- 0:10[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome to the mumsery podcast, I'm a can see and I'm Kaylee and today we're going to be talking you all about our favorite books on Kindle Unlimited.
- 0:17[SPEAKER_01]: I unintentionally brought the romance and I unintentionally did the fantasy romance.
- 0:23[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that was so not planned but not that perfectly just yes, are two reading styles because I was like I'm going to do this first because that's so many.
- 0:30[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so now you get a little bit of the best of both worlds for sure.
- 0:35[SPEAKER_00]: But before we do that, recent reads, what are you currently reading or listening to?
- 0:39[SPEAKER_01]: Bring me back by B.A.
- 0:40[SPEAKER_01]: Paris, which is what I was supposed to read for the Wolf King for my TBR jar.
- 0:46[SPEAKER_01]: I was talking about that.
- 0:47[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's wild.
- 0:49[SPEAKER_01]: I think I have like what two hours left.
- 0:51[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and right now they're both
- 0:58[SPEAKER_01]: And I have a theory, but I'm not saying it, but I'll tell you off the record, off the record.
- 1:04[SPEAKER_01]: I'm really liking it so far.
- 1:06[SPEAKER_01]: It's definitely, I started listening to it yesterday, and I'm already like 70% into it.
- 1:10[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, it's good.
- 1:12[SPEAKER_00]: It's good.
- 1:13[SPEAKER_00]: I am actually reading a wee who will die by Stacey Stark who I love.
- 1:20[SPEAKER_00]: I just literally just started it yesterday and I still refuse to read for him.
- 1:26[SPEAKER_00]: So these are my filler books instead.
- 1:28[SPEAKER_01]: saying because guess who also hasn't started brimstone we're gonna turn this into a saga.
- 1:35[SPEAKER_01]: How long will it take us to read brimstone?
- 1:38[SPEAKER_00]: We've actually tried to say that we're gonna reward ourselves with a trip to a coffee shop in a bookstore if we can finish brimstone But I think that's our day.
- 1:46[SPEAKER_01]: So like well, we kind of have to have it driven by a February because it's our January book club and it was our December book club, but did we listen to that now?
- 1:55[SPEAKER_00]: So I love it and I don't think I'm going to well, it's okay.
- 2:00[SPEAKER_00]: It's okay.
- 2:00[SPEAKER_00]: I did just download it on hoop law to try and listen to it after I finish the part was on her.
- 2:05[SPEAKER_01]: We'll get it done, and we'll reward ourselves with a shopping trip.
- 2:08[SPEAKER_01]: And I'll call you trip, too, too.
- 2:10[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 2:11[SPEAKER_01]: Now into the Kindle Unlimited world.
- 2:15[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, if you're on it like on your phone or if you have a Kindle, like I was always reading either on my phone through the Libby app and then my husband got me a Kindle for Christmas last year, not this past one, but the one year before last.
- 2:29[SPEAKER_00]: And it has revolutionized my reading.
- 2:32[SPEAKER_01]: Well, my candle has been broken.
- 2:34[SPEAKER_01]: I recently, like, within the last two weeks, just got a new one.
- 2:38[SPEAKER_01]: So I've just been reading on the Kindle app on my phone.
- 2:40[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
- 2:41[SPEAKER_01]: Which is nice.
- 2:41[SPEAKER_01]: Because sometimes when you want to feel like you're scrolling on your phone, true, just getting a new one, you're like, and reading.
- 2:47[SPEAKER_01]: Do my reading instead of doing scrolling.
- 2:49[SPEAKER_01]: And technically, because of girl math, all the books on their free.
- 2:53[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, a hundred person.
- 2:55[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 2:56[SPEAKER_00]: Between the books that I've downloaded and not read versus the ones that I downloaded and read with them on what is 1199 because it's free 90 issue.
- 3:05[SPEAKER_01]: It's free 90 is what it is.
- 3:07[SPEAKER_00]: It's free 99 because I paying it.
- 3:10[SPEAKER_00]: I am, but it just doesn't feel like it like it's so to me.
- 3:13[SPEAKER_00]: It's so worth it.
- 3:14[SPEAKER_00]: And if you go ahead.
- 3:15[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god.
- 3:16[SPEAKER_01]: I went a little nuts, guys.
- 3:18[SPEAKER_01]: I am so sorry.
- 3:19[SPEAKER_00]: I did 12.
- 3:20[SPEAKER_00]: That might roughly be the same.
- 3:22[SPEAKER_01]: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 19.
- 3:29[SPEAKER_00]: I got one reminiscing or romance to add to that, so make it 20.
- 3:33[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 3:35[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, I am such a Kindle-San.
- 3:38[SPEAKER_00]: I think that if you obviously like electronics, like I have the paper white and it tremendously helps my headaches from reading like I'm foresighted and I have to wear glasses to read and that just helps.
- 3:50[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like an old one have to read with glasses.
- 3:52[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I turned my a text all the way up.
