I need every single person in the world to read "The Girl Who Drank the Moon". I cried and laughed and it made a permanent impact on my heart. It has beautiful writing. A quote:
“The heart is built of starlight
And time.
A pinprick of longing lost in the dark.
An unbroken chord linking the Infinite to the Infinite.
My heart wishes upon your heart and the wish is granted.
Meanwhile the world spins.
Meanwhile the universe expands.
Meanwhile the mystery of love reveals itself,
again and again, in the mystery of you.
I have gone.
I will return."
Come on, how can you not want to read a book with beautiful words like those?
You're right..I have read it and loved it too..
Ugh yesssss!!!!!!!!!! I agree with my whole heart❤️
Did anyone tell you the way you describe the books is outstanding , your voice is very calming and soothing
Loved the video btw ❤️
Oh my goodness this comment is so kind!!🥺thank you so much friend❤️
I would highly highly recommend small spaces. I read it recently and loved this so much. This book was such an unexpected fun and spooky ride for me. I am officially now scared of scarecrows for life.
Sent it to my kindle to read for october thank you :)
I’m so excited to pick it up!!! And also low key terrified now😩
Well, since scarecrows are in it I'm going to pick it up. There's something about scarecrows that's just so creepy
I’m a scaredy-cat so middle grade scary stories is probably my max! I’m in the middle of Nevermoor currently, which I’m reading for the wonderland readathon. Love it! Jupiter North is hilarious.
I’ve heard such good things about ghost squad 😭
same!!! I can't wait to read it!👻👻👻
I’m loving all these middle grade recommendations 🥰🥰
I just recently found your channel. You have got me more interested in reading! Thank you!!!
Aw yay welcome!! And thank you❤️
Just found out I have a test in all five of my classes tomorrow. Lexi’s videos are the only thing keeping me sane right now.
This is such a good video!!!! The ones you’ve recommended and I’ve read - Small Spaces, Dead Voices, Coraline, A Pinch of Magical - are WONDERFUL and I can’t wait to read the rest! 💜
One thing I have to say.. Never in my life I thought I would read middle grade books specially now that I'm about to hit my late twenties. but man ! I couldn't help it. I just ordered 8 of your must reads because you recommended it. Thank you so much! I love your energy and your channel. 💝 📚🤓 oh and the Halloween and fall vibe is perfection! Thank you so much again xoxo
oh my god you are the sweetest!! Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
Just pulled out a pen/paper and I’m ready to TAKE NOTES 📝
Omg this is me with all of your autumn videos Desi!!
Love your middle grade recs and reviews. Auto watch!
Great recommendations! I will pick one of these for the strange and mysterious category in the Wonderlands readathon
This was a really good video to watch with a lot of great recommendations!!! :D my favourite spooky middle grade so far is moondial! :D
LOVE IT!!
you and your videos are so inspiring! It’s like a Christmas gift each time 🤍
omg thank you so much❤️
I SCREAMED when I read the title I've been waiting for this video for a whole week 💛💛💛
Have noted down all the recommendations🙈❤ Thankyou for making this video💐
The Graveyard book just arrived yesterday! I acutually ordered it because of you, it just sounded so interesting (and I love Ghost stories, especially for Fall 🍁) and im super excited to read it!!!!👻
Yay! I love your middle grade recommendations! Please tell us more! ❤❤❤
I read The Graveyard Book a few days ago after your recommendation and absolutely adored it. Your recs never disappoint me!! I am now planning to read Vanishing Girls soon!
thank you SOOOO MUCH for making this!! i am 13, and have been having the hardest time finding spooky books (that are appropriate) to read during october!! one atmospheric book rec. i have for you is the wicked deep!!
i love this video. got so many new middle grade book recommendations. thank you.
Ooooh I'm so excited for this video. I love all of your videos!
aw thank you :)
💗
Hi Lexi, you might not see this but I just want to say thank you. Your videos bring me so much joy and they are so cozy and full of great new books that I have never heard of. Love you and your videos so much.
I'm actually getting The Girl Who Drank The Moon tomorrow, along with Forest of Souls, and I am so excited & I can't wait to read it! Literally added every book you recommended to my amazon wishlist :) ♡♡♡
I have been wanting to pick up City of Ghosts!
Lots of exciting books! Thanks for sharing!
So flipping honoured that you’ve included ‘Ghouls’ in your wonderful lineup - thank you so much, Alexandra. Ran around the house showing everyone your video and shouting excited nonsense. Hope you like the book!
Oh my goodness I’m so honored you’d comment!!! Thank you so much! Also I’m LOVING the book!!!❤️❤️
@@alexandraroselyn Ahh, that's fantastic to hear - thank you!
I need more of these middle grade recommendations😁
Added so many to my TBR 🤎the girl who drank the moon will always be a fav 🤎
Love your videos!!!!
I kinda hate those videos of yours... because you describe the books in such a good and enthusiatic way I wanna buy them all!!! They sound so amazing... and then I am taking a look at my overwhelming tbr and think: Nope you shouldn't.... Two days later an amazon order is placed. :D Thank you for recommending Middle grades! It is a very new genre to me, but I love it. I fell in love with A Town Called Perfect and the Measle series and I am lookig forward to read Malamander soon!
I hope you are doing well! Really enjoy your videos!
I just found you and you make reading books for people half my age sound wonderful 🍂🍂🍂 I'm trying to collect books for a few kids that cannot afford them so this will be amazing!
I read a lot of gritty gruesome adult horror books, and sometimes I need to unwind with fun, cozy middle grade horror books as palate cleansers haha.
