• 1:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: What's your name?
• 1:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: I literally just finished across the vanishing sky by Katherine Cowles, ate it up.
• 1:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like that is a five star audio, and she's like an auto by literally Kaylee would need to be told nothing about Katherine Cowles book and just immediately put the media away.
• 1:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I've read all the missing pieces and then the whole entire spare fall series and
• 1:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: in prayer halls.
• 1:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm a him.
• 1:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, he's the one who hacks into all the computers.
• 1:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Is he with the FBI?
• 1:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it's his friend.
• 1:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, I'm now excited to read that.
• 1:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: I love sure.
• 2:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, and then so he has to move back to his hometown and his it's him and his four brothers.
• 2:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's it.
• 2:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: Are you hitting a theme here?
• 2:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, let's see it.
• 2:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: And Catherine cows do us a solid.
• 2:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: We would love to be on our team.
• 2:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 2:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's all four brothers.
• 2:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, all five brothers, including him.
• 2:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: But it's kind of fun because you still get to me like Anson plays a part in this book.
• 2:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: You said the girl, Ridley, Ridley from all the missing pieces in this book, does
• 2:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: and then you get to meet lawman, lawman's in there too.
• 2:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then they have basically a man, lawly in there, so much than he can stop to here.
• 2:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: He bakes lawly's recipes, love.
• 2:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: So it's a good to have a lawly ever settle down.
• 2:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: No.
• 2:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm a root for y'all, y'all but it's a good time.
• 3:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: I really liked it.
• 3:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: The audio was so fun because each brother has a character like it wasn't.
• 3:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 3:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
• 3:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: So whoever is narrating that book was in this book playing the boy.
• 3:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
• 3:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it's interesting because of I'm not going to swallow anything because you have to read it on out.
• 3:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: But one brother does not talk.
• 3:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh.
• 3:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: at all because of what happened in the past.
• 3:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: He has not talked in 20 years.
• 3:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: Is it so, okay, it is still through the romance.
• 3:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: So romantic suspense.
• 3:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
• 3:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
• 3:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: And so, he signs, because he doesn't talk.
• 3:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: He texts in signs.
• 3:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I can't tell who's coming next, because it's like in the next book.
• 3:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's one of three.
• 3:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know about the fourth brother.
• 3:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know when that one's gonna come into play, but I know in my head like I'm not saying I know, but I have a feeling I know in my head who the other three are gonna end up with.
• 4:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I love that.
• 4:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, that's incredible.
• 4:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm thoroughly blown away at this book.
• 4:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: I do not like dystopian.
• 4:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's not my favorite and I only claim that because for some reason in my head, dystopian is more likely to happen than fantasy because fantasy just won't happen.
• 4:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: But there's never, say, never.
• 4:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: And so I don't like reading dystopian.
• 4:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's just like, yeah, this book is so good.
• 4:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: So good.
• 4:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it's her debut book.
• 4:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Rachel Schneider vibes.
• 4:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, like Rachel Schneider knocked it out of the park with the last singer.
• 4:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: This is on the same like I mean like the way it was written fantastic didn't skip it be the plot pacing fantastic like the yearning the yearning.
• 5:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: When I tell you it was the slowest of the burn it was not even like there was not pepper in this story but I still ate it up and the love interest was like that good.
• 5:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I really liked it was like if it's not something that we've really seen and we only read it because we're actually going to get to be on an author panel Ooh, where we can actually interview her on a like a book fair thing.
• 5:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, yeah, I'm grateful so if you're local come out But come see us.
• 5:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: We only read it because of that and now I'm like I'm telling everyone how about this book because it is like a mix.
• 5:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's more like a mix of I of handmade's tail
• 5:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.
• 5:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: Hunger Games-ish.
• 5:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Because of the way everything is set up, it's what happened.
• 5:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: Definitely not.
• 5:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: But then it turns fantasy towards the end.
• 5:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Kind of, I'm just like, wow.
• 5:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: This is she, I think, markets it as Hunger Games meets blood over bright haven, meets the
• 5:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: that part is interesting to me.
• 6:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: Which I have not finished the polluted pursue series.
• 6:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: I guess it's because she feels like she's held captive.
• 6:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's what I'm assuming.
• 6:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
• 6:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 6:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 6:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's what I'm assuming.
• 6:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe we can ask her that.
• 6:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like what?
• 6:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was what's the reason that's what I'm assuming, but it is 100% hunger games Bibles because there's tears in everything and I was thinking like handmaid's tail because of how women are perceived Like within the society And I've not like watched handmaid's tail all the way through, but that's just like
• 6:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: The whole women and men scenario, like that's how I imagined it.
• 6:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so it was, it's so good.
• 6:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: Give you like dystopian fantasy, read it.
• 6:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it's a very light fantasy.
• 6:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, like all of you, because there's like a little bit of magic.
• 6:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: Right, there's a little bit of a little bit of a little bit.
• 6:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, like a little over 300 pages.
• 6:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's not long either, but we know what is coming.
• 6:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's another book.
• 6:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: She posted and said it was an October.
• 7:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, okay.
• 7:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: It'll be two's in October and you are left on a giant like what the heck yeah Clifing here.
• 7:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 7:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so now let's get into our Let's talk yes.
• 7:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, maybe let us start with the Wendy Cindy series
• 7:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: I have recently, well recently, I was in after the first book talk, yes, and I may be binged the whole who did Wendy City series.
• 7:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: I even started a reread and I have started a reread.
• 7:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I am on.
• 7:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I finished the first four and now I need to read because did you know chronologically?
