Who's so hypnotized by Sam's makeup and nails that he hardly focus on rhe books.
None really!!!
Ok just me ❤❤❤❤
Yeah, she's a cutie. But I really do like hearing her talk about books (I do check most of them out on Amazon). I sometimes use her vids as ASMR while I'm coding.
Me....
Me!!!
Your nails look like actual claws and I am LIVING FOR IT
I'm so excited to hear your thoughts on Nevernight. Those books are incredible, especially Godsgrave. It's definitely not YA though
I love your nails! Also we said "It's always witch season" at the same time.
came here for the books but I couldn't stop staring at your nails!! 😍
thank you!
"That cover though..." - I feel you, girl.
Ombre lip goooooaaaalsss! The whole eye look too, actually! Love it, Sam :D
Nevernight definitely falls more in the New Adult/Adult category, though some stores shelve it as YA and every time I’m like 😳😬 there are definitely some sexy times and violent times that are not YA whatsoever lol
I've heard! But since New Adult isn't a category that stores use, it gets all confusing.
Is it true that it has bad/offensive depictions based on the indigenous peoples of Australia? I keep hearing that.
Sarah A I think it has someone using a derogatory term for indigenous people and it never being addressed or corrected, but in Godsgrave it was challenged.
Anahy Fernandez interesting, the review I read said it went much deeper than that with stereotypes and such. I dunno, it does sound like a cool book!
The only thing I know for sure is that the problematic content was generally corrected, I don't remember much about what exactly made it problematic, so you could very likely be right. I do believe statements were made.
That ombré lip though! ❤️ strange the dreamer lives up to the hype- you're going to love it!
I just love your aesthetic so much. That hair, those beautiful nails, that lipstick is gorgeous, and your shirt! You look stunning!
There is going to be 9 books in the Expanse series, currently 7 are out, I've read and loved all of them😍
yessss
I really recommend listening to the audiobook version of Nevernight, too. The narrator has good character in his voice. And the story itself has quite a bit of world building (via footnotes), sometimes dumped in the middle of an ongoing scene, which might be off putting to some readers, but when you listen to the story, it's like having a bard tell you the story and it makes the experience funner.
Nevernight is my favourite book of all time so I hope you like it! Strange the Dreamer is also one of favourites!
AH I love the ombre lip! And I've always appreciated that you don't show all the unsolicited copies you aren't interested in--it definitely feels fake when people do that and I love that I can depend on you to feature books you're genuinely excited about. Also, I've been so excited about The Wicked Deep but haven't heard much about it so I'm so excited to see what you think!
The curse of the TBR is real! Lol.
thank you :)))
I hope you enjoy Nevernight. The next book is even better.
Strange the Dreamer starts off a little slow, but it’s so worth it.
I just got a copy of nevernight this month and I’m so excited to read it!
Jay G read it. It is amazing.
Strange The Dreamer is amazing. You’re gonna love it I promise
I have no doubt :)
😔I didn't like it and iam so jealous that you did... 😧😖
Strange the Dreamer is one of my favorite books of all time, I have been waiting for Sam to read it for months as we have similar books tastes and I know she will love it.
You could sew that tapestry to a piece of fleece backing and have yourself a cute throw blanket, if you wanted.
The lipstick looks great! I also got books as gifts this month, but for my birthday.
The Wicked Deep looks Wicked Good! In love with that cover and love all things witchy! Makeup on point darlin’. Also, The Hazel Wood is pretty good so far, only about 1/4 in.
That Coraline necklace is GORGEOUS
Strange the Dreamer 💙💙💙 that's the one I'm most excited to hear your thoughts on. Enjoy!
Amulet is cute!
NEVERNIGHt!!!!!!! Ah, you have the gorgeous paperback!!!! It had one of my favorite lines from a book last year.
I only bought Heartless, Renegades, and The Girl with All the Gifts, so I did good!!!
I adore the Nevernight Chronicles and love listening to the audiobooks for this series.
Ahh I can't wait to see what you think of The Hazel Wood! There's so much hype but also a lot of people have told me they were disappointed, so I'm interested to see where you fall!
I am so excited that you're finally reading Strange The Dreamer! Also, your new nails, and lipstick are amazing!!
OMG, Sam, your lip makeup is to die for!! 😍 I looove it! Oh, and of course the books are awesome too! 😁 I have that same edition of Strange the Dreamer and holy cow, IT IS GORGEOUS! I haven't read it yet, but I'm planning to give it a go this year. I've had mixed feelings about Daughter of Smoke and Bone and so I'm hoping to like Strange the Dreamer a whole lot more.
You may have finally sold me on Twelve Kings with the Kill Bill in the desert description, :D. I'm so excited and yet nervous about you finally reading Ancillary Justice because ohhhhhh god what if you don't like it!
Greetings!!! You have something great to look foreword to in August and remember ---Ordinary people have big TV's and exceptional people have a big library!!! Enjoy your books!!
