now I'm just curious: How do y'all feel about that minimalist, cartoony cover style on books like If I Never Met You? I thought it was great and so cute at first, but now every contemporary book looks the same and it's getting kinda meh with me XD
Personally I take it as a sign that the book will be on the cute and fluffy end of the scale whereas the stock photo cover books tend to be dramatic and angsty, and I tend to prefer cute and fluffy, so it's a good screening feature for me. It's not a perfect system but it mostly works for me!
I love them!! I see them and immediately want to read them all. But my tbr is like 500 books long so...i should probably start reading the books I already own 🙈🙈
If that first book was written by literally anyone other than a cis white heterosexual man born from money, then I'd consider the advice. He's in no position to tell people to stop being victims and suck it up when he's never experienced an once of oppression let alone struggle in his whole life.
@DanNiDae like I’m sure he has wisdom, but it is a good point that he doesn’t really have much experience to back up talking about marginalization/victimization.
I just finished reading Crazy Rich Asians, and I do agree he focuses on some details a little too much, what got me was the focus on all these irrelevant rich people I don't care about. There is so much spent away from the "main characters" on random cousins and aunts doing random things to show the disfunction in their lives and I'm like 'wow I hate these people' great, so what. The movie did a great thing by cutting off a lot of the fat and just focusing on Rachel and Nick's story with just a little bit of Astrid's story mixed in there.
Nanami Haruka exactly my thoughts! not to mention those pages and pages of him describing rich people houses and stuff... it took me forever to get through, although thankfully it picked up towards the end. i would honestly say the movie is better than the book.
I agree that the book is a little too long, but I don't think the movie is an improvement so much as a different genre. Since CRA the book is a satire, it makes sense that it's showing more breadth. The movie is a romcom so it's focused on the couple.
The whole thing cindy said about choosing and accepting your struggle because all your life you atlre going to struggle anyway is so true and something I realised recently and I just cannot say how much I have started looking up to cindy as my older wiser sister😌
"As someonen with depression [...] I might as well find something that I'm okay with being miserable with.." Wow, I can't believe I haven't thought of this yet. That is exactly it! 🤯
I haven't read Crazy Rich Asians but I've seen the movie and Peik Lin (played by Awkwafina) reminded me of you. She was so cool and funny, and the movie is pretty cute if you don't want to read the book
God the name Sex and Vanity just reminds me of the countless of ads I got from this book, like no Spotify, I don’t want to buy Sex and Vanity, I’m just here for your music man :,)
Akwaeke Emezi is non-binary so if you end up reading and reviewing more of their books (and I hope you do, their writing is amazing!), do be mindful of their pronouns. Loved your wrap-up, as usual!
When I turned 18 I don’t think I got any more mature or wise - I just suddenly was unable to read YA books. I open one up and suddenly it feels like someone is tugging my soul out of my chest. Very scary. It’s not that they can’t be good or adults can’t read them, I’m just apparently haunted by a very specific demon.
cindy talks about chicklit with evergrowing passion nglnglngl edit: she is now passionately destroying this book every video has better plot twists than acotar
@@nrsyzygy the one i currently read is "mo dao zu shi" by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu (also has a animation, tv drama and manhua). They also have 2 other danmei story's based on the xianxia genre :)(heavens official blessing, scum villains self serving system). You can find all of them online i think. Oh and one i don't know much about but is also in the same genre and sounds really cool is "A Gatekeeper and the Celestial Sovereign by M. Lexi. Hope that helps ^^
yo bruh yo bruh i love that series so much!!! how are you liking it so far? i’d definitely recommend checking out the donghua and the live action tv series on Netflix. the donghua has 2 seasons and it’s all on CZcams.
so, to reiterate “no matter where you go, there’s a 500-pound load of shit waiting for you. and that’s perfectly fine. the point isn’t to get away from the shit. the point is to find the shit you enjoy dealing with.” this inspiring message given on a sunday at 1 pm is kind of a vibeeee
As a mixed, half white half Asian child myself, I was quite excited to hear about Sex and Vanity as I don't hear about many books about mixed (white/Asian) children. Despite the immaturity of the protagonist I'm quite excited to give this one a read.
Cindy. As someone who is probably in the minority of your audience age. (I'm 31). I can assure you, that many older ppl still act and behave as if they are still in HS. You'll be surprised just how little people actually change. Love the video like always. 😊
When I publish my book, I would actually cry of joy if it ended up being in one of your videos. Anyways, did you spot a certain J Maas book coming out in February 👀
YES it would be weird to date someone who looks just like you NO I don’t care YES I’m gay YES I grew up watching Barbie Princess and the Pauper WHAT OF IT
Listening to One to Watch and I can't stop haha, when you said addictive you were right. Sitting on my computer right now not working but trying to. Love your recommendations.
