      Know that I had you in my Google spreadsheet of people I was so hoping to be able to include. But, alas, you were too unique this year. We love a man defying the consumerism standards 💁🏻‍♀️💋
      Also, I cut an entire 2 and a half minute clip of people who put Fourth Wing as their favorite book dissing it for it's terrible writing and bad world building and predictable plot. When I tell you over HALF the people that put it in their favorites had a clip of them roasting it. But I cut it cause I didn't want to be negative. It was hilarious though.

      Also, the clip of you saying that Violet's mom was probably a sadist was so funny to me. A friend was like "How married are you to that clip? Cause you already have someone saying that her mom sucks" and I was like "no, it has to stay, it's hilarious" ha

    So the thing about goodreads ratings and comparing it to people's best books is that it isn't going to be a good representation. So for example, for Yellowface, it has a lower rating because people either loved it or didn't , but the people who did love it, loved it a lot and it went in their best books of the year (personally I didn't love it), same with Happy Place I think (I also didn't love it). With Forth Wing, it's on a lot of best books of the year because it was a lot of people's introduction to fantasy, either coming from romance or just from never having read a lot. So of course it's super popular (think Twilight popularity back in the day), but for people who read a lot of fantasy, it's not super great ;)

That is a huge compliment to me. Also, you subscribed? Thank you SO MUCH! I'm happy to have you and I hope I can live up to the hype that this video obviously instilled in you, ha

      Yes! Gavin seems like such a sweet human, with a bit of spice 😅. I don't know him personally, but I feel like we would be friends if we did! We have a bunch of similar tastes in common.
      Since he had you on reading sprints the other day, I liked your vibes together. Then, he posted about this video on his channel, and I clicked on it. I had NO IDEA that you knew Gabby (GabbyReads) and Lexi (Alexandra_roselyn), and you either know or follow Hannah (Clockwork Reader); I follow all of them and I am subscribed to their channels. When I figured that how many Six Degrees of Gavin we had in common, I was sold. Subscribed. Done 😁👍
      I love your energy, and I love your vibe. (You're hilarious too: there are times where you say something, and you put your foot in your mouth and laugh it off, that totally reminds me of me ROFL 🤣🤣🤣).
      I'm excited to see what all you got! (Sidenote: I watched one of your bookhaul videos and loved it the one where you bought Fullmetal manga. I laughed, and my jaw dropped. I just bought the whole set a couple months ago too!!! I'm reentering my manga love story!)
      ...y'all make me wish I had enough time and courage to do UA-cam content. I'm scared lol
