it was so heartwarming to see you get happy and excited every time you opened a box... you ARE deserving of all this love and appreciation! feliz cumpleañitos (atrasado), te adoramos con el alma.
I live in Panama and I'm a junior in high school,we had to read Cien años de Soledad this year but I just couldn't read it, but looking at that version makes me want to do it
🎂 it's late but hbd mel! i've been w/ ur channel since u had 10,000 subscribers.. i just love your videos, and your existence in this community is definitely making my life and everyone else's lives better thank u so much and we hope the best for you! : ))
Love the Crucible… also I loved teaching it and my students loved reading it. Assigned readings can be amazing… it all depends on how the teacher actually teaches it.
You mentioned you wanted to get into poetry. I’ve only started dipping my toe in poetry but I recommend Nikita Gill as a modern intro author. She has one book of poems based on Greek mythology (Great Goddesses: Life Lessons from Myths and Monsters) which I am in love with! She also has a book of poems based on fairytales (Fierce Fairytales: Poems and Stories to Stir Your Soul). Note that I am a sucker for anything Greek mythology or fairytale related so my recommendation may not be for everyone. Also, Happy Belated Birthday!
As someone else that had to read it in school I have to say that I absolutely loved it and my class got to act it out and that made me love it even more. I think you’ll love it!
Happy belated birthday ! 🥳 Seeing you so spoiled with gifts and so happy is so heartwarming and it made my night 💕 I almost teared up when you got A Winter's Promise. Not sure you're going to like it, but the fact that that book means so much to me and the fact that it has reached people all around the world makes me so so so happy.
HAPPY BDAY MELLL I'VE BEEN WATCHING I FOR A YEAR NOW AND THE 1ST VIDEO I WATCHED WAS LAST YEARS BIRTHDAY 😭😭I'm so soo proud of you and all you've achieved!! Lysm and stay safee💕💕💕
The mirror visitor series is sooo good. I’m on the third book and while I will say it’s definitely not a lighthearted series, it’s beautifully written and very immersive 💕 good luck
Hope you had an amazing birthday! I just got wuthering heights the other day because ,it was a beautiful purple fabric hardback. Looking forward to reading it and hearing you review too. Really love your channel and all the contact you create. I’ve only found you in the last couple months but has helped me so much on bad days.
Put this on for "company" while I was working and I got caught up in all your emotions and happiness!! So cute! Can't wait to see your birthday book haul again this year. :D
Gotta say seeing that version of Plain Bad Heroines headed right over to book depository in the middle of your video🙈😁😁😁🎂 Hope you had an amazing Birthday Mel thanks for all the hard work you put into your channel every video you put out has been so entertaining you deserve the best! 🥳🎉🎂🥳
I might be one of those kids here in the U.S. that actually kind of likedddd some of the assigned readings we had in school????????? Like... the Crucible and teh Great Gatsby hit different for me in sophomore year... but like it was kid of a phase for me LMAO -- hope you had a wonderful birthday! Love love love you
🎂You're a joy to watch, Mel!🎂 I will say that I read the crucible play and watch the movie in school and I really enjoyed it! I found it so funny in an unbelievable, how-on-earth-do-these-people-not-see-anything-wrong-with-this sort of way. I hope you'll enjoy it too!☺
Oh Mel, I'm so happy you got so many gifts for your birthday. You're so deserving of them 🥺💗 I also haven't read any of these despite some being on my TBR...which goes to show I should be reading 🏃♀️ Side Note: Omg these edits are KILLING me, they're so good!! 😂 🎂
Happy belated birthday, Mel!! 💗🎂 I hope you had a great day! You got so many great books!!😍❤️ And also the editions of sense and sensibility and persuasion look stunning! What edition are those?😍🎂
😭 Mel your reactions. I really wished I was able to send you something to your birthday ❤️ you and the citadel is the best thing that happened to me this year. You have no idea how important you are for so many people ❤️😭
🎂🍰 My favorite middle grade series right now are: The Winterhouse trilogy by Ben Guterson and Morrigan Crow (Nevermoor) series by Jessica Townsend. Love your videos!
I'm planning on reading the song of Achilles in December I absolutely loved circe I really enjoyed sense and sensibility much more than Mansfield park it was the first book from austen that I read big mistake doing that
I would suggest reading the history of how the crucible came about. It was written during the McCarthy era and meant to show the folky of blacklisting for socialism. It adds a depth to the story.
Yasss Heathers so cool you were in the show! Also love the crucible but yep it is emotionally draining. If you can watch the national theatre production with Richard Armitage online I'd defs recommend
Wait… is she living in Panama? Or is she in the states? Cause if she is living in Panama, girl how you get those books? I live in Costa Rica and it is so hard to get books here.
it was so heartwarming to see you get happy and excited every time you opened a box... you ARE deserving of all this love and appreciation! feliz cumpleañitos (atrasado), te adoramos con el alma.

im a Nieves as well but my family is in Mexico!
