Love your reviews. Where can I buy your tshirt?

Can’t wait to read this! Don’t think I can wait until October!😂 📚

We chose this book for our October book group! Thanks for verifying our choice!

I love this series and all your wonderful book recommendations with dragons! Mahalo Farmington Community Library! 📚

Love Sandi & Steve!

Ruth Ware and Riley Sager are two of my favorites, also. I am looking forward to reading both of these. Thank you, Rebecca.

I love this channel! It’s true library love❤

OMG I was hoping this was the book you were going to review in this video! I'm a huge Last Unicorn fan and I've been seeing some buzz about this new book, I'm super excited to read it, even more so now after hearing your review! Also, hi Eureka! 🤭

I love Eureka!!!! 😭😭😭

I knew you back in NJ! Really glad to see you doing so well, and working to promote literacy in kids to boot. Great work 👏

Oooh, "Horror Movie" and "Home is Where the Bodies Are" both sound so good, I need to add them to my Bookshelf of Terror! Awesome video!

I need to read both of these novels. They sound right up my alley. Thank you for reviewing them!

Thanks! I've heard of Paul Tremblay, but never read anything by him. I'll put the novel on hold at my library.

I have Lula’s preordered! And I have the other one somewhere on my towering TBR lol

💛

I really love your videos! Mahalo Nui Loa FCL! 📚

Thanks for the recommendation.

What a good review. U speak so well! I tried reading a woman in the window twice but gave up after 2 chapters. I just do not like the writing style.

New subscriber here. I liked this review for this book. I will be getting it. It’s on sale right now on audible.

You always keep me updated on the hottest book finds! I’m excited to try this author over the summer!

I hated every single page of this book. And no, my feelings have nothing to do with the personal life of the author. Even though when I found out later, having already read the book, that he had mental problems, it did answer as to way the writting style was incoherent at times, and felt so choppy. Let's start backward - the ending was good. That's about the only good thing. It was not brilliant, it was good. As for anything else, oh, where do I begin ... the characters - one dimentional. The Nicky character is a straight annoying copy of characterless Mary Sue that Rey Palpatine was. She is bland, much like anybody else in this book. All these characters feel like cartboard stereotypes rather than actual people. Finn just doesn't have it in him to either build or maintain a fully fledged character. The action - well, there isn't much of it to begin with. By the time the body of the second wife is discovered, nothing actually happens. Just very badly described emotions and thoughts. The writting style - choppy, incoherent. He spends so much time describing the rooms and objects and yet, there is so much as investment in character building. This story would have been so much better had it been written as a short novel, because the author is not good at writting action, nor is he good at creating and maintaining characters. I also am of the belief that never in his life has he met an actual Englishman ...

Thanks!

Thank you so much! I'm going to try The IT Girl!

Hahaha! Cute bird! Thanks for the recommendation!

Not my usual fare but I might give Butcher & Blackbird a go, sounds fun. I’ve just finished reading one of your earlier recommendations, I have some questions for you by Rebecca Makkai. Superb, my first 5 star read of the year. Took me seventy pages to get in to it but then I was hooked. Gripped me until the end. I’ll certainly check out more of the authors work👍

I just put Ice Planet Barbarians on my Libby TBR cuz I need a good laugh.

Don't know if you have read any of his books, but "Robert Asprin" is one of my favourite authors of all time. His "Phule" books are funny, interesting, different, and all are "page turners" to the extreme. I came across him due to his series of books that all have "Myth" in the title (Hit or Myth is the first). Skeeve is a human wizard who gets employed to solve problems with his demon friend (Az) and their pet dragon. Again, very funny with unique story lines, and when I came across the first one in a book shop, I started to read it right there in the shop to see if the style was something I would like, and I got totally lost in the story so much, 2 hours later the owner asked me if there was any chance he could close as it was time - so I picked up 2 more of his as well and I bought them. I couldn't stop reading it and finished it at 03.30a.m. that night ! If that's not a recommendation I don't know what else to say. The next week I got the shop to order as many of his books they could get (early 80's so no easily accessible Internet) and would spend peaceful weekends relaxing while reading them, detailed images forming in my mind with the words. I hope you don't mind the recommendation in return for you suggesting these 7 books to us 😊.

I actually bought Hild from a bookshop in Whitby some years ago but I’ve never read it!😖 I’ve pushed it up my TBR. I also hadn’t realised a follow up had been released so that might be where my Christmas book vouchers are going. I’ve put The Invisible Hour on my ‘wants list’ and just put, I have some Questions for you, on hold at my own local Library. I can never decide on ‘top lists’ but I think the two Monk&Robot books by Becky Chambers are my favourite reads of the year. Closely followed by Ray Nayler’s The Mountain in the Sea. Looking forward to your recommendations throughout 2024👍

you have such great energy!

shirt is kinda redundant when you have the backdrop you have! haha <3

I’m from the UK and never say never but I don’t think I’ll ever make it to the Farmington community library. I’m a big supporter of my own Library and just wanted to pop in and say how much I enjoy your videos (and the Dragons!) not an author I’m familiar with so I’ve added this and the previous book to my reading list👍

I still need to read both of these. I am obsessed with books about cults, which sounds a little ironic, but I just find them fascinating.

This novel sounds so good. Thank you for this recommendation.

Oohh another new author for me to try thanks to you! This sounds fantastic!

This sounds great but also thanks for reminding me of Rebecca! One of my faves growing up. I gotta reread it this month!

MAGA

It's gross that in 2023 we are still dealing wih this. 🤢

Great video! I now need to read Flamer. I have read and enjoyed the other two books you mentioned. Georgia was avoiding book bans for a while. I had hope, but some people in freakin' Cobb County, of course, challenged a couple of books and won. Flamer and Me and Earl and the Girl were the two that have been banned, so far.

Your bookshelves are goals!

I absolutely loved this book. It was such a page-turner.

This is one I still need to read. Sounds scary relevant to what we are seeing today. Thank you for your review.

Thank you for your review, and I am definitely going to read this book!

I am going to suck it up and get in the line of holds for this one at my library. I am sure to be #194960 lol

THATS MY GRANDAD!! 🫡❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥‼️‼️‼️

Can’t wait to read it

I definitely need to read this one. Catriona Ward definitely knows how to write a twisty, addictive novel.

Just love watching your enthusiasm for books! Always excited to hear what you review next!

I see the book Yellow Face all over Goodreads. Maybe I should finally read it. 😊

This is exactly the kind of author I've been looking for! I'm going to get The House in the Cerulean Sea right away. I'm so excited to read his work, everything sounds so magical! This was a GREAT review that made me so excited to read! 🥰
