I agree so much with “changing your rating over time” cause there are books I have given 5 stars where I almost forgot they even existed and wouldn’t reread it…
I’m definitely on the wrong side of book tube. Realized that as soon as verity and November 9 was placed at the top and heartstopper was put in won’t read.
I don't get the whole craze behind Verity. It's good but it had so much more potential to be better. Probably mid at best. The twist isn't reallly good. You can find better twists in Freida Mcfaddens Books. The Housemaid was very similar to it but was 10 times better
i think i’m on the wrong side of booktube… i really like the way you talk and respect your opinions very much but oh my goodness i think we have completely different taste!
the midnight library changed my life, it shows you how to appreciate life and makes you realize that you have to make the best out of everything, so good and not hard to get through!
@@lmn0005 the whole book is basically about TW ⚠️⚠️her killing herself, ( that’s not a spoiler btw ) I would say there really is nothing else bad in the book, she is searching for the life she wants in the midnight library, so if you can handle her overdosing then you could read the book. It’s really really good. 🤗
it really reminded me of an alan watts quote! (might make some mistakes here) “let’s suppose every night you were able to dream any dream you wanted to dream and that you could for example have the power within one night to dream 75 years of time. and as you began on this adventure of dreams you would fulfil all your wishes, you would have every kind of pleasure that you could conceive, and naturally you would make further and further out-gambles as to what you would dream and finally you would dream of where you are now, and that would be within the infinite multiplicity of choices you would have of playing that you weren’t god”. i really enjoyed it too, i think it was fantastically written and had the elements of philosophy and existentialism, as well as offering hope and optimism despite the atmosphere of suffering and melancholy
Ive never met someone with such similar taste. She doesn’t shy away from saying bad things about hyped up books! I love that! Not every booktok rec is good.
My Dark Vanessa is one of my favorite books I’ve ever read but it’s HEAVY. I tried recommending to my friends and I think I scarred them so it’s def not for everyone
If you didn’t like From Lukov with Love, I don’t see you liking Kulti. I’ve read 5 of MZ’s books and even though they’re all slow burn, I feel like Kulti is the slowest that I’ve read personally.
sara you NEED to read where the crawdads sing! the synopsis does not do the story justice trust me, it's not your usual romance and it takes a few chapters to get into but it's literally my favourite book ever
i finished love and other words like a day ago and i completely understand your love towards that book. it is so good and i absolutely fell in love with it, like i want to reread it. i literally thought about you when i picked it up!
Bunny is AMAZING, one of the best book I've read recently! I guess it could be described as a dark academia thriller but I actually have never read anything quite like it! the plot twist at the end was completely unexpected, the whole book itself was so intriguing! if you feel like you could appreciate the genre then I would more than definitely recommend!
My dark Vanessa was amazing!!! Yes it was kinda uncomfortable to read at times but it was written so well so educational but definitely a hard read so I get why some people don’t want to read it.
omg noooo! after a huge reading slump i read midnight library and it instantly reignited my love for reading. it was so quick and was such a good read for me. love it
red white and royal blue - you have to read it (please do a reading vlog!!) when i first read it i really liked it, but after reading it a second time it literally became one of my comfort books
red, white and royal blue is an amazing book 5⭐️. more on the romance genre and the royal is more about the characters placement in their life than history of the royal family.
You NEED to read My Dark Vanessa it is in my top two books for what I’ve read this year. It’s definitely not fluff and very emotional but I’ve never felt so attached to a character and what she was going through. It’s heartbreaking and beautiful and everyone should read it is so good.
@@lex3025 mainly the characters. I thought the writing style was creative. Daisy is a Mary sue, great at music even though she's stoned all day and has no education or training whatsoever. Billy being a complete asshole to Camila and her being "well you are stuck with me because I'm the love of your life" ??? I liked that she forced him to be better but at the same time their relationship just seemed sad to me. Plus him and Daisy "falling in love" makes absolutely no sense. I also felt that the relationship between the brothers was underdeveloped, I expected way more resolution. And I love how one of their friends DIES at the beginning and they're like "well anyway he died moving on". The only character I liked was Camila and still i disagree with her choices so much. Daisy was so annoying, the rest of them were meh.
I feel the same way you do about The seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo. I almost didn't want to read Daisy Jones and the six afterwards, but I really enjoyed it. It wasn't a 5 star read, but I would actually read it again, I've heard the audiobook was great, so maybe I would listen to it.
I would definitely recommend Red White and Royal Blue!!! I finished it in a day and a half. It was a light and fun romance. The royalty didn’t seem too over done. I really liked it.
Yes! You totally need to read red white & royal blue: it’s hilariously written, the characters are great, the plot is good, the politics/royalty aspect isn’t hard to understand and it’s literally my favourite book of all time :))
