Agggtm is the truly my second favorite series of all time. (Soc is the best) The books are written so perfect omg
OMG yesss Soc it's so fucking gooood. It's one of the only books that I reread multiple times
im 50% rn and the writing style is amazing
Moodreader a heart is so real. I have a list of the books I decided to read this year...do you think I read a single book on that list? No lol
LITERALLY LMAO
My Roommate is a Vampire is silly. It's a good time. 🧛
yay that's exactly what i'm looking for hehe
@@sophie_jo also check out Unwrap My Heart!
I read Shadow and Bone years ago but only finally picked up and read the Six of Crows duology and just happened to do it in Fall and was really glad that’s the moment I picked. They’re great fall and even winter reads.
i just picked up six of crows and i’m loving it!
I can see the klaus-rowan comparison tho
omg yay so it’s not just me HAHA
, 👍
Inject this into my veins ?😂 lol.
YUPP
i am so glad I discovered your channel. Really enjoy your videos and they way you talk about books. we need to get you some more followers!!!!!!!!
welcome ౨ৎ :)
this made me go impulsively buy done n dusted, i cannot wait to read that one 😭💗
yay omg i hope you love it
One of my book clubs read this recently and it was very divisive. Some people loved it and many people absolutely hated it for it's lack of a coherent plot. I liked it (4 stars for me), since I can get behind a mainly vibes-based book :). Plus, it was a cool project having it split between two authors who wrote it back and forth by emailing each other.
makes sense! and yes i love how one author wrote red and one wrote blue, very interesting to learn ◡̈
You should read The Deep by Rivers Solomon
what’s it about ??
It’s about a women named Yetu who feels lonely and burden down by her people’s memories as she is the only who remembers their history. Yetu is struggling with her mental health and feeling like she belongs. It’s the story of what happened to the slaves who were lost at sea during the transatlantic slave trade.
wow omg that sounds so dark
It’s so good though
I think everyone should read the nevermoor series. It starts a little weird, but after 100 pages you can't stop until you have read all 3 books. It's technically for kids, but I think everyone could love it. Nevermoor is truly magical and wonderful❤❤
hey middle grade books can still be good !!
I really recommend The name of the rose by Umberto Eco and The silent duchess by Dacia Maraini, they're some of my all time favourites
oohh what’re they about ??
I'll have to check this book out, this was a great review!
Such a cozy and cute vlog. Love you 💝💖
tysmm ♡ ♡
Have you read the book "Divine comedy"? I've heard that its quite good. So maybe you could try it out. Also, love your channel and hope you get more subs soon 😊❤
tyy ౨ৎ and no i’ve never heard of it :)
Okay you said you never read Mystery but if you want to read one book in that genre read a good girls guide to murder series it’s literally one of the best books ever
omg ikkkk everyone talks about it and i need to add it to the tbr
You REALLLLLLY need to read six of crows Also I would first read the soc duology before reading king of scars (I think you said that you read shadow and bone but that is a NEED before king of scars)
six of crows i will read this fall dw (it’s giving autumn vibes haha) idk if im going to read shadow and bone but i might get back to king of scars afterwards
absolutely love ur videos ! been watching for a couple weeks and i can’t wait to see you grow more on book tube 💕
aw thank you
i get why reading them closely makes L,T sounds beat up and done, but i've read years apart and then reread the love hypothesis later and thought it was of course veryyyy similar but idk nicely done? also dr. L is very similar to SO MANY professors i worked under i guess i just loved watching some justice get done lol please take the time to hug your local girl in stem friend
hahah so valid
i recently reread the love hypothesis after reading Love, Theoretically. By know I've reread all of them and truly the improvement is THERE. The plot thickens a little, but she keeps the bantering and humour light and compelling which i LOVE. and yeah they're all kind of similar, but at the same time she does it better and better and the changes are enough for me to feel like a completly different book. ok as a woman in STEM myself maybe im a little biased, but she does write our struggles perfectly can't wait to hear your thoughts on love, theretically my fav so far...
im so glad i found your channel omg i lovedddd your takes, most people just give ali's book shit and honestly is the formula repeated everytime? sorta, but she makes it GOOOOD. you havent read not in love please give it a try and tell us what you think!!
thank you! it’s on my tbr :)
WAIT- YOU DON'T WANNA READ HAUNTING ADELINE?!!!
ummmm no lmaoo no hate to people who do but im staying away from that one 😭😭

Bride was aaalllll the werewolf tropes. Very much reminded me of a Sterek Teen Wolf AU. I quite enjoyed the missing friend mystery & the political machinations, that held my attention more than the relationship did tbh.
so valid haha
Loved this video😍 Would love to see a popular booktok books reading vlog with Reckless and maybe Just For The Summer❤
just for the summer is in a vlog coming soon !! <3
@sophie_jo Oh my god yay! LOVE THAT BOOK😭
this is so fun to watch 👀 i feel like i should do this too but i'm still deluding myself that i'll finish them all one day 😂
you can do it in parts lmao trust me it's so satisfying
I just did this today I’m down to 360 books
what was your starting number 😂😂
this is a fun idea! I have like 300 books in my tbr lmao, i should do this too also, I noticed you have the second book of the mara dyer series in yours, and that's a trilogy where you need to read them in order so you might wanna fix that! But some books you had like #1 and #4 might have been those kind of series that are only a series bc the secondary characters in one book are the main ones in another, and you might have been interested in the plot of book 1 and 4 but not 2 and 3
yea you should! i'll go check the mara dyer book ty for catching that :)
THATS A LOT OF BOOKS😍😭
I KNOW LMAO SOMEONE STOP ME
@@sophie_jo rip bank account
Have you read "the kite runner" ?
no i havent! what's it about?
