The jumpscare of seeing both uncle jake and travis on your wall. Whatever that means, I'm praying for you girlie 😭
lmao
I feel like it’s her shrine for evil men
this is correct, I keep forgetting to reprint alex volkov but he's there in spirit
First thing I noticed 😂
“Some people haven’t read enough fanfic and it shows.” May be one of the best quotes of all time 😂
Came here to say this 😂
this is my favourite quote, maybe ever.
Do you have the timer please ??
lexi i fear you are the only person ever to possess the art form, the skill, the TALENT to articulate your thoughts so well AND be so chronically online funny MUCH APPRECIATED
45 minute video? a little evening treat? FOR ME??
Been scrolling aimlessly reqatching videos I've seen 100 times before, thank you for breaking that cycle.
real
Same! Finally we got our fix ✨
Me the past 2 weeks lol
constantly impressed with people reading more in a month than i have in six months, but i am FINALLY out of my years long reading slump & videos like these are finally restocking my TBR - so exciting !!!!!
💅 proud of u bestie - never everrrr feel pressure please from me!!! however you are able to fit books in the margins of your life is wonderful & something to celebrate ~
You should do a video with all of your "best slow burn" recommendations
Yes!! 🙌🏻
Was just about to comment this! I need recommendations so bad!!!
YES!
yes!!!
u are quite literally the only youtuber whose sponsorships i will gladly watch
Same 😂 usually I just skip but the smooth transition into the sponsorship is always top tier
I was just thinking about this. So real!
The way that One For My Enemy is still such a fav but I also agree with every single thing you said :''''')
HAHA i am so sorry cari i wanted to love it so badly 😭 i fully can see why you enjoyed it though a lot of the characters were really really charming
bed rotting after a positively tiring day with friends at the pool and then being surprised with the superior notification that is lexi talking for approximatively one hour may be heavenly bliss but thats just me
This comment is so thoroughly explained I can feel your exhaustion lol

I'm absolutely stuck in the traps of a chronic slump. Your monthly reading check in remind me that I actually enjoy reading lol
It is so admirable how many books you can read, I wanna read like you do because I love reading but I feel that I am in a constant slump. I love your videos so much and you have gotten me out of so many reading slumps.
keep in mind that i read a lot for this channel so i have more time & opportunity than most people do - it's totally ok to be in a reading slump sometimes or to have other things going on in your life than books!! reading is supposed to be fun, not something that you force yourself to do - just keep picking up the books that you really in your heart of hearts want to read and know that however much you're able to get through you're killing it
@@newlynovaAhh thank you! I really appreciate the reply :) I have been reading books lately that are fun for me and have been flying through them, a lot of the books I have loved have been books I picked up from your videos so I appreciate that!
Lexi referring to being on her channel/watching her videos as a "rodeo" is hilariously accurate
I'm practically BEGGING you to read the All For The Game trilogy. It reads like fanfiction (in the best way) but it's an original work and I'm kind of obsessed with it??? It's just iconic, through and through😌
aftg is so insane but i love it 😭 so excited for the next sunshine court book
"I just like it when things happen in the books that I read" real
i’m SAT, i will watch ANYTHING you post okay lexi😭😔
While I love when your videos add books to my TBR, I am equally if not more excited when your reviews help back up my choice to take a book OFF my TBR! Truly out here serving the girlies what we need
i wont lie when i got this notif i was crying cause i got a bad haircut and i look like joan of arc bcos of it and now my day is much better because of u
Joan of arc was a badass, you probably look badass too!
cosign this comment, set the trend bestie ✨ it's all about confidence
@@theojjuiceisloose stop ur too sweet ty!!
@@newlynova ur so right
the spirit bares its teeth is my favorite book of all time. i'm non-binary and a late diagnosed autistic person and i have literally never seen more of myself in a character.
Omg I’m also nb and late diagnosed autistic. It’s so fun to meet others of us in the wild
i have it borrowed rn!! soon as i finish my current book im going to read it-hell followed with us is probably one of my favorite books ever :) im so glad you felt seen with the book
i read hell followed with us and loved it dearly and was considering this one, guess i gotta read it
My queer bookclub is reading this next and now I'm even more hype as an autistic nb!
@@annamurray5482 make sure to self care through it. It is heavy. But if you can handle it, it’s worth it.
