I read ACOMAF right after my sexual assault and feyre and I had a lot of similar symptoms of PTSD and it honestly is one of my favorite books for that reason and it has stuck with me because she helped me through that hard time and helped me feel not so alone and feel like I can get stronger. Love ACOMAF ❤️
Your cats are the cutest! Also, I understand your "not feeling good enough" feelings. We all have those moments. Just know that I, and thousands of other people love and believe in you!
Thank you 😊💙 And you're fine! I know it happens to everyone I just feel like people don't expect me to feel it anymore since my channel has grown and I wanted to make a point to talk about it 🙈
I literally have been binging your videos for the last few weeks because they make me happy. Every morning when I do my makeup I put on one of your videos because you're so enthousiastic. I honestly don't care what kind of videos they are, I watch them because of your personality.
I just wanted to say that you inspire me , I think you are really brave and strong to do what you do and I like that you say what you want and you make you’re opinions known, you are an amazing person !!!
Brittany the Bibliophile ft. T'challas poop loop I honestly want to be a booktuber/vlogger but am too scared to. I hope I get there one day too. We got this, bb ❤
This is the best video ever. Talking about "ourself" and being so honest (like you are in this video) is not easy. You are a GREAT booktuber and you ARE Good Enough, you are MORE than good enough. You speak with your heart and you are knowledgeable, and fun and Human. We all have doubts, life is not easy, but when you do what you love, then let be happen , let it flow and be happy. Books are a big, big part of your life, so enjoy doing your videos, and sharing your thoughts and comments with ALL of us!!! LOVE YOU!!!!! YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH, let this sink in your brain! :) Sorry for reassuring you what asked not to do.
Congratulations on 31K!!!! Gjhghgj. You misspelling witch. I screamed! YESSSS to supporting Rhiannon!!! They deserved all the love and support!!! Shoutout to your less people more cat mug! I need that mug in my life!!! I hope I get to do my reread of ACOMAF this year as well cuz I know that book will BREAK me all over again. SJM really did that! Really gave us a book that dealt with assault and trauma and coming out of it a bit jaded, a bit changed but with so much strength and thinking of Feyre's story and her growth and transformation has me crying all over again. Luna deciding that she wants to just live outside your suitcase? Me AF!! The pins are so cute!!! OMG!!!! And I see absolutely NO flaws!!! Oh love, that voice in your head is so familiar I am amazed. As a fellow realist, who also believes that she's not good enough for Booktube, let me say this as honestly as possible. And I'm going to be quick cuz I don't want to make you uncomfortable. You are gorgeous. Your makeup is always on point. Your hair is flawless. Your cats are adorable. And your taste in books is impeccable. I hit subscribe and have not missed a single video you've made ever since because you are the complete package.
ahhh thank you! And I know (so embarrassing🙈) You described my feelings on ACOMAF SO WELL 😭and you are too too kind. Your comments always make my day YOU always make my day 💙 never stop being so amazing and such a lovely, kind hearted human being. I appreciate you immensely!
I've been watching your videos for about a month now and yes, maybe the way you looked in a thumbnail, caught my eye. But there are plenty of conventionally good looking UA-camrs that I see one video of and can't stand watching any more. But you just have such a warm and passionate way of talking about reading and journalling, that I couldn't help but subscribe. You remind me of one of my other favorite booktubers, Gabby Reads, you don't have the same taste in books at all, but you both talk about books in such an amazing way and seem like genuinely awesome people.
omg I love how you were so excited about the stars! I also LOVE looking at the stars and seeing the big dipper and everything. The night sky makes me so happy as well! I once went to the west coast and we were staying close to Death Valley in the literal desert and I'd NEVER seen so many stars before in my life that I literally nearly cried haha Oh wow I feel you so bad on what you said about not feeling good enough for BookTube. I'm also a realist and i'm also comparing myself to other BookTubers and I should. not. do. that!!! Oh wow I think we're nearly on the same page with A Clash of Kings hahah. It's also going really slow (since I'm annotating is as well!) but I'm so excited about it! If you want to - loosely - buddy read it, let me know! Amazing vlog as usual 💛
YES!! Death Valley is INCREDIBLE! And I know, honestly it's the comparing that probably gets to me the most 🙈 we shouldn't do it! We are most definitely good enough! AND YES!!! Let's loosely buddy read it! I can't promise I'll keep up but it will definitely motivate me to read it more!
i love your videos so much and you deserve all the success that comes and with channel. you deserve all the friends and positive memories this community brings. i love your personality not just your looks, your an intelligent young women and you should be proud of that. and i know it normal to feel down once in a while but remember your loved and cherished in this community!
