- 0:47[SPEAKER_00]: some of them I was looking at the wrong number yeah I was looking at ratings not reviews and then it like a dawned on me like something they have 20,000 ratings but may have like less than 10,000 reviews and I'm like people don't need reviews and I think last I read the wrong
- 1:07[SPEAKER_01]: I definitely read ratings, not reviews.
- 1:10[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't even know it, so they'll just be even less.

- 2:19[SPEAKER_00]: sometimes.
- 2:20[SPEAKER_00]: Because it's the author paying for the Facebook ad.
- 2:22[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that's right.
- 2:23[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 2:24[SPEAKER_01]: And so it literally does get me every time.
- 2:27[SPEAKER_00]: They do.
- 2:28[SPEAKER_00]: That's why yeah, that's how some of those not me.
- 2:30[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 2:30[SPEAKER_01]: So if you're an author, not that you're an author, not that you're an author listening to this, you know, if you happen to, you know, I thought I could listen to authors.
- 2:36[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, for example, yeah.
- 2:37[SPEAKER_01]: Facebook ads because we're just like, like,
- 2:40[SPEAKER_01]: Me, yes, so before yeah, though we get into that we're gonna talk to about recent We did about it at that time.
- 2:49[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that was better fire's come blessed up into the rest of the reads of that last I mean, are you reading okay, so I took a little break.
- 2:59[SPEAKER_00]: I started the curse of the false team.
- 3:03[SPEAKER_00]: Okay Badgin L Grey I believe is the name
- 3:09[SPEAKER_00]: origin, jins, something, gray, general, gray, maybe.
- 3:11[SPEAKER_00]: The first of the frost king, I had started it, but then I wanted to finish this VKlin book that I've talked about, and so now I'm back to it.
- 3:19[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, I have three hours, maybe, less than three hours.
- 3:23[SPEAKER_00]: It's a quick read.
- 3:25[SPEAKER_00]: But it's interesting
- 3:30[SPEAKER_00]: Her parents died, she was living with a great aunt or somebody, and her great aunt was always like, don't dig up underneath like this tree, something, something, I don't know.
- 3:40[SPEAKER_00]: She found this mirror that ended up being a portal out to a fantasy world.
- 3:44[SPEAKER_00]: I was wondering where this was going, but yeah, turns out she's faded mace with this like bad guy villain.
- 3:53[SPEAKER_00]: in the fantasy world.
- 3:54[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 3:55[SPEAKER_00]: It's been very fast paced and there you know, if it's like a short, if it's a short fantasy book, you know, you're not going to get a lot of world building.
- 4:02[SPEAKER_00]: I've just accepted that.
- 4:03[SPEAKER_00]: Like this is going to be like I just took a quick quick little breed, but I'm curious to see where it goes because like he hates her, he's like put her in a dungeon.
- 4:12[SPEAKER_00]: because he, like, no, he knows that they're mates.
- 4:15[SPEAKER_01]: And he isn't on.
- 4:16[SPEAKER_00]: And he is afraid that that relationship is going to destroy what he's been working on in his kingdom.
- 4:24[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 4:25[SPEAKER_01]: That's what we'll see.
- 4:26[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 4:26[SPEAKER_01]: I can't even see if you like that.
- 4:28[SPEAKER_00]: I am excited.
- 4:30[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I have been reading fall shook up by hyper sheldon, which I did not realize was in the cozy Creek series, which is I wrote a book last year from the cozy Creek series and did not like it.
- 4:47[SPEAKER_01]: It's the fall I want, fall I want, they were married in three leaves and that was, yeah.
- 4:52[SPEAKER_01]: But I didn't realize I was reading a book and okay.
- 4:58[SPEAKER_01]: Is this the best follow-up now?
- 5:01[SPEAKER_01]: But am I enjoying this one as opposed to the last one?
- 5:05[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I am.
- 5:06[SPEAKER_01]: If we're being honest, follow-ups are not for the death.
- 5:10[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 5:10[SPEAKER_00]: Now, you know, like it's just five hundred and seven degrees.
- 5:14[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, sub-chinberg and where we're at, we want to feel like we're in a good model, so to say.
- 5:19[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
- 5:19[SPEAKER_01]: I'm 78% out of this book.
- 5:21[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 5:22[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm enjoying it far more than one other last year.
- 5:25[SPEAKER_01]: And it's about this girl who got broken up with her boyfriend kicked her out.
- 5:31[SPEAKER_01]: She slept in her like storage unit and found the listing on mine.
- 5:40[SPEAKER_01]: for a place to stay, and it just happened the grumpy man who lives in the cabin just listed his mini-tad in behind his house.
- 5:53[SPEAKER_01]: I want to see a lot of friends, so she goes up there and pays for two months because she's trying to meet a deadline riding a paper.
- 6:00[SPEAKER_01]: And crap just hit the fan, obviously, because we're 80 percent through.
- 6:03[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
- 6:03[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm excited to see how it ends.
- 6:05[SPEAKER_01]: I hope it finishes as strong as it started.
- 6:08[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, I'm reading some things and some things I'm kind of like, you know, but also I think the characters supposed to be a little bit cringe because that's just her personality.
- 6:18[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 6:18[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
- 6:19[SPEAKER_01]: So it makes sense for this intentional.
- 6:21[SPEAKER_01]: It's intentional.
- 6:21[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 6:22[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's just who this person is.
