THANK U
I love the people that do these things
Doin the lords work! Thank you!
Hey can we try get a review of the book “no need to mention it” on here as I read it two weeks ago and it’s the funniest rom com I ever read
"I never said these books were good. I said they were my favorites." PERIOD GIRL!!!!! It's your OWN opinion at the end of the day!!
you should do a book recommendation video with "palate cleanser" books because i'm always looking for them but i feel like everything is either a 10 book series or a deep meaningful standalone that will change my life and sometimes i just want a fun cute book to not make me think
YES!! I would love this
love this
Anything Tessa Bailey I highly recommend!!! Her books always get me out of a reading slump ;)
The seven year slip was a good palate cleanser for me recently!
💯 agree
based on what you said about shatter me, i think you would love love love acotar! it’s literally a romance just in a fantasy setting. but beware… once you go fantasy you’ll never want to leave. throne of glass (same author as acotar) is even better with little plot holes and an amazingly connected story (less romance but that won’t even matter once you read it bc it’s THAT good)
This is my most expected video of the year, Steph's recs never fail
your shatter me reading vlogs were literally my favorite videos of the year i had sm fun watching your reactions everytime i finished a book definitely a core memory for me ily🩷
honestly happy place isn't my fav emily henry romance/couple, but as a book it's still in my top two for her i think, it just resonated w me so much and literally brought me to tears. i've never been able to understand how people see themselves in characters until harriet, and as an avoidant person the miscommunication elements rly didn't bother me bc i get her so much
im watching the oc right now its so good if you love gossip girl, rich teen drama and has lots of romance plots too!!
If you want to get into romantasy, I recommend Dance of Thieves by Mary E. Pearson! It is mainly romance but the rest of the plot is so good too! A great start into fantasy that has plenty of romance. If you want more fantasy but still a lot of romance, I would recommend ACOTAR. But once you are fully comfortable in fantasy please read The Cruel Prince by Holly Black, it is mainly fantasy with a subplot of romance but like I read it two years ago and still think about it everyday! That couple will forever be my favorite ever. I'm so excited for you to read fantasy hehe one of my best decisions ever!
STEPH NEVER DISAPPOINTS!! her videos are always so so good and just amazing!! i will never not take her recs bc they are just so good!! im obsessed with ever vid she makes book vid or not!
“You sold me for a hotel” lemme tell you I was mad mad at chuck
Your bookshelves look so lived in and cosy, i love them 🥰
If you want to start getting into romatasy I’d recommend the cruel prince series! It’s a slowwww enemies to lovers over like 3 books but it’s so good. Also the main girl is such a badass and not a helpless girl bc she low key protects the guy. It’s also an ACTUAL enemies to lovers where he tries to kill her at the start of the book🤩
I wouldn’t say it’s a Romatasy. There are crumbs of romance
u should def not be advertising that series as anything close to romance its basically non existent, ur only gonna disappoint ppl
@@chloealexis593 that’s why I said it was a slowwwww burn bc the last book does have romance
Hi Steph! The Right Move was also one of my favourite books of the year! But I would highly recommend Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid as well (my top favourite of the year). I think you will really enjoy it.
Was it spicy? The Right Move I mean. 😅 Sounds interesting, maybe I would check it out. 😃
yes, it is spicy! the whole series is :) @@danijelaradanovic9827
@@danijelaradanovic9827 Yes, it’s a little spicy. Not so much, in my opinion
i could hear u talk about books forever and not get bored
I am so happy that *say you swear* is on the list 😭 I think that book deserves more attention !!
just started watching your videos recently and they're so calming and relaxing. thank you for some great romance recs ❤
the void i felt after vlogmas was over is acc insane (it was like a week), im so glad you’re back steph ive missed u sm girl 😫💕🫶🏼
YEEEESSSS!! oh how i adore you, steph! i want to be like you when i grow up ❤️❤️ you absolutely inspire me to keep going and to know that there’s something else after school
We LOVE the book content Steph gives us❤️
You mentioned in your last vlog that you need some tv shows to watch. I’d recommend Pen15. It’s about 2 best friends in middle school played by the women who created the show. It’s weird and funny and a cringe comedy. It’s also so wholesome and perfect and so relatable (I found some scenes so accurate to things I’ve been through) it’s so sweet and there’s a line in the finale that always makes me cry! i love it so much!!
omg yes this is the best show ever
I agree. Such nostalgia feelings
This new library is such a vibe 💖💖
Because Steph talks about gossip girl , and comparing some of it to books i ended up watching gossip girl and loving it.
