this is my first video from you and the quality omg AND YOUR VIBES!! i hope this channel can get supersupersuper big and successful, the quality is justt that good. The books you've put in the Six of Crows tier looked so cool!! and hearing you talk about them made me add them all to my tbr list 🏃 ive only read babel from that list, and I've given it 4 stars, not because it wasn't good but because some things were just, really, really repetitive and the character development wasn't really that enjoyable for me, and some things were a bit predictable so I couldn't fully enjoy it. Some of the characters frustrated me...but anyway!! 😁 And as a person that was born and raised in a foreign country, I guess the message wasn't really for me but I understand why it had a bigger impact on other people. I've been on the lookout for people with similar taste and now im never leaving xoxoxo 😁

I don't know if it's popular on TikTok anymore but if you haven't read Lightlark, I think a video of you reacting to it would be highly entertaining

I agree powerless felt so shallow and everyone talks like an npc

please read the spanish love deception. based on this video i think we have similar tastes and i need someone to validate my feelings because christ is it god fucking awful but tiktok ADORES it

I've just finished the second book in the Powerless series and I can officially confirm that the character lacks emotional depth. They don't really seem to deal with many dark emotions and when they do it's always surface level. One of their friends could die and they would take about three seconds to feel somewhat sad and maybe even shed a single tear. I just feel like nothing was fully developed in those books...

NICE a fellow Brit who has similar book tastes to me, very excited to see what you enjoy so I can add it to my TBR😁

Ty for the shoutout and ty for reading The Song of Achilles!! I’m so glad you loved it 🥰🥰

The only one of these books I’ve read is Salem’s Lot. As much as people try to hate on Stephen King, his popularity has endured because he’s written some really good novels.

Jekyll and Hyde slaps and I refuse to be told otherwise

I am new here, so I was delighted to see Six of Crows as a tier on its own. I ADORE this series and Grishaverse in general. Still haven't gotten around to reading The Familiar or The Ninth House though, because I'm a bit afraid I won’t enjoy those as much 😭 We have a similar taste. I read Babel last year and absolutely LOVED it, so it made me happy to see it in the top tier :) And I really enjoyed The Metamorphosis and Crime and Punishment when I read it, they're beloved classics for a reason. On the contrary, Carmilla didn't impress me too much either. I enjoyed the story, but it could have had more substance to it. Or more blood. Great video!! You have a very calming presence and it was fun to watch you rank your reads. Hoping for many nice days out in the second half of the year :)

100% agree on the confusing dialogue! It happens a lot to me when the characters don't have their own unique voices. This also bugs me when authors try to write alternating points of view that all sound like the same person talking.

32°C+ has been kicking all of our asses fr. End of the world upon us already /hj

I’ve only just discovered your channel today but it’s great so I’m listening to your videos while I draw. I was genuinely suprised that you didn’t have at least a thousand subscribers. My top 5 books: - Paradise Lost (John Milton) - Dracula (Bram Stoker) - Dimension of Miracles (Robert Sheckley) - The History of Mr Polly (H.G. Wells) - The First Men in the Moon (H.G. Wells) With an honourable mention to all of Chekhov’s short stories.

My partner was reading a book the other day where one of the main characters was described as having a "thick British accent". What does that even mean?

Stephen Fry is the only audiobook narrator I can listen to, he’s brilliant at voices.

The only time I write love triangles is when they’re not all toxic and they all end up together at the end. I’ve been burned by too many love triangles plot lines that felt like the wrong people ended up together

Yes! Short kings representation! 😭😭

love-triangles have me on a chokehold, tbh. aside from the fact that they're entertaining & angsty af, I like dichotomy and often times I feel like with love-triangles they really help accentuate that aspect between the love-interests.

Agree so hard on literally all of these. The pettier it is the more irritated I get. So glad I found this video, you have such lovely vibes!

I felt for you, I hope you’re better. I’m also watching your vid with eyes running and sneezing ++ I am only on my4th annotated book. I have notice my style changing already. I would like to learn to annotate at a higher level. At the moment I highlight funny quotes, things I want to remember character development. However I work with a teacher who sees so much more in a txt that I do see. I wish I could get to the nitty gritty of the text. For eg why a character says what they say - the real meaning behind the words. Am I making sense?

Welcome to booktube 📚🧋

I really enjoyed reading A Dowry of Blood! It’s basically gothic queer vampires but it’s very traditional and I love how the main original vampire in the book is 100% a horrible person. The main character struggles with her feelings for him but SHE RECOGNIZES THAT HES ACTUAL SHIT AND DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT :D

New subscriber❤ ps is that a Teen Wolf tattoo?

In my opinion, I def feel like the existence of midnight sun takes away the mystery of Edward completely which is one of the things the fanbase loves so much about him and made twilight entertaining

Girly is underrated🫢

i remember reading the leaked version back in the day and i just have a visceral memory of confusion and dislike of the section where jake and bella are reading the script and reacting to it like they're reading midnight sun? felt so much like bad fanfiction lmao it was such a thing to do back then but like ugh i hate it lmao

I haven't watched through the video but omg!! you belong right in the movies as a Vampire. You're gorgeous!

Stealing this idea without any shame 😂 I’ll be happy to suspend my second guessing for a while. P.S. I found your channel yesterday and I’ve been binge-watching. A new subscriber.