- 3:56[SPEAKER_01]: You can't do it.
- 3:57[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, but the font eight.
- 3:59[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 3:59[SPEAKER_00]: For sure.
- 4:00[SPEAKER_01]: The literal only paperbacks I read nowadays are arcs that we get sent.
- 4:04[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, true.
- 4:04[SPEAKER_01]: So valid.
- 4:05[SPEAKER_01]: We're gonna use one kind of birthday.
- 4:09[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 4:10[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so the very first series I highly highly recommend is the Wendy city series It's all on candle and limited and I just started my reread.
- 4:21[SPEAKER_00]: I just I was supposed to start for him Stone and I did I read brim's owners start when the city and I was like you should read brim stone I started Wendy city as I start to other books right
- 4:30[SPEAKER_01]: I started reading, well because I'm only read at once.
- 4:33[SPEAKER_01]: And like I said, I just just got me one of this series that I rereading reread.
- 4:37[SPEAKER_01]: So I read Mile High.
- 4:39[SPEAKER_01]: I loved it.
- 4:40[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we're both there.
- 4:41[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I loved them all.
- 4:46[SPEAKER_01]: See the next one is finished.
- 4:48[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you're all.
- 4:49[SPEAKER_01]: I finished that dunk.
- 4:51[SPEAKER_01]: Well, because I dripped and we dripped a Nashville and back and I read it there and back.
- 4:55[SPEAKER_00]: Do you think you read faster if you party read it?
- 4:57[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because like I don't have to like pay super close attention.
- 5:00[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just reading it for Bob's it.
- 5:02[SPEAKER_00]: That's how I am too.
- 5:03[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 5:03[SPEAKER_00]: Um, okay.
- 5:04[SPEAKER_00]: So my first one.
- 5:05[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry.
- 5:05[SPEAKER_00]: You're going to get a romance fantasy like tennis match here.
- 5:08[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I did daughter of no world, which is the war of lost hearts by Chris abroad, which actually was traditionally published this year for the first time.
- 5:16[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 5:17[SPEAKER_01]: All on can on the minute.
- 5:18[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, yes.
- 5:19[SPEAKER_00]: I still have the old like the second one.
- 5:21[SPEAKER_00]: I downloaded like a year ago because I read daughter of nowhere.
- 5:25[SPEAKER_00]: It's a year ago and never finished the series, but phenomenal if you're as well on a glass early.
- 5:29[SPEAKER_00]: That's just not one of her more popular series.
- 5:32[SPEAKER_00]: I think really until this year.
- 5:33[SPEAKER_00]: Like I think traditionally publishing it like put it out there.
- 5:36[SPEAKER_01]: But to be honest, I have read both of like the serpent noise of night and daughter of no worlds.
- 5:43[SPEAKER_01]: I personally like daughter of no worlds better.
- 5:45[SPEAKER_00]: It's beautiful.
- 5:46[SPEAKER_00]: It is such a personal story.
- 5:47[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 5:48[SPEAKER_00]: It's true.
- 5:48[SPEAKER_00]: It's written so well.
- 5:49[SPEAKER_00]: I can if you write like the writing style of Sarah J.
- 5:52[SPEAKER_00]: Mass, like I think that's why I feel like it's run of glass just because of the way it's written.
- 5:56[SPEAKER_00]: Like it's it's beautifully written.
- 5:59[SPEAKER_01]: So good.
- 6:00[SPEAKER_01]: Life's too short, but Abby, him and his is actually on candle and limited.
- 6:03[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 6:04[SPEAKER_01]: I know, because I know sometimes a lot of them are.
- 6:06[SPEAKER_01]: No, that's the only one.
- 6:07[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, okay.
- 6:07[SPEAKER_01]: She breathed hates, which ones are on Kindle and Limited, because it was just for the summer at one point, now it's life too short, so they switch.
- 6:19[SPEAKER_00]: This is why I love Kindle and Limited, because if you like hard a book, it'll be like, hey, this is in Kindle and Limited now, because that's what happened.
- 6:38[SPEAKER_01]: So that's, well, other than her short story one, her true, the life's too short.
- 6:46[SPEAKER_00]: That's the one that.
- 6:46[SPEAKER_00]: Is that the one you just said?
- 6:47[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 6:49[SPEAKER_00]: Paul Riss.
- 6:50[SPEAKER_01]: Paul Riss, there we go.
- 6:51[SPEAKER_00]: Well, Paul Riss, bringing forward, yeah, I mean, it's fine.
- 6:55[SPEAKER_01]: But both of those are really good.
- 6:56[SPEAKER_01]: But Abby Himenez, and especially if you're looking for a little novella that's like 180 pages to boost your account for this month, yeah, that's a good one.
- 7:05[SPEAKER_01]: For sure.
- 7:06[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so it came to my Briar's and roses by Heather Hildebrand.
- 7:09[SPEAKER_00]: This is one that I haven't seen a lot.
- 7:11[SPEAKER_00]: I actually found it on Goodreads.
