This week’s reading vlog is me doing a very specific little experiment: I’m only reading NEW RELEASES for a full week. No backlist safety nets, no “I’ll just squeeze in one comfort reread,” just fresh-off-the-press romantasy (and a little dark romance energy because you know I can’t help myself). I take you along for the chaos of picking what counts as a new release, figuring out what I’m actually in the mood for day to day, and seeing if the hype is giving what it’s supposed to give. If you love romantasy reading vlogs, this is very much a “come be silly with me in fictional worlds” situation—reading updates, vibes, and the constant internal debate of “do I start another shiny new book or be responsible?” The big takeaway: a new release-only week is ridiculously fun if you like novelty and adrenaline, but it also makes you super aware of your reading moods and how much pressure hype can put on a book. I also point you toward all my usual cozy corners if you want to keep hanging out with me after the vlog—book club, sprints, and all the TBR chaos.
