Love seeing booktubers of color. You don’t see that too often! ❤️
Abigail AuYeung she was born in Canada, in a previous q and a video she talks about her ethnicity.
Abigail AuYeung even if she’s Asian she’s still a person of color lol
We need more people like u
Anyone have suggestions on other Booktubers of color?
@@dancer4pcda Naya Reads and Smiles. She's amazinnnnggg.
Ok, but why is nobody talking about how pretty she is?
Girl, you look absolutely stunning ❤️❤️
ikr
Using quarantine as an excuse to spend WAY more money than is appropriate on books for one week
Same girl, same
if you buy used its almost like youre not buying at all? xD
I'm reading books I got during the holidays but I just heard about a new book coming out
I’m jealous of her bookshelf 😭🤧
same 😩
The moment you said that the author of All The Stars And Teeth had worked on The Legend of Korra, GURL- YOU DON‘T KNOW HOW FAST I PUT IT IN MY TBR.
I love how you don't talk too about the book you're presenting. Instead you give us a brief little appetizer about a lot of books. You did such a good job on that! I want to read them all! Loooove from Germany❤️
Has anyone ever tell you that you look like Princess Jasmine?
Aaliyah Wright I was just thinking the same thing she is so pretty she looks like a model on a book cover lol
yessss
She is freaking gorgeous. Teeth 😻, skin 😻, hair 😻, makeup 😻. I want this lip color and her bookshelves ❤️
Omg I just told my daughter the same thing.
Memory Police is really really unique as a dystopian-esque kind of world, just really quiet tones of writing and just really really good definitely read it when you're in the mood for an adult book
you definitely don’t need to read queen of air and darkness before chain of gold. (also chain of gold is amazing😅)
I love how excited you get when describing them, cause dude SAME! I’m shocked you Can describe them so quickly, I always have to go really in depth 😂
All of these book covers are so pretty!
Ikr. I always get lost spending hours and hours browsing through book covers in a library or book store 😁
ppl say dont judge a book by its cover but if a book dont have a good cover i aint readin it lol
Just 1 thing: she’s really pretty and her makeup is sssoooo good
This was such a diverse collection of books and authors. Loved It
These are some AWESOME book recs! Love love LOVE the enthusiasm! We could all use this extra time to dig into a good book! In my book talks, I personally love reading some engaging excerpts and giving a bit of info about who the characters are and how the plot caught my interest. Keep up the great work!
I adore the way you describe the books!!! ♥️
The Shadows Between Us was actually really good. I literally just finished it this morning and added it to my favorites on Goodreads
I’ve only just discovered you through this video and i’m already obsessed with you channel! As a south-asian I love seeing the diversity of the protagonists in the books u showed! New subscriber!!!
The Memory Police was FANTASTIC. I seriously couldn't put it down until I finished it and I'm already planning to read it again. I hope you love it!!!
Woven in Moonlight is such a good book✨it takes a while to getting interesting but once it does you won’t put it down. And the romance is one of my favorites
You can absolutely skip Queen of Air and Darkness and understand everything that happens in Chain of Gold!! Chain of gold was amazing!! I think if you've read the first two books in TDA you'll understand any references Cassie makes to that series but it isn't required whatsoever!
every cover was so beautiful
I absolutely LOVED The Memory Police! I heard someone described it as "quiet suspense" and I think that perfectly captures the book.
I came across your channel today and I'm already in love
Just to let you know, your flashing lights in the background aren't epilepsy friendly. I had to scroll down and change tabs to watch the video, because I didn't know if they were going to be constant or not. Great haul!
I hope she sees this.
Hey! Thanks so much for this comment.💖 Really didn't think of that and I'm sorry if I caused you any kind of distress! Going to be mindful of this in the future and turn off the fairy lights or put a warning in video!
@@thisstoryaintover Thank you for taking note of this! Exciting book haul! 😊
theyre barley visible tho
YOU HAVE SUCH GREAT TASTE IN BOOKS!!😍
Hi Jananie, this video showed up in my recommendations and I’m so happy that it did. I love your energy. I’ve been looking for some upbeat content in this crazy time so this was exactly what I needed. I will definitely be adding a few of these books to my Goodreads. Also, you are absolutely beautiful!
Personally, I’ve been on a self-imposed book-buying ban all year. I did crack and order a book from a local bookstore to try to support them. Some places are offering free shipping to drum up online sales. I definitely urge anyone who can to send some love to their local bookstores. Amazon is convenient, but these small businesses desperately need it.
