elyse you don't understand how happy i get when you post book reviews 💞💞 youre a natural at this!!
Thank you so much!!! I have to push past a LOT OF FEAR when I post these because there’s so many people that are really really great at book reviews that I love and respect so much. So I want to do this in a way that is natural to me but I just get so nervous 😅
@@elyse_myersyou're welcome!! i know you're more into realistic fiction from what i see, but you should read Powerless!! its my favorite ❤️
I absolutely adore your reviews, the system you have, and who you are! Thank you for powering through and sharing this with us! @elyse_myers
I second this 🎉🎉🎉
Agree! I open my library app and put holds on the books that interest me while I'm watching!!
I am 4 books deep in the Elyse Myers Book Club. Your descriptions are spot on. I hadn’t given romance type novels much of a try, but I am hooked:) Please keep giving reviews!
Omg this makes my heart so happy!!!!!!! 😭♥️♥️♥️
@@elyse_myersbook club should be a real thing lol!!!!
Same! You have gotten this adhd’er into reading ….something I have wanted but had lost hope! For me to stay on task I need a really good one, (your reviews are spot on!) and an audio and book together….at 1.25 speed. 😂
Same! They've all been so good! Elyse is helping sell so many books 😂
Elyse Myers book club!!
Elyse, this book review series is feeding my soul. I read all of these kinds of books too. But I’ve always been a little embarrassed to admit it because I’m the only one I know who reads this stuff. The fact that you show to the whole internet that you love these books heals me in a way I didn’t know I needed. Thank you! 🥰
Oh my gosh, friend! You have nothing to be embarrassed about! WELCOME TO THE BOOK CLUB! ❤❤
@@elyse_myers 💗💗💗💗
I did not have Elyse Myers being my new favorite book creator on my bingo card this year but I am here for it
I absolutely adore listening to you talk about books. It’s so thorough and well thought out and concise without feeling remotely spoilery. I sincerely can’t wait for these videos every month.
AHHHH this is so kind! Thank you so much!!! 🥹♥️
“Page 12: I find that people like me better if they don’t have to expend emotional energy on me 👀 👀”
12 pages in and the book is already reading the depths of my soul 😂
I love how thoroughly you describe a book without spoiling the actual plot. It's everything I need to hear to know if I want to read it or not! Keep making these, I love them
There’s nothing I love more than listening to people talk about books they’ve read, whether they’ve enjoyed them or not. People have already commented this, but your reviews are just perfect. They’re well organized/thought out, without spoilers. I’ve read quite a few of these books and it doesn’t matter if I’ve agreed or disagreed, what I loved is that you had thoughts and opinions that helped me see it from a different perspective. You have such a gift for this. ❤
I love that you're posting book reviews!!
Thank you!! I hope they’re helpful!! 🥹🫶🏼
I USED TO WASH AND IRON ALL OF MY PAPER MONEY AS A KID AND TEENAGER! 😆 My then boyfriend, now husband of 15 years, actually bought me a fancy ironing board for my 17th birthday, because he saw and appreciated my weird. I feel so SEEN right now! ❤️❤️❤️
Omg; that was so sweet and thoughtful of your husband! 🥹❤️
To be appreciated for your “weird”….more valuable than gold😊
OKAY I HAVE LITERALLY NEVER MET ANYONE ELSE THAT DID THIS. I feel so seen 😭😭😭
This is my favorite story from this whole romance story video! ☺
@@elyse_myers Yes!!! You are not alone! And now I know I’m not, either! 💜
I am so happy for your longer form content! Whether it's random days, lofe updates, running errands, or reviewing books, I love it all. Feels like hanging out with a good friend, every time. I love it so much!
i am SO loving these book reviews! i currently have a tbr list that is WAY too long to be adding books elyse talks about...but here we are. i don't often read new books. i usually just reread my favorites or additions to pre-loved series/authors. but these videos have actually inspired me to dive into the world of romance books once i get through my other tbr books.
thanks for keeping me company while i folded my laundry, elyse :)
I'm just amazed you remember all these details for every single book you read in a month (which is A LOT). I can barely finish a single book in a year, and I would not be able to talk about it a month later.
Totally agree! I love reading and I get lost in most stories. When I’m done however, my brain dumps the info and I couldn’t tell their names.