- 6:25[SPEAKER_01]: So that's the only reason I'm not like, because it's supposed to be the only.
- 6:31[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 6:31[SPEAKER_00]: That's all.
- 6:32[SPEAKER_01]: And it's also, for less than 5,000, maybe it was, yeah, so there you go.
- 6:39[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like a lot of times that happens with these cozy, like, yeah, it will read like season or read.
- 6:43[SPEAKER_01]: Like you see that a lot with season or read, especially the ones that are, like you said, like it's five books in the series and each one is written by different authors, right?
- 6:51[SPEAKER_01]: Which is what this is.
- 6:53[SPEAKER_01]: So I think that also helps with me liking this one versus the last one.
- 6:57[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, that was one.
- 6:59[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 7:00[SPEAKER_00]: Now I'm going to get into this.
- 7:02[SPEAKER_01]: All of our not very well-known books that should be well-known.
- 7:05[SPEAKER_00]: Shame you want to earn.
- 7:06[SPEAKER_00]: I will stand by this, this book.
- 7:09[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, after that one too.
- 7:11[SPEAKER_00]: This book this day for that one darkness, I like this.
- 7:14[SPEAKER_00]: My whole idea.
- 7:15[SPEAKER_01]: We had the privilege like we only found it because we, um, like front page media assistant come host an author interview at a local book fair.
- 7:26[SPEAKER_00]: And so we read the safe darkness prior obviously to interviewing Alexis.
- 7:31[SPEAKER_00]: It is one of the best breeds ever, like such a surprising reef.
- 7:36[SPEAKER_00]: It, if you go to like the little barca, it says it's a disabled woman fights for survival after being forced into a deadly sun exposed world during an annual hunt while finding unexpected remains in uncovering societal corruption.
- 7:49[SPEAKER_00]: It has,
- 7:51[SPEAKER_00]: all of the world building that I need loved it like there's still so much that we don't know about the world building.
- 7:57[SPEAKER_00]: It has the romance that I need and it has a girl who is just like I don't care about nothing, which is like what I need to like to have a strong FMC who also is disabled who like so
- 8:16[SPEAKER_00]: it needs so much more.
- 8:17[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 8:17[SPEAKER_00]: And then it deserves more.
- 8:19[SPEAKER_00]: 934 ratings, which is not a lot of all learn.
- 8:23[SPEAKER_00]: It needs more more.
- 8:24[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 8:25[SPEAKER_01]: And especially if you like an older FMC.
- 8:27[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, she's like 30.
- 8:29[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I meant 30 something like that.
- 8:31[SPEAKER_00]: It was such a surprise.
- 8:32[SPEAKER_00]: It was so good I could not put it down.
- 8:34[SPEAKER_00]: Take that.
- 8:35[SPEAKER_00]: I can't wait for the next one.
- 8:36[SPEAKER_01]: Isn't that specific enough?
- 8:37[SPEAKER_00]: Well, it's over.
- 8:38[SPEAKER_00]: It's over.
- 8:38[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 8:41[SPEAKER_01]: I have this still coming out, not over.
- 8:42[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, no, no, no.
- 8:43[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 8:44[SPEAKER_01]: We've been injured long.
- 8:45[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we have.
- 8:46[SPEAKER_01]: It's fine.
- 8:47[SPEAKER_01]: That's fine.
- 8:47[SPEAKER_01]: Um, the next one that I would recommend is the roommate rule by Georgia Stone.
- 8:54[SPEAKER_01]: It has 2,000 ratings and 674 views.
- 8:59[SPEAKER_01]: And I went to that new book store in Asheville when our Henderson get one of those in love books for an eye.
- 9:09[SPEAKER_01]: I love that book story.
- 9:10[SPEAKER_00]: It is so cute.
- 9:11[SPEAKER_00]: I'm really jealous of him.
- 9:12[SPEAKER_01]: I know.
- 9:13[SPEAKER_01]: Well, we just happened to be apple-taking in there a few weeks ago, and it was today I'd open and random was like, we'll swing back.
- 9:18[SPEAKER_01]: The one was out the door.
- 9:21[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, dang girl.
- 9:22[SPEAKER_01]: Get it?
- 9:23[SPEAKER_01]: Because it was like three p.m. and it opened at 11.
- 9:25[SPEAKER_01]: And they would have worn it.
- 9:30[SPEAKER_01]: They had a mirror that said every read reader has a thousand loves.
- 9:35[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like,
- 9:36[SPEAKER_01]: I love that so much.
- 9:38[SPEAKER_00]: I will that on a shirt.
- 9:40[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, but anyways, I couldn't go in and all by anything.
- 9:43[SPEAKER_01]: So I just picked this one up purely based off of the cover.
- 9:46[SPEAKER_01]: I've never heard of it before.
- 9:49[SPEAKER_01]: And it was so cute.
- 9:51[SPEAKER_01]: I read it.
- 9:53[SPEAKER_01]: It's Dylan as a meticulous planner.
- 9:56[SPEAKER_01]: It's the girl's name, Dylan.
- 9:58[SPEAKER_01]: And Max, a spontaneous travel influencer,
- 10:06[SPEAKER_01]: It's like a witty banter slow bar and feel good, but also let me tell you what was not in there is a triple warning for cancer.
- 10:16[SPEAKER_01]: That was not breakfast.
