To keep things casual, we'll be reading a book every other month and having live discussions in the months inbetween. Full details are below - we've also set up a Discord and Instagram.

I read Liveship Traders BEFORE Farseer: Should you?? | Robin Hobb Reading Order Discussion Maria Might Read That 2022-06-22 | Hi there! Today I'm bringing you a discussion about the unconventional reading order I chose for Robin Hobb's Realm of the Elderlings.

So I wanted to go into my reasons for reading Liveship before Farseer, the pros and cons I experienced, and whether or not I recommend this order to anyone else. Let me know your thoughts below.

My (Minimalist) Physical TBR Maria Might Read That 2021-10-19 | Hi everyone! In this video, I wanted to share my current physical TBR with you and let you know what books I'll be trying to prioritize in the near future. I'm primarily a library reader so having a physical TBR is kind of a new thing for me. But I did have less access to books when libraries were closed last year and as a result of my move, so I have built up a little collection for once. I'd love to hear if you've read any of these or if you have them on your TBR too!⌛ Timestamps:00:00 Intro2:11 YA Fantasy6:47 Adult Fantasy13:18 Nonfiction Memoir14:16 Outro📚 Book links for more detailed summaries:Daughter of Smoke and Bone: goodreads.com/book/show/8490112-daughter-of-smoke-bone?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=auFUlQ4c76&rank=1The Priory of the Orange Tree: goodreads.com/book/show/40275288-the-priory-of-the-orange-tree?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=B07FpaULIN&rank=1The Lies of Locke Lamora: goodreads.com/book/show/29588376-the-lies-of-locke-lamora?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=phfs0Dvu0o&rank=1A Natural History of Dragons: goodreads.com/book/show/12974372-a-natural-history-of-dragons?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=nPWILjHLRR&rank=3Truthwitch: goodreads.com/book/show/21414439-truthwitch?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=3VFzjWaIQi&rank=1Blazewrath Games: goodreads.com/book/show/49247306-blazewrath-games?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=O1mr22ehMd&rank=1Assassin's Apprentice (Farseer trilogy): goodreads.com/book/show/77197.Assassin_s_Apprentice?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=qgF59yDA3w&rank=4Ship of Magic (Liveship Traders trilogy): goodreads.com/book/show/45100.Ship_of_Magic?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=USxvnDNGLE&rank=3The Black Coast: goodreads.com/book/show/52758545-the-black-coast?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=OHeB9TWooe&rank=1Blade of Secrets: goodreads.com/book/show/51591632-blade-of-secrets?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=8f1fru2dER&rank=1Fox and I: goodreads.com/book/show/56764127-fox-i?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=ncfXx65yBh&rank=1☕ Find me on:twitter.com/teabooksmagic
Gushing about my new fantasy obsession & wrapping up the Magical Readathon Maria Might Read That 2021-10-12 | Hi everyone! I'm so excited to talk to you about the books I read in September. (But we're calling it a general reading wrap-up so that I have the flexibility of doing these as the mood strikes in future.) I had such a great reading month! Two amazing 5 star reads (one of which is now an all-time favorite fantasy series), one 4 star read, and one still-enjoyable 3.5 star read. Let me know how your month/reading went and what you've been loving lately. Also, apologies if the lighting was a bit off in this video. I’m still trying to figure out the best angle to film with my window and the ever-changing sky in WA. 😅Chapters:00:00 Intro00:34 The Black Coast05:13 Wings of Shadow09:16 Jade War (aka time to GUSH)17:28 The Shadow of the Gods21:50 Outro✨ People/Channels Mentioned ✨Marybeth (Marybeth Dwellsinbooks): youtube.com/channel/UCKdJQQ-JLW6UlvdRifpmv_g/videos?view=0&sort=dd&shelf_id=0Cass (What Cass Read): youtube.com/c/WhatCassRead/videos☕ Connect with me ☕twitter.com/teabooksmagic
No one can agree on what makes a morally grey character? || Discussion Maria Might Read That 2021-09-28 | Hi everyone! Today I'm bringing you a discussion about morally grey characters: what defines them, why they're not always a selling point on a book for me, and how heroic characters can be just as complex and interesting (a hill I'm willing to die on). I bring up some fantasy examples, all spoiler-free, and ask more questions than I answer haha. I'd love to hear how you define morally grey characters and what examples come to mind when you hear the phrase. :)📚 Books Mentioned 📚Traitor's Blade (Greatcoats): goodreads.com/book/show/20887238-traitor-s-blade?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=19DfaL4xO9&rank=1Six of Crows: goodreads.com/book/show/23437156-six-of-crows?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=fC8fNuxuZl&rank=1Eragon: goodreads.com/book/show/113436.Eragon?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=lCrCj8g859&rank=1The City of Brass: goodreads.com/book/show/32718027-the-city-of-brass?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=C8kZtPKhB1&rank=4The Blade Itself (First Law): goodreads.com/book/show/944073.The_Blade_Itself?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=I0a8vZgaf4&rank=1The Poppy War: goodreads.com/book/show/35068705-the-poppy-war?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=SrqPpM6ve0&rank=1Jade City: goodreads.com/book/show/43587154-jade-city?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=OAy1czvzC7&rank=1📺 TV Show Characters Mentioned 📺Bucky Barnes (Marvel - Captain America movies; Falcon & the Winter Soldier TV show)Joe Goldberg (You - both a TV show and a book): goodreads.com/book/show/36430011-you?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=3Y3Sq0nUzK&rank=1☕ Connect with me ☕twitter.com/teabooksmagic
