Lily uploaded? FUCK GOING TO SCHOOL!
Crystal Clear Don’t worry I did, I watched it on the way
your accent is goals
The Truth that’s funny, in her q&asshole she said she hated her accent 😂
is she from Australia or New Zeland?
M1989
I only started watching her videos yesterday so I'm not caught up on all of them and I wouldn't presume to know where she lives, but her accent sounds Australian. I'm Aussie and I noticed it in the first video I watched. The vowels are pronounced differently by New Zealanders.
also ignore the others in the comments sayin stuff like “about time u upload” (even though they’re probably mostly sarcastic) but pls take your time and put yourself and your personal life and health first we love you sm
Thankyou! much love
LilyCReads 💛💛💛
i bought anna and the french kiss a few months back, watched your review the day i bought it and i haven’t touched it since
You should read it for yourself and form your own opinion on it. You did buy it too. Might as well not let it go to waste.
Indeed. Don't let it go to waste. Re-sell if for cheaper to get your money back.
when they almost caught him I was stressed too, even though I didn't like him at all. I think because you only read from his perspective your brain kinda imitates what he would be feeling or something like that. Rather then rooting for him, you are rooting for yourself... if that makes sense (it probably doesn't)
I think that's pretty accurate, since it was written in first person it almost felt like i was the one being interrogated during those scenes.
The way you arching your eyebrows is easily better than most books.
It's lowkey unnerving me how this bedroom looks like a motel room
Talking Movies I WAS SO UNNERVED
It looks like she's been kidnapped
Agentmg17 or like she's on the run
For some reason I'm imagining a comedy-thriller about Lily on the run and its the funniest thing I've imagined all day
About time, bitch
Jk love you
Is it weird that I was totally transfixed by those socks and sandals? I couldn't stop staring at them...
go watch h3h3
only watched til 2:35 bc i want to go into this book totally blind. but its been a long time since lily uploaded so im basically torturing mysELF MJSJSKDBE
13:11 I really kind of felt the same thing with the book from Stephen King called *Finders Keepers* because I literally started to root for the killer which kind of frustrated me because at one hand I understood his situation and the things he had done, eventhought it were really bad things, but at the other hand I also was really angry on him and literally hoped that he gets caught by the police.
(sorry for the bad english)
This was exactly my feelings reading this book!!
It messes with your head
It's a very good twist to make him so hypocritical though. Think about it: He's invading the private lives of other people by rationalizing his actions, but we're invading his private life and rationalizing it by saying we're reading a book.
IS it weird that I'm obsessed with your eyebrows? Also, I'm so excited that you're doing reviews again! Honestly, I've had my eye on this book for a minute and I didn't want to be spoiled but you've starved me so much with your content that I just HAD to watch this. T__T
phone notification: *LilyCReads uploaded a new video*
me: ARE MY EYES PLAYING TRICKS ON ME??? ....... OH SHIT!!! ITS REAL.
HOLY SHIT I AM SO READY FOR THOSE HARRY POTTER REVIEWS GURL
i love when books (and other media, like video games and movies) make you side with the villain. i don't usually feel bad about it or anything because i know that it's obviously fictional and no one is actually hurt. sometimes it just makes for a more interesting story when the bad guy wins
That eyebrow raising at 0:15 slayed my life
"Honey, you didnt even know the half of it" I love you:-)
ahhh i want to read this but i dont care because i love your videos more so spoilers hehehee
So I haven't watched the whole thing but I already know I'll love it!! Thank ya Lily, one of the best booktubers ive found!
Thankyou!
I've literally never clicked faster
I've been rereading the last books (starting from Order of the Phoenix) again and tbh I just get sucked into the storyline over and over again. I can't wait for your reviews altough you'll probably be a little more objective since you didn't grow op w them which makes me kinda nervous hah
Sounds like the protagonist is a good example of chaotic good.
Love what you’ve done to the room.
thanks, i decided to go all out with decorating this christmas
I love your book reviews
I'm sorry do we know you? 😂😂😂
"The pettiest bitch I've ever read about."
