Not the uncle from the “credence” video just chillin on the wall 😂
spoils of war
@@newlynova 🤣
he is family now💞😭
i’ve been trying to put him behind 😂
Having read the entire SCYTHE trilogy, I can honestly say that you're in for a treat. It's one of my favorite sci-fi series.
Agreed!!
god its such a good series, the last book is somehow my favorite
Scythe was my top book of last year out of 78 books!!! High praise!
I clicked on this video for Scythe in the thumbnail!! I'm not lying when I say this series actuality changed my life and how I think about the world
Fr omg I remember reading in between classes as a high school freshman and the twist in the first book had me so good truly those were simpler times 😮💨🤌🤌
"time period unknown" instantly took me back to the absolutely iconic "central america: country unknown" 😅
Girl I need a bookshelf tour pleaseeeee, also… I love your content. It’s so hard to find a girl that reads that many genres and doesn’t stick only to romance books so I’m so happy that you open the door to the other women in booktube.
I don’t you’re trying very hard if you’re trying to find girls who read non romance genres
@@Winstar66 why? I don’t only read romance books so I know there’s girlies out there who do it too
I highly recommend checking out some creators like cari can read, throne of pages, and the book Leo! They always check out different genres of books and even got me into new genres myself like Classics and getting back into Danmei. Honestly it’s so hard to find channels like these that DO read other stories outside of just romance
@@screamingbean7509 thanks for the recommendations! I’m subscribed to the book Leo but I unsubscribed Cari can read because of the scandal she had with another girl:( but anyways I will check out throne of pages, thank you.
My favorite thing about library at Mount Char is that the author’s only previous published work is a Linux manual from 2001
i was literally just scrolling trying to find something to watch. thank you for pulling me from the throes of perpetual boredom 🙏🏽
The Scythe series is a rare YA dystopia that maintains quality and perhaps even gets better after the first book.
no literally like i was seeing people talking about how bride was omegaverse and then when I was reading it I had the same reaction!! like it was INCREDIBLY tame compared to the things I was reading at like 11 years old 😭
which im happy abt bc its my first omegaverse book 😭😭 ali hazelwood could get me to read anything
HIGHLY recommend Anxious People by Fredrik Backman. It’s hilarious, which is so rogue from the writer who brought us Beartown, but also so tender and still comes with all the wisdom and depth that you’d expect from him.
I’m sure you’re aware of its existence but if you needed a sign to shift it up the TBR, it literally revived me to personhood.
I SECOND THIS anxious people pulled me out of a massive reading slump. The message is so heartfelt and all the characters have a little place in my heart
yes i fully intend on reading this i LOVE fredrik backman
Anxious People is one of my favorite books ever!
I wouldn’t say books akin to Anxious People is “rogue” for Fredrik Backman. I’d say most of his books are more similar to anxious people than to Beartown, and that Beartown is the outlier (and my favourite)
“I really no lifed it this month” is how I want to live. Reading all day every day.
I love that we both LOVE Ali Hazelwood without ANY embarrassment because I am in love with her books
Scythe radicalized me in middle school, such a fantastic series! So glad people are still reading it and loving it.
Sythe Curie is my favourite character and I love her in the second book
I end up reading scythe series since the author came to my school to sign the short stories book for this series. I wasn’t planning on reading the series or buying the short story until my teacher gave me the short stories for free and then I read the whole series before he came. Now it’s the only book I ever gotten signed.
I LOVEEE the dinosaur top
shout out nessie fr 🤧 (it is from knock thrice)
@@newlynova oh Nessie! Tysm *runs to website*
I just wanted to say, I just recently found your channel and I have watched basically all of your videos. I love your content and I find it so relatable and relaxing just to watch you. You have helped me out of a super major reading slump too so thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻
🫶🫶🫶
why is youre voice so calming omg
I love that your voice sounds like it's in 1.5 speed chefs kiss
your commentary on scott hawkins is the most on point and accurate response like what is in that man's head it cannot be normal. I was personally confused the whole time but having read gideon the ninth first was very happy to cruise along while totally lost until things started clicking.
