I'm so excited! I loveddd round 1 and can't wait to see all the vlog this round 😊 You've done such a great job Danni!!

Oeh so exciting!!! 🤩🤩 I love me a good sneak peek!

Oh I like the idea of one long vlog x

I like that we can recognize some of the books even though they're blurred.

Well well well, and it starts all over again. 😏 I’m really excited to see how Mikala’s big vlog at the end switches things up!!

Ooooh, one of our booktubers this round has a strategy by doing one big vlog at the end. 🔥 Love the sneak peek. 😻 Let the battle BEGIN! 🤩

soooooo excited, i see so many books that I can't wait to hear the full thoughts on! I love that Rainy is reading one of my favorite books and I am lowkey nervous to see how it goes.

Fun!

I'm down to start Pale this weekend! I should be home Thursday. 🤗

I'm so excited to read The Last Murder at the End of the World! I hope you enjoy your reads 🩷

I heard about Dreadful a while ago - because Sarah Beth Durst read it and enjoyed it. So I have high hopes. I will likely wait and see what people think (my library doesn't have it) before buying. Also, Yay for the Invisible Library!

The Pale House Devil & Dreadful sound like they could be fun.. 🤞🏻Then again… maybe not 😂 I’ve been disappointed by new releases this year. I hope at least Rakesfall is the 5 star read you’re predicting!

The Book of Doors was great!!!!

I adored Cemetery Boys and I’m reading Rakesfall right now and getting all the five star feels hope you enjoy them both💞

That's a great mix of books and fun buddy reads. A Short Walk Through a Wide World looks very interesting, and Dreadful sounds like a great premise but the humour could go either way. I really liked The Book of Doors - exceptional plotting to link all the time travel aspects together and loads of great ideas. When the other books are brought in, I thought there was enough material for a 3 book series, and doing so might have given more time to add depth to the characters, but it was a very enjoyable read nonetheless. The Last Murder at the End of the World was another good one but not quite Evelyn Hardcastle level. There's a fair bit of laying out the 'rules' at the start, but the mystery is very good, the idea is original and I liked the different characters. I hope you enjoy them all and have a great month. I'm lokking forward to Strange the Dreamer (fantasy), In the Blink of an Eye (mystery-thriller) and The Nightingale (historical).

The Isles of the Gods sounds good 👍 Let the Woods....fun too. Interesting books. 🤞

I enjoyed this book but dnf,d How To Become A Dark Lord.

I can’t wait for you to read The Last Murder at the End of the World and hear your thoughts on it!

I am so excited to see your thoughts on all of the books!! And I am even more excited for our buddy reads!!!

Excited for round 2 x

I have to go with Reading nymph Aka Kirsten. 🏆🏆

Well done to everybody involved and congrats to the winner (won't say who due to spoilers). The scores were really close, so plenty of good recs all round. Great to see a bit of standard deviation on booktube! I really enjoyed the discussion. I bet it's exciting to pick books for others, though quite difficult and stressful at the same time, but it looks like everybody had a lot of fun. Well done on putting it all together, Danni. Hopefully, I can catch up with a few more vlogs and watch the live show as it happens next time.

I really like this idea, and get to know 3 new to me booktubers. I'm really interested to see what gets recommended. I can't call a winner as books recs can sometimes come down to mood, reading the right book at the right time, but I love the amount of research and stalking the contestants are doing to get an edge. Good luck to all! I'm sure everybody will get something great to read.

I'm catching up on vids as I've had a lot on recently. Really interesting to hear your thoughts on The Wickwire Watch. I heard good things from early reviews (though I'm often a bit suspicious of them) and then some mixed opinions. You've sold me on it, so I've just got it on kindle for 99p. The next two books are also the same price, if they have them on Amazon US. I agree with everything you said about Warbreaker. I liked the romance between between the two characters, but agree his romance can be a bit simplistic and lack a touch of finesse. Lightsong's dad joke humour was also a bit much. As you said, the plot, magic and worldbuilding were great, and I enjoyed the path the characters took. It also gave it 4*. I like how you see the positives in the books recommended - you either get a book you like or learn something about what you don't like, which is also helpful. - Spoilers for Warbreaker and Stormlight Archive - I think there are 2 characters from Warbreaker in Stormlight. Vasher is Zahel, the swordmaster, and Vivenna is Azure, Highmarshal of the Wall Guard. Nightblood is Sword-Nimi, the sword that Szeth uses.

ROUND 2, I’M WATCHING YOU 👀

Fantasticland sounds so good! I have added to my tbr. I agree with Romance.. my favourite ones are always something that has something that is experienced in real life, or are funny. No romance is ever as straight forward or fits the pattern that a certain group of romances does. It's not that I hate the fluffy ones, it's more that it takes me out of the story when it doesn't feel real to some degree and then I get annoyed. My recent 5 star predictions have mostly been spot on (Evocation, and The Way of Kings). One was a complete and epic fail for me though... Ocean's Echo ended up a 2 star for me. I loved the first book so much that I was sure the second book would be as good.

Can’t wait to see how the others will do!!! 🎉🎉🎉

I'm so excited for round two. I really enjoyed watching round one and getting to know some new booktubers that way

I choose Rainy 💪 go girl

excited to take a back seat and watch these creators battle!!

I had so much fun watching Round 1 that I can’t wait to see what will happen in Round 2. 😊

oooo how exciting! i have no idea who could possibly win - everyone made some good arguments for why they're the best! :D

Such a fun project. I’m looking forward to when we start seeing the results.

So fun!!

Cannot wait for this round!

Super excited for Round 2! *ding ding ding*

Sounds like a lot of fun good luck to all

So hyped for this! Nervous as hell but it's be so fun! Thanks Danni 😊

I am so excited for round 2!!! All of the competitors sound amazing!!!

The only way

I don’t know if I have any weird book recommendations. Maybe Plain Bad Heroines. However. I love this idea because reading is so subjective and I agree it is interesting to see what people think about the same one!

I would love to see more lists like this! Great idea!

Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read. Isaiah 34:16

Oh, wasn't expecting that.

I cannot believe I'm just finding this video now. I've been watching the vlogs from each competitor, lol. This makes it so much cooler.

I have Cinder on my bookshelf and hope to get to it soon. Loved hearing your positive thoughts about it. Not familiar with the other books.

The Wickwire Watch is supposed to be 7 books long! Only 3 are out currently. The 4th one comes out later this year I believe. I’ve only read the first two, but book 2 was soooo good!

The only books I've read of these are Cinder and Warbreaker.. and I definitely agree with you assessments of them