• 7:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's the first four and then in her own lake and then rewind it back.
• 7:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it's not after the first three.
• 7:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: I thought it was after the first three that it was in her only kind of first four.
• 7:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I guess because you have to know the baseball guys.
• 7:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, okay, caught up and play along and then in her only and then rewind it back.
• 7:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: So that's how I'm going to read it this time because I just finished play along.
• 7:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to read in her own link and then I'm going to read rewind it back.
• 8:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think I'm going to put, I think now that I'm just now getting into caught up, I think I'm going to read it that way, now that she has it and her only got it.
• 8:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: I would have it was out.
• 8:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: But that whole series is my star series for me.
• 8:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, fantastic.
• 8:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know why I didn't start this series sooner because I don't like, I don't like romance series.
• 8:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to tell you right now.
• 8:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're not my favorite.
• 8:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: I honestly, if every single book could be a standalone, amen.
• 8:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.
• 8:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: I would love a good stand-alone, but yeah, but and like they they make me nervous because it's always like five or six bugs And I'm like oh, go hot like ain't it's a different people which in my head.
• 8:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: That should make more sense because it's more like a stand-alone All right, but for some reason that freaks me out Red Mile high and I was like no after the next one left play a play-long more than I loved mild high or the right move the right move Sorry, I loved it more than the first one and so now I got to recall it
• 8:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: I feel like some people say skip my Ohio and go right into the other ones, but now no, I love Sanders.
• 9:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: You kind of made everybody and I love them.
• 9:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I don't love them.
• 9:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't have an issue with Sanders.
• 9:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't see the issue.
• 9:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: And there's a plus size female rep, like, I freaking love her.
• 9:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think Liz 140 does a fantastic job with that and just like, she hardly does.
• 9:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: she incorporates all those things into her books.
• 9:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: I like they're real well done.
• 9:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: It is.
• 9:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: Wendy city series is a yes.
• 9:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely yes.
• 9:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
• 9:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: He did rivalry.
• 9:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: I haven't read it.
• 9:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: I haven't read it and I don't really have a desire to read it.
• 9:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know either.
• 9:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know it's been a minute since I've read a hockey romance, right?
• 9:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: I felt like I read like eight of them and then I was just like I'm good.
• 9:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, you know, at that book fair, we're going to in Charlotte, um, Chelsea curto, I think it is, um, she's going to be on the panel and she has a whole hockey series.
• 9:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: And the first book is apparently like,
• 10:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: out of this world, Maverick Miller.
• 10:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I think she plays hockey too, which... Oh, cool.
• 10:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Cool.
• 10:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I have that downloaded on my Kindle to start next.
• 10:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
• 10:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I'm reading that before we go.
• 10:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Because I at least want to read one, like I've read one of the top 40s books.
• 10:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: And candy signers are going to be on the panel.
• 10:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: I haven't read any of that.
• 10:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: I have a level editor to whiskey.
• 10:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Haven't read that though.
• 10:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: So if that's worth it, if you think a level editor to whiskey is worth it, let us know.
• 10:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: I have absolutely no idea what it's about, but I've seen it.
• 10:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: I've seen it for a long time, but I'm assuming no.
• 10:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm assuming that's a wrong thought.
• 10:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's at a sports romance.
• 10:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: I genuinely, she has other books too, but the only one I can think of by her is a love letter to whiskey.
• 10:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: Interesting.
• 10:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't know, but I haven't read it.
• 10:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: But Chelsea Curtis books.
• 10:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's like a whole five book series, I think, of all hockey.
• 11:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: You don't have to let me know if I should read it.
• 11:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: I will.
• 11:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm very excited about it.
• 11:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Some that Y'all gave me that you didn't like was the cruel prints Which I haven't tried that.
• 11:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: I know it.
• 11:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, it's a fantasy or no.
• 11:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: It is fantasy.
• 11:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think I think I think it is too Is someone that is the white background and it has the crown on it?
• 11:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, that's the other's the book.
• 11:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's fantasy.
• 11:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: I have it.
• 11:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: I have not.
• 11:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean somewhere right but
• 11:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: I've had no interest in reading that because I've seen 70 mixed opinions on in.
• 11:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know if that's one that I want to pick up or not.
• 11:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't even know if I could tell you what it's about.
• 11:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: 10 years later, you don't know anything more than the longer you're despite her mortality, but many of the fate is by humans of fame and human, especially a prince cardin, the youngest and wicked son of the hiking.
• 11:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm doing that doesn't intrigue me right off the bat, but if you have read the crewpants and you think we should read the crewpants, tell us to read the crewpants and we will try to get before start writing over a lot of like a million ratings almost two million ratings.
• 12:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: I feel like we are late to the game, yeah, that's a lot of people and that's almost two million people.
• 12:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: So behind on that one.
• 12:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, if you think we should read that, let us know.
• 12:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Did not like bride.
• 12:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: I liked bride.
• 12:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't mind bride.
• 12:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: Mate on the other hand.
• 12:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: I did not like maids.
• 12:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: I would say that both of those are a baby for me.
• 12:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: I say, I've got a wild bride is bride is everything you want if you love twilight as a child yes, but we could have done without the wolf thing the nodding
• 12:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 12:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: She just had to say it.
• 12:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's not it.
• 12:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 12:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, see.
• 12:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: And if that's, if you don't know what that is, look it up before you read it.
• 12:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: And see if it's going to be your vibe.
• 12:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: If you are just in the market to experiment with reading, Bell means yes.
• 13:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: If you want to go in blind, I love it.
• 13:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: And you'll just figure it out when you get there.
• 13:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: I liked Brad.