Not me checking this page legit everyday to see if Lexi uploaded again! Not pressuring just hoping you are doing okay and taking care of YOURself ❤
Can you make a video about your notion spreadsheet for your books please 😭 in one of your videos you showed a screenshot of it for a second and I made me own after I saw that but I’m sooo curious about how you organize yours
Before I Let Go was one of my instant favourites last year!
Apparently the author is planning to release another book set in the same "world" as Before I let Go, so I cannot be more excited :)
It came out today 🎉
love that uncle jake is still up there
my day is mid no more
Can confirm, the Scythe AI is really just doin its best thru all three books. I hope you continue the series! It's one of my favorite series I've read, which is not to say that it's perfect but it is just such a solid series and all of the books are bangers imo
Absolutely adore the Scythe series! I recently just finished the series and love all the books, but I think the second book, the Thunderhead, was my favorite. It really helped me out of a reading slump.
I was rewatching your old videos and then boom a new one 🥳🥳🥳
Finally!!! Love for Library at Mount Char!!!! I’m so glad you loved it
The scythe trilogy is AMAZING!
My god, if I wasn't subscribed before your Bride review, I would be after! Our feelings on the author, the politics, the banter, the not-too-heavy on the omega-verse type stuff-- we are on the exact same page. I really love your videos and I'm so glad I found them!
My day brightened when I saw this notification 😊
lexi!!! you talking about how fantastical betty was makes me think you'd LOVE "i'll give you the sun" BANGER of a book if i do say so myself
I love scythe AAAAAAHHH
Listen, I love the scythe series. I liked book one but, can I just say book two and three are down right wild. Like… I can’t even figure out how we got from point a to point b but I loved every moment of it.❤❤ it’s a treat and i hope to reread it at some point this year ❤😂
That plot is absolutely HAYWIRE but Neal pulls it off like he always does
Scythe is SO good! Once you finish the trilogy, definitely check out the fourth side book (Gleanings)
*sighs* adds more books to my TBR
Your wrap ups always end up convincing me to try books I overlooked the first few times I came across them or never even saw. Expanding my horizons lol
I totally agree with Paper Palace!
Lexi, I have been bingeing your videos for the last full week and I JUST realized you’re less than 200k subs! I would have expected you to be a very large UA-camr because you are brilliant and I love hearing your thoughts. Genuinely I believe within a few years you’ll be at 1M+
Keep up the great work ♥️
Was just refreshing my subscriptions looking for something to watch on my lunch break, thank you for blessing our feeds today 🙏
YT recommended your channel to me for your long form book summaries (Credence sure was a ride) but i just started checking out your monthly recap reviews and theyre great!
If you have time or the want for it, would love to hear you talk even more at length about specific novels. Hope this month is a great one for you!
i just want you to know how much joy your videos bring me, that’s it 😚
My book club LOVED Library of Mount Char and it’s so hard to find something to give a similar feeling because it’s so bonkers (but also agree with the critique!)
I love listening to your videos while I’m working and this video released literally just as my shift started, which is perfect!!
I love when you post, so I can have a new video to rewatch 10 times 🙌🏾
love how betty has her own shelf!! as she deserves
You and another channel made my day with new book videos. ❤️
OMG your hair is perfect... the bangs, the color, the curls... It's so pretty 💛
my fave person on the internet for all bookish stuff
I LOVE SCYTHE SOO MUCH!! it’s such a good trilogy
every single video you make is just a banger im obsessed
the way u review books is so so so fun to listen to. it’s blizzarding where i’m at and i’m bingeing ur videos haha. thanks for spending my snow day with me!
im loving the visual of your videos, kinda addict in seeing all of them
I recently found your channel and you’ve really helped me get out of a slump. I love the content you make.
You love the way you describe books 💖
LEXIIII hi omg i love hearing you speak about books ❤
Omg Before I Let Go is one of my favorites ❤ sooo good! I think it felt much more mature of a romance book and has set my standards way higher lol
Just found your channel and i love this! Your reveiws and book choices are immaculate
love the uncle jake pic on the wall from credence😂
Per your recommendation I am currently reading Betty and I am 250 pages in. I absolutely love your vibes and the culture of your videos. You Rock! ❤️
Please please please do a video on how you review books. Your reviews are always so well thought out and eloquent. I would love to get insight into your thought process when you're reviewing a book
I’ve just been watching through all your videos and man, your earring game is on point
I'm so glad you liked The Library On Mount Char (and had the same issues with it), I love weird, bizarre stories like that. If you want more weird stuff I recommend Leonora Carrington's complete stories, it's a bunch of funny, strange surrealistic tales, I had so much fun reading them.
