⭐ NOTE: ⭐ I forgot to mention the CWs for the three novellas in the Singing Hills cycle, but they are all listed in the description, along with the title of every book mentioned in this vlog! Thanks for watching 😌✌🏽
"It follows a nonbinary aroace-"
DON'T EVEN FINISH THAT SENTENCE. I DON'T CARE. I NEED IT.
a cinderella story is so much adri's brand i love it
Watching.
Sounds like an epic reading journey‼I’m definitely adding that series to my ever growing tbr list. As for Over my Dead Boy I’ve already preordered it and its a good thing to because I’m in middle of reading The Witch Boy comic-book trilogy which is totally awesome‼
I for sure want to try out the Bruising of Qilwa!
And once again, my TBR is several books longer than it was at the start of the video! Thanks for another great video, Adri!
I can't wait for Into the Riverlands! I think the first novella is my personal fave
When you said the first one had a nonbinary aro/ace main character my eyes went huge! Never thought I’d actually find a book with this exact representation. It’s always just one of them. 😀 I have to read that!
Nghi Vo is awesome. I love The Four Profound Weaves and can't wait for The Unbalancing. Bruising of Qilwa is the Trans Book Box pick for Oct and I must say I love this publisher. I also can't wait to hold and read and tab my physical copy.
Great vlog