• 13:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: I say yes, because it fulfilled all my twilight fantasies.
• 13:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's fine.
• 13:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's fine.
• 13:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: It is.
• 13:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: It is.
• 13:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: But the nodding did throw me off guard.
• 13:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: A little off-kilter.
• 13:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, Mate was not my cup of tea.
• 13:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think I am an omega or a skirly.
• 13:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's no.
• 13:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's below dark romance for me.
• 13:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be that for me dog.
• 13:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: Did I read it?
• 13:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
• 13:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, if you are in a mega verse reader, you would like it.
• 13:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: I feel like that was totally, probably for people who like a mega verse, but if you want to like dip your toe into a mega verse, then slowly make like what people are talking about, just read it.
• 14:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: If you're just like a curiosity killed the cat kind of girl, boy, you have just read it.
• 14:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Just I mean, just rip the bandet off and just do it.
• 14:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, Friday,
• 14:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: Mate, maybe, 10.
• 14:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to say maybe to both.
• 14:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think it gives you a lot of talking points.
• 14:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it does.
• 14:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: You're well versed in conversations with, they can be a good conversation.
• 14:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: No shortage of weird things.
• 14:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: There are a lot of things that I read in those two books that went on my list of things that I've never read.
• 14:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, absolutely.
• 14:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: I have a long list of those.
• 14:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: Definitely check the first box on this.
• 14:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, okay,
• 14:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to say maybe if you want to invest a lot of time in a series, but I really wasn't even hooked.
• 14:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't really care to know how it ends.
• 14:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: The only thing that I was interested in was the Snow Pirates, and they weren't even made that part of it, but I think I'd be interested in the man.
• 15:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think I would be interested in the new man's slate, I think it's a slate, a blade, raven, raven, or whatever anyways, yes, but I'm not interested enough to continue on series.
• 15:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: There was a lot of stuff that happened that I was like,
• 15:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: why am I reading this?
• 15:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't like what's happening to this person.
• 15:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: And the first chapter handled wild, absolutely wild.
• 15:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
• 15:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: My favorite thing is talking to people and be like, have you read gold?
• 15:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: And they're like, I stopped after the first chapter and I'm like, yeah, girl, I wish I could relate.
• 15:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: Can't wait.
• 15:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to say no to that one because I just was not a fan.
• 15:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: If you are a fan, good for you, I don't have the want or the will to continue reading that nine book series, or whatever it is.
• 15:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: The last is the only thing that I've been able to invest so much time into.
• 15:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: That was a lot to the point where I'm kind of just like turned off from series right now.
• 16:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, same.
• 16:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: I agree.
• 16:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm gonna go now and she's gonna go maybe.
• 16:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe if you want to invest If they would have put slate in there sooner, I think I would have been more invested.
• 16:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's fair.
• 16:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: I like that too.
• 16:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: That'll sling her.
• 16:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
• 16:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: You don't even need to question that.
• 16:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely, love.
• 16:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: Please God read it if you have not read already.
• 16:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.
• 16:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: That is
• 16:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: I feel like we're beer, that's with her.
• 16:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: For sure.
• 16:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: We're, we're besties.
• 16:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: That is top tier romanticity for me.
• 16:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
• 16:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: My indie copy and my new really is a copy.
• 16:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: I need to take those to get signed.
• 16:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: I know.
• 16:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: And my hard-back copy.
• 16:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm just collecting copies of Metal Slinger.
• 16:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: I have three.
• 16:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Did you see the other copy that's supposed to come out?
• 16:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's like, in South America, I'm sure it did.
• 16:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: How we get that in the United States?
• 16:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
• 16:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I want it.
• 16:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: I could buy it every copy of that book.
• 16:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: and not really get on.
• 16:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: I want it.
• 16:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: Metal slinger.
• 16:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: Some people hate the twist.
• 17:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm a fan.
• 17:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think they hate it because I didn't know what was coming.
• 17:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
• 17:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, some people are like, she just put that in there to be twisty.
• 17:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely not.
• 17:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: It makes 100% sense so quiet.
• 17:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what you're talking about.
• 17:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: We're not going to have a plot twist.
• 17:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what you're reading.
• 17:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: She bamboos a little all of us.
• 17:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: So that is what happened.
• 17:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm so sorry.
• 17:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: You got your feelings for it because you were not smart enough to figure it out, but I have to be big feelings on this and that's what happened.
• 17:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: You do not hate the, but you hate that you not bamboos or you're just insulted.
• 17:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: Come talk to me if you have an issue.
• 17:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: Who reads to figure it out anyways, could not I not hear for the vibes.
• 17:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: am I going to reread before the next one so I can see all the little plot twist she or the plot Easter eggs she gave to us absolutely listen to it because Andy was fantastic breaking love Andy like loved your voice um I want to listen to it now I will defend that book with my honor light out
• 17:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely 100% yes, I'm going to say maybe it's a yes, especially if you're trying to get in to dark romance and you want a dark rom com 10 out of 10 recommend the audio you absolutely have to listen to it because it is fantastic and Joshy Poo can do no wrong like in see I see you look at me I will say that the audiobook was really good like both audiobook
• 18:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: actors, um, more fantastic.
• 18:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's just Josh and Fred.
• 18:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: I just have a lot of questions.
• 18:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: Listen, he was a nice installer.
• 18:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Look at he took care of her.
• 18:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was more concerned.
• 18:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
• 18:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: I can go behind a lot of things.
• 18:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: This one is if you like you, then I feel like you would like this.
• 18:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Right.
• 18:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: Because they both turned crazy in the end.