Holding the breath I knew I was holding waiting for the video essay on Den of Vipers. It will feed me and clothe me and pay my debts.
the near eloquent descriptors of each book you’ve read whenever you make these videos just … fills my soul with a sense of glee that can only be found in the magic spell-casting systems of fantasy genres. the content you bring to the table has been very inspiring! thank u for bringing us out of the dreaded reading slump 💖🫂📚
Queen I finally took your recommendation for Seven Days in June and have been absolutely eating it up so I just wanted to thank you you’ve never steered me wrong☝🏻😌 it’s incredible:’)))))))
i am SO GLAD you loved it
ive been rewatching your whole channel lately and now i cant stop describing things as "the best to ever do it"
The continuity of Lexi being a Knock Thrice fan is chef's kiss. I love my Mothman crewneck too!
i LOVE knock thrice 😭
@newlynova Me too!! Seeing their stuff pop up in your videos always feels like a delightful easter egg ✨️
i love how excited i was to see this video in my feed despite the fact that i am an avid stalker of your goodreads as a person who is both nosy and never been steered wrong by your recommendations
I love to hear about a good neurospicy-coded protagonist who is actually well-written and relatable.
There’s been some interesting convos online about how true The Many Lives of Mama Love is
I definitely don’t believe that she was just able to overcome the jail gang leader with sage advice to become “Mama Love”. It was incredibly convenient and cheesy
lexi i just wanted to comment and share with you that i read “notes on an execution” in may, it was a rec i got from your channel and WOW was it amazing. the details and ties throughout the story are so good. i loved the different perspectives from all the women in his life as well along with the choice to tell the story in second person. this story was disturbing and insightful and also so sad, i cried at the end. a book ill truly never forget. so thanks for your recommendation!! ❤❤
🫶🫶🫶 i am so glad you loved it :)
day one million of asking lexi to read my favourite book (out on a limb) 😣 it's carrying the rights of the pregnancy trope on its back i fear
YES YES YES I SECOND THIS
this is on my radar for sure but i am nervous hahahaha
@@newlynova read the first 4 chapters and if you aren’t hooked by then you can say I told you so
@@newlynovaI Will be so sad if Lexi doesn’t like it. I think about this book so often ❤ it’s a cinnamon roll of a book
you have taught me that i should get into reading even if only for the ✨PRISTINE✨ wall decor
Only creator I trust with book recs!!! So happy to see this pop up on my feed you have no idea☺️
Slow burn romance books with yearning are my favorites of all time-!!! Your takes have never failed me before I hope you can make a video specific to that genre one of these days 🥹💖
the smooth hilarious transition into the sponsorship DHSOSIFJD the ONLY type of non skippable ADS i want!!!
half a soul was such a little treat for me when I read it, love that u obviously enjoyed it LMAO
When I tell you Lexi always knows when I need her to post a banger video
i read the spirit bares its teeth this month because it was in your tbr video for june and oh my god. i couldn’t put it down, soooo good
been binging a lot of booktube content for the very first time, and your channel is my absolute favorite. I wish there was more content but perhaps that is why every video of yours is an absolute banger.
🫶 thank you my friend, happy to have you here ~
The sun setting in Lexi’s videos feels so canon to me at this point
It makes me so happy to see The Spirit Bares its Teeth in your video, it’s one of my favourite books and I never see it here on booktube. And what a great review too! It captured exactly what I loved about it and made me emotional all over again ❤
0:46 i appreciate it that you don’t say what’s exactly in the books you talk about. unlike booktok where people basically reveal the entire plot to get you to read the book which makes absolutely no sense. THANK YOU!!
i hate it when booktok reveals there being plot twists in books in an attempt to get you to read the book. like what? that plot twist isn’t going to hit the same now that they told us it was going to happen?? again makes so sense
I was literally thinking which episode of yours should I rewatch and potentially add some books I'm in the mood for in my already ginormous TBR when you posted!
Yay! Been excited for this wrap up
Literally the only book CZcamsr that I watch and I love watching every video that comes out.
we’ve been blessed!!! i was watching through your back catalog when this came up. thanks for this great video! 💖
Another amazing video! I really enjoy the way you are able to articulate the fact that you can read a book and have conflicting opinions on its contents. I also think your take on relating a readers own experiences to the complexities of dual traumas in The Spirit Bares its Teeth was really beautiful. Hope you are well ❤😊
LEXI'S BACK I'M SO EXCITED!!!
“I mostly went with things that were comforting and fun.”
-cut to Den of Vipers
lmao
LMFAOOOOO stop with the exclusion of that vlog obviously hahahaha
I’ve been struggling looking for something to listen to. This was necessary and right on time.
The joy I felt when I saw your video it cannot be described into words so imagine that gif of the kitten jumping up and down. Also thank you for making reading so fun and so like lighthearted for a lack of better words.
I was rewatching your videos bc I have been waiting so desperately for a new one …there it is.
watching your videos is my favorite time of the month
Yes a newlynova video is the best thing to wake up to!!
Thank god, I’m not in a slump but you’re the only one who has the same taste as me and can recommend stuff that isn’t harrowing to get through thank youuu
so glad to see you're well! you're def my fav bookyoutuber and watching your wrapups singlehandedly made me excited to start reading recreationally again! was so happy to see this pop up on my recommended right in time for dinner lol
I found your channel two days ago, and I am sorry to say this, but you are my new hyperfixation! I've already watched all of your CZcams videos, and I'm now watching all of your tiktoks! The way you talk and explain things is amazing!