I also LOVED The Kingdom of Back!!! A new favorite for me too :D There were so many books on this list that I either want to read or did read and loved. I hope you enjoy all of these 💙💙💙
1st video I have seen of yours. I just want to read and your enthusiasm for every book has me wanting to read every book you mentioned. Your excitement for the books was enough for me to subscribe to your channel. Can wait to see more of your content!
This is the first video I’ve seen of your channel and I really love your energy/personality! Subscribed :)
Of Curses and Kisses was so so cute! It was also a pretty quick read
It'd be nice if you included a list of the books in the description (:
I know. a lot of Booktubers don't and I can't stand it 😭
The Memory Police!! I'm suddenly seeing that book everyone and I'm also now SO interested in that one! Happy reading!
I really like your suggestions and how you've included a lot of asian and female authors. Definitely will be reading some of these! :)
Your bookshelves are BEAUTIFUL 😍😭
Thank you for sharing your haul - definitely moving some books up the list on my TBR - I am also loading up on books for this unique time (at least I hope it is unique)
I remember reading I Heart You, You Haunt Me in high school!
they're such pretty covers
I CAN’T WAIT TO READ KINGDOM OF BACK!!!
the shadow between us has been a book that i've seen quite a bit of recently, and i'm really looking into picking it up soon!! loved this haul! x
Just found your account and your personality feels so fresh and natural. Def going to binge watch your videos 🤓
During the quarantine I already read "Brave New World" and "1984", now read "Kafka's metamorphosis" i like from Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷
Bookshelf goals!!! And you are so pretty!!!! Immediately subscribed!
I was looking for some suggestion and from the beginning of the video I’ve mark down like every book you’ve mentioned. I’ve just discovered you and I’m already subscribed 💕 Love from Italy 🇮🇹
Loveee the shirt & earrings
💗✨
I just discovered your channel today, and I have already watched so many of your videos! I’m already such a big fan of your channel! :)
all the books you discussed made me want to read all of them lol! new subscriber!!
im so glad I discovered you on my youtube recommended! I absolutely adored Anna K and Loveboat, Taipei! And these all sound like AMAZING recs so ofc I have instantly added them all to my tbr list haha
I am excited for the most of the books mentioned herem hopefully I get them soon to read. So excited to hear your reviews once you are done. 💪💪
We are totally normal (yes the cover is gorgeous) and Thorn sound really intriguinggg!!
All the stars and teeth is such a pretty book!
I'm currently reading a Hamilton biography listening to this since Hamilton is on Disney+ in 4 hours. I literally haven't slept in 3 days because I'm wayyyyyyy too excited
The midnight lie is so good. I still prefer Winners Curse. But I love Sid as a character in the book. Also your shirt an pd hair are so pretty
I also have two orders of books coming in because I’m stuck inside and made the mistake of scrolling through book outlet 😂 before the quarantine I bought The Shadows Between Us, and I’m really interested to see what everyone thinks of it! The premise sounds so interesting, but the length is short for a fantasy! I’m wondering if it’s a standalone or the first in a series 🤔 love your channel!! Happy reading!!
I believe it's a standalone
I absolutely love your accent ❤️
Whenever I watch these booktube vudeos I get so jealous of the bookshelves 😭😭😭
Omg your channel was recommended to me by UA-cam and girrrrl I enjoyed your book recos so much!!! I think im getting 90% of the books on this list!!!!
Woven between us sounds good, actually they all sound good!
When I saw that you hauled loveboat Taipei, I literally squealed! That book was so incredible, and you should definitely prioritize it if you can. Much love!😘💖💖
Nasibah Bintul-Mustafa same here! I loved the book and it makes me so happy seeing other people reading it!💛 I feel like it’s underrated honestly
You talk so eloquently ♥️
I love your vibe and watching your videos 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I read Loveboat, Taipei in March and gave it 5 stars. I absolutely loved it. There were some things that made me go “I don’t know about this” but those moments were few and far between. I overall really enjoyed it. It was a fun ride.
ooo thank you for letting me know your thoughts, that's really helpful! 💕
I know this is a book channel but I can't help staring at your eyeshadow
Just found your channel and oh my goodness you are STUNNING and I love your personality and picks, you have great taste !!!