- 7:12[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, let me go see.
- 7:13[SPEAKER_00]: And it was on condolentative.
- 7:15[SPEAKER_00]: And that's the other thing about condolentative.
- 7:17[SPEAKER_00]: You can find a lot of really smaller author books.
- 7:20[SPEAKER_00]: And they're freaking fantastic.
- 7:23[SPEAKER_00]: Like I almost just said fan tabulous.
- 7:25[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't use that word.
- 7:26[SPEAKER_00]: But the second break actually comes out in February.
- 7:30[SPEAKER_00]: I think, and I'm really hoping it's going to be on condolentative.
- 7:33[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure it will be.
- 7:35[SPEAKER_01]: Another is all I can unlimited is it gives you like books to read next or like books based off of this series you read continue the series whatever.
- 7:44[SPEAKER_01]: Amy dolls the mountain minceeries is another great wreck.
- 7:49[SPEAKER_01]: It is a little on the spicy side.
- 7:51[SPEAKER_01]: She's a little spicy, but they're good and there's a lot of plot in the plot carries through to the end which I love.
- 7:59[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no, you're not wrong like that was really good because you have to like you can't just skip over parts like you need to read it because it portray like it played into the plot.
- 8:08[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
- 8:09[SPEAKER_01]: And so right now there's three books out.
- 8:12[SPEAKER_01]: The fourth book is coming out soon and I don't know if you want to read about some Burley Mountain men who love their females, you know, for the fourth book, those about their knees.
- 8:23[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm excited about that one.
- 8:24[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, me too.
- 8:25[SPEAKER_00]: Because it has Irish people in it.
- 8:28[SPEAKER_01]: It does have Irish people in it.
- 8:29[SPEAKER_00]: Um, okay.
- 8:30[SPEAKER_00]: So the played prisoner series, I have not read the whole series, but I've read gold and the whole series from what I can see is on Kinnon Limited.
- 8:38[SPEAKER_00]: This is by Raven Kennedy.
- 8:39[SPEAKER_00]: Um, very different series.
- 8:42[SPEAKER_00]: Like if you want something that's fantasy, romantic sea, but different than dragons and war and this one's cool.
- 8:49[SPEAKER_00]: It has like no pirates and this girl who is, it's literally the story of the of my list.
- 8:55[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's really cool.
- 8:59[SPEAKER_00]: um the first chapter is very misleading to what the rest of the book actually means um it's trying to paint a picture of the guy so just kind of go through that.
- 9:10[SPEAKER_00]: Just push through it gets there is a point so don't be lost in that.
- 9:16[SPEAKER_01]: Emma St. Claire is another author that I love and she is a closed door author.
- 9:25[SPEAKER_01]: So she has a whole entire adult, like, not why.
- 9:32[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, closed door romance series and it's like seven books.
- 9:36[SPEAKER_01]: So if you want a really good closed or hockey romance series, highly recommend you look that one up.
- 9:43[SPEAKER_01]: I benched all of them like every single one of them I read.
- 9:47[SPEAKER_01]: She also has kind of a few other series like a Katy Bailey or a word like that.
- 9:54[SPEAKER_02]: That's all together.
- 9:55[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, but they're not hockey.
- 9:57[SPEAKER_01]: They're just like one of them's like the sheet cake series.
- 10:00[SPEAKER_01]: One of them is something else, but I've read all of her books, and I've loved them all, but And they're all free, free 90 on the can't go on them and they're free.
- 10:10[SPEAKER_00]: That's the moral of the story.
- 10:11[SPEAKER_00]: If you get to know one.
- 10:12[SPEAKER_00]: They're free.
- 10:13[SPEAKER_00]: Um, okay.
- 10:14[SPEAKER_00]: So Wolf King, newfound love, um, by Lauren Phelph Raymond Phelph Raymond is how I'm we are butchering that.
- 10:22[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry.
- 10:22[SPEAKER_00]: I had a really fun close.
- 10:24[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but it's called the Wolf King series.
- 10:26[SPEAKER_00]: She actually just posted on our story the other day that she was like doing book three like book three space to come out this time sometime this year.
- 10:34[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and book two like is already out and it's very good.
- 10:37[SPEAKER_00]: It's not a makeover.
- 10:38[SPEAKER_00]: It's like you hear Wolf King.
- 10:40[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I thought, not the thing.
- 10:42[SPEAKER_00]: Um,
- 10:43[SPEAKER_00]: There are some cool things with their shifting and how they can do that.
- 10:45[SPEAKER_00]: And like curses and it's very political I don't know if we're getting a love triangle or not.
- 10:52[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
- 10:53[SPEAKER_00]: I'm still so confused.
- 10:54[SPEAKER_00]: The jury is still out on that.
- 10:56[SPEAKER_01]: We have commenced quite a few people to read this.
- 10:58[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, honestly, if that's the only thing we can commit to to do is read both game.