I’m rewatching your old vlogs bc I’m bored😂 but I wanted to say that yeah you are gorgeous, but I am subscribed to you because I absolutely LOVE hearing you talk about books. As a fellow Sarah J. Maas lover, your book talks of the TOG series always leave me in awe. Like the way you analyze and inspect those books is amazing! You’ve said theories that I don’t think I thought of and it was genius. And you’re obviously so very passionate about books and her books and just all the books. It’s wonderful to listen to. And finally, you’re super smart!!🤓 It’s so clear that you are because when you talk about books, theories, themes, etc. you know so much and have read so much and I’m always thinking about how smart you are. Just wanted to let you know💙💙💙💫
i completely agree with your reasoning for liking Heir of Fire and ACOMAF bc SAAAAME. The fact that they're able to not only learn how to love themselves again, but they surround themselves with people who also love them and cherish them and OOF i love those books sm ima cry
I accidentally watched your video on how you annotate your book and from then I subscribed to your channel. I also love books, but I don’t have the guts to have my own UA-cam channel. You deserve this! You love books and that’s all that matters. Just enjoy what you’re doing.
I've been reading TOG with my boyfriend recently after we read ACOTAR a few months ago, and I told him the EXACT SAME THING when we were reading Heir of Fire. Reading both of those just makes me so emotional, but especially ACOMAF. Just something about seeing these two badass, strong women REALIZE that they're strong and badass in their darkest moments is sooo inspiring to me. I always, always read ACOMAF when I'm feeling super down about myself!
Like I know I comment a lot but I swear when I found out about your channel I was like wow you changed me I swear you made me love books you made me love a lot of things I always tell my mom that you changed me and always grateful ❤️
I relate to everything you say. I don't feel good enough either because people started to unsubscribe from me once I started to change my content to books and stuff. I think it's good for you to talk about yourself and getting stuff off your chest. Hope you get more subscribers and feel more confident!
honestly one of the most relatable parts of this vlog was your clip of you looking at the stars cos that is me every single night i get home from work, i'm like "damn what do the stars look like tonight" 🥰 (also i'm not gonna reaffirm you but like 1000% can relate to every single thing you said in your discussion bit) AND ALSO you have singlehandedly made me want to binge all the acotar books OKAY you're the best
ahhh yes! the stars are just so wonderful 😭And thank you love 💙 I know that it's something people struggle with and I'm just glad to have shared that part of me 🙈 and PLEASE DO!!!! and let me know what you think!
I relate to the "sometimes you think a books not gonna be as good as the first time you read it" I recently re read the dark tower and I wasn't sure if I would still love certain parts as much as I did the first time but I enjoyed them more. Same with name of the wind.
Your book reviews are well thought out and informative. Your videos are inspiring and I like the way you talk about things and create videos. I support and subscribe you not despite your realistic side but because of it. You are great! ✨️ Also, your cats are wonderful. 🐈⬛
Firstly, I just wanted to say I adore your channel - I quite literally binge-watched/listened to all of your videos for the last 3-4 weeks during work and free time and have even stopped reading the TOG series (on Assassin's Blade) until I could finish your videos. Secondly, one tiny fun fact because I am a new SJM fan since this year is that I live in the same county as her, which is just a bit north of Philly! I'm going to try to condense my thoughts into a shorter message, but I wanted to also say I completely understand the realist/pessimist debate because I am the exact same as you. I want to remind you that you are always, always good enough, even though I don't practice what I preach as often. You have wonderful insight and a glowing personality, and that's exactly why you have the following you do ❤️ You have huge expectations for yourself, and you do a fantastic job of meeting them. I'm sure the last thing any of your viewers want is for you to get anxious or overwhelmed. We support you for you!! My final thought related to ACOMAF - I read this series first before TOG, and it truly changed me as a person. I'm diagnosed with PTSD due to trauma from an ex, and reading ACOTAR plus ACOMAF felt like a fantasy-genre version of my life. Watching her heal and crying with her through the flashbacks, triggers and aftermath of trauma made me adore this series beyond what I imagined. I've been told TOG will destroy me, so I'm definitely bracing myself for this ride!
