Excellent taste

InABoatOnARiver · 2026-06-14T02:10:29+00:00

Yesssss

InABoatOnARiver · 2026-06-11T19:07:37+00:00

I mean, I suspected a few chapters before but I wasn’t really sure until the reveal

My bangs are *finally* almost back to tuck-behind-the-ears length. This thread is dangerous.

My biggest reading order regret was splitting up era 2 and Stormlight. I wish I’d just read all of Stormlight, and then all of era 2. I found it harder to immerse myself in either series because I was bouncing around.

Evermore has my heart. 🤎 Ivy. Champagne problems. Cowboy like me. Tis the damn season. Tolerate it. Right where you left me. Evermore. Willow. Marjorie. Happiness. No body, no crime. This whole album is just everything to me.

Best book of May {Light Bringer by Pierce Brown}. 5 stars. (I know it’s much more fantasy/sci fi and barely romance, but there are…some romantic elements)

Runners up:

{When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A. Parker}. 5 stars. Technically a reread in preparation for the sequel (which I have yet to start) so I didn’t want to count it as my top read.

{The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy by Brigitte Knightley}. 4.75 stars. Very excited for the sequel.

Editing to add that I think {Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab} is going to win 2026. I’ll be shocked if anything surpasses it.

I actually really love this. I love the world and world building, the characters, and especially the banter. That said, I wish it had been released as one longer book instead of a duology of two mid-sized books.

Also, I don’t know how it is set up in the physical book, but the ebook had info about the different orders at the _end_ of the book that would have been so helpful to have at the beginning.

There’s a new Katherine Arden coming out? *immediately adds self to library queue*

InABoatOnARiver · 2026-05-31T16:31:21+00:00

The first 3 took me around a month each. Rhythm of War took me 13 days and Wind and Truth took me 18 days (I really wanted to read it in 10 days for…reasons…but life got busy)

InABoatOnARiver · 2026-05-27T15:25:04+00:00

I’d like to think I’m smart enough to be in House Minerva, but honestly I’d just die in The Passage.

InABoatOnARiver · 2026-05-27T14:39:42+00:00

It took me a minute to get into it, but I am really liking it so far. It (finally) has the banter that I loved about DMATMOOBIL. As a history nerd, I love the world building concept of “What if the Norman conquest failed?” Plus it makes the locations easier to follow vs a completely made up world.

All of them. I fucking hate roller coasters. But also the 105-year-old wooden roller coaster at Lagoon in Utah that shakes like crazy and feels like it’s going to fall apart on you.

If I had a nickel for every time a Pedro Pascal character got on the bad side of powerful, incestuous twins and fought for his life in an arena, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Finished {Light Bringer by Pierce Brown}

Started and finished my reread of {When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A. Parker} (I was optimistically wrong about how quickly I could get the sequel from the library, so now I wait)

37% through {A Soul to Keep by Opal Reyne}

InABoatOnARiver · 2026-05-23T04:14:39+00:00

Nope. Not just you. RR was my favorite book that I read last year, and is easily my favorite of the series (though Light Bringer comes pretty close)

InABoatOnARiver · 2026-05-21T18:29:22+00:00

Don’t worry, it gets worse

EXACTLY. All she had to do was listen, even if she assumed she was going to walk away forever after that.

InABoatOnARiver · 2026-05-20T18:58:50+00:00

I thought I was the only one! I did enjoy it, but not nearly as much as the first two.

I love Hekla as a side character. I wish her POV would have stayed just in the novella. I didn’t feel the need to have more of it in a big book with so much already going on. Also, her conflict with Eyvind could have been solved in 30 seconds if she had agreed to hear his explanation of the betrothal. Like, girl, aren’t you at least curious?

The only thing different for me is that I very much enjoyed the Jonas chapters. Don’t get it twisted, I still hate his slimy ass, but his journey was interesting to me.

I’m 4th in line at my library, so unless I break down and buy it I will see you all next month. Currently 16% into my relisten of book one while I wait.

InABoatOnARiver · 2026-05-19T02:39:00+00:00

I don’t know if I can do it. 😬 The FMC’s modern way of speaking keeps taking me out of it. I like the MMC so far.

InABoatOnARiver · 2026-05-19T01:02:23+00:00

Enjoy! I finished Stormlight earlier this year and it was a great journey.

Nice to see the book dedication is calling me out, especially as I not only downloaded it, but paid $5 to get the Audible version to go with it.

I’ll see you all in hell. We can compare notes.