Especially having ADHD! I have no memory for details, especially to that level 😮
I had this EXACT thought, amazing that Elyse remembers so much! It takes me months to read a book and when I finish I have no deep recollections :|
try audiobooks I finally submitted to them and I’m finishing like 4 books a month doing chores and driving to get coffee, occasionally while pretending to watch children’s television too 😂
@@meganhund2962 I submitted to them this year too! Unfortunately I still seem to zone out with them depending on how anxious/stressed I am but I do enjoy having the option of both. I’m getting through at least one book a month now which is awesome for me! Love the bit about children’s shows…how many episodes of Thomas I watched when my son was young 😂
I love your book content so much! (And all of your other content too, but BOOKS!) And I'm so happy you got to read Kiss Quotient! Lifechanging.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! 🥹♥️
I love how you talk about books! It’s so refreshingly real and honest
I'm so beyond excited that you started book reviews. I've always loved your content and it just makes me even happier that you're actively in the book community now!
Agatha Christie books are in a genre called cozy mysteries. There are so many, I hope you find and enjoy more of them!
This is the PERFECT way to describe her stories! Thank you for telling me this! I’m learning all the different sub-genres and the more I learn, the easier it is to find the stories I’m looking to read!
Oh my goodness. There are so many wonderful cozy mysteries. So excited for you to read more, @elyse_myers!!
Agatha Christie is amazing. I'm not sure I'd put her in the cozy mystery genre. Rather, many cozy mystery authors try to emulate her (and not always very well). That said, my suggestion for Elyse is is Murder on the Orient Express or Ordeal by Innocence, only because they are among her most well known. But you really can't go wrong with whatever you choose. All of her books are excellent.
Oooo, Agatha Christie!! Definitely check out Murder on the Orient Express and The Murder of Roger Ackroyd!! Two of my favs!!
If you like cozy mysteries, I definitely recommend the Glass and Steele series by CJ Archer.
Please keep these book reviews coming! Being totally honest, I get so bored with so many people’s book review videos, but yours keep me so interested the entire time! ❤
ALSO I NEED YOU TO READ MAGNOLIA PARKS AND DAISY HAITES especially with you saying you loved reading toxic….PLEASE read them ASAP!
I’m so glad these are helpful for you!!! I really enjoy making them!
@@caitlinmadden2342ADDING THEM TO THE LIST
I’m giving this review a go, which is a huge step because I never relate to anyone’s opinions and perceptions, so book reviews are pointless to me. But I’m intrigued here
I am absolutely living for your books reviews! I love your rating scales. I'm an avid reader, but I've never annotated a book.....now I kind of want to try it. Thanks for sharing!
these have quite literally become my most anticipated videos each month!
The murder of roger ackroyd was my first Agatha Christie and I was SHOOK by the ending haha
I would also recommend this one as well as Murder on the Orient Express!
YES THIS ONE!!
Most definitely this one! I am using Murder of Roger Ackroyd to introduce my high school British Literature class to Agatha Christie.
Dick Francis is another great author, you never see the way out of the puzzle until the end. Set in England (not historical)
"And then there were none" was my first- blew my tiny 13 year old mind and I never looked back hehe
I’d LOVE if you do this regularly!! It’s my favorite video you’ve maybe ever done
She has an earlier review video for the books of May!
I am going to be doing it every month!! ❤❤
Elyse… I need more book reviews from you, I love your rating systems and how you explain the story without giving everything away! I’ve been wanting to read more lately, and I really appreciate you introducing me to these books… 💛
i am genuinely in love with your book reviews. your rating scale makes so much sense to my brain and really lets me have an idea of what the book is like. you are slowly becoming one of my favourite creators when it comes to books and i can’t wait to hear more of your views 🥰🫶🏻
You might like Elinor Oliphant is completely fine. It has a mystery but it’s just not scary at all because it’s a woman trying to figure out repressed meme prices from 20 years ago. It’s a good picture of mental illness and friendship, it’s not really my genre but I was hooked
I just read this book and LOVED it! It got me back into reading, actually. Highly recommend @elyse
Oooh, I loved this one too!
Just posted a comment about this one too!
Yes!! I thought she was more good autistic woman rep
Loved this book!!!
Thank you for another outstanding book review! Honestly regardless of the content you upload, I find myself having a positive experience. Thank you.
This is so kind, thank you so much!
