im so happy you are into lord of the rings! its honestly a great franchise, the books are incredible the movies are great everything is wonderful. you will have a great time!
Happy late birthday queen 👸 also nothing NOTHING bugs me more than an adult in a book saying "crap, freaking, heck" like either commit to the swear or don't bother
Happy belated birthday!!! I only read Lily Gold for the 3m1f smut now. All of those books have the same- one man is a grump, one man is super flirty, and one man is shy. Plus every time there’s the same big fight where they’re unhappy but then they get back together.
The inheritance games were really good! Personally I feel like it could’ve been just a longer standalone (the second book could have been skipped…) but it was a really fun read that was good for my slump!
I was like 11ish when the first LotR movie came out. Had zero interest when it came out. Walked into the living room where my family was watching it, caught sight of Legolas and was instantly enthralled. Because of my crush on Legolas, I became obsessed with the movies and went on to read and love the books. Orlando Bloom was my celebrity crush all through my teens.
Omg I also recently watched LoTR for the first time and I’m so obsessed. My dad went out and bought me a box set with the books like the day after we finished watching them, and I’m very tempted to read them immediately but also scared 😂
For your high fantasy era, I recommend Priory of the Orange Tree and A Day of Fallen Night by Samantha Shannon if you’re wanting something written by a woman that’s queer and dragon-centric and is just really good but still digestible despite the high page counts
solo cinema trips slay, my first one was top gun maverick. need to go more, but my local cinema shutdown for renos this year so now the other ones are so far.
The broken bonds series got me out of a reading slump. It was so bad it was good for me, read the first 5 books until I finally got fed up halfway through book 6 😂
I was so excited when you said you were watching The Lord of the Rings 🎉🎉🎉 I read so much LotR fanfiction in my early-to-mid 20’s (and still do from time-to-time); I especially loved the ‘modern girl is transported to Middle Earth’ stories. So fun 😂😂 Super excited for you to read more fantasy stuff~ 😄👍🏻
@@WhittyNovels Fanfic is the reason my tbr will always be monstrous, but the desire to read it comes in phases. Right now I’m in my farming sim video game phase, so I’m not reading at all. 😭😭😭
I actually really liked Galatea! I’ve heard some discourse about it, but keeping in mind that it’s a short story it’s pretty good and ofc it’s well written (Madeline Miller will never do me dirty)
I am so happy you found the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit!!!! Legolas’ friendship with Gimli is much better in the books. The Hobbit deviates from the book but what movie doesn’t. I really hope you enjoy them when you read them
You have to read Faking with benefits by Lily Gold!! Was it National Geographic? No but it was good fun. Also I screamed when you hauled The Inheritance Games. I love the series soooo much the characters are great and the story is twisty!!
I think Victoria Aveyard described her book Realm Breaker as LOTR meets something (can’t remember what!). I haven’t read it yet but I’m here for your high fantasy era!! LOTR movies are soo good and that’s coming from a non-fantasy girlie 😆
I’m so sorry for laughing when you were having a breakdown about reading broken bonds or whatever the j.bree book is called😭😭😭😭😭😭I’m a bit surprised that you’ve never heard of it tho but I guess it’s very good that you’re not on that part of goodreads 🤪☠️
Hello from probably one of the few guys watching you 😂👋❤ Heartstopper has actually another volume out, was released in December. Volume 6 will be the last one, not sure when that will be published. Galatea was good, hope you like it
Hey girls! If u want to read more Lily Gold but not the vibe of tdb I have read them all and would say that tdb is an outlier w the crime mystery angle. If ur looking for damsel in distress maybe the mountain men one is for u bc it’s like an English tourist getting lost in a Swedish snowstorm. I really enjoyed 2/3 relationships in faking with benefits but they’re podcasters (red flag) and one of them worked at her high school! So icky but the other two men are age appropriate and iirc nice.
you 100% are my favorite person on the internet - also, you are convincing me to watch Lord of the Rings, but I tried watching Hobbit like 10 times and never made it more than 15 minutes into the movie, is this better???
i havent seen the hobbit yet!! but i guarantee i’d probably be bored watching the movies at home vs the theater so it was a unique situation… but i also just finished playing skyrim this year for the first time and it reminded me of that in the best way
If I can chime in - the hobbit movies are horrible. They have none of the charm and appeal of LOTR, it's like comparing an ai genrrated imagine to the mona lisaxD if you are really not into fantasy, then you might still not like it but just from a movie quality standpoint is it miles better!
Awesome that you went to the cinema by yourself! 🎉 I do it all the time, it's the best. Welcome to the Lord of the rings fanclub 😂❤ the books are the best as well, highly recommend the audiobooks with Andy Serkis (who plays Gollum in the movies). If hou need high fantasy recs, you know where to find me haha. My favorite genre. Hope you enjoy Narnia, I really did when I read it.
I didn't care for Mistborn esp, or any BrandoSando. I tried! Cannot recommend enough Robin Hobb!! The first book is a slog & hard to get through. But *every* other book after that makes me think, "ah man no one else writes like Robin Hobb" & I cannot get enough.
With the first book, the author probs came from a state where 16 is of “legal age”. Makes me barf as an adult now thinking 16 can be legal and authors need to stop having teens get with full grown adults 🤮
No shade for difference in opinions but I feel so many newer releases have crazy high ratings and are trash, I have unpopular opinions on why as well and don’t want trolls to come for me, reading has become popularized and thus the influx of trash and influence is for $ not for the actual content
i choked on my sandwich when you said "i look like an anonymous tip in a documentary"
welcome to the 'down bad for the entire lotr cast' club!
every frame of two towers is “dream eiffel tower i’ll start”
yay my comfort girly uploaded
"Lord of the rings, the twin towers" 💀💀 the SIDE EYE 😂
im so happy you are into lord of the rings! its honestly a great franchise, the books are incredible the movies are great everything is wonderful. you will have a great time!
I’m so here for your high fantasy era

