the best thing that happened to me in 2023 truly was finding your channel. you have introduced me to so many great books & other booktubers. love u sara
even though Haley isn't apart of book mark'd, I feel like y'all are the mark'd girlies though like all three of you are apart of the brand. Even if it's just Des and Sara, Haley is apart of mark'd too. YALL KNOW WHAT I MEEEEAN
Binding & Keeping 13 will forever stand as a top favorite of mine! I also love "I Fell In Love With Hope" by Lancalli. If a book can make me cry, I'm all in! lolol

Hi Sara! If you liked Renegades you HAVE to add the Lunar Chronicles series to your TBR, it’s just perfect. Princess retellings with found family and every single trope out there!!! Marissa Meyer is amazing. Been loving bookmas, keep up the good work girl you are amazing ❤❤❤
series' i hope sara reads next year :) 1) finishing the dirty air series 2) stalking jack the ripper 3) legendborn 4) the unbecoming of mara dyer 5) these violent delights
Honestly I remember earlier this year when I saw the author of powerless on TikTok and I saw her vids and her writing journey and she explained the plot and it sounded rlly good! And then is was surprised to hear that you ( Sara ) had read it and absolutely loved it! Because initially I thought not a lot of people knew abt this book 😅 although I am thinking of reading it since you convinced me!!❤
Okay so idk who cares enough to hear this but here is one thing I love doing each year as an idea for everyone reading this and I think it would be a cool video to seeee, anyways lol, basically as any book girl knows we have a tbr issue so December 1st you go to that beautiful stack of books and you choose one for each of your friends (it may be hard parting with so many unread books but be so fr when would we read them) and at the start you right them a note before reading it then while reading you highlight and annotate then at the end of the book you write a letter to them after reading it. What this does is force you to read your tbr and it’s free gifts for your friends since you already owned the books and it’s such a personal thing reading someone else’s annotated book it’s just great :) hope someone does thisss
My favorite books this year were Beach Read, Happy Place, Powerless by Lauren Roberts, ACOTAR, TOG, Dance of Thieves duology, Harry Potter series & Love and Other Words 🫶🏼
My favorite book series was the Shadow Demons Saga! The 11 books in the series so far are all 5 stars for me. There were so many twists and turns that I didn't expect. I can't wait for book 12 to be written and published so I can read it! I ordered book one of the other series she started a couple years ago called Witches Key which the author Sarra Cannon said she would write more for that series. I can't wait to read the first book! I'm so excited! Right now I'm reading a Court Of Thorns And Roses which I really like so far.
ngl i bought powerless after work today, just purely cause you raved about it. i was planning on only getting a xmas/festive book but i ended up getting that and powerless because i saw it and i could hear you talking about it in my mind. it was the last one in stock too
I’m so happy TOG is on your list! My favorites are One For My Enemy, The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea, Heartstopper, The Priory of the Orange Tree, and The Dollmaker of Krakow ❤ I would be so happy if you read any of them!
I went to the bookstores today and bought Powerless because of you!!! im excited to read it! I have to read Crooked Kingdom but im a little scared because i have heard the ending is sad
My favorites of the year, in no real order: The Other Side by Kim Holden (1st 6 star read of the year) Safe Harbor by K. Sinko (unexpectedly cried) Shadowlands trilogy by Kate Brian (went in way different direction than expected & blew my mind) The Naturals series by JLB (all of them) Franco by Kim Holden Red Queen series (especially 1st one; I'm close to the end of the 3rd now) Honorable mention to Reminders of Him
I just finished Powerless last night and I think it is in the top 10 of my fav books ever. Really can't wait for the second in the trilogy to release!!
im trying to work my way threw the TOG series and im lovinggggg it! and oh nooo about river enchanted I had high hopes for it on my tbr! ill still give it a chance but we rate everything mostly the same 😬
My favorite books of this year were The Housemaid series, The Ex Talk, Love & Other Words, People We Meet On Vacation, Beach Read and How to Fail At Flirting. 📚😋
this video was so fun to hear you so happy talking about your favorite books!!! this inspired me to make a list of 23 books i loved in 2023 too!! i’m almost done with it(i think i’ll need to add the MPU to it once i’m done!) and i’ll post in the discord at the end of the year! it was so fun to make the list so thank you for inspiring it!!!🩷
Wow, what an incredible journey through your reading list! It's refreshing to see a balanced perspective, and your insights will undoubtedly guide fellow readers in making their selections. Can't wait to check out some of your favorites and perhaps steer clear of the ones that didn't resonate.