i 100% recommend the inheritance game series and folk of the air (cruel prince)!!! these are some of my fave series and i haven't felt the way i did when i read these books in so long and i just love the characters so much, the romance, and the plots overall, i hope you get to them and that u enjoy them!
Two books I HIGHLY recommend for you if you haven’t read them yet. Rock, Paper, Scissors by Alice Feeney and The Soulmate Equation by Christina Lauren. I am SO OBSESSED with both!!
Verity is probably one of my favorite books. I can talk about it for hours and recommend it to everyone. I think she should do more thriller books cause I liked verity so much more than any of her other books
I finished the entire ACOTAR series in two weeks. I’d definitely say hold off if you don’t want to get too into a series because it will GRIP YOU. I’d definitely sell my soul to experience reading that for the first time again
Okay hear me out. I am not a fantasy girlie but can’t stop thinking about ACOTAR and ACOMAF since I read them. I still have to finish the series but STILL. I was so intimidated to commit to a series but I read some Colleen Hoover in between the two of them (I’m sorry but Layla was surprisingly so good to me?!) and I feel like that’s the way to go! You need a little break in between each book in the series so you should start it! Also, Daisy Jones & the Six was such a surprising read for me. I hated The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo but loved this and it’s such a short read! Atlas Six has good dark academia vibes too and I think about it still!
the inheritance games is one of my top series's i've read after six of crows so i highly recommend, maybe read it when the final book comes out in august! its super fast paced and interesting imo
totally agree about Emily Henry’s writing. I read beach read and people we meet on vacation this year and I wanted so badly to love both of them and they just really didn’t do it for me I felt them to be really underwhelming. the story always starts off strong and then falls flat somewhere along the way.
the thing about a little life is that it is one of the best books I have ever read but it is so sad and so disturbing at times that I had to stop reading it and take like a week break until I could pick it up again. Like it took me five months to read….but it’s also one of my favorite books ??
I highly recommend To Love Jason Thorn. It wasn't really rom com and wasn't predictable, at least not to me. It had actually many tropes like brother's best friend, childhood friends to lovers, fake dating/marriage of convenience and the smut was great.
I know people hate on "They both die at the End" but I really liked it. It didn't make me cry or anything, but I still liked it! It was cute and the concept was cool.
You HAVE to read The Inheritance Games and Shatter Me!!! Those two literally started my reading addiction loll. Although I understand not wanting to commit to such a long series for shatter me, but trust me, you fly through it soooooo quickly! Most are pretty short, and I think the longest one only gets to around 450! I’d love to hear your thoughts on these! Their both so intricately plotted with many twists and turns. You should do a reading vlog. Either series would be super entertaining!
A touch of darkness is hades and Persephone retelling like neon gods. They are both pretty easy to follow because i'm the same way about mythology and names are hard for me but I enjoyed both of them!
Neon Gods is not an overly Greek book! I am not into Greek mythology at all and I LOVE this book, it’s a 5 star read for me. It’s mostly romance and soooo good.
How funny... I was bored by Verity and really enjoyed Daisy Jones. Going to pick up Seven Husbands now.. would love to also get Malibu Rising, but I live in Cali and already stress about fires, I don't want to read about them!
Please don't be worried to read The Sweetest Oblivion! It is one of my favorite books I've ever read! Nico is the perfect balance of overbearing/protective and caring/compassionate. The tension between Nico and Elena literally oozes off the page like this book made me feel all the feels lol, but seriously i think you'll really enjoy Danielle Lori's writing style!
I’m sorry but the sweetest oblivion was one of the worst books I’ve ever read. It’s like a Wattpad fanfic but make it a published book.😭😭 Nico is just no like he’s giving macho stereotypical mafia man and there’s no depth or anything meaningful and was so forgettable. I litch started yawning half way through

lowkey my new favorite series 😭❤️
Omg I’m counting down the days until the third book comes out
The cruel prince series was incredible! Was definitely confusing to get into at first but was so worth the read, I’m obsessed!

the invisible life of addie larue is slow at first but the writing is so gorgeous i loved it and it made me cry

yessss
My Dark Vanessa is one of my
favorite books I’ve ever read but it’s HEAVY. I tried recommending to my friends and I think I scarred them so it’s def not for everyone
I'm reading The Midnight Library and contrary to others, I'm really enjoying it! I think it just depends on what you like.
The inheritance games is literally one of my favorite books you definitely need to read it it’s got mystery and a little bit of romance
You’ve literally become my FAVORITE UA-camr! I get so excited to see that you upload and you’ve given the best book recs! Love ya girl!! 🤍📚
omg thank you!!!!!
If you didn’t like From Lukov with Love, I don’t see you liking Kulti. I’ve read 5 of MZ’s books and even though they’re all slow burn, I feel like Kulti is the slowest that I’ve read personally.
ok thank u sm. i don’t think i can do it 😭

i have heard “you reached Sam” is so good!!!
The audiobook of daisy jones and the six is amazing!
i’ve heard that!!!