I love the Lotr movies, I cry every time
The Hobbit movies are awesome too and very emotional

Happy late birthday queen 👸 also nothing NOTHING bugs me more than an adult in a book saying "crap, freaking, heck" like either commit to the swear or don't bother
thank you!!
and YES it’s so annoying. it makes me feel like i’m reading a YA book or the narrator is immature
Happy belated birthday!!! I only read Lily Gold for the 3m1f smut now. All of those books have the same- one man is a grump, one man is super flirty, and one man is shy. Plus every time there’s the same big fight where they’re unhappy but then they get back together.
thank you!! i see so many people raving about the mountain men one so i think i’ll try that one next then tap out for good if it’s also a flop haha
The inheritance games were really good! Personally I feel like it could’ve been just a longer standalone (the second book could have been skipped…) but it was a really fun read that was good for my slump!
yeah idk if i’ll read onward in the series but i’m so curious why it’s so popular!
Sharpie's purrs healed me through the camera
happy belated birthday!
I went and watched all of the LOTR too which I seen then back when they 1st came out and it started a huge obsession the books are ahhhhmazing
Stoppp the Gallagher girls series inspired me to start writing as a teen!

i have read ALL of lily gold’s why choose romances and they’re SO GOOD i loved them all i ate them up so fast
Happy Birthday!!! 🎉🎉🎉
I am here for a high fantasy era!!! I've been feeling like it's time for me too!
Your birthday gifts truly show you are SEEN and LOVED

hahaha i see why!!! i had an orlando bloom notebook in middle school but it was when he was in his pirates era. not a bad one either 😍
Omg I also recently watched LoTR for the first time and I’m so obsessed. My dad went out and bought me a box set with the books like the day after we finished watching them, and I’m very tempted to read them immediately but also scared 😂
yeah ive decided to start with the hobbit and take it veeeery slow haha
heartstopper 5 is already out girl
“It comes out this year or next year idk” the way I cackled
HELLO????
@@WhittyNovels Hello! 👋 😊
@@WhittyNovels that was my attempt at humour sorry I’m not funny lol
For your high fantasy era, I recommend Priory of the Orange Tree and A Day of Fallen Night by Samantha Shannon if you’re wanting something written by a woman that’s queer and dragon-centric and is just really good but still digestible despite the high page counts
i tried to read those a while ago but got so bored… i will have to retry!! now that i am in my AD era (after lotr lol)
solo cinema trips slay, my first one was top gun maverick. need to go more, but my local cinema shutdown for renos this year so now the other ones are so far.
The broken bonds series got me out of a reading slump. It was so bad it was good for me, read the first 5 books until I finally got fed up halfway through book 6 😂

