REVIEW/BUSINESS INQUIRES

I wish I had known about DNFing 60 years foods, relationships, etc.. I take full advantage now. Love your vids❣️

[Rosen___]

I must say this new setup makes me feel so calm😌

[marleythompson]

Can we please have a full minute of you being sassy at the start of every single video please 😂❤️

[peyfler]

Honestly, that Throne of Glass idea would be totally doable, the storyline like completely shifts to something totally separate and as long as you remember the third book you would be fine lmao (I say this as someone who acknowledges SJM books are not that great but still really enjoys reading them)

[Katiedora]

I think for the Throne of Glass series (which I ultimately liked more as a whole than ACOTAR), it just becomes such a different thing by the end that I do think it's worth seeing through. There are enough characters to care about and I was actually satisfied by the ending, and I'd be super interested to see your thoughts if you made a project of it. As for series that I've DNF'd: Wicked Saints (b/c I just thought the writing was bad when it came out), Caraval (which I also didn't care for the writing), Miss Peregrine (I didn't know it was a series till after I'd emotionally moved on), and the Frostblood Saga (the first book became a hate read to entertain my friends who actually loved it). There's a few more series that I'm probably never going back to, but it's largely because too much time passed and I don't want to reread anything to get back into.

*Grisha spoilers* 🚨




I DNFed the Grisha trilogy right after finishing Seige and Storm (because of all the spoilers I read in tumblr back in the day; as an anti-Mal gal.)

As well as, I DNFed Six of Crows after finishing the first book (also because of spoilers I read on tumblr about my beloved favourite ship; Matthias and Nina.)

Because that’s what self care looks like. 🖤

Hahahahhahaha I love the sass at the beginning. 😂 WE LOVE THAT ENERGY

[lrldn]

Her "disclaimers" are funny as hell 😂

I’ve DNF’d the Villain series by VE Schwab, along with the Monsters of Variety series. I view Vicious and This Savage Song as standalone I feel so satisfied where the characters left off in each novel. Also DNF’d the Illuminae Files series after I stopped supporting Jay Kristoff and I never finished the Warcross series by Marie Lu because I loved the first one so much.

[ApitaToor]

Also, please do that Throne of glass idea.
I think it would be fun and I would love to hear your perspective on it and I think you would like Manon.
She is a great character

- Throne of Glass makes me sad but I feel like a lot of people lost interest once ACOTAR became really popular. I love ToG so much but I would say that from Heir of Fire onward is where it gets really good. Super unpopular opinion but I didn't like the ACOTAR series.
- I also read The Darkest Minds when the YA dystopian phase was kind of dying out and I didn't like it. I was bored and it constantly reminded me of the Shatter Me series (which I also hated). I did finish the trilogy but that was back when I didn't DNF.
- I can remember when Red Queen was so hyped up and I've heard mostly negative things about it since. The book has survived a few unhauls so I guess that means I'm still interested in reading it.
- I just recently DNF'd The Remnant Chronicles after The Heart of Betrayal because I couldn't stand the author trying to force a love triangle. One of my biggest pet peeves.

[katiekennedy]

I also DNF'd the Red Queen series and I'm really glad I did. My friend kept reading it and updated me on everything that happened in the last 3 books and the more she told me the more I was glad I wasn't reading it!

[ertisakalaci]

I dnfed throne of glass too at the time and picked it up again this year because I kinda felt the impulse to read it again now just like you said 😂 For me it went better this time around surprisingly.

[chrisisbookinit]

ASOIAF for me, read the first book and liked it well enough, got halfway through book 2 and stopped. I might be tempted to pick it back up again if it starts looking like it might actually be finished someday but otherwise I’m not invested in it enough that it’s a must for me

[anushkasharma]

Me going "Hi, Sam!" to your "Hey guys, it's Sam!" :)

[RenHRbooklover]

That’s actually a good idea for the Thorne of glass since I feel the later books of the series are way better than first 3.

[LaurenMillerZoePhee]

I'm no longer a SJM stan but I think you should definitely finish TOG because it got really good. I really enjoyed the rest of the books. <3 Queen of Shadows is where it really picks up.

[Writer_Gaby]

I dnf Shatter Me after the firts book, because I really hated everyone, sorry 😂 I know Wanner is suposs to get better, but theres no coming back from that, at least for me. I feel bad cause I had really high hopes. Also I am sad to see that you didnt care for Skyward, I just finished a couple of days ago and i dove rigth into the second one, I loved it, but I can see why someone migth not like or connect with the MC. Still loved it 😊

[Groanola]

I buddy read Vengeful a few weeks ago and NOW I understand why everyone has been saying Vicious is going to be considered a standalone to them 😂😅. New characters that don’t get much background, returning characters take a back seat to the new ones, anticlimactic deaths 😭😭

[ArielAntenna]

DNF’d the continuation of The Shatter Me series, liked Restore Me and where it was going, intrigued me, but Defy Me was a hot mess. I’m never going to read the last one. The original trilogy is the only thing in my head now.

Also the continuation of the ACOTAR series, never plan on reading after the first 3, ACOWAR was such a disappointment for me that i’m over it.
