🪑 its oddly comforting to watch booktubers not based in the states because i can relate with the book inaccessibility AND the insane book pricing for english books 🥹 (as a reader from The Philippines) 🤍🤍 loved this vlog!

The Plated Prisoner series is one of my all time favs! The first book Gild is really hard to read and really dark but you gotta get through it to get our main characters backstory, but books 2, 3 and 4 are fantastic!

I will be interested in your Gild journey. I enjoyed books 1-3 but after that it took a big step down in quality and story telling. I didn’t even bother picking up book 5 that came out.

Please read the plated prisoner series. It is soo good. The first book Gild is a little hard to get through but her writing gets so much better with each book.

just read the second book of the stolen heir series and the first book of the plated prisoner series this month! i honestly liked stolen heir and prisoners throne. the character dynamics were interesting and the plot advanced quickly in my opinion. gild was good but a hard read. not much happens until much later but i understand it’s more of the back story so not much romance yet. definitely intend on continuing the series tho!

The Stolen Heir was decent! For me, it was a little slow at parts but picks up towards the middle and carries over into The Prisoner’s Throne (very similar to my experience reading Cruel Prince, a little slow but then it got more interesting in Wicked King)

Book rec I think you will enjoy if you can get hold of it. The Collected Regrets of Clover by Mikki Brammer. This book had me stolen after the first chapter that was a page and a half long. The book cover is stunning. This book in brief is about a Death Doula called Clover, she lives in NY and comes across a feisty old woman called Claudia who has one last wish… I would love to hear your thoughts on this, you really need it on your tbr xx

Becky Chambers groupie here! I just wanted to say I hope you enjoy the Monk & Robot series and if your vibing after the read please give the Wayfarer Series a try. Chambers writes wonderful multi POV character driven stories and in my opinion the embodienment of Sci-Fi Hopepunk. Thats all! 🪑💕