I agree with the majority of your points. I rated this book 5 stars, but I’ll admit the last star is mainly for the way it was written/language.

3:19 I use micellar water makeup remover to remove stickers on books. Did you ever try that? It might help 😊

I actually remember reading firelight back in the day! I remember the Nintendo scene so vividly I don’t know why. Anyway what I was gonna say If you’re done w the twilight parody project pls feel free to ignore this but. There’s another twilight parody called Awoken by Serra Elinson which might be up your alley? Its not as directly parodic of twilight and more of a stealth parody of the teen paranormal romance genre tropes of the era but part of the joke is that the love interest is Cthulhu. It’s not as obvious as firelight or new moan & closer to a stealth parody imo. I enjoyed firelight but it’s less like in your face insane, over the top, silly, directly parodying twilight, and more making commentary abt the genre. It’s been a hot sec since I read it but I enjoyed it. (It’s co-written by Lindsey Ellis & Elisa Hansen & a few other ghostwriters I believe). It’s an old project but the videos of their process are still on RUclips too! Anyway feel free to ignore tbe suggestion. This was a nostalgia trip & I’m glad I got recced this in my feed!

Definitely thinking about trying the 10 minute rule. I used to read for hours and now I find it difficult to even pick up a book, so maybe giving myself a smaller goal to work towards will help. My partner has a real problem setting routines (adhd has it's downsides) but we'll see if it works for me.

Thank you for the video. Also, I liked the red highlights in Dracula.

I too loved Ninth House.

This is genius activity. I annotate the books occasionally and keep a reading journal! I never thought of keeping a commonplace journal for books I love this idea 🙏

I LOVED IT SO MUCH!! I HOPE THERE WILL BE SEASON 2

Amazing and great choice of books!

I hope they redo the series true to the book. That would be something I'd enjoy watching.

I saw the title and instantly subscribed 🤣❤️

it was nice to see a commonplace book video about them being for connection and vibes rather than performing so in regards to the call to action haha: I started for a variety of reasons but mostly I had a bit of a hoarding problem so it was an easy way to summarize and get rid of things. Basically I could take a picture of a book and write down my thoughts or quotes about it and then give the book away. Same thing went for my old notes from school after graduation, I didn't want to toss them without getting at least some information from them. So I took notes on my notes and then recycled the original material. I very quickly ended up finding out that they are quite effective for keeping track of liars as well so if anyone is dealing with that just give it a try lol

I too rewatch teen wolf anytime I am feeling shit

Thank you for sacrificing your time this way 😭 I remember the first one being on all the bookshop shelves here for a long time. Whether that was because people were buying it or weren't buying it I'm not sure.. Funnily enough, these parodies give big pick me energy despite that being their main criticism of Twilight. Like the using popular alt music as torture lmao. Great video!

Really enjoying this so far! Very cleverly written as although very different from 'Oiver Twist' u can still really believe they r older versions of their characters! Also excellent performances by all!x

I haven't read it yet, but I've heard great things about Vampires of El Notre for the type of vampire content you seem to want! Gothic, old school, scary vampires. NOT Edward Cullen lol!

I just love the way of ur presentation ♥️ keep going Lady..

The popularity of these books exhaust me. Tropes, plot, genre, whatever, if a person is into what these books do with that, I won't complain, even when I'm not into those parts myself. But how is it nearly a MILLION people (at present) can put up with the *writing* ? What's going on? Seriously. I don't consider myself analytical and I'm not even interested in being so. I just read for fun. But given this, the fact that I STILL pick up on writing issues constantly from Fourth Wing ... it just makes the love surrounding these books so tiring. It screams "unfair to other authors", making me feel defensive of people I've never even heard of.

I've recently started annotating my books and I really enjoy it. I was a little hesitant about annotating at first because I thought that it would be too distracting or that I wouldn't enjoy the book as much, but I find that I'm actually enjoying the book more. I personally don't take it too seriously and I don't try to annotate on every page, I only usually annotate while I'm reading and a thought pops up into my head. Sometimes, the thought is something silly, sometimes the thought is more serious and analytical. Part of the reason I started annotating was because sometimes I get a bit sad thinking about a book I loved and realizing that I can't really remember how I felt or what my thoughts were when I first read it, so annotating is a nice way for me to relive the joy of reading a book for the first time. It's like a little time capsule. Like, in the book that I'm reading today, I guessed a plot point before it was revealed to me, and I both annotated my guess and my reaction to when I first realized that I was right, and that's a nice moment that I would probably have forgotten about in the future had I not preserved it. It's just nice to be able to flip through and look at the mark that I made on my book. I used to try and keep my books in such pristine conditions, it was almost as if they had never been owned, but they're my books that I bought with my own money and they should feel as though they were owned and loved, and that is what annotating is to me. My favorite musical said that soul is buying used books full of marginalia, and that really changed the way I thought about and approached books. Also, I love your coffin bookcase!

I see annotating as communicating with the book😊

5:14 my favourite regular black gel pen to annotate with is the uni-ball Signo in 0.38. It doesn't bleed, it doesn't skip and it allows me to write smaller since books rarely have tons of space to write in. A close second choice is any Zebra Sarasa pen in 0.5. I think I'm close to owning every colour they offer under the sun but that's because I love collecting pens😂

what a lovely video! i just stumbled upon your channel and i think i will stick around! for ink pens i find that muji pens don't bleed through the pages and are my favourite pens for everything :)
