Foxenwood also makes me think about the house in The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches with the peaceful tea, light magic and found family cozy ambiance 🦊
Yes!! I totally agree! ❤❤
As soon as Lexi said "grumpy sunshine" this book shot into my mind 😍🦊
My recommendations list:
-Badass set of characters: The Best Bad Things by Katrina Carrasco a spy/gumshoe novel starring a female protagonist
-Cozy Mystery: Finding Fortune by Delia Ray. It is middle grade, but it is so cozy and fun
-Too scary to read: Literally could not even pick up My Best Friend's Exorcism, so I guess it fits the bill lol
-Makes you cry like a baby: Song of Achilles. 100%. Even thinking about it now is making me misty-eyed
-Exciting travel vibes: The Hobbit or The Dragonlance series, starting with Dragons of Autumn Twilight. They are traveling adventures, but both are the first I pictured for this prompt
-Spooky: The Glass Witch (middle grade, just tips over into spooky) or Our Shadows Have Claws (YA and above for stronger spooky short stories)
-A book like All too Well: Pride and Prejudice for a classic or Blindsided by Amy Daws. I've not seen the video by T.Swift, but based on your description, that's what I'd recommend. Blindsided is literally red heads, romance, a little toxic at times, and smut for the fun of it
-Grumpy Sunshine trope: House in the Cerulean Sea. I know it isn't exactly the prompt, but there is a bit of that sunshine and grump aesthetic
-Feels like a warm cuppa tea: Legends and Lattes. Absolutely perfect
-Stranger Things vibes: agree with your assessment of My Best Friend's Exorcism. Nothing can top that lol
-Good for a quiet early morning with coffee: How Do You Live? by Genzaburo Yoshino. If you are a fan of Miyazaki (studio Ghibli), this was his favorite book growing up, and it's easy to see why. This book romanticizes everyday moments we often take for granted. This book is a clear inspiration for the Ghibli animation studio styles. It must have been a heavy influence
-To get out of a reading slump: Stardust by Neil Gaiman, either hard copy or audiobook. Or any audiobook. Many of us booklovers feel guilty listening to books, but if you put on something, hear those voices, you get pulled into a story. Sometimes, it is all you need to break through and find the time/energy/passion again
-Nostalgic: Alice in Wonderland or the Harry Potter series OR the Redwall series by Brian Jacques
-As magical as Harry Potter and Nevermoor: The Train to Impossible Places series. Really fun characters, fast-paced middle grade, great for whole family
-Gothic romance: Jane Eyre. It's a classic, but there is a reason
-Character driven: A Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet or Piranesi. Different vibes. If you like more sci-fi, go with A Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet. If you like fantasy/mystery, Piranesi might be for you
-Mixes mystery and humor: Almost Super by Marion Jensen. It is middle grade. It is silly. Our whole family was laughing while we tried to solve the book for ourselves. Very cute and lighthearted
-Mermaid vibes/cover: Sea Witch by Sarah Henning (Ursula's side of things)
-Multigenerational: If by that, you mean the whole family can enjoy, I'd say A Series of Unfortunate Events
-Stockholm syndrome but make it sexy: A Curse so Dark and Lonely (Cursebreaker Series) by Brigid Kemmerer
-Feels like spring/new beginnings: Heartstopper series for quick love story or Emma for something longer. (To add to it, my Emma cover is stunning and looks like spring)
-Housewife Murder: The Poison Keeper by Deborah Swift (Italy's aqua tofana killer)
-Graphic novel with breathtaking artwork: Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind for YA and higher (classic Miyazaki art styles with sprawling scenes) or the Hilda series for Middle grade and higher (the art is breathtakingly whimsical)
-Has a fashionable character: A Blade so Black (book one of the Nightmare-verse series). Every character seems to be described so fashionable. Especially Alice and the Hatter
-Feels like a beach vacay: Beach Read of course! or Flat Share. I always think of quick romance books as the perfect beach vacation book. Both a fast-paced, cute, and fun
-Set on Cape Cod: na
-Black love: The Neighbor Favor by Kristina Forest
-Set in a Cottagecore world, magical elements, sweet romance: The Tea Dragon Society. SO CUTE!
-Fairies: na
-Foxenwood feels: League of Gentlewomen Witches or The Mysterious Benedict Society
-Features art: The Empress of Art by Susan Jaques a very fun and detailed book on Catherine the Great and her deep art collection
If you made it this far, and you'd like me to elaborate on any of my listed titles, let me know! I am happy to explain. Happy Reading!
updated for anyone interested
Omg Samantha!! I love that you did the list with your own recs!!! And your recs are so GOOD!!!!!❤❤❤❤
@@alexandraroselyn aw thanks! Some were challenging to think of. I wish I kept a list of everything I’ve read.
