shelf indulgence discussion

hope it's okay that I add this discussion — I needed a place to talk about this, that, and the other lol.

Have any of you read the ACOTAR series? I am seriously conflicted about picking it up. I was so excited... but I think I'm feeling a bit burnt in the fantasy department and I've read lots of reviews saying the first half is miserably slow 😩 lol Is it worth it?!

The first book is a bit slow. The second book is my favorite. I rate the entire series 3.5/5 stars. I like it but it is not something I would die on a hill on. If you think it is not for you, I wouldn’t force yourself to read in.

I haven't read the ACOTAR series yet but my friend has and she really enjoyed it

Okay, that is about what I was expecting. I think I will hold off until there I come to a point where I don't have any other books in line lol
With the show coming out and what not I've been more inclined to try it out, butttt something is just steering me away 😂

What genres are you all reading currently or do you stick mostly with romance?✨ I'm reading Six of Crows in my other book club this month and it has been great so far. I actually read the shadow and bone series last year with my husband Dave! Glad to have a reason to start the rest of it.

I mostly read YA, fantasy and romance. Also Six Of Crows is my favorite book!

I mainly read YA, murder mystery and fantasy :) Six Of Crows is my favourite book too!!

Ooo I totally forgot about murder mystery! A good girl’s guide to murder is my favorite

I had no clue how many people loved Six of Crows before I started reading it. I am invested — I have my husband Dave listening to the audiobook at work LOL

I am a romance gal through and through but I do love a good mystery/thriller. Fantasy is a hit or miss for me but it has to be included🤭

I have always liked fantasy but I believe it can depend on what reading mood you are in or which author it for others to enjoy it

^^^ I totally agree with that

it is absolutely okay that you added the discussion! we love when you guys create them! personally I really enjoyed acotar but if you are burnt out on fantasy maybe wait until it seems fun again! I think its really easy to fall in love with the characters !

Hey! I just joined this group a bit ago and I was wondering if it is required that we read the book of the month? I don't know how the groups on here work yet lol :,).

Glad someone mentioned ACOTAR as I'm tossing up whether or not to start it/if it's even my thing!

Thank you so much! I’ve been reading this month’s book and I’m in loveee! :)) I will definitely let you know if I have any more questions.

Just throwing it out there if there are any new mums (or moms haha) that want to chat books/etc etc I'm here. My son is 9 months old, and I only really have time to look after him, read and work so not a lot of time for making friends!