- 11:02[SPEAKER_01]: them, I'm here for it.
- 11:03[SPEAKER_01]: But everybody we've convinced to read it has loved it.
- 11:06[SPEAKER_01]: Casey finished book two today.
- 11:08[SPEAKER_01]: Detects and memes like, oh my god, I went to go read, she's already finished book two.
- 11:13[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 11:14[SPEAKER_01]: Casey, she binged both of them, like faster than we did.
- 11:18[SPEAKER_01]: And she was like, I am so mad that there is not a book three right now because book two ends on a cliffhanger as well.
- 11:25[SPEAKER_01]: So maybe I'm reading that next.
- 11:27[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 11:28[SPEAKER_00]: That'll be my tree after Brumstone.
- 11:29[SPEAKER_00]: There
- 11:30[SPEAKER_00]: While I'm reading now.
- 11:36[SPEAKER_00]: So.
- 11:37[SPEAKER_01]: I'm actually, I mean, I have it downloaded on my Kindle and it's my nice read.
- 11:40[SPEAKER_01]: I have it on my good reads marked as reading.
- 11:43[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry.
- 11:44[SPEAKER_01]: Have fun reading from Stown.
- 11:46[SPEAKER_00]: Um, next time we do a Brahms on, I'm said, it's just gonna be me myself and I. Yeah, and we'll see if I get to it.
- 11:52[SPEAKER_00]: Kaylee's like, I'll just listen to the story.
- 11:54[SPEAKER_00]: Three talking.
- 11:55[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'll Google it.
- 11:57[SPEAKER_00]: I'll Google it.
- 11:58[SPEAKER_00]: I'll Google it.
- 12:00[SPEAKER_00]: It will be the first time.
- 12:01[SPEAKER_01]: Kaylee, first time.
- 12:02[SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, okay, um, another.
- 12:04[SPEAKER_01]: I really like, kind of limited for indie authors too.
- 12:08[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I found Brandy, I think her name is Pelator, Brandy Pelator.
- 12:13[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
- 12:14[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but I've read two of her books between the lines and keeping the score and it's like a little duology, um, but between the lines is about a teacher who moves to a new town and teaches this little girl, or she is a librarian and tutors this little girl.
- 12:36[SPEAKER_01]: And the dad comes to her and is embarrassed because he doesn't know how to read.
- 12:41[SPEAKER_01]: He was never told to read.
- 12:43[SPEAKER_01]: So she teaches him to read.
- 12:44[SPEAKER_01]: It's kind of a weird dynamic, but it was a really cute book.
- 12:46[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 12:47[SPEAKER_01]: And because it's an adult who cannot really can't help his kid with homework.
- 12:51[SPEAKER_01]: And so he wants to learn how to read to help her.
- 12:52[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 12:53[SPEAKER_01]: It was really sweet.
- 12:54[SPEAKER_01]: And then the book too is about her best friend.
- 12:58[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and it's like a football coach and a spunky like yoga studio owner, okay, and then she just did a spin off series, which I haven't gotten to yet, but it's like he was a football coach, because he's playing NFL and it's about like a couple of his NFL friends.
- 13:18[SPEAKER_01]: So it's an NFL series.
- 13:21[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and she's really
- 13:23[SPEAKER_01]: not very well known.
- 13:24[SPEAKER_01]: Like I think her new books, the two new book books, maybe have 30 reviews on online.
- 13:30[SPEAKER_01]: So she's small.
- 13:31[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 13:31[SPEAKER_01]: Good check her out.
- 13:32[SPEAKER_00]: Well, it's her book's not really good.
- 13:33[SPEAKER_00]: Well, yeah.
- 13:34[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 13:34[SPEAKER_00]: So one I just recently finished was a Curse of Shadows and Eyes by Catarina Mora.
- 13:40[SPEAKER_00]: I've not read.
- 13:43[SPEAKER_00]: anything else by her.
- 13:44[SPEAKER_00]: But this was very like this was the beauty in the beast, esk book, very fantasy, but like princess fantasy, um, and I got to the end, and I'm like, you know how you read and you're like, oh, the next book's 100% going to be about this.
- 13:58[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I thought the next one was already out, didn't realize this was like out out.
- 14:01[SPEAKER_00]: It just came out.
- 14:03[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so I got to wait.
- 14:04[SPEAKER_00]: But that's how good it was.
- 14:05[SPEAKER_00]: Like I got to the end.
- 14:06[SPEAKER_00]: I am curious to know, like the second book, if it goes along the storyline of another fairy tale,
- 14:12[SPEAKER_00]: or how the how does she does that, but it's very good.
- 14:16[SPEAKER_01]: If you love romantic suspense of any sort, Claire Kingsley and Katherine Cowell's.
- 14:25[SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah.
- 14:26[SPEAKER_01]: All of Katherine Cowell's books are top-notch, and they're all on Canon Limited.
- 14:30[SPEAKER_01]: I highly recommend you start with all the missing pieces and then move on to the spare fall series because you meet the first character from spare fall series and all the missing pieces.
