Thank you for talking about readers being shamed for what they read. I'm 46 years old and I like reading middle grade books a lot. I get some strange looks and comments from people when I read them in public, and sometimes I feel ashamed, but I enjoy reading about kids! I've been a babysitter/nanny for over 30 years, and have always longed to be a mother, and reading about kids makes me happy. I can also relate to a lot of kids. (I don't know what that says about me, lol.) Anyways, I agree that we should read what we want to read and others should mind their own business!
Makes me so happy you’re reading books YOU love!! I hope in the future we’ll all celebrate the books people read no matter what type of book it is!
I am in my 60's and read lots of young adult books. My nieces and nephews are advanced readers but are young. So, I read the controversial books first and decided if it is age appropriate for them.
Cheryl, you are precious and worthy of reading books that make you happy 💖 just a lil reminder!
Aww thanks! You too!@@autistic_alexis
Your comment really warmed my heart. I think it is absolutely beautiful that you love to read middle grade books. ❤
I’m learning so much about the book world lol. When I first started watching book videos I was like why do people buy so many books at one time and now I get it. Once you’re done reading you need a selection ready to choose from if you’re a mood reader.
Exactly! Haha
Powerless was a good book. I just really started reading more fantasy books and I am enjoying it a lot. No one should ever feel ashamed for what they read so thank you so much for saying that. If a book brings you joy while reading it then that is all that matters. Love the recommendation continue to be you.💯 Here for the short long whatever you do I am here for it. 💕
Totally agree! & thank you so much. So glad you’re here!
I absolutely LOVE long videos! Long lifestyle vlogs or vlog projects...*chef's kiss* I gobble those up lol
Shawnaci, you are the GOAT when it comes to book recs!!! Screw the naysayers!!! You're doing amazing things and are very much appreciated and loved.
I teach Reading/ELA to upper elementary students, many who are struggling readers. I hate genre shaming! Most people don't read, let people enjoy what they want.
Yes yes yes!
I love both. I love long videos for when I’m busy doing stuff and I love your short videos all the time. You do an amazing job explaining books and have recommendations. Thank you so much for all those amazing videos ❤
Glad you like them!
Loved the chat about the different purposes of books! I think I judged myself for a long time because I don’t really like character study/literary fiction/emotional/no plot just vibes books and I wanted to be like the cool girls. But I realized that I look to books as entertainment and escape and I want those juicy plots and twists to give my brain something to puzzle out. Also, I’m a therapist, so I think I’m set on character studies and emotions :-) Thank you for posting, love your videos!
i've been putting off binding 13 for so long but you saying it kinda gives one tree hill vibes is convincing me bc i've rewatched that show 11 times 😭
Omg you’ll love it!!
It’s all good I LOVE YOUR RECS 🥰❤️ also I love the long videos you and Alex are my new tv series 🤣😂 KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK
Chile the second you said “one tree hill vibes” you SOLD ME SISTAH downloading now
You’re going to love it!
Glad you addressed that comment…love your book recs
Keep doing what you do!
Thanks so much!
It is beyond me that people judge love for book preferences. It's so deep because people be reading their favourite genres for reasons that could be a result of life experiences, mental health, trauma, healing and so forth. So not knowing someone else's story and telling them they shouldn't read certain books/genres almost disregards everything that has made a person who they are in that moment. I mean, book taste is subject for that reason 🤷🏾♀
You should do a book themed trip with your subbies it would be so much fun!❤
I have bought a lot of your recs, they are great! I enjoy them so much!
Glad you like them!
Continue being you. I love your recommendation ❤️.
Love all your video! I’m definitely in the long video crew!
Yay so glad!
Just read binding 13 over this weekend and I am OBSESSED 😍 I can't get over it. I'm borrowing it from a friend and thankfully will be borrowing the second book tm because I cannot be apart from this series I am obsessed!!
I feel like you’re always pretty open about the kind of books you like, but you also always have different options for everyone so, that message was a waste lol. I’m glad it only made you more confident! We love it over here. Anything you post I’m here for. 😊
I can’t wait for you to get to joeys books!!!! I think about him hands down once a day🎉
Omggg I’m so excited!
