This is my attempt at persuading you to read binding 13! I absolutely loved this book - it will have you giggling and kicking your feet but also sobbing because wow this book is so much more than just a romance. It is definitely quite heavy but I have never loved a cast of characters quite so deeply. Can’t wait for you to get to it!
I’m so excited for you to read Percy Jackson!!! They’re the books that made me fall in love with reading when I was younger. As long as you go into it knowing the characters are younger you’ll love it. And the character development in the following series are amazing
The Nightingale is very moving and readable but it gets a lot wrong about the Jewish experience in France and I think it’s important to know that. You can still like the book! But it’s also a book with a MC named Vianne, during a time when naming your child Vianne was actually illegal in France…so that’s the level of historical accuracy we’re working with lol. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on The Starless Sea! And there’s an upcoming Netflix mini series for All The Light We Cannot Sea starring our boyfriend Mark Ruffalo.
you already know i’ve just added a ton of books to my tbr from this vid… 🤭 when the mood strikes i really think you should pick up Binding 13. i’m a huge advocate for romance books not being over 400 pages, but with that series you just want the books to be longer! also, can we talk about how 90% of these books have the biggest fall/ winter vibe!! i felt all cozy just watching this! 📚📚
pleaseeee get back into the shadowhunters world soon, I’ve been reading her books for a decade now (wow) so I’m definitely bias to Cassie’s writing but will forever love and recommend them! Also, you have me intrigued with Blood & Steel, can’t wait to hear if that ACOSF comparison holds up 👀📚
personally i dont love mistborn as much as everyone else but stormlight is 100% my favourite series with throne of glass. also you need to read nevernight!!!
My list is just as bad honestly. 🤣🤣 The Shadowhunter Chronicles as a whole is so expansive and incredible. I do think you’ll really enjoy them. City of Heavenly Fire is one of my top faves in the series. It’s worth getting too. I still need to read Chain of Thorns but the first two in the Last Hours are SOOOO much fun. I’m probably going to read Wuthering Heights in October to along with my re-read of Eclipse. It should be fun trying to find all the different references. Hope you are able to get through all of these! P.S. You should give Kingdom of the Feared a shot. 🤣
what i found what works for me to read my physical books is setting a goal of reading 100 pages every day. i tried doing 10 chapters a day but it doesn’t always work out as i found out, lol (almost 200 pages a day); but 100 pages a day seems to be working really well for me. imagine how many books you could read in a year as long as you’re making progress every day in any book of your choice!🙂
Anna Karenina was a long read (as are most classics for me). The romance was the best part. The social commentary was interesting in relation to social stigmas during that time period but the narrative by the brother in law (I believe) about peasant workers etc. was a little dry for me but still a good book.
This really made me want to go through my bookshelves and pick out what I haven't read yet. I'm sure it'd take me just as long if I were giving descriptions. You also added more to my TBR. My recs for top of the TBR is All the Light We Cannot See (beautifully written, and it will be a Netflix movie soon with Mark Ruffalo), Song of Achilles, Persuasion (the main character is older and it's a second chance love story, my favorite Austen novel), Red Rising (I loved the first trilogy, tried to read the next set and couldn't get into the first book. I've re-added the series to my TBR because Olivialovesalatte is raving about them), and Name of the Wind (I read it forever ago, but it was a good high fantasy). Ariadne is like a 3.75 star read for me. The writing is lovely and lyrical, it has an interesting take on Dionysus, his cult, and Perseus since I usually read conflicting interpretations, and the theme is really the hubris of men, which is becoming more of a theme with mythology retellings. The downfall is the pacing is bad. The first part is fast and you want to keep reading, the middle is slow with time passing indeterminately, and then the ending picks up a bit again but it's just rough. I'm still eager to read Elektra though. Classics - I'm not big on the Brontes, but Wuthering Heights is probably my favorite. It has some great, swoonworthy lines (though if it were real life it's not at all a healthy relationship), and a good BBC adaptation with Tom Hardy and his wife where they fell in love whilst filming. I'd also recommend Here on Earth, which is a modern retelling by Alice Hoffman. Jane Eyre - I found one part more interesting than the rest of it and there's another classic book (Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys) inspired by