You can tell that readers are using spreadsheets. The Discord is also a place for people to put thoughts about the book throughout the week as they read. Otherwise, it could be discussed in the Discord that Natalie set up to keep us organized. Our goal was to read one book a week, sometimes two, then have a Zoom meeting for a discussion for everyone who could make it. The read-along this time was a at much faster pace, as we had to try to get through the whole series again before the end of January. More people who are deeply nerdy like me who want to talk about these books? Please and thank you. This is when I saw Sarah MacLean share a story about an IAD reread-along. There’s no way I remember all the nuanced details in this complicated series. As soon as I saw it, I preordered it, then rushed to social media to happily squeal with all the other IAD fans out there. Then I got an email update from Kresley Cole’s newsletter about how Munro was coming January 25, 2022. I finished reading the series in 2019 and was antsy for more.
Wicked Abyss, the latest in the series to date, was published in 2017. Some years had more than one book released at a time, an impressive feat. Cole released all 18 over the course of 11 years.
I was lucky enough to have all of the series that was published up to that point so I could marathon read it along with the podcast. In 2018 when I started, there were 18 books in the series with a tentative “spring” release for Munro.
When I listened along to the final episode of the deep dive in August of 2019, I couldn’t wait for the release of book 19, Munro. Throughout all of 2018 and most of 2019, I fell in love with the IAD series. I’m so glad I went along on the journey with Sarah MacLean and Jennifer Prokop as my guides to Kresley Cole’s Immortals After Dark series. So when I heard about the Fated Mates podcast by doing a deep dive on another paranormal romance series in 2018, I was hype. The book that hooked me for romance was Molly Harper’s Nice Girls Don’t Have Fangs. Found my favorite authors on twitter and started reading different sub-genres. Like many other things that came into my life at that point, I threw myself completely into it. Romance came into my life and gave me a reprieve. I didn’t have a job, had to move back in with my parents, filed for divorce, and had no community. I was at an extremely low point in my life. It wasn’t until my late 20s that romance really found me.