- 14:41[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to have to go back after I finished.
- 14:43[SPEAKER_01]: Well, he's not like, he doesn't have like a big part.
- 14:45[SPEAKER_01]: It's just like it's been off in the envelope and you meet him at the end.
- 14:47[SPEAKER_01]: But that's cool though.
- 14:50[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 14:50[SPEAKER_01]: And then Claire Kingsley's another romantic suspense author who writes, I would say her writing is very similar to Catherine Cowles, but what's different about her books is she puts a little piece of like the person who is doing the bad things, a little piece of his mind in every few chapters.
- 15:07[SPEAKER_01]: A little bit.
- 15:07[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 15:07[SPEAKER_00]: That's something that you don't really see right and it's super similar.
- 15:11[SPEAKER_00]: It's like you sometimes, but not even all the time in thrillers Do you see because I don't want you to know who it is so that kind of gives it away.
- 15:19[SPEAKER_00]: Still can guess it that book that I read the naturals
- 15:22[SPEAKER_00]: that is in the naturals like it's like a u chapter and so you're reading it from the perspective but it's very neutral like so you're not supposed to know who it is.
- 15:30[SPEAKER_01]: This one and even like it's literally just maybe three or four sentences.
- 15:35[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's not like a chapter.
- 15:36[SPEAKER_01]: It's like kind of like
- 15:38[SPEAKER_01]: How Angeliana Smith's book.
- 15:40[SPEAKER_01]: It was just like a few sentences.
- 15:42[SPEAKER_01]: That's how it is.
- 15:43[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay.
- 15:45[SPEAKER_00]: So I also put on dire bound like this one's a bit of hot topic recently by Sables Robinson.
- 15:50[SPEAKER_00]: Fury bound comes out this year.
- 15:52[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, I ate it up.
- 15:57[SPEAKER_00]: I also felt like I was reading forthwing again.
- 15:58[SPEAKER_00]: But yes, it didn't make it any less bad.
- 16:03[SPEAKER_00]: I was really good.
- 16:03[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 16:04[SPEAKER_01]: I enjoyed this.
- 16:06[SPEAKER_01]: Victoria Wilders, Bourbon Boys series.
- 16:10[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it's on Canon limited, but I highly recommend you listen to it.
- 16:14[SPEAKER_01]: It's just, it's just that much better when you listen to the last one.

- 16:38[SPEAKER_00]: If you've not gotten into fantasy and you want to, I talk about this all the time.
- 16:44[SPEAKER_00]: It's a perfect beginner fantasy, it's a super light world building, but enough to know that you've immersed into fantasy.
- 16:53[SPEAKER_00]: There's also romance into it.
- 16:54[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, that's a really good beginner.
- 16:56[SPEAKER_00]: have one book left.

- 16:59[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 17:01[SPEAKER_01]: Deveny Perry has a bunch of good romances out there.
- 17:06[SPEAKER_01]: I've read the birthday list, which is kind of a little bit sad, but it's good.
- 17:14[SPEAKER_01]: It's like this girl has to go through her husband died.
- 17:19[SPEAKER_01]: That's yeah her husband died and so he left this list that he wanted to do and I was just a list of things he wanted to do before each birthday and so to give herself closure she wanted to complete everything on the list and it turns out the cop who had come to her house that night that he passed away ends up helping her finish the list and you know they fall in love about that job but this sad that it was really good I want to read more about any paries romances
- 17:49[SPEAKER_01]: I need to.
- 17:50[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not reading any of hers.
- 17:51[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just reading those girls.
- 17:52[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 17:54[SPEAKER_00]: Um, okay.
- 17:55[SPEAKER_00]: So, okay.
- 17:56[SPEAKER_00]: I'll put, I just all go ahead and talk about both of these.
- 17:58[SPEAKER_00]: Takes these arcs.
- 17:59[SPEAKER_00]: Can you have last series when I tell you, um, top to your, this series lives right free in my head, Priska and Lorian, like, will always be in my mind.
- 18:08[SPEAKER_00]: This is the first series that I finished after finishing Akritar.
- 18:13[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, I need something to hook me just as good.
- 18:17[SPEAKER_00]: I listen to it on hoopla and finish it within like maybe a month all four books like just boom boom boom boom like yeah
- 18:27[SPEAKER_00]: top tier series it's the first one is a court this cruel and lovely don't knock it till you try it it's literally so good and then this vicious dream which is a spinoff series from the kingdom of lies world so they're all kind of inner that one's connected but you can read it as a standalone i just i appreciate the characters more because i have read the
- 18:50[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna finish from that.
- 18:52[SPEAKER_00]: I need you to finish.
- 18:53[SPEAKER_00]: And now, because I may be we can get around the podcast.
- 18:56[SPEAKER_00]: I would die.
- 18:57[SPEAKER_01]: I'm actually done.
- 18:58[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my gosh, that would be wild.
