Over the last week and half, I've read both Fourth Wing and Iron Flame and I am unwell. Loved them and can't wait for book 3. Sometimes I randomly think about the end of Iron Flame - both about Xaden and Mama S and, well, I am unwell too. I feel you. Same. There's not a lot of books I go back and reread at this point in my life, but I may reread both those books this summer. I loved them. The only other series I've read multiple times through is Harry Potter. |

The next Empyrean book was announced this morning. It will be called Onyx Storm and will be released 1/21/25. Rebecca Yarros made the announcement on GMA this morning. Very timely to my interests! |

That's so far away 😭 Yes but taking more time is good. That way she isn’t rushed like the last book. It’s hard to wait but it will be worth it. |

The only other series I've read multiple times through is Harry Potter. I have read the HP series a bunch. I have also re-read the acotar series more than once. Fourth wing and iron flame I have read twice and I listen to every so often as background noise. 😂 I love it. |

The only other series I've read multiple times through is Harry Potter. Fourth Wing was a library book and once I finished and realized my hold on Iron Flame was still a few weeks away, I just went ahead and bought Iron Flame on kindle because of the FW cliffhanger. I'll probably re-read them in Nov/Dec in preparation for the new one. |

If it's something I'll reread I will usually purchase the book. |

Then I bought the holiday edition. Then I received a signed Luxe edition in a bookish box. Then MH ordered an edition from Acrylicpics. Then I went to a midnight release party for iron flame and got that. MH didn’t want to wait for me to finish it before he could start it so he bought a copy too. Then bookish offered us the Luxe edition of Iron Flame since we got that version of FW. All in all we have 4 copies of FW and 3 IF. We are the worst. |

I finished the 3rd CC today. I was ready to bail on the series after the 2nd book (yikes, almost didn't finish), until the last chapter. Then I flew threw the 3rd.

I was doing a lot of housework yesterday and finished the audiobook of The Heiress by Rachel Hawkins in one day. I enjoyed it! I thought I had read other books by her, but apparently I was mixing her up with someone else, so I added the others to my TBR. I realize I’m weeks behind but if no one has told you yet she also writes under Erin Sterling. WHAT |

I have one more day on my Iron Flame hold and a little less than 100 pages left. Need to knock that out.

Very cute witchy romances! I listened to the Ex Hex and I absolutely hated the narrator. I think I would’ve liked it more if I read it. I might give the second one a try. |

I hate when that happens—but I just looked to see who narrates them and the kiss curse has a different one so it could be better. |

I didn’t even make the connection that that’s the author of the Ex Hex! Interesting. I loved The Villa but that’s my first Hawkins book. I did read the Ex Hex and the sequel and liked them. I have The Heiress on my shelf from the library, just haven’t gotten to it. |

I did not like the Erin Sterling books, and I realized that was why I didn't read the Rachel Hawkins ones. The narrator also drove me nuts, and they were a little too cutesy for me. |

I really loved the first and I am struggling hard through the second. So I guess I’ll keep going through to the last chapter? This is encouraging lol |

I strongly disliked the Sterling books and have loved most of the Hawkins books. They are definitely very different! |
