Not sure if you noticed, but Theo, the therapist in The Silent Patient, makes a brief appearance in The Maidens. He was a classmate of Mariana’s and pops up in the last half of the book. She, in fact, recommends that he apply for the position at the Grove.
Yes!!! I noticed that actually before I even read The Silent Patient just because I knew the general premise and I LOVEEEDD that Easter egg!!!
So happy you like the booksleeves! Enjoy love! I had so much fun making them this Summerween!
I loved them too!! Rushed over to buy a couple but they’re sold out. Please tell me you’re making more soon!!?!!
Thank you so much for sending them Rachel!! You have so much talent and I love them so much!!!❤️
I have to get me some 😍😍
i refuse to acknowledge that this level of editing exists...that intro was so cool!!!😱👻🖤
Omg thank you so much!😭❤️❤️💕💕💕
Finally. Another person who didn’t care for The Guest List. Cute vlog. And got a cool rec from you too! Yay
oh yay!! I'm so glad you found a book rec! And yeah...I wanted to love it but it just wasn't for me 😞
It's literally 4am here in the Philippines but I was so thrilled to see you againnnn. I mean 40mins of lexi talking????? who could resisttttt?? 👻👻👻👻
awww thank you so much
Also I love how you make all of your desserts from scratch. I wasn’t expecting that but I love it
Aww thank you! And omg I love that book!!!
Read When We’re villains. You have to love Shakespeare but it’s amazing!!
@Mam Jallow omg I love that you knew this!!!!
"It's hotter than Hades!" 😂😂😂
Edit: Just got to "Vogue could never" this vlog is cracking me up!
hahaha thank you!!
For anyone wanting to read the wives: If you're struggling with infertility or miscarriage I wouldn't recommend it. She describes how it feels with this trauma so well, and it's brought up throughout the book. I liked the story, but it was very difficult to get through.
Thank you. I struggled with infertility and never was able to have a baby. I appreciate your comment.
Its very kind of you to inform this
Oh this is so true! Thank you so much for this comment
Thank you for this!!
Thank you.
If you’re looking for thrillers, I can’t recommend Shari Lapena’s books enough! They are so fast-paced that you will read them in a sitting! So so good! As always, loved your video!
I love B.A. Paris books. Behind Closed Doors, the last sentence sent chills down my spine! A tiny detail, but spoke volumes!
I loved that book! written so simply yet so deep
I’m missing Halloween so watching autumn/Halloween vlogs. You are my go to for fall so here I am lol
YES TO ALL OF YOUR POINTS ABOUT THE GUESTLIST UGHHHH!!! I nearly DNF'd it too for the exact same reason. Lucy Foley is just that good of an author to stir those kinds of emotions in readers about her characters lol I HIGHLYYYYY recommend reading the ending though, especially if you liked the ending of The Silent Patient 👀 ps. loved your hair and your top during your review of The Guestlist 🔥
I love it when you bake in your vlogs 😀 The atmosphere it creates is just spot on in my opinion 🥰
aw thank you Beth :) I like it when I bake too because then I GET TO EAT IT! Hahaha!
@@alexandraroselyn 😂That is the best part of baking for sure and every time I watch you eating something you’ve baked😒I’m jealous because I want some too😀😂😂😂
Omg im so excited thank you for making me smile lexi you are always my favorite booktuber
aw thank you!! That's so sweet!!
@@alexandraroselyn thank you lexi wish your safe and i hope you have a new vlog coming now because i really love your videos and i miss you
YESSSS I’m so glad I’m not the only one who’s feeling spooky in the middle of July!
I wish I had dnfed The Guest List. That was a 2 star read for sure.
I'm so glad it sounds like I wasn't the only one who didn't like it!!
1 star from me!
I have been just binging your videos lately! I love your content! It gets me through the work day! LOL
Oh my gosh, I’m so late to this vlog, I didn’t know you participated in Summerween and I’m so so happy to see this vlog! I’m obsessed with the way you edited this 😍😍😍 so inspiring and so cool!! Great music and vibes, and I just love your energy so much 😌💞
whaaaaaat!?! the guest list is the BEST.
