Broke my neck sprinting to this video. I am 13 weeks pregnant and feeling very meh. Lexi always cheers me up
hang in there mama it gets better after 15weeks😊
Wishing you and your baby best luck and health ☺️
🫶🫶 hang in there, sending you + baby all my best~
19 weeks here, neck also broken from sprinting!
11 weeks here and yep I also nearly broke my neck to watch this
crying at the description “fake dating out of what I can only assume is malice”
as someone whose attention span is also, as you say, "cooked", rest assured that i legitimately do not notice the lengths of time between your posts and it's always just a nice surprise for me whenever new content pops up
9:10 “what if no death what do” perfect description
hi lexi ! i know you've had some hard times this year so far. i just want to say we all appreciate the effort you put into your content regardless. we're the same age but im a chronically ill girlie who cannot work but watches a lot of book content for comfort. so thank u !!!
thank you bestie 💞 read her body + other parties (carmen's short story collection) next!! also a banger if you like her style!!
Yes! I agree❤
You ARE my favorite book UA-camr. I love how real and valuable you are. I always look forward to your videos. Self care is so important. Happy you are back in the swing of things. If people truly care and love you then they will be by your side through the tough times. ❤
🫶 thank you for sticking around
EVERYONE WAKE UP! OUR QUEEN AND SAVIOR HAS FINALLY POSTED🫡
But seriously I really really missed you so much❤️❤️
🫶 thank you for being here
I couldn't agree more
as a fellow book lovers stan - funny story is a DELIGHT. one of Emily's very best in my opinion. I felt so isolated and heartbroken reading it while also laughing out loud. It's so so good!! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it 🫶🏼
Book Lovers supremacyyyyyyy 🙌🙌
She’s back, babyyy!!!! And with cool ass pants!!!
Thanks for recommending “Betty”. I’m forever changed.
second the pants!! where are they from ???
🫶 i'm very glad you loved it, one of my favorites to see more people read :')
Also read Betty on your review and sobbed at the end, it was beautiful!
So happy to see a new video from you! Know you’ve been having some rough times (as someone who had been there, I’m so sorry and thinking of you)- hope you’ve been taking it easy and giving yourself some grace. So excited to add these books to my TBR!
I love how honest you are about sometimes not feeling like reading. Every reader experiences that (added bonus if you suffer from mental illness) it's okay. It makes coming back to reading even better❤
Edit to say something actually meaningful: I read Notes on an Execution and Project Hail Mary from your recommendations and they were both amazing books!!! I have Betty, Office of Historical Corrections, and Circe in my TBR on my bookshelf ready to be read soon! Ty will forever trust your amazing recs
yesss i am so glad you loved both of those!! BANGERS i hope you enjoy the others ~
I loved the naturals, the series gets better and more interesting with each book, also the love triangle did feel different from the inheritance games tbh
Same here! I think that series was one of the first ya thrillers I ever read. I reread the first one a few years ago and still really enjoyed it even with the ridiculous premise
The variety in this list is peak mood reader and I’m all for it! One Dark Window and The Spirit Bares its Teeth are also on my TBR short list for the summer
you are going to LOVE bright young women. it is written with so much compassion and deep insight. it may be my fave book of all time now. (this is also me requesting a reading vlog of it) 🥰🥲
🫣 ill see what i can do :)
PLEASEEEE this
Your TBR 🤝 My TBR
YESS One Dark Window and Funny Story have been my favourites this year, immaculate vibes ✨ can’t wait to hear your thoughts on all these!!
Every time Lexi posts it feels like a breath of fresh air for like 20 to 50 minutes
get up everyone Lexi posted ‼️‼️‼️
SHE HAS
ARRIVED
Lexi is the only reason I read new books at this point, her taste is so incredible and the content she creates always hits so so hard
Ngl I look forward to Lexi's videos so much! Just feels like I'm talking to a friend just as deranged as me about books.
