This Video Ends When I Find My First Five Star Read of 2024
love this!
@@bookpublicityservices tysm!! 💖
Thanks for the suggestions. I will definitely give some of these a try. Another book I would recommend for a reading slump is The One by John Marrs. It has short chapters and each chapter ends on a cliffhanger.
@@teresarollen7425 I’ve never read anything by John Marrs, but I’ve heard a lot of good things! Thanks for the rec, I will definitely add The One to my list!
Started writing comments for every book you mentioned but noticed there's actually a lot more book recommendations than I thought, so just wrote a few instead to avoid making a horribly long comment. The Push sounds disturbing, that happens to some parents - some people are born nasty and the parents can never really connect with them, there's nothing really that can be done. Can't choose your kids just like kids can't choose their parents (to start with). The Kind Worth Killing - Ted and Lily don't sound like particularly likeable characters. Seeing things from the villains point of view can be interesting, but if it's just the basic "I'm sad because my wife is cheating" that's not very deep or intelligent. I'm assuming the twist is Lily is tricking Ted because I don't see why she'd so quickly go along with it. None of This is True - Interesting that you couldn't figure out where the story was heading especially since you read a LOT, that shows that story must be quite original and unpredictable.
@@Vaquix000 Ted and Lily are definitely unlikeable characters but they were so interesting to read about and the story took several turns I wasn’t expecting! None of this is True is definitely one of the most original stories I’ve read in a long time! I thought it was so well done
So after giving Ali Hazelwood her 3rd straight 5 Stars with NOT IN LOVE, I decided to go back and read Love On the Brain & Love Theoretically... LOTB was awful(1 star) and LT was slightly less awful(2 stars) and of course, TLH was a 2 stars also... So moral of the story, AH's first 3 books suck, but her last 3 books are FANTASTIC 🤷🏻♂ The Push is one of my favorites and is GREAT on audio I'd say The Boys of Tommen will get anyone out of a slump... I'm currently on Saving 6 💚
@@Mano-Wan oh wow that’s so funny, Love on the Brain is my favorite of hers and was a 5 star for me 🤣 something about it I just loved and ate it up lol but I would have thought you might like Love Theoretically because I noticed a shift in her writing style in that book, and it feels less like her first 2 books in my opinion. I’m currently in the middle of Not in Love though and I’m enjoying it!! Definitely, Boys of Tommen is one of my all time favorite series! I think the length of the books can be intimidating but they do read quickly once you start them 🫶🏻
Thrillers are great for a slump I'm reading when sleeping girls lie
@@user-pk4gy9ic6c ooh I haven’t heard much about that one! Are you liking it?!
I'm not in a slump, but this is helpful. I just started my Ali Hazelwood journey and would love to pick up novellas!
@@Bougie_Nerd she is one of my favorite authors!! 💖
I hope I do enjoy Midnight Feast since Lucy Foley signed my copy for me and I loved hearing her talk about the book... I just finished Not In Love by Ali Hazelwood and call me crazy but I gave it 5 Stars! I know this book has not being as well received as her other books, but I just connected with this book. That is the 3rd straight 5 Stars book from her... Check & Mate and Bride... Funny how I disliked The Love Hypothesis and didn't plan to read her again, but here I am now loving her writing!
@@Mano-Wan I would have loved to hear her talk about the midnight feast! Maybe I would have enjoyed reading the physical book a little more than the audio. I love this for you!! I’m even more excited to read Not in Love now!
I had to DNF this book i just could not follow it.
@@shanielgray6296 oh no which book?!
I just finished Middle of the Night and really enjoyed it. Definitely a quick read!
@@user-tk4od2ti3b yay I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about that one lately! Excited to pick it up soon!
I hope to see a reading blog with heart bones and the friend zone! ❤
@@CourtKxoxo definitely will try to include those in a video! 🥰
You dont pronounce the G in Monaghan its pronounced like Mona-han the same as the county in Ireland
@@missscorpio7864 ooh good to know thank you!
I loved Same time next summer and hope to read Summer romance in August too.