- 10:18[SPEAKER_00]: So that is my only Greg with that book.
- 10:21[SPEAKER_01]: So this doesn't mean informing you.
- 10:23[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's wrong.
- 10:25[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 10:25[SPEAKER_01]: I mean it's like remission.
- 10:26[SPEAKER_01]: But like it's very on page and very present.
- 10:30[SPEAKER_00]: So okay.
- 10:32[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 10:33[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm just just to let you know.
- 10:35[SPEAKER_01]: It was not giving that from the cover.
- 10:37[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you wouldn't think that.
- 10:40[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so this is Lucy's horse sister.
- 10:44[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's royal icing by Madison score.
- 10:49[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks for that.
- 10:52[SPEAKER_00]: This is good if you love hallmark Christmas movies and you just want a quick and cheesy hallmark.
- 11:01[SPEAKER_00]: Um, it's a bakery that's a live-changing opportunity at a European castle where she falls for Prince Leah, despite the clean, strict, no-dating Americans are all like your literal typical homework.
- 11:12[SPEAKER_00]: Uh-huh.
- 11:13[SPEAKER_00]: It has 228 reviews.
- 11:15[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yes.
- 11:16[SPEAKER_00]: Super small.
- 11:17[SPEAKER_00]: But it's, it was cute read, very Christmasy.
- 11:20[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 11:20[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm.
- 11:22[SPEAKER_01]: Um, overtake by S.J.
- 11:23[SPEAKER_01]: Silbus has, which we met at a, like, book trailer to show it, Raman, or it will support the book fair.
- 11:31[SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.
- 11:31[SPEAKER_01]: We had never met an F1 racing book and so we had to pick it out.
- 11:35[SPEAKER_01]: It has 3,700 ratings and 856 reviews.
- 11:40[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
- 11:41[SPEAKER_01]: It's only a 3.9, which I would give it more than that because I liked it.
- 11:45[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, personally.
- 11:47[SPEAKER_01]: If you enjoyed and her own league, overtake delivers another determined woman breaking berries in a male dominated sport with workplace romance complications.
- 11:56[SPEAKER_01]: It's a rivals to lover dynamic, and I definitely agree with everything it just said.
- 12:02[SPEAKER_01]: Um, so formula one crew chief must work with her rival team star driver leading to an intense professional competition and unexpected romantic to Ruspin the blah blah blah and unexpected romantic tension It's spicy.
- 12:19[SPEAKER_01]: It is spicy.
- 12:19[SPEAKER_01]: It's good.
- 12:20[SPEAKER_01]: The the plot to us does not like spice It's not too spicy.
- 12:24[SPEAKER_01]: I would say a couple of little circles base off splice
- 12:30[SPEAKER_01]: when they went into the the tent and they got photographed.
- 12:34[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, but yeah, I'm out for reference.
- 12:36[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 12:36[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 12:36[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 12:37[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 12:37[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 12:37[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 12:38[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 12:39[SPEAKER_01]: So what are you talking about?
- 12:42[SPEAKER_01]: That's what I'm talking about.
- 12:44[SPEAKER_01]: and Jason exposure.
- 12:47[SPEAKER_00]: So also, I have the Kingdom of Bars and Rises.
- 12:51[SPEAKER_00]: This was a good read's find.
- 12:53[SPEAKER_00]: It only has 96 reviews.
- 12:56[SPEAKER_00]: And then the second one came out of all Prince of Secrets and Shadows and only has 25 reviews.
- 13:01[SPEAKER_00]: That's why I love this series.
- 13:03[SPEAKER_00]: It's very sleeping beauty-esque.
- 13:04[SPEAKER_00]: It's a curse princess must choose between two rival faith princes, one who can break her kingdom spell and another who captivates her heart.
- 13:12[SPEAKER_00]: and it has like an enemy solver from it, but the thing is, you don't meet the enemy to love her until the end of a go on in your life.
- 13:19[SPEAKER_00]: OMG, who is this guy?
- 13:22[SPEAKER_00]: And so I loved it.
- 13:24[SPEAKER_00]: It's a super easy read.
- 13:26[SPEAKER_00]: It's got a lot of world-building, different world-like different little kingdoms, very sleeping media, I love that.
- 13:34[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 13:35[SPEAKER_01]: I love that.
- 13:36[SPEAKER_01]: I saw.
- 13:37[SPEAKER_01]: I saw.
- 13:38[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 13:39[SPEAKER_00]: You've read it.
- 13:40[SPEAKER_01]: I did read it.
- 13:41[SPEAKER_01]: I thought I still want to read that.
- 13:42[SPEAKER_01]: But no, no, you don't really have it.
- 13:45[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 13:46[SPEAKER_01]: The trouble with loving ink by Harriet Ashford that whole series I put the series.
- 13:51[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
- 13:52[SPEAKER_01]: It's the trouble with loving ink.
- 13:54[SPEAKER_01]: The trouble with loving coaches and the trouble with loving exposure.
- 13:58[SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.
- 13:58[SPEAKER_01]: All three of them.
- 13:59[SPEAKER_01]: I think the trouble with loving ink is the most popular and it only has A hundred and thirty four ratings and two hundred and sixty four of you.
- 14:05[SPEAKER_00]: All are sleeping.
- 14:06[SPEAKER_00]: To be honest.
- 14:07[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that whole entire series to me is by far.
