Current November Read

I just finished my first fantasy series, ACOTAR and honestly, it has become my ENTIRE personality. Everything I do or see I think of a scene from the series, or a character and I can’t get my mind off it. ACOTAR will forever be my absolute favorite series. Every day I get home from work and curl up in my Bookish or an ACOTAR sweatshirt to read more fantasy, as this seems to be my new favorite.

I did a LOT of research when trying to decide if I wanted to read Assassins Blade first, or TOG. I ultimately came to the decision to read AB first as I think my brain will get confuzzled if I read this one third, and then have to go back in time. So chronological order it is.

I can say, I am halfway through with AB so far and I do like it a lot, especially the mini series within, but I’m not finishing it as fast as I normally would be. I’m not truly attached to the characters just yet, (which is what others were saying), but I think for my mental well being I needed to do read it in chronological order just to be able to fully understand the plot better.

What are your thoughts? Did you read AB or TOG first??

PS. The app I’m using is Fable! I just got the app about a week ago so I’m still learning how to use it. If you have a better reading app, let me know!

... Read moreIf you're an avid fantasy reader, you might find yourself pondering over which series to tackle next. With the rise of captivating worlds like ACOTAR and the broad universe of the Throne of Glass series, many book lovers debate the best reading order. The Assassins Blade, offering a prequel scenario, often prompts discussions on whether to experience it chronologically or dive into Throne of Glass first. Since these stories intertwine in various ways, comprehension can be a concern for new readers. A methodical approach, like reading in chronological order, can help develop a deeper connection to characters and plotlines. In addition, using reading apps like Fable can enhance the reading experience, offering tools to track progress and suggest new titles. For those curious about overall book community favorites, genres such as romantasy are growing in popularity, bridging the gap between romance and fantasy. Sharing recommendations within reading communities can also lead to discovering hidden gems that may not have come into the radar. Feel free to share your experience on which books to read first and your thoughts on Fable or other reading apps! Happy reading!
