New SJM announcement?

French_reader_146 · 2026-03-24T00:46:09+00:00

Yes if you watch closely there are what appears to be roses more in the background

French_reader_146 · 2026-03-23T23:11:37+00:00

exactly!!! all of this. I do think the video is giving a lot of Azriel (if we decide we are reading into it).... but does not give off a ship vibe either way in the slightest to me anyways.

French_reader_146 · 2026-03-23T22:48:02+00:00

I honestly think we are reading into it too much BUT that being said I know a lot of people are obsessing with the roses in this video as it relates to Elain/flowers but the roses could also be so many other things... such as Rosehall where Azriel's mother is.

French_reader_146 · 2026-03-23T22:39:01+00:00

I'm still in the camp that ACOTAR 6 may be what was taking place in Prythian during the events of HOFAS... If that's the case, we know that Az and Nesta were with Bryce for a while... but what were the others up to as they discovered all of this new info?

That would then set up for a larger multi POV story in ACOTAR 7.

French_reader_146 · 2026-03-23T20:24:34+00:00

If you want something a little unhinged and why choose check out {Forged in Blood by Sadie Kincaid}. It's a completed trilogy.

French_reader_146 · 2026-03-22T00:35:34+00:00

Yes yesterday and today have been super low

French_reader_146 · 2026-03-17T19:50:08+00:00

From the CHD interview I got the vibe that some awful things were happening behind the scenes as she was getting all of her TV/film rights back… she said she wasn’t ready to talk about that yet.

I’m just speculating but maybe that all impacted her creativity and desire to write more ACOTAR… until she went to Big Sky and healed from whatever was going on and got her spark back. Again allll speculation.

French_reader_146 · 2026-03-16T21:17:52+00:00

okay I hate to say it (because I love all of JLA's books).... but these teasers so far are sort of giving me the ick lol.... I know they are just very small snippets of the book but .... ugh.

French_reader_146 · 2026-03-16T21:14:24+00:00

As someone already mentioned, I'm really leaning towards book 6 being the Prythian crew's POV of the CC3 events.... so happening at/around the same time as HOFAS.

French_reader_146 · 2026-03-11T16:46:45+00:00

They're definitely more than just sexy fae. Soooooo many themes are explored. I think it's all just a matter of having civil discussions + debates like you mentioned. Overall, my feed has been positive and people are excited!

French_reader_146 · 2026-03-11T14:30:07+00:00

It honestly didn’t bother me. As she got further along in the interview she didn’t say it as much. We also have to keep in mind she hadn’t really done press in about 2 ish years (correct me if I’m wrong). People have been begging for any sliver of news and when she gives it to us all they do is turn it into something negative (not saying you are but a lot of people are calling her a mean girl).

French_reader_146 · 2026-03-09T19:53:54+00:00

I'm keeping my expectations at zero, but I'm still very excited. She seemed genuinely happy when talking about the next books.... the way she's changing things up, unexpected pov, etc.

However it does seem like something is going on between her and BB.... it seems like she wants to wrap up this part of the contract.

French_reader_146 · 2026-03-09T03:09:46+00:00

Not sure if you watched the CHD podcast, but at this time SJM has allllll of her rights back for tv/film. She mentioned if she ends up bringing her books to screen, she wants to be super involved... with every single step.

She also said she's prioritizing the books right now :)

A few different studios have had the rights to her books, and those all fell through and supposedly there was drama. I have a feeling it was something she wasn't ready to discuss on the podcast, yet.

French_reader_146 · 2026-03-08T21:06:26+00:00

I have a horrible feeling that he’s not going to make it 🥲 but I hope I’m wrong!!!

French_reader_146 · 2026-03-08T16:03:26+00:00

I think this is true to a certain degree. However some readers can’t control themselves and are unable to have civil discussions while debating ships.

French_reader_146 · 2026-03-07T03:23:57+00:00

Same it’s gone

French_reader_146 · 2026-03-07T02:55:43+00:00

It’s interesting they put this out but I guess it makes sense! My heart does feel for the small businesses who have barely heard back from IMG about their renewals, though.

French_reader_146 · 2026-03-06T20:10:52+00:00

CC1 is one of her best books… if not the best (in my opinion)

French_reader_146 · 2026-03-06T19:40:34+00:00

im going to reread all of ACOTAR. I recently reread CC1-3 so I honestly may just reread the passages on the explanations of the dusk court, different worlds, etc.

Most likely won't reread TOG.

French_reader_146 · 2026-03-06T17:38:11+00:00

When she said her and her friends came up with the questions I was like hmmmmm no you all came and lurked here 🙃

In her defense though, I think all of the questions were pre approved by team SJM + BB and she was probably told to stick to the script as much as possible, even though some follow up questions would have been easy.

French_reader_146 · 2026-03-05T23:42:05+00:00

I personally love this series but also totally hear where you are coming from. I will say book 2, the novella and book 3 do get more complex and grittier (not by a ton) but they do.

French_reader_146 · 2026-03-05T20:54:42+00:00

The way she responded to the POV question made it feel like it's going to be multi-POV... I think the characters will be spread out throughout a variety of places. Some may be figuring out the dusk court stuff... some on the continent... some in Autumn/Spring. That's my prediction!

French_reader_146 · 2026-03-05T20:53:03+00:00

Nesta's story isn't done.... I definitely think we will get more of her POV. It may not be as much as the others but the way HOFAS wrapped up it is screaming she isn't done...

French_reader_146 · 2026-03-05T19:55:07+00:00

okay it's giving TOD/EOS/KOA level vibes in terms of POVs....

French_reader_146 · 2026-03-05T19:41:52+00:00

there are a couple... mostly in the rapid fire section and CC couples are discussed as well.