it. There's a pretty good adaptation of Jane Eyre with Michael Fassbender as Rochester. Dracula is a must read solely for the chapter on how he gets to England. That's scarier than the rest of the book, which I found I could take or leave. Austen read through: 1) Persuasion; 2) Sense and Sensibility, great love stories with 2 different protagonists. Fantastic adaptation with Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, and Alan Rickman. Emma Thompson wrote it. 3) Emma - Definitely Austen's most funny book, and definitely check out the recent movie with Anya Taylor Joy. 4) Northanger Abbey, cute little first book. Leave Mansfield Park to last, it's like slogging through quicksand. I haven't read Sanditon because it was unfinished, but I really enjoyed the first season of the PBS adaptation. It made rowing sexy. I haven't read Priory yet, but I really enjoyed Shannon's Bone Season series. It's set an an alternate, future London where people who have magic are hunted down and either killed or imprisoned. I don't hear much about it so like to recommend it. The Starless Sea while beautifully written didn't come together for me. I was disappointed because I loved The Night Circus, which if you haven't listened to the audiobook of it you must. Jim Dale has the best fricking voice ever. Your edition is stunning though. I tried Bone Shard Daughter last month and couldn't get past chapter 3. I'm planning on trying again and hoping it's just a 'not in the right headspace for it right now' thing because the magic system is super interesting. Since you have The Jasmine Throne on your TBR I'm going to recommend Tasha Suri's Books of Ambha duology (first is Empire of Sand) if you haven't read them. They're fantasy romance set in a Mughal India inspired world.
You HAVE to read A Broken Blade and A Shadow Crown. They are so so good. One of my top reads this year. The third book, A Vicious Game, comes out in February and I cannot wait.
The Bone Shard Daughter series should be at the top of your TBR! Like, read that next! It’s my fave fantasy series ever. That and Archer’s Voice. Another one of my absolute fave books!! And I just finished The Serpent and the Wings of Night and loved it! 4.5 stars! Reading the novella now and will read the sequel next!
📚 I'm in the same boat with Cassandra Clare! I LOVED the Infernal Devices, but I'm not that excited for Mortal Instruments lol. I'm reading in chronological order, so I've also already read The Last Hours series, which was fun!
Okay I actually love your editions of the Diviners series! 😂 I mean if you're gonna have different edition covers, why not have them all 🙌🏻 Wow, Disorientation is beautiful and really screams Barbie 💅🏻🎀 Midnight in Everwood has been on my December TBR for an embarrassing amount of time! We can do it this year 🤞🏻 Omg The Hunger Games!!! A classic. So so good. I thought Kingdom of the Wicked was just fine, Cursed was great to me, and Feared was 1 star. 😆 But to be honest, it was SUCH a fun hate read! I was laughing out loud! I think Long Live the Pumpkin Queen would be great for a spooky season 24 hour readathon! It wasn't life changing, but it was a really fun, silly time. Especially if you have the movie fresh in your head! 📚📚
NAME OF THE WIND Oh my god, this is probably the book that got me into adult fantasy and I think about it almost constantly. I will warn you, it is very very slow-paced, it's one you very much have to commit to but it is so amazingly worth it. Followed by the second one a wise man's fear. worth it.
“but I have to read the book first. Those are the rules” THIS IS THE WRONG ORDER!!! 😂😂😂 If there is a movie out, it always goes first for me. Hear me out… The movies are generally more surface level than the books. You love the movie and think it can’t get better, BUT THEN… you pick up the book and you’re graced with ✨inner monologues✨ Books can really put you inside the characters head and thoughts the way that movies cannot. It takes you even deeper than a movie ever could, so the journey is essentially continuing when you begin reading. You get to continue uncovering things and understanding more. In the reverse order, you’re just spoiling the movie. You go into into it already knowing more than the movie can show you. You’ve already completed the journey in the deepest, most intimate way. Anytime the book has been read first in my experience, it just takes the magic out of the movie for me and there’s a lot I feel like I know that no one else watching is filled in on. And that makes me end the movie feeling unfulfilled. Potentially great movie ruined. I say try it. I’ve never watched nor read The Martian, but I DARE you to watch the movie first. 😂😂😂
Okay. Lord of the Rings I can speak for. You love the movies, I love the movies, we all do. They were done incredibly well and there’s presumably nothing that can make them better. They are legit perfection. That is until you pick up the trilogy. I picked up the books after watching and 🤯 They will make you appreciate and love the movies so much more.