@@christinayunne I’m enjoying same next time summer but not quite as much as Nora goes off script. I have a good feeling about summer romance though! Hope you enjoy it too!
Not In Love and Alex Approximately are both on my August TBR too. Heart bones and The Friend Zone are both amazing but definitely emotional as well. Middle of The Night I read in July, and it was enjoyable. :)
So glad to hear you enjoyed 3 of the books I’m most excited for on my tbr! Hoping we both enjoy Not in Love and Alex Approximately!
You know what? I am a regular viewer of your RUclips Channel. I have seen all your videos and your content qualities are very good. I learned lots of things from you. Your channel has great quality contents but still it is not delivering its right audiences due to SEO problems. You should focus on your SEO so that You can get a big fanbase. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
nice
I just finished The Naturals series and really enjoyed my time reading and getting to know the characters 🤗 The Friend Zone was my least favorite Abby J. book, but it's still an enjoyable read(3.75) Middle Of The Night was a really good slow burn mystery... I'd put it up there with The Last Time I Lied & Home Before Dark I just started Not In Love and 100 pages in I'm really enjoying it... But I know a lot of the criticism is focused on the 2nd half of the book so we'll see 🤷🏻♂ I bought Heart Bones back when I was in my CoHo Era, but I never got around to it... I'll let your thoughts determine whether I ever pick it up 😁
The last time I lied and Home before dark are my 2 favorites by Riley Sager, so I’m hoping Middle of the Night will be up there with those 2 for me! It’ll be interesting to see how I like a Coho book after not reading her books for a while!
Yes! I also chose Summer Romance, can't wait to start it. The Naturals was pretty good, hopefully you enjoy it! 💫
@@lifewithhermi yay hope we both end up loving Summer Romance!! 💖
ACOTAR, I had never read a book like it, get through the first 150 pages and I think you’ll be hooked! I know 150 is a lot, but the rest of the books are incredible!
@@marissajohnson4289 ah okay that’s good to know bc I always feel discouraged when I can’t get into it right away! I will definitely stick with it once I pick it up again
"Sometimes I Lie", "Middle of the Night" and "Wilder Girls" sound interesting! I don't read much anymore, because as a writer I get worried I subconsciously take ideas without knowing. Inspiration can be good but I don't want to accidentally copy plot points of a story. I remember when I have realized I actually got a small plot point from something I was watching the same year. 3:12 I love the smiley face cowboy shirt! so cute!
@@Vaquix000 that’s such a good point. I feel like from reading so much I do sometimes notice storylines feeling similar to one another. It does sometimes feel like original ideas are few and far between like with shows and movies doing reboots and making sequels just because it’s popular and beloved instead of making something new. I’ve heard music artists also say it’s really hard not to pull from things that they’ve heard previously without meaning to
@@carolinerichards_ I think it's because they're too scared of losing money so they just play it safe and use something that already has a fanbase. They forget they wouldn't have franchises to milk if they were as cowardly with movies in the past, there would be no star wars made in the 70's because they would be too busy remaking and rebooting things from the 40's. They wouldn't have that cash cow if there wasn't brave creators with passion that created it in the 70's. If people stopped seeing these reboots and sequels they would be forced to do something new, but for some reason people just can't get enough of seeing the same thing over and over. I only watch new things because I want to see creative new ideas. If we're in 2050 and there's still batman movies then that is sad, but I wouldn't be surprised. Sorry, bit long!
@@Vaquix000 yeah I definitely think money is the motivation! There are hardcore fans who will keep watching all the reboots but I do think some would prefer to let the classics remain classics and just watch more original things
@@carolinerichards_ "let the classics remain classics" exactly! It shows a lot more respect to a franchise to let them have an ending instead of dragging it out until it stops making money. Breaking bad for example could have just kept going since it was making a lot of money, but the creator chose art over money and ended the story and it's still remembered fondly because of that, meaning more people will be interested in his future shows. So it shows that spending more focus on the art is a better way of making money anyway.
