An hour and a half of Jananie?? F the super bowl! ❤️👏🏾👏🏾
🥺🥺❤️❤️
The cross pollination of booktubers and their content >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
A whole feature length special? Yes pls
I'm so glad to hear that you loved as long as the lemon trees grow! That was one of my favorite books of last year. I'm definitely going to have to check out bright young women and I'm a fan ASAP
That book does seem interesting. I wonder what or where do the lemons come in at? What do lemons have to do with the story? If anyone knows, please let me know. 😊
@@mrzmcclendon1069 it's explained in the book 💜
Lemon Trees!!🍋 My favorite book of 2023!
same, it was so sad and beautifully written.
Totally agree re Irregular Wiches in your spoiler section. There was a mention by the house keeper about teaching the kids that aspect too but never resolved.
I really enjoyed Legends and Lattes and The Irregular Witches book. I am looking forward to picking up As Long As the Lemon Trees Grow. Thanks for the vlog.
I'm currently reading Seven Year Slip and the slowness of the first few chapters almost got this book DNF'd, but after watching this video, I will keep going and hope that it picks up for me. Thanks for the review and this video because a lot of the book s you read are actually on my tbr.
im picking up "im a fan" immediately because of this video. i love stories about obsession, AND mixing that with commentary on white feminism from a poc point of view is everything that i need
the Palestinian flag in the back made me so happy! 😭😭🤍🤍
This is amazing!! I love your personality, and input on the books. It’s perfect❤
girl I love your voiceeee you should make audiobooks
Thanks Jananie for introducing me to new Booktubers! I ❤ this video!
I really like this concept!!
None of This Is True was sooo insane!! Loved it!
I am so glad to be in this space. You read a lot of books I’ve been on the fence about and i feel like the commentary you gave confirmed my buys and skips. Thank you so much for this video. ❤
🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
I needed this video!
A couple of these books were already on my TBR and now they’re HIGH UP! Like I’ll pick them up now kind high!
I’m a new subscriber but I throughly enjoyed this an hour and a half reading vlog! ❤️
Loooove Seven Year Slip, The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches & As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow. I didn’t really care for Legends and Lattes or None of This is True. I’m still unsure on how I feel about The Writing Retreat.
I’m definitely going to need to pick up Bright Young Women ASAP!
Thank you for making this video!
Wow the only video I watch that has a good reviews for books 🥰 great ❤
Ahhh this was such a fun vlog and thank you so much for including me in this video! 🥹🥰 even though The Writing Retreat didn’t work for you I’m glad you enjoyed Seven Year Slip!! 👏
This video just made my homework session so much more enjoyable 😌
I’ve heard such good things about the seven year slip 🥹
Aye you closing in on 100K! Pre-congrats 🎉
I loved this video alot. Please make more. Love from Egypt 🇪🇬❤️❤️❤️
Amazing video! Was watching in chunks, it felt like a series I was checking into every time I got to relax 😅
Aww love that 💖 glad it was relaxing!
Thanks for some more books to add to my TBR! 😉
I added the very secret Society of irregular, which is to my TBR because of you. I also really enjoyed legends and lattes.
I've read none of theese, but the only one i'm adding to the 'want to read' is deffinately ginna be "as long as the lemon trees grow" cause of how you described and loved it :)
Omg all of my favorite booktubers in one video 😂
You are absolutely stunning! ♥
I’m sending you love ❤❤❤
Success!! 🙌🏼
You are such a stunning person ❤❤
You're a Buffy fan! I'd love to know about book recs for Buffy fans if anyone has any.
I felt the same way about None of This is True! Literally had such a hard time ever putting it down
Omg I did not know there was a palestinian character in that first book! Loving all the diversity, will definitely start reading that soon :)) also you’re super pretty! Can’t believe I’m only finding this channel now..thank you yt recommendations haha. Love from lebanon ❤
i lovedddd this!! do you always buy the audiobooks?
I just found your channel and I'm so glad I did! ❤ After hearing you talk about "I'm a Fan", I'm curious if you've read any Mona Awad and if so, how you felt about her books? She also has that really bizarre satirical vibe going on in her books! I haven't read "I'm a Fan" yet but I'm def going to pick it up after your review!
Looking for a more heart breaking version of The Seven Year Slip, try The Summer of Impossible Things by Rowan Coleman.
I felt very much the same about Legends and Lattes. Im very curious how book 2 goes.
idk if you’ve read rock paper scissors by alice feeney but that is one of the best thrillers i’ve read
I have not! I have been meaning to pick it up!
Famous Last Words: “I need to sleep.”
This is how I know it’s a good video. It is Pokhraj approved
@@Foodfry122 Haha thanks
Can you do a video on how you get those curls .
