    I used to prefer series over stand alone books when I was a teen. However, now that I go to University and have more responsibilities,I cannot read as much and I feel like series are a big commitment. So I now prefer to read stand alone books, because I can read like 10 books and discover 10 different stories. With series, if I read 10 books, I might've just discovered like 3 stories and will have to wait a year or even more to find out what will happen next.

I’m very interested in The Astonishing Colour of After because I know from experience it can be difficult to know how to deal with other people’s mental illness and what you can do that will actually help support them.

    Turtles All The Way Down is so accurate because John Green has OCD and he said it was the hardest book to publish because it was so personal to him. I’m proud of him for being able to publish it and help so many with such a beautiful book.
    Edit: He’s been talking about it being made into a movie. Pretty sure that’s in the works.

    I love every time you mention The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender because it is my favorite book of all time! It was my intro to magical realism and it has totally taken over my life! It quickly became one of my favorite genres ever and is now the genre I choose to write my fiction in. As cheesy as it sounds, reading this book was such a epic experience because I had always struggled with wanting fantastical elements without having to become Tolkien, ya know? This book taught me that I could whip up a simple plot (or really no plot at all) and fill the space with eccentric characters and the lives they live. Everything just clicked into place for me. Also, if you haven't read anything by Alice Hoffman before, her books are a great addition to the genre. She's basically the queen of it haha! Love your videos!!!

It's sort of fantasy, mystery.. ish... with a family curse and 2 twins who had never met until a tragic event brings them together to discover the truth of the family curse. That's as close as I can get to describing it. It's such a good book!! I love all of Teri Terry's books and she just released a prequel to the Slated trilogy (new book Fated) she wrote. I just finished it and it was so good!! Almost as good as Book Of Lies
