Taylor Emerick I have to have romance in my books! Luckily there are so many good fantasies with great romances. Romance is a need πŸ˜‚β€ And it's not a weird question at all, it's pretty common. I don't really have a strict favorite. I used to get more paperbacks, but I've started getting more and more hardcovers because they loook so nice and they're more durable. Paperback is nice because it's lighter though

Taylor Emerick The cherry turnovers looked really good, yumm now I'm hungry haha.

Holly Lol I started calling them soft covers because I would say paperbacks as a teen and people would give me shocked, horrified scolding because they thought I was reading those racy paperback romances you can get for $0.50! πŸ˜‚
You MADE those?! Those look soooo gooooood!!!!! 😍 Ugh now I want some! πŸ˜‚

AND YESSSSS GILBERT END OF SEASON 3 OMGGG πŸ₯΅πŸ₯΅πŸ€€πŸ€€πŸ€€πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ’πŸ‘„πŸ‘„πŸ˜‚
And that's too funny because paperback is just a normal word πŸ˜… It's weird because softcover is an actual type of different cover, and calling something paperback is just the general book format, not just for romances πŸ˜‚πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

message 761: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick There are just soooo many good moments from the season. What killed me though was the letter debacles πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­πŸ˜­ Atleast Gilbert essentially said his letter when he expressed his love and kill kissed her lolol

Taylor Emerick It kills me. I love it so much.
I'll continue to pray for another season until it happens.
Hope you guys had a good weekend btw!


message 767: by Holly (new) - added it

Holly Welcome, Callie! Lol, yeah, I can't say I was into The Heir or The Crown, so no judgment there πŸ˜‚
I'm glad you finished Yes, No, Maybe So, Katie! Sorry it didn't completely wow you 😝
My weekend was okay, though I think I'm fighting a cold. 😝 What about you, Taylor? I hope your weekend went well!


message 768: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick OMG THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IM TRYING TO WRITE THIS COMMENT BC GOODREADS IS HATING ME LOL


message 769: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick OK LOL
I've been on twitter since day 1 πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ are you on Twitter too, I'll follow you if so!

Yay, Welcome Callie!!

And no, that's not really why it was cancelled. It was one of their best running shows, but it was being jointly produced between CBC and Netflix, and CBC no longer wanted to work with Netflix/an American company so they broke up. And it simply cannot be produced now bc it was a joint show. It was really out of the blue, and it had already been planned through season 5 when it was supposed to end. πŸ˜” Everyone has been so mad because they announced it right after they aired the s3 finale with all that happiness and then devastated everyone. And it wasn't even going to be released in America for another 2 months so people were furious. But it was all bc the companies had broken up. Somebody just needs to pick up the rights, ideally Netflix will just buy CBC's rights and they can finish it 😭🀞🏻🀞🏻 I'm just glad that we atleast got all those kisses and happiness at the endπŸ˜˜πŸ˜˜πŸ˜˜πŸ˜˜πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚


message 770: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick Sorry for the paragraph πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ omg there was so many new comments here though! I missed so much last night πŸ˜‚πŸ™ŒπŸ» My weekend has been okay! I mostly just caught up on a show haha

And I guess I know what happens to America nowπŸ˜†πŸ˜† You kept saying something happened to her that scared you and was so sad, but now I know heart attack πŸ˜‚ it just makes me more curious to read The Heir and The Crown eventually though, to see what happens


message 771: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick Also, feel better Holly!!! πŸ€’πŸ€§πŸ˜­πŸ™πŸ»β€β€


message 772: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick The Good Doctor! I was like a season behind. And then I need to watch the last 2 episodes of an Asian drama I was watching, Here to Heart. I'm at the end 😭😭


message 773: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick Lolol where are you at in Greys? I've rewatched so many times lol. And The Good Doctor is pretty good too, although nothing beats Greys


message 774: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick I'm on my phone and I don't see anything about ratings by the comments, only how many minutes ago they were posted. Could it be stating our average book ratings or something?

And omg season 7. Still in the earlier seasons 😭❀❀❀


message 775: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick Oh okay I'm on my computer and I see it now! I'm pretty sure it's what we rated The Selection because that's what book this group is about, so if you're discussing it you know what each person rated it.