I loooooveeeeeee the long videos!! ❤
So glad!
I was waiting for your review of binding 13! Yay I’m so happy you like it I started it around the same time you did and I’m obsessed!! Just finished keeping 13 and it’s even better imo! Gibsie is my fave, he had me dying🤣 his book is the April release and I cannot wait!! 🤗🤗
I kind of want to binge them all before April!! They’re so good!!
Girl we love the one videos ❤😂
Yay!! 🥹🥹
Thank you again for showing videos of the book i definitely want to read them
Love the long reading vlogs!
I'm so glad!
I 💯 enjoy any content you do👍👍👍 Love your book recommendations ❤Thank so much🙏 Keep doing what you do.
I just need you to know, Mrs. Shawnaci, I went out and purchased Binding 13, after watching this video! You get me in trouble with all the book recommendations, 😂!
The perfume that you were referring to is not a perfume, and the reason why there are no notes is because it’s supposed to stay on your body and create its own unique fragrance based on your body if that makes sense. I really want to read binding 13 as well and I love these videos.
Oo thanks for sharing! I didn’t know that!
Oh!!!! I fully know how you feel!!! A few years ago I read a popular book on BookTube and at Barnes and Nobles… it let me down in such a profound way.. I didn’t feel like it represented me as a black woman or any other black woman that I personally know… the book was “Queenie” Candice Carty-Williams!!! By “The Invisible Life of Addie Larue” is FANTASTIC!!! It’s literally a book that will always be a re-read for me 💕
Omg yay! I’m sooo excited to read it! I didn’t realize it was in the fantasy section but it makes sense with the storyline! I just thought because the midnight library is located in the fiction section it would be there. It was a nice little surprise!
Yesss I'm so happy you liked Binding 13😊 I'm looking forward to Taming 7. I'm excited for Claire's and Gibsies' story.
Same!! I can’t wait!
Omg but you have to read Out on A Limb!!!! Such a lovely and wholesome book I loved it sooo much!
I read Next of Kin and loved Hannah’s writing so I definitely want to read Out on a Limb! I’ve heard great things about it!!
Great vid! I love your channel, it feels so safe and cozy. Unrelated note, can you tell us where you get some of your knitwear/outfits from ? You dress so cute 😀
Thank you so much! Shared where I get a lot of my dresses here www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRThSYg4/
I adore how fun and creative you are (: I hope you can see yourself the way others see you, same to anyone reading this❤
Silent Fan, but here to say I would love the longer videos from your chanel!!
I'm a new subscriber and I truly love your channel. I would love for you, Alex and Taylor do a bookstore/Barnes & Noble vlog together 😀❤😄.
Many Lives of Mama Love is incredible. I read the book in two days and passed it on to two other friends who also binged it in two days.
That comment was so unnecessary! I am not the biggest romance girly but I love watching your content because of your warm and funny personality, and because I think you do a great job of talking about how books might appeal to people who have different tastes. You've convinced me to read Love & Other Words (probably one of my favorite romances now!) and Magnolia Parks, and I'm definitely going to pick up more books that you talk about. Book recs ARE personal, but I think you do a great job of talking about books in a way that helps us reflect on what we might like and dislike regardless of your final rating! Thank you for helping me broaden my reading and find romances that will be more aligned to my reading tastes. ❤
You’re so welcome! I really try to make this space a space for everyone! It makes me so happy that you love hanging out here
Punk 57 and Powerless were exceptional reads for me. (Hi Bane!...🐕)
Love long videos they are so much fun. I get quite annoyed and sad when people put readers down for what they are reading. Reading is reading and it’s a personal choice as to what you like to read. My partner doesn’t read much but when he does it’s mainly true crime which is fine I’m just happy to see him reading. But when I tell him what I’m reading he ALWAYS makes fun or has nasty comments like that’s rubbish or crap I’m reading. It use to upset me a lot, but now I don’t bother telling him what I’m reading. Reading is my escape from every day life and I love it 😊
Proud of you for reading what YOU love!