Can I just say your reviews are my favorite. The way you map it out and explain. Is by far the best I have seen on YT. ❤
Absolutely ADORE your book reviews! Thank you for taking all the time to rate, review and film it all!
I’m 72 and an avid reader ever since I discovered (in middle school) the Robert Heinlein Sci-Fi book “Have Spacesuit, Will Travel”. Really, really enjoy your book reviews and your choices. I thought I was the only other person in the world afraid to get out of bed to pee when books have scared me. You make me feel happy and smile a lot. Keep doing what you’re doing, please.
Love the Heinlein juvenelia!!! Time for the Stars, The Family Stone, The Star Beast,
Your description of Verity was perfect! Loved/hated this book so much, and the ENDING 😳🤯!
I’m loving your book reviews, thanks!
Agreed! Loved her review
this was so fun and simple in the best way! I love your little info cards for each book and like others have said, you gave great vibes of the books without spoiling the content of it!
Elyse, you have this amazing way of articulating the thoughts I have on the books here that I have read that is just amazing. It’s like we’re friends and you know what I’m going to say before I say it but in a far better way than I ever could. Because of that I will always watch these book videos, they are so thorough and cute and you, I love them! Thank you for sharing your time and your thoughts in this way. You’ll always be my favorite relatable queen!
Also, you should read The Maid by Nita Prose (and the sequel The Mystery Guest) the main character is so endearing.
Wow that excerpt from love theoretically was super powerful. Also it gave me anxiety to work out how to make myself work around jack and it was only a sentence 😭
RIGHT?!?!?
If you’ve never read The Rosie Project, I highly recommend it for you. It’s about a genetics professor who wants to find the perfect wife. It is not stated that he is on the spectrum, but it definitely comes off as if he is, or maybe he is just socially awkward. It’s a lot cuter than I am making it sound. There are three books in the series, but the first is the best.
Yeah. I loved the first book. The second was ok. But by the 3rd i was thinking if there is ever a 4th one id give it a miss. I felt after the first one the series tanked
LOVED the first as an audiobook!!!!
I also loved this book! It was so charming and I loved the characters
I came here to recommend this book too! Agree that the series goes downhill but the first one could easily be a standalone anyway.
Second this!
I love this! I didn‘t know I needed such a comprehensive system of reviewing a book, but I‘m loving it! This way I can really tell if it is for me ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love these book reviews so much! As a reader myself I think your rating systems are amazing and are very helpful! I can’t wait to see more book reviews in the future!
Your book reviews are awesome Elyse. The way your brilliant brain works in describing, categorising, rating and notating them is so so good ! I’m murder mystery and thriller fan (less spice) so I will go read based on your recommendation 💛
i think this might be my favorite book review video i’ve watched. it was so much more entertaining then most reviews i’ve watched and the way you explained and described the books just made so much sense to me. i could tell which books you truly loved and why and actually remembered all of your reviews by the end. and the rating scales make so much sense. love love love this video and i can’t wait to read some of your faves!!
Super intelligent well thought through content which is so much appreciated . You totally deserve your viewing figures ❤
I absolutely love your book reviews. I love your thoughts and your rating scales, I will be adopting them for my book reviews too. Several books I have been on the fence about I will now be reading!
YESSS A LONG VIDEO WITH ELYSE!!! I love your book reviews & finding new books to add to my TBR! Pls keep making content, you are soo good at what you do! 🤍🤍🤍
When you started this series, I instantly thought of The Kiss Quotient! I have read it a bunch of times, and it helped me understand my own neurodivergence. So glad you're on that train.
Elyse!! I hope you are your family are well!! I am so glad you have started posting these book reviews. I have never been able to find a book reviewer with such similar taste as mine that I can go to for recommendations. Every review you have done on books I have also read are exactly how I have reviewed them! Looking forward to reading with you 😊
I love love love your book reviews. You have a different taste in books to me but the way your passion shines through makes me want to read the books you read! And that’s very impressive. Keep going!
Absolutely love your book reviews, Elyse! I usually can’t make it through CZcams book review videos but yours are so engaging. I highly recommend Ali Hazelwood’s second book, Love on the Brain, it’s one of her earlier ones but it’s so much fun and the romance is adorable. Also, if you’re looking for mystery novels in the same vein as Agatha Christie with just a dash of romance, Sherry Thomas’s Lady Sherlock series is so underrated! It’s got great characters, some neurodivergent coding, and is hysterical an amazing genderbent version of Sherlock Holmes.