• 18:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
• 18:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think I was more concerned for her.
• 18:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: His story was validated, um, hers, while she was obsessed with the guy on the out.
• 18:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then immediately was like, yeah, you're mine.
• 19:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm yours.
• 19:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: So it dreams are made up, baby.
• 19:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: You didn't see his face.
• 19:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: This is what dreams are made of.
• 19:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: She's living on a dream and guess what?
• 19:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: What is teeth were really bad.
• 19:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: She, if his abs look that good, I don't think you're looking at his teeth, my can see.
• 19:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: I am.
• 19:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: put the mask on, put the mask on.
• 19:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's crazy.
• 19:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: It could have been anybody under that mask.
• 19:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it was her ex-boyfriend, Bestie.
• 19:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: What if you had one or the time for a chronic bad bra?
• 19:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: Those are things you can fix.
• 19:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: You're all listening things that you can fix.
• 19:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: Hmm, I can fix him like in Z.
• 19:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, they're red flags.
• 19:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: You can't fix that's therapy.
• 19:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: I can fix him like in Z.
• 19:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's fine.
• 19:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: Lights out as a yes.
• 19:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going back on.
• 19:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, absolutely.
• 19:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: That was like the first touch into dark romance that I read.
• 19:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like in the summer, it's the first one you made me read you.
• 19:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm trying to say it's not in the room about to be four books deep into dark romance.
• 19:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: Here we'll go.
• 19:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: with a diagram I'm walking in here.
• 19:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: Welcome, um, anathema was a heck now for me.
• 20:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: I never read it.
• 20:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: I read the first chapter in DNA.
• 20:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
• 20:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's the one.
• 20:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, it's the one where they were like sacrificing a baby.
• 20:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, oh, pass.
• 20:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: That is a, and I know it is so popular.
• 20:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: I know it's so popular.
• 20:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: Is it really?
• 20:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, it's everywhere.
• 20:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: I love that journey for you if you could, but I could not.
• 20:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: Apparently it's it's just like a slower-paced gothic fantasy.
• 20:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: And not a life of gothic fantasy that just should have been a trigger warning that was more of a
• 20:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: because then I would have never picked it up.
• 20:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, a drip or so.
• 20:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, just look up the trigger warnings.
• 20:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: If you have that on your TBR, I don't recommend.
• 20:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: Brimstone, that's a whole trigger warning.
• 20:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's enough for me, dog.
• 20:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: Pass.
• 20:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: Pass on that and I know we're in the minority with that maybe I don't know I don't think it got a lot of like okay Let me change.
• 21:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: I will say maybe if you plan on continuing it on in the series you kind of have to read it I'm just trying to decide if I want to it could I've been an email that serious it could have been an email signed King Fisher's real name.
• 21:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah
• 21:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: whatever the heck it was because I don't remember now.
• 21:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: When I was going for you, it was not that.
• 21:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't that bad.
• 21:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: But that's how insignificant it was.
• 21:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm still a King Fisher Hater for those wondering.
• 21:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: I sort of like, like, um, more of a bermstone hater.
• 21:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it just didn't give what I wanted it to give.
• 21:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't really love Quicksilver either.
• 21:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know that I will be continuing on the series.
• 21:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's just one of those things where I don't feel like investing all my time into this 600 page book.
• 21:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: If I didn't even like it.
• 21:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: Do you know what I'm trying to think about right now?
• 21:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: What the heck happened to that book?
• 21:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like the whole time I'm like way, nothing literally, nothing happened.
• 22:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: And they did that.
• 22:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was just like nothing with Carrie and is what they did on his part.
• 22:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: There was like, yeah, like a book, I like the book, blue, with the little bird.
• 22:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that's the only part we really liked about it was there was like these little birds that were pieces of the book and when she finally figured out they like went together and some like Harry Potter thing and created a book.
• 22:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: They were like pages of the book turned into like little origami birds that were flying around, which that's really cool.
• 22:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: Hmm, but why did it take her four chapters to figure out the last piece of the book was in her pocket?
• 22:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was in her pocket.
• 22:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: She's the queen of like the whole entire vampire kingdom and she can't figure out the piece of papers in her pocket.
• 22:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Be so for real.
• 22:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Anyways, I did not enjoy that.
• 22:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: Be so for real.
• 22:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Because of her.
• 22:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: I did not enjoy that book.
• 22:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that's all I'm gonna say.
• 22:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no.
• 22:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: That is enough for me.
• 22:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, did you see, sorry.
• 22:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: Did you see this?
• 22:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: She has another book come out.
• 22:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
• 22:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: What the heck?
• 22:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I don't even really want to read it.
• 23:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm curious because it had like a skyline behind it.
• 23:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: So it's.
• 23:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: I saw that it came out maybe.
• 23:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna have to look it up and see what it's about time.
• 23:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: Do we think a star romance?
• 23:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: She looks like she would dabble in them.
• 23:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
• 23:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.
• 23:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: Told you Dark Remark.
• 23:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Dark Remark.
• 23:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna call it.
• 23:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm good.
• 23:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: I call it.
• 23:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't like the mint she writes.
• 23:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: Seth Zeth Zeth in Zeth employer.
• 23:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: First off, absolutely not.
• 23:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: Your name is
• 23:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: Employer decides buying and selling kidnapped women is a lucrative sideline.
• 23:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, really.
• 23:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's a dark-rimand series that contains explicit content, heavy themes, intended for mature audiences.
• 23:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: This book contains, bear with me, graphic violence, human trafficking, murder, psychological abuse, coercion,
• 23:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, Cali, that's wild.