Loved One Dark Window/ Two Twisted Crowns and The Prison Healer Trikogoy! I read The Prison Healer books all in one week. So good and definitely I would recommend-read both series!
omg I completely understand why you didn't like this woven kingdom (I didn't really either), but the second book!!!! is where it's at!!!! I promise you it gets so so much better!!!!
I am currently in my TOG era and I just ordered The Prison Healer to start when I'm done.... something about the winter and the holidays makes me want to read fantasy!! You gave me great recs😊
yay i love hearing ur reviews on books it helps me so much when im deciding what to read!!!! rn im reading the addicted series because of you and im loving it so much !!!!!!! 🤭🤭🤭🤭
The Magnolia Parks universe ❤❤❤ has my heart right now... its so damn good. Its funny, sad, amazing 😭 I can't believe I didn't read it sooner. I put it off for so long.
I read acotar this year so my favourites were mist and fury and silver flame but I’m getting the throne of glass series for Christmas so I can’t wait to start it
I read Beach Read by Emily Henry. I bought it on vacation in Germany, and I'm sad to say it has made me not want to read any more of hers. I was iffy about picking up Happy Place, but decided against it. I don't think her books are for me
I just read They Call Her Sofia by Doris Ladino and I loved it! It’s a romance book about healing and finding self love after being betrayed and manipulated. It’s sweet and spicy. The audiobook is very entertaining and easy to listen to. Overall , It’s a feel good book and fast read. Enjoy!
anyone else agree their day gets 1000x better when any of the book girlies post?
Meee agreeeee
100%
YESSS!! 🤭💓💓
That's meee
Yes I love it
Love how Sara says “ate that up” every book she talks about ❤️😂
Lol I actually found that a little annoying after a while. The visual is just a bit strange for me and she said it at least over half a dozen times.
the fact that the video is 23 minutes too?! iconic
the best thing that happened to me in 2023 truly was finding your channel. you have introduced me to so many great books & other booktubers. love u sara
even though Haley isn't apart of book mark'd, I feel like y'all are the mark'd girlies though like all three of you are apart of the brand. Even if it's just Des and Sara, Haley is apart of mark'd too. YALL KNOW WHAT I MEEEEAN
severely struggling to keep up with everyone’s bookmas 😭😭
girl same !!!
sameee
same😭
RIGHT 😭
who else are you following!! i need recs
Has anyone commented about this video being 23 minutes long 🤩 perfection
Was about to say this
I was looking for this comment!
i recently read magnolia parks long way home and gave it 5 stars and now i truly understand how you feel about this series and your love for it
seriously so excited to see what will be on your top 24 of 2024 like I actually need to know now.
Yours truly is literally so good words cannot express it
Binding & Keeping 13 will forever stand as a top favorite of mine! I also love "I Fell In Love With Hope" by Lancalli. If a book can make me cry, I'm all in! lolol
Same with me!! Binding 13 and Keeping 13 have actually impacted me so much and I am obsessed with ALL of the characters!!
@@lindseymcgowan5964 I can’t wait for Taming 7!!
literally put me in my biggest book slump, its my roman empire.
@@syoongkook RIGHT!? literally haven’t felt the same feelings as those books gave me. Sarah J Maas books came close, but not the same!
About to finish Daisy haites the great undoing and want to CRY! This series is my whole heart and soul.

Love! Love! BOOKMAS👏👏Thank you Sarah ❤
I’m reading Magnolia Parks the long way home soon but I’m scared because my sister read it and told me it has a strong cliffhanger 😭
I just read They Call Her Sofia by Doris Ladino and I loved it! It’s a romance book about healing and finding self love after being betrayed and manipulated. It’s sweet and spicy. The audiobook is very entertaining and easy to listen to. Overall , It’s a feel good book and fast read. Enjoy!
Powerless is my favorite too❤️