Hey, Britt! I totally get having a realistic viewpoint. Also, I love your channel. Honestly, watching you reread the ACOTAR series it makes me want to reread them like RIGHT NOW. I love Sarah J Maas, so I am really glad that I found you, where we have pretty much the same opinions on Sarah's books. Much love
What a great way of explaining your love of Heir of Fire, mostly I like that book because of romance and her admitting, and accepting who she truly is (trying not to spoil it is so difficult)
You deserve every subscriber, and more 💙💚💛 I definitely look forward to your opinions because you're so real and I know you'll tell your honest thoughts 💭
I've always heard that the mind is the devil's playground, and boy I'm believing it more and more everyday! You made sense in everything you said, and I can totally relate. I barely post videos because I doubt myself constantly and I'm a pretty positive person. I feel like I'm not creative enough, eloquent enough, I'm too old for the community etc... so you're not alone!!! On another note I always told myself that I would never read ACOTAR but you're making me curious 😂 great Vog!! Xoxo
I'm the only person on Earth who prefers ACOTAR over ACOMAF. don't get me wrong I love both but I just love the first book SO much! I am always impressed with SJM and how she made me love the "villian" but ACOTAR is so interesting to me.
You are my favorite booktuber out of any that I could watch! I’m so glad I subscribed to you and I get so happy when your videos come out, especially your vlogs💕 keep doing what your doing!! Very inspiring!:)
Yey someone who loves Heir of fire ! I feel like i heat everyone saying its their least favorite when its the best one of the serie with Queen of shadows !
I love your channel cuz whenever you talk abt books you are so honesty . If good you say good if not good say not good but some ppl didnt do like you...anyway i am happy you have many subscriber ~
Oh my, I definitely need to read Flamecaster. I started the book months ago and never finished it 🙈 but I want to. Also I loooooove the passion you always show when talking about Sarah J Maas books 💕 And thank you for daring to share your inner thoughts and insecurities. It must be hard.
Just wanna let you know that I started reading the throne of glass books because of you. I’m now on Queen of Shadows and the first thing I do after I finish one of the books is watch your booktalk on it!
I honestly understand what you said so much. You only show ur best to the world and that is natural. No one would show the less picture perfect sides. But no one is only that. Everyone has different sides: we re all human. Ahah I’m trying not to reaffirm here just telling u I understand what u feel like and not feeling good enough. But yh just wanted to tell you also that books are the love of my life and i watch a lot of booktubers haha but u are honestly the one who is closest to my actual book taste. U are literally my best recommender. Sending u all the love and yep just remember ur not alone ❤️❤️❤️
WTF GIRL. GIRLLLL. I loved Cindy Williams China’s books!!!!! Literally no one ever talks about them and I’m so glad you’ve read most of them:) also damn prodigy. Damn the feels. Eehhh the poppy war wasn’t really for me. The concepts in it were amazing but the writing style....ain’t my cup of tea.
I can definitely see that! Cause Poppy War is just super information based and I feel like if I weren't so intrigued by the random philosophy lessons I would hate it too 😂 AND YEY!!! YOU LIKE THEM TOO?? I swear I rarely hear anyone talking about them!
I'm so sorry that you have self doubt! You don't need to because you are awesome beautiful smart and funny and always remember that you are the reason so many subscribers smile when your videos pop up on our screen cause I'm one of them! Love you ❤️❤️
honestly i adore you and your youtube and i love everything you post. i definitely subscribe to you because i like to hear your opinions on books and i truly do care about what you have to say. i love how well you review books and i think you definitely don't give yourself enough credit! i also understand you're having these thoughts and it's completely normal. i do these things a lot especially on normal day to day things in my life. your feelings are completely justified and we know you are not completely perfect and you have your bad days. you're human and anyone who expects you to be anything other than that would be ridiculous yaknow? i know you didn't necessarily want feedback but i want you to know i adore you and your feelings are normal. i'm actually honestly scared to start a bookstagram even though i'd love it and i love everyone on there i follow currently. it's because i don't have all the things they have or all the skills to take good pictures and all the books they have. i don't have a lot of books i mean i have a little over 100 but i don't have other things people put in their posts on bookstagram and it makes me a little sad but that's just the negative talking. like i said, you are not alone.
I have self doubt as well when it comes to my dreams. I am in the process of finally to not doubt my writings as much as I normally do even though my friends tell me I am good enough. We can get through the together!! No doubt!! 💙💙
Omg you're not alone, I struggle so much with not feeling good enough for booktube. I know that my friends and subscribers appreciate me but dang the community as a whole makes me feel all sorts of rejection and insecurity lol.