The book amnesia is so relatable 😅 Steph please read acotar this year! ACOMAF is one of the best love stories and the plot 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽 you will love xx
the way I'm invested in everything she says/does love you sfm 💓
I’m so addicted to your videos I have been refreshing your channel every day since the last one! Can’t wait to watch this one 🫶🏼 Love you
Just what I needed rn, a Steph video 🫶🏻
Since you liked “the true love experiment”, you absolutely have to read “the charm offensive” by Alison Cochrun! It’s that same trope of a dating show star and producer falling in love and it’s so cute, but deep at the same time. It was my favorite romance I read in 2022 and I’ve already reread it three times. It’s especially good with the audiobook^^
do you have any more recs for these sort of books? because i loved those two sooooo much. I think i found a little niche that i want to find all of the books haha
@@ashleyoreads sorry, there are the only two I know🙈
You know it's a good day when Steph posts a new video!!!❤❤❤
can we PLEASE get an in depth bookshelf tour pretty please
MISSED YOUR VIDEOS SO MUCH I'VE BEEN WATCHING THE OLD SUMMER AND EVEN THE COLLEGE ONES.
I will be adding every single one of these books that I haven’t read to my never ending tbr because I forever will trust your opinion
As a literature student who read Charles Dickens last year: I still read and liked a lot of these books 🤭📖🩷
I miss your daily vlogmas so much that as soon as you posted, I jumped on the notification.
Been checking my notifications constantly for the past days for this videooo! Ly Steph ❤❤
Iv been waiting love the fact she's posting sm lately
The right move, things we left behind, yours truly, the Boys of Tommen series, and the dark verse series were definitely some of my favorite reads of 2023. I also loved say you swear, the love interest was amazing, he was such a sweet guy. I’m glad that she chose the right guy in the end
In the last video when you said you needed shows to watch I kept thinking of The Artful Dodger, it's enemies to lovers and the plot is AMAZING
You always have the best book recommendations❤️ send you so much love ✨✨✨✨
Definitely will be adding these books to my 2024 tbr, thank you steph
Yes! I love your vomment anout how you feel about your top books.
I feel it's how i feel about the nook and how much i enjoyed it. ❤😊.
Hey Steph, do you have a book diary you could write a quick review on the book and say what it is about.
"gossip girl 'you sold me for a hotel' vibes" is the perfect way to explain the magnolia/daisy books. its like watching a reality show about rich kids, and its bad bc its a reality show but that's why it's good
Yayy!! So excited for this video!! Definitely in my book era! Btw you have really pretty hair!
Ahh so excited for this one girly 💕🎀
the charm offensive by alison cochrun is the same trope (dating show producer & contestant) as the true love experiment and was so good!
The day you document your ACOTAR journey… omg I neeeeed it!
your videos make me so happy 🫶🏻
My comfort person🫶
I'm so grateful you exist I love you
STEPH LIKED MY COMMENT
this just made my whole day hell my whole year
Best part of my day is whenever i see a Steph video notification🥰
steph is my fav youtuber for 4 years now i love you!
just love it without watching it yet
Steph!!! what i really think you should read is that "most of all you" book behind you on your bookshelf because it's one of my all time favourites and it's soo good!!
I keep seeing The Right Move, I definitely need to read it now 😩 I also LOVED Daisy Haites the great undoing because of Julian… I’m so scared to read the last magnolia parks book 😭
i literally internally screamed when i saw this notification!!! ilysm steph 🥺❤
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
I’m going to start reading Boys of Tommen series this year and I’m super excited ❤
time to go add all these books to my tbr ❤❤
Hi Steph! 🍪☕ Watching this while relaxing and having some coffee is such good vibes 😊
Love it when I opening my UA-cam and seeing that steph has uploaded a video..❤
Abby Jimenez has a new one coming out this summer. She owns 2 cupcake shops here in Minnesota
My fav were: Malibu Rising, She's with me (you HAVE to read it Steph) and Happy Place (I read this during my last week studying abroad and it HIT)
My favourite books of 2023 were Lessons in chemistry, Daisy Jones and the Six and Eve Green by Susan Fletcher
I really enjoy listening to you🥰
hey steph!! my top book of the year was divine rivals by rebecca ross. i think you’d really love it! it’s about two rival journalists competing for the same job, while simultaneously writing anonymous letters to each other with magical typewriters. the romance is sooo good, i had butterflies the whole time. i know you mentioned wanting to read more fantasy in 2024 so i thought i’d recommend this one! (although it’s really not a heavy fantasy- the romance is definitely the main part) 💓💓
Any books Steph says is her favorite I will be reading in 2024 and it will be my new favorite.
