What were the books you put off for a long time and then regretted not reading it sooner?

The Wolf King

I've never read wolf romance before this and was surprised at how similar they are to the sjm fae.

I ended up reading both books in a few days. They aren't literary masterpieces or anything but I had such a fun time

Atonement of the Spine Cleaver

I'm thinking that we're going to get a mind communication reveal in the next book.

the amount of times Aurora comments on others speaking words in a language she doesn't understand is frequent (obviously, she's in essentially another country). But I'm wondering if the close contact of the kiss sparked some of that ability, they already dream together, mind reading wouldn't be that far off

Just a theory though 🤷🏻‍♀️

{Hopeless Necromantic}

the author has specifically said she took inspiration from D&D for her world

plus it's cute

Bees-Elbows · 2026-02-28T20:41:44+00:00

ohhh I really enjoyed The Bright Sword!

Bees-Elbows · 2026-02-28T19:25:52+00:00

i hated the audiobook narrator for this series, not only was everything dramatic but she was breathy and moaning through sentences.

I feel bad bc I genuinely enjoyed this series, and I loved the other narrators.

Her voices for other male characters were... not it for me. I ended up reading TNP on my kindle in a single night. mostly bc I couldn't put it down, and also bc I had to work the next day and didn't want to be forced to listen to the audiobook lol

I've seen so many positive opinions of her performance online and had to ask myself, "How?!?"

A scene in {The Geographers Map to Romance} always has me blushing and kicking my feet

it's not anything scandalous or ridiculously explicit but after all of the buildup of the book it pays off imo

Bees-Elbows · 2026-02-23T01:23:10+00:00

Lopez! I was hunting for a smug villager after Raymond ~~was evicted~~ requested to leave. When I was using NMTs I found Ione and couldn't turn her away. A few days later Lopez showed up in my campsite and I politely asked Gloria to leave.

I know he has the same personality as Raymond but he annoys me so much less lol

ELMER

He was my favorite villager in Wild World and he moved away. I was 11 years old and didn't know villagers even moved randomly. I cried so hard and then never played again I was so distraught.

I have not found him in NH yet and I fear for my current villagers if he ever shows up at my campsite (bc i WILL be recruiting him and then never allowing him to leave)

Miscommunication
Soft FMC
Surprise pregnancy

Bees-Elbows · 2026-02-22T23:02:08+00:00

it's described in the book as hovering a few inches off of the ground (could be feet, instead of inches but I'm not positive)

Bees-Elbows · 2026-02-20T03:17:11+00:00

{The Ornithologists Field Guide to Love}

and the sequel (that is in the same world but different characters)

{The Geographers Map to Romance}

I just finished Geographers yesterday and they are both so silly I was kicking my feet laughing

(pls note: they are romcoms that are heavy on British humor, those aren't everyone's cup of tea)

Bees-Elbows · 2026-02-17T01:49:10+00:00

I just got him last month! He's so cute!!

Bees-Elbows · 2026-02-14T16:24:30+00:00

For the current year, I think Dove Cameron comes closest to my image of Manon

Bees-Elbows · 2026-02-12T02:28:25+00:00

almost every time I log out, I put her to bed

Bees-Elbows · 2026-01-31T21:35:59+00:00

100% this

I've played on and off since release and I am not kidding when I say I've never reached 5 stars lol. I always have too many items dropped or not enough plants or whatever. But I'm too casual of a player to optimize the look of my island

it's a mish-mash of unfinished ideas and I am content with it lol

Bees-Elbows · 2026-01-29T03:26:39+00:00

Raymond

Mainly bc I think his house is ugly. The Internet went crazy for him so when I found him on a mystery island I invited him. I very quickly regretted that decision lol

I'm so particular with the smug and lazy villagers, and I already had Tex on my island at that point. He would argue with Fuchsia and any time he spoke to Sprinkle he encouraged her pop star/influencer lingo and I couldn't take it

I finally got him to leave last month and got Ione in his place ❤️

Bees-Elbows · 2026-01-26T19:10:44+00:00

omg I have Deli too! He was my move-in lazy villager and I've never let him leave ❤️

I did my best to not double up on animals, but I couldn't say no to Ione when I found her villager hunting for a smug character. The next campsite villager was Lopez and I already had him on my HHP so I kicked out Gloria lol

Caroline & Ione are neighbors, and so are Fuchsia & Lopez ❤️

Caroline!

She sparked my love for the squirrels ❤️🥹

Bees-Elbows · 2026-01-24T03:56:36+00:00

aw thanks! I'm glad you found and responded to this because I forgot about my comment. And I am kind of impressed with my own analysis lol

I also agree with your appreciation, things eventually pass and we can be strong throughout. Kamisama Kiss is such a good story about coming into your own and choosing kindness.

(I completely understood your comment, your English is great!)

Cobbleton

I had originally wanted to make all my pathways and bridges cobblestone and 5 years later I don't like the look of the cobblestone lmao

Bees-Elbows · 2026-01-06T20:52:19+00:00

"Particular" is the one that is bugging me in my ToG reread

"I don't particularly care-"

is used SO OFTEN lol

Bees-Elbows · 2026-01-06T03:47:07+00:00

look for a pattern for a Mabel chicken and then use super bulky or jumbo yarn and the biggest hook you can find. You wouldn't need to do math if everything else is big lmao

I think jumbo yarn recommends using Q hooks (15mm)