Your eye makeup looks amazing... I know you are not a beauty guru or whatever but dam, I would love to see that tutorial
The Wicked Deep sounds interesting. Thanks for showing me a new book I might read
Ah! I've had Ancillary Justice for a few months! I'm really hoping to tackle it very soon. I grabbed Nevernight when it came out and finally read it a few months ago. I wasn't head over heels for it, but I could see why you may enjoy it and looking forward to hearing your reaction to it. I hadn't heard of Twelve Kings and now I'm interested...
I've been making my way through Red Seas Under Red Skies which has been about two months. Once I hit the halfway point I haven't wanted to put it down though and its definitely all the pirate stuff.
Your eyeshadow. Lipstick. Nails. Aaaahhhh. Goals!
The key is like the key from Coraline! I need that!
Yay Nevernight! It can take a while for some people to get into it (not me lmao) so make your sure you stick with it for at least 100-150 pages!
Yes i cant wait for The Wicked Deep! And that cover!
Holy shit you look amaze!!! I've started playing inquisition because you talked about it and I am loving it so much. Cullen is the actual cutest thing.
Twelve Kings has been on my radar for a while! Looking forward to your review
I'm halfway through Ancillary Justice (as I picked it up from the library on a whim), and I'm enjoying it well enough- but I have a feeling based on your videos that it'll be up your street. It gives me low-key Mass Effect feelings.
The Wicked Deep sounds so interesting!
THE HAZEL WOOD IS SO GOOD AND ELLERY FINCH IS MY BABY!!!!!
4:00 That book cover, though.. Before the summary, I already want it. Then you summarized it "Kill Bill in the desert". I can't wait for the review on nearly all those books.
Ancillary Justice is SO GOOD. The second and third books in the trilogy are really good too, but Ancillary Justice is definitely my favourite! Breq is a fantastic character. You'll love it! :)
I'm really excited for The Wicked Deep as well! 📚💓
One of my friends recommended a series to me recently called Tales From the Kingdom by Cynthia Voigt and I found a couple of them on book outlet so I'm v excited
Nevernight is fantastic! I think it’ll really speak to you. It’s about assassins who actually kill people 😂 I read The Hazel Wood this month and enjoyed it for what it was. I won’t say anymore till you’ve read it haha. Also, Strange the Dreamer was in my top 3 favorite books of last year. It is beautiful and haunting and everything I wanted from Daughter of Smoke and Bone and didn’t get (I don’t love that trilogy sadly)
YESSS you finally got nevernight!!! god i really hope you like it😅😅
I think I will!
Strange the Dreamer was absolutely fantastic it was so beautifully written. I felt as if I was reading historical fiction because it came to life so naturally? Don't know if that makes sense but you need to get onto that book asap lol
Hocus Pocus is one of my favorite Halloween movies! I'm going to have to read that book. 😍
Omg I need the wicked deep that sounds amazing!
The necklace from Owlcrate is from Coraline ;)
Given my current budgetary needs, I have limited myself to one new book a month, and I think this month I am going to pick up The Hazel Wood, because it's so beautiful and I WANT it. I love the green cover - although I think I personally like the black just a little bit more. But they're both Gorgeous.
I think you'll love Nevernight! It's incredible. I don't believe it's YA though... lots of F bombs, sex, and violence. But it really is an incredible series
I need to see your bullet journal like actual NEED. Plus I'm curious about how you write with those fabulous nails! 💟
I have a flip through on my other channel from the end of the year but it's evolved even from there so I might start doing seasonal flip throughs!
Thoughts on Tomes OMG please do! 💟
I am the same way with book hauls. I love books and buying them but I have so many books I already own that I need to read.
Your lipstick is perfection!!!! I was just introduced to The Wicked Deep and I NEED that book!! that cover is perfect and that story sounds amazing and ugh. I totally agree with you I feel like I just want to read that book around Halloween hahahah.
Oh Nevernight is not a YA book. You'll realize with the first chapter that its not a YA. I'm so excited to hear your thoughts on it
I'm aware that its very graphic, but alas, it is still shelved in YA by retailers.
Mmmmmmm the UK covers of Laini Taylor's books are drool worthy! I'm about a week away from reading Strange the Dreamer WOOT!
And dang girl, your makeup is gorgeous! Makes me wanna go throw some color on my face :)
ooh you got me excited for so many books with this! it's bittersweet though, bc i am literally in a book buying ban. my parents won't let me buy any books. dark times here in the household. i'm sooo jealous!! btw girl your nails give me life
I totally made Ancillary Justice a priority for this year but omg am I intimidated by the hard science fiction!
The wicked deep and The Hazelwood sounds and looks interesting! Love the covers ♡♥♡♥
I think the seventh book in The Expanse series came out in December, and it isn't completed yet! Can't wait to read them all!
Your nails!!!!! Gorgeous!
