    Bless you for doing this. There was a time in my life when my food,clothes and other needs were met because of caring and kind strangers like yourself. You're a gift and it means more than you know to someone who could only ever imagine getting a book in good condition and popular!

    My favorite lil book fairy 🧚‍♂️ I just love watching your videos. Your vibe is always such a breath of fresh air. I’m so proud of your UA-cam journey. I still loved watching your Walmart clothing hauls back in the day *wink* To see you go from a neutral girlie with creams and beiges to a beautiful kaleidoscope of color, warms my heart 💜 Thanks for providing people with the opportunity to escape their reality through the joy of reading 🥰🥰🥰

    Love this idea! I’ve been trying to get through my physical TBR and every time I finish a book and I know I won’t want to reread it, I put it in a little library 😊 little libraries are my favorite way to grow my TBR too! Between the regular library, little libraries, and Libby; I don’t remember the last time I bought a book haha. Love the idea to thrift books for the little libraries though! I’ll have to do that soon 💕

    Love this idea - you have inspired me to unhaul some of my books (especially now that my reading tastes of changed)! For fantasy recs, I would say "Legends & Lattes", "Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Fairies", "The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches", "The Night Circus", "The House in the Cerulean Sea", and "Divine Rivals". All of these are accessible and enjoyable for most people.

    You could look into cozy fantasy, I’m not sure how new or old it is, but that’s definitely a thing now. Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree is one I can think of. I’ve heard mixed reviews but more good than bad. Also YA fantasy is a little more digestible too.

    Loved the video! And btw your dress is gorgeous. I love the fact that you chose a variety of books to donate but i was wondering if you could also include some gay romance books? I feel like it would benefit especially people that might be in the closet since it can be nerveracking going to the store and buying those kinds of books themselves. I dont mean any harm with this comment, i just wanted to make a suggestion.🥰✨️ what you do is an amazing thing regardless of the books you chose to donate.💕

    Why wouldn't you put any type of fantasy in there? Everyone has such different preferences. It shouldn't matter what type of book is put in there because someone will end up liking/loving it. I love fantasy and I'll read any type of fantasy.
    Though i am happy there is someone out there who just wants to give to everyone and let people have the opportunity to read.

      (Aka way to many things but this is all I can think of right now.) Honestly, just look up booktok fantasy books and you'll find what most people want right now. I prefer to find recs lesser known but most of the things I've written down are more well known and/or newer releases.
      Plus like I said, what's good to someone will be bad to another so even if you randomly choose a book in a book store to put into a free little library someone will most likely find the home it was meant to be in.