- 19:00[SPEAKER_01]: That's like that happened.
- 19:01[SPEAKER_01]: That's like a book.
- 19:02[SPEAKER_01]: I'll start on speaking of coming to the podcast.
- 19:05[SPEAKER_01]: Ha ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
- 19:16[SPEAKER_01]: I would listen to the trouble with loving coaches.
- 19:19[SPEAKER_01]: If I was you, especially if you're a fan of the pod and want to hear Zaddy.
- 19:24[SPEAKER_00]: Especially if you just want to listen and just imagine Zaddy in different forms of characters.
- 19:33[SPEAKER_01]: Because the MMC for the trouble with loving coaches is the same MMC that did the dramatized version.
- 19:39[SPEAKER_01]: And he was Zaddy.
- 19:42[SPEAKER_01]: And also, they might be coming on the podcast.
- 19:44[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe.
- 19:44[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe.
- 19:46[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe.
- 19:46[SPEAKER_01]: And then you can't, and you can't, and you can't listen to it.
- 19:49[SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, they, they multiple people, multiple people, hand-hand wrinkling.
- 19:55[SPEAKER_01]: I have so excited about that.
- 19:58[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, definitely check that out.
- 20:01[SPEAKER_01]: Highly recommend.
- 20:03[SPEAKER_01]: Highly recommend.
- 20:03[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 20:04[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so funny story.
- 20:06[SPEAKER_00]: I'm listening to Heartless Hunter on audible, but it immediately put it into my account and limited and turns out that duality is on can only be back Chris and sister really, no, sick early, which one?
- 20:18[SPEAKER_00]: Remember we listened to it and it was I say, see, it's really, but I think audible said sick early, sick early, Kristen sick early.
- 20:24[SPEAKER_00]: But I say, all these authors last time.
- 20:27[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know the percentage that I'm through because notable don't tell you that.
- 20:31[SPEAKER_01]: is really good.
- 20:31[SPEAKER_01]: I read, but it's up pretty fast, because I couldn't stop thinking about rubble witch and I had to finish it.
- 20:37[SPEAKER_00]: Someone just going on my TikTok world, like, was talking about that being my career, and they were like, the second one's even better.
- 20:43[SPEAKER_00]: Would you say this?
- 20:43[SPEAKER_01]: Because I don't like the second one as much.
- 20:45[SPEAKER_00]: Really?
- 20:46[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:46[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, interesting.
- 20:48[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but I liked it still, but I like the first time.
- 20:51[SPEAKER_01]: Just like this is the one of the books that I'm like, I can sometimes see how the plot is going to unfold like with the two main characters, but like I can't see what this one's enemies to lovers to enemies to lovers to enemies to lovers like it is so about I'm feeling that yeah I'm feeling that it is, did you know that Sarah Adams has two Regency romances.
- 21:13[SPEAKER_00]: No.
- 21:14[SPEAKER_01]: And they're all on condo and limited.
- 21:15[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 21:16[SPEAKER_00]: She rarely has stuff on condo and limited too.
- 21:18[SPEAKER_01]: Well, they're, I think they're like, well, and she first wrote like, uh, they're Regency, which makes sense now because at her, well, thing we went to the book signing, she was talking about how her favorite book boy friend was from a Regency book.
- 21:31[SPEAKER_01]: And she wrote to Regency romances.
- 21:33[SPEAKER_01]: So it's to Connor, gentlemen, and to catch a suitor.
- 21:36[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't read them yet.
- 21:38[SPEAKER_01]: Those are, and I thought I'd read every Sarah Adams book, but apparently I have not, and I'm going to have to go back and read those.
- 21:43[SPEAKER_01]: I've never read a reading serum as though.
- 21:44[SPEAKER_00]: I was going to say, Guinea was playing with those.
- 21:46[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, Bridgeton vibes.
- 21:48[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, what?
- 21:49[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:49[SPEAKER_00]: I love that.
- 21:50[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 21:51[SPEAKER_01]: Like, read, read and see as Bridgeton vibes, yeah.
- 21:55[SPEAKER_00]: I was thinking, I don't know if you want to know what it is.
- 21:58[SPEAKER_01]: Just tell me what you're thinking.
- 21:59[SPEAKER_01]: Mackenzie, please.
- 22:01[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what I'm going to tell her about.
- 22:05[SPEAKER_00]: What the region is that like a hotel name?
- 22:09[UNKNOWN]: Yes.
- 22:12[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that's all ours.
- 22:14[SPEAKER_00]: Bell hopper.
- 22:15[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I was thinking London titan, you know?
- 22:18[SPEAKER_00]: Like, okay.
- 22:18[SPEAKER_00]: Here's of the hotel.
- 22:20[SPEAKER_01]: No.
- 22:21[SPEAKER_00]: Like, so then when you read me the names, I was like, what?
- 22:26[SPEAKER_00]: That is hilarious.
- 22:28[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, sorry.