i love watertok!!!!!! i call them my fun waters
I also went to see the lord of the rings in theaters for the first time recently and it was such a good decision!
I’m so easily influenced lol if you’re having a high fantasy phase I am absolutely gonna end up finally having a high fantasy phase
You have to read Faking with benefits by Lily Gold!! Was it National Geographic? No but it was good fun. Also I screamed when you hauled The Inheritance Games. I love the series soooo much the characters are great and the story is twisty!!
the law & order bit made me CACKLE💀💀💀
Galatea was really really good!
I'm 36 and was lucky enough to watch all the Lord of the Rings movies when they originally came out when I was a teen at the movies
ommgggggg how cool!! i am grateful though that movie theaters now have full recliners so i could be ultra comfy during a 4-hour showing LOL
I think Victoria Aveyard described her book Realm Breaker as LOTR meets something (can’t remember what!). I haven’t read it yet but I’m here for your high fantasy era!! LOTR movies are soo good and that’s coming from a non-fantasy girlie 😆
SHUT UUPPPPP IM RUNNING TO THE LIBRARY
heartstopper volume 5 is out! volume 6 will be the last volume :(
Great vlog and happy summer 🏝️ 📚🧋🌈🍄💐😎
happy belated birthday!! 🥳
Happy birthday Whitney!
I pretend that three bodyguards doesn’t exist because the rest of Lily Gold’s books are so good
good to know it was an anomaly!!
I’m so sorry for laughing when you were having a breakdown about reading broken bonds or whatever the j.bree book is called😭😭😭😭😭😭I’m a bit surprised that you’ve never heard of it tho but I guess it’s very good that you’re not on that part of goodreads 🤪☠️

Oh my gosh watching you read Broken Bonds had me SCREAMING!!🤣🤣
Your black cat yawned and I said out "oh big yawn kitty cat" LOL cause that's what I say to my cats. I'm okay.

Happy Birthday!
dude you should read the Magnolia Parks series cuz i don’t want to but i wanna see you spill the tea
YES READ MISTBORN PLEASEEEEE
Welcome to the LOTR fandom 🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩
Two Towers is my fav movie out of the three.
you 100% are my favorite person on the internet - also, you are convincing me to watch Lord of the Rings, but I tried watching Hobbit like 10 times and never made it more than 15 minutes into the movie, is this better???

I think you should finish the Gallagher girls. The rest of the series gets more serious and has higher stakes. I still love them as an adult.
omg!! someone else said the sequel was good too. yall got me going to my library catalog….
We all want Legolas and Aragorn but we want them for each other ™️
I hated broken bonds, everyone around me loves it, I dont understand
If a romance novel is longer than a standard 350 pages…. I’m out🙃like it can’t possibly be that deep😔
just foreshadows a third act breakup at this point
@@WhittyNovels those are never necessary😔😔
Awesome that you went to the cinema by yourself! 🎉 I do it all the time, it's the best.

romance should never be that long i hate the trend of super long romances
I didn't care for Mistborn esp, or any BrandoSando. I tried!
Cannot recommend enough Robin Hobb!! The first book is a slog & hard to get through. But *every* other book after that makes me think, "ah man no one else writes like Robin Hobb" & I cannot get enough.
lol I have heard WILD things about American Queen 😬
I have a Pikachu pop socket on my kindle
go off best friend
With the first book, the author probs came from a state where 16 is of “legal age”. Makes me barf as an adult now thinking 16 can be legal and authors need to stop having teens get with full grown adults 🤮
China: 🙊…
Okay, but with Gallagher Girls you gotta eat least read book 2...just to meet Zachary Goode
2 vlogs in a week?!? How’d we get so lucky?! 🎉

YAAAAAYYYY