- 14:09[SPEAKER_00]: It's like all of them stars.
- 14:11[SPEAKER_00]: You're sleeping on them.
- 14:12[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think you've read the trouble with loving ink.
- 14:14[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't.
- 14:14[SPEAKER_01]: I skipped.
- 14:16[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you didn't skip two and three because our boy and everyone in my goals.
- 14:19[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, um, audio for yeah, Gabon.
- 14:23[SPEAKER_00]: Trevor, but like it's got a 4.5, it's so good.
- 14:28[SPEAKER_01]: The first one is a jilted office worker peds as her sister, a calligrapher, only to be blackmailed into being the fake date of her permission stealing Nemesis at a destination wedding.
- 14:38[SPEAKER_01]: See, I need to go back and read that.
- 14:40[SPEAKER_01]: I need to go back and read that because I would love that one.
- 14:43[SPEAKER_01]: It was really good.
- 14:45[SPEAKER_01]: And like I found her whenever that one had first come out.
- 14:48[SPEAKER_01]: So then naturally I was obsessed with the other
- 14:52[SPEAKER_01]: which the second one is an Iron Man triathlon, is it the second one?
- 14:56[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, an Iron Man triathlon leading to relationship that becomes more than just professional.
- 15:02[SPEAKER_01]: No, I don't know.
- 15:02[SPEAKER_01]: Nothing about Iron Man or sports, but I love the name of this.
- 15:07[SPEAKER_01]: It was so good.
- 15:09[SPEAKER_01]: And then the third one, which I think is my favorite, how low about a suspense in it.
- 15:12[SPEAKER_01]: It's so good.
- 15:14[SPEAKER_01]: And it's like birdies, a burger place hooking, gets caught by a photographer, leading to an unexpected partnership with wildlife adventures, and a budding romance.
- 15:23[SPEAKER_01]: And this is the one, one more little bit of suspense in it.
- 15:27[SPEAKER_01]: which I personally loved.
- 15:29[SPEAKER_01]: And if you, if you have read those, we didn't interview with Harriet and Gabriel, who was the voice for Gabriel.
- 15:36[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
- 15:37[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 15:37[SPEAKER_01]: So let's see, Gabriel's the voice for Gabriel.
- 15:40[SPEAKER_01]: Really, really, really.
- 15:40[SPEAKER_01]: So let's do that.
- 15:41[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I find that.
- 15:42[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, oh, yeah.
- 15:43[SPEAKER_00]: I was making sure I said that right.
- 15:45[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I was making sure I said that right.
- 15:47[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I was making sure.
- 15:47[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 15:48[SPEAKER_00]: And it's Trevor and I'm throwing.
- 15:50[SPEAKER_01]: We loved.
- 15:51[SPEAKER_00]: It was so good.
- 15:52[SPEAKER_00]: I want to give back and read the other one now.
- 15:54[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you should.
- 15:54[SPEAKER_01]: I'm having a year to be out there.
- 15:56[SPEAKER_00]: Do that, please.
- 15:56[SPEAKER_00]: I want to read it.
- 15:58[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I want to like, I bought it.
- 15:59[SPEAKER_00]: Well, no, I read.
- 16:00[SPEAKER_00]: I bought red.
- 16:01[SPEAKER_00]: I bought red love and exposure.
- 16:03[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, and did she have, because I don't know about that one?
- 16:06[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
- 16:06[SPEAKER_01]: The first one?
- 16:07[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I don't know.
- 16:08[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if she has money.
- 16:09[SPEAKER_01]: She went home.
- 16:09[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, my.
- 16:11[SPEAKER_00]: She deserves more recognition.
- 16:13[SPEAKER_00]: She does.
- 16:13[SPEAKER_00]: For real.
- 16:14[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 16:14[SPEAKER_00]: So I also have here for the cake in hard feelings, but they're by Jennifer Milliken.
- 16:19[SPEAKER_01]: What?
- 16:20[SPEAKER_00]: Love Jennifer Milliken.
- 16:21[SPEAKER_00]: This one has 2800, like 2008 to reviews on Goodreads.
- 16:27[SPEAKER_00]: But basically the first one is during her sister's destination wedding week.
- 16:31[SPEAKER_00]: Paisley strikes a fake dating deal with her college friend of me, Kwan, but starts his marketing, help evolves into genuine feelings through their encounter.
- 16:40[SPEAKER_00]: So basically, Paisley sister is getting married to her ex college boyfriend.
- 16:48[SPEAKER_00]: And they have to go to like the outer bank type situation in North Carolina for the week, and so she takes the guy that she actually didn't call it as her fake person, obviously.
- 17:00[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's so good.
- 17:01[SPEAKER_00]: I love Jennifer Milton.
- 17:04[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know her too.
- 17:04[SPEAKER_01]: I can't believe it doesn't have more.
- 17:07[SPEAKER_01]: I know.
- 17:07[SPEAKER_00]: The second one, the second one has like less to you.
- 17:10[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't read the second one though.
- 17:11[SPEAKER_00]: It's got a part of the problem.
- 17:13[SPEAKER_00]: I read the first one, but I have not read the same.
- 17:15[SPEAKER_00]: The second one just came out like the same earlier.
- 17:17[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think it was right before the summer because it was on my summer TBR and guess who never made it out for me.
- 17:24[SPEAKER_01]: me.
- 17:24[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, only in your dreams by Madison writes.