• 23:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: One, I don't like the way you write men.
• 24:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: Two, nothing.
• 24:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's crazy.
• 24:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to respect for someone said, check your trigger one name.
• 24:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: This is very dark romance.
• 24:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: Nothing like Quicksilver.
• 24:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: The book dives straight into darkness and the spice from the very beginning.
• 24:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's intense, morally gray, and definitely not for everyone, but somehow I completely pulled me in.
• 24:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: Nothing.
• 24:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: interest.
• 24:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: And yes, there's a lot of spice like chapter one spicy.
• 24:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: God, that's crazy.
• 24:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I'm not going to read it.
• 24:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: But wow.
• 24:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 24:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's a lot.
• 24:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: While we're on the topic of books that piss us off and we hated.
• 24:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Here is.
• 24:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.
• 24:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: I would go as far me personally.
• 24:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: And a McKinsey does not agree.
• 24:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: As to not even recommend the whole series.
• 24:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: I, officially, like, I don't even like the whole series now.
• 24:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: I truly loved power lists in reckless, truly loved because I even predicted the ending to reckless and I loved it.
• 25:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'd still reread the first two, but I didn't like the third one.
• 25:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Fearless isn't no good for me.
• 25:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: I feel as pissed me off in a, to where I don't even recommend the whole star stage anymore.
• 25:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Someone asked me the other day if they should read it and I was like, nope, I don't like the way it ends.
• 25:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: I remember that.
• 25:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: Nope.
• 25:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: I sure don't think you just saw about it in the second book and just make up your own story about what happens.
• 25:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: You don't probably like it better than what actually does happen.
• 25:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
• 25:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, to know for me, then yeah, to know for me dog.
• 25:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: Say you swear, 100%.
• 25:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 25:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: McKinsey got me on that train.
• 25:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: So love it.
• 25:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Love it.
• 25:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Love it.
• 25:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Megan Brandy.
• 25:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I say it sometimes like binding 13 is not it's not I mean that's what pushed me all for so long.
• 25:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then we write it for like a book club and listen to it.
• 25:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Ella Riley is that man.
• 25:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: That man is that man.
• 25:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, yes, Aaron college or early college.
• 25:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: We're going to forget that actually he's a senior.
• 25:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: It didn't feel like it though.
• 26:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, I just like feel weird something else sometimes.
• 26:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 26:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: I just look past it.
• 26:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: That is not my main age god, girlie.
• 26:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, but.
• 26:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: But she wanted to spread the language.
• 26:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm talking about me thinking that Noah Riley has talked to her.
• 26:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: We're talking about when he's in a dog swing now.
• 26:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: He still needs that man.
• 26:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, yes, he's still going to be that man.
• 26:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's so good.
• 26:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: He does have a love triangle, which I think if I had a known going into it, I would not have read it.
• 26:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then I got to listening to it and I was like, wait, what?
• 26:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: I text McKinsey.
• 26:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: I said, you tell me who she ends up with or else I'm googling it.
• 26:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Because I'm not finishing this book unless you tell me.
• 26:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, no, no, no.
• 26:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was like, I just stick with it.
• 26:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was kind of looking to whether you didn't tell me or not.
• 26:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was obsessed with Noah Riley.
• 26:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: There is a forgotten.
• 26:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's in we're obsessed with him.
• 26:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, binding 13.
• 26:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: I say now.
• 26:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: Megan would fight you on those.
• 26:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's true.
• 26:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Hey, she can fight me.
• 26:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to say maybe because I can't hit a pregnant lady through I am intrigued by the friend group.
• 27:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: I love the friend group.
• 27:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's a lot of trigger warnings in that book.
• 27:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: a lot to the point where I was like, not good crying, but like, wailing because like, just, oh, it's always all I think read.
• 27:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was very heavy.
• 27:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: Probably the heaviest book I've ever read.
• 27:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I like, and I say this every time.
• 27:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm so happy that people are reading about this stuff and exposure.
• 27:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: And like, the triggers and if you have severe triggers toward these said triggers and do not read it.
• 27:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: I do not recommend it.
• 27:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think it is too heavy and I think the people who find it enjoyable are messed up in the head.
• 27:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm again because it is so heavy.
• 27:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like you can love the friend group all you want to but like that is like a knife to the hard type series.
• 27:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think where like I think I can see where she's coming from when you look at the story as a whole and like how everyone came out on the other side.
• 27:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 27:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: But reading about it is hard.
• 27:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's not an enjoyable series, it's like rip your heart out and then you'll feel good towards the end.
• 28:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: I cannot say I felt that.
• 28:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like I liked how keeping 13 ended.
• 28:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I mean, it took us two books to get there.
• 28:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: I cannot say I'd be happy because one book is or one story is two books.
• 28:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I don't like that because I jumped from binding 13 to keeping 13 immediately because I was crying so hard at the end of binding 13 that I was like, I need to know what happens.
• 28:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: I read none after binding her routine.
• 28:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: I googled the end of keeping her routine because I just was not putting myself through any of more that abuse.
• 28:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, so do with that information, what you will, I don't think I should've recommended that book to anybody.
• 28:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: I guess she's supposed to be finishing the series.
• 28:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, well, that's a great for her.
• 28:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: I have not read past the first book.
• 28:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, nor do I have to be.
• 28:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think.
• 28:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, this is a huge series and it's finally like catching wind.
• 28:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, which I think is like cool for her for her not for anybody reading it though
• 29:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Megan would say otherwise.
• 29:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: Who you know, we're each entitled to our own opinion, correct?
• 29:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I don't like that series because it's so heavy.