@@Vaquix000 definitely agree breaking bad had one of the best endings ever and is a perfect example of a show that did have a spin off but it was really well done and relevant
I have to renew my San Diego Card every year(have to go into the library to do this) LESS was a bit of a let down for me... It was OK(3.5)
That seems so often to me! I swear when I was younger it used to only be every 5 years or something you had to renew your card. Did you read the 2nd book in the Less series?
@@carolinerichards_ I have not read the 2nd LESS book, I'm sure at some point I will give it a try
Currently reading now and needed to take a break to watching some yt videos about the book!
Yay how are you liking it so far?!
so many books here i need to get to asap!!! <3
@@jordaanpaiigereads yay I hope you enjoy!!! 🫶🏻
In terms of prose and how the words flow across the page, what author do you like the most?
@@thomasmcfadden6149 definitely Sally Rooney! She has a really unique writing style. She doesn’t use quotation marks around any of her characters dialogue and it take a little getting used to, but I think it makes the story feel more real and immersive and I love how it flows
Just for the summer is also my favorite book I've read this year! It was just so so good.
@@rebeccaelizabethreads yay it was soo good! I think it’s going to be on so many people’s favorite book lists this year!
I have only read the first two books in the A Court of Thorns and Roses series so far, but they are so good....especially the second one A Court of Mist and Fury.
@@teresarollen7425 I’ve heard from so many people that their favorite in the series is book 2! I can’t wait to read the whole series!
omg would you be open to sharing your bj & magnolia playlist? i would love to listen to it while i read the books 😋
@@sarazur244 yes absolutely!! here is the link, hope you enjoy reading and listening 🥰 music.apple.com/us/playlist/magnolia-bj/pl.u-76oNkmNTxqy2yV
Best Book is hard... Loved Ruthless Vows, Bride, The Book of Doors, The Unmaking of June Farrow, Binding & Keeping 13, Guncle Abroad, All the Sinners Bleed, Just For the Summer, Strange Sally Diamond 🤷🏻♂
You have a few on your list I haven’t heard of so I will definitely have to check them all out!
Ohh im currently reading None of this is true and i just fly through it, im really at the edge of my seat lol 😁 Im glad to hear that you liked it!!
@@itsjoyandrea yess I was the same way while reading!! hope you love it as much as I did!
Hey, just a bit confused on why my comment on the last video wasn't liked/replied to and the other ones were. My guess is this part "Would be nice to know someone like you to ask about my own stories since you'd give great feedback whether it's positive or negative. Do you write?" Maybe it's because you'd think I'd keep trying to ask for feedback on my stories? Not sure. Wasn't really the intent though, was curious if you like to write yourself
@@Vaquix000 so sorry I missed ya! I was answering comments in between other things and never got back to yours so my apologies. I haven’t really written anything since school, but I do enjoy it a lot! I don’t have much free time so I usually prefer to spend it reading but maybe one day I’ll get back into it
@@carolinerichards_ Oh okay I understand! Yeah, writing can certainly be less relaxing than reading, having to get into all these different character's headspaces can be daunting especially when a character in a really bad place mentally. A cozy kind of story that doesn't have characters like that might be more fun and better vibes for you to write if you wanna get back into writing. My stories deal with a lot of psychological trauma I've noticed. I like my villains to have more depth than say, something like lord of the rings where the bad guys are just simplistic evil and that's that, or like with how they made Voldemort in Harry Potter be some simple racist jerk. I don't recall him having any depth. It's the villains that have some decency, where you can see parts of yourself in them that are the scariest to me, not villains that just love to be evil or do a silly evil laugh or something. Sorry, bit long lol
@@Vaquix000 yeah if I wrote something it would definitely be a romance or something on the lighter side. That’s definitely interesting to explore with your villain characters. Good luck with your writing!
@@carolinerichards_ Thanks!
Disappointed to hear your thoughts about Butcher & Blackbird, I brought that with me to SoCaL to read on vacation 🤷🏻♂ None Of This Is True was a 4.5 for me... Glad you enjoyed
@@Mano-Wan I definitely have an unpopular opinion on Butcher and Blackbird, so I hope you enjoy it more than me!!