Steph we need a fav books of all time or a rec list for beginner readers 🩶
if you love fantasy romance you should read the hush hush series. Its amazing and you will love the characters
people were saying this when you last talked about the true love experiment but if you liked that YOU HAVE TO READ THE CHARM OFFENSIVE OMGGGG
I’ve been waiting for this one!🫶🏻
The Boys of Tommen series was soso good! I loved both books so much and can't wait for the future ones. Only read them because of your rec and completely fell in love!
love your recs
hey steph love watching all ur vids and ur fave books this year!! i definitely recommend reading 'Behind the net" and " The fakeout" both by Stephanie archer, they are super wholesome ice hockey romances. If you're feeling in a fantasy mood, definitely check out the 'Once upon a broken heart' trilogy from Stephanie garber. They are super easy, fairytale-esque romantasy books.
Regarding last video: watch Reign!! I feel like you would like it
Steph I totally agree with the book amnesia though. I honestly cant remember a book i read like two weeks ago lol
Love your videos 🥰!
Currently reading Keeping 13 and loving it! Cant wait to get to redeeming 6 after your recommendation. The right move also really sounds like my sort of book so ill get that soon. Say you swear - i know what you mean about the twist, that felt like it came oit of nowhere to me too and the writing in the beginning of heroines mindset is very juvenile but i got used tonit and it was a good read overall for the sake of the guy i liked in it. Considering you are so into your acts of service i wonder if youve ever read the crossfire series by sylvia day? The first book is called Bared to you. I think you would love that. Billionaire romance with a strong minded FMC, his love languages are acts of swrvice and physical rouch so its super sweet and hot but also deals with some tough dark topics really well so the plot throughout holds your attention. Great vlog steph! ❤
the fact that you actually changed my life by making me read the right move 😭
I agree sooooo much with the knockemont series bc the second wasn’t as good as the first but then the third was incredible like I have reread sooooo many times. Sloane and Lucian for life ❤❤
Yes! The Predator and the Reaper are one of my favorite books of the year too!
I LOVE YOU SM STEPH ❤
Can’t wait to read Elsie silver this spring
read the right move this jan! I think it’s going to me my fav of year too
The magnolia Parks series is def one of the best that i ever read, its soooo good! I couldnt put the books down i read them all in 4 days!
I so much agree on ur happy place review
I love your videos steph .I started reading again because of you and Jack edwards. Thank you for that.
Love Payal❤
I'm really hoping you see this.
I've been reading since I was a teenager and I always think it's a shame that some of the best stories don't get talked about because social media wasn't really around 10 years ago making stories popular.
One of the book series I ABSOLUTELY LOVED is Half blood by Jennifer L Armontraut. For context, I've reread the series a few times and it still impresses me how well the story is written. There's 5 books with 2 novellas in between. It's not a steamy series but the love story is great, the plot is even better and I just want it more out there.
Based on Greek Mythology ❤ need I say more haha. PLEASE GIVE IT A TRY
Edit: first book is very similar to vampire academy first book but then the rest of the series takes a VERY different path and it's ❤❤❤
Top 5 books for me were “ecstasy” by K.V. Rose, “tied” by Carian Cole, “dead man walking” by Giana Darling “unfortunately yours” by Tessa Bailey and “tell me lies” by Carola Lovering. All so unique and underrated. (Honorable mention to “hooked” by Emily McIntire).
sorry, it's must be so random...but i just wanted to say that i love how you talk Steph😅 'cause english is not my first language, and sometimes it's hard for me to watch other English speaking bloggers because most of them speak very fast and not very clear, so it's hard for me to catch the point. But you speak so simply, so expressively and so interestingly that I understand everything, and to be honest, I think it was thanks to you that I started to understand English more by ear☺ so yeah, love your vlogs!!!❤ (goddd, I hope I expressed my thoughts correctly...)
Did u ever read acotar, or plan on jt, cuz as much as I didn’t much enjoy the first book, I swear the ones after make it worth it, I need u to read it ur my favorite person to hear opinions on!!!!!!💗
giiirl you need to read ACOTAR, the romance is amazing and it also has found family trope. you are going to love it
nooo it’s so bad
The Right Move was good but Caught Up had my heart - probably my favorite romance of the year, or when I started reading so much again..
And if you're into the cowboy/small town/ranch romance, Smoking Gun by Lainey Lawson was so good!! I believe it just came out in December but I loved it and only wish it had lasted longer. I too have book amnesia but I know it was a favorite =D
Definitely adding some of these to my 2024 tbr 🤍
Thank you steph! I’m going to read some of these :))
Steph, you are so pretty 🌹 Your hair is so shiny and silky ✨ Can you make a hair care tutorial, please?
I could watch your videos all day everyday
I always forget what books are about. Then they come out with a new cover and I will start to read it and realize I have already read it! hahaha So I finally started a Goodreads account and am thinking about starting a Book log/book journal of some kind. 💜💜💜