You are so incredibly well-spoken and I greatly appreciate how you don’t shy away from important topics. Thank you for your videos!!
saved this video for my day off so i can watch it in one sitting 😂 always so excited to see your name pop up my notif ❤
also, i read half a soul during my train ride from montreal. i was giggling and smiling the whole time!
yay!!!! i was literally just scrolling on your page catching up on your other videos!
omg so many books I‘m interested in, so excited to hear your opinion on them!!!
Genuinely just got out of a reading slump, so happy to see that you've posted!! Can't wait to add stuff to my TBR! Your videos really inspire me to get back into reading!
new fav booktuber
I love how you articulate your thoughts, with eloquence and wit❤
I stopped reading wall of Winnipeg and me when she described the man as “big” in about 1600 different ways 1600 times in the first few chapters
SOOOOO excited for AJW’s next book! Currently re-reading The Sprit Bares Its Teeth and I love it even more this time around
the only youtuber with the power to make the ad read as good and interesting as the rest of the video!!
I love everything you put on the internet ❤️
this is my treat 🥹
Your hair looks really good!
i saved the last part of the video to watch at the right time, and it hit just the way i needed to. nobody i know has read The Spirit Bares Its Teeth, and so hearing you talk about it in such an insightful way mirrored exactly my feelings on it. it felt like letting go of a breath, 10/10 now i know peace
so ready for this video
Your videos are always the best ones 💕
the last binding trilogy is a top tier historical romance with magic 10/10 would recommend
The self control that I displayed by waiting forty eight hours to watch a Lexi video (so that I could have it as a little birthday treat) is stronger than anything before seen, and I think I deserve some applause.
The legend is back! I've just recently been rewatching all your videos and I've had withdrawals since I caught up
Loooove these videos!!! Also your hair is beautiful! ❤
I cannot tell you how much I needed this today! Hope you're taking care of yourself 💚💖
i dont think u could ever understand how much i absolutely love your long videos about books i will never get around to reading, i eat up every single second of ur videos, they bring me so SO much entertainment i am so glad you do this
your videos are always the highlight of my day fr, i could listen to you talk abt books forever
Loved half a soul and ten thousand stitches so much!! They finally got me out of a reading slump and I could totally see them become comfort books🥰
i read hell followed with us earlier this year and loved it. i’ve been wanting to read the spirit bares it’s teeth, but i was scared i wouldn’t like it as much. its cutting to the front of the tbr. you’ve charmed me.
Opening CZcams and seeing a new video from you made my day🎉
On a serious note, you are my favorite CZcamsr because you give voice to feelings that are so hard to actually talk about especially regarding neurodivergeny. Keep going, rockstar❤
yippeee my birthday week just ended and this vid made it even better thank uuuu
the way i jumped out of my seat for this notification! you're the best, tysm for bringing joy to my seasonal depression era.
Was just binge watching some of your content earlier and sad that I ran out of recent videos, this is fantastic timing!
I also read Half A Soul in May, and really, truly agree with everything you said. I had a huge reading slump in June, but can't wait to read the rest of the series.
New lexi video! Such a treat!
Ive been rewatching old videos of yours and the vueei where yiu force yourself out of that reading slump pushed me to grab a book and start making time for reading again!
🫶 proud of you
I love the vibes of these videos, they’re always so chill. Anyway I need to check out half a soul now lol
Yay!! New Lexi video! 🎉 I always love to watch/listen to your videos while I'm straightening my hair so I'm not bored out of my mind 😅😂 Usually by the time your video finishes up, I'm done as well lmaoo
Nothing better than getting out of work after a long day, and finding out that Lexi has posted a new video ❤❤❤ best day ever!
I'd admired your deep understanding of every book that you read... your comprehension skill is amazing...i need to keep studying so that someday i will reach your level of proficiency
Lexi does it again - makes my TBR longer than it was before and I am forever thankful for that. Thank you, wise sensei.
I appreciate you actually critiquing these, even the ones you liked. It doesn't sound mean to be objective about the writing. I love those wrap ups and reviews, i feel like i can trust your ratings☺️
The hair is slaying as usual ❤
you've been the only person on this godforsaken website that just constantly puts out high quality content that i enjoy no matter what it's about AND you're hilarious??? like you could post a review of a high school mathematics textbook and i'd still eat it up
OMG! I just read Longshadow! I'll have to be sure to check out the rest of the series ❤
Great video! Also your hair looks amazing :)
Lexi posted✨✨✨ finally my life has meaning again✨
babe wake up new newlynova video just dropped
stopped watching yt for a bit and now i have february to june wrap ups to catch up to !! i haven't touched a book in 2 months but your videos might just give me a little push :)
