      ⁠​⁠@@teeen3486 who hurt you lol? There was no comparison or shunning in that comment at all. You’re the one going on the attack when all they did was complement the original creator without mentioning anyone else. They didn’t even say anything is wrong with sticking to one genre or booktok either, yet you’re the one being condescending and saying “you lot” like this community are all meanies. The victim mentality is strong in this one 🤧

    if you liked 'Emily Wild's Encyclopedia of Faeries,' you should pick up 'A Far Wilder Magic'. I've heard very little talk about it online, and it deserves so much more fanfare. It's a cozy light fantasy that does a really good job in the romance and character department. I desperately need more people to talk about it. Thank you for coming to my ted-talk.

    I am not sure if you will see this but I want to thank you for pushing my to read again. I just recently started to read again and I find so much joy in it. I do struggle when it comes to reading and always lose my confidence that it makes me hate reading. Unfortunately I am almost 26 and struggle with a learning disability which is emberassing say the least for reading. I am only a 5th grader level when it comes to reading which makes it so hard for me. But watching booktokers and book UA-camrs has encouraged me to read a lot more. And I been pushing myself with these big ass books cause I refuse to let this effect my love of reading. So thank you to all the book people on here. And if you struggle when it comes to reading just know y'all got this we don't give up here. Much love I will continue reading I read 6 books so far in the month of January and I plan on to keep going.

    Hey Haley !! If you want to read more fantasy, I highly recommend The City of Brass (Deavabad trilogy). It's overall a great story with engaging characters, politics, wordbuilding and a thrilling plot. I also heard that you like low spice romance and this book very much has it as the love interest is religious and stuff :) I really think you would enjoy it !
    Love from France ❤

    Emily Wildes books are on my list too.
    I haven’t read Cresent city yet…still working on KOA and then I will read the ACOTAR books, so may be awhile for me to read them. 😂

    Hi Haley, I love your channel because it is what got me back into reading! I also have a series recommendation for you! It is Middle Grade....But I think it's kind of on the line between YA and Middle Grade. Anyways, it's a Middle Grade fantasy series that's pretty high stakes, has well written characters (imo), pretty fast-paced, and a good, complex plot! Oh, and a little bit of romance lol! The series is called Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger, and it kinda gives Harry Potter vibes in a way. I hope you'll check it out!