@@ShawnaciSchroeder ❤️❤️
I hope you enjoy The Deal! I also picked it up because of Booktok last year, and ended up falling in love with it.
I’ve heard such great things about it!
I loveee long videos, please keep making some long vlogs :))
More coming soon!
I totally agree! Im 50, and I struggled with the same thing. But age is literally just a number and I have come to a place inside myself that Ive decided that damn it, I am grown, I am not going to allow other people to dictate what kind of books I read or decide not to read. Im going to read whatever I want! You my dear can read whatever makes u happy, and remember, u dont need permission. From anyone 🎉❤😊
I never hear people taking about what binding 13 is about and now that you’ve told me I want it!
It’s sooo good!
I’ll keep saying this…I love that you stand on business, ten toes down for our cultural representation ❤
An arthur you should check out is Nia Arthur’s Single Dad Billionaire series! (It is bwwm though) except for one of the books, but they are SO good!
Yaaas finally! You picked up Binding 13!!! I’m so excited to see what you think! 🤔 The Deal is what got me back into reading after a 10 year hiatus! I loved it! Kind of spicy, but cute nonetheless 💜💜💜
When Shannon is mentioned as “small” I saw it as a way to hint at that she was being abused/suffering from malnutrition. Also there is 4 books currently (first two are about Shannon, next two are about her brother). The fifth book comes out this year!!! But she is rereleasing them since she was an indie author:). I just read Girl Abroad by Elle Kennedy and genuinely enjoyed it!! I’m too scared to start the off campus series since it’s super hyped haha
Omg thank you!!! I love love love that we get more Johnny and Shannon!!
Good books are good books. If you enjoy it, that's literally all that matters. I'm approaching 40 and I love YA and enjoy some Middle Grade too. The desire to look down on people for what they enjoy says more about the snob than the other person. Use that energy to read more of what you love and leave people be.
Well said!
“Is giving Rugrarts” caught me off guard 😂😂
After I finished Binding 13 I had to immediately pick up Keeping 13 and then Saving 6. I cant wait to read Redeeming 6 and Taming 7... Gibsie and Claires book is going to wreck me... I cant wait!!!
I think that in Binding 13 Shannon’s height and her being so small is mentioned to emphasize the fact that she is malnourished and to show how all the abuse that she has endured is stunting her growth. I also think it’s expected for a teen girl who has been abused both mentally and physically all her life to not really have a backbone.
So true! I didn’t even think about that!
Thanks for this video ❤
You’re so welcome!
Jesmyn Ward is such a poetic black author too, she writes literary fiction (:
I love your spinning bookshelf if you don’t mind me asking where did you get it?
You’re going to love it! Here’s a link! amzn.to/4agHoDC
@@ShawnaciSchroeder thank you 😊
I think you would like The Banned Bookshop of Maggie Banks by Shauna Robinson - small town feels, funny, there's some romance, cozy, and very minimal spice.
The Alchemist is one of my favorites!
You have to start reading Lucinda berry books. Her books are thrillers and her writing is really good. She has a new book coming out soon too.
Omg I love her books so much! I’ve read saving Noah and appetite for innocence so far!
The Invisible Life of Addie Larue is kinda slow but if you stick with it, then you like or even love it.
IRISH & ONE TREE HILL? (im running to read it!)
You’ll love it!
I’m very tempted to get binding 13, I love me some OTH vibes. Do have any recs other OTH vibes for black girlies? I just purchased the brown series I’m looking forward to the fluffy spice. As for an author rec pepper pace has a book called 1954 it’s a cute clean romance that’s out of the box different (I mean all of her books are out the box different, but they’re on the spicy side lol)
I haven’t found one yet, but I’m still on the lookout! I feel like to have a one tree hill vibes type of book the friendships & relationships have to be the center and it has to give cozy vibes which can be hard to replicate! But I hope I find one soon!
I’ve noticed that the books with the cutest cartoon covers tend to be the ones with the most spice. 🤷🏽♀️
So true!!
