Alexaaaa I'm soo freakin happy that you loved reading better than the movies😭😭 Alsoo there's a sequel to it coming soon called "nothing like the movies" which follows their journey in COLLEGEE!!!!😭💗
OMG YES!! Im so excited 🥹🍿💘
The QUEEN has posted! She has been spoiling us lately! Cinder was really popular when it came out and is less popular now but SO GOOD!
i read cinder when it first came out and in the decade of reading since, no books have topped this series. seriously more people need to get into it!!
@@skyethorne4568 Definitely!
I agree !!
Binding 13 definitely worth the hype for me. I can’t stop rereading. I feel such an intense connection to all the characters!
Same!! I can’t get over it
I SWEAR you always post right when I’m looking for a nice cozy vid!
Hey Alexa I really miss your book wrap up videos sm! And you need to start the boys of Tomman series soon because it’s like the addicated series when it comes to falling in love with the world and the characters and it’s pretty much a character study, also with some heartbreaking events but such a happy ending with keeping 13 I’m in love with it sm! Favorite series ever and I really think your gonna love this series so much and the world and the characters especially and Jonny and Shannon ❤❤❤❤
You know what book you need to read, Picking Daisies on Sunday by Liana Cincotti. It’s such a cute closed door romance! Absolutely loved it 🥰
You always post at the perfect time 😭always when I don’t feel good ❤but after I Watch the vids I always feel better
this was such a sweet reading vlog
I think that a booktok book that is worth the hype is Binding 13 (first book in the Boys of Tommen series)! 🍿
The queen has arrived but I’m late again 😭😭😭!!! Love you Alexa I wish you and your family are all well and I love your videos 🎀🎀🎀 please take care of yourself ❤❤❤
YAY! i’m excited to watch as always girl!👏🏽💗
I love how honest these reviews were!
I was just bingeing your videos and then you posted🥹 💗
This is what I needed 😭thank you so much for always posting ❤️❤️
I love your content so much! You have no idea how obsessed I am!!!🥰❤️
Awwww ❤❤❤ I love you so much and I really really enjoyed this video!!! I’m really looking forward to reading better than the movies now since you loved it 🥰
Omg yesss I am so so excited for this one!
U look so pretty as always. Thank you for bringing so much joy and comfort through your videos❤
I was literally watching this and praying and hoping Better than the Movies was gonna be the last book you read because it was your 5 star, and it was ☺️ I am so happy you loved it as much as I did. Imo The Boys of Tommen series is so much worth the hype on booktok. I’ve only read Binding 13 and Keeping 13, and absolutely loved them with my whole heart. But be warned they are tough to read, so check trigger warnings.
Binding 13 !!!! Soo beautiful and emotional 🥺💕
Alexaaa your new profile picture looks so so so beautiful and natural and you came so early with this vlog you are my inspiration and I will support you till end🥹🥹💗💗💗✨✨✨
Made it to the end of the video, I didn't know how I would feel about Magnolia parks because it's so widely loved but also some people hate it as well.. definitely worth the hype it was my first 5⭐ read of 2024!:)
butcher and blackbird was definitely worth the hype and it deserves so much more!
I'm so glad you enjoyed better than the movies! Definitely one of my favorite books! Such a great story and I wish more books were like it ❤
Such a good video from our book girlie Alexa great to have your evaluations and genres as well as your opinons.Thanks.❤❤❤
Fragile enchantment is GORGEOUS! 😍
Who is so happy she posted ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤my day is made ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Angel 💗
That’s what you are.. an angel

I feel like I waited so long to read fourth wing since it was so hyped, but I honestly loved it!! I’ve never bridged into fantasy whatsoever, so it was a great entry book!!
My favourite booktok books have been the Shatter Me series and Divine Rivals. ❤
One of my favorite videos to watch ❤️
Now I definitely need to read a tragic enchantment😍 but I’m howling at the way you pronounce Niamh😭🤣
your videos are my favourite notification
I just finished A Fragile Enchantment and I loved it.🥰🥰🥰
Lots of Irish Gaelic names that I loved learning about as well (and loved seeing how those names were Anglicized- Niamh to Neve or Ó Conchobhair to O'Connor).
I just finished this around the same day you did! I love it sooo much I hate that it's done now!
I love your videos so much and I love you so much!! Can you please let me know when you are uploading the Harry Potter book series reading vlog? I love your new profile picture!
Such a fun video idea! I might have to try this one 🤔 ❤
Queen posting aaaa so exaiting ✨💗
If you like Fragile Enchantment, Ten Thousand Stitches by Olivia Atwater is a regency fairytale/Bridgerton-esque story that also has magic stitched into garments!
Omg I really need to read Better Than the Movies!! I kept putting it off because it’s YA and I feel like I don’t connect too much with high school age characters anymore but you have convinced me to give it a shot!
My favorite book that I have gotten from booktok so far is definitely Beach Read by Emily Henry! It is definitely worth the hype - I gave it 5 stars!
i was thinkin about buying cinder how good is it and i enjoy your videos keep up the good work
The boys of Tomen are EVERYTHING 🤩🤩🤩 I just read the prologue for Taming 7 and I was in tears! You really should read Binding 13, I think you’d eat it up!
oh wow, i just finished better than the movies and your video popped up on youtube I agree, better than the movies is a 5-star read!! I really enjoyed it it gave me so many emotions!!