Nice video :) You should do a video where you do blind picks from all your unread tbr and then do a weekend or week long readathon from the blind picks. Maybe include like some thrift shopping, picnics and or nature walks etc.... I think that would be so fun to see and you would knock off some of the back list tbr :)
What a cute idea!!!! I think I’ll do this in the spring love it!
@@alexandraroselyn haha you should invite Gavin to do it with you 🥰
These are some of my favorite videos! I love getting new recommendations that aren't normal on social media or overly hyped!! Thank you for the new books to add to my TBR
Oh yay I’m so glad you liked it!!!
For both the prompts "it feels like spring" and "cottagecore with magic and a cute romance", I highly highly recommend Goose Girl by Shannon Hale, it has nature based magic, beautiful nature descriptions and writing, a found family, a very cute and sweet romance, the main character is a princess, who had her place forcibly taken by her servant, so she goes and gets a job as a goose girl for the king and lives in a small cottage going out to the field every day talking to geese. It's a really beautiful book
I totally agree! That is such a sweet and fantastical book. So are the other ones in the series!
as soon as you said "i read a book that did all the things it was meant to do, but was too scary for me" i immediately was like oh that's how i feel about IM THINKING OF ENDING THINGS but that's probably not what she's talking about because i have never heard anyone else describe it in that way, but then you said it and i felt so seen and heard lol
Yet another fantastic list to add to my always growing TBR! These sound perfect! 💚
My TBR got so much longer! This is really impressive that you could think of so many specific recs on the spot. 💚
Okay now I want a house tour so we can see all of your books 😍 love your videos and this idea, all of these books sound good 💚
very specific recs are my favorite type pf videos I'm so glad you're doing two!
Your channel is helping me IMMENSELY during a very hard time and I am so thankful ♥️♥️ I love playing your videos to help relax and build my tbr list!
So many recommendations of this video went straight to my Wan to read list! Thank you Lexi, can't wait for part 2 in April💚💚
Thank you Laura!! 😊❤
I discovered your videos a few days ago and I can't stop watching! I love all of your recommendations and now my TBR is a million times longer than what it was (not that that is a bad thing). Also i am obsessed with your bookshelves!! I look forward to watching more from you!!
Omggg hiii lexi !!! I love your choice of books ! Surely gonna pick some of them ! Tysm for posting, you are such a lovely soul !!! You are my major inspo for reading !!! 💖🌸💌✨
Awww thanks Safia! You always leave me to loveliest comments!
I have started The Marvellers now and I 100% agree that it has Harry Potter and Nevermoor vibes. 🦊
YAYYYYYY!! I love hearing that!!❤❤❤❤
Oh i can’t wait!!
Omg that artwork is BEAUTIFUL
Your sparkly eyeshadow is stunnnning!! You should totally do a grwm makeup routine in your next vlog ☺️💗
I've automatically added Keeper of Enchanted Rooms to my TBR, but I'd love to hear more about it from you!
Feels like spring and new beginnings - A City Baker’s Guide to Country Living! 16:43
SO EXCITED!!! 🖤💛💛💕🖤💛💛🖤💕💕🧡🧡💙💖💖💛💛💓💓💗🧡💙💚💚💜💕🖤💛🖤🖤💖💖🧡💙💙💚💚💚💚💛💛🖤🖤💗💗💛🖤💕💜💙🧡💖💖💗💗💗📖📚📙📙📚📖📚📙📙📙📚📖📚📙📙📚📖📖📚📙📚📖📖📚📚
Definitely adding a few of these to look into! "The Marvellers" is really good and definitely is a good one for that request. My own personal recommendation for graphic novel with breathtaking artwork is "W.I.T.C.H.", by Elisabetta Gnone, Alessandro Barbucci, and Barbara Canepa.
Also, I don't know much about cottage core, but from what I do know and as someone who's currently reading "A Far Wilder Magic" I'm not quite sure it will fit the vibes of the request. It definitely primarily takes place out in the countryside of their world, but the story is a lot darker and contains more serious themes than what the blurb tells. I'd more recommend the manga "Snow White with the Red Hair," if you want something a little lighter.
I need to read legends & latte 😤
It’s so cute!!
Loved this list of recommendations, wrote some I had not heard of . Thanks Lexi 💚
I got so many great recommendations!! Thanks Lexi!💚💚💚
💚 so fun! I love The House In the Cerulean Sea for Foxenwood found family love!!
I’m currently reading The Seas after having it on my shelf for years and it’s so good so far 💚
Thank you so much for this video. Finally got so many recommendations in a single video. ❤️❤️❤️
Yay!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
💚 💚 Great video Lexi!! Looking forward to part two. Also, I think Half A Soul by Olivia Atwater would classify as Cottagecore romance also. 😊
Totally agree!!!
