I live in a non-English speaking country, therefore almost none of the popular books are at the library :// I read them as e-books tho, so I also dont buy them
So we can write in them and keep them if we want to❤️ also ur supporting authors when buying & there’s already such long waits on popular books so if you can buy it why not 🤷🏻♀️
I was worried to read the song of achilles too but it treats the mythology in the book as if it is its own story, as in it explains everything just like any other fiction book, so you don't need to know anything about greek mythology before reading it. It's one of my fave books, hope you enjoy it!
2:00 dont worry about greek mythology at all! everything you need to know is explained, tbh it wont even feel unknown, at the end you also have short descriptions of characters that are mentioned if you ever get lost cuz there are quite a few names. the writing style is just phenomenal yet simple. i loved this book so i hope you’ll like it too
Before you read Malibu Rising go check out Daisy Jones and the Six also by Taylor Jenkins Reid. These two books as well as the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo are all set in the same universe with the common factor being the character Mick Riva(whose family is what Malibu Rising is about). I personally also felt the same way about the Seven Husbands but Daisy Jones was AMAZING!! I literally loved it so much. Anyways thanks for coming to my TED talk lol. ps. The order I would read them in is 1. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo 2. Daisy Jones and the Six 3. Malibu Rising
Also if you enjoyed midnight library you’ll probably like before the coffee gets cold, it’s a little different but the same ‘unrealistic’ compartment without it being to unrealistic to imagine:)
Your library is SOOO GOOD WHAT?? I seriously went to my library today and there were none of the books that I really wanted to read e.g. song of Achilles, beach read etc. but books that I’ve never heard of lmao
I loved the song of achilles, it’s one of my favorite books. i went into the book with no expectations and no knowledge about greek mythology. it’s a beautiful book. if i could experience reading a book again for the first time, that would be the book
Love the mini-summaries of the books you give. A lot of books I get recommended I just add to my Goodreads and base off of the very vague description on the back of the book. (didn't even know what "The Song of Achilles" was about, but knew I wanted it from the little I had read about it.)
So glad everyone seems to be picking up The Alchemist these days. I can’t wait to hear your opinions on it. It’s a favorite of mine and it’s great for re-reading. Into Thin Air is great, too. If you end up liking Jon Krakauer’s writing style, I highly recommend Into the Wild.
I finished all your perfects yesterday and girl that book is an absolute rollercoaster of emotions but it’s so freaking worth it! It was my 7th book of 2022 and my second best book so far I absolutely love it!
You should make Verity your next Colleen Hoover read! It’s sooooo good! Disturbing but good. I still think about the ending months after I finished it. 🤔😂
Love this book haul!! Definitely will put some of those books on my tbr list :) also one true loves and maybe in another life both by Taylor Jenkins Reid are really good books and I love them💗
I love the song of Achilles I also thought I wasn't going to like it but i was wrong. I'm currently reading Circe and I'm enjoying it too. I totally recommend it too!
Maybe Someday was the first book I read of Hoovers and I’m pretty hard to impress when it comes to romance, it doesn’t tend to be my style, but that book blew me away. If you’re not a fan of love triangles, I found that specific trope to be a little one-sided, landing more in the favor of the reader in my opinion.
I just watched your bookshelf video then I found this one and now I’m subscribed-yayyy!! Love them! You Deserve Each Other was my favorite book of last year-hope you enjoy it too!!
I just finished the song of Achilles. I liked it but didn’t love it. I think I had too high expectations and that destroyed it a bit. So just go in with no expectations and no pressure to like it ( like no need to like it). Just enjoy the read and chill down, than it’s a wayyy better I guess. So have fun to read it…
Great video! I’m also looking at getting song of archilles and was a bit skeptical whether I’ll enjoy the Greek mythology but I’ve heard so many great reviews of it so it’s on my wish list.