Watching your reviews with my Libby TBR list on another tab, and adding them as I hear your reviews. Please never stop these book reviews! Youre so good at these!
No because same got 3 new recs so far
I'm now obsessed with your book reviews. Please never stop doing this.
I would just like to say that your structure and system for ranking these books is IMMENSELY helpful and I LOVE how you describe without spoiling. Thank you thank you thank you!
I suggest Can't Spell Treason Without Tea. It's a fantasy, drama, comedy. I'm not finished with it yet, but so far, it's a fantastic read.
Book description: "All Reyna and Kianthe want is to open a bookshop that serves tea. Worn wooden floors, plants on every table, firelight drifting between the rafters ... all complemented by love and good company. Thing is, Reyna works as one of the Queen's private guards, and Kianthe is the most powerful mage in existence. Leaving their lives isn't so easy. But after an assassin takes Reyna hostage, she decides she's thoroughly done risking her life for a self-centered queen. Meanwhile, Kianthe has been waiting for a chance to flee responsibly -- all the better that her girlfriend is on board. Together, they settle in Tawney, a town nestled in the icy tundra near dragon country, and open the shop of their dreams. What follows is a cozy tale of mishaps, mysteries, and a murderous queen throwing the realm's biggest temper tantrum. In a story brimming with hurt/comfort and quiet fireside conversations, these two women will discover just what they mean to each other ... and the world."
You should crochet book covers so you can put them on the books that are too scary or not your favorite! lol
I absolutely LOVE your book content! It’s so different to many other booktubers I follow and I’m all here for it. Already can’t wait for the next one.
The way you review so deeply and not spoil anything is such an art. The best book review video I’ve ever watched. Absolute perfection
I’m CACKLING watching you get paranoid bc you’re talking about scary books bc that is absolutely SO RELATABLE
For Agatha Christie: my favorite so far is the Murder of Roger Ackroyd! Super recommend. Will have to check out Five little pigs 👀
Please keep doing these! I listen to audiobooks all day at work, and need more ideas- so keep ’em coming!
Elyse is so amazing, and she inspires me every time I watch her videos. She's so real and a joy to watch.
Love you! ❤❤❤
You’re soooo close to a million friends!!! 🎉❤
We’ll get there! Slow and steady!! 🥹♥️
Literally no one on here deserves it more. I am so hyped to see her reach 1M!
@@_HolyHell_ you and me both!!! love her to bits! 🥰
I wish I wasn’t already subscribed, so I could subscribe and get you that much closer!
this is my first time watching this genre of youtube video and i loved every second of it - thank you for your honest reviews!
This makes me so happy, thank you for being here!
Thus was so much fun to watch and so helpful! You helped me add a few more books to my TBR! I'm excited! ❤
Been an Elyse fan for a while, but as a bookseller and a fellow bookworm, my love for you has leveled up yet again! You are an incredible book reviewer. 💜
I love listening to you talking about books! ❤️ It gets me excited to keep reading for fun too 🥰 Some book recommendations I think you might like:
1. Half a Soul by Olivia Atwater (some autism rep in the FL, cozy fantasy)
2. Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren (super cozy romance)
3. Piranesi (mystery, magical realism, somewhat eerie)
4. Anxious People by Frederick Backman (mystery, FUNNY, heartfelt, beautiful writing)
I love these reviews so much! I have the type of adhd where I cannot read a book to save my life so there's about a 1% chance I would read any of the books you mention, but I still love your videos and find these reviews very interesting. I did start trying audiobooks recently though, so perhaps I will try out one of your favorites as an audiobook if it's available! I hope you're doing well recently and trying your best to be patient with yourself. 🙌
Every once in a while, my autism overpowers my ADHD and this is what you’re seeing happening here. So I fully understand the struggle! For some reason my brain has really latched onto reading in this current season of my life. But this comes and goes! 😂
@@elyse_myers That's so cool though!! I am glad you are able to find something that brings you joy, even if it doesn't last forever, and clearly it brings a lot of other people joy too based on the other comments. I just love watching/listening to people talk about the things that they are passionate about. Side note, thank you for being so real in your videos. I rarely ever comment since I feel like I don't have anything worthy/meaningful to add, but I have a deep appreciation for your videos and how honest you are with everything. It's so cool to watch a CZcamsr like yourself and actually feel like I can relate to the things you talk about, it makes me feel like I just want to be your friend
I have had the same ADHD problem and also consumed pretty much only audiobooks for awhile. I find that reading on a kindle is helpful because the “tap to turn page” action keeps me more engaged. I make the font pretty big so I can read without my glasses on, so I’m tapping more often than I would turn the page of a physical book.
