😭 I want to, but no one's buying. We may have to move so if I don't sell I'm going to see if friends want something or if the library wants them.

I have the ear, but I just lose motivation to study something every day, and I kinda want results fast 😂 Grammar is tricky but it explains how things work so it's good. When I started learning some other languages (not that I moved far 😂) THEN I got to understand what some things about grammar in Serbian and English, before that I was just playing it by ear. I still don't know when to use what tense in English, but that mostly applies to the past tenses 😅

Yeah, I remember liking more the novella than the first book, but it gave me The Originals vibe 😂 so that was cool.

It's all paperbacks with me, and maybe 3-4 hardcovers (I don't really like them).
Oh god, the changing tastes, like half of those books are books that I'm not interested in anymore or I read and liked them but won't be rereading, and they are just taking place and sitting there waiting to be sold.

When English is not your first language it's "easier" to learn, but if you are interested in other languages it can be more difficult if you don't have enough motivation for it.. Saying that from experience 😂

Woohoo. What are your thoughts so far?

Oh, dammit.. I have physical books too, and I haven't even added them to the list so it's more. But yeah, newer things are more interesting, and I've gotten used to reading in English so my books that are a translations are not as appealing.

No, I don't mind. We'll finish the series by the end of the year, or at least the books that are out, and that's what we are aiming for 😄

Plus I made a list of most of the books I own in one way or another and that I want to read.. it has 340 books.. for now. So I won't get time to get sick of waiting 😂

EDIT:
AND I have another 100 books that I'm not sure about if I'll like so I have to give them a try..

I gathered that, it was mentioned, however I don't remember him 😅

However you say, I don't mind waiting if you want to catch up first.

I read the Star of David story and meh, this one was the least interesting for me. It says we met David, but I don't remember him.

Did you get Cry Wolf from the library?

😮 That's interesting, I saved it. It's good it has english subs, but if I ever get to it 😅 (because I know how I am) I'm probably going to ignore it and listen and read the subs in spanish

Fairy Gift - Ohhh, a vampire that can walk in the sun.. that's intriguing, I like that. When I started it I wasn't interested in the story or Thomas. Serbians are mentioned 😃 it's always interesting to see your people mentioned in books.

Seeing Eye - Is the Tom mentioned here the Tom from Fairy Gift? I mean I'll find out when I start reading it. Now I hate that I don't really remember Hunting Ground and Moira and Tom.
Okay, so not the same Tom.

Alpha & Omega - I hadn't planned on re-reading this, but I'm half-way atm. Poor Ana how she was treated. As I read I remember that the rape in Iron Kissed was not the first one in this universe, although it was happening as we were reading it.

Yeah.. I saw there are 2 versions of Moon called and I think I'll skip that, but maybe I'll give a look later on to another Graphic novel that takes after book 11. The art looked okay, hopefully the story is too.

Yeah, it wasn't anything special. It just showed things that happened before Moon Called, and we already knew those things. And the art... gosh, it was ugly. The cover that it shows for all 4 issues is so pretty and it was probably done by the artist that does the rest of Mercy Covers, but the GN one had 3 artists and I have no idea how they though it would be a great idea for them all to do a few pages each.

When writing down the stories and books in the order they should be read I didn't saw that Homecoming was a comic so I was a bit annoyed that it wasn't in Shifting Shadows.. And now, 15 minutes ago, I saw it's a comic and wanted to see how it looks so I googled it hoping it would show me some parts and I found this

https://www.zipcomic.com/patricia-bri...

I'm reading it now. I don't know if it's showing the whole issue or just a part of it, I guess I'll see that when I finish but I just saw Tad and had to tell you about it.

Silver - it's interesting to see how things began. I forgot about Bran's mother, and I'm pretty sure it was mentioned in the books I read. Oh, David and Adda were part of the family.

Gray - Oh, the MC is a vampire.. I didn't expect it, I thought the stories were going to be all shifters. Even though the first story was interesting because I knew the characters, and to find out how things started, I enjoyed this story much more. Vampires can control ghosts?
Okay, I liked this one a lot, I hope we get to see her later in books.. at least I don't remember if she appeared..

That's it from me for today. I'll read the other 2 tomorrow or some other day.

I haven't picked them up, but will during the day.
I liked them too, although now thinking about it I remember only Anna, Charles and the Marrok 😅