dracula, the lady midnight series and the hunger games series are so great! and shining is so great, that I had to put it aside and never pick it up again. its truly a very good book but so disturbing
hiii! first time watching your videos, but i just wanna say that Jane Eyre is my favorite classic ever! It is a bit slow in the first 100 pages but after that is AMAZING
PLEASE read the hunger games + the prequel as a themed video!! I just re-read them as an adult and loved them, and the next movie comes out in November soo perfect timing!
Wuthering Heights it's my absolute 100% favourite book ever! I must have read it over 100 times. It's one of those books that gets better every time you read it! I read it for English in my teens and have read it over and over since. My copy is so worn now, it's annotated and highlighted and underlined so much it's literally hanging 🤣🤣I should def replace it, I just need a beautiful version to replace it with 🤔 Jane Eyre is also a very very good book, I've read this numerous times also 🤣 it's tragic but amazing!
Wow, when you said you had a big physical tbr, none of us could have imagined how serious you were, haha. Also, I reread the Hunger Games trilogy this year and it definitely holds up. 📚📚📚
I loved Wuthering Heights. It seems to be one that people either love or hate...no in between. I loved Frankenstein. I have had Jane Eyre in my pile for forever. I love all of Austen's books....and Emma is one of my favorites of hers. Percy Jackson series is good. Hunger Games series is good!
If I had a priority vote City of Ruin and The Witch and the Wolf!! The witch walker is sooo great ...you won't be disappointed. Blood Solace is good and I agree with you on spacing I have Blood Sanctuary on deck. I will say you were grossly oversold on Bow To The Elf Queen....it's very disappointing. It doesn't know if it's YA or adult...it's just meh. Ohh really enjoy The Broken Blade, book 2 is out and book 3 comes in a couple months ( readathon book).
Currently reading The Heir love it so far. Loved the Birthright Seties read them all in 4 weeks so was so excited to continue with Kingmakers Series haventhe first 3 books. 📚 📚
Please add "Tenant of Wildfell Hall" by Anne Bronte!!! I love it! ❤️ I also need to read Anna Karenina....I love the movie. Sense and Sensibility is one of my favorites!!! I keep editing this comment, haha! The Hunger Games! Oh my heart! You will love these. And the movies are gems, too. Get yourself in the right mindset for LOTR. Don't go into it expecting it to be just a page turner. It's a different style of writing. It's classic! Dracula- do read in October! There's still time! Just finished it and LOVE IT
For the Heir (kings-makers series) you should read the brutal birthright series before. (These are the kingmakers mafia parents stories) it’ll be soo worth it.
I read The Shinning when I was in my teens. It's the only book that I was reading in my room on a bright sunny day and I still got so scared that I had to put the book down and leave my room and do something else.
📚 I do think The Nightingale was just okay though, I read it a few years back but I remember not being too impressed with the writing style/characters 😅 but hopefully you like it!
I'll also be reading A Darker Shade of Magic soon, there's a readalong for the whole series starting at the end of this month! I'm aware of it because Elliot Brooks talked about it on her channel, I think (not sure) she'll be one of the hosts. Anyway, just letting you know in case you're interested in participating! 😊
I read birthday girl all i will say is the desk scene 😳😳 thats all i will say about that, i also read the right move i personally loves the right move better then the first book mile high, and i read all rhodes lead here n this book n its one of my favorite books of hers next to walls of Winnipeg and me and the shinning i havnt read the book yet but i have seen the movie n i need to get my act together and read all my stephen king books starting with it which about 20% of the way through
Please please read The Nevernight series by Jay Kristoff, Mia is a unbelievable character and then Empire of the Vampire, move these to the tippy top of the pile, he is such a great author!!!!