- 17:28[SPEAKER_01]: I was talking about book one earlier.
- 17:31[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.
- 17:31[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 17:32[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 17:32[SPEAKER_01]: This is book two.
- 17:34[SPEAKER_01]: It's has 2,700 ratings and 399 reviews.
- 17:39[SPEAKER_01]: It's about a woman who lies about moving on after a breakup and her brother's best friend gets wrote into the charade But as their relationship deepens, they must decide it's air willing to risk their hearts for a chance in true love This one is like second chance Related like a dull perspective, but I'm pretty positive he is also a single daddy
- 18:01[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, leave a little bit of a single gotty, but now on this fun, I really like Madison.
- 18:07[SPEAKER_01]: I've read two out of three of the books in that series and I really enjoyed both of them, so that's good though.
- 18:13[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 18:14[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so this one really shocked me, so y'all know.
- 18:18[SPEAKER_00]: King with lies, of course, of course, is currently like those are like that is a top to your series for me.
- 18:24[SPEAKER_00]: Love Stacey and Stacey Stark, I don't ever know if I'm pronouncing it correctly.
- 18:29[SPEAKER_00]: But her spinoff from the King of Oye series, this vicious stream, has literally 1,400 reviews.
- 18:38[SPEAKER_00]: But it's interesting because we who will die came out afterwards and has like way more.
- 18:46[SPEAKER_00]: It's a much more popular book.
- 18:48[SPEAKER_00]: Why?
- 18:48[SPEAKER_00]: The spin-off was and this is supposed to be a duality.
- 18:52[SPEAKER_00]: No.
- 18:52[SPEAKER_00]: I ended on Massive Clotanger and she's already about to release the second installment of We Who Will Die and Am I Girl?
- 19:01[SPEAKER_00]: If you leave me hanging?
- 19:03[SPEAKER_00]: on this fishery in light because I don't know like it might be an airplane to go back into it but like we will back out took off and it's really shocked me because this fishery stream it's it's a spinoff from a kingdom wise the world building like you don't need a lot of but mm-hmm
- 19:19[SPEAKER_00]: I don't really like, um, Medenia is like the main girl which you like kind of hate her in the people watch.
- 19:25[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you do, but I love her like she's she's like a nesta.
- 19:29[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 19:29[SPEAKER_00]: Like she like gives us honestly.
- 19:31[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 19:31[SPEAKER_01]: So it's honestly the perfect way to describe.
- 19:33[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, like you're your hater, but like the series, but now I'm curious, like am I ever going to get the second book?
- 19:41[SPEAKER_00]: Like it didn't I don't think it just I don't think it took all the way that she wanted to do.
- 19:44[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
- 19:45[SPEAKER_00]: But like her keynote voice series has tens of thousands.
- 19:50[SPEAKER_00]: That's hundreds, doesn't really.
- 19:51[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, like, it's so big.
- 19:53[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 19:54[SPEAKER_00]: And then this one, and I was like, that's so interesting.
- 19:56[SPEAKER_00]: That is because it's a, it's a spittle off.
- 19:58[SPEAKER_00]: Like, and it's all of your favorite characters that you love from this year.
- 20:02[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:02[SPEAKER_00]: So that one genuinely shocked me.
- 20:04[SPEAKER_00]: Why?
- 20:04[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I didn't know that.
- 20:06[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't been interested to see if he's the answer.
- 20:07[SPEAKER_01]: You read the third one, I read the third one.
- 20:11[SPEAKER_00]: I read the third one, I read the third one.
- 20:12[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 20:12[SPEAKER_00]: You have one more.
- 20:15[SPEAKER_00]: Then you could say you finished a fast thing.
- 20:16[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was worth it.
- 20:17[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I'm Mark and I'll end.
- 20:19[SPEAKER_01]: This one's the Love Fixers by Angela Cassella.
- 20:23[SPEAKER_01]: Now let me tell you what I remember all about this book.
- 20:26[SPEAKER_01]: Nommage.
- 20:27[SPEAKER_01]: It was from October of 2024, as well.
- 20:29[SPEAKER_01]: I read this one.
- 20:30[SPEAKER_01]: Oh crap.
- 20:31[SPEAKER_01]: But it only has three and a nine-year-of-views.
- 20:34[SPEAKER_01]: Well, 3300 ratings.
- 20:35[SPEAKER_01]: It's good.
- 20:37[SPEAKER_01]: And it has a 4.3.
- 20:38[SPEAKER_01]: So I guess that's pretty good.
- 20:40[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.
- 20:41[SPEAKER_01]: It's a woman who inherits a cabin from her estranged father and meets her new neighbor.
- 20:46[SPEAKER_01]: A man she shared a passionate kid's with,
- 20:48[SPEAKER_01]: Turbulent plane
- 20:51[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, so I think he's like a bad boy, but I also think that if I'm remembering correctly like people are intentionally keep putting them together because they think they'd work really good and I like trying to fix both of them together.
- 21:08[SPEAKER_01]: Which is like would make sense with this little, like a little image like they followed in them together.
- 21:14[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was really fun, but apparently there's four books in this series and I did not read all four of them, but I need to.
- 21:21[SPEAKER_01]: So this was the first version of my series unfortunate ones called the love contract and then just make me think it's made dating.
- 21:29[SPEAKER_00]: So I did that one kind of the old one.