I had similar feelings about The Silent Patient. It wasn’t a particularly striking piece of prose but he got me with the end so I felt like it deserved that 5th star!
Yes that twist was AMAZING!!
Chef's kiss✨✨✨ Edition is passed to next level.
thank you so much 🥺❤️
Hii Lexi ! Can I say that you are the best booktuber everr because I love your book recommendations especially your middle grade ones ! Can you please do a " best trilogies" series ?? I would love to see it !! ❤
I’m so glad you decided to take your time with the editing of this vlog! It really paid off! Your talents are literally unmatched.
awww thank you so much Margo! :)
When you're mindlessly scrolling UA-cam and refresh to see a new Lexi vlog. Audible excitement... also I was on vacation recently and went through Chattanooga and apparently, there is a cat lounge there called Naughty Cat Cafe where you hang out in a lounge with cats. What a world.
WAIT WHAT?! I didn’t know that!!!
When they see books -
People - Fountain of Knowledge, carrier of secrets, guider of life 🌟🧠♥️
Lexi- WEAPON!!! 👁️👄👁️
Hahahahahahahaha!
Can’t wait for spooky season! I love love love your videos/vibe in the fall! Please do a spooky/thriller recommendation video soon so I can prepare! Your recommendations are always amazing!👻
I also DNFed The Guest List a while back and thought maybe I should try again because everyone else seems to love it. I’m glad to see I wasn’t the only one. I did, however, love The Wives. I even loved the ending!
You should give The Arrangement by Kiersten Modglin a try. I’d love to see your opinion on it. 👻
oooo thank you for the suggestion!! I'll go ahead and look that one up!
I've been in such a fall mood since watching all the Summerween vlogs! I absolutely need to check out the Greek myths books by Stephen Fry. They look so pretty and I'm a sucker for all things Greek mythology 😅
Love this beginning on ye olde 📺. Aren’t we over summer already and just bring on the Fall? I feel thee 😊
The start of your video was EPIC!!! Laughed aloud and so hard. I also find the Strawberry Funnel Cake Fraps very addictive. Excellent video 🎃!
As a major Halloween fan, I'm so happy to have discovered Summerween (New to Booktube and Goodreads)! I will do it even though I'm late, thriller, true crime and horror being my favourite genres!
Lived the editing- was worth the wait! ❤️
Looking forward to your next video!!! 🤗
I always enjoy your music selections! Very relaxing! And you’re outro video is EVERYTHANG! 🙌👏🏾
Your editing skills are absolutely incredible. I’m in awe of your talent!
omgsh that's so kind of you thank you so much!!
I just ran into your channel and I really enjoy watching your videos. I was in a reading slump of a life time and you've helped me come out of it. It so happens you reviewed or spoken about a lot of the books on my list of books to read. Thank you for having such great taste in books.
I loved Hamnet, I was going to get you the UK hardback last year because it's GORGEOUS, but couldn't find it on Blackwells and Waterstones said they don't ship to PO boxes :(
I hope you'll enjoy, I couldn't put it down when I read it!
Also I love book sleeves, but I've mainly been using book jackets as I've been home a lot and didn't need to transport my books - book jackets are great to protect them at home whilst you're reading!
Yay! Someone else is ready for Fall!
What an amazing video and that editing at the beginning was just brilliant! You're an absolute star 🌠 Lexi and I adore all of your videos. Thank you for making me smile this afternoon and the "hotter than Hades," made me giggle so much and the food content is just dreams. Can't wait for another video, lots of bookish hugs 🤗 x
I love your hair when its curly/wavy! your beautiful love!:) I literally be waiting all week for your videos, your the best! i think it’s because your energy and positivity matches with mine! 🙏🏽🥰
Love your energy in your videos! 😀 Always makes me want to grab a coffee and baked good and do some good reading. Had problems getting through What Big Teeth too, but glad you were able to finish it.
I always enjoys watching your reading vlog because you always having fun and always have a beautiful smile on your face.
Your vlogs are always so much fun and this was no exception! And a mini book shopping excursion too 💜I recommend Karin Slaughter’s book Pretty Girls :)
All of them are on my tbr!!!!
