I read B&B earlier this year and i absolutely loved it. It's a silly goofy time, and sometimes that all I need from a book.

[@shelbyiswhere]

I don’t usually comment but just wanted to thank you for your videos and presence on CZcams. I’ve had bad anxiety lately that makes it hard for me to relax in the evenings after work, so I’ve been bingeing your videos. You’re a gem. 🤍

[@cat.book.nook.]

Same! I have a lot of anxiety and the videos help.

[@leone7667]

@@cat.book.nook. Agreed 💙

[@isirlasplace91]

I read 3 volumes of The Promised Neverland, my favourite manga so you know that was a good month😂🐦‍⬛

[@hallewhy]

Love Butcher and Blackbird!

[@sophiacruz7266]

Now I’m intrigued to read Butcher & Blackbird 🐦‍⬛

[@chocolateoreo6489]

I’m sending you love and much better health in the foreseeable future!

LETSSSS GOOOOOOOO WE LOVE U MELLLLLL KEEP IT UP WE LOVE THESE MEL VIBEZ

[@BooksWithJudy]

Still need to read the Fake Mate and Butcher & Blackbird, but I will.

[@catiedubya]

In case you haven't heard about it yet, Dr Kathleen Martinez is a woman who has become the first person to even come close to finding Cleopatras tomb! It's so cool and she's planning another expedition to keep searching for it soon!

[@nknutson780]

I like b&b but leather & lark I loved more, I love fake dating ❤ 🦜

[@shawnahawthorn2658]

I was on the fence about whether or not to read "what the river knows". Now that I know it's about cleopatra and the search for her tomb, I'm adding it to my reading list. I can't wait now

[@mighty_scrap]

I'd really like a video about Mangas. Where to start? What it's all about? I'm intrigued but never give much attention to this genre

[@kristyfolsom3218]

Oh, my! Jennifer Lynn Barnes duology of debutants! First book is Little White Lies. Totally Gilmore Girls and Bridgerton vibes!

[@chocolateoreo6489]

Ooh your coffee looks splendid, what type of coffee is your favorite bestie Mel?❤

[@jackiesliterarycorner]

I have recently considered the Bridgeton books, but I her so many things that make me less inclined to read.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I want to read Butcher & Blackbird so badly 😤

[@poetrybysuhashani__]

thoroughly enjoy your wrap-ups! 🌻

[@pkmadsen2850]

🐦My favorite of my May reads was an anticipated new release, A Gentleman in Search of a Wife by Grace Burrows. 5th in the Lord Julian regency-set historical mysteries. The books are under 300 pages. I really enjoy the main character, Lord Julian, who was a prisoner of war in the Napoleonic Wars and returns to England with physical and emotional damage and the (incorrect) reputation of being a traitor to his country.

[@FantasyCarats]

the bridgerton book is at least still better compared to the drama. Have watched the S3 pt 1 & 2(just released). Still prefer books at least.

[@Essenceofme]

I added a couple to my list.🐦‍⬛

[@Lavendersnook]

Off topic, but I love your nails❤️
