Pause cause my name is Keira and my nickname is Kiki🫤

idk why, but the first thought that came to mind was Howl's Moving Castle. I can't figure out how these aliens may feel about this book... but I think it would be interesting, lol.

'Just for the Summer' made me SOB. ugh. 'Yours Truly' was beautiful, made me feel all the feelings, unforgettable--- but I also HATED it so much so I have a lot of mixed feelings about that one, lol (I was viscerally annoyed by the miscommunication, assumptions about how the other feels. I also felt the dramatic ending was rushed).

I've read everything aside from Yellowface. I truly need to read it! I've been worried bc of the mixed feelings people have had, but I know myself; I can definitely read a character you love to hate and I know this is one of those reads. Lol.

re: men being into romance, my boyfriend's favorite movie is pretty woman and he loves romcoms. so. do with that what you will😌i would have so willingly settled before i met him and thought nothing of it. but he has shown me that there are people out there who are just as emotionally intelligent and communicative and kind as the men in romance novels. so anyway. to anyone reading this: know your worth, and don't settle for anything less than what you deserve. you deserve someone who really does make your life easier. k love you hope this helped

Girl that is a small iced coffee!!

Accomplice to the Villan is set to come out in August. This Trilogy is AMAZING

I NEED A NEW R.F. KUANG BOOK SO BAD AHHHH

So what is The Only One Left about????

5:58 MASSIVELY agree here. You gave a great example and there are many people in the online book space who give short summaries/descriptions of books they recommend, often in far less time than the allowed TikTok length. One of my favourites for this is @williampdozier

another thought: some male authors LOVE to write romance and say that in interviews but will only write it in a fantasy or sci-fi context because the story itself will be more "manly" or sell more to a male audience, honestly breaks my heart because i'm sure they could write wonderful romance books and would open the genre to their male audience thanks to their trust in their writing (if that makes sense)

THIS!!!!! this whole video just put words on so many thoughts!!! also i'm a big fan of friends-to-lovers stories and someone told me "oh! so you want someone to really know you before loving you so you'll be sure they're not going to leave once they are with you?" still hurt today 😀 anyway wonderful video love youuuuuu 💖

I’m excited for Kennedy Ryan’s new book

All I see is a queen spitting facts 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you! These are such balanced, logical takes. So refreshing to see

The seven year slip lives in my mind rent free. It has me in a chokehold. Body and soul. 💛🍋

You could do gold for 5 star or even special edition books/signed books

Gurl this is literally me

Mine personally are Stella and Will from five feet apart. They are just so AHAHAH i love them so much !!

Crave by Tracy Wolff or Five feet Apart (we need them to experience that pain)

I just don’t get why people judge so many people judge people for what they read. Like when I say I’m a reader, so many people (manly men) think that all I read is spicy/dark romance. While yes I read a lot of romance, I read a lot of different genres too.

Percy Jackson. I think it doesn't need much explanation. It's persassy like how could you not? Also it will confuse them sooo much I'd love that

Okay but WHERE did you get this comfy sweater from?! I need one ☝️

I think books that NEVER leave your collection get a gold sticker and the rest get stamped lol

New sub ❤ love your vivacious personality!!

Excited for a few of these as well but Bury Our Bones is def the most anticipated!!

New subscriber!🩷

wow, so glad this is the first video i found of yours! I love the way you speak so passionately and actually KNOW what you’re talking about. Most booktubers only talk about what they’ve read, not about controversial topics! Subscribing!❤

I really like this kind of video! Also the one before this one! 👌🏻😍

This made me miss the 2 floor B&N we used to have in downtown mpls 😭😭

If it has an ugly cover I will get it from the library or ebook. I will not be purchasing it with my own money. So sorry! 😂

"fantasy is easy reading" is something only someone who doesn't read fantasy can say 😅 I read a lot of litfic and the last time I picked up a fantasy book i felt SO lost because the author's world was so complex! There's so many important details to the magic and political systems, and if its a fantasy based on historical events sometimes theres a learning curve because its a culture or world event you might not be all that familiar with.

Twilight its such a good book and its popular so its not like your only getting one person’s opinion

15:31 this is literally me searching for that one ambiance video I listen to when I read. I’m like where is the perfect rain sounds? The low lighting? The fireplace crackles? That’s literally my checklist for when searching for ambiance videos.

MY NAME IS ALSO EDEN!

I think if you’ve got the guts to say “I don’t think booktok should be political” then you should also have the guts to defend your political opinions 😂 bc in that sense, that ~is~ a political take, imo! I’m a libertarian and I’m pretty unapologetic about my views, but I also don’t expect the entire world to agree with me, or to not speak about their opposing views in a space where I’m in! I think if you wanna be on the internet, you gotta toughen up a lil and just deal with it.

Love these videos. Definitely coming back for the next one!!

11:08 it doesn't have to be through book tho

I think there's also something to be said about Audibles other post of bookish ins and outs (saying 2x speed is out and 1x is in), as it promotes their "ideology" in a more direct way, especially when you take into account the fact that many people with disabilities, such as dyslexia, use the service for accessibility. And although it is a corporation, and it makes sense that they would promote an opinion that contributes to their prosperity as a business, they also have the responsibility to be aware of the impact what they say or promote has on their audience, negative or positive, especially when it comes to the fact that they make the speed of listening an option on their platform.

while i agree with pretty much everything a comment or something to think about - we cannot ignore the fact that many books that are coming out nowdays aren't just a bunch of (popular) tropes thrown together, sadly many authors are rushed to produce books very fast (publishing a sequel a year after the first book for example),, im not saying these books are bad or unenjoyable, im just saying we cant dive deeper into them because they literally don't go any deeper

When you say it’s a ‘boarding school romance’ some people that wouldn’t have looked at it twice might pick it up. When they’re reading, they’ll then be exposed to the deeper themes & messaging. It’s up to them what they take away from that. It gets it out to an audience that wouldn’t otherwise choose to read it, so I can’t see the harm at all

I think another problem people had with Powerless was the fact it was about genocide and Lauren did nothing with it. There was no real political discussion, the MCs had a Katara/Zuko type relationship, and the genocide itself wasn’t treated with as much care as that type of tragedy warrants. Among the plagiarism allegations I think this issue is the one that gets brushed over most. (But I know Powerless wasn’t the point of your video.)

i’ve only just come across your account through this video, and i absolutely love the way you discuss topics and explain things! great video ❤

The way I ran to put Katabasis on my wish list you only got to academic advisor and I was like 🏃🏼 🤣

This nigga said ‘a curveball outta left field’ 😂😂😂 but yeah it’s the only one I’ve finished and very different than the little bit of Babel I’ve read. I think I just like social media identity politics kinda content.

i actually feel like if the feedback is tasteful, tagging an author is fine, and even helpful. to understand their audience and improve their writing, hearing feedback is essential. however, when people are sending hate or a negative review that isn't helpful, tagging them is a no-no

Send them fourth wings by rebbeca yarros. They will surely come and end our misery by destroying this world after reading that book

There is way too much smut in books these days, sorry not sorry 😅

Castoff!!

Need to know where you got your sweater!!
