I have a backlog of Netgalley books too. I’m just glad I downloaded them before they were archived.

I keep hearing wonderful things about Lost Man’s Lane. Trying to get that in myself before the end of the month. Good luck!

I really enjoy Sarah J. Maas but I haven’t started the Crescent City books yet either. Great list!

A problem us bibliophiles have, yes, I have a huge backlist that I will probably never clear. I hope you get to these sometime in the near future and that you enjoy them all, Tessa.

Both books on your duologies list are waiting for me. I’m kind of glad to know you have older books on your NetGalley shelf – I thought it was only me, lol.

I am slightly envious of your ability to read Crescent City for the first time, all at once. I was trying to do that, and then my work bestie convinced me to go ahead and read them (in relation to my ACOTAR reread), so I had a slightly agonizing wait to find out what the heck happened.

I haven’t read the Crescent City books although I have the first two on my shelf already. It sounds like such a wild ride and I’m kind of debating putting off reading it until the books are all out (might end up waiting forever, but still)… 😂 Ruthless Vows was great. I love that duology. I hope you enjoy these books whenever you get to them, Tessa!

Crescent City!!! I can recommend the audio!

I will choose a thriller, as it helps writing my own novel.

Oh I have to read Ruthless Vows as well, but it’s not out that long so it’s fine 🙂

I have a backlog of ARCs from Netgalley to read. One of them is from July 2023. But in my defense, I wasn’t approved for the book until the end of the month, and it was released at the beginning of the month. I’ve been busy with other ARCs since. I’m actually about five ARCs behind this year, too. UGH!

The “don’t judge me” series pls 😂😭 I’ve personally given up on Sarah J Maas, but no judgement here. I get why her books are so addictive. 😂
But please read Ruthless Vows!! I liked Divine Rivals, but for some reason, I enjoyed book #2 even more. The angst was angsting and I loved that for me. ❤

The Crescent City series is excellent. I’ve read the first six in the Zodiac Academy series and need to get back to it soon. There are four to go, but each one is around 5-6 hundred pages, so I haven’t tackled them yet. Great reads though!

Oh my gosh, there’s Sarah Maas again with those amazing covers. By the time I try her books there are going to be a hundred of them. Lol. They look so good, but I’m intimidated by the commitment. I hope you enjoy them – that may give me the kick in the pants I need. 🙂