@@jackiewackie62 omg that is actually such a good idea. Making the words bigger and getting to turn the pages more often seems so simple but I feel like it would make a huge difference. I am definitely going to try this out, so thank you for sharing what helps you!
A friend told me listening on 2x speed also helped her override her adhd to find listening more enjoyable. I can rarely listen on that speed and am more of 1.25 gal
I can tell you’re having fun and it makes your book reviews so fun to watch!!
I am absolutely loving your CZcams channel. I don't know how to describe it, but it feels like this channel is "back to the basics" of why I adored your content in the first place! You are such a funny, creative, and lovely person and I really enjoy hearing about your perspective and experiences! ❤❤❤
Your rating scale is just everything 😍
omg i just finished watching your other book video and now reading behind her eyes! yay for another book video & recos
OMG I HOPE YOU LOVE ‘BEHIND HER EYES’ SO MUCH!!!!!!!!
Keep doing book reviews! Your rating scale is so helpful (especially as someone who generally avoids spice 🙏🏻) - loving these videos!!
I love your book content so much! Your scales are so thorough and I’ve absolutely put some of these on my TBR
Penny Reid’s “Knitting in the City” series has some delightful neurodivergent characters and representation. I know you get a lot of recommendations, but I had to throw it out there.❤ I love your videos, I feel seen and like I’ve been hanging out with a friend without having to drain my social battery. Thanks for all you do. ❤
well this comment reached me and I just added the first book to my 2024 tbr list on goodreads
Thank you so much for doing these reviews! I am also a whimp. I’ve been interested in the silent patient but was worried about reading it, so it’s great to know how scary it is. Your spicy and scary scale are so precise I don’t have to wonder when choosing a book. Thank you and please keep doing these!
Omg I love this!! I love watching any video you put out. Your personality is so great and you’re genuinely funny. I’ve watched BookTube for years and I wasn’t aware that you post about books too until this video. I love love love your rating system and everything about this video. I now will go find your other videos taking about books. Thank you for blessing us with this! ❤
I adore Agatha Christie!! Two of my favorites (and probably 2 of her most popular/considered her best) are The Murder of Roger Ackroyd and Murder on the Orient Express. Excited to hear your thoughts as you delve further into the Queen of Crime Fiction 😊
Also love your spice scale- I’m a fan of romance/rom-coms but I hate when it’s largely sex scenes with little to no character development/plot. If I wanted erotica I’d pick up erotica 🤦♀️.
I just wanted to be weird and say thank you for these amazing reviews. You are so articulate and your descriptions are chefs kiss. A lot of these books I have not read yet but felt like I couldn’t because nobody was chatting about them anymore. Now that you are chatting about them, I feel like I can finally read some books that I’ve wanted to but held back from. You feel like a close bookish friend and since I don’t actually have a bookish friend that means a lot.
The Kiss Quotient is such a good book!!
I love your reviews. I have read few of these and it was like geeking out with you. Love it. Also, that disassociating break time was so relatable!! That is my work flow.
I read yours truly after you recommended it and gave it 6 stars Thankyou so much for that!!! My top reads of this year are the good girls guide to murder series and the summer I turned pretty series. Also dived into the thrillers and recommend the house across the lake from Riley sager!
I’ve heard really good things about the good girls guide to murder series!!! I’m adding it to my “to read” list right now because of this comment!
Hope you enjoy it also a tv series now!
I love your book reviews!!! ❤
Thank you so much!!!
@@elyse_myers Ofc!!
This is so fun! I love listening to you talk about books. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
This video popped up on my home page, and I'm so happy it did. I've been in a reading slump, and this video was so comforting and fun to watch that I decided to pick up a book to read. Can't wait for future reviews!
After your Verity recommendation you may be nervous to read a book recommendation 😂 But The Rosie Project is a must read.
Hahahaha no not at all, it’s just that I’ve learned to do like 2 more minutes of googling when it comes to looking the books up so I know what I’m getting into 😂😂😂 but if I see a book suggested enough, my curiosity gets the best of me and I have to go for it! I’ve seen so many people suggest the Rosie Project! Adding this to my list!!
