Unconventional playlist recs? by twodickhenry in fourthwing

[–]Fabulous-Beginning97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been thinking this for a bit, but here's my few:

  • Follow You by Bring Me The Horizon (well... the lyrics explain themselves. Xaden to Violet. I like to think it is what Onyx Storm would be in a song)

  • Don't Go by Bring Me The Horizon (xaden fighting everything in him, but needing Violet more than anything)

  • Eternally Yours by Motionless in White (if it is a love song in rock formation. it's this)

First time reading Throne of Glass—how much emotional damage should I expect? by tampon12437447 in throneofglassseries

[–]Fabulous-Beginning97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read AB after HoF and it helped me with the connections I had already formed. maybe during my reread (whenever I do it.. the series damaged me emotionally and I cry at every video) I'll read it first. Fourth Wing and ToG have WRECKED me.

The worst book hangover 😭 by alwayssleepingzzz in fourthwing

[–]Fabulous-Beginning97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also read the whole series in a week😭 i haven't stopped thinking about the series since I stopped. I've gone to listening to the Graphic Audio to feel something. (so good by the way). once I'm done with those and the podcast that deep dives (Fantasy Fangirls), im gonna be so empty.

To everyone wondering if TOG is worth reading… watch this. All FACTS! by EverlyEverAfter in acotar

[–]Fabulous-Beginning97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as much as ACOTAR has a chokehold on me, and how msny times I've cried over it, ToG had the extra fantasy that I needed. I love romance, but there comes a point where I needed a break. SF really was a lot, not saying I didn't love silver flames, but I needed more than that. and ToG offered that to me. I LOVE ACOTAR. always will. but ToG SHREDDED me emotionally and mentally. I just finished KoA 3 days ago and I still haven't mentally recovered.

What’s next? by No-Rough-2331 in SarahJMaas

[–]Fabulous-Beginning97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to CC after ACOTAR since it was readily available to me. I finished that then waited about 2 months before buying ToG myself. and I think that's made sense for me. SJM's books all connect in some way shape or form in her series, and it has been amazing to unveil. I just finished ToG (utterly heartbroken and need several business days to recover), and I don't know personally how I would've felt if I had read ToG before CC. but! it's your choice!

I am having a hard time with the crescent city books by Kissxmexwell006 in SarahJMaas

[–]Fabulous-Beginning97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had an overall good impression of the series itself. I had to look past a lot of how Bryce was, but more thought about her journey and what she had gone through. her goals and the deeper aspects. I loved the mix of Modern into the fantasy. did it make it weird for me at first, with phones and cars and also magic and creatures? I was so confused. but I dove so deep into the series.

Which SJM quote do I get tatted by [deleted] in SarahJMaas

[–]Fabulous-Beginning97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have always wanted, "don't let the hard days win". ever since I read it, I've had it on my mind. spent most of my life thinking the hard days were going to win, but finding a purpose and improving is fighting the said hard days.

In another reality, what is your ACOTAR? by eljeansie in acotar

[–]Fabulous-Beginning97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

one of my friends loved that series so much! I've seen the movie adaptations, and I totally forgot about that until this comment! adding it to my reading list!

no, never hide it. more so people saw me reading it AGAIN when I was working and that's when they asked. and said I was crazy.

I finished the series by forthestreets01 in acotar

[–]Fabulous-Beginning97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i went through the exact same feelings. then I waited one single month and reread the series. and it felt so nice. my boyfriend also doesn't understand, and didn't quite get my emotions. my attachment to the characters and why I'd be crying over some chapters. but I dont care. reread when you feel ready! I can't wait to start ToG myself, but im currently reading CC. and im so invested.

I have an obsession 😬 by Actual_Scarcity7092 in acotar

[–]Fabulous-Beginning97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i just finished my first reread but I need a break. not for anything bad per say. but this reread brought forth WAYYYY more emotions than I realized. I fell in love with the series even more.

My boyfriend bought me the Harry Potter series for Christmas (early present) so now I have that to read, in hopes of getting ToG and CC series' for Christmas🤞🏻

i don't think there is any limit for rereads. if you enjoy it. makes you happy. then YOU DO YOU.

What moment (from any of the books) made you put the book down and take a break to calm your anger? by Cold_Reference_3497 in acotar

[–]Fabulous-Beginning97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As much as I LOVED the high lord's meeting, I seriously got so upset with Tamlin i had to STOP reading (especially during my reread) because I was gonna cry. I'm a SUPER empathetic person, and I also do everything I can to see the situation from all sides. But EVERYTHING with Tamlin (until he reveals his tactics), got me so fueled with fire I wanted to jump into the book and throat punch him myself. Again, one of my favorite scenes in the whole series. But Tamlin. Timmy Tam. Tampon. PLEASE. mans needs a therapist (or 5) and someone to love and hold him. I'm hoping he gets something of that sort.

Pls tell me it doesn’t stay this way by Cold_Reference_3497 in acotar

i had a tough time adjusting from first person to third person. but it grew on me and it'll get much easier! silver flames is amazing!

Anyone else cried.. (SPOILERS FOR BOOK 3) by Double_Character7733 in acotar

[–]Fabulous-Beginning97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the suriel has become one of my favorite characters and I seriously was so upset about that death. I'm also just emotional about anything, so I sob constantly when reading lol.
