Welcome to my cozy Booktube channel!
I'm Nina, and I got back into reading in 2020 and have loved making content related to it on my other channel, Neon Frills, but decided it was time to give my love of reading its own spotlight! Here I plan on doing Reading Vlogs, Reading wrap ups, Book Hauls, monthly or seasonal TBRs, and other videos discussing book trends. Besides reading, I also enjoy sewing, journaling, playing Pokemon Go and taking care of my elderly Siamese Georgie 😽.
I hope you'll join me!

Reviewing Popular Booktok Books - Are these Hyped Books worth it?
Have you read A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske? Its a gay historical fantasy trilogy. I loved it
Yes I have! I read the 3rd one in the series in my first finishing every series reading vlog on my channel!
@@NinasLibrary the first was my favorite, but I loved them all. Poor sweet Edwin deserves everything and I was so mad FOR him!
you're so cute and you kinda look like emma stone! I love the video, I wish it had a soundtrack playing all the time in the background ❤
Omg that's so sweet of you to say!!
I freaking love Libby! I must have saved hundreds if not thousands of dollars😂 and generally once I've read a book I don't want to buy it. So the ones I buy are heavily researched and bought discounted when I can, otherwise give me that library vibe!
So true!! Libby has saved me so much. I've been wanting to get more into only buying books after I've read and loved them so I know I'll actually have shelves full of books I love, but its a WIP 😂
LIBBY IS MY JAM!!! I still use my Houston library card and they have sooo much available on there, I miss that library system so much 😭
HECK YEAH and we love keeping up old library cards, although I think they only last 3 years before you have to renew them 😢
@@NinasLibrary I knooooow 😭 thankfully my parents still live there so I can hopefully milk it a lil longer 🥲
What is the most romantic book that you have read that gave you chills when you read it?
Omg SUCH a hard question!! Probably one of the most tragically romantic books has been the Song of Achilles, but a lot of the 4.5 and 5 star romances I've read are because I find them very romantic.
I was so excited to watch this!! I adore this book, going from hating snow to loving him constantly was such an experience 😂 I’m so glad you enjoyed the book!!
Yes, it's so good! Snow is such a little 🤬 but I can't help but love him for it!
Lovely video. Much love from the Caribbean Island of Trinidad and Tobago ❤
Thank you so much! 💗
Nice
Nice
I hope the book is better than the movie for Queen of the Damned
❤
Nice
05:00 I think it's more the lack of internal monologue. Jennifer Lawrence played true to the book that Katniss keeps everything internal most of the time.
Nice review!! I'm so excited to hear your thoughts at the Heroes of Olympus series too
Thanks so much! I'm very excited to start that series!
What were your tabs labeled as?
Nice
I re-read the series a few months ago for the first time in maybe a decade, and it's crazy how good they still are as an adult. I too am a Katniss x Peeta stan and also sobbed while re-reading Mockingjay 😭 I still need to read the Ballad prequel, and now another prequel set around the second quarter quell was just announced which I'm SO excited for! Hunger Games fans are getting fed (no pun intended) all these years later 🙌
Same!! I'm currently reading Ballad now and loving it! And I'm so excited that we are getting more books; march next year can't come soon enough! 😭
Don't want you like a best friend has been on my tbr for a minute but I just got it and im so excited!! you have such good taste!
I prefer whatch reviews after reading the books actually... to see what the person is talking about, what they think of the storie than to know a new book...
i read them as they came out and reread them during the pandemic and was utterly happy that they were as good as i remembered maybe even better bc truly there so much i know about the world now that made it more real and heartbreaking. truly amazing books
I just want to say that your obs about the capitol citizens being ok with children murder and being terrified with the death of a unborn baby is on point. It's so frustrating when a dystrophy feels just like our reality..
And nice to meet you \o
Interesting question! It's always fascinating to explore evolving attitudes toward book reviews. Thanks for sparking this thought-provoking conversation!
Can I just recommend the last binding trilogy by Freya Marsk, to like everyone (but specifically people who like queer historical romance, with added fantasy)
Yes!! I've read those books and talked about them on my channel a few times now!
@@NinasLibrary I saw right after I left the comment!! I just take every chance I get to mention them!!!
I also notice this tendency towards recs/reactions instead of reviews especially in short form content but I feel like the book award side of booktube still does book review videos.
Yea I agree w/ this a lot - shorts / tik tok has made ppl brain rot & not just phrases but also w/ attention spans . So sometimes ppl don’t even READ the recommended books , but want to . They litterally can’t tho bc they want onto the next onto the next Ahh stuff (Also not saying I ain’t a victim of this sometimes lmao , I ain’t no saint)
Yes!! I like TBRs as a way to find new books, but at least when I'm making recommendation posts, I want to do a mix of things I've already read and liked, plus any books I want to read that I think I'll enjoy, so I have some background on the books to talk about.
Was so excited to watch this then I read the description 😔
I read these books a little bit before I found out about the first movie coming out. November/December 2011. I had no spoilers for the trilogy, so imagine finishing Mockingjay just as I'm supposed to go the a Christmas party at my sister's new husband's family. Like how can I act like I'm happy about Christmas when i literally just finished Mockingjay less than an hour ago 😭😭😭
Ugh that hurts so bad 😔 Even knowing what happens in the end it still destroys you emotionally so I can't imagine how bad it would be not having those spoilers
@@NinasLibrary , it's hits different when you don't know. You're not bracing for impact.