I am also SJM trash and her books always manage to make me tear up! Also, you are definitely more than enough! You are an incredible booktuber and super inspiring ^^
Your pins are so cute! I love bookish pins, so fun! Annnd in a totally non-re-affirming way, I just wanna say I subscribe to you because you come off as genuine, I like when you're bubbly and when you're mellow, doesn't matter to me :)
‼️‼️You are one of my favorite book tuber!!!! Just know that when you are facing struggles that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You may feel this way for now but know that your subscribers subscribe because you make amazing content!!! Tu canal es muy fantástico y mi favorito! ♥️🧡💛💚💙♥️💜💖🖤 Happy 30k‼️‼️
If you do a reread of the Shadow and Bone trilogy would you want to announce it? I have them on my shelf but haven't found the motivation to read it. You doing a readalong or just saying a bit beforehand when you'll start reading them would give me an excuse hehe ❤️
lol I'm very realistic too. I think I am more optimistic when it comes to others, but negative when it has to do with myself 😬love that for me haha Good luck finishing your TBR! One more weekend until June ends! 😮
Hey. First time watching! I love your readathon spread. Would love to see more of that here or in your insta page. You are great and yes I did hit the subscribe button! Keep it up!!!😁👍
It’s so interesting to hear how you have been feeling. I am like a super optimistic person and I get people saying to me “your annoying why are you so happy?” People say that on my channel and in person too. I just love your content!! 💗💜💞🍓☺️
Brittany the Bibliophile it’s just how I have to live I’ve had lots of tough things in my life and when I dwell on the negative it doesn’t help. I will!
Hey girl, I hear you I only have 10 subscribers (on my channel with my hubby). You have every right to feel the way you feel. You are amazing and I really admire how you laid it all out there. Keep it up.
I think you are awesome and lovely and I subscribe to hear what you have to say and what you think on books. I understand the self doubt but you rock xxx And sorry for the reaffirming! :)
It took me one week to get through Flamecaster, but it was because I was an emotional mess. Shadowcaster is a bit more fast paced 💙 That one and Deathcaster are my favorite of the series.
Love your vids & congrats on 30k! I have such a love/hate relationship with sjm because I love acomaf but Qos is probably one of my least favorite books in existence. But then i Iove ToD and the book she wrote for catwoman which I was soooooooo hesitant about reading cause selina Kyle is my favorite female hero but I ended up loving that so it's very wishy washy
i took my nephew to see godzilla and i was in the same boat haha at least he had seen the previous one. love your videos you really have me interested in checking out cinda williams chima
You’re more than good enough, you deserve every subscriber because you work hard. You are one of the most passionate booktuber I suscribe to. If anything you deserve more subscribers!! 💜 thank you for your reviews
Aw my cat does the same thing as luna! I went to washington a month ago and my suitcase is still lying empty on the floor because it’s calypso’s bed now, can’t move it haha
That pin is SO cute, my favourite film is Kiki, I have a black cat and of course we called him Jiji (although his nickname is little J) Love yours vids, keep it up xxx
I don't think until very recently did I realise that I am not a pessimist, rather I'm a realist... I agree that I can be pessimistic in certain ways but most of the time I've been just a plainly, stubbornly realistic person.... but funnily enough, I am highly optimistic about certain things, which I think comes from the part of me that always hopes for everything to be better, the part of me that will always remain a child
So...I couldn’t help noticing you get 20 days with your Libby audiobooks, I only get 12 days 😅😫 (Houston) BTW thank you for showing me Libby, I had NO idea!!!! I’ve been going thru my TBR like crazy. You’re my favorite booktuber because 1) you introduced me to Libby (WHERE have I been) 2) ACOMAF is my favorite book as well. Reread Idk how many times and usually whatever books you like, I like as well. 3) I love your enthusiasm towards books
It sounds like impostor syndrome! I'm not a booktuber but I've had this feeling with so many things in life, especially career and school-related things
The Poppy War is AMAZING and I am dying to read the sequel. I hope you enjoy it I live in Oklahoma City so I know what you mean about rarely seeing stars. It's like, we know they are there, but these big ass buildings are hiding them. Ugh. These are the times I wish I lived in the country. I know what you mean. I have been part of booktube for 3 years and I'm only at 303 subscribers. I am constantly trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong and constantly changing things up, but it still feels like I'm not good enough.
I think if there's anything I've learned from having shared this is that it's not really us that's doing anything wrong! It's just our brains trying to tell us we are
hmmm I'm not really sure, I think that the experience of having such a succesful first year has done wonders for me and I do feel like I speak better now!
Just stay humble, keep doing what you do. Don’t become what bigger you tubers are, I hate how they rely on the platform and it semi gets thrown in your face. I love how you work and you aren’t shy about it, you do what this is for. I’m sick of bigger accounts doing shitty 3 min videos. I didn’t sub for that shit. Be you boo and you’ll do fine.
Same. It's sort of the same self doubt when you post a pic on instagram of something you're excited about and get soo many less likes than a picture of yourself. Like why do people care more about appearance that what I have to say, hello the other thing I posted is so much more interesting!
