Rose I hope you are well?? I miss your video so much!!

I love this so much. I love watching people's TBR videos, but I am such a mood reader that if I make a typical TBR, I end up in a huge reading slump because it might be a good book, but I am not feeling it, so I will not enjoy it. Thanks so much for this video!

Thank you so much, I never got to properly thank you ms.bennett but if it weren't for your creative writing class I would've never found out how much I loved writing. You're class made a huge impact on my life and I really want to go back and visit the class sometime. -Michael, The Horatio kid.

💜💜💜

Thank you both so much. I can't tell you how much I appreciated this video. I am currently trying to sell my mother's home. She's a widow and elderly. She can no longer afford to live here and I am also in the process of trying to get a less expensive and affordable place for her so she has some place to go. I am having an open house tomorrow, which the realtor is letting me stay. I don't trust anyone in my mother's home, alone. My mom's stuff means a lot to her. I just really enjoyed watching this video. And the cookies, I so would love to do that but I am not a baker, I'd probably burn the cookies. Thanks again for this video.

Happy belated birthday

Hope the March reading is going well.

I want to read the Encyclopedia of Fairies! The book is so pretty!❤

When I am down or in a reading slump, I read romcoms. Have a great Spring break!

Hey, just wanted to tell you I enjoy your book videos, hope things get better for you, we all go through tuff times. Books take me places I will only visit in my mind, making March a fantasy month, starting with Brandon Sanderson- Elantris and the one from book of the month a fate inked in blood, just finished heartless hunter, surprisingly good, happy reading

You are the second booktuber I have watched today who said you are having mental health issues. I hope the Spring will help us all to feel better.

The Heather Fawcett series is enchanting! Loved both!

You’re going to love Book Lovers. Hope you have a wonderful spring break.

I liked "Book Lovers," but I just finished "Happy Place." It did not make me happy. I was embarrassed to admit I had read a book that was so crass and stupid.

I’m so glad you’re better and focusing on bringing yourself some joy thru your reading. I decided that I will be participating in Middle grade March this month. Went to the library and just browsing the middle grade books gave me joy. Brought home 7!🙈

What do like to read when you need an emotional boost?

Hi Rose! I recommend Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood for a contemporary romcom. I’m currently reading The Love Hypothesis by the same author and it’s in the same vein (women in STEM). I’ve actually LOLed reading this book! Ali Hazelwood’s writing is witty, funny and cozy.

Hi there. I am reading The Women right now and you will not regret getting it! It is wonderful.😊

Have you ever considered signing up for Aardvark? Its another monthly book box and all of their books have custom colored hard covers. They offered The Tainted Cup and A Love Song for Ricki Wilde as February selections. Also I just read Hello Stranger and really enjoyed it and I'm not even a big rom com reader.

I loved ‘Nora Goes off Script’. I read it around Spring time last year and it was perfect timing! I just finished ‘Better than the Movies’ by Lynn Painter on audio and loved it. It does feature teenagers, but not in a way that I (as a 47 year old) couldn’t get on with the story. It has themes of enemy to love, old loves, grief, change in family structure, friendship. There’s definitely a little bit of a 90s feel to some of it due to the movies mentioned. It’s just such a feel good story..even if it was predictable. I hope the rest of this month is better for you.🙏❤️

I’m glad to see you back again. Hope life is getting a bit easier for you. The “Everyone on the Train…” book sounds good! I read the first in that series and liked it a lot. Didn’t know this second in the series was even coming out!

I like rom coms by Sarah Adams. When in Rome, Practice Makes Perfect are the first two in a series. I also listened to The Cheat Sheet and it made me laugh out loud.

Hi Rose, I am excited that you did choose The Women. It is my first book from my new subscription with BOTM and read it in three days. I just could not put it down, it was so beautifully written, not a moment of slowness. I felt I had gone to war with Frankie, it was that realistic. As I am from Washington, DC, the ending of this book had me in tears. I have experienced many times over the experience you will read about at the wall. Can't wait for your review! Elizabeth

I love a good rom-com! Some of my recent favorites have been Book Lovers and Beach Read (both by Emily Henry), Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez, and Half a Soul by Olivia Attwater. I know you also like fantasy. I loved Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson. It’s whimsical and fun and I cannot recommend it enough! I also just read my first Discworld novel by Terry Pratchett (Guards Guards), and it was wonderful! I can’t wait to read more!

I just finished Book of the Month pick The Second Chance Year by Melissa Wiesner and it was a fun romance with some good life lessons.

The only books that comes to mind would be Rainbow's End by Irene Hannon, River's End and Black Hills And The Witness (both by Nora Roberts), I do hope that you'll read them and enjoy them all, I have read them all and they are excellent books! I plan to reread them all again this year and I can't wait to see them all in your next video, happy reading to ya!

Did you pick up anything you're excited about during the month of February?

I love The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo!

I read a few books this month. I read Under the whispering door. I loved it. I also read The house in the cerulean sea. Both books were amazing.

Hello! I am so happy to see someone close to my age range give their review. You are the same type of reader as I am and get excited getting a new box in the mail. Thank you also for your review of your choices. Elizabeth

What are some of your favorite books with a romantic subplot?

Your unboxing are so much fun, I can feel your excitement and happiness. Have lots of fun 😊

I need to read Razorblade Tears! It’s been on my “want to read” list for over a year.

You always make me smile. And I’m on waitlist for Chain Gang at my library. 😀👍

I love SA Cosby as an author, I’ve read all of his novels except Blacktop Wasteland. My favorite book in January was The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell. Bookworm lady

What was your favorite read from January?

I just watched “American Fiction” for the third time yesterday. Try Percival’s “The Trees” from 2021. It will leave you reeling.

“ Deacon King Kong” was my book club’s favorite book when it came out. James McBride is a treasure and is 100x better than most of the books sitting on lists. I’m working through his catalog.

Just finished Heaven and Earth and absolutely loved it!

I really liked Black Cake and the Coates book-hope you find them both interesting! I did a tandem physical/audio of Homegoing, which I recommend if you can. Lone Women, Maame, Heaven and Earth, Rogue Justice, and Nightcrawling are all on my TBR. We’re very in sync this month!

Good TBR!! I wrote them down for when I’m out of my no-buy. Delayed gratification is not my thing 😅 I am looking forward to finally reading Remarkably Bright Creatures, as well as all the book club reads for Mythology, Mystery and Horror (or whatever they’re called. I’m almost done with Herc.

Good luck with your TBR it looks like a good one.

What are you looking forward to reading this February?

I do try to read the books first. I can't wait to see the puzzles finished. I love to see what you do at home.

It’s fun to see the new puzzles you have. You show and talk about plenty of different books so seeing puzzles is an extra bonus!

When you discover a film has been made from a book, do you try to read the book first or do you go ahead and see the movie without having read the book?

So many good recommendations added to my TBR list. Hope 2024 gives you as good a reading year.

The Wishing game was my favorite of 2023! It spoke to my soul! I read Under the Whispering Door in September 2021 while my best friend was in Hospital dying of Covid... I loved the book and it gave me such comfort. I really need to get to the life we bury. I LOVED this video Rose!

In my book club, we each had our own lists. I picked a favorite book for each month. My overall favorite book of 2023 was "Community Board" by Tara Conklin. It hits all the feels. It's funny and relatable and modern and hopeful. I think I might have loved "Babel" so much that I really was so disappointed in "Yellowface". Loved the "Wishing Game". And, of course, "Lessons in Chemistry" was my favorite book of the year when it came out. And the series was GREAT and stayed true to the book. And it was just one season so it was perfect!
