      I agree. I feel like she shows the real her and that's what some youtubers lack. It makes it so much more real and personal, as if she's a friend that's talking to me about the books she's read, just needing to rant. This is kind of how me and my friends discuss books, the energy is the same.

    Credence was the first book I’d ever read that wasn’t a straight forward romance between two people (which I’ve always preferred cos TOO much conflict really puts me off) and I was shocked with how much I adored it! The idea of her being involved with all three guys intrigued me but didn’t expect to be as fascinated as I was and opened my world up to more complex romance, like reverse harems and poly romances

    Credence was one of my absolute favorites of the year!!! It's definitely been a crazy crazy year, but I have never read more and I have found so many amazing stories. I just started watching your videos but I love seeing our books and reading line up a lot, but also getting to discover ones I have not yet found. Sometimes I go into a goodreads vortex and just keep reading these suggested books, so I am also really glad you have a goodreads to follow. Thank you for these videos

    Hey,I’m watching you for quite some time now and I like you so much❤️.Your vibe,energy and also for being you.🥰
    You are the reason why I started to read books in English (which I supposed would be very difficult and unpleasant because my language is Romanian).I have learned English in school but I thought it will be unenjoyable reading in a another language.
    So thank you for making me start reading in English and pushing myself.
    I have read almost all the books you recommended and I get so excited whenever you post.
    Sending you lots of love 💕

    I just wanna say that I’m a new subscriber this year. What I like about you and your channel is that your personality is so refreshing. You are unique to the other booktubers that I watch and you recommend books that I will almost never find anywhere else on UA-cam. I know that you have said that you started your channel b/c you are lonely and I honestly feel that when I watch your videos or your IG stories, that I’m connecting with a friend b/c sometimes I feel lonely as well. So... thank you so much for your unapologetic opinionated/say what’s on your mind personality. Stay true to you and let’s hope that next year is better for all of us!!!