Hm... I do find that the most popular booktubers are rather pretty/attractive based on conventional standards of beauty. Something to think about for sure! I have a feeling that subconsciously people like to watch beautiful people on UA-cam. It makes sense. Popular people tend to be attractive. Same goes for the business world. Moving up has a lot to do with attractiveness as well as charisma.
Am I the only one who doesn't understand why someone would have the physical _hardback_ of a book and _still_ buy the audiobook. I mean everyone else can do what they want, it's their book collection, no shade but... I just personally don't get it.
I read ACOMAF right after my sexual assault and feyre and I had a lot of similar symptoms of PTSD and it honestly is one of my favorite books for that reason and it has stuck with me because she helped me through that hard time and helped me feel not so alone and feel like I can get stronger. Love ACOMAF ❤️
Pstd does happen after sexual assault. Your not alone on that one. It happens.
I hope you’re feeling ok right now, stay strong ❤️
It's amazing how seen books can make us feel 💙
Σοφία Μαρκαντώνη yes I am! It happened a couple years ago so I’ve had time to heal.
This was awful to hear and I'm very sorry you went through it. I'm so glad you had something to help you through it. Peace and love! :)
I actually subscribed to you because you are opinionated and you speak with a certain assertiveness that I look for above all else.
Thank you so much 💕 that means the world to me
Your cats are the cutest! Also, I understand your "not feeling good enough" feelings. We all have those moments. Just know that I, and thousands of other people love and believe in you!
thank you so much 😻
Babe - sending you so much love! I'm sorry you've been plagued with self-doubt but you are awesome and lovely
Thank you 😊💙 And you're fine! I know it happens to everyone I just feel like people don't expect me to feel it anymore since my channel has grown and I wanted to make a point to talk about it 🙈
I literally have been binging your videos for the last few weeks because they make me happy. Every morning when I do my makeup I put on one of your videos because you're so enthousiastic. I honestly don't care what kind of videos they are, I watch them because of your personality.
I started watching unboxings again because you made them exciting for me to watch again!😂❤️
awww thank you so much 💙 I really really appreciate it!
@@BrittanytheBibliophile
Your vlogs are my FAVORITE! ❤️
You're way more than enough

Could you make a video on fantasy book recommendations for people that don't typically pick up that genre?
Ooooo that's actually a really cool suggestion! I'll definitely start some research for it!

Firstly, I just wanted to say I adore your channel - I quite literally binge-watched/listened to all of your videos for the last 3-4 weeks during work and free time and have even stopped reading the TOG series (on Assassin's Blade) until I could finish your videos. Secondly, one tiny fun fact because I am a new SJM fan since this year is that I live in the same county as her, which is just a bit north of Philly!
I'm going to try to condense my thoughts into a shorter message, but I wanted to also say I completely understand the realist/pessimist debate because I am the exact same as you. I want to remind you that you are always, always good enough, even though I don't practice what I preach as often. You have wonderful insight and a glowing personality, and that's exactly why you have the following you do ❤️ You have huge expectations for yourself, and you do a fantastic job of meeting them. I'm sure the last thing any of your viewers want is for you to get anxious or overwhelmed. We support you for you!!
My final thought related to ACOMAF - I read this series first before TOG, and it truly changed me as a person. I'm diagnosed with PTSD due to trauma from an ex, and reading ACOTAR plus ACOMAF felt like a fantasy-genre version of my life. Watching her heal and crying with her through the flashbacks, triggers and aftermath of trauma made me adore this series beyond what I imagined. I've been told TOG will destroy me, so I'm definitely bracing myself for this ride!
Hey, Britt! I totally get having a realistic viewpoint. Also, I love your channel. Honestly, watching you reread the ACOTAR series it makes me want to reread them like RIGHT NOW. I love Sarah J Maas, so I am really glad that I found you, where we have pretty much the same opinions on Sarah's books. Much love
Its getting difficult to find booktubers who dont dislike her books x)
Loonadance1212 that’s true, back when I found her she was the only one who really did.
What a great way of explaining your love of Heir of Fire, mostly I like that book because of romance and her admitting, and accepting who she truly is (trying not to spoil it is so difficult)
very true!!!
Great video! Glad you told us about your struggles. We love you
💙🥰💙
You deserve every subscriber, and more
💙💚💛 I definitely look forward to your opinions because you're so real and I know you'll tell your honest thoughts 💭
Thank you so much 💙
I've always heard that the mind is the devil's playground, and boy I'm believing it more and more everyday! You made sense in everything you said, and I can totally relate. I barely post videos because I doubt myself constantly and I'm a pretty positive person. I feel like I'm not creative enough, eloquent enough, I'm too old for the community etc... so you're not alone!!! On another note I always told myself that I would never read ACOTAR but you're making me curious 😂 great Vog!! Xoxo
ahhh I hope you enjoy it if you do 💙 and thank you!