- 22:29[SPEAKER_01]: I also did the bodyguard, which is coming out into a movie.
- 22:32[SPEAKER_01]: So if you haven't read the book, but you want to see the movie, it's not on the internet.
- 22:36[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know my Kindle.
- 22:37[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I have to read it.
- 22:38[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 22:38[SPEAKER_01]: It's really good.
- 22:39[SPEAKER_01]: I read it like a year ago.
- 22:41[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so this is a shortcoming of mine.
- 22:45[SPEAKER_00]: Um, the Kindred's Curse series by Pinkle.
- 22:49[SPEAKER_00]: I won't read it.
- 22:51[SPEAKER_00]: Because I don't want to.
- 22:52[SPEAKER_00]: Spark of the other flame was like, uh, okay.
- 22:58[SPEAKER_00]: Glow was next glow of the other flame.
- 23:02[SPEAKER_00]: Something loved that one.
- 23:04[SPEAKER_00]: So that one was like, okay, we're making up for the first one.
- 23:08[SPEAKER_00]: The third one absolutely stresses me out because it's the same length as king with ash and I was like, no, thank you.
- 23:14[SPEAKER_00]: I'm done.
- 23:15[SPEAKER_00]: You.
- 23:15[SPEAKER_00]: And the fourth one, there's been so much controversy with like, when is it coming out?
- 23:19[SPEAKER_00]: And then it does just doesn't.
- 23:21[SPEAKER_00]: And then they're like, oh, it's coming out then.
- 23:22[SPEAKER_00]: And until I'm like, I don't want to read it.
- 23:24[SPEAKER_00]: And then not have finished the series or maybe not ever finished the series.
- 23:28[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like, like, hello, Sarah, I'm asked who that thing I said you today.
- 23:33[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 23:34[SPEAKER_00]: We ain't got nothing through August, so yeah, that was an opportunity.
- 23:37[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure to be December 31st.
- 23:40[SPEAKER_00]: That's what you say.
- 23:41[SPEAKER_00]: It's your 27th of March, like, she would do that.
- 23:45[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't want that to be the case.
- 23:47[SPEAKER_00]: Like Akata, like the sixth one kind of fell.
- 23:50[SPEAKER_00]: Finished in a way, like there were a lot of unanswered questions, but it didn't leave you on a cliffhanger.
- 23:55[SPEAKER_00]: You were just like, people would be in sauce.
- 23:57[SPEAKER_01]: These authors are making me mad though, because I don't even want to read the book anymore at this point.
- 24:02[SPEAKER_02]: No.
- 24:03[SPEAKER_01]: Like I'm going to, but I don't want to.
- 24:05[SPEAKER_01]: I might not.
- 24:11[SPEAKER_00]: maybe I'll read it when the fourth one actually does come out so that I know that like or it's announced and like for sure well then what are we going to change our book club too for February.
- 24:21[SPEAKER_00]: Wait what?
- 24:22[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you're talking about, I'm talking about Kendrick's curse.
- 24:24[SPEAKER_00]: Are you talking about the third?
- 24:25[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's talking about Brimster.
- 24:27[SPEAKER_00]: No, we got to do that one.
- 24:28[SPEAKER_00]: We got to do that one.
- 24:30[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 24:30[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I also did Stephanie Archer.
- 24:33[SPEAKER_01]: She right, talky romance.
- 24:35[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if she right thing else because I haven't read anything else in her
- 24:40[SPEAKER_01]: Um, behind the net.
- 24:42[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
- 24:43[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, love.
- 24:43[SPEAKER_00]: And that was series.
- 24:44[SPEAKER_01]: It's like five books, isn't it?
- 24:46[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's huge.
- 24:46[SPEAKER_00]: It's really good.
- 24:47[SPEAKER_00]: It's one of my favorite hockey series.
- 24:49[SPEAKER_00]: I'm notorious for not finishing a romance series.
- 24:52[SPEAKER_00]: Unfortunately, I read, I read.
- 24:55[SPEAKER_00]: Bah, no, no, no, no.
- 24:56[SPEAKER_01]: It's like me and fantasy of anything.
- 24:58[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 24:58[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 24:59[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so seeing Crawford, if you've not read her, she has what called Frost.
- 25:04[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and this series, it's actually a duology.
- 25:07[SPEAKER_00]: It's frosted and nectar.
- 25:08[SPEAKER_00]: Um, is the duology.
- 25:10[SPEAKER_00]: And this was something very refreshing that I read.
- 25:13[SPEAKER_00]: Actually, listen to the dramatized version.
- 25:16[SPEAKER_00]: And I loved it.
- 25:17[SPEAKER_00]: And then I saw people say like,
- 25:18[SPEAKER_00]: If you loved that, you need to actually read the physical copy because with dramatized versions, like someone that gets cut out and you don't get like the full effect of the text.
- 25:26[SPEAKER_00]: And so I might go back and reread that one because it's fake and human and like this girl who was raised in the human world, but fake, but then it's like bachelor and it's really good.