Try to think of a DNF as a trial - many books don't get a trial, and you are giving the book that chance. And a DNF isn't necessarily forever. You can change your mind one day. So it's not a permanent rejection even if you feel like you won't ever go back to it. You just aren't letting the books live with you any more. They can come visit as a library book potentially, but no more free boarders. Maybe you can shop your shelves as often as you don't? Say, read one you own for every new book or library book? Small progress is still progress. But I do think unhauling books you don't want any more is a good habit.
I could totally get down with a 2000’s YA 24 hour readathon! Knock out some shorter books like Hunger Games and Percy Jackson in a fun way
The Nightingale was PHENOMENAL! It was so heartbreaking and beautiful ahhh 🥹💗
I was coming into the comments to say this
Books will sit and wait patiently for you and keep each other company until you have time or the mood strikes.
This is my attempt at persuading you to read binding 13! I absolutely loved this book - it will have you giggling and kicking your feet but also sobbing because wow this book is so much more than just a romance. It is definitely quite heavy but I have never loved a cast of characters quite so deeply. Can’t wait for you to get to it!
i’m excited for it! 😻
The Diviners is such an eery, fun October read! That series is one of my favorites!!!
I’m so excited for you to read Percy Jackson!!! They’re the books that made me fall in love with reading when I was younger. As long as you go into it knowing the characters are younger you’ll love it. And the character development in the following series are amazing
You have SO many good books in your physical TBR! I hope you are able to read The Nightingale soon (if you like historical fiction).
The Nightingale is very moving and readable but it gets a lot wrong about the Jewish experience in France and I think it’s important to know that. You can still like the book! But it’s also a book with a MC named Vianne, during a time when naming your child Vianne was actually illegal in France…so that’s the level of historical accuracy we’re working with lol.
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on The Starless Sea! And there’s an upcoming Netflix mini series for All The Light We Cannot Sea starring our boyfriend Mark Ruffalo.
THE SHADOWHHUNTERS WORLD IS EPIC!! MUST READ!! ❤
i was so intimidated by The Nightingale but i listened to it on audio and i don’t regret doing that rather than reading it!!
you already know i’ve just added a ton of books to my tbr from this vid… 🤭 when the mood strikes i really think you should pick up Binding 13. i’m a huge advocate for romance books not being over 400 pages, but with that series you just want the books to be longer! also, can we talk about how 90% of these books have the biggest fall/ winter vibe!! i felt all cozy just watching this! 📚📚
Anna karenina is my favorite book of all time I’ve read it 4 times in my life it’s amazing
oooh i love hearing this! i need to pick it up soon
You've got so many good books ahead of you! Happy reading!
pleaseeee get back into the shadowhunters world soon, I’ve been reading her books for a decade now (wow) so I’m definitely bias to Cassie’s writing but will forever love and recommend them! Also, you have me intrigued with Blood & Steel, can’t wait to hear if that ACOSF comparison holds up 👀📚
dance of thieves is one of my favorites of all time! highly highly recommend
You will LOVE binding 13! They are the best books I’ve ever read! ❤️
The Name of the Wind is everything 🙌🏻
My husband just finished The Name of the Wind and loved it. He immediately got book 2 and is 50% of the way through. Your copy is gorgeous!
Nevernight is one of my favorite series.
Wow you have so many books to read! Good luck with them all. I hope you love the Cassandra Clare books. I love her too.
I can’t wait for more Cassandra Clare reading vlogs and this woven kingdom. 😊
I just started red rising as well! the first book was 5 stars loved it. Its more like game of thrones in space but more epic.Enjoy!
All the light we cannot see is veryyy emotional but good
The Martian is my favorite sci-fi ever. I own way too many editions of both movie and book.. you HAVE to read it, you’ll love it! 😊
Girl yes you need to read the nightingale , song of Achilles , and archers voice ❤️ I am so scared to count my physical tbr lol 📚
The Diviners is truly perfect for fall!!
personally i dont love mistborn as much as everyone else but stormlight is 100% my favourite series with throne of glass. also you need to read nevernight!!!
