has anyone read the bridge kingdom by the same author? 👀

[Kay]

no, but do we need to bc i’ll start it immediately 🤭

[Ariel]

ngl it looks like a must read to me!!! also Kay the morning glory milking farm had me cackling, giggling, and kicking my feet 😂😂😂

[Kay]

no literally! the way i contemplated not even adding it to my goodreads bc of just how feral the book cover is 💀

[Ariel]

i have a whole list of “fantasy smut” with covers like that that I’m scared to start and document 🤭 i wish we could post pics here LMAO

[Kay]

the no photo thing is not it 💀 but i’m officially not scared of anything 🤭 count me in

[Bri]

I am also down to read the Bridge Kingdom! And a kindle unlimited read even better haha. I saw on her insta page that she is having them re released by the same publisher that did a Fate Inked in Blood. New covers to be released! If they are anything like a Fate Inked in Blood I bet they will be stunning!

[Bri]

Haha I just checked out Morning Glory Milking Farm. Was it good?! I have a few books I have not added to my Goodreads for this reason 😂🤣😳 lmao.

this video sums it up if you aren’t too worried about some spoilers but it was actually good?? about a 4 hour read!

[Kay]

i’ve decided to just be wild and share all the unhinged reads i find myself getting into 😅

[Jes]

Sounds like you all have been readin some good books. I gotta keep up. Continuing the fantasy route? Is that what we've been on?

[Bri]

Entering the unhinged idgaf book reading era ✨🙌🏻. That to tok video convinced me haha. I did read the first Ice Planet Barbarians and actually quite enjoyed it so this one doesn’t seem too far off 😂.

[Bri]

Yes Jes! This month we are reading a Fate Inked in Blood 🙂. All of the reads so far have been mostly fantasy/romantasy. Last month we did Butcher & Blackbird and that was a good change up!

[Jes]

OK cool. If I finish the book I currently am reading I'll read this one. I wish I could have unlimited time to read. I'm on vacation Thursday-Monday though so hopefully I get some pages in! There are some good things on this list if we want to continue the fantasy route. Probably not as much romance.

[Ariel]

Don’t worry Jes I haven’t started it fully yet either!! I’ve been moving into a new apartment, definitely gonna try to get some nice reads in this weekend since the weathers going to be pretty. I am ALLLLL for the unhinged reads 👀 the more feral the better

[Kay]

ooo i hope the move is going well!!
keep us posted on when you start fate inked in blood. i’m dying to know what you think!! 🤭

[Kay]

Bri did you finish Hooked?

[Kay]

Jes one of my clients was taking today about red rising on that list. she said it is rly good! it’s older think?? but i haven’t gotten to it!!

[Bri]

Yes I finished it just before I started a Fate Inked in Blood :). Wasn’t the best, wasn’t the worst. I probably won’t read any more of her retelling stuff anytime soon though.

Yeah there were a lot of books on that list I’d be interested in reading. The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo I just picked up a couple weeks ago. A couple of my friends have mentioned Red Rising, peaks my interest.

When I picked up a Fate Inked in Blood I also grabbed to Gaze Upon Wicked Gods by Molly & Chang because the cover caught my eye but it sounds really good I couldn’t leave without it!

[Bri]

Molly X. Chang**

[Ariel]

I almost picked up the familiar but I didn’t know if I had to read her other series first 🥺 it looks good though

[Bri]

It’s a standalone :) ! I also haven’t read any of her other work.

[Kay]

i just looked at To Gaze Upon Wicked Gods and number one the cover is stunning 😍
when you guys start it lmk bc i wanna read it too!

[Bri]

I will for sure!!

[Ariel]

For anyone that’s read bride or knows what a “knot” is can you please tell me I’m confusion 😭

[Bri]

It is when the males *ahem 😂* swells at the base to lock himself in the female after orgasm until it dissipates and releases. Usually to ensure adequate chance of pregnancy.

[Ariel]

🫢🤭🫢 OHHHHH my goodness when it was described I legit imagined a nub next to the… LMAO this makes way more sense

[Bri]

Happy to help tehe 🤭🤭😆😆.

[Kay]

what kinda creatures are in bride? 👀

[Ariel]

Vamps and weres!! Honestly such a fun lil read omg

[Kay]

oooo!! is this a series or one book?

[Ariel]

im 99% sure its a standalone!

[Bri]

Standalone. I quite enjoyed it! Something a little different.

[Ariel]

huuuuge book sale starting on the 15th for physical books and ebooks on Amazon 👀👀👀

[Kay]

shutup!!! what are you planning on grabbing 👀

[Bri]

Oooo thanks for the heads up!! I will have to check that out 🙌🏻. Yes what is on people want to buy list?!

[Ariel]

i haven’t seen a list of what’s going to be on sale BUUUT im snagging anything and everything that’s on one of my 5 different lists 🤭

[Ariel]

halfway through a fate inked in blood and I’m loving it!!! Lowkey makes me more excited to read the bridge kingdom after 🫢

[Bri]

Have you finished it Ariel? If so, what did you think?

Are we doing a poll for June book club book? Time is flying by 😦.

[Kay]

yesss!! can we??
my vote was gonna be Leather and Lark the second book of Butcher and Blackbird that just came out. hehe
i know there’s been lots of good releases lately tho!

[Bri]

Ooo I totally forgot that was coming out this month! Good pick. I will put To Gaze Upon Wicked Gods up for the poll.

[Ariel]

I finished it last night, Bri!!! The twist had my jaw on the FLOOR I need the second one asap 😭 makes me more excited to read her other series though!!

Oooo I’m excited for a June read! I’m behind on my book goal from traveling lmao if we’re throwing out books for the poll I’ll throw in A Soul to Keep if anyone’s feeling spicy 🤭

[Bri]

I know 😭😭. Love hate with cliffhangers. More so when I can’t just binge the whole series 🤣.

I feel that, me too. Been so busy I haven’t had as much reading time. And I’ve been playing COD more in the evenings lol. Are you talking about a soul to keep? I think I have that on my Amazon TBR list somewhere way back haha. It’s a series right?

[Ariel]

YESSS lmao I’ve been trying to suggest ones that are far for me to scroll on my TBR to try to finally get to them 😂

Do you play on PC or console?! I’ve been on a dead by daylight kick recently but about to get back into world of Warcraft 🫠

[Bri]

That’s a good plan 😂. I never follow my TBR in order. I am a mood reader. Organized chaos, just like my life 🤣😂.

I play on PS5, love that there is cross play on COD though! As I occasionally play with a couple Xbox and PC fam/friends. Ooo world of Warcraft is dangerous for me. I remember doing the one week free trial when I was a freshie adult and I was a gremlin that only left my room for for the bathroom or a quick swipe of snack for that whole week 😂🫣🫠. I grew up playing Warcraft, StarCraft, and ages of empires on PC.

Sums up how I deal with my TBR 😂🤣😂

[Kay]

no literally!!! i have no real method of how to choose the next book. it’s chaos!! hahaha

[Kay]

is anyone playing Palia? i’ve been thinking about downloading it

[Kay]

ariel dead by daylight makes me feel like i’m gonna pass out. we need to play sometime 😂

[Bri]

I have also been thinking about playing it!