Ok if your going to read Song of Achilles then I would read it with the audiobook bc it makes it so much better and I have dyslexia and had a hard time reading some of the words so it helped a lot and make the experience 10 times better
The yellow stripe on the spine are library books and they are borrowed from the library so I will have to return them in a few weeks (unless no one has a hold on them after me then I can renew them longer!).
If you’re on a ya mystery book kick, I totally recommend Natalie D. Richards! She has some great ya mystery/thriller books with a nice sub genre of romance in them! All the books I’ve read by her have been 4/5 stars so far :)
Maybe Someday is not a good book. 😬 I don’t recommend. The writing is amazing cause it’s Hoover but I didn’t like any of the characters or the plot which was sad because I had high hopes. You should still give it a shot tho, just don’t go into it with high expectations. 🧡
can someone convince me to buy maybe someday? 😭!!! i finished all yoir perfects yesterday but MAYBE SOMEDAY isn't just on my list right now but i wanna get it tho...
I will say as much as I love song of Achilles there is definitely parts that could have been better but you don’t have to know a lot about Greek mythology or like Greek mythology a ton to enjoy it
ISNSISJSI YOURE A JACK EDWARDS FAN (also the song of achilles is probably even better than the harry potter books, i find it better written, it’s clearly not as original as harry potter, because it is greek mythology. but as a HUGE harry potter marauders era fan, the song of achilles is better)
I'm trying to get into Colleen Hoover. She tells a really good, unique story, but in the three books of hers, the endings were never as amazing as the rest of the book. It Ends With Us was all about little details and is my favorite CoHo book, but I hated Ugly Love. Not trying to spoil anything, but incest isn't really my thing and I'm not sure why Ugly Love is hyped up so much...
I absolutely hated the alchemist which I read a few years ago so my memory is foggy on it but nevertheless, I remember reading this one quote about the female love interest regarding the main man protagonist: your destiny and purpose is to wait for him and serve//support him (something along those lines) and that just put me over the edge. The representation of Muslim people and Islam was also so inaccurate and appalling it felt as if Paulo did zero research before writing about the Muslim character and the entire book felt like a mash of Pinterest quotes with palm tree wallpapers in the background. You can give it a try but I wouldn’t ever recommend it.
Finally a booktuber who actually uses their local library! I don’t understand why people buy them when they are at the library 🧐
yessss I try and get as many books as I can from the library!
I live in a non-English speaking country, therefore almost none of the popular books are at the library :// I read them as e-books tho, so I also dont buy them
i personally like to buy books to re read time and time again but i have a second hand book store that i try to buy from
So we can write in them and keep them if we want to❤️ also ur supporting authors when buying & there’s already such long waits on popular books so if you can buy it why not 🤷🏻♀️
1. Some of us like collecting books. Reading and collecting books are two different hobbies
2. Not everyone has local libraries near where they live
I was worried to read the song of achilles too but it treats the mythology in the book as if it is its own story, as in it explains everything just like any other fiction book, so you don't need to know anything about greek mythology before reading it. It's one of my fave books, hope you enjoy it!
I read just over 60 pages of it and i didn’t understand like any of it, does it get more understandable after that?
@@molly9188 I haven’t read it in a while, but I think once all the main mythology is explained it does become easier to understand
@@lkey2788 thank you! I’ll definitely have to give it another go soon
I am having a hard time getting into it. I got to chapter 3 and I could not get myself to pick it up again.. I will try it again
2:00 dont worry about greek mythology at all! everything you need to know is explained, tbh it wont even feel unknown, at the end you also have short descriptions of characters that are mentioned if you ever get lost cuz there are quite a few names. the writing style is just phenomenal yet simple. i loved this book so i hope you’ll like it too
The books sound so good i"ve just added them all to my tbr
Obsessed with The Alchemist! I read it in my Spanish class a long time ago and it’s definitely an essential read and reread! ❤️