The editing is so coollll. Omg how did u read such a book in the dark. I COULD NEVER 👻👻👻
I love your curly hair! So pretty on you!
I loved this Vlog and especially your special effects for Summerween! I have read "The Wives" and "The Guest List" and I agree with your critique of both. I am now excited to try "The Girls I've Been" on your enthusiastic recommendation! I love your channel, it makes my day when I see a new one come up!
my morning is madeee 🤍
This was so fun to watch! Loved the pacing and how you shared the week with is , entertaining & filled with great book descriptions. I admit I will now never read The Wives.
I’m so glad you did summerween 👻
Oh your curls are adorable!!!
One of my favorite videos from you!!!! Your so talented and entertaining! Love your channel. Love summerween 👻
You are a rock star! Love your videos❤️. I laughed out loud when you were about to turn of the lights😂.
hahaha it was SCARY!
My gosh! Those editing skills! Love it! Chefs kiss adore it!
thank you so much!!! xxx
So giddy when I saw that you were reading two of the books I’ve read already ❤️ I hope you enjoyed The Silent Patient and The Wives
I felt the same way about the guest list!
Had to come back and comment, The girls I’ve been was such a great book! Thank you for bringing it to my attention, I flew through it this week
I was hoping I would love The Guest List but I DNFed it for the exact same reason as you. I haven't read The Hunting Party though, I think it means I have to try it now!
"OH MY GOD IT'S HOTTER THAN HADES"
LOL 🤣🤣
I was waiting for this with so much enthusiasm that I am watching it when I should be doing my project due tomorrow. Chill only a lil bit is left ❤️✨
I hope your project went okayyyy
Your hair looks so so pretty throughout this video!! Such a great vlog! I miss fall so bad!
aw thank you so much. And ME TOO! It's almost here though!!
My thoughts exactly on The Guest List!!
The silent patient was so so good!! Im mad i missed summerween
Just came here to scream about how good Hamnet is. HAMNET IS SO GOOD!!!! I absolutely devoured it
My level of Summerween participation falls somewhere between The Nightbooks, The Mulberry Tree and Frost Hollow Hall however...
Let's just talk about how on point this video is even if the titles alone would scare me for life!!! Lol! Well done, Lexi!! 💕
I'm a retired elementary teacher. Teaching online drove me into retirement...but 40 yrs in the classroom was enough! I think your videos are so entertaining and funny! I subscribed and look forward to watching your videos. 🥰
I love Happy Go Lovely sleeves! I’m so glad you have some, they are gorgeous 👻
Yes! Rachel is so talented!!
Love the curly hair! Also, I dnf’d The Guest List after about 15 minutes of the audiobook 😐 I feel ya!
aw thank you!
Editing QUEEN!!! Much awaited vlog here😍😍😍 love the shirt at the beginning ❤️
thank you
If you’re looking for a thriller, I highly recommend None Shall Sleep. It’s Mindhunter meets Silence of the Lambs - but for teens! Its sooo good 👻
I don't like thrillers or horror anything but I love watching your summerween vlogs because of the fall feels so thanks for that! 👻
I feel you! I'm still on the fence about horror - it's pretty scary!!
I agree with you about The Guest List's group of crude guys.. they are the exact kind of people who if you see on the street, as a female I'm making a U-turn ASAP! I did end up finishing the book anyway and it was only okay.. so be assured you didn't miss out on anything major!
Loved this vlog btw watching before my exam to get some serotonin omg 💞
omgsh good luck on your exams!!
👻👻👻I loved the music in your video. This video was very well done. I watched til the end…hence the ghost emoji. I read The Wives and gave it a 4 star. I hated the protagonist because of her insecurities. I read the Guest List and gave it a 5 star. I did not like the bullies either but I pushed through it and read the whole thing and was so glad I did. The imagery in the book made me feel like I was there. Great thriller. I have not read the other books you talked about. I follow you on goodreads and I love ❤️ your channel. Have a great day!
Thank you for your recommendations and Happy haunting!!!!!!!!
👻🎃🕷
Also you’re absolutely right, Rachel at Happy Go Lovely is so nice and amazing.
and so talented!!