You are swimming in books and I love it! Great video & amazing library! 🙌 📚 💚
💚So many wonderful recommendations!!!!
My local library is going to love you! I watch these videos with my Goodreads, and Amazon, open in another tab, but I have been putting in a ton of recommendations to my library to save my wallet now too lol So far, they have loved your recommendations because they have approved the requests that I have made 💚🦊
I would love to find a non-scary mystery along the lines of knives out!
💚💚💚Brilliant vlog and what an exciting choice of books x
Love this video!!! Makes me not want to Not go to work and just read🤣 please recommend a fantasy mystery novel that you just wish would never end😅
Thank you so much for the video, really enjoyed it and it gave me so many ideas for my TBR 💚
Yay! More books to buy haha love this!! 💚💚💚
What a fun time as always! Thank you for the excellent recommendations. I immediately raced off to purchase Janet Hills book! It looks so beautiful, and I can’t wait! 🦊💚🦊
I hope we both like it!!! ❤❤
@@alexandraroselyn if nothing else it will look pretty on our shelves!
I love watching videos where I get new recommendations from someone who has the same taste that I do 💚
Happy Sunday Angel Pop ❤️ I'm excited for this one.
😊❤❤❤
This was again a great and enjoyable video like only you can make them. Thank you 💚
oh my god!! never knew that the school for good and evil was gonna make it to the list this way. i just completed reading all the 6 books of this series and i am awestruck. so damn comfy. although the story kind of starts deviating from the 4th book itself, yet, i find this to be like a long warm hug. grateful. xoxo❤️
this series will always have my heart it is so good! it honestly made me fall in love with reading
@@missraviolichloe ikr happened to me too
I ran out of space in my journal, writing down all the recommendations 😃 thank you! 💚
Aww thanks Vanessa!! 😊❤
Same here ✨
I know I'm late to the party; however, the prettiest graphic novel I have ever read is The Tea Dragon Society.
If you're looking for a book that features/talks about art, I'd highly recommend I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson. I know that not everyone enjoyed this book, but I thought it was very beautiful. The writing style is very metaphorical and literally makes it feel like you're stepping into a painting. It's about many different kinds of love (between twins, a boy and a girl, 2 boys, a family, and also abt the love for art), and it also talks about grief, belief and being true to yourself. Very beautiful.
💚 love your videos. You’re a delight to watch. Thanks for the book recommendations.
So excited to get through these 😃 may be I will try this idea too , but.d.w I wanted to tell you I read the book - Every heart a doorway and absolutely loved the writing style ❤️
For the "like all too well" prompt -- I haven't read it but from everything I've heard Magnolia Parks is exactly like that!
Got your letter yesterday Lexi! ❤️ Thank you so much! This past few weeks has been brutal and your letter was the spark of joy I needed! 😊
Omg IM SO HAPPY YOU GOT YOUR LETTER!!!!!!!! That makes me so happy I can’t wait for our next letter exchange!! 😊❤️
For feels like spring/new beginnings I immediately thought of The Secret Garden. For a book about artists/creatives - Just Kids by Patti Smith
Great video!
Recommend me a book that…. Is a who done it, with a romance subplot 🥰
Love your videos!
So enjoyed this video!!
Loved the recs! 💚
Great recommendations, Lexi! 💚💚💚
Good morning lexi!! Love the video as usual. ❤House of hunger, can't spell tea without treason, the marvellors, the mermaid one. Omg right when I said I wouldn't buy any more books...even my mailman judges me(he's like "another book huh")🤣🤣
Hahahaha this is so me when I watch booktube videos too!! 😊❤️❤️❤️
I meant to read Less but it fell off my radar. Thank you!! 💚
Finishing Emily’s Encyclopedia of Fairies. Just picked up Seven Days in June at the library. 😊

Great Video Lexi and I absolutely loved Stolen 🦋 It was so fascinating and I already have the sequel and can’t wait to dive into it after I finish Anastasia by Sophie Lark which btw Is So Good You Will Love It Lexi 📖🥰🥰
☁️☁️so happy to hear from you again!
😊❤❤❤
I would love to have you in my back pocket when I do my TBR game to pick my reads for each month. I pick a card that tells me what kind of book to find but so far Feb would be the second month in a row that I had dnfs after dnfs
So many great recs! I adored Emily Wildes Encyclopaedia of Faries, so lovely ♡
Sirens and Muses is a book I want to get💚
Thanks as always!! 💚💚💚
Came for the recs, stayed because it was just as fun to try to guess what you'd recommend ❤
💚💚💚Loved this video!
Sunday couldn't have been better, thank you Lexi ☺️ 💚 ,
Love from, Assam
💚 So many book recs. Gonna be breaking my bank account.
Hahhhahaha I’m glad you found some that sound good!!!