I enjoyed “Study in Drowning” when I was able to get over the main character’s personality at the start. I didn’t like The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, mostly due to the plot being very minimal and that twist at the end -it felt a lot more sinister to me.
Your chanel just got recommended to me for the first time and already 20 seconds in I saw the Palestinian flag & your voice shocked me in a best way possible- it's so soothing:) looking forward to watching more of your videos🫶
I was listening to The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, but I had to return the audiobook on Libby. I didn't finish fast enough. I have heard great things about Legends and Lattes, excited to read it when I get the chance! Never heard of The Seven Year Slip. Also never read 'None of This is True'--- I enjoy thrillers, so I am intrigued! I books with a podcast in them. Sadie by Courtney Summers was the first introduction to this concept. I listen to audiobooks more than physical books because Libby is free, books are not, and the audiobook being good is always something I look for. I like ambiguous endings, even though I know there are lots of people who don't. Definitely reading None of This is True! I've heard great things about Bright Young Women, I'm excited to read it! I was a bit nervous about A Study in Drowning because I read Juniper and Thorn, and I both enjoyed it, but the plot wasn't plotting for me---- I didn't mind some of the weirdness of the book, I actually found it intriguing. If A Study in Drowning has a plot that plots, I think I will give it a chance.
It's so validating to know that you and Ellias didn't like A Study in Drowning. I thought it was okay at best 😅
We love our resident librarian. Jack Stan forever
I liked the unpopular sci-fi series of the author of Irregular Witches so I am glad many recommended this book so now I can pick it up as well. I was the same in legends&lattes like I loved the normal life of the coffee shop
I absolutely loved the video and got some new book recs from it, thank you!
May I ask (and Idk if you've talked about this before) why you listen and read a book simultaneously? Or did I misunderstand and you sometimes read and sometimes listen to it?
I do read and listen simultaneously! It just helps me focus on the book better since my mind tends to wander!
As a fellow ADHDer, I appreciate this tip! Will try it out sometime! Thanks
❤
❤📖❤
you might not see this but please please please read the mexican gothic by silvia-moreno garcia, ik its a thriller sorta book but the plot is weird and interesting and havent really heard much about it from booktubers
loved this vid!
What's the service that you use for listening to audio books? :)
I use a few! Kobo, Everand, and Libby!
Illegal being this early
I genuinely hated the weird bioessentialism/racism in Legends & Lattes. Like it was well written? But it just… it just had a weird smattering of “it’s fantasy so we need some fantasy racism!” and I just deeply disliked it and the use of the word exotic *constantly*.
About Bright Young Women, that's a thing that the book emphasized but sadly most book tubers I saw talking about the book ignored, this need to repeat his name. We can talk about him without repeating his name in every sentence. He was just a pathetic evil man.
Wow Jananie!!!
So many of these books, especially "Bright Young Women" and "None of this is True", would have NEVER made it onto my TBR, but I couldn't add them fast enough📔🩷

Can you do youtuber’s worse reads too 😂👀
I thin Irregular Witches is going to be my sort of book, and Bright Young Women is to one of my friend's taste, so I will buy it for her. I'll give Woman, Eating a shot, weird as it sounds, because I am a Buffy fan and haven't read a vampire novel like that.
I didn't read A Study in Downing because of the trigger warnings from Booktubers, so I appreciate your review. I have a reaction to many romances, especially YA, that I wish there wasn't a romance at all or that the female MC would just decide not to love ANY of the characters she has as potential love interests. Where is the author who is writing that story? It doesn't have to an asexual or aromantic character - why do all women have to fall in love? There is more to life than love. Attraction and crushes are not love. YA MCs need to learn this!
And for adult romances, why can't the MC decide it was just great sex? Not every relationship is "true love". Not to knock all romances, because I do like some of them, but some romantic leads are just so meh that I wonder why they won the heart of the partner. And in some cases, I wonder why the MC is so attractive when she (or he because I do read M/M too) is a hot mess. Avoid those manic pixie dream girls/boys, my friends.
was checking out I'm A Fan until u said it's for the Sally Rooney girlies... diidn't enjoy Normal People at all lmao
lmao neither did i! so i think you might still enjoy I'm a Fan!
Since you support the palestinian issue, I encourage you to read the Qura'n. You won't regret it. Love from Egypt🇪🇬❤❤❤❤
THE PALESTINE FLAG!!!
the writing retreat is AWFUL. I feel vidicated
"Just a white woman..." is this really what you want to have said?
This is my first time watching one of your videos and I loved it! I actually have some of these books and they have been on my tbr for months. Now, I am convinced to bump them up to the top of my tbr. Thanks :)
❤