My list is just as bad honestly. 🤣🤣
The Shadowhunter Chronicles as a whole is so expansive and incredible. I do think you’ll really enjoy them. City of Heavenly Fire is one of my top faves in the series. It’s worth getting too. I still need to read Chain of Thorns but the first two in the Last Hours are SOOOO much fun.
I’m probably going to read Wuthering Heights in October to along with my re-read of Eclipse. It should be fun trying to find all the different references.
Hope you are able to get through all of these!
P.S. You should give Kingdom of the Feared a shot. 🤣
I love love love the Darker shade of Magic trilogy! Read it back in 2019 and it's now a comfort series!
So many good books on your tbr!!
the next mistborn book and frankenstein are my votes 📚
I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the rest of the Green Bone Saga!!
Red Rising is good, the second book is AMAZING. I'm in the middle of book, ugh this series!
i’m soooo excited ☺️
what i found what works for me to read my physical books is setting a goal of reading 100 pages every day. i tried doing 10 chapters a day but it doesn’t always work out as i found out, lol (almost 200 pages a day); but 100 pages a day seems to be working really well for me. imagine how many books you could read in a year as long as you’re making progress every day in any book of your choice!🙂
Stormlight Archives is sooooo good!
Omg yes The Diviners is PERFECT for spooky season!
All I can say is that I am wishing you the very best of luck in trying to get through your amazing books 📚 ❤❤❤
Anna Karenina was a long read (as are most classics for me). The romance was the best part. The social commentary was interesting in relation to social stigmas during that time period but the narrative by the brother in law (I believe) about peasant workers etc. was a little dry for me but still a good book.
The Tate James series and the Chloe Liese books are TOP TIER. You absolutely will not be disappointed!
i am absolutely obsessed with All Rhodes Lead Here, i love MZ but Rhodes is definitely her best one. but it’s totally a summer read imho!
LOVE the Hunger Games!!!!
This really made me want to go through my bookshelves and pick out what I haven't read yet. I'm sure it'd take me just as long if I were giving descriptions. You also added more to my TBR.
My recs for top of the TBR is All the Light We Cannot See (beautifully written, and it will be a Netflix movie soon with Mark Ruffalo), Song of Achilles, Persuasion (the main character is older and it's a second chance love story, my favorite Austen novel), Red Rising (I loved the first trilogy, tried to read the next set and couldn't get into the first book. I've re-added the series to my TBR because Olivialovesalatte is raving about them), and Name of the Wind (I read it forever ago, but it was a good high fantasy).
Ariadne is like a 3.75 star read for me. The writing is lovely and lyrical, it has an interesting take on Dionysus, his cult, and Perseus since I usually read conflicting interpretations, and the theme is really the hubris of men, which is becoming more of a theme with mythology retellings. The downfall is the pacing is bad. The first part is fast and you want to keep reading, the middle is slow with time passing indeterminately, and then the ending picks up a bit again but it's just rough. I'm still eager to read Elektra though.
Classics - I'm not big on the Brontes, but Wuthering Heights is probably my favorite. It has some great, swoonworthy lines (though if it were real life it's not at all a healthy relationship), and a good BBC adaptation with Tom Hardy and his wife where they fell in love whilst filming. I'd also recommend Here on Earth, which is a modern retelling by Alice Hoffman.

Emma Thompson wrote it. 3) Emma - Definitely Austen's most funny book, and definitely check out the recent movie with Anya Taylor Joy. 4) Northanger Abbey, cute little first book. Leave Mansfield Park to last, it's like slogging through quicksand. I haven't read Sanditon because it was unfinished, but I really enjoyed the first season of the PBS adaptation. It made rowing sexy.
I haven't read Priory yet, but I really enjoyed Shannon's Bone Season series. It's set an an alternate, future London where people who have magic are hunted down and either killed or imprisoned. I don't hear much about it so like to recommend it.
The Starless Sea while beautifully written didn't come together for me. I was disappointed because I loved The Night Circus, which if you haven't listened to the audiobook of it you must. Jim Dale has the best fricking voice ever. Your edition is stunning though.
I tried Bone Shard Daughter last month and couldn't get past chapter 3. I'm planning on trying again and hoping it's just a 'not in the right headspace for it right now' thing because the magic system is super interesting.