Such a fun July Tbr 🏖
excited for more summer reading 🤗☀️
I love watching these, love to hear your opinions and your nice vibes! Would be nice to know someone like you to ask about my own stories since you'd give great feedback whether it's positive or negative. Do you write? Also, pink looks really cute on you! You really look a lot like hayden panettiere!
Well you know everyone is going to love the second book after Powerless, because all the GIRLIES who loved Powerless will have nothing but good things to say... They're BRAINWASHED because Sara, Destiny, & Haley told them it was good 🤣 I even hate that she copied the Chestnut Springs titles! I'm guessing her next book after Reckless will be called Heartless 😆 And you may as well read it because it BARELY fantasy... There's no world building... It's a ROMANCE(a juvenile one) with some stolen fantasy elements from other books like Hunger Games, Red Queen, etc. OK... I'm done. LoL. I swear, no book has ever brought out the HATE in me more than Powerless... I don't get it at all... Objectively, it's not good 👎🏽 I was hoping you would pick The Girl in 6E... This is a book that has lived rent free in my head... I only gave it 3.75 stars, but I did read it twice... I loved the whole CAM girl aspect but the thriller/mystery aspect was a bit weak, so curious to hear your thoughts
i love ur honesty lol!! i have been thinking this for so long but nobody ever said this „out loud“ so i’m happy read a shared opinion haha. i honestly agree even tho i haven’t read powerless (yet), i just think that sara specifically almost only reads (or better: mostly only enjoys lolol) books that have a heavy romance plot which is fine totally but ever since i realized that i kind of stopped reading what sara recommends 😅🤣 i love haley phams recommendations tho she reads many different genres 😊 ofc everyone can read whatever they like i‘m not hating at all!!! 🥰
Okay I was thinking the same thing about how her titles are the same as chestnut springs and it bothers me lol 😂 we will see if I end up getting to it this month 😅 I am really interested in reading the girl in 6E bc the premise sounds so interesting! Definitely feel like I’ll be more inclined to pick it up in the fall
Paper Palace has a cheating storyline, just in case that isn’t your thing.
Thanks for the heads up!!
You look just like Brooklyn and Bailey on RUclips that’s so cool
Oh my gosh thank you!!
Ik CoHo is controversial and her writing is decent but I really enjoyed reading Heart Bones. It was a really good comfort book that cleansed my pallet 😂 and it made me tear up a little bit
I’m glad to hear something positive about one of her books haha I do think this will be a good palette cleanser for summer!!
Yes for Happy Ever After Playlist! The best one in this interconnected series. I really enjoyed Friend Zone, and its absolutely essential to read it before reading book 2.
Okay good to know I will definitely be reading the friend zone first! I’m so excited for book 2 bc everyone says it’s their favorite of the series 🤗
@@carolinerichards_ its the best of the 3 in that series :) But they are all good !
Even though I'm not that into the romance genre I find your reviews on them very interesting! Also, cute shirt and earrings! You always have a great style!
thank you so much!! I appreciate you watching!
why there is so many harry STYLES fanfiction turnd into books and movies but no zayn
i’m both a Harry and zayn girl and I completely agree!! some parts of Hayes character in the book did remind me of zayn though when it came to his dynamic with the band
Your reading time is impressive! I can only do 3 hours at most, my eyeballs get tired. I dislike when romance happens too quickly and unnaturally too. Reminds me of Harry Potter and Ginny (if you've read any of the Harry Potter books) where the heck did that come from? Oh darn you're married! Your husband's a very lucky man! I saw him on your instagram and he has very kind eyes so I'm sure you're lucky too. Have a great anniversary! Cute cat by the way!
Audiobooks are the best for consuming books for longer periods of time!! And for when your eyes get tired. 100%, I also felt like Ron and Hermione was unexpected bc I thought it was setting up Harry and Hermione’s relationship when I first read the series! Thank you!! 🙏🏻
@@carolinerichards_ Yeah, I thought that Hermione and Ron felt pretty random too! They should have had some hints about it, there was more hints about Harry and Hermione so it wouldn't have felt as random if Harry and Hermione got together.