You nailed a specific point about how we can all literally read the same book and yet have completely different views on what we read, not counting the enthusiasm or the lack of too! I appreciate you selections to go along with my own and the list can never have too many to choose from! On a side note...I would have LOVED to either read your written Book Report or better yet, heard it live and in living color in Class! Cheers and Happy Hump Day from COW-lumbus, Ohio MOO 👋
I’ve been rereading the naturals series once a year since I was like 14 years old. The way the whole story comes together by the last book always has me shook even though I know what to expect. First book is def my fave and has some crazy plot twists!! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts
You genuinely cannot even begin to understand how much I appreciate you and your videos. I swear you’re the only person, whether on UA-cam or irl, who seemingly has the exact same taste in books as me, even with the stuff that’s kind of contradictory (like loving a lot of romance books and a lot of fantasy books and then just cringing through the most popular romantasy books).
I have never liked any of the classics and I, too, wish my brain and body would be normal and allow me to be the matching loungewear and asleep by 11:00 pm type of adult woman and I just feel way less like garbage knowing I’m not the only one, yenno? 😅 I was so excited seeing this pop up in my recommended. Just know that we’re always gonna be here when you’re ready and able to come back and you are quite literally the ONLY source some of us have who we can trust book recommendations from because it’s such a weird book taste. In fact, if you have other content creators whose opinions you trust on books or just certain genres of books, it’d be really cool to see a video of you shouting them out. I’d love to discover more content creators.
🫶🫶🫶 lowkey i also have the problem of having nobody i trust 100% 😭 you clocked me that's what i get for having weird contradictory opinions. i have kind of a constellation of different creators and if they all line up on something then i'm likely to think it's fire - on YT i really like caricanread and thebookleo. i think maybe the most similar to me generally is allisonsaplusreads on tiktok (with a few exceptions hahahah), her vibes are also just really good. i also like emmaskies for fantasy, bridgetish for weird stuff (horror, nonfiction).
we missed you Lexi and i;m so happy to see you smiling and reading!
Very excited to see you read the next books of the Scythe series!
OMG SHE'S BACK
One Dark Window is so good!!
gah i read all my rage this spring and absolutely loved it!!!!
we are so so happy you’re here lexi, your videos are the absolute light of booktube
I can’t tell you how many authors or genres I have tried and loved based on your recommendations - your taste is immaculate.
Also, your life is yours and you can take however much time you want between books and videos!
BROO all my rage is SO GOOD. You’re gonna love it
our favorite book girlie is back
OMFG YOURE GONNA READ THE NATURALS I CANT WAIT TO SEE YOUR REVIEW I WAS OBSESSED WITH IT
honestly i love how open you are about your personal struggles when they come up and think everyone should feel OK to take time for themselves! (although I know that's not what the various algorithms say so I get it)
glad you're back!
i have never heard someone perfectly sum up my own difficulties with reading classics like you did in this video. you get me 😩
SHES BACK LFGGG
the intro made me so happy!!! i loved it
soooo glad you're back queen!!!
Summer has officially begun now that you have blessed us with your TBR🥲 Glad to have you back - we’ve missed you, but totally understand that life sucks and self care is needed. Wishing you all the best🫂✨
this video is honestly giving me such a spark of creativity rn, having someone talk this eloquently, whether they liked or disliked the book, about my own writing is a freaking dream. plus the way you describe each book concisely and completely makes me want to read them, too! (love the categories btw LOL)
plus plus your videos just make the work day more bearable, 100%. thank you for posting and just hope everything is going well for you! 🤍✨️
Missed you Lexi!! Thank you for being here to brighten all our days!
Hope you’re okay, thanks for the video!
One Dark Window was so good! The magic system has chef’s kiss and the lore is very well done.
The Spirit bares it's teeth is legit my favorite book I read this year I think you will love it legit one of my new favorite authors!!!!
lexi i am so happy you're back you have no idea
I'm so happy you're back! I found your channel within the last couple months and have been obsessively watching all of your videos. You're so unique in the way you describe plots and characters and I feel like your specific humor is exactly the same as mine and I'm just really glad that I found your channel 💕
I love watching ur videos so much
as someone who read it, the spirit bares its teeth is SO good. one of my favs now, actually!
thrilled to see my queen joan didion on this list, her books always make me question the entire world around me and i think you’ll eat it up
So happy to see you again and I’m glad you are doing better!! 🩵🩵
What an absolute birthday delight!! Glad to see you back on my screen and in your own beautiful mantra, I hope you're taking care of yourself
Welcome back bestie❤
lexi!! we missed you!!!