The Wives sounds like Tell Me A Secret. You wanna be mad, read that. Holy Cow. That ending was absolutely RAGE INDUCING. Lmao
Lexie, Daughters of Sparta was SO GOOD!!! I was shocked, it's my new favourite Greek mythology book!
I just bought the silent patient and the wives the other week I’m pretty excited to read them! Also I’m definitely gonna check out those book sleeves!
I hope you like both books! I love thrillers so much!!
Wow the intro with the tv! It alone deserves a like!😯🎉 I definately want to check out The girls l've been! It sounds really good!
Hi Lexi! I highly highly recommend the audiobooks for all the Stephen Fry books!! They’re soooo good and I think you’ll really enjoy them! 👻
I would recommend listening to the audible version of mythos instead of reading it!!! It’s so worth it and Stephen Fry is an amazing narrator :)
Yes! I've heard the audiobook is amazing I'm planning on listening to it while I read along! Thank you for the suggestion :)
I just discovered your youtube channel and I love it !♥️
All the girl i’ve been and the silent patient seems really good !
aw thank you! And yay I'm so glad you're here!! We love reader friends in this house :)
That intro is so cool!!!!!!
Lexy, I looove your curls😍you look so pretty!😊💕
When it’s only been 8 minutes and you’ve already bought one of the recommendations 😂💛
We love to see it❤️
I love when your vlogs include a baking element in them 😊 2 thrillers I enjoyed recently were His and Hers by Alice Feeney and Girl, 11 by Amy Suiter Clarke. I listened to both of them and highly recommend the audiobooks for both!
Ahhh, yes! The pairing of Mrs. Dolloway & The Hours is something that I want to do too! I saw the movie ofThe Hours when I was younger…so now I need to read the book. I didn’t like the characters in The Guest List either. 😂😂😂 I finished it…but I liked The Hunting Party better too. I know it sounds funny to say about a thriller…but The Guest List was a bit too dark for me because of the characters & situations. I think it’s because it was a wedding atmosphere…but it was depressing to see this couple try to get married & these people come together. I like how she writes the multiple perspectives & the build up with her timelines tho. I’ve been wanting to read The Wives. It gets such mixed reviews so I wonder where I will fall. Well, I hope you’re having a Happy day! ☺️✨✨ I love you! 🥰🥰🥰 Happy Reading 🤓📚✨
Hi Autumn!! Thank you for always leaving me such lovely comments
Hi Lexie! I grew up in the Midwest, and it can get nasty hot out there. Keep up the awesome work!
I was just about to watch Halloween town cause I was craving fall vibes! Thankyou for all of these suggestions
omg NOW I WANT TO WATCH HALLOWEEN TOWN😩
i have always loved your halloween intro music
OMG! Mythos!! 😍😍 The audiobook is the best! ☺️
Hey Alexander just subscribed to your channel two week ago. And love your UA-cam videos there so much fun to watch. 👻👻👻
This was really fun!!! I created my own Spooky Summer TBR as well!!! 👻👻👻
You should read (if you haven’t already) lies she told by Cate Holahan, Emma in the night by Wendy Walker, and a good girls guide to murder by Holly Jackson. And not a thriller but I highly recommend punk 57!
Oh, I'm actually reading Mythos at the moment, so it's cool to see that you're going to get it as well! also, 👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻 😂😂 also, the intro is amazinggggggg
“This book is messy and I am here for it” 😆😆😆
You should read Jane Eyre and then The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde. It’s the first book in my favorite speculative fiction series but it can be read as a stand alone. It’s about a literary detective trying to find who stole the original Jane Eyre manuscript. It’s very funny and is basically a book (series) about books. Also a must read if you have read Jane Eyre and love it. And if you haven’t read Jane Eyre you need to read Jane Eyre
Thank sounds so cool! And I actually haven't read Jane Eyre yet so you're right! I really do need to get on that!
Love The Eyre Affair and Thursday Next!
I'm just reading random comments & I just added that !! I just got Jane Eyre to read soon so this sounds super fun for after
true the characters were so f***** up in the guest list just to probably make the book more interesting. i got that
46 MINUTES OMG A QUEEEN
I have never been this early!!
lots of love