Why does the title sound so cute yet kinda dark hahah I want to check it out too
Your library is SOOO GOOD WHAT?? I seriously went to my library today and there were none of the books that I really wanted to read e.g. song of Achilles, beach read etc. but books that I’ve never heard of lmao
same as me!! i can NEVER find popular books lol
I loved the song of achilles, it’s one of my favorite books. i went into the book with no expectations and no knowledge about greek mythology. it’s a beautiful book. if i could experience reading a book again for the first time, that would be the book

Into Thin Air is great, too. If you end up liking Jon Krakauer’s writing style, I highly recommend Into the Wild.
I’ve recently discovered your channel and I’m just in love! Have a great new year :)
love the book haul! i remember reading into thin air my freshman year of highschool!! it’s a good one!!
always check target and walmart book section!! i was on a hold list for ugly love and the next day i found it at walmart!
I finished all your perfects yesterday and girl that book is an absolute rollercoaster of emotions but it’s so freaking worth it! It was my 7th book of 2022 and my second best book so far I absolutely love it!
Watch one was ur fav?
7TH 7TH!!! OMG HOW JUST HOW
You should make Verity your next Colleen Hoover read! It’s sooooo good! Disturbing but good. I still think about the ending months after I finished it. 🤔😂
Same!!!
Sameeeee
Have you read Reminders of You by Colleen Hoover? I cried at the ending 😭
You should read one true loves by Taylor Jenkins Reid. I love it so much ☺️
Love this book haul!! Definitely will put some of those books on my tbr list :) also one true loves and maybe in another life both by Taylor Jenkins Reid are really good books and I love them💗
I love the song of Achilles I also thought I wasn't going to like it but i was wrong. I'm currently reading Circe and I'm enjoying it too. I totally recommend it too!
I read Achilles last year and just read Circe the other day and I love them both so much 😭😭
I just discovered your channel and immediately subscribed!
Im so glad I've found it, I love ur vids ❤️
I love your videos they are so comforting! I watch you at night right before I read

Great video! I’m also looking at getting song of archilles and was a bit skeptical whether I’ll enjoy the Greek mythology but I’ve heard so many great reviews of it so it’s on my wish list.
I recommend the book Our Souls at Night by Kent Haruf
Ok if your going to read Song of Achilles then I would read it with the audiobook bc it makes it so much better and I have dyslexia and had a hard time reading some of the words so it helped a lot and make the experience 10 times better
Yay! This sound like awesome books!
maybe someday is actually a series too, but it can be read as a standalone! the other books are maybe not and maybe now
I live so close to austin, I wanna be friends and go book shopping together so bad!
omg I had the same experience with the 7 husbands of Evelyn Hugo and I was kinda relieved cause I thought I was weird or something for not loving it 😭
Literally... SO MANY BOOKS!
I HIGHLY recommend Reminders of You by Colleen Hoover!!!!
i added like half of these to my tbr haha!
Are the books you get from the Library (the ones with the yellow strip on the spine) ones you now own? Or borrow?
The yellow stripe on the spine are library books and they are borrowed from the library so I will have to return them in a few weeks (unless no one has a hold on them after me then I can renew them longer!).
You should really check out Eric Walters he has some really amazing YA stories!
If you’re on a ya mystery book kick, I totally recommend Natalie D. Richards! She has some great ya mystery/thriller books with a nice sub genre of romance in them! All the books I’ve read by her have been 4/5 stars so far :)
yesssss i so agree
Maybe Someday is not a good book. 😬 I don’t recommend. The writing is amazing cause it’s Hoover but I didn’t like any of the characters or the plot which was sad because I had high hopes. You should still give it a shot tho, just don’t go into it with high expectations. 🧡
Does anyone know where to get books for cheep cuz I'm broke😅😅
The alchemist is my favorite novel! I hope you enjoy it. You got a new subscriber here
maybe someday is SOOO good
the song of achillies was good and the mythology was easy to understand but to me it genuinely wasnt sad and i didnt feel anything
Now I wanna spend all my money on new books and I have like 8 books that I Stil have to read

I just posted my first video and im rating books and now i wanna read a lot of these books!

ISNSISJSI YOURE A JACK EDWARDS FAN
(also the song of achilles is probably even better than the harry potter books, i find it better written, it’s clearly not as original as harry potter, because it is greek mythology. but as a HUGE harry potter marauders era fan, the song of achilles is better)
lmaooooooooo... i bought around 90 books and theyre mostly series.. it feel so good to buy the books but bad when i see my bank account...
IF you need trigger warnings I would check them for long shot. Really good book but not for everyone..
Amazing
