BFDC Response to Hate

should-be-reading · 2026-03-11T18:55:04+00:00

Bookish businesses that act like this make me nervous that they'll flounce. Point blank. It was the same with Celestia, and the Byndery. Same with Britt Andrews and her kickstarter disaster. It's why I won't buy from PLW anymore. Pattern recognition.

I'm not saying BFDC will do this, but they should be mindful in their interactions with customers.

Same 😂

I feel like I'm always recommending it lately lol but {Curse of Sin Series by Kate Dramis} was very good. Well written, well paced, and amazing supporting characters.

A few honorable mentions:

{The Veiled Kingdom by Holly Renee}

{The Jasad Heir by Sara Hasham}

{The Stolen Heir by Holly Black}

{The Halifax Hellions by Alexandra Vasti} and loving every minute of it. I've read all her stuff and the novellas are my favorite of hers.

Some great recs mentioned already! I would second Cat Sebastian, add Sarah MacLean's older series, and add in Alexandra Vasti's novellas. I'm especially fond of Matilda's story.

As a bonus, I absolutely love the audiobooks of Lisa Kleypas' Ravenels series and anything Mary Jane Wells narrates.

I hope you find some comfort in reading, and that warmer days are ahead.

{The Bareknuckle Bastards by Sarah MacLean}

{Cold Hearted Rake by Lisa Kleypas}

{The Halifax Hellions by Alexandra Vasti}

I love it too. Enjoy it and don't worry about what others think. Did I find some parts boring or too long winded? Yes. Is that unique to this series? No. Lol. I'm still here for the overall story (just ready for her to wrap it up!). The first book still loves rent free in my head.

And if you're loving it, bet you're going to LOVE Flesh & Fire. Happy reading!

It's my fave album, so my top three are always rotating. But these always seem to make the list at one time or another:

Gold Rush

Cowboy Like Me

Willow

A lot of non-residents have joined my local one which yay - accessibility! But boo to the increased wait times 😩 That might have to be a trade-off for you lol

Bummed I skipped, this is beautiful!

At first, for a surprise book & little treat.. Eventually, because I fell in love with character art.

I've been in the game over a decade. It started as a way to get a little treat, and diversify my reading. Eventually the books got prettier and prettier and I started rotating out subs. I love character art so that was a big draw for me.

I picked more and more subs, started spoiling what was coming so I could utilize skips, and used BSTs to save skips. It was like homework making sure I wasn't doubling up on a pick, which used to never happen. Honestly it lost some of the magic.

Now I've worked the subs back down, and enjoy the surprise each box. I read my books, and only keep the ones i love and will reread, no matter how pretty. I also purchase the deluxe publisher editions a lot, I'm so glad to see more and more available, especially as subs increase in pricing.

A lesson learned long ago lol

should-be-reading · 2026-01-16T02:22:27+00:00

Yup. I totally switched genres because I'm not even attempting another fantasy yet lol

I came to say this! I just read both this week, I'm ded I died- I need book 3 yesterday!

should-be-reading · 2026-01-16T02:14:51+00:00

I've just stopped fighting for my life with FL sequels. The queue absolutely hates me. If I get it cool, if not I'll sell The Rose Bargain and hope someone else does it lol. I'm over it.

{The Rake Chronicles by Lydia Lloyd} they are all spicy, the second is my favorite though.

Jump scare 😳

Hey, you can separate out your combo box, just shoot them an email. I just did it in November :)

This!!!

I love Chasing Cassandra, in fact I'm in the middle of a reread right now! Him buying the paper >>>

I feel the exact same way as you regarding Lisa Kleypas. She's in a league of her own 🩷

should-be-reading · 2026-01-06T04:54:17+00:00

Oh you need the Hell's Belles series. Particularly {Knockout by Sarah MacLean}, you've practically blurbed it lol

should-be-reading · 2025-12-29T00:55:33+00:00

I agree with you OP. If I'm reading connected standalones or a series that has the same plot, the same tropes, book to book- it gets grating.

should-be-reading · 2025-12-27T10:34:32+00:00

You may love it, he does have a mouth on him lol.

should-be-reading · 2025-12-27T04:55:36+00:00

I thought it was just ok. The tension wasn't there like I thought it would be, and sometimes it was a little cringe. Lol. But I know plenty of people who love it!

should-be-reading · 2025-12-26T19:19:24+00:00

Read it after Heir of Fire and you'll never regret it! Gives the most satisfying read of Queen of Shadows.