- 21:34[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so I have the perfect fit back there to go more.
- 21:37[SPEAKER_00]: This has 22 hundred reviews on good reads, but it's basically a work of all like fashion CEO reunites with her ex best friends twin brother as a business consultant
- 21:51[SPEAKER_00]: She must choose between maintaining her hectic career or slowing down for love.
- 21:55[SPEAKER_00]: It's really, they have like your typical meet-cute situation, like how it begins in the book, like it's actually really cute, how they run into each other, and essentially they haven't seen each other in years, and they, obviously, she was best friends with his sister.
- 22:11[SPEAKER_00]: I love that in school.
- 22:13[SPEAKER_00]: It's really good.
- 22:18[SPEAKER_01]: It's, say you mean it by Megan ringing, the only has two hundred and fifteen reviews and five hundred ratings, which is crazy, but it's kind of crazy to this one is a city lawyer about battling depression find solace on a remote island forging an unexpected connection with the struggling lodge owner.
- 22:38[SPEAKER_01]: So I think she runs away.
- 22:40[SPEAKER_01]: from like her light life.
- 22:43[SPEAKER_01]: And you have to take a plane to get to this, like a helicopter, so it's not like a screen.
- 22:49[SPEAKER_01]: No.
- 22:50[SPEAKER_01]: It's just like a very remote island.
- 22:55[SPEAKER_01]: And he owns a lot on it that is supposed to be like a tourist destination, but it's really struggling, but because he doesn't know how to market anything.
- 23:02[SPEAKER_01]: So I think she helps him while he helps her and then like the people who work at the lodge like see what's happening.
- 23:09[SPEAKER_01]: It's kind of giving like they're pushing them to yeah.
- 23:12[SPEAKER_01]: Like be the end of these.
- 23:13[SPEAKER_00]: Like pushing them to each other.
- 23:15[SPEAKER_00]: That's really cute.
- 23:17[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 23:18[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I have one here.
- 23:20[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't read this in a long time, but it's called Blush by Jamie Brenner.
- 23:24[SPEAKER_00]: It has 1200 good reviews.
- 23:26[SPEAKER_00]: We read it for a book club.
- 23:28[SPEAKER_00]: It's not.
- 23:28[SPEAKER_00]: It is like romance, but it's also, okay.
- 23:32[SPEAKER_00]: contemporary like it's very um it's got a lot of depth to it but basically three generations of women try to say their family vineyard by reviving a book club focused on scandalous novels and discovering that stories hold peace to their own lives so you follow the lives of a grandmother a mom and a daughter okay and all of their stories are like intertwined but it's like what is happening either like in the past or in the present okay
- 24:00[SPEAKER_00]: And all of the issues with heartbreak and relationships and family, it's really, it's just like a really, it's a good read.
- 24:07[SPEAKER_00]: It's a good, like, I'm not emotional, but it has a little bit more depth to it than just like your typical small town romance.
- 24:17[SPEAKER_01]: This one right here is sent me back Leo Petramargo, but I have read the three books in this series.
- 24:25[SPEAKER_01]: It's the Delray Brothers, and obviously I follow those three brothers.
- 24:31[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, obviously.
- 24:34[SPEAKER_01]: And they're not long at all.
- 24:35[SPEAKER_01]: They're all like 350 pages in the last.
- 24:39[SPEAKER_01]: And the first one is the coffee shop worker and aspiring interior designer works with a gruff but successful developer on a product, leading to an unlikely friendship and on the fine chemistry.
- 24:49[SPEAKER_01]: Now, we're at this book in 2024.
- 24:52[SPEAKER_01]: It has three and I'm 41 degree degrees.
- 24:55[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm trying to figure out where the heck I found this book at.
- 25:03[SPEAKER_01]: scrolls growing and and I found it that's so funny but I think it's like she was a foster child and she does not have a lot and so he is that boss that like notices and like keeps giving her stuff like yeah they should as I have a car.
- 25:26[SPEAKER_01]: So she's the first one to the office every day, so he gives her a key to the office, so she's not as I'm waiting.
- 25:31[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, he ends up buying her, or overpaying her to interior design this day, so she can afford stuff.
- 25:39[SPEAKER_00]: And it's just like a key, he takes care of her type of little kitty little romance.
- 25:45[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so I have.
- 25:48[SPEAKER_00]: Jill Tinn, Bobby Caylon, I was to and lie this one.
- 25:51[SPEAKER_00]: Love it.
- 25:51[SPEAKER_00]: It only has 1,800 reviews on good reads.
- 25:54[SPEAKER_00]: But basically, a former Jill Tinn bride working at bride magazine, Clash was of the gorgeous groomsman who is non-American.
- 26:02[SPEAKER_00]: While filling in as a bride's mate, only to discover he's her boss's son and co-worker.
- 26:08[SPEAKER_00]: So they don't really get along in the beginning.
- 26:11[SPEAKER_00]: It's really good, though.
- 26:12[SPEAKER_01]: I find that this one is catching keep by Aaron Han.
- 26:19[SPEAKER_01]: It has 1,267 reviews and 4,000 ratings, but I think I requested this one on net galley back in the day when I used to do net galley.
- 26:29[SPEAKER_01]: I don't do net galley anymore, I don't talk for that.
- 26:33[SPEAKER_01]: But it is a, after turning down a proposal and inheriting a bait shop, 33 year old Maran finds unexpected romance with a resort owner and single dad just sire and Northwestern was content.