:))))
I just started the Amulet series. Up to volume 5 now. There’s seven out now but the eighth comes out this September. I also just bought Nevernight and I also want the UK edition of Strange the Dreamer! It’s so mesmerizing! I’m going to definitely add Twelve Kings to my list now! Sounds awesome. P.S. Your lipstick is fabulous. 💜
Oh my gosh, yes you have Nevernight now!!!! I'm so pumped for you to read it! Yes, it is only a trilogy! :D
The graphic novel amulet sounds a bit like the hazel wood book lol
Sam!! I don't know if you've heard about this book, but it's called To Kill A Kingdom, it comes out in a week and it deals with a murderous siren and a pirate prince
I've heard lots of good reviews (haven't read it myself yet) and it seems like something you would like
OMG can’t wait to hear what you think of Nevernight!!! So good!!!!
I need to read Strange the Dreamer too! Laini Taylor is wonderful ☺️
I heard from a booktuber that the black key was from Coraline. I read Strange the dreamer and I liked it, the only thing that left me "meh" was the romance, but I thought everything else was interesting. And I'm really excited about reading The wiched deep when it comes out :)
Also, I love how you painted your lips, it looks really cool.
Tbh I think that all of these boxes I see on RUclips look pretty cute, but aren’t really practical. It normally looks like you get a book, which is the part I get and like, but also you get a lot of neat, yet not needed by anyone ever and will just end up accumulating in a drawer: small trinkety stuff.....it’s like really cute/nice junk basically. And you have to pay $30 plus shipping a month, and the only thing you are guaranteed to get use out of is a book that you didn’t get to pick out, since the box’s content is kept secret/random. With all that said, however.....I kinda love that edition of The Hazel Wood though 😍.
These kinds of boxes aren't for everyone but they definitely appeal to a lot of people who like to collect fandom related merchandise. I personally love the bookish themed candles and the funko pops.
I feel you! I’m trying to get my TBR down too but my Husband keeps buying me books 😂 I’ve almost got it down though. I finish grad school in May, and can't wait for more free time to read. It'll be a huge relief!
That Nevernight cover _is_ cool looking. Makes me wanna break out the brush and ink.
The key is from coraline, really tempted to sign up for owlcrate
I own the UK Strange the Dreamer too and it's so pretty! Can't wait to see what you think :)
So glad you got nevernight! But it’s not YA it’s definitely adult, it is about a 16 year old though. Also Strange the Dreamer! I would totally read Laini Taylor’s shopping lists too!
it's shelved as YA in bookstores and libraries, so for all intents and purposes, it is YA. I am aware it is more mature though :)
Great haul. Also, your makeup is on point!
Yess definitely loving the make up look !!😍😍😍
The Wicked Deep sounds soo awesome. 😁
Yay!! I'm so happy you'll read Nevernight^^
Sam, forgive me because I’m new to the whole booktube thing, but I’m sure it should be a Yen Yang thing: as you consume the stories, the stories come in... within every consumed story there is a story to add to a TBR? 🤔📚
The two books in this that I was all yes please looked up on goodreads and turns out I already have on my tbr there so good job me. Now to find time to get to them.....
Wick and fable is great!
YES! Ancillary Justice is great!
Thanks for the video, love your hauls, but, girl, your nails are amazing!
Your makeup is goals
Strange The Dreamer is such an odd yet beautiful reading experience
I just got Nevernight yesterday! What month are you planing to read it? I want to read it before you do a review about it. I really enjoy watching your book reviews!
I love your nails btw.
Back to the topic: I’m dying to read Nevernight.
To help you with the "its not witchy season, but it kind of always is", just pretend your in Sweden. Here in Sweden for Easter, the kids dress up like witches and collect candy. lol. Don't ask me why, I'm an implant from the USA and I can't wrap my head around it. But yeah, so spring in Sweden, there are witches. ;)
AHHH YES STRANGE THE DREAMER I AM HYPE
Nevernight is awesome, Strange the Dreamer is not as good as Daughter of Smoke and Bone sadly, but it is just as beautifully written. I'm currently reading The Hazel Wood and I'm disappointed to be honest.
PS. I love your lipstick!
Please read Nevernight, I can not recommended it enough.
I love your nails and makeup giiiiiirl! You slay! 💪💪💪💪
Love the lipstick 300%!!!!!!!
I honestly live for your nails
Sam please PLEASE read NEVERNIGHT!!!! It’s so good!!!!!! Very dark, suspenseful, and action packed!!!!!! I have plans to read GODSGRAVE before the year is over hopefully!!
God, I need to read Nevernight! Also, written by one half of the duo behind Illuminae? Who wrote for AIDAN? #hyped
Hocus Pocus?! I'm not a big fantasy reader but damn now i wanna read that!
right?!
OMG I just found ur channel .. subscribed ..😀😀
Your makeup is 👌
thank you!