• 29:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not saying it's not good writing.
• 29:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not saying it's not a good writing fantastic.
• 29:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: I just don't like the story because it's a good experience by B. K. Borsan, I want to say this is the only B. K. Borsan book that I have not really loved.
• 29:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: and I feel like I'm also in the minority on that, but it just kind of freaked me out that she was getting the freak on with the ghost of Christmas past.
• 29:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not reading it because of that.
• 29:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: So that threw me all the way off.
• 29:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
• 29:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was not a fantasy book and I'm sure and I think it was like magical realism is what I think they call it.
• 29:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I don't think that I personally am a fan of magical realism.
• 29:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: either want a fantasy or a romance.
• 29:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 29:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't want the lines blurred because then I'm like, that's weird.
• 29:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think I would like that either.
• 29:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: I've never read anything like that, but I just don't see myself.
• 30:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: I like it to be black or white.
• 30:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Am I going to read the next book?
• 30:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: Probably.
• 30:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I don't know that this did it for me.
• 30:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, the story was good.
• 30:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: I just thought it was weird, like it's some things we're just weird and I couldn't look past them.
• 30:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: The ghost thing would immediately be a turn-off for me, like, sorry, can't do it.
• 30:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like they are both touch-starved, but a ghost is touching you, like, and then ghosts live in the world that you live in.
• 30:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
• 30:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: I just did not enjoy it while when they were killed, the freak-on was, yeah, that was kind of weird to me.
• 30:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: imagination can't go that wild you know like yeah I mean I'm imagining like dragons but that that's a long thing I think it's just a magical realism thing like either one fantasy or romance right or like a romance he is fine but like when you when you are in the real world and it's a romance like fully in the real world not a fantasy world I don't want magic I don't know at least we
• 31:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yes, a hundred percent.
• 31:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm 11 this Emily Henry stuff that I'm reading.
• 31:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: Dave, I'm a hand, I think.
• 31:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: I loved it's my last story.
• 31:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Dave, I'm a hand.
• 31:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: 10 to 10 recommend that.
• 31:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't like people in middle vacation.
• 31:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, I didn't love that one.
• 31:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: I do want to give it a second chance because it's been so long.
• 31:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: But as of right now, without me re-reading it, I would say no.
• 31:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: Do I want to, I kind of want to watch the movie, though?
• 31:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: I really want to watch the movie, but I really want to read the book first.
• 31:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm waiting.
• 31:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to read the book first.
• 31:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I'd rather just watch the movie, be like, didn't like the book, but it
• 31:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I, I, Eric, yeah, is that man and all his younger mangled skin.
• 31:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: So it was for Kaylee, Kaylee can't stand.
• 32:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, that was the one thing Kaylee could not get over.
• 32:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: If it was for me, Kaylee could not.
• 32:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: If I pretend like he is fine, Kaylee is fine, he's fine.
• 32:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Then, like, when the mangled skin, then I'm good.
• 32:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: In my head, I don't know what that looks like.
• 32:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: And so, I don't know, I feel bad.
• 32:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then some scratches, you know?
• 32:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm picturing Jack Sparrow, but with Wilts, all over his back.
• 32:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: I just imagine that.
• 32:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was with a limp because he was so torn up.
• 32:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm just like, but like, picturing this man who's like crippled over with love of Davy Jones, like that's what she was imagining.
• 32:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like stuff all over his back from being with so many times and then mangled scars, just like,
• 32:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: all over his back.
• 32:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then he's walking with a limp because he's so hurt and I'm just like stick to the fan art.
• 32:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: Is that attractive?
• 32:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: Stick to the fan art.
• 32:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: I know.
• 32:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's so bad.
• 32:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: The fan art.
• 33:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: Chef's gifts.
• 33:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: I will say, love the ever king.
• 33:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: didn't like that really excited to read the mist thief.
• 33:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: I want to read that really bad.
• 33:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Which sucks because you kind of have to read the ever queen to get into the mist thief.
• 33:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: I hated it ever queen.
• 33:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was slow.
• 33:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was so slow.
• 33:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: Being was fantastic.
• 33:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, again, the ever king, six stars.
• 33:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Fantastic.
• 33:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: The ever queen was like three stars.
• 33:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: And could have been half the amount that it was.
• 33:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like it was so slow and once you read about Eric,
• 33:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: mm-hmm.
• 33:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: You will not believe how long you take the second book anyways.
• 33:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: I do want to read the Misty and yeah, that was for the whole time.
• 33:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was like, where is this man?
• 33:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's no way.
• 33:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm so off to find me like what do you mean?
• 33:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: That is what I mean.
• 33:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's so funny.
• 33:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so that's the only reason I've seen I really hated the second book, but the first book is a hundred percent yes.
• 34:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, heartless hunter in a rebel witch.
• 34:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: Hmm, 10 out of 10.
• 34:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Hmm, 10 out of 10.
• 34:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: I love rebel witch to more than I like, heartless hunter.
• 34:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm an opposite, but I love them both like very equally.
• 34:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's only one weird thing you have to get through.
• 34:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: But one weird.
• 34:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: I texted her and I said, is this the thing?
• 34:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like is am I?
• 34:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's the one weird it out by this.
• 34:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's one thing that I'm weird out by.
• 34:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: the whole book, but if you just look past that, look past the tiny detail, it's fantastic.
• 34:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Fantastic.
• 34:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it's an enemy, like a true enemy, so lovers to enemies to lovers to enemies to lovers, yeah, banter banter banter banter.
• 34:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: So really, so good.
• 34:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: I finally read Twisted Love that was on here.
