Goal Setting my July TBR! Maria Might Read That 2022-07-05 | Hi there! Today I'm bringing you my July TBR (or MBR if you will), with a bit of a twist. I was trying to narrow down my long list of books I want to read and also trying to be more intentional about what I'm picking up, so I decided to pick books based on goals/intentions. Hopefully this will keep both the mood reader and the goal setter in me happy haha. Let me know what you think of this system and if you'd like to see this become a regular thing. As always, thanks for watching and chatting with me! 💜 ⌛Time stamps:00:00 Intro1:15 Book from priority series list2:28 Series continuation3:25 Commitment read5:31 Book off physical TBR7:34 Mood Read10:29 Outro✨Links/channels mentioned:T.

We're starting off with reading Unconquerable Sun by Kate Elliott in September, with a live show to follow in October. 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. Both Farseer and Liveship Traders are two possible entry points into Hobb's expansive universe but I've found that most people tend to read in publication order. 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. Do you agree/disagree with me if you've read RotE?

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