I'm the only person on Earth who prefers ACOTAR over ACOMAF. don't get me wrong I love both but I just love the first book SO much! I am always impressed with SJM and how she made me love the "villian" but ACOTAR is so interesting to me.
hahaha it's proof that we all have different tastes 😊
Congrats on 31K now! 💕 Definitely can relate to feeling like I'm not enough for booktube but I keep doing it because I just like too! 😊
I used to live in Vegas a few years back and I miss it so much! Planning to go to university there though
your reading vlogs make me so happy💞
and i hope you feel better
Thank you 💙 I am , sometimes you just need to get things off your chest!
You are my favorite booktuber out of any that I could watch! I’m so glad I subscribed to you and I get so happy when your videos come out, especially your vlogs💕 keep doing what your doing!! Very inspiring!:)
awwww thank you so much 💙
Yey someone who loves Heir of fire ! I feel like i heat everyone saying its their least favorite when its the best one of the serie with Queen of shadows !
You are my favorite booktuber and i only trust recommendations from you because we have the most similar book tastes
I love your channel cuz whenever you talk abt books you are so honesty . If good you say good if not good say not good but some ppl didnt do like you...anyway i am happy you have many subscriber ~
One of my cats always gets into my videos at one point or another and I love it dearly.
Oh my, I definitely need to read Flamecaster. I started the book months ago and never finished it 🙈 but I want to. Also I loooooove the passion you always show when talking about Sarah J Maas books 💕
And thank you for daring to share your inner thoughts and insecurities. It must be hard.
Thank you 💜 I really appreciate it!
@@BrittanytheBibliophile
Just wanna let you know that I started reading the throne of glass books because of you. I’m now on Queen of Shadows and the first thing I do after I finish one of the books is watch your booktalk on it!
I honestly understand what you said so much. You only show ur best to the world and that is natural. No one would show the less picture perfect sides. But no one is only that. Everyone has different sides: we re all human. Ahah I’m trying not to reaffirm here just telling u I understand what u feel like and not feeling good enough. But yh just wanted to tell you also that books are the love of my life and i watch a lot of booktubers haha but u are honestly the one who is closest to my actual book taste. U are literally my best recommender. Sending u all the love and yep just remember ur not alone ❤️❤️❤️
thank you 🥰💕
WTF GIRL. GIRLLLL. I loved Cindy Williams China’s books!!!!! Literally no one ever talks about them and I’m so glad you’ve read most of them:) also damn prodigy. Damn the feels.
Eehhh the poppy war wasn’t really for me. The concepts in it were amazing but the writing style....ain’t my cup of tea.
Yo Ell, did you finish Poppy War? I was curious if there is torture in it? Because I'm not sure I wanna read that
Julie Englefaris there are a couple scenes from what I remember 🙏🏻
I can definitely see that! Cause Poppy War is just super information based and I feel like if I weren't so intrigued by the random philosophy lessons I would hate it too 😂 AND YEY!!! YOU LIKE THEM TOO?? I swear I rarely hear anyone talking about them!
Thank you for being real. 🖤 I love your videos and you’re such an inspiration 🖤
💙💜
I'm so sorry that you have self doubt! You don't need to because you are awesome beautiful smart and funny and always remember that you are the reason so many subscribers smile when your videos pop up on our screen cause I'm one of them! Love you ❤️❤️
thank you 🥰
honestly i adore you and your youtube and i love everything you post. i definitely subscribe to you because i like to hear your opinions on books and i truly do care about what you have to say. i love how well you review books and i think you definitely don't give yourself enough credit! i also understand you're having these thoughts and it's completely normal. i do these things a lot especially on normal day to day things in my life. your feelings are completely justified and we know you are not completely perfect and you have your bad days. you're human and anyone who expects you to be anything other than that would be ridiculous yaknow? i know you didn't necessarily want feedback but i want you to know i adore you and your feelings are normal. i'm actually honestly scared to start a bookstagram even though i'd love it and i love everyone on there i follow currently. it's because i don't have all the things they have or all the skills to take good pictures and all the books they have. i don't have a lot of books i mean i have a little over 100 but i don't have other things people put in their posts on bookstagram and it makes me a little sad but that's just the negative talking. like i said, you are not alone.
Lol bubbly and excited about books is me.
