Getting ready for ACOSH = watching all the recap videos!!! 📖 #YouTubePartner

Tara Michelle hugs a stack of Sarah J. Maas novels in her kitchen, having reached the end of an entire fantasy universe. Finishing the books, though, doesn't mean she remembers every detail.

Her next step is recap videos: a refresher on the lore and plot before A Court of Splintered Harmony, the release she is counting down to in the clip. The post is labeled as a YouTube partnership.

Four days after it was posted, the short vlog is gathering views at more than thirteen times its usual daily pace. It captures a very particular reader's predicament: doing all the reading, then realizing there is still some homework.

The stacks span A Court of Thorns and Roses, Throne of Glass and Crescent City. That last series gets a brief defense from Tara: "Crescent City, highly underrated."

In the comments, readers are comparing ways to catch up. One says there wasn't enough time for a reread and will also rely on recaps; another would rather savor a first journey through the books than rush toward the release. Others are still working through the opening ACOTAR novel, or credit Tara with getting them started.

Her reading plans have since moved beyond the kitchen counter. Other uploads include "midnight release party for acotar 6!!!!" and "pack with me for a reading retreat!"

Just started the third book in the ACOTAR series . I was going to rush through the Mass verse for the new release but I think I’m actually going to really savour them and enjoy them because I’m never going to be able to read them for the first time again!