And I love Mark and Lexie so much. <333


message 776: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick Yep! It's our ratings for The Selection! Because if you click on it, it brings you to their review


message 777: by Holly (new) - added it

Holly I know what you're talking about Callie! Are you on a computer? Because I see that when I'm on a computer. As far as I can figure, it seems to be what we each rated The Selection. I don't remember rating it, but a week or two ago I was on my computer and saw 2 stars by my name. I checked, and somehow I rated the first Selection book as 2 stars, and when I deleted the rating, it went away.
My favorite character was probably Maxon!
I've been wanting to read Crazy Rich Asians!!! Gaaaahhhhh lol! And you'll have to let me know how All The Bright Places compares in book form!


message 778: by Holly (new) - added it

Holly Lol why hello Taylor! Didn't see you explained it already πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚


message 779: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick Omg hahahah we must have been typing at the same time!
And I love Crazy Rich Asians so much, I just got the dvd recently so I can rewatch it whenever I want! 😭❀ I have a copy of the book I want to read eventually, too, I had started it over the summer but it's really heavy with all the relative info at first (which is super fun seeing in the movie), and I just wasn't feeling the reading mood when I tried so I only got about 30 pages in. I love the story thooo


message 780: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick The movie trailer for it looks sooo cute, but I won't watch it because I don't like sad endings. I don't feel like sobbing and then being in that mood after lol.
YESSS Mark and Lexie will always be faves


message 781: by Holly (new) - added it

Holly Yeah, I don't know that I want to go through the sadness of All The Bright Places either...


message 782: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick Right? I avoid sad endings, I need the happy


message 783: by Holly (new) - added it

Holly Lol except for Katie, who seems totally fine with sad endings! I don't have the emotional state for sad endings, but more power to her for being able to stomach them! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜


message 784: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick Agreed πŸ˜‚ I can only read them on the rare occasion, I need all the happy feels!


message 785: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick You're always sad because it's all you read!!! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ€£
Looking for Alaska is also sad, but ends with a positive outlook


message 786: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick I'm so annoyed πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ My B&N drives me insane. Bone Crier's Moon just came out today and it is literally nowhere to be found at my B&N like WHYYYYYY


message 787: by Holly (new) - added it

Holly Lol it is to thwart you're reading plans! πŸ˜‚ Our town is too small to have one and the closest one is two hours away 😭😭😭


message 788: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick Omg 2 hours πŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ’”
Luckily I'm close to one, but they drive me crazy. So many books end up beat up, and I can never find where they put some books on release day. I got a cute little magical book about mermaids though that I'm reading now πŸ€—πŸ§œπŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ’•πŸ’•


message 789: by Holly (new) - added it

Holly How cruel of them! 😭 How do they expect us to survive under such conditions?? Oh yeah, I saw that! It does look super adorable! Does the copy you have actually look like the goodreads cover? Because I love it 😍


message 790: by Holly (new) - added it

Holly I'd say for me it would probably be The One, though it has been a while so I can't quite remember what parts happened in what book πŸ˜‚


message 791: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick It has the same cover!! And it's super super cute and colorful inside. So many pretty illustrations and fonts. A nice short read too. πŸ€—πŸ§œπŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ’•
And I can't quiet remember either, but probably The Elite or The One. I always love middle and end books best because more has happened. πŸ˜‚β˜ΊοΈ


message 792: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick I always like later books better because there's been more plot and emotional development, so especially for relationships there's more going on later on and that's what I want πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜ I can't really remember exactly happened in which book either, but I agree that The One was amazing because they finally just got to be happy together 😭❀❀


message 793: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick Oooh omg Holly, you just finished Legendary?!! What did you think?! πŸ˜†πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ™ŒπŸ»


message 794: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick I need to know how you enjoyed it!! Didn't you just fall in love with Dante?!!! πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜


message 795: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick Ooo Katie how are you liking The Black Witch?! I just saw you started it!
And Dante was in Caraval! So he's not a new character, but you get to know him a LOOOTTT better in book 2 and omg I just love him so much πŸ˜‚πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜ Book 2 is so good, new characters and developments omg its great


message 796: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick Hows CRA? And omg HE IS


message 797: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick I haven't read it so I can't really comment, but I was actually just discussing it with some different friends a few days ago. The age difference really does not bother me, it's not really that big, and age of consent is 14 in Italy so theres absolutely nothing illegal or wrong about their relationship. The "rape me in my sleep" thing is a little ehhhhh sounding but I havent read what's actually written so I dont want to comment lol πŸ˜¬πŸ˜…
Have you watched Locke & Key on Netflix though?!?! I'm about to watch the last episode! This show is so crazy and good omg!


message 798: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick Yesssssss! I finished it and I'm so sad season 2 isn't out yet since season 1 just released πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ It was so crazy, I had so many questions the entire time, and it just got better each ep. It's not perfect, but I loved it, I was so intrigued the whole time


message 799: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick Very interesting! Moody, magic keys, mysterious past, lots of questions, a crazy ending lol


message 800: by Holly (new) - added it

Holly Yes! I did like Legendary! I still didn't adore Tella, but by the end she had grown on me quite a bit. Not sure how that happened. As for Dante... Gosh dang, I really did fall in love with him! πŸ˜‚ Somehow, Jacks (a new character) also has caught some portion of my heart, so this book tricked me into liking characters I didn't like in the first Caraval πŸ˜‚ The romance doesn't get totally wrapped up in the second book, so now I have to read Finale! Ohhh, that romance was so good... *swoon*