I’ve read most of the books that you listed in this video and you describe the books in such an intelligent way!
that is so kind of you to say, thank you so much!! 🫶🏻
Funny Story was my favorite book I read in May!! So glad you liked Beartown. I really want to read Just For the Summer, everyone has been loving it! 😍
Yay so glad you loved Funny Story too!! I highly recommend reading Just for the Summer, I hope you love it whenever you do pick it up!! 🫶🏻
@@carolinerichards_ it was so so good!! And thank you, I’m excited to read it! Although I also want to read Yours Truly, maybe I’ll do it in the proper order haha
@@LibrariesandLattes yes I recommend reading Part of Your World and Yours Truly first for some of the character crossovers to make more sense! All 3 books are perfect for summer too 😊
@@carolinerichards_ I’ve read Part of Your World and really liked it!! But yeah that’s good to know about the order and that they’re all summery 😍
@@LibrariesandLattes ah perfect, I think the series gets even better after the first book! Can’t wait to hear what you think when you read them!!
I remember in your last comment you saying you need to branch out more, I also need to it would probably do some good for me as a writer. If I read a non-fantasy book for example, about five chapters in I'm just like "I really like these characters and all but isn't it about time for a fight against a giant monster on top of a flying train?" But at the same time, if a story is ONLY filled with crazy stuff like that then I don't have time to get to know the characters and can't be fully invested if I don't even know the people that are in danger. Seeing the characters in just ordinary life or humorous situations can really show more about who the characters really are, so I make sure to include that but reading other genres may help me to do that better. I'm about as romantic as a brick so my opinions on romance novels don't mean much, however hearing your enthusiasm for "just for the summer" got me thinking this may be one of those books that help me out with character building moments and dealing with complicated emotional issues. Also, love your top!
Yeah, I definitely think people have preferences on whether they prefer a character driven story or a plot driven story, but I’m very much a character person! If I don’t connect with the characters then I usually end up not enjoying the book overall. I think the romance genre is great for seeing characters in situations like the ones you mentioned! Tysm!!
@@carolinerichards_ " If I don’t connect with the characters then I usually end up not enjoying the book overall." I'm the same way, doesn't matter what the plot is to me if all the characters are boring or unlikeable. " I think the romance genre is great for seeing characters in situations like the ones you mentioned! Tysm!!" Thanks for the suggestion!
Really enjoyed FUNNY STORY(4.5) 🤗 Beartown is one of my FAVz(5.0)... I loved the 2nd book because it has a strong LGBTQ focus as someone who was a closeted athlete myself... All 3 books were AMAZING 💙 LOVED Just For the Summer(5.0)... Two of my friends thought it was too much trauma 🤷🏻♂ But I ate it all up and nobody does banter and pet names better than Abby 🥰 I just read The Unmaking of June Farrow and it was a 5 star read and in the running for my favorite book of the year 😌
If the 2nd book in the Beartown trilogy is who I think it’s about then I need to pick it up asap bc they were by far my favorite character!! I feel like the trauma in Just for the Summer made the characters and story more interesting, and I loved it too! Ooh I’m intrigued to pick up the Unmaking of June Farrow! I’ve heard a lot of people talking about that book this year 😊
This is so fun! And i love the purple theme
thank you so much! 💜🫶🏻
i was gifted one true loves for christmas and i still haven’t read it, but i think this is my sign now !!
yes 100%!! It was one of my favorite books that I read last year!
I just read The Friend Zone...I loved it!
Yay I’m glad to hear a good review for it!! Excited to read it this month!
Sounds like a good tbr :) Also love the outfit! The matching top, nails, earrings perfect.
aw thank you so much!! 🥰💜
This color is everything on you, and this fit is such a slay!
tysm!!! 💜🫶🏻
I loved The Friend Zone. I also love everything Carley Fortune. Her first and last book are definitely the best, Meet Me At The Lake was okay in my opinion, nothing amazing, but nothing really terrible either. I think I gave it 3/5.
Good to know you didn’t strongly dislike Meet Me at the Lake, I see so many 1 and 2 star reviews! I’m excited to get to her newest release since I’ve heard much better things
