reading booktok's most anticipated romance books in 48 hours challenge 🥲 ali hazelwood, emily henry
the fanfic tropes making it into published literature is absolutely wild to witness, what do you mean omegaverse is now going mainstream!!! leave knotting and omegaverse for ao3!!
lol!
I’m sure we’ll witness wilder and wilder things lol
Also, its funny that I have enough information on the omegaverse to know that this is not omegaverse but just wolfy paranormal stuff but at the same time I wonder if there’s an actual omegaverse traditionally published book…
wasnt there an omegaverse lawsuit and all that in publishing a few years back? its far from new to published books
The fanfic girlies were tired of their favorite stories going unfinished, so their was a demand in the market for traditional publishing 😂
@@yermom6760Best comment so far 👌🏼
>me learning about knotting because of this
"Do you think God stays in heaven because he, too, lives in fear of what he's created here on earth?" - Spy Kids 2
LOL!
literally had this exact thought process last week when discovering knotting from this book lmao
Hahaha, I didn't even understand what knotting is supposed to do while reading the book ... and I'm not sure I want to research further
That's a shapeshifter trope😂I didn't think it was a shapeshifter romance
It’s nice knowing there are people out in the world, living their lives, not experiencing the wonders and horrors of fanfiction tags and tropes 🙂
Some of us can only be so lucky…
i'm so sorry this has nothing to do with anything BUT i ended up behind a car with a vanity plate recently and the vanity plate said "RHYSAND." I just needed someone to know
NO!
I can't belive vanity plates are actually a thing😭(i'm not from US btw)
never EVER thought i’d be watching you find out about knotting 😭
:'''')
AO3 and Wattpad have been around for AGES, get with the times Cari! 😂
@@yermom6760Not be sitting there straight faced from my years of experience and trauma of fanfiction ☠️
She said that and I went “oh no”
I can sadly confirm there are children out there named Renesmee. I used to work in a lab and would see names like Renesmee, Daenerys, and even Khaleesi for kids 🥲
do these parents know no shame? 🤔
Omg…
Thank you for the manually done and accessible captions!
- new deaf viewer
💗
how can you tell if they are manually done? :)
It won't say they're automatic captions, and they will have proper grammar, spelling, etc.@@chrissy3875
@@chrissy3875 auto subtitles dont have punctuation, capitalizations, and usually have spelling mistakes! they’re also timed strangely and arent properly synched~
I don’t know anything about Ali Hazelwood besides what I’ve heard booktubers say, but her turning her hand to fantasy and choosing the most cliched tropes of all time fits my idea of her MO perfectly 😂 and you know what, write what you love I support it!
she's actually very deeply entrenched in all fanfic communities so im sure this was written just from a place of genuine love of this 'omegaverse' world :)
VAMPIRE IN STEM 😂
Love the rep 👏
Cari I am HOWLING at your journey into the fandom world - baby's first fanfiction and now the OMEGAVERSE?? I can't. I was in hysterics for the first half of this video.
Cari the cut to you with the clowns all over your face was IMMACULATE, I had to pause to take a sec to breathe 🤣🤣🤣
I really thought i had broken the mate curse 🥲
11:40 😂
In the UK in 2021 there we roughly 500 babies named Renesemee (some people change the spelling to Renezmae etc. but added together, about 500 of them in 2021 alone). There were more babies named Renesmee than there were named Jane.
I’m sure they were named with good intentions but I kinda feel bad for the babies😂😂😂 Just imagine a lifetime of people making twilight references at you😂😂😂
The funniest thing about shortening werewolves to weres is that wer is Old English for man, so Hazelwood is effectively calling her supernatural hybrid beings "men."
I'm Italian, I was rewatching Twilight with a friend and we came up with the same question, "How many people are there named Renesmee?" And, it turned out that there are A LOT in the US, but more interestingly there are some in Italy too, like 20 people or so 😂
I'm not a BookTok person, but they do have BookTok sections in bookstores now and I saw this on a table labeled as such in B&N. I actually enjoyed this, honestly as others have said, write what you know, and what you like and people who like the same things will come to you... honestly, I'll read almost anything, and if it makes me feel strong emotions, like supper sad, happy, or just makes me laugh out loud then I'm all in.
Ali Hazelwood is so hit or Miss for me but Bride was definitely a hit! I felt the same that I was glad the MC was a little less quirky a little more smart then her other characters but still had the signature lighthearted charm.
I am a EH stan so very excited to see that you enjoyed her upcoming book!! I can’t wait!!