I read " The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" and I remember enjoying it. But that's the thing, I cannot recall anything from the book's contents at all. And I read it not that long ago. Probably I enjoyed it because of the f* bombs due to my immature sense of humor, but that was it.
@@withcindy I know and as a teenager reading these books you dont even realise how much bullshit you are internalizing that's why PLEASE KEEP REVIEWING FANTASY AND ROMANCE NOVELS because you are great at being honest and articulate this shit really well
8:23 sadly that is exactly the case. She's almost 40 single and embarrassed she obviously hasn't reached the point of "I'm a strong powerful woman who can take care of myself" especially since her entire life revolved around her ex. Sad but true.
Since you’re reading more adult novels at the moment, I highly recommend The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang. I know you get recommendations all the time lol BUT I think you’ll enjoy this one since it’s fantasy and is rich with modern Chinese history but also has gods and military schools.❤️ (Also the finale releases next month sooooo)
Yeees! I finished it yesterday! Its amazing even if first part is really slow and has some typical topic I feel are more like... Book form of clickbait.
god YEAH. i blazed through both books in two-three days, i was so completely sucked in. i'm so psyched to see more of my absolute fave venka in the next one
i am so beyond excited for your "a deadly education" review haha! I loved it so much ive read it 3 times and already thinking of buying the special editions i didnt know was a thing!!! also pretty keen for "the invisible life of addie larue", ive seen some excerpts and it looks so good, and im also looking at "the southern bookclubs guide to slaying vampires".
Bunny is one of my favorite books of all time. I am seething with anticipation for what you think, regardless if it's one you enjoy or not. Thank you for another great video!
I liked the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy, I always thought the focus was supposed to be on the social commentary and the weird world of modern Singapore instead of being it being a straightforward romance.
Knew someone who used to work as a janitor at a law firm. THE AMOUNT OF PETTY SHE'D TELL ME IN REGARDS TO LAWYERS IS INSANE. That is to say, I totally believe that a lawyer would be a petty bitch to spite her ex at the same firm. 😂😂
I got introduced to booktube through you and honestly, I wouldn’t do it any other way. I can’t even imagine watching someone that doesn’t have your wit and sarcasm 😭
OKAY SO I just saw this vid today but I read One to Watch right after hearing your good review and oh my GOD I know what part your friend was talking about when she texted you about that trust-destroying guy... truly did not suspect it and it gave me WHIPLASH oh my god
i ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS recommend pet to everyone i meet, i am SO glad you read it, even with a 3.5 rating. it's writing alone kick-started me back into doing a little creative fiction on the side
also: about "a song of wraiths and ruins" and its usage of fantastical west africa: i just read 'cemetery boys', which is more urban fantasy but features latinx magical elements and made me feel really at home. it has more romcom elements than serious fantasy as a ya book, but it was super enjoyable and a good read for the fall season
My opinions of A Song of Wraiths and Ruin: As someone who YA Fantasy is kind of aimed towards, I hated the book. It’s been 3 weeks and I still haven’t finished it, although i have maybe 30 pages left. It was just so boring to me, it felt like it just dragged on and on and I just couldn’t stand it. Also, it could be gayer.
aww im sorry u couldnt enjoy the book! i totally agree that it could be gayer, i was actually thinking what if malik's sister had been the one cursed by the wraith and had to enter the competition?? imagine how JUICY that would have been!!
I had just finished reading the book One to Watch from your recommendation here and IT WAS GREAT!! Read it really quick cuz it was fun. Thank you, Cindy! This has gotta be the second book I picked up from your book lists and I'm looking forward to reading more!!

Since you’re reading more adult novels at the moment, I highly recommend The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang. I know you get recommendations all the time lol BUT I think you’ll enjoy this one since it’s fantasy and is rich with modern Chinese history but also has gods and military schools.❤️ (Also the finale releases next month sooooo)
that's on my TBR but not sure when i'll read it yet!
readwithcindy I suggest maybe a more quiet (not-so-busy) weekend. You really gotta get immersed with the story!
Yeees! I finished it yesterday! Its amazing even if first part is really slow and has some typical topic I feel are more like... Book form of clickbait.
god YEAH. i blazed through both books in two-three days, i was so completely sucked in. i'm so psyched to see more of my absolute fave venka in the next one
@@butterflytaster5553 I'm torned, bc second book was not yet translated to my native language and i'm afraid I will not understand it :/
I've been watching your videos to go to sleep because i find you and your opinions soothing somehow. I don't understand either, but thank you.
Aww thanks!!
i am so beyond excited for your "a deadly education" review haha! I loved it so much ive read it 3 times and already thinking of buying the special editions i didnt know was a thing!!!
also pretty keen for "the invisible life of addie larue", ive seen some excerpts and it looks so good, and im also looking at "the southern bookclubs guide to slaying vampires".