I'm sold! Sign me up!
"now you may be thinking: wow, that's fucked"
Why did I forget my headphones at home?
you’re so close to 100k omg congrats in advance, look at you go!! h*ck yeah
eyebrow game on this girl is crazy strong
If you really liked this book, you should read You by Caroline Kepnes. They sound like they’re very similar, and I think you would really enjoy it! :)
This sounds a lot like the book YOU by Caroline Kepnes. You read the book from the perspective of the stalker and find yourself rooting for him even though you know what he is doing is wrong. Great book!
I literally counted the fucking days for you to upload. Like, anything. Please post more often, even if its not about important things.
Lily uploads a video...
Me: *DROPS EVERYTHING AND WATCHES THE FUCK OUTTA THAT SHIT*
I haven't been able to read anything for months because everything I pick up is shitty and boring, and since I've told myself you need to read a good thriller/horror but haven't done it yikes. This sounds like the kind of book that I'll finally like, so thanks pal
plz do more reviews, rants, and vlogs. i really love this channel❤❤❤❤❤❤
So its like don quixote and crime and punishment mixed together. But weirder.
Ok, I think you'd really like You by Caroline Kepnes, it's similar in that the MC is a creep but you root for them!
I can’t wait for your review on order of the Phoenix harry is so annoying in that book because idk puberty????
You should read Call Me By Your Name. I'm not rlly sure if you'd love it or hate it but you'd definitely have a strong opinion of it by the end hahah
My day just got so much better!
Love your reviews lily ❤
GRATEFUL! Thank you very much!
You’re journey through this book was almost exactly like my journey with “You” by Caroline Kepnes. I’m not one for slow paced books but since I loved “You” so much, I may try this one out. Thanks for the review!
i also just started rereading harry potter, there are a lot of details you miss out on while reading for the first time
The Audrey part got me laughing way too much😂😂
This is off topic but Lily is really beautiful!
I rarely read books but I stan this channel
I have an exam tomorrow and I was feeling SO STRESSED AND THEN YOUR NOTIFICATION SAVED MEEEE T_T thank you. Thank you
I miss the old background lolz
Hey look she's alive. We missed u
So glad to have you back posting!
What I would do for her to review Death Note ;-;
this reminded me of a Netflix documentary The Voyeur. it's about a guy who bought a motel to spy on the guests, pretty interesting
Omg you still alive must be a miracle haha
Do not need to be braced for Harry Potter reviews. Fully ready.
You're so gorgeous its really hard to hate you.
Manal Fatmi why would u want to hate her?😂
excellent video, comfy new setting.
very insightful and well articulated conclusion. I'll add it to my tbr pile.
my only critique : please don't show the socks with sandals photo ever again.
lysm ♥
That's exactly how I felt when I read You by Carolyn Kepnes, rooting for the "bad guy." It's like you just get so caught up in seeing it from his POV that you start sympathizing.
thE SOCKS AND SANDALS OMG IM DEAD 😂😂😂
You should start doing youtuber book reviews
Hot Girl. Hot review. Nice.
are those PAPAS socks and sandals???
BINCH U ARE BACK DAMN HELL YES
i bet hes a cancer/capricorn
I've been following you since not long ago, but I feel really good to see you really enjoyed a book, finally!
4:49 Brain Freeze

I love ur channel
12:11 You are the GIFt that keeps on giving.
honestly i'm just as petty as this guy lol
MISSED YOU ACK
tbh this is the most interested I have ever been to actually read a book front to back. The feeling won't last, but good review!
wow an upload how iconique~~ also so glad this review is up so I can decide if I should buy it now!!
Girl I get it!!!! I haven't read this book (although I want to now) this concept made me remember that the manga Death Note made me feel exactly the same way. The main character is essentially a murderer but he justifies it because he only kills criminals. As it goes on he does end up killing innocent people who get in his way but because the story is told from his perspective you really understand him and I know a lot of fans who did LOWKEY want to see him succeed even though you know what he's doing is wrong. Even I felt sympathy for him! It's a really cool concept and I love seeing stories unfold from the villains pov as we don't usually get that a lot.