Oh The Hacienda was super spooky!! Loved that one! One Day was so amazing, that made me cry like a little baby! Leaving a green heart even though I am using my laptop lol!
The Hacienda was indeed spooky. I also thought The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell and What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher would have been good choices.
Hey Lex! I am sitting here watching your old videos while working remote for my job, and I had a thought. I know you moved, but if you are still in Chattanooga, I think there are many of us who would love you to do a video of your favorite restaurants, coffee shops (I know you usually mention a couple in vlogs), book stores, good places to read, the Chattanooga market, etc. My mom and I have talked about doing a weekend up there (we are in NC), and I think a lot of us on here would LOVE a vlog tour! Just a thought. I hope you have a lovely day!!💚
Loved this💚
💚 awesome recommendations!! Have a great day!
💚💚💚 Just went out and bought My Best Friend’s Exorcism. Can’t wait to read!
such a fun video, thank you!! 💚 💚💚💚💚
A book that features art that I really enjoyed was Sacre Bleu by Christopher Moore. And a book that feels like spring and a new beginning, I immediately thought of The Secret Garden.
Graphic novel with stunning art: In Waves. Made me cry. Also taught me about surfing.
Multigenerational book: Homegoing. I usually don’t read such heavy adult books but this weaving of hundreds of years of one family in Africa was incredible.
So much fun!! Recommend me a book that.... gets me psyched for Spring Cleaning! Green Heart + Fox (when emojis won't work, LOL)
Great recommendations! Have you by chance got a recommendation for Outer Banks vibes? Beachy, treasure hunting, and some romance thrown in?
I knew immediately which book you were going to pick for “too scary to read” - I will forever recommend I’m thinking of ending things!!! terrifying, but the most engaging book I’ve ever read!!
Yes! I may read it again. It was terrifying
💚💚 loved this video!
Garden/new beginnings: The Garden of Small Beginnings by Abbi Waxman, (Very) Funny mystery: Scot Free by Catriona McPherson 💚
💚 love the video!
Recommend me a book that is Hades & Persephone meets mafia!!!
Great video!! 💚
I am really really sorry about missing your last few videos as I have had a heart attack so I’m looking forward to seeing your other amazing videos prayers and thoughts for you and your family love your family friend John ❤❤❤
Omg John are you okay now???? I’m so sorry omg I’m sending lots and lots of positive vibes! Your comments always brighten my day and I’m genuinely worried now are you alright??
@@alexandraroselyn getting better slowly and thank you for your amazing and positive vibes as it means a lot to me so thank you 🙏 from the bottom of my heart ❣
@@johnsaxongitno4life588 of course!! I’m just glad you’re okay!❤❤❤
@@alexandraroselyn 💙💙💙
💚 Very fun !
Your necklace is beautiful! Love your videos!
Thank you!!!
So many good recos 💚💚💚🌿🫶🏻
The Hacienda was awesome!
Ellie Jorden- Ghost Trapper!!! such a great series
💚💚 Love recommendation videos!
💚 love all of your videos!! ❤❤
love the recommendations 💚
💚 Just finished Half A Soul by Olivia Atwater (as recommended by you on a previous video), and I’m obsessed! I loved it. Can you recommend anything else that has similar vibes? Thanks x
If you love the never ending story, you should read the princess bride (if you haven’t already)
I lovvveeeed The Princess Bride!!!
The Last Unicorn also has the same vibes.
I love your videos so much! 💚
I can recommend Susan Vreeland for books centered around real art/artists (historical fiction). I have read The Luncheon of the Boating Party, The Girl in Hyacinth Blue, The Passion of Artemisia, and The Forest Lover and have enjoyed them all.
For a Stockholm romance: Tenderness. It's YA but I cried when I read it back in high school.
By Robert Cormier
"Stolen" by Lucy Christopher is one of my all time favourite books. You know those books that you read & it just leaves an impression on you for a while afterwards? This was one of them books for me
actually I read “song of achillies” and it didn’t make me cry. I despised the book. you know what was a good book to cry to? “A court of silver flames” was the best book and it was emotional. ilyyyyy ❤
Hahahahahaha! Well I guess everyone has different taste! But I’m glad you have a favorite tear jerker book!! 😊❤️
For me The Neverending Story was a very enchanting movie. I had absolutely no idea that it was a real actual book. I was ten (the perfect age!) when I watched the movie and I watched it ten times in a row. To say it was impactful would be a gross understatement. When I was in college I was waiting on my fiance to finish a meeting that took place at a library and in a town that I didn't live in--I was wandering the stacks when I came across The Neverending Story, the book. I was astounded. And naturally sat right down and read it! To be honest, I prefer the movie but I'll always remember my astonishment and delight over stumbling onto the book.