I got so excited receiving your notification!!❤
I’m lucky to finish one book in a month, so I’ve been loving watching ppl talk about books they’ve read/are going to read. Kinda reading vicariously 🤣
I'm so happy to see you ❤
LEXI it’s so good to see you🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
I read the spirit bares its teeth a couple months ago and loved it! I hope you have a good time with it, and just a restorative summer reading experience overall
sooo happy to have you back on my screen!!
“Our wives under the sea” is sooo good!
The naturals is so much better than the authors other stuff, its so addictive, youre gonna love!
I vicariously read through you, since I work 50-60 hours a week & am chronically exhausted when I'm off. Thanks for sharing all these awesome stories with us, even when you're feeling down.
🫶 remember to take care of yourself
i feel you on the beach, its beautiful and i love the idea of spending all day there but heat for me is miserable, only more miserable with the added sensory experience of sweat, sunscreen, and sand. however, i will devour a beach read happily from indoors at the airbnb while everyone else enjoys beaching!
Dude the naturals series is one of the best series I’ve read. My fav series. May not be others but… OOOOOO ITS SO GOOD😭
I was about to go to bed thinking I had a bad day, but that changed when I got the vibrant and pristine concoction of neurotransmitters your videos provide. Bless you.
your videos are a little treat every time one pops up in my sub box, and you've become my comfort person to put on in the background. and so glad you've been practicing taking care of yourself the way that you encourage us to do for ourselves :')
the naturals is SO fun, i read the whole series and the novella within 3 days
a new lexi video!! I CHEERED! 😍
so happy to see you :) I'm sorry things have been rough lately, I do hope things are starting to look up
Lexi you’re my favorite book person and so glad you’re here when you can be 🩵
Screaming crying throwing up lexi has posteddddddd
I’m happy you’re here Lexi 🫶🏽
one dark window really owns my heart
I've been PRAYING to see one of your videos on my homepage again 🙌
I Love it when you pop up on my fyp on tiktok, it feels like we have more of you
Biography of X is so good! You’re gonna love it
One Dark Window was the most recent book I just read! It was really good, the vibes were peak rainy day staying in bed reading.
Also Nightmare slays and is my favorite character.
i read none shall sleep (and some shall break) because of you and I loved it sooo much...makes me sad that the series is so underrated
I cannot wait to hear your thoughts on All My Rage. It’s such a moving piece of literature and I loved it so much 😊
I've tried to follow a monthly TBR and it put me right in a slump lmao I am a huge mood reader
this is normally my experience but i'm trying to learn discipline 🥵
i adoreeee you and it makes my day when you post! 💕💕
I hope you’re taking care of yourself 🫶
I was JUST rewatching your old videos thinking when you would post omg
you are by far my favorite booktuber to watch. Please don't apologize for taking time you needed to take care of yourself. We will be here when you post. Can't wait to see what comes next!
I love how unbothered you are by the fact that you never read new releases on time, despite of being a booktuber. I never read new releases on time either and it's really nice to see!
Lexi, I say this with the utmost care and honesty. It doesn't matter to me how often you post, I just feel lucky to get a peek into the books you're excited about. I read at a similar pace to you with similar ebs and waves of productivity, so your videos are a helpful check in and reminder that I do in fact still love books, even when I haven't read what I hoped to. Thank you for your time!
MY FAVORITE!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
ughhh always look forward to u posting i’ve rewatch all of ur vids twice in anticipation 😭😭
THE SPIRIT BARES ITS TEETH IS ONE OF MY FAVE BOOKS EVERRRR I picked it up on a whim and oh my goodness…
ive been so moody and stingy lately for no reason but then user newlynova uploads a new vid and suddenly i feel like a person again
I loved Station Eleven!
Waking up to a new Lexi video makes my day!
One of the only people I genuinely watch
Can’t wait to watch this later!! Glad that you’re back ❤️
Love your videos
i've read the naturals last summer and when I tell you I DEVOURED IT it was a really fast and entertaining read literally perfect for the summer days when you don't want to occupy your brain much and you want to have some fun!!!
LEXI’s back baby
welcome back friend!! i hope you are also taking care of yourself ❤️