You are good enough. We all have a side we don't let anyone see. You are the reason I started my booktube.
🥰💕
I have self doubt as well when it comes to my dreams. I am in the process of finally to not doubt my writings as much as I normally do even though my friends tell me I am good enough. We can get through the together!! No doubt!! 💙💙
Omg you're not alone, I struggle so much with not feeling good enough for booktube. I know that my friends and subscribers appreciate me but dang the community as a whole makes me feel all sorts of rejection and insecurity lol.
I am also SJM trash and her books always manage to make me tear up! Also, you are definitely more than enough! You are an incredible booktuber and super inspiring ^^
Your pins are so cute! I love bookish pins, so fun! Annnd in a totally non-re-affirming way, I just wanna say I subscribe to you because you come off as genuine, I like when you're bubbly and when you're mellow, doesn't matter to me :)
Thank you so much 💙💜
Congrats on 30k!
Hii! How are you? Would you do a video showing your reading journal???💜
‼️‼️You are one of my favorite book tuber!!!! Just know that when you are facing struggles that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You may feel this way for now but know that your subscribers subscribe because you make amazing content!!!
Tu canal es muy fantástico y mi favorito!
♥️🧡💛💚💙♥️💜💖🖤
Happy 30k‼️‼️
congratulations to you for making it to 30K. Yeah!!!!!!!!!
If you do a reread of the Shadow and Bone trilogy would you want to announce it? I have them on my shelf but haven't found the motivation to read it. You doing a readalong or just saying a bit beforehand when you'll start reading them would give me an excuse hehe ❤️
OOoo I'll definitely try and make a readalong if that's something people will be interested in 👀
Brittany the Bibliophile I'm definitley interested
Your cats are absolute superstars! Loved the video, promise I'm not here only for the babies😂💖
hahah thank you 😻
Hi 👋🏻 from uk 🇬🇧 I’m currently reading malice by John Gwynn.. adult fantasy it’s really good!!! Happy reading to u!!
lol I'm very realistic too. I think I am more optimistic when it comes to others, but negative when it has to do with myself 😬love that for me haha
Good luck finishing your TBR! One more weekend until June ends! 😮
Thank you so much 💙
CONGRATS ON 30K LOVELY!!! Go you omg!! Love your vlogs ❤️
Thank you so much lovely ❤️
Hey. First time watching! I love your readathon spread. Would love to see more of that here or in your insta page. You are great and yes I did hit the subscribe button! Keep it up!!!😁👍
Ooo I've never really thought of posting my spreads on instagram! I just might 😊
It’s so interesting to hear how you have been feeling. I am like a super optimistic person and I get people saying to me “your annoying why are you so happy?” People say that on my channel and in person too. I just love your content!! 💗💜💞🍓☺️
awww no optimism is wonderful! NEver stop 😊
Brittany the Bibliophile it’s just how I have to live I’ve had lots of tough things in my life and when I dwell on the negative it doesn’t help. I will!
You know when you wake up and be like it’s a beautiful day then your favorite UA-camr uploads a video❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey girl, I hear you I only have 10 subscribers (on my channel with my hubby). You have every right to feel the way you feel. You are amazing and I really admire how you laid it all out there. Keep it up.
I think you are awesome and lovely and I subscribe to hear what you have to say and what you think on books. I understand the self doubt but you rock xxx
And sorry for the reaffirming! :)
It took me one week to get through Flamecaster, but it was because I was an emotional mess. Shadowcaster is a bit more fast paced 💙 That one and Deathcaster are my favorite of the series.
Oooo very good to know 😊
I love your vlogs so much
Ha! When you said you were listening to Prodigy, I thought you were talking about the band. I am old.
Also, I love your channel. I watch just about everything you post.
_awh I'm so glad that you reached 30k!
Thank you 💚
Love your vids & congrats on 30k! I have such a love/hate relationship with sjm because I love acomaf but Qos is probably one of my least favorite books in existence. But then i Iove ToD and the book she wrote for catwoman which I was soooooooo hesitant about reading cause selina Kyle is my favorite female hero but I ended up loving that so it's very wishy washy
i took my nephew to see godzilla and i was in the same boat haha at least he had seen the previous one. love your videos you really have me interested in checking out cinda williams chima
Your channel is amazing!! 😊
You’re more than good enough, you deserve every subscriber because you work hard. You are one of the most passionate booktuber I suscribe to. If anything you deserve more subscribers!! 💜 thank you for your reviews
SENDING YOU SO MUCH LOVE WE LOVEEEEEEEEE YOU
thank you Jay 💙
We all have a lot of sides and always be positive we all love you plz don’t stop
I won't stop 😊
Aw my cat does the same thing as luna! I went to washington a month ago and my suitcase is still lying empty on the floor because it’s calypso’s bed now, can’t move it haha
can i say I just love that your cats name is Calypso???