I loved bride 😭 I finished it in a day. I feel like misery is easy to like and funny but I do have to say the ending was wrapped up quickly. The info dumping went crazy
GUESS WHO STAYED UP ‘TIL 7AM JUST TO WAIT FOR CARI TO POST THIS VID AFTER SHE POSTED ON IG? Yes, that’s me, and I have zero regrets.
omg nooooo hahahaa
not cari saying ‘omegaverse’ the instant my FATHER ENTERED THE ROOM i am mortified
Eh, he probably didn’t know what that is 🤷🏼♀️
@@LaurenHayley16And probably doesn't WANT to.
I’m only 11 minutes in, but I have been waiting to see your Bride review. I read the summary and saw the mc’s name and just thought “nope. Gonna wait until I hear Cari’s thoughts on this, because I don’t think anyone else could convince me to read it”.
LOL!
i truly did not know straight a/b/o existed
Lindsay Ellis has a video about one author starting and petty online campaign and suing another author because she claims to have invented het-omegaverse. It’s a good time. That same author then threatened to sue her for defamation over making the video
me neither. not sure if I want to read it
@@nooneinparticular8996 ik what video i’m gonna watch on my lunch break🏃♀️💨
It's been around for a while, presumably because it's a really easy trope to swap to het couples. The *real* unexplored use is sapphic omegaverse, lmao
Oh there is a ton out there, mainly in fanfics too. I mostly enjoy the Alpha female, omega male het omegaverse the most or alpha on alpha. Just makes for more interesting dynamics
Cari at 12:06 you literally look like a fantasy protagonist, you just need a blonde man and a brunette man standing behind you
Michigan is unreal Cari. it was 70 degrees here the other day, then we had tornados that night, then it was 20 degrees the next day.
Bride was definitely a trip… it’s one of those books that I won’t know how I feel about it until I think about it again years down the line. Tho, the main characters names and coloured blood took me out sometimes
What? That was the best part!
Who doesn’t like colourful blood?
6:35 not the edward meme 😭😭 im screaminggggg lmao
Watching the opening clip and hearing you wanna move to Michigan bc of the book😳 never felt more seen as a Michigander 🥹
this book is very much a love letter to michigan!
I’m crying I had an IDENTICAL reaction to reading the summary of Bride, down to the setting the book down briefly 😭😭
I really enjoyed Bride, but my biggest complaint, which I haven’t seen ANY ONE talk about, is how we just skipped over the final action/fight scene??? Why did she build all of that up just to skip to it being resolved? Did any one else find that odd?
your cold read of bride was hilarious and legit made me want to read the book 😂🫰🏼🫰🏼
on a whole different werewolf tangent: if you want a heart-warming but gut-wrenching fantasy of romance and growth into motherhood, the Japanese anime movie "Wolf Children (おおかみこどもの雨と雪, Ōkami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki" by director Mamoru Hosoda (The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2006), Summer Wars (2009)) is SO GOOD
my favorite movie of all time!!!
Girl, this is SOO ENTERTAINING! Also, I'm looking fwd to reading this book.
omg this is perfect, meant to be, written in the stars ~ i just sat down for lunch and couldn't find something to watch and then you posted
lol bon appetit~
CARI i love the cozy hoodie fit sm!
Omg I’m so mad I didn’t see this as soon as it came out but anyway I think Cari is probably the most genuine RUclipsr I watch and she literally inspired me to make book content lol
15:25 all i could think about was that line "you think your life is hard? im a highschool junior wearing size 13 nikes. MEN'S size 13 nikes. beat that" from tall girl that everyone was memeing a few years ago 😭
finally watching this vlog of yours, i waited till i finished reading the books on the thumbnail 👀 excited to watch ur reaction reading these books bc i rated them both 5/5! 🤣
I feeling you about the book “Bride”😂❤ to each their own, not for me personally
I love the Louis pillow
When I was reading bride and heard... mate... I immediately thought of Cari with wii music playing through the back of my mind 🤣
also I really think I needed a map for bride. I liked the book but just kept getting obsessed with the geography of it all.
i just finished Funny Story so i'm back to watch the second part of the video (lol) AND SAME ABOUT THE PANTS!!! i had to go back and re-read it, like "wait haven't they both taken their pants off already!?!?!?"
I love how you just talk about Ali as if you're besties!!
First of all… I love your commentary. I need you to be a narrator because your reading voice is chefs kiss!
