the summer months, I tend to gravitate towards lighter, romance reads. There’s nothing wrong with that, and I’m not sure why it’s an issue with you either way 🤷🏻♀️