Brittany the Bibliophile aw thanks!
That pin is SO cute, my favourite film is Kiki, I have a black cat and of course we called him Jiji (although his nickname is little J) Love yours vids, keep it up xxx
awwww little j ❤️ my heart 😭
Much love to you 💕
Me: ow i really like this channel”
*cats come into frame*
Me: *subscribes*
I don't think until very recently did I realise that I am not a pessimist, rather I'm a realist... I agree that I can be pessimistic in certain ways but most of the time I've been just a plainly, stubbornly realistic person.... but funnily enough, I am highly optimistic about certain things, which I think comes from the part of me that always hopes for everything to be better, the part of me that will always remain a child
Thanks and congrats
So...I couldn’t help noticing you get 20 days with your Libby audiobooks, I only get 12 days 😅😫 (Houston) BTW thank you for showing me Libby, I had NO idea!!!! I’ve been going thru my TBR like crazy. You’re my favorite booktuber because
1) you introduced me to Libby (WHERE have I been)
2) ACOMAF is my favorite book as well. Reread Idk how many times and usually whatever books you like, I like as well.
3) I love your enthusiasm towards books
I only get 7 days! Ugh... Drives me crazy!
wow I actually never knew the amoutn of days changes in whichever county you're in! That's crazy!
Can you film a bookshelf tour?????
I have one filmed! I believe it's the first video in my most popular uploads 😊
It sounds like impostor syndrome! I'm not a booktuber but I've had this feeling with so many things in life, especially career and school-related things
Sometimes we are our own enemies, fight it, girl!
It’s a tough one. I think for myself I do struggle with my place on Booktube.
I think it's definitely something we all struggle with!
I'm only new to booktube and I freak out about not feeling good enough :(
The Poppy War is AMAZING and I am dying to read the sequel. I hope you enjoy it
I live in Oklahoma City so I know what you mean about rarely seeing stars. It's like, we know they are there, but these big ass buildings are hiding them. Ugh. These are the times I wish I lived in the country.
I know what you mean. I have been part of booktube for 3 years and I'm only at 303 subscribers. I am constantly trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong and constantly changing things up, but it still feels like I'm not good enough.
I think if there's anything I've learned from having shared this is that it's not really us that's doing anything wrong! It's just our brains trying to tell us we are
@@BrittanytheBibliophile I completely agree
love you xx- keep going champ hhhaa- you said not to assure you but keep going love
You are lovely.Dont always be so hard to yourself.Love from India xx
Thank you so much 💙
Despite all the insecurities that booktube has created, are there insecurities that you had before that booktube has helped you overcome?
hmmm I'm not really sure, I think that the experience of having such a succesful first year has done wonders for me and I do feel like I speak better now!
I’m so glad 😊 thanks for taking the time to answer I hope you’re having a good day ❤️
Just stay humble, keep doing what you do. Don’t become what bigger you tubers are, I hate how they rely on the platform and it semi gets thrown in your face. I love how you work and you aren’t shy about it, you do what this is for. I’m sick of bigger accounts doing shitty 3 min videos. I didn’t sub for that shit. Be you boo and you’ll do fine.
Omg I totally understand not feeling good enough for booktube I feel the same way 💗💗
Same. It's sort of the same self doubt when you post a pic on instagram of something you're excited about and get soo many less likes than a picture of yourself. Like why do people care more about appearance that what I have to say, hello the other thing I posted is so much more interesting!
Oooo I definitely have noticed that as well! It's an odd bookish world
Hm... I do find that the most popular booktubers are rather pretty/attractive based on conventional standards of beauty. Something to think about for sure! I have a feeling that subconsciously people like to watch beautiful people on UA-cam. It makes sense. Popular people tend to be attractive. Same goes for the business world. Moving up has a lot to do with attractiveness as well as charisma.
Just dropped empire of storms when I saw this pop up it was worth it though your videos always put a smile on my face ✨❤️❤️
WHO ARE THE 3 PPL THAT DISLIKED THIS VIDEO!? rood.
❤❤
Am I the only one who doesn't understand why someone would have the physical _hardback_ of a book and _still_ buy the audiobook. I mean everyone else can do what they want, it's their book collection, no shade but... I just personally don't get it.
I rent my audiobooks from Libby 😊 A free app that utilizes your library card!
@@BrittanytheBibliophile Well that makes a lot more sense😂🙈 oops