- 25:39[SPEAKER_00]: Like I didn't love to.
- 25:40[SPEAKER_01]: You saw me that and I have added it to my TBR, but it's you just can't
- 25:46[SPEAKER_00]: The girl is really relatable.
- 25:48[SPEAKER_00]: She's funny.
- 25:49[SPEAKER_00]: She's like millennial coded and just how she is.
- 25:51[SPEAKER_00]: It's really good.
- 25:53[SPEAKER_01]: Sophie Sullivan has a few books that I've read.
- 25:55[SPEAKER_01]: I've actually, back when I first started reading, I went on a Sophie Sullivan cake and if I remember correctly, I think she's closed door, 10 rolls for faking it and love naturally.
- 26:06[SPEAKER_01]: I've actually read love naturally twice because I didn't realize I read it the first time and then I saw it and I was like, oh, I haven't read that yet.
- 26:13[SPEAKER_01]: And then I went back and read it again and then I was like halfway through and I'm like, the seam's so familiar.
- 26:19[SPEAKER_01]: I read it already.
- 26:23[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so I haven't read these.
- 26:24[SPEAKER_00]: These are on my Kindle, but oh, Shield of Sparrows is on here now.
- 26:29[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 26:30[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't know that.
- 26:31[SPEAKER_00]: I had to buy it.
- 26:32[SPEAKER_00]: Well, pretty sure like because when we did it for our book club, I was like, I can't read this book, we did buy it.
- 26:39[SPEAKER_00]: And normal limited is like, hey, okay, not in the mall still isn't, but I have downloaded because I have heard these are fantastic.
- 27:01[SPEAKER_01]: That's who I had.
- 27:02[SPEAKER_00]: That's who pops into my soup.
- 27:05[SPEAKER_00]: You Saint James.
- 27:06[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that's actually really funny.
- 27:09[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry.
- 27:09[SPEAKER_00]: So, via Saint Germain is the author of a tongue says we're in deadly.
- 27:14[SPEAKER_00]: I have heard nothing, but fantastic things about the compelling fate saga.
- 27:19[SPEAKER_00]: And I have it on my canal.
- 27:21[SPEAKER_00]: And then I also have this silversmith.
- 27:23[SPEAKER_00]: I've heard a lot about that one.
- 27:25[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, I've heard the Mazdax system's really good, fantastic.
- 27:29[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I'm trying to look at who the author is of that one because I can't see it.
- 27:33[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, cool.
- 27:33[SPEAKER_00]: Um, it's not telling me.
- 27:36[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, well, but I'm sure you've heard of it.
- 27:38[SPEAKER_00]: Like if you're on the fantasy side of a talk like, it's very popular out there right now.
- 27:42[SPEAKER_00]: And those are both on Kindle and Limited.
- 27:44[SPEAKER_00]: Um, one true love.
- 27:46[SPEAKER_01]: Spatalanaging can't read as long as it is.
- 27:49[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it is.
- 27:51[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, right.
- 27:52[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 27:53[SPEAKER_01]: Any Laura Pavlov book is fantastic.
- 27:56[SPEAKER_01]: They're on Kendall and limited.
- 27:57[SPEAKER_01]: She has like a honey mountain series in the Cottonwood Co series.
- 28:01[SPEAKER_01]: I went on a Laura Pavlov cake last year and I read both of her.
- 28:06[SPEAKER_01]: All of this, but this is any like come in halfway and then into backtracking.
- 28:10[SPEAKER_01]: Well, actually, okay, we got that book in
- 28:14[SPEAKER_01]: PR.
- 28:15[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we got it.
- 28:16[SPEAKER_01]: We got sent it and I'd never heard of her before.
- 28:18[SPEAKER_01]: So I read it.
- 28:19[SPEAKER_01]: And I finished that series from where I started it, but I haven't gone back to the first two.
- 28:24[SPEAKER_01]: I like that's kind of hard to do.
- 28:25[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's already know what happens.
- 28:28[SPEAKER_01]: Correct.
- 28:28[SPEAKER_01]: And then I went to her newest series, which was the Cottonwood Cove series.
- 28:35[SPEAKER_01]: And I really liked that one too.
- 28:36[SPEAKER_01]: I liked Honey Mountain.
- 28:37[SPEAKER_01]: I think better but the cotton okay series was really good too.
- 28:41[SPEAKER_00]: That is into the tide.
- 28:43[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, and then only mind simply mind those were the Honey Mountain Honey Mountain.
- 28:48[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, only mind was but if you love LC silver, then you will love Laura Pavlov for sure.
- 28:55[SPEAKER_01]: The honey mountain series is more like her, um, the series right here while love wild eyes, wild side.
- 29:01[SPEAKER_01]: That one is more honey mountain.
- 29:03[SPEAKER_01]: And then Cottonwood Cove is more...
- 29:08[SPEAKER_01]: the cowboys, like flawless, funny.