• 34:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: Would do we say that already?
• 34:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, no, okay, twist it up.
• 34:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, I've been trying to get Kaylee to get on and a wing to a never so good.
• 34:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was really good.
• 35:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: Did you like, um, try like games?
• 35:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: I like games better.
• 35:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.
• 35:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, obviously, like it's a game.
• 35:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: And like when you talk to me, it was like, back to, but she didn't make him seem mangled.
• 35:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's skipping that thing, it should be fine.
• 35:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, mangled, anyways, I really enjoyed it.
• 35:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: There was an age gap that McKinsey didn't know, but I really enjoyed it.
• 35:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I was completely oblivious to it.
• 35:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's fine.
• 35:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: Ignorance is bliss.
• 35:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: Also, the end of twisted games was wild, where she finds out that he is related to her step
• 35:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: and can be like a royal bloodline and I'm like, huh?
• 35:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: What?
• 35:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: What?
• 35:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: I do want to read the next one, because it's the brother.
• 35:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I want to read the next two.
• 35:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: I might find them on audio, so I can listen to them.
• 35:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: The Wolf King.
• 35:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: 10 out 10.
• 35:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: That book.
• 35:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: That is my newest fantasy hypervacation.
• 35:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how I came across it.
• 36:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I kind of like you where I want to wait to read the night prints a little closer to the third one that's going to be coming out the Wolf Queen.
• 36:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think yeah.
• 36:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: So it, oh, it's the perfect like politics and wolfs, but not a bride wolfs and not like what you think.
• 36:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Not like a horse, but like cursed shifting and humans and like the image of a love triangle a little bit.
• 36:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: A little bit.
• 36:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's been like a little hit at a love triangle and it's so good.
• 36:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm so here.
• 36:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's like gotdish.
• 36:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: This harsh, yeah, I devoured this book so fast.
• 36:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think I read it in two days.
• 36:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think I read it in two days.
• 36:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because that was helpful from vacation.
• 36:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: But someone just message me, I was like, I need a new fancy book for you.
• 36:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was like, the Wolf King immediately.
• 36:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: The Wolf King is what you need to because it'll be finished after the third book, right?
• 36:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 36:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
• 36:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's a trilogy here.
• 36:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, direbound.
• 37:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: That was more of a maybe for me.
• 37:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: I feel like I really enjoyed it, but I feel like it was too forkling.
• 37:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: I can see that.
• 37:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: I would say yes, because I think.
• 37:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: We might have been a little over critical.
• 37:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: We were sick on that.
• 37:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: We were sick.
• 37:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: And we were, we had a cold, both of us.
• 37:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 37:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: Then the sound is in fact, and if you go back and listen to our talk, it was an episode, we were very mean, and I'm very sorry.
• 37:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: But we both did not feel good that day.
• 37:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: I like now I'm sat on it, and I'm like, you know what?
• 37:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'd probably like.
• 37:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think I misjudged the book a little bit.
• 37:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think I would.
• 37:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm genuinely excited for Fury Bell.
• 37:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm excited for Fury Bell, but there was so many similar things that you were like, this is okay.
• 37:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's getting a little much.
• 37:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe it just happened in the beginning, and then it developed as an identity like I would.
• 37:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was almost copy and paste forthwing.
• 37:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there were so many things that were forthwing.
• 37:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that is kind of what turned me off.
• 38:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: Even though it was good, like if you miss forthwing, absolutely read it.
• 38:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: But to me, it was very eerily similar for it to be two different writers.
• 38:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, oh yeah, I-
• 38:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: have another level of respect for like a dual author or however I don't know what do they call that in the writing world like where there's two people writing it um something but yeah I'm thoroughly impressed when you can make a story seamlessly go together like that that it's two different people writing it and so to me I think that is something that's so challenging yeah that I was really impressed with they were like I couldn't tell no I couldn't tell
• 38:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think y'all, not like, yes, but just, yeah, I think you should read it, especially if you want to.
• 38:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think if you're one of those people who's like hyper critical, especially if it's too similar to a book, then I would say no.
• 38:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: But if you are just like a vibrator, then I would say yes.
• 38:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, 100%.
• 38:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: And if forthwing is your series, like that's what got me back into it.
• 39:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: If you didn't like forthwing, which
• 39:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, if you didn't like forthwind, don't read it, but if you did read it, or maybe if you didn't like forthwind, you might like this better to wolves.
• 39:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't know.
• 39:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, the trim blackbird
• 39:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: That was another, yes, for some reason.
• 39:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: This one's a less of a maybe than lights out.
• 39:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: Mainly because I was like gagging in the first five minutes.
• 39:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was the trigger warnings.
• 39:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was like, I'm sorry.
• 39:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: What am I about to listen to?
• 39:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was not that bad one.
• 39:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: There was some stuff that went on my list of things I never heard of.
• 39:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: So.
• 39:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: If you are a fan of Dexter and like gore, it's definitely more gory than what's out.
• 39:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: But if you are a fan of like the Dexter vibe, serial killer, but throw in some romance with their both like Psycho Dexter's, please read that whole entire series.
• 39:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm on the third one.
• 39:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: I have it downloaded to read, so I can finish the trilogy.
• 39:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think I have rolled out that I don't like gore, yeah, dark romance.
• 40:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like I would prefer lights out over which I'm Blackbird.
• 40:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: I definitely prefer lights out to put your Blackbird.
• 40:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: But put your Blackbird doesn't.
• 40:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like the gore part doesn't bother me, but also, like I worked on a hospital setting with blood.
• 40:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: I held bags of blood, like none of that bothers me.