All the bookstores in our country closed down. And deliveries aren’t allowed with the exception of the daily necessities. Thank godness I have a lot of unread books in my house so I’m good for this quarantine.
I am reading the kingdom of dark this week 😀 so happy with it. I haven't read Marie Lu till now , I only read ledgen.
Chain of Gold takes place after The Infernal Devices trilogy, so you definitely do not need to read Queen of Air and Darkness to understand it!
Brittany so if i’ve read the infernal devices trilogy, can i just skip the other shadowhunter books and straight to Chain of Gold?
ITSGEENA you can! It follows the children of the characters in the Infernal Devices trilogy. It takes place before any of the other series. I do recommend reading the others eventually though! They’re great:)
Brittany yay thank you!! I will eventually but there’s so many of the books, might take me awhile 😂
I haven’t read any of Cassandra’s books, but I’m only interested in reading The Infernal Devices series really, is it okay to read that and not the rest? Or before the others I guess
Adriana Ramirez it is okay! I read The Infernal Devices before the others as well.
Loved Anna K so much!!! Can’t wait for the sequel (Anna K Away). Thanks for this video, adding several to my list!
I bought Woven in Moonlight from Book of the Month and I am planning on reading it during September. Loveboat Taipei sounds good I'm excited to buy it.
Love your recommendations and videos, as always!
New subscriber! Love your book picks. I just picked up the Marie Lu book.
This whole quarantine has made me get back into reading. I just read "Milwaukee's Revenge" by Ryan Alexander. I literally couldn't put it down. Highly recommend if you're looking for a thriller. It was on Amazon so at least you can still get it with everything shut down
I've read Intisar Khanani's 'Thorn' several times - thoroughly enjoyed it, the writing's gorgeous and the characters are well-rounded. I highly recommend it! Also Intisar's 'Sunbolt' series. 😄
Stay safe and enjoy reading those books! 😄
I LOVE your energy and you are gorgeous
her bookshelf design reminds me of the clockwork reader
I just found this channel but lemme say: All The Stars And Teeth is worth it. Like there are some tropes you can see in it but somehow that makes the book more fun? It's one of those books where you can't explain it you just have to read it. Great vid tho.
My sisters and best friend are buddy reading Of Curses and Kisses. I'm excited!
Loveboat Taipei is SO GOOD OMG I cannot wait to see what you think about it! ♡
From what I heard, yes you can skip queen of air and darkness and read chain of gold.
P.s. I thought queen of air and darkness was amazing. And you'll learn some interesting info about characters from chain in gold.
I love your videos! ❤️❤️ always good content
Great haul! I've really been trying hard to read backlist titles!
this is my first video of you. I'm so glad i clicked on youtube's recommendation. you're so sweet. brb watching your other videos
Have you read children of blood and bone, highly recommend and would love a review on it!x
I can,t wait to read the Shadows between us OMG i love the cover
Three Things I Know Are True really intrigued me and I really hope to read the Winner's Curse some day since my mom is friends with Marie Rutkoski. Great video
You don’t need to finish Queen of Air and Darkness to start Chain of Gold, but QAD was so good and we do see some of Jem and Tessa in it!
You don’t need to finish Queen of Air and Darkness to understand and enjoy Chain of Gold. Loved the video ❤️
Yes you can skip Queen of Air and Darkness to read Chain of Gold
I read the shadows between us I loved the female lead so much gave it a 4/5 stars a must read !
I love your haul/rec videos - book outlet needs to make you a blogger friend so you can hook us up with the budget recommendations 🙌🏻🤪
OH I WISH 💕
Just now, I stumbed upon your channel and loooved this video!
You're so pretty!!
Love this video! So glad I found your channel via insta!
I picked up Chain of Gold out of curiousity - I plan to just read the 3 Infernal Devices books (as I haven't read them before) and then go into COG
you don't have to finish queen of air and darkness to read chain of gold since it sets before the dark artifices!
You should totally check out The Goose Girl series by Shannon Hale it's one of my favorite series of all time.
you can skip queen of heir and darkness but since the chain of gold is set after it there will be a bunch of spoilers for the dark artifacts series.
Off topic, but I finished MIRAGE, and it was amazing. Thank you for the recommendation!
YAY I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! 💕
those books covers are beautifulll and you look like an amazing person! kisses from Brazil ❤
The Shadows Between sounds interesting.
Wow! You have a thing for pretty book covers.