- 26:44[SPEAKER_01]: So I think that she inherited this bait shop, but like she never used it.
- 26:50[SPEAKER_01]: And like he was really close to her granddaughter on the night shop.
- 26:55[SPEAKER_01]: And so he liked it.
- 26:57[SPEAKER_01]: Time to just like,
- 26:58[SPEAKER_01]: Well, you know in here you don't have to do and but one of them has autism and don't remember Yes, I don't remember woodwind But it was really good.
- 27:09[SPEAKER_01]: I gave it five stars.
- 27:11[SPEAKER_01]: So okay.
- 27:12[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I didn't know take that as you will.
- 27:15[SPEAKER_01]: I liked it.
- 27:16[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a vibrator though, so Bye
- 27:19[SPEAKER_01]: Rator, I really need to start saying something different.
- 27:23[SPEAKER_00]: Like this happens, at least like twice every.
- 27:27[SPEAKER_00]: I need to say to every view, every view recordings.
- 27:31[SPEAKER_00]: Kaylee Vow here is saying unhinged things.
- 27:33[SPEAKER_00]: I love Rader and Bob Reader.
- 27:39[SPEAKER_01]: No, but I'm a rating.
- 27:42[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a Vow here.
- 27:45[SPEAKER_00]: That's all you were trying to say, reader.
- 27:47[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, hey, that's not how you say that word.
- 27:51[SPEAKER_01]: No.
- 27:51[SPEAKER_01]: I'm it right her.
- 27:53[SPEAKER_01]: She just sounds bad.
- 27:54[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 27:54[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, I was about to say she's just not here about writing.
- 27:57[SPEAKER_00]: But like, that's that's just his bad.
- 27:59[SPEAKER_00]: Huh?
- 28:02[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 28:03[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, move.
- 28:04[SPEAKER_00]: Please help me call up for something else.
- 28:06[SPEAKER_00]: She's a mood writer.
- 28:07[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.
- 28:07[SPEAKER_00]: It's better.
- 28:08[SPEAKER_00]: A mood writer.
- 28:10[SPEAKER_00]: We got to replace the first.
- 28:12[SPEAKER_00]: The first word.
- 28:13[SPEAKER_00]: That's what it is.
- 28:14[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, move the writer.
- 28:16[SPEAKER_00]: She's a mood writer.
- 28:17[SPEAKER_00]: That doesn't give me the same mod, so I need to- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll- I
- 28:29[SPEAKER_00]: I'll figure it out like the same way though, like if I sit on a book for too long, I don't think I'm with that correct
- 28:37[SPEAKER_00]: It's not good for when we record yes because like if it's like a book club book like oh yeah, yes, but like if I'm just reading the read Yeah, I'm probably just being like oh fast hours.
- 28:48[SPEAKER_01]: I mean in less I was bad like in less it was a real bad than I'll it's a forefathers are My average is probably a four if it was good solid and not life-changing, but it was good and I enjoyed it.
- 29:00[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, four stars for me
- 29:02[SPEAKER_01]: If I really, really liked it, and you don't go to an emotional response, I think you get five stars.
- 29:06[SPEAKER_00]: So, definitely that book has the many cry or something.
- 29:10[SPEAKER_00]: So, sure.
- 29:12[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so I have the quit list on here by Katie Bailey surprising that there were a few of those that like have less than reviews not ready but reviews again, which this one I like almost 1,800 reviews, but the ratings are probably higher.
- 29:26[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, this is why you go and review things for your authors, especially if they're just if you like the books, do like love this book.
- 29:33[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just like you loved this podcast.
- 29:36[SPEAKER_00]: So Holly sings her perfect match with help from Jax, a cynical bartender who's everything she doesn't want, a romantic comedy with chemistry and laughs.
- 29:45[SPEAKER_00]: And if you know Katy Bailey, you know she writes fantastic.
- 29:49[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, the closed door remains and she does it so well and there's a lot of tension in this one because like he like essentially closes himself off to the idea of this relationship because he thinks that it's just not a good idea so I really love that and loved the playlist that was one of the first ones
- 30:11[SPEAKER_01]: I think that might be one of the first ones I read of hers too, and I went down a rabbit hole of case day love, too, dearly.
- 30:17[SPEAKER_01]: And now I've finished the boys of 3V and that was kind of sad.
- 30:22[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, okay, read the last one.
- 30:25[SPEAKER_01]: I listen to it, and it was fabulous.
- 30:27[SPEAKER_01]: This next author, I don't know, I want to found her again.
- 30:30[SPEAKER_01]: I found her on Instagram somewhere.
- 30:33[SPEAKER_01]: but it's between the lines by Brandy Collider and then the other one is keeping the score and she has a series out that I have not read yet but she meet the characters in this series and it's a football romance which I've been wanting some football yet so I'm excited it's called the Lacy Bros and I also didn't all of them only have 50 ratings like 50 ratings
- 31:03[SPEAKER_01]: That's crazy like they're so small but this one the first book between the lines only has three hundred and thirty two ratings and keeping the score only has one hundred and thirty six ratings and they did not argue which is why I Love cheating this war and so much and it's a football coach who is like an ex football player who is injured
- 31:28[SPEAKER_01]: And between the lines is a single father, his secret leads him to an unexpected romance with a woman seeking solace in a small town as they navigate challenges.