• 40:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 40:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, you are squeamish.
• 40:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's a now, but if you are messed up in the head, like me, then yeah.
• 40:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
• 40:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
• 40:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: The night and the moth.
• 40:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
• 40:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Rachel Gillick could write an instruction manual.
• 40:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: How would it be in psychotry via, and I would read it?
• 40:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
• 40:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: So fast, especially with Bartholomeal.
• 40:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it is worth all the hype.
• 40:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: I do know that a lot of people are very critical.
• 40:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: Not a lot of people, but like people who are critical.
• 40:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.
• 40:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's not their vibe.
• 40:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, and one dark window, like the Shepard King series, is a different vibe.
• 41:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: It is a Gothic fantasy.
• 41:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.
• 41:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it's not a dark Gothic fantasy.
• 41:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's just a Gothic fantasy.
• 41:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it's kind of little.
• 41:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: Ooh, sprinkle of romance, apparently, but I love the world building that she does.
• 41:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: It is fantastic.
• 41:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's so different than anything that I've ever read.
• 41:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: And her writing style, yeah.
• 41:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: He did up every time.
• 41:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what's wrong with her, but it's it's my type of wrong.
• 41:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like word usage.
• 41:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like just the flow of it is so beautiful every time.
• 41:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: Every time.
• 41:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like whatever she writes,
• 41:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now, just so you could see my face and none of my noop, never, not another thing to you.
• 41:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't like bully romance.
• 41:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now, if you are a fan of bully romance, which is not my vibe, like, are you okay at home?
• 41:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Blink twice if you need help.
• 41:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: bully romance is not my vibe.
• 41:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't like it.
• 41:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't like, and I kept waiting on Blake to redeem himself.
• 42:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Every time he would never just piss me off again.
• 42:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: 100% and then I got to the spot, though, like the part about the thing that was going down, you know, and I was like, ooh.
• 42:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that'll like that.
• 42:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, and it's on wings of blood.
• 42:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's supposed to be about dragons.
• 42:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: There was dragons on the last chapter.
• 42:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 42:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: That is it.
• 42:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm curious to know, like, if people hated the first one, pushed through and read the second one, did you like it?
• 42:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: If did you like it?
• 42:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: And are you going to read the third one?
• 42:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Because it's supposed to come out this year.
• 42:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 42:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Because, I don't know if this is one of those ones that I was like hyper critical on because I did.
• 42:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: I liked the story other than Blake.
• 42:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: The lake was the main thing I didn't like.
• 42:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't like him.
• 42:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: I've started to like academia.
• 42:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like I've really started to like having the like school setting in my book.
• 42:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: That doesn't bother me like I don't like that.
• 42:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think it's not my favorite, but like again, I'll read it.
• 43:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I liked that part and on-line sub-blood.
• 43:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: I thought the whole, yeah, it was really systemless fun.
• 43:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: I just hated Blake.
• 43:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Right.
• 43:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't like Blake.
• 43:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was just a horrible person.
• 43:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: So if you've read the first on-line sub-blood, or on-line sub-blood, and you've read the other one, let us know if we should push through.
• 43:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: But it's far as it.
• 43:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: We just want more dragons.
• 43:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: And less Blake.
• 43:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, less Blake.
• 43:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: Preferably.
• 43:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: A little spares.
• 43:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: 100% the 100% the guardian is and that is such a unique story just like Rachel Gillig and for that to be
• 43:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: and like the extra and see like that is what baffles me when a writer can break out of the like genre mold that they put themselves in and write something like that and it be so different than everything else is already about and be so good and be so good like you would think that there would be a lot of influence from other types of novels but like that is so different.
• 43:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm excited that we're reading one of her romance.
• 44:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: I am too, because I think I've only read like two of her other romance, so I'm interested to see how I like this one.
• 44:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: Same.
• 44:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: And the last one on our list was a court.
• 44:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: This cruel and lovely.
• 44:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Which I'm so happy that since we who will die and all of that is getting so much high and that of course is cool and lovely is getting all the hype because we have been stands since like Priska and Laurian day one.
• 44:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean it not even after I finished Akatar I was like I need something else at that time.
• 44:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: I would only listen to audiobooks and like just go start to finish if I started a series and that series is like it is
• 44:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to have to do a reread to it.
• 44:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I loved Priskeye Moran or Lauren was that man.
• 44:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: He is that man.
• 44:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, um, it is a completed series.
• 44:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: It has, it's like four long single.
• 45:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Charlie, they're like huge books.
• 45:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, they're not.
• 45:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: And the audios are so good.
• 45:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 45:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: McKinsey read those things forever.
• 45:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: I did and I think he had me read them.
• 45:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm still not done.
• 45:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I will try a very hard to finish those areas.
• 45:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: I need you to finish that.
• 45:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: I will try.
• 45:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I will.
• 45:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: It only gets better and better.
• 45:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 45:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then now everybody else is reading it because they're reading it like all and she's blowing up which I'm so Brick and happy for her.
• 45:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: I know because like that Siri when I tell you I will stand on this I would die on this Hill kingdom of lies series needs to be up there with every other romanticy series That is such a series hold down.
• 45:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah
• 45:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I've also seen a few questions speaking on that, like, a daughter of no-world series.
• 45:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yes, yes.
• 45:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's not her most famous series, Chris Abobent, but it needs to be.
• 45:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and if I like it, I like it better than serpent and wings of nine.
• 45:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: So if you have red serpent, the wings of nine, and you have not yet red daughter of no-worlds, please go do that.
• 46:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: And Maxine, are you?