Since you have The Jasmine Throne on your TBR I'm going to recommend Tasha Suri's Books of Ambha duology (first is Empire of Sand) if you haven't read them. They're fantasy romance set in a Mughal India inspired world.
You HAVE to read A Broken Blade and A Shadow Crown. They are so so good. One of my top reads this year. The third book, A Vicious Game, comes out in February and I cannot wait.
A darker shade of magic!!! Yessss
The Bone Shard Daughter series should be at the top of your TBR! Like, read that next! It’s my fave fantasy series ever. That and Archer’s Voice. Another one of my absolute fave books!!
And I just finished The Serpent and the Wings of Night and loved it! 4.5 stars! Reading the novella now and will read the sequel next!
Here r my favorite authors:
Cassandra Clare: Shadowhunters
Stephenie Meyer: The Twilight Saga
📚 I'm in the same boat with Cassandra Clare! I LOVED the Infernal Devices, but I'm not that excited for Mortal Instruments lol. I'm reading in chronological order, so I've also already read The Last Hours series, which was fun!
Okay I actually love your editions of the Diviners series! 😂 I mean if you're gonna have different edition covers, why not have them all 🙌🏻
Wow, Disorientation is beautiful and really screams Barbie 💅🏻🎀
Midnight in Everwood has been on my December TBR for an embarrassing amount of time! We can do it this year 🤞🏻
Omg The Hunger Games!!! A classic. So so good.
I thought Kingdom of the Wicked was just fine, Cursed was great to me, and Feared was 1 star. 😆 But to be honest, it was SUCH a fun hate read! I was laughing out loud!
I think Long Live the Pumpkin Queen would be great for a spooky season 24 hour readathon! It wasn't life changing, but it was a really fun, silly time. Especially if you have the movie fresh in your head! 📚📚
I loved "Emergency Contact"
NAME OF THE WIND Oh my god, this is probably the book that got me into adult fantasy and I think about it almost constantly. I will warn you, it is very very slow-paced, it's one you very much have to commit to but it is so amazingly worth it. Followed by the second one a wise man's fear. worth it.
You HAVE to read The Diviners! The audiobook is one of the best I’ve ever listened too!

I’m loving the entire physical TBR videos. When I saw you did one I was like YESSS 📚📚📚
i’m glad you’ve said this about LOTR! i really want to love them 🙏🏼
Hero of Ages is considered one of the best conclusions of a series like ever! So hopefully that helps motivate you to pick it up 😅
dracula, the lady midnight series and the hunger games series are so great! and shining is so great, that I had to put it aside and never pick it up again. its truly a very good book but so disturbing
Jade Legacy and Hero of Ages are the top 2 finales I’ve ever read 👀
📚📚📚
ok that means the world coming from you, they are on my priority tbr for the next month or two!!
hiii! first time watching your videos, but i just wanna say that Jane Eyre is my favorite classic ever! It is a bit slow in the first 100 pages but after that is AMAZING
thanks for watching! ☺️ i’ve heard good things, i’m so excited for it!
PLEASE read the hunger games + the prequel as a themed video!! I just re-read them as an adult and loved them, and the next movie comes out in November soo perfect timing!
Wuthering Heights it's my absolute 100% favourite book ever! I must have read it over 100 times. It's one of those books that gets better every time you read it! I read it for English in my teens and have read it over and over since. My copy is so worn now, it's annotated and highlighted and underlined so much it's literally hanging 🤣🤣I should def replace it, I just need a beautiful version to replace it with 🤔
Jane Eyre is also a very very good book, I've read this numerous times also 🤣 it's tragic but amazing!
Wow, when you said you had a big physical tbr, none of us could have imagined how serious you were, haha.
Also, I reread the Hunger Games trilogy this year and it definitely holds up.
📚📚📚
Empire of the vampire is a must read it was my fav book last year.