first off i love your hair!! just had to get that out of the way lmao. i TOTALLY agree with you that there should be a novella (i for one want a full book exploring their past as well) for the parents in Don’t Want You Like A Best Friend!!! the little snippets we got of their past and present played with my heart so much wnwnskdkkd YOU DEF NEED TO READ THE NEXT DOOMSDAY BOOK!!! i gave the first one 3 stars but i gave A Nobleman’s Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel 5! it’s so great and LUKE ALL GROWN UP and how it ties into the first one is so amazing, it’s one of my favs of the year so far! i hope you enjoy if/when you ever get to it!!! you mentioned you’ve read other KJ Charles books but if you haven’t already read The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting you should! it’s what sparked my interest in queer historical romance & i’ve reread it twice this year so far lmao -- i’m new to the genre and i remember you mentioned Cat Sebastian but i also wanna rec You Should Be So Lucky by her!! it just came out recently and is amazing! one of my favs of the year as well lol
OMG!! Thank you so much for the compliment and all the recs! Yes i'll definitely be reading the second Doomsday book! I'd love to see Luke as he develops from a shy teen to a young man, and see any cameos Joss and Gareth have 🤞 I've only read one other series by KJ Charles so I'm definitely going to look at more of her backlog. Same with Cat Sebastian; I've only read one other of her books, and wasn't sure about You Should be so Lucky bc I usually don't read historical fiction sooner than like, 1910?? But if its good I'll have to add it to the list lol
already looking to download this books great video btw ♡
I hope you enjoy them!
love love love this video! Queer historical romances are top tier 🥰
A crime was committed when creating the cover for A Rulebook for Restless Rouges
I know!!! The one thing stopping me from actually buying a copy (although maybe I could re-bind it? 🤔) It does give me hope to not judge so many books by their covers and take a chance on more ugly ones to find the gems inside LOL
been wanting to get glass straws for a while now but i feel like i just don't really need them because i have metal straws already.... and i'm so scared i might break the glass ones one day LOL
Lol I get you!! TBH I'll take any reusable straw as long as it has a bend in it.. that somehow makes it more fancy
your looking really beautiful.😍
The Absinthe Underground edition 😍😍😍 I have never heard of this book but it is now on my radar. But wait, lesbian YA fantasy?! Now I'm sold
I knowwwww I hope the inside is as good as the cover is!!
I read these in middle school, and then again recently, but I never made the connection on the Capitols opinion on expecting mothers vs mothers with children! Definitely art reflecting life there
I know! Suzanne Collins really knew what she was doing in all her thematic work
This is such a cute video! I loooved The Folk of Air Trilogy I'm so glad you enjoyed this series too! We looove Jude
Thanks so much! Yes, in this house we stan our Queen Jude Duarte 👑🍃
Omg that part you said about the activation energy in 6:22....... I feel so SEEN jksdhfksd I struggle so much with just getting myself to START reading because it's such an active/non-passive activity, so it's always just a matter of getting myself in the zone!
LOL I'm glad it was relatable! I always feel like I'm kicking myself afterwards thinking "this was so easy I should've started sooner!" I think another way to get started is to set a pomodoro timer, bc I will tell myself "it's just 25 mins it's not that long" and then I can read more after that if I'm feeling it!
This video should so many views! This advice was really helpful to hear. I keep reading books based off what other people love but but then I’m dragging my feet through it. Also fast reading isn’t quality reading! Someone finally said it lol.
Aww thanks so much! I personally think it's fun to read popular books to get involved in the fandom, but if you're not having a good time, then ditch it 😂 Glad to know my "hot take" about reading less was felt by someone else 🔥
Wow, I just started reading again, I got a kindle like a week ago, and these tips are so helpful!! Thank you
Thanks so much!! I hope your enjoy your kindle
the first one sounds great adding it to my TBR 😇
what a coincidence, i started the Belladonna audiobook a few days ago! and you're so right, the narrator is wonderful and her voices are SO distinct, it's incredible. and great video! i haven't seen anyone else recommending audiobooks like this
thanks so much!! I hope you end up liking Belladonna~
I've been wanting to listen to more audiobooks and these recommendations sound really great. I'm definitely going to have to check some of them out!
Woohoo! Happy to help, I hope you enjoy!
i don't read but you have a nice voice
dude i LOVE tbr prompts! as a mood reader sometimes i struggle to pick a book when im not in the mood for anything specific and the prompts make my life so much easier. i actually made a list of prompts to complete throughout the year and im gonna add some that you used in this video 😋
I'm in the very same boat as a mood reader and my large TBR giving me decision fatigue, so this was a fun way to narrow things down! I hope you have fun completing your lists over the year 😋
This is such a fun way of picking books to read! I hope you enjoy all the books Xx
Thanks so much!
thanks for the video i did love this series
Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed it!
I loved this review sm as a massive pjo fan!! It reminds me a lot of the same thoughts I had while reading the books for the first time
Omg!! I'm glad I did the series justice as a new fan
I was lowkey nervous to watch this because this series is SO near and dear to my heart and I love Rick as an author (I swear I reread the entire series every 1-2 years haha). Apollo was my first book crush LMAO. Nico's story hits me SO so hard - breaks my heart. So glad you enjoyed the series!! (Also side note those special editions are STUNNING!!)
LOL I never would've trashed them knowing how much they mean to you!! And every Percabeth moment I was thinking about you LOL. Apollo is a good first crush ngl bc he's cringe but also charming.
@@NinasLibrary LOL I am so so glad, the under water scene always has me SCREAMING hehehe 😂 I completely agree! 11 year old me the first time was like 😍😂
The Song of Achilles toyally busted me out of my reading slump until Spotify emailed me saying I used up my audiobook hours for the month 🥲
Noooo it's so good tho!! I need to try out spotify as a way to get audiobooks ngl.
@@NinasLibrary it only lets you have 15 hours even if you're already paying for premium so you have to choose wisely 😔
you made it to my reccomeded and im so grateful tysm ur amazing
Woohoo! Thanks for stopping by ☺️
