This was a tough decision. I read a lot of good novels this month, so I had so many books I wanted to include. Some may need to be added of the wild card slots. We‘ll see. #fiction #ReadingBracket #BookBracket2025 #auldlangspine

•Given its length, I shouldn‘t have liked this, but I did. Sure, it had its issues, but I was entertained and intrigued, and the 20-hour audiobook flew by.
•Stella Bloom and Anthony Palmini gave great duet performances where Stella performed all the female voices and Anthony did the male ones and it was freaking fantastic.
pickI could not stop reading this. Once I started, I just kept going. This is such a twisting, messed up (in the best way) adventure. I can‘t wait for the next book to come out. I need it immediately. I don‘t know how many books are meant to be in this series, but let‘s just say I need them all. What a trip this book has been. I am so glad my best book friend recommended another winner.

I feel like this is the perfect summation of people‘s relationships to religion and deities. The devout (Everlayne), those going through the motions (Renfis), and those who are over the bs (Kingfisher).

You will not die today, Saeris! You will earn your dragon! Or maybe resurrect that dragon on the wall? Or maybe just smite a few jack🍑 royals. Either way. 🤷🏼♀️

pickQuicksilver is one book recommended to me by Booktok that lives up the hype in my opinion. The main character Saeris Fane grew on me . Kingfisher intrigued me the moment he appeared with his shadows. The secondary characters and villains are really interesting and well fleshed out. I loved the world building and the lore. 4 out of 5 ⭐️ read for me. #QuickSilver #CarinHart

TBH the FMC for the tagged book has made me set it aside for almost a week now. I should really pick it back up since it's BOTM for a #Fable group. Problem is I have minimal desire even with all the hype around it. On the other end, I am only 20 pages into Red Rabbit & I want more 😍

currently reading tagged & the FMC is making it tough for me to push forward🤞 here is to hoping she gets it together soon

pickFast paced. Some unexpected twists and turns, excited to see the evolution of plot! 4.75⭐️
pickThis book was a slow start for me. I‘m not sure if it‘s because the chapters are so long at the beginning but it took until about 60% to REALLY get into it. I can say I‘m super excited for book 2.. whenever it‘ll come out 😅😂
so-soI feel like the story itself has so much more potential.
Really hope the next part will have more detailed descriptions of the different species living in the realms and more places to discover 💫
The spice was just perfekt not to cringey and the right amount of „handling”🌶️
In the end it still had to many irrelevant actions
Maybe my expectations were just too high after all the recommendations 🙇🏻♀️
All in all it still had a hold on me
pickThis is just a rip roarer of a book — it grabs you as you begin and doesn‘t really let go again until the end. I found the story really intense and engrossing, and the characters compelling, if not always entirely likeable. The world building was maybe a little lacking, but strong enough. And the cliffhanger was NOT what I thought it would be at all, which was a nice surprise. If you like epic fantasy with a handful of smut, highly recommend.
I had a tough time picking my favorite for this month so I went for tagged because it was the most fun read. I read it slowly because I was savoring it. Way more world building and character development than most Romantasy and I really wish it had a better cover.
Tackling this chonker while I‘m on vacation — just glad I grabbed it on Kindle Unlimited and don‘t have to haul it around😅
pickThis was a delightful surprise. One of the few buzzy Romantasy books that I genuinely enjoyed. This is probably because it has actual world building, the romance is a slow burn and the steamy scenes are not cringy or over done. I really enjoyed this and look forward to more in this world. 5⭐️
#bookspinbingo!
pickThere's so many of these fantasy/romance book series out there now and a lot of them miss the mark for me. Sometimes the world building is so chaotic and filled with unusual names and words that it's just too much. The underlying themes are usually yawningly similar.
Quicksilver worked though. It did get a bit slow in the middle, but made up for it by the end. Truly enjoyed this! So many interesting things happened. I neeeed the next book now. 5⭐
pickFirst read of 2025!
This book was so good! Loved the banter and the world and the romance and also the side characters. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

so-soThere was no emotion coming off the FMC & MMC unless they were banging. Last 20% of the book is good, spice was good, but I don‘t understand Kingfisher as everyone‘s new book boyfriend; I simply cannot lust over a 1700 year old male who never learned how to communicate properly.
I‘m usually pretty lenient with the first of a series, I know we need time for worldbuilding & establishing the systems, but this wasn‘t anything too new & took forever.
I think I hate this book. I think I‘m being trolled by all the reviews of “ACOTAR Vibes” & “Kingfisher is the best book boyfriend”
Did Injust expect too much?
Will I change my mind?
pickLoved this! Romantasy at its finest and can see why people get so hyped about this. Took this photo in front of the new bookshelf my husband refurbished for me. It‘s so beautiful.

panUgh!!! I like a good first draft, this was not good, but read like a draft. Predictable. Very fanfiction-y.
She's not like the other girls. He can't stand her. But they are drawn together...
The banter was very YA (fae don't know what a ghost is, but know what Cliffs Notes are?). It's only NA or even adult Romantasy because swearing and 🌶️
I'm definitely not the target audience for this train wreck.

Organising my materials for examining (bottom right)
Finished Shopping for a Highlander (re-read)
Started Quicksilver (recommended by a friend, not sure it's for me)
so-soI have very mixed feelings about this book. I did finish it but parts were just annoying. Parts felt tired. There were a couple characters i was curious about, and a few directions of the story i was also curious about. It‘s a very ppopular fantasy romantasy on goodreads- just not one i love. #hyggehourreadathon