@@sophie_jo The Kite Runner is literally just. A best friend, about two best friends, a sacrifice of one, and the betrayal of the other. It's about a father betraying his son, a father betraying both his sons. It's about the goodness in someone despite the world beating him down over and over again, it's about death, grief, anger, pain. It's about the ultimate redemption of a boy who made one mistake, and then so many more. It's about a man who's path to redemption is weaving through his past. It's about another little boy who's already been through too much in his little life, it's about the love of a family you've never known. It's, "For you... a thousand times over!
Would love to see a reading vlog for Bride, and also your vest is so cute<3
tysm!!
when it comes to the epilogue it really depends if I want to keep on reading what happens next or if I just want the book to be over and be done with it lol! but I am with you with the rest <3
valid haha
Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read. Isaiah 34:16
I agree with pretty much all of these. there have been plenty of times where I finish a book and feel that there was a lot of parts that could have been condensed without compromising the story. longer doesn't always = better! and also agree with character death / serious injury. if the author is trying to convince me that the stakes are high, I want to feel like there are actual consequences
yess omg totally agree
first one and last one are so real!! i recently read a book and i felt there was such a natural point where the male love interest should've died and it was lowk unrealistic that he lived tbh. i would've rather he died and read about the fmc's grief and recovery and learning to recover from previous trauma on her own now that she had begun her healing process w the mmc. with that being said this was a more happily ever after type romance so obvi that didn't happen. and for the last one i actually hate epilogues they typically add nothing lol. one time i read a book and the epilogue actually made it worse and moved my rating down .5 stars lmao
yess omg i totally agree with you especially with the epilogues thing 😭😭
Yes! I agree with these opinions so much!
good to know its not just me hahaha
I love Abby Jimenez! I also very much enjoyed The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, it was so interesting and nothing like I had ever read before.
hiii mrs. marsha haha and yes i love both of those sm
1. TBOSBAS, Thunderhead, Hunger Games, Station Eleven, Andromeda Strain, and The Priory of the Orange Tree 2. Thunderhead & Catching Fire 3. Uhh Eruption by Michael Crichton 4. Idk 5. The Priory of the Orange Tree & Macbeth 6. Suzanne Collins LMAO 7. Ead, Sabran, Rowan, Citra, and Ravi (and red & blue) 8. The Road 9. AGGGTM & Thunderhead 10. The Priory of the Orange Tree & A Day of Fallen Night 11. Skyward, Dune, Jurassic Park, Sphere, Weyward, Contact, The Running Man, Cloud Cuckoo Land, Congo, Timeline, Golden Son, Airframe, State of Fear, Descendant of the Crane, wool, and the poppy war
im getting very dystopian fantasy vibes from this haha

Great video! I'm just wondering, are you still going to make reading journal videos? If so, at what chanel? Anyways I LOVE this channel so much xx Also I bought Part Of Your World from the bookstore today, I cant wait to read it!
thank youu! honestly im not sure about reading journal videos. they are fun but also time consuming. if i do any more they’ll probably be on the bujo channel, but ill do reading wrap ups over here every 2 months which will have me talking about the same books without the journal aspect. :) also i really hope you enjoy part of your world it’s so good
@@sophie_jo Thanks<3
if you want a good second chance book you should try reading seven days in june by tia williams, probably one of the best books ever!
i’ve heard sooo many good things about that book. i’m adding it to my tbr :)
I loved this video!!!!! I’ve never seen this type of video before, such a unique concept. 👍🏻
wow really? i def copied this video idea from other book too creators haha
When you were talking about Never Ever I thought it sounded like Things We Never Got Over by Lucy Score before I realized you were talking about one of her books!! That series would be so good if it stopped at 350 pages!! They're all just wayy too long
yess omg it had so much potential but just way too long 😪😪
Oh my god the top looks soooo cute on you!!
tysm chloe :))
I literally clicked because of the top!!
@@beans2222 LMAO its hollister :)
I have a shelf on my Goodreads for any book I DNF’d after more than 15% (if I read less than that, then I don’t bother tracking it), and there are 68 books from just the last 20 months 😳😳
yk thats good tho! life is so short why waste time finishing books that you don't like :)
I bought all the twisted series and I’m pretty positive that’s the last time I bought all the books in a series without reading the first book first. I’ve managed to read the first two but I did not have a good time at all. The last two are sitting on my tbr pile when they really should be in a dnf pile. I’ll probably force myself to try them eventually since I paid for them but it taught me not to do that anymore.
oof i feel you. i try not to buy series either unless i’ve read them all. you can always sell the books! :’)
@@sophie_jo I can’t as I have this toxic trait that makes me keep all my books, even those I’ve DNF’d 🤦🏻♀️ I’ll probably die one day crushed under all my books😂😂😂😂
