I read Red, White & Royal Blue purely for the meme of how silly it seemed, and I loved it. I have red all of Casey McQuiston's books since then and One Last Stop is one of my all time favorite books.
@@MelReadsI didn’t realize some people don’t start with addicted to you! you should absolutely read the rest of them. No matter how crazy things get I always feel like the characters feel so much and their dynamics are conveyed so well. The core six feel like real people to me 🥹
Love the video.. but girl you look so good, you look so happy & are just glowing. I don’t know if it’s just the makeup but I hope you are doing well because you look so good! 😊
Awww your kitty was thinking bout interrupting but then he/she stopped ❤so cute Also I didn’t enjoy legend n latte I think I’ll have to reread it to see if I just was in a bad moment wen I first read it
I have heard so many people talk about Atlas Six and nothing anyone has said has made me want to read it…until now. HEROES. Sold. I am currently in the middle of a rewatch of the series. So good.
I read the Atlas Six and it was so awful😭 It was so slow. I read the Atlas Paradox too and it was more of the same. I don't really understand why people like this book so much
Hi!!! Loved your book recs!!! So, I saw your vid on Colleen Hoovers books and-this’ll probably be bad news to you😅-honestly, I’m intrigued about the hype so I picked up her latest Too Late and giving her a try😮. I 100% agree with you about People We Meet On Vacation. I loved Beach Read so I was primed for this one and MY GOODNESS❤❤❤so good! I also picked up Mexican Gothic and I got up to chapter 4 and I just, I don’t know I feel like Moreno Garcia tries too hard with the mood and motif. I don’t know that’s just my impression so far so I DNFed it. Maybe I’ll go back to it. Anyway wish me luck on my Colleen Hoover journey!
I loved Caraval, but I just can't seem to read the second book. Not that it is not good, it's just that I don't want to move on from the plot in Caraval.
When I tell you that I've never subscribed to someone so fast or binged videos so much..!! I seriously want to be your friend so much it's mad 😂 your energy is everything, but gurl.. how you pronounce "recommendations" kills me 😂😂😂 is that how people pronounce it in the US? Love your content though lovely. Going to keep working my way back through all your videos 💕
mel not captivating ?? BIGGEST LIE OF 2023. but back to the books i really need to mexican gothic , it really is my jam but i am still haven’t. the idea of houses having something about them really hits my kind of scary . and if knowing from pateron how much you enjoyed carval and still not having read it , makes me a fake fan but I will get to it i promise 😂
I absolutely love your videos and your reading taste is awesome, keep it up!! Also, I read a graphic novel last year called "Lightfall: The Girl and the Galdurian", it's a middle grade fantasy and I think you might like it Have a nice day or night :)

More than anything, I love how much BookTok has gotten people to start reading or get back into reading. 🙂
okay this!!! it’s a joy to see so many people reading now- especially ones that might’ve never picked up a book a few years back🛐❤️🔥
YESSSSS!!!! I got back to from a horrible reading slump (4 years) because of booktube and booktok. Thank the Greek Gods that I am reading AGAIN
I read Red, White & Royal Blue purely for the meme of how silly it seemed, and I loved it. I have red all of Casey McQuiston's books since then and One Last Stop is one of my all time favorite books.
I finished "People we meet on vacation" a couple of days ago and I absolutely agree, it's sooooooo good!!!
i can't wait to dive into my reread this year😩💞
I’m re-reading it right now for the third time, and i love it! This time in Swedish because it finally got translated 😄
You could convince me to read a phone book 😂 you pitch everything soooo well
best compliment ever!
I love The House in the Cerulean Sea and Legends & Lattes! I haven’t read the other ones but I’m currently reading One For My Enemy by Olivie Blake
omg how are you enjoying it?👀 i’m hoping to read it soon!
The addicted/Calloway series is actually amazing I recommend the whole series
i can't wait to get into addicted to you🧚🏻♂️✨

heroes is such a good show😩 i rewatched it about a year or so ago, and the atlas six has such similar vibes!
Thank YOU for pronouncing México the way you did. Love all your content ! 💖

Loving your sweater 🙌

I read the Atlas Six and it was so awful😭 It was so slow. I read the Atlas Paradox too and it was more of the same. I don't really understand why people like this book so much

Magnolia Parks as a total guilty pleasure!
In a video you mentioned you are unsure of whether or not you wanted to continue reading the Crescent City Series, and I was wondering why is that?
didn't love book 2 enough to make me continue! so i'm unsure now🏃🏻♀️
Can someone please tell me the name of the book with the hand and flames on the fingertips?! I wanna read it 😅
it’s middlegame by seanan mcguire🫶🏼

Booktok has been a bit disappointing to me. Mainly because everyone talks about the same 5 popular books lol
totally fair!!