As someone from Michigan, Emily’s love of this state makes me so happy.
Adding Funny Story to my TBR! Thanks Cari~
Cari it is absolutely blasphemous you haven’t read beach read by Emily Henry!!!! I can definitely picture that being your favorite book of hers!
Commenting halfway after your review of Bride. I'm someone who hasn't read any Ali Hazelwood, decided to give Bride a chance since it's PNR and I surprisingly enjoyed it? Really loved it. I found it well written, funny, enjoyed the side and main characters, that one dirty talk line was a little cringe but I can overlook that for just how much I enjoyed the book. I couldn't get into any of her other books but this one just clicked!
Ok but you should definitely narrate audiobooks. Your voice is perfect for it 😍
The pillow with your dog’s picture 🤍🤍🤍
i always watch your videos in a timely manner 😬 but i came back to watch this one again as i just finished reading Funny Story and can confirm: the confusion about the pants situation is real!🙃
Okay so normally im not like the biggest fan of book reviews or like read journeys (or any kind of book channels) if its about books that I maybe will read, but god (i dont mean this in a weird way, but) I lovee youuu. Like this is my first video I have watched from you, but like keep up these videos because like its morning and im stressed about the day and stuff and this video made me forget about the stress, so thank you😊😊
its so fun to watch you read books ive loved and watching you go experience the same shock as me when they were talking about knots in Bride omg hahaha cant wait to finish watching this lol
thanks for being here~
I have had far too much exposure to omegaverse (ty ao3) but Bride still caught me off guard 💀 In a traditionally published novel??
It was a fun read but predictable and I’ve forgotten 90% of it. Would read another book about the MC’s brother though haha. Hopefully no knotting in that one 🫢
I'm 99% convinced there is going to be a sequel about the brother and best friend
@@legumesss I read the book and it seems like the mentor of the alpha - Koen is actually serenas (the best friends) mate
@@anonymousanonymous1161 omg you're right, I completely forgot about that!
@@classic014 if you don’t know, please cherish/protect your innocence 🙏🏻 🕊️
@@classic014I don't know what that is either 🤷♀️
this concept seems terrifying but I’m here for it
I was 100% sure I wasn't going to read either of those two after watching your video I have now ordered both 😂
I love your videos so much? Who else knows Cari is QUEEN?
I'll definitely give Bride a go! Not that much into contemporary, but a vampire/werewolf mix is right up my alley 🤣
I actually paused the video when you took your break and I got some stuff done, went outside to post a letter, ticked off all but one task on my to-do list for today, before coming back and watching the rest of the video. Now I wish more videos had a little break in between that reminds me to go outside and/or get stuff done.
A small "donation" for your next visit to a coffee house from Vienna, a city with a very long coffee house tradition. I'm also spending this Saturday reading. Thanks for your great videos! Rainer ☕️📚
I read Bride as an arc in Octoberish and I loved it at that time. Good Ali Hazelwood vibes. I was also shocked to be thrust into the mechanics of the omega verse 😂 but it was good!
Haven’t read Funny Story but I love that it is in Michigan! I lived there for about a year and half and it is a wonderful place!! 💙
Thanks Cari for another great video!
ahhhh where do you find these books as an arc?
@@randomweirdlove My friend works at a bookstore and so she gave it to me. So, I have no real power, only connections 😂 it’s the only arc I’ve ever read. Maybe the website Cari uses would give you some too though? Not sure as I haven’t really looked into it. I think she said it was netgalley? Maybe there’s other ways too!
That dog pillow is too cute
right?!
i absolutely loved this video and it’s made me even more excited to read my funny story ARC💗
💗💗💗
You should definitely consider Michigan - I've lived here more than half a century, it's got a lot to offer.
As a Michigander, ✋ I can fully endorse moving here.
I loved bride! It was such a fun one 😊
I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on Happy Place. You mentioned enjoying the side characters in Funny Story, and a large element Happy Place is a group of friends. It’s still a romance, but the side characters are actually important to the story.
Love it when Michigan gets some love haha 🙌🏾
21:40 "I understand that it's a thing. Didn't need it. But... it was there. I... processed it."
You and me both 😂
Cari thank you as always for reading books I’m curious about but don’t want to read! 😂
My old classmate has a child named Renesmee. We are from Finland, so there are no name even remotely similar to that. I really feel for that poor girl.