I need an update on the book ironing incident, did it work?! 😂
It did!!! Worked so well! Put their on on level 2 or 3 and pressed each page for a couple seconds! Was done in 15 minutes and the book was at least 50% thinner and closer to its original shape!
@@elyse_myers this is the best news!! Thanks for the update :)) My anxiety levels have been reduced lol
I love these videos so much!!! Looking forward to the next one!
i love your book reviews bc i love the way you talk about books but it's always so surprising to me the books you talk about. I didn't expect it to be so many tiktok books or coho. but i do feel inspired to read more whenever i watch these which is nice
Okay, but have you heard of Brando Sando?? If you have an interest in trying out an epic fantasy series, I would highly recommend his Mistborn Trilogy! He created such a unique magic system and he really writes for the masses imo 🙃 He is really good at exploring the mental health of his characters as well.
PS. His name is actually Brandon Sanderson, but obviously Brando Sando is a fantastic nickname and I can’t not use it when I talk about him 😅
Looking this author up ASAP!!!!!
@@elyse_myers YAYY!! If you want a single book instead of a series, he has stand alone fantasy novels like ‘Tress of the Emerald Sea’ and ‘Yumi and the Nightmare Painter’ that are ✨chefs kiss✨
It is a really good series! It’s a little frustrating if you’re a binge reader because he recaps a lot between books and I juiuuuuust finished reading it
@@EmilyAnn634571I hate that! The Koli series by M Carey was such a terrible case of that too, it killllled the series for me
Start with Warbreaker actually, that’s a standalone book and you can decide if you want to commit to one of his series from there!!!! (You probably will because Warbreaker is amazing!!!)
I have never seen someone iron a book did it work? 😅
YES it did!! I put it super low and at first I thought I would need to put a towel or something over it but then when I put the iron low enough I could just iron the pages straight on! Took about 15 minutes but it worked really well!
Good to know!
I love your book content! You got me back into by book obsession! Based on your review of King of Wrath I know you and I jive on books and added a bunch you’ve read to my list!
Thank you Elyse! Please keep making these. I got so many new book ideas 😊
HOW DO YOU READ SO FAST
I had surgery and was down and out for a solid week where I couldn’t do anything but lay in bed and read. It was the kind of bored where even your favorite TV shows got old. I was reading like 2 books a day at one point because I couldn’t even sleep anymore because I was laying in bed so much 😂
@@elyse_myers dang you still must have a very good attention span. i hope you are feeling better now!! 🩷
@@kierstynsaoirsedoing good now!! It was just something on my shoulder we needed to take care of before it got worse but it was in a weird place where I had to hide in the room since I couldn’t pick up my kiddos. Lent itself to a lot of good books! 😅😂
@@elyse_myers lol makes sense, im glad that everything turned out alright! 😊
This book review series is my absolute favorite of yours! Keep them coming! 📖😍
so glad I have found your channel. I love the way you have reviewed these books with the spice and horror levels - just perfect and so informative.
Never stop doing book reviews! I love them so much!
If I ever get myself to get more into reading, I think these videos would be a great tool for me as I love hearing your thoughts, and my preferences that I do have for various media tend to align with yours somewhat. Please keep doing these, Elyse!
I needed a video to watch to make my brain sparkle on my BDay. And here you are just giving me exactly that!!
please never stop making these videos😭💕💝
I absolutely love your book reviews and add to my Goodreads TBR shelf as I watch
Loving this! So many awesome recommendations and I really appreciate how you rate and review. Thank you!
Oh my god, thank you soooo much for this video! Just finished The Kiss Quotient after your review, and im obsessed! ❤
Love your book reviews! I have so many new books on my “to read” list now! And I’m currently reading Verity!
Your video was perfectly timed for me. I wanted to thank you. I hadn't ventured into booktok/book tube. But I really liked yours and your recommendations. I bought Verity, Behind Her Eyes, and Inheritance Games! I have a few more on the way. I tried to watch some other book reviewers (3 or 4) and I couldn't finish. Thank you! And if you can, please keep these coming!
I love these book reviews so much! The amount of books added to my TBR every month is getting out of control though ❤😂
I'm so glad that you are really doing book videos ❤❤❤❤ love you, Elyse!!!