Shawnaci I still have no idea how you filmed that Made for Me video in Barnes by yourself. 😂
Hahahaah honestly I don’t either 💀
Hi! I really enjoyed this video! You and your friend Taylor are really funny together, does she also have a CZcams channel? Have a good day ❤️🫶🏻⭐️
She doesn’t, but hopefully we can convince her to create one!! 🥰🥰
I’m sending you love❤
Book recommendations: Broken. Not a Halal love story by Fatima Bala. I love it haven’t seen anyone talk about it, it’s written by a Black Muslim woman! Such a good rec as Ramadan is coming up! I don’t see a lot of Muslim representation.
Say less sis! Dropping it in my cart now! It looks so good
Girl it was cute! It had me kicking my feet and giggling 😂
Yes just read the Deal it was great.
I like the Brown Sisters series a lot. But, I don't find them representative of the culture; maybe because they're based in England. Still very good books.
I’m so sorry you got that disheartening comment. I absolutely love your recs! ☺️ I read anything and everything and I love to see what people are reading and what may interest me to read next, no matter the genre. Reading is reading and it is so magical and personal for each person. Keep bringing your positivity and light to the book community it is so needed! 🩷Loved the video! As for Punk 57 I felt the same way. I was like, do you two like each other or not, the entire book 😂
I really liked Addie LaRue! But it dragged a little in the middle for me and felt like it could've been shorter. But arguably that complements the book's plot/theme lol.
While I love the reading community it definetly has its toxicities, book snobs being one of them. I'll never understand why people feel the need to look down upon those who enjoy popular "Booktok" books. Wish the snobs would just be happy that people are just reading period. Like hey Im not a fan of colleen hoover or the acotar series but that doesn't mean that a person whose read them doesn't have other book recs that I'll love. If Reading Rainbow only talked about classics it wouldn't have ran as long as it did.
You’re so right! I feel like many of us connect with the books we read based on our life experiences! Since we all have different life experiences, of course we’ll enjoy different books!
Loving those dresses on you.
Thank you!!
Hey beautiful lady❤❤ why do people leave comments or watch a channel that talks about books or genres they aren't into? Then they have the nerve to talk to you negatively about what you love, they love what they love and thats OK Noone cares lol, anyway keep the reviews coming lady. I love whatever you talk about. If it was a review about Banes food I would watch it lol 😊
Oh yes we need a Bane video! 😂❤
I'm dying at this person's ridiculous comment. First, if they watch you, they know your taste so why comment that... Also, yeah, it's their issue. If they are that pretentious to not try anything else, bye 👋. You are amazing and the fact that there are such negative people makes me so frustrated.
Thank you so much 😭😭
yes I agree! that's why I'm here because we have similar taste in books. Why would I go buy waste money for horror for example that I initially didn't like. I'm saying that people have different tastes in genres.
Talia Hibbert is an icon (;
Truly!
@@ShawnaciSchroeder 💜💜
Long videos!! I would watch you talk to a brick wall 😂
Im begging for you to read the addicted series by Krista and Becca Ritchie 😭😭😭
So glad you like Binding 13! I still need to read it 😂. Allie Hazelwood does the tiny thing too. Book genre haters are the worst!!! A book is a book is a book...it has words than, it's worthy to be read. Someone out there might enjoy it. No one's making that person read romance so just shut your mouth!!!! So dumb...thanks for sharing. I ❤ long and short. 😊 📚
so off topic but your friend looks like maddie ziegler and i had to do a double take lol
Prefer long videos. We can always split it up and watch it in pieces. 💜
Would you be interested in making a book rec episode on your podcast. I enjoy listening to your pod on the go but I live for book recs.
Brooklyn by Tracy Brown is a good book.
Sahwnttasmth you too love you too love you too love you book 📚 see gat ❤ you
Maybe say "Like" a few less times.
you have the CUTEST friends!!!🥹 im always so excited to watch your vlogs because your friends + your energy is just the absolutely adorable-est 🩷🫶
Thank you so much!!
Eeek! I didnt know we're getting a MPU show! The way I want booktuber @convertingtoboks to be cast as Magnolia!!
No but actually!!! She would be PERFECT!!