When I finished the book the only thing I could think about was your reaction to the knotting 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I just finished Bride today and loved Misery’s personality and her banter with Alex. I wish we got more out of Lowe though…other than his knot 😅
just here to tell you I had the exact same experience with that one scene in funny story. I think i read it three times just to try and figure out the clothing situation. glad I'm not alone in my confusion!
I would love a plot summary of graceling 😍
i was literally just talking to my mom about how i want to read a romcom LMAO this is perfect timing!! thank u❤
*~destiny~*
I honestly really enjoyed Bride. I started Check & Mate and I hated every second of it, her writing style and the characters and everything. But I'm a sucker for vampire stuff and I was pleasantly surprised by how different this book read. Not a masterpiece in any way but a fun time and I kinda hope Ali writes more fantasy! I didn't need the Omega Verse thrown in there but that's the risk when reading about werewolves 😅
I love the Michigan appreciation!
I normally hate kids in romance but I loved the kid relationship with misery in bride
Huh, reading vlogs are really nice. I wish I had a friend I could do this back and forth with. I loved how you highlighted and chatted about things that stood out to you. Bride seemed cringy as hell to me, I'm not a werewolf romance person 😄 all its tropes seem awfully creepy, and especially if it's coupled with vampires. But I want to try Emily Henry and maybe I'll try this one.
I was waiting for your review of this!! I loved it and because I don’t read fanfic, I didn’t know there were fanfic tropes in here!!
I don’t know why, but when I first read the “whimper of a buttercream cake” line, it made me so irrationally angry. Like…WHAT DO YOU MEAN??
I was so surprised with how much I actually liked Ali Hazelwood's new book. I usually don't like anything that is considered as smt, & that's basically what her books are. But her new book was a fun easy read. What I do like is Emily Henry's writing. So now I am excited for her upcoming book! Sounds like a fun summer read.
i just finished reading funny story so I came back here and I THINK she took her shirt off in the first paragraph and THEN her pants! i had to doublecheck once you mentioned it LOL
CARI you should look into being an audiobook narrator! hehe
„The size of a refrigerator“ me very confused because my fridge is shorter than me…OH right the author is American 😂
She’s italian 🫣🫣🫣
@@caricanread really? Thought she’s American …WHAT KIND OF FRIDGE IS SHE TALKING ABOUT!? A WALK IN?
hi. I'm a nurse and actually there are babies named renesmee in the real world😂 like I've probably come across it atleast twice in the pediatric ward
Oh god, omegaverse my beloathed. Very much want to watch your reactions to some of these (I'm so sorry this was how you had to learn about knotting, lol) but I'm gonna need to watch that part in pieces, I hate that trope so much 😭
Lolol biggest plot twist of the video was me assuming you were talking about Bride in the preview clip where you said you had to read a sex scene three times (cough mechanics cough) but no! It was EH delivering the bewildering steamy scene. I have the book on hold - always enjoy both authors’ books but now I’m extra curious about Funny Story 😂
For those who loved the setting and pining in Bride, try K.M Shea's (KU) Magiford series 'Hall of Blood and Mercy'. It's clean but the world building and pining is fantastic
I would say Bride is omegaverse adjacent...like, if people who aren't super familiar with the concept go from Bride to other ABO, they will be in for some surprises.
oh slayyyy for all the michiganders, love the rep
My friend works with an lgbt youth group, and one of the kids in the group told her that their cousin recently had twin girls and named them Naomi and Renesmee... so yes, there are real life Renesmees out there in the world
you have to read beach read by emhen if you haven't already!!! it's my favorite of hers
Unrelated to the context but omg bestie your skinnnn. Have you ever shared your skincare routine? or is it good genetics?
omg so you had my experience with Bride? I thought I was the only one who didn't know what 'knotting' means and just got blindsided?? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I was so concerned Cari I'm freaking serious??? 😂😂😂😭😭😭😭
I got the kindle paper white because of you
i know ali hazelwood’s books have the same formula but i still love it every time BUT i saw bride at target and i read the summary and i was like -yeah maybe not this one this time 😭
Your facial expression after "big feet, big teeth" made me laugh out loud
At 7:24 and realizing I've been mesmerized by the Louie pillow and have completely lost the thread. 🙄
I liked some parts of Bride, but overall, not a book for me at all. Probably won’t be reading omegaverse ever again, if I can avoid it.
now I NEED to read A Funny Story
There were parts of bride i defintely enjoyed more than others. I loved how they bonded with each other as they were solving the mystery but the last few chapters were a struggle to get through. Also, I just hated the way everything was wrapped up, it felt rushed.