Lily you should read Lolita if you liked how it made you sympathise with nine in Lolita you literally sympathise with a pedophile for most of the book and sort of agree when he blames the girl it's weird but a great book
Kate Davis no just no I'm currently reading it and just noooo there is no way anyone can feel sympathy for that guy he's just horrible
AHAHAHAHHA idk why but I laughed so hard when she clarified who Tf "Audrey" was 😂😂 lmao just picturing her confusion while watching that when editing
You should watch "Mientras duermes". It's a very good Spanish movie that has a really similar plot and structure to this story. If you loved this book, you'll definetly really enjoy this movie.
Ah I love your videos! Tbh if your looking for any recommendations for books I would totally recommend "The Collector" by John Fowles which is also a psychological thriller. It also provides two different perspectives, which is pretty interesting to see the victim of the novel [Miranda Grey] and the man who kidnaps her [Frederick Clegg] and his warped point of view.If you do read this I think it'd be interesting to hear your thoughts!
i actually stopped the video, read the book and came back to watch the rest. Your power over me is unbelieveable!! :'D
edit: yes i felt the same thing I was trembling with the fear of him getting caught! very disturbing 10/10 would recommend
One of my favorite books 'Forging Haephestus' by Drew Hayes is about a woman who is apprenticing to join a guild of super-villains. You can't help but root for her to escape from the capes during her trial. She commits crime with no real thought except how much money she will have to build or upgrade her suit.
This sounds like the same idea of You from Caroline Kepnes. Have you read that? It’s really worth checking out. You’ll hate Joe but side for him every time. 😊
When I start watching your review, I just feel like man, I'm gonna read it cause you describe it so well, but I just keep watching and get all the spoilers and I can't click away cause you describe it so well.
Lily, I know a book I think you might like. It's called The River at Night by Erica Ferencik.
I downloaded the audio and listened this one 4 times these past days, haha. Outlod laughs and you even got me interested in it, Lily. Seems quite cool
Dude, I felt that same exact way with Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment! The way he made me sympathize with the main character/murderer had me questioning myself and my morals for a bit, lol. It's nice to know someone else feels the same way in regards to a questionable character like that!
I dont know if you've read it or not but you should definitely read You by Caroline Kepnes. This book sounds similar to "You" so I'm going to check it out."You" is such a good read and super creepy.
Such a shame I read A Pleasure and a Calling very soon after reading The Talented Mr Ripley, they have a lot in common, but this one is not close to being as good...
This book makes me think of "You" from Caroline Kepnes. THAT is the same type of Insta-Love but another level.
The book is also in the head of a twisted mind but the main thing is that the guy is obsessed by a girl.
Your videos give me lyyyyffeee!!!! For real whenever you come put with a video I get so excited lol your reviews kill me and you make me wanna read more, even if it's a shit book I wanna read it for the experience lol. I just want you to know you're an amazing person :D
HEY i just realised you look very much like Olivia DeJonge lmao
This book sounds fascinating! Missed your reviews so much and can’t wait for more!!!
I just finished this book and I totally understand what you meant when you said you were rooting for the bad guy... ive read so many books like that and its so weird!! Also if you like this book you NEED to read You by Caroline Kepnes, its one of my favorite books and the whole time I was reading this book I kept thinking about "You". I suggest the audiobook, its SO good, i still think about it all the time and i read it like 8 months ago.
You should try reading the foxhole court by Nora sakavic! I Would love to hear your thoughts on the series!💕 as always you are a boss ass bitch! Keep the videos coming✌🏻
When you watch the spoilers because you can't afford the book because your broke as shit and you love Lily hihu
I don't even read the books you review. I just like listening to you talk. Keep making videos!
I’m so excited you’re gonna read Harry Potter, I can’t wait for those videos!!!