Oooh the southern bookclubs guide is also on my TBR!!
I'm not even past the sponsorship yet, but this is definitely going to be good.
...and it is, I enjoy your commentary!
aww thanks :3
dark, whimsical? long and adventurous? gross negligence of adults? read a series of unfortunate events
Bunny is one of my favorite books of all time. I am seething with anticipation for what you think, regardless if it's one you enjoy or not. Thank you for another great video!
I read One to Watch cause of your video, it was amazinggg. Such delicious twists, thank you
Sooo juicy!!
I liked the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy, I always thought the focus was supposed to be on the social commentary and the weird world of modern Singapore instead of being it being a straightforward romance.
Knew someone who used to work as a janitor at a law firm. THE AMOUNT OF PETTY SHE'D TELL ME IN REGARDS TO LAWYERS IS INSANE. That is to say, I totally believe that a lawyer would be a petty bitch to spite her ex at the same firm. 😂😂
Omg law firms sound so toxic
Already off to a great start 😂 love you Cindy.
Thank u 😘
I got introduced to booktube through you and honestly, I wouldn’t do it any other way. I can’t even imagine watching someone that doesn’t have your wit and sarcasm 😭
I definitely need to read Sex and Vanity just to meet this guy who simply breathes and makes the MC go wild...that’s one hell of a power to have
13:50 Don't know if anyone else already commented this, but just wanted to note that Akwaeke Emezie goes by "they"/"them"
Thank u for letting me know!!
I love how u start talking a lot faster when talking about One to Watch cuz now we know if we werent sure before, it's a must read
OKAY SO I just saw this vid today but I read One to Watch right after hearing your good review and oh my GOD I know what part your friend was talking about when she texted you about that trust-destroying guy... truly did not suspect it and it gave me WHIPLASH oh my god
YUP YUP
"they've only met 3 times" LMAO YOU DID NOT COME TO PLAY W KEVIN KWAN 😭😭
i ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS recommend pet to everyone i meet, i am SO glad you read it, even with a 3.5 rating. it's writing alone kick-started me back into doing a little creative fiction on the side
yes the writing is fantastic! i think it's a wonderful MG book :)
also: about "a song of wraiths and ruins" and its usage of fantastical west africa: i just read 'cemetery boys', which is more urban fantasy but features latinx magical elements and made me feel really at home. it has more romcom elements than serious fantasy as a ya book, but it was super enjoyable and a good read for the fall season
aw beans, god cemetery boys is such a great book I’m still hung up on it and now trying to read more diverse books that are similar
and here i am again procrastinating studying for finals and binge watching Cindy's videos...
I enjoy your book reviews so much. 💗
Aw thank you! ♥️
cindy have you watched hamilton? even if you don't like history, for daveed diggs it's worth it 😌
Dude, she would love Say No To This
@@francescakyanda9182 she really would
When you said you were reading Mexican Gothic I was like Yes!
It's so good:)
Can't wait!
@@withcindy oh did you review I quite liked it. I could taste the magico realismo on my tongue
Watching this with one eye open. My mornings are good.
I promis you Cindy can sell every book that really resonate with her. Damn. Want to read One to Watch. 💙
My opinions of A Song of Wraiths and Ruin: As someone who YA Fantasy is kind of aimed towards, I hated the book. It’s been 3 weeks and I still haven’t finished it, although i have maybe 30 pages left. It was just so boring to me, it felt like it just dragged on and on and I just couldn’t stand it. Also, it could be gayer.
I mean a lot of YA books could be gayer, if only they were given the chance.
aww im sorry u couldnt enjoy the book! i totally agree that it could be gayer, i was actually thinking what if malik's sister had been the one cursed by the wraith and had to enter the competition?? imagine how JUICY that would have been!!
Ethereal Mushroom True
readwithcindy I would’ve been way more into it if that happened
It could have been gayer!! 😄
when are you gonna do a video on kissing the coronavirus-
Soon
I just saw Amanda's video on this "book" and man, it is definitely weird.
I love that you loved One To Watch. I felt so seen by that book.
I had just finished reading the book One to Watch from your recommendation here and IT WAS GREAT!! Read it really quick cuz it was fun. Thank you, Cindy! This has gotta be the second book I picked up from your book lists and I'm looking forward to reading more!!
Hellllllllllllll yeah its book time.
yesss a time to forget reality
3rd comment! Love you Cindy! I found your channel like a month ago and i love it!! I've been binge watching your videos and they are so entertaining! keep doing what you do, you are amazing
Yay! Thank you!
When you post a video I'm always questioning whether I should make popcorn or a pot of tea because the tea is hott in here and I love it 😂
do both!
Constantly in awe of how smart you are 👏