25:38 a "jumpscare" looks like a pricess lol thank you for the awesome video
Niamh is pronounced Neeve - it's an Irish name xx
Say you swear is my recent 5 star read and is definitely worth the read. This book had me crying 😭
Acotar, shadow and bone, the love hypotesy, shatter me series and sooo on
If you haven't read the Lovelight Farms series yet, I have a feeling you'd like it. It's probably my favorite contemporary romance series. The 4th book and final book comes out soon.
Thanks for sharing. Have a nice weekend ❤
I don’t really know if it’s considered a booktok book but I suggest Behind The Net by Stephanie Archer! It was so cute and it reminds me so much of the story you told of how you and Kris met!
I'm glad you enjoyed Better Than The Movies, Alexa! That book's been on my TBR for a while and now I'm prepared for all the feels..... 💜 Oh, and to answer your question: A book that I have read and enjoyed that actually deserves MORE hype is Eliza And Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia.
I’m so happy you loved Better than the movies as much as I did❤️🩹 I read this book about two years ago and I still think about it so much🥹
All the Juliette Cross books in her Stay A Spell series is 5 stars to me❤❤❤❤❤
Queen Alexa never disappoints ❤❤❤❤
Ahhhh better than the movies is my favourite bookkkk everrr ❤❤❤❤
I love these videos ❤
I'm glad you finally read Better than the movies 😂🤭 I love it so much, I'm rereading it right now.
For me the booktok book that was worth the hype was the inheritance games or heartless ❤️
The boys of Tom men books have my heart
The Atlas Six is for me a totaly worth tik tok hype book🥰
acotar for sure is worth the hype
Yay new video ❤❤🎉
omg yayyy new video 💓
six of crows is worth every bit of hype
I loved this video❤
Great vlog 📚☕
Idk if these were very popular on book talk I don't have tiktok so I wouldn't know but I loved The Naturals and A Good Girls Guide To Murder
I rated A Fragile Enchantment 3.5 as well. For a lot of the reasons you mentioned, but a few others as well. I had just come off finishin A Curse for True Love and was hoping for more whimsical fairy tales, but AFE felt... meh. I started liking it around 60% but even then, it just wasn't hitting.
🍿❤
I love binding 13 soooo much
I loved better than the movies. It was a 5 star read for me too. It's my favorite of lynn painters books so far 🙂
Girl, have you read A Thousand Boy Kisses? If not, please do a reaction video cause it’s 🙌🏼🩷☺️ love this video!
First like 🤭 hehe so excited to watch!💕
I just bought better than the movies and I'm so excited to read it!!!
You should try Lynn Painters other YA books. It’s hard to beat Better than the Movies, but the other two are both sooo good and super cute!
Absolutely love your videos
That makes me so happy!! 💛
I loved Better Than The Movies because it made me laugh and smile so much ❤ the 3rd act conflict made me so upset though but it would have been 5 stars for me if it weren’t for that.
🩷🩷🩷 Love Alexa’s vids🫶🏻
Have you read Twin Crowns? I kinda want to read it, but I want your thoughts about it first.
the night circus x
Better than the movies did make you cry and laugh from the deep... my 5 star read ❤
~books mentioned~
Hothouse flower ♣︎
A fragile enchantment ◆
Better than the movies (★★★★★)
You’ve convinced me to read better than the movies 😅😂 ok ok ok I hear you :)
the say it’s found family with the addicted/calloway series but aren’t they just like actually family??
Omg my pretty ladyyyyy❤❤❤
omg you finally read bttm
A lot of people my not agree with this😅but one of my fav books that maybe🤨was not a hyped book 🥳 but definitely one of my favorites 💯 was WILDFIRE 🔥by Hannah Grace ❤ literally has the best story amazing character growth loved to friendships between all the hockey players and Aurora and her bestie not to mention the puppy’s and the book were everything overall an amazing book absolutely recommend 😁
I am in a reading slump, but… let’s hope Better than the movie gets me over it please
If you loved the BETTER THAN THE MOVIES, you should see The Duff. You are going to love it so so so much. BTW: this year Lynn Painter is coming out with the continuation of the movie called Nothing Like the Movies
Your Nails 💅🏻🔥
Hi Alexa her name is actually pronounced like “neev” it’s Irish! I also loved this reading vlog 💗
YAY!!!! 💘💘
OMG I LOVE YOU SM
@@Twix208omg HI ILY
This is the first video that has EVER Made me want to read better than the movies 🥹
Honey, u live in a hockey romance!!!!
She looks like snow white ❤
Boys of Tommen Series ❤❤❤❤
Lo was SO aggravating and annoying in Hothouse Flower!! I just wanted to read about Raisy...
I’ve never been this early.
I haven’t had a 5 star read in literally almost 3 years… at this point I’m starting to doubt if I can even find a 5 star read anymore … and if it’s me, do I not enjoy reading that much anymore or did I just get too picky?
Maybe you’re just picky, cause last year I barely had 5 stars and this year half of the books I’ve read are 5 stars. I do feel like though once the year finishes, I won’t have as many as I think I will. We’ll see
That’s insane that you haven’t had a five star in that long! Maybe if you reread some of your favs it will get better.
you could try picking up favorite books of your favorite authors in case you haven’t tried that yet :)
Acotar
