    I read a lot because of Booktube. When you spend so much time in a community, it's hard not to be influenced by it. I made a video recently where I read books that were mentioned at a specific point in videos - regardless of what was being said about them. Fun project!

    I am new to the booktube universe (just started watching not currently planning on videos) you are a wonderful speaker and definitely gave me a couple of great book ideas! I would like to state my opinion that I do disagree with a couple of things about The Selection. I read them as they were coming out so from like 12 to 15/16-ish and I found them interesting and developed, but it has been a while since I've read them and your opinions made me think maybe I should do a re-read of the series.

    I LOVED Since You've Been Gone and I have read it a few times.
    I also liked the Selection series and also treated it as a trilogy. I didn't have a desire to read the rest.
    Fangirl also another favorite and I'm a little disappointed that Rainbow hasn't put a lot out. I loved all of her books. I really related to Cath. I am not into fanfiction, but I was always quiet, morally driven, and I would totally be the type to want to avoid the cafeteria because I don't know where it is or how it works. I always feel like everyone just knows what to do in new situations and I missed something lol.
    You have won me over!!!

    the first three selection books were really food in my opinion. i really enjoyed the drama even though the topic was really basic and kind of boring. it’s literally just like the bachelor. i read the last two as well and i enjoyed them but definitely weren’t as good as the trilogy. they took me a lot longer to get through. still enjoyed nonetheless

    Hey Mackenzie! I want to give a CHALLENGE for you and for the whole BOOKTUBERS community:
    Make a video talking about the best books you remembered reading when you were a kid, list down a couple, maybe 4 or 5, but the more the merrier!
    Let's call it the #MYCHILDHOODREADS challenge!
    I did mine already and I feel that this video that I made about is one of my most special videos ever and one I value most dearly. This will give us the opportunity as book tubers, to remember the most memorable moments we got when were just a kid - holding a book in our hands - basically remembering how our reading journey started.
    SO, if you are IN, SHARE THIS CHALLENGE, and do NOT forget to use the # above, I am too excited and can't wait to see yours! Best of luck and happy reading
    - Kind Regards, Bryan.

It was the first book that I skipped pages and I just did not like that at all and it was before I read harry potter. Now that I read harry potter wonder if I would like fangirl more.

    • @MackenzieLane
      @MackenzieLane  6 років тому +1

      I will say, the fanfiction parts of Fangirl did not interest me... at all. I still read them, because I thought maybe the bits we were shown would have some sort of commentary on the actual characters' lives, but I didn't glean anything special or unique from those parts. This is why I probably will never pick up 'Carry On'

    • @mom2triplets04

    If you’re into high fantasy consider reading my new book: www.wattpad.com/774198099-sorcerer%27s-spring-a-tale-from-exia-a-sentinel-in
    Here is an excerpt:
    “It’s easier to kill yourself than one would think; you simply need to start slowly. First, you select the piece that chafes the most; then you find what feeds it. And once a you is dead, one can become most anything. My death began with dresses-which is fair in that I was the death of many myself.
    But I forget how our stories go, from birth to death not notion to notion (I forget such things so often, I fear I gained less than I bargained to in my losing).
    Anyway.
    I am the 6th of twelve sisters. (A nymphling may only have sisters). I, as each of us, was born in spring; born into a gilded cage; a fixture of my mother’s Edenic prison. And it wasn’t a small world when I was small. No. Every tree was infinite before I crest its top; every flower new when a season stretched beyond a child’s reason; every laugh a song before I too grew rueful.“