The Library at Mount Char is absolutely fantastic, I adored it- I've been meaning to read it again, so I'm seeing this as a sign
it is always a joyous day when i'm able to watch one of your videos 🎉🌞🌟 thank you for making work more bearable and giving me some new books to check out!!!
Im eating these videos up, you have become my primary source of book recommendations
just rlly needed this rn
I’m so glad to hear good things about Before I Let Go! That’s my next read from the library.
i hope you love it
I really enjoyed Scythe! I felt the need to tell everyone around me at the time because of how fresh it felt, and how I felt it encapsulated the concept of what makes a dystopia... a dystopia. Looking forward to seeing your thoughts on the rest of the series!
Thank you for putting out a video before my blood donation appointment because I was lowkey stressing until I saw this at the top of my subscription box
Truly a great day when a video pops up ❤
My TBR truly grows longer and longer after every one of your videos!
Scythe gets even better with part 2 and 3!!
I love your channel!! I am reading more books now cause of you!
First time coming across your videos . I am in love with the way you talk .
Just had a really shitty day and immediately felt a bit better when i saw you uploaded. We love u lexi❤
Ugh I was reading Scythe as it came out and I looooved it more than I can put into words. I’m so excited you’re getting into it. I think the 2nd book is by far the absolute best 2nd book of any series I’ve ever read. It lives in my head rent free. I actually just picked Scythe back up as a reread/buddy read to get out of a slump (The Winners ruined me and my brain is mush still). I WILL say I absolutely agree with the main character critique; they’re by far the weakest link in Scythe but I do think, especially in the sequels, you get just the BEST secondary characters. So well written, so fleshed out. By far my favorite parts of the series.
Library looks good. Best wishes with your reading choices. I hope you get some great stories.
If you liked Before I Let Go then you have to read the second book in the series This Could Be Us. Sooooo good.
You have taken my vague interest in some of these books and have made me genuinely excited to read them now 🤩🥳
Teehee love getting here earlyyy. I NEEDED this video tbh
im so glad you talked about bride! i just very recently got into physical form romance/smut books and oh my god, the first one i picked up was bride and i LOVED it.
New fav booktuber
Yay! Two books you reviewed are on my TBR
OMGG SCYTHE IS SOO GOOD and you look so gorgeous todayy!! hand over your sweatshirt it looks soo cool gives me Jurassic park vibes
after your review of check & mate i started picking ali’s books up and reading them and the obsession has reached a point where i legitimately had a dream that we were besties. so that’s fun
i almost picked up bride today but i wasn't sure and now i'm 110% going back to get it asap, sounds like such a fun read!
im obsessed with the library on mount char. i read it maybe 3 years ago and still thinking about it. as far as i know the author hasn’t written anything else other than a couple computer text books.
Hiii I always look forward to your videos 🎉❤
Yaaaayy! I have a video to watch tonight 🫶🏽
Absolute comfort UA-camr❤️
Loveddddd Before I Let Go.
ahh i loved bride im glad you did too. the scene on the plane had me BLUSSSHHHIIINNNNGGGG enjoying your reviewssssss
I LOVE your videos, i saw the notification and was like y e s
so thankful to hear your thoughts on the paper palace because my book club were obsessed and I felt guilty in my reactions and didn't get to share my thoughts that session. I do think that there is this attitude that reading emotionally difficult things is in of itself a marker of being "well read"
although i lost my love of reading i am still fully in love with this channel
Day 5 of asking for a closet tour specifically of all your sweaters and cardigans because I NEED IT
Agree with every word you said about butcher and blackbird and about the end of bride 💯
would love to hear your full review/summary of library on mt char and on the scythe series
thanks for the video!
i have the same sweater that you’re wearing omg