- 31:38[SPEAKER_01]: We'll basically discover almost to the small town and she works out of a library.
- 31:42[SPEAKER_01]: And the daughter comes in and wants to read all the time, but the dad gets really like defensive about her woman to read what turns out he's never learned to read.
- 31:50[SPEAKER_01]: He faked it because he was dyslexia.
- 31:52[SPEAKER_01]: He faked it in his whole life and then gave her question.
- 31:54[SPEAKER_01]: Really.
- 31:54[SPEAKER_01]: Like sports and stuff.
- 31:56[SPEAKER_01]: And so it just passed out.
- 31:57[SPEAKER_01]: Correct.
- 31:58[SPEAKER_01]: And so she as an adult teaches him to read and I end up following him love.
- 32:02[SPEAKER_00]: And like she was so cute.
- 32:05[SPEAKER_01]: And I really genuinely, she's one of those authors.
- 32:07[SPEAKER_01]: Like I love the way she writes.
- 32:09[SPEAKER_01]: And I haven't no idea how she does not have more followers.
- 32:12[SPEAKER_01]: Or like more people have given me that stuff.
- 32:14[SPEAKER_01]: I love that.
- 32:15[SPEAKER_01]: I'm so it's like you meet the lazy rows in this series and so I'm very excited.
- 32:20[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to read more of them.
- 32:24[SPEAKER_00]: I have all here the core of Blondon by names.
- 32:28[SPEAKER_00]: It has almost 3,000 reviews, so they're raining, there's more ratings, but it's by all of that Marshall.
- 32:34[SPEAKER_00]: It is a fantasy that I don't see on the fantasy scope of things being talked about much.
- 32:38[SPEAKER_00]: But basically, Emily uses for bed and magic and is captured by Creon, a fairy assassin, who takes her to the crimson court to pose as his lover, while rebellion bruise.
- 32:49[SPEAKER_00]: Here's the thing, eight up the first one, the audio was fantastic, I got into the second
- 32:57[SPEAKER_00]: and it'll roll.
- 32:58[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't know if it was like the vibe or the mood.
- 33:00[SPEAKER_00]: Like I don't know what it does.
- 33:01[SPEAKER_00]: I like I felt like the same thing kept happening over and over again, which I really can't stand in a series of a fantasy.
- 33:09[SPEAKER_00]: It's like a standalone or in the first one.
- 33:12[SPEAKER_00]: But if it's continuously happening and it's like going like my patience for it, it's like the writing's fantastic.
- 33:18[SPEAKER_00]: I just couldn't finish the series.
- 33:19[SPEAKER_00]: But the first one, five stars, loved it.
- 33:24[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I think I found this one also on
- 33:30[SPEAKER_01]: channel for scrolling, like, the recommended for you.
- 33:33[SPEAKER_01]: But it only has 38 reviews and 98 ratings.
- 33:36[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my god.
- 33:37[SPEAKER_01]: And the other one has my interviews and 186 rating.
- 33:40[SPEAKER_01]: That's crazy.
- 33:42[SPEAKER_01]: It's by Holly with Worth.
- 33:43[SPEAKER_01]: It's over the fence and not over you.
- 33:47[SPEAKER_01]: It's a duology.
- 33:48[SPEAKER_01]: She actually has like three or four newologies.
- 33:52[SPEAKER_01]: I think I've read all of her books.
- 33:54[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 33:54[SPEAKER_01]: So,
- 33:55[SPEAKER_01]: This one is an influencer agrees to be her neighbor's fake fiancé for a company dinner, hoping to boost her social media presence, and that disastrous first date leads to unexpected romantic complications.
- 34:07[SPEAKER_01]: He hates being the public eye and she's an influencer.
- 34:11[SPEAKER_01]: And so it blows up.

- 34:16[SPEAKER_00]: I have on year we love Jillian Smith.
- 34:19[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I love her.
- 34:21[SPEAKER_00]: But I read a science field delivered, which is like a whole other series that she has.
- 34:26[SPEAKER_00]: I think I jumped in in the middle of it.
- 34:29[SPEAKER_00]: But it has 572 reviews, but basically, when Nathan's best friend asked him to read a ring to sister Kala, they're growing a top-shin and shared moments leads to a complicated situation involving anonymous online thin pals.
- 34:42[SPEAKER_00]: And it is actually like super cute how it ends with the pinball situation and I was done.
- 34:47[SPEAKER_00]: I was very like how it does this work while I was reading it, but it was super cute.
- 34:54[SPEAKER_00]: And it ended like, what is that like that I'm thinking of?
- 34:58[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure.
- 34:59[SPEAKER_00]: But it like there's a movie that it reminded me of like they didn't really know that they were talking to each other the whole time.
- 35:06[SPEAKER_00]: There's a movie.
- 35:07[SPEAKER_00]: I was just a blank

- 35:16[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I read this one love naturally by Sophie Sullivan, it has 1,170 reviews and almost 5,000 ratings, but it has a 3.5 and I don't, I can kind of read this twice because I read it first time and then forgot I read it and then you're going to begin.
- 35:35[SPEAKER_01]: There's a woman who doesn't like hiking, goes on a camping trip and meets a man who helps her enjoy the outdoors.
- 35:39[SPEAKER_01]: I think she, she gives London Tipton, you know what I mean?