So many amazing books! I can't wait for you to read A Deal with the Elf King. I LOVEDDD!!!! that one. 💕📖
i can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Jade War!!! i loved it even more than Jade City 💚❤️
So excited for u to read Brand Sando books and Half a soul
I loved Wuthering Heights. It seems to be one that people either love or hate...no in between. I loved Frankenstein. I have had Jane Eyre in my pile for forever. I love all of Austen's books....and Emma is one of my favorites of hers. Percy Jackson series is good. Hunger Games series is good!
If I had a priority vote City of Ruin and The Witch and the Wolf!! The witch walker is sooo great ...you won't be disappointed. Blood Solace is good and I agree with you on spacing I have Blood Sanctuary on deck. I will say you were grossly oversold on Bow To The Elf Queen....it's very disappointing. It doesn't know if it's YA or adult...it's just meh. Ohh really enjoy The Broken Blade, book 2 is out and book 3 comes in a couple months ( readathon book).
Currently reading The Heir love it so far. Loved the Birthright Seties read them all in 4 weeks so was so excited to continue with Kingmakers Series haventhe first 3 books. 📚 📚
Please add "Tenant of Wildfell Hall" by Anne Bronte!!! I love it! ❤️ I also need to read Anna Karenina....I love the movie.
Sense and Sensibility is one of my favorites!!!
I keep editing this comment, haha! The Hunger Games! Oh my heart! You will love these. And the movies are gems, too.
Get yourself in the right mindset for LOTR. Don't go into it expecting it to be just a page turner. It's a different style of writing. It's classic!
Dracula- do read in October! There's still time! Just finished it and LOVE IT
Boys of Tommen is sooo goood.Definitely you should pick up this series❤
Andy Weir Books AMAZING!!! Can not put them down when I read them.
I loved The Gilded Wolves and Midnight in Everwood and just finished One For My Enemy and enjoyed it.
For the Heir (kings-makers series) you should read the brutal birthright series before. (These are the kingmakers mafia parents stories) it’ll be soo worth it.
The diviners is grest! You def have to be in a historal mood though bc it’s in the 20s
You remind me a little of readbyzoe and it makes me happy bc I miss her videos lol. But I love your channel! ❤
Omg I need you to read Always Only You!!!
once i’m back in a contemporary romance mood i’ll pick it up! ☺️
I read The Shinning when I was in my teens. It's the only book that I was reading in my room on a bright sunny day and I still got so scared that I had to put the book down and leave my room and do something else.
You need to read Anna Karenina and Wuthering heights, they're unique books you will remember your whole life 🤍 And Half a soul is amazing!
Please read Long Live the Pumpkin Queen!! It picks up where the movie leaves off and it’s amazing!
Just read They Call Her Sofia by Doris Ladino and LOVED it!!😊
📚 I do think The Nightingale was just okay though, I read it a few years back but I remember not being too impressed with the writing style/characters 😅 but hopefully you like it!
I'll also be reading A Darker Shade of Magic soon, there's a readalong for the whole series starting at the end of this month! I'm aware of it because Elliot Brooks talked about it on her channel, I think (not sure) she'll be one of the hosts. Anyway, just letting you know in case you're interested in participating! 😊
Saved this! ❤
You could do a TBR jar of all of your unread books, and make one or two of the books that you read in the month from the jar 🤷♀️📚
Read the shining in the dead of winter. Its a good winter night or snow storm book. It’s so much better than the movie. So many differences.
Jane eyre is my favorite book of all time
I think I should do the same because I keep on buying new books and I don’t even know how many unread books I still have Hahaha😂❤
One For My Enemy is a modern day book. Very good writing is even better than her other books.

Please please read The Nevernight series by Jay Kristoff, Mia is a unbelievable character and then Empire of the Vampire, move these to the tippy top of the pile, he is such a great author!!!!
i’m excited for both!!
Try to think of a DNF as a trial - many books don't get a trial, and you are giving the book that chance. And a DNF isn't necessarily forever. You can change your mind one day. So it's not a permanent rejection even if you feel like you won't ever go back to it. You just aren't letting the books live with you any more. They can come visit as a library book potentially, but no more free boarders.
Maybe you can shop your shelves as often as you don't? Say, read one you own for every new book or library book? Small progress is still progress. But I do think unhauling books you don't want any more is a good habit.