I literally paused the video and went and got a cup of coffee. Love your recommendations........ ALL of them, book and non-book. 🤣💕 📚 ☕️
If you haven’t read The Night Gardener by Jonathan Auxier, it’s a fantastically creepy read. Excellent moral to the story and such a perfectly scary book! (Spoken about by a ginormous chicken...... so maybe not so very scary.)
I HIGHLY recommend The Jumbies!! I read it for the reading rush and I absolutely fell in love with it. Some of those jumbies are terrifying! After reading it I immediately bought the second and third book. I also just picked up City of Ghosts and Smalls Spaces today from the library. You made them sound so good I just had to pick them up!!
middle grades have the best covers
I don't normally read books like these but I'm gonna try to do that soon. Not next year because I have planned out books and am trying to save money so I'm reading what I have until I have nothing, but in 2023 maybe I'll be able to work on this. Hopefully I remember. I now have this video and Gavin's video from 2020 saved on here so I'll be able to watch them to remember the books in them and I will know who recommended each book I'm gonna read. I have a few books in my wish list on Audible because that's where I'll be able to read these books, so I hope I'll remember to do this in 2023. We shall see.
Hi Alexandra! I just love your recommendations. I always love middlegrades and you have the best selections. Im happy there are people who likes middlegrade same as me eventhough we are adults.hehehe. Please recommend more.🥰🥰🥰
I highly recommend The Thickety!! It’s a super atmospheric middle grade about witches and has a great magic system. It’s also pretty spooky and will keep you on the edge of your seat
Lexi I love these recommendations 🥰....I already own “The Graveyard Book” with the audio OUTSTANDING!!!, City of Ghosts, The Girl Who Drank the Moon, A Pinch of Magic...but Nightbooks, Dead Voices, and Small Spaces how did I miss those they sound Amazing...Thank you Lexi 😊
Omg I’m so glad you liked the Graveyard Book!!!!!
A-Rose always comes through with quality videos
The last week I’ve been searching the whole internet for spooky middle grade books so this is perfect
I loved "The House with Chicken Legs" so much! Absolutely beautiful and heart warming ♥
Just adding books to my cart on Thriftbooks while I watch this. Haha, my 11 year old daughter has loved your previous recommendations.
Middle grade Dark Academia, yes please!
Always gotta come to the queen of middle grade for spooky recommendations!!! 💜💜 the misery of black hollow lane sounds super intriguing!! Neil Gaiman is such a classic!! I’ve heard amazing things about ghost squad!!! 💜💜 love a haunted house!! That scarecrow is giving me all the spooky vibes!! A book within a book is the best!! I loooovvveee the girl who drank the moon!! 💜💜 I still gotta read howls moving castle and Nevermoor!!
The ghouls of howlfair was so GOOD and Lexie can you do a spooky middle grade reading vlog
loveeed it ❤️
I love ur vedios they are so pleasing charming and asthestic it is like a Christmas gift every time
Omg I love this video
Speaking of memories with Howl’s Moving Castle, your book club pick will forever remind me of what got me through month 4 of the pandemic. I was thankful for something positive to pour my energy into during that time!
Omgsh that means so much to me thank you🥺❤️ I hope you’re doing well now❤️❤️❤️
Alexandra Roselyn Definitely better, but it’s been a wild 6 months!
I absolutely LOVED A Tale So Dark and Grimm when I was a kid! It scared me half to death but I loved it. It has a really interesting narrative style too!
Small Spaces is so good!! I love it more than Dead Voices 🎃
I just started Nightbooks this month. I’m now about 76 pages in and am enjoying it so far. I also loved Pinch of Magic. Can’t wait to get to the second book.
I just finished Small Spaces, and I really enjoyed it!
Thank you for this video!
She’s a breath of crisp fresh air ☺️
I love the way you speak english. It was charming and sweet
I was just searching to read a good middle grade and while I was scrolling to watch a video, I saw your new video!😍 how lucky I am😍❤
ashwika Jhawar she's the best 🤗
@@carlazaragoza1743 yes, lexi is the best😍😀
Great video, thank you.
I did not realize Small Spaces had a sequel out. I loved the first book, so I’ll have to pick that one up.
I highly recommend The Forgotten Girl! Sooo good and great diverse rep.
Gonna read some of these was wondering what lipstick are you wearing? Love your videos
I recommend the key to extraordinary!
I actually picked up A Pinch Of Magic for my October tbr :)
Yay I’m definitely gonna read one of these also I finished all my prompts for the Alice in wonderland readathon!!!!!!!!!!!
Omg that’s amazing!!! I still have two to go but great job Nikolaus!!!!
Thx
brb, adding all of these to my October TBR
Such a fun video! I posted a middle grade recommendations video this week, too! Not spooky, just middle grade 🙃
😍😍😍 can't put your video in the to do later list♥️
❤️❤️❤️
All the books sound Awesome, where do you get your tabs for your books. Love middle grade books. Keep up the great work.
Hello there ! Your all videos are really amazing and I have already got so many ideas of different books from you and here is a small request from me that please make a video on fairytale books recommendation also😊
Okay, so I TOTALLY might have gotten some of my October picks from you, so sorry if you've already read them: Scary Stories for Young Foxes, The Dreadful Tale of Prosperous Redding, The Girl and the Ghost, The Monsters of Rookhaven, and Vanishing Trick (also have Wundersmith and The Jumbies that you mentioned)...and of course, now I want to add ALL the books you featured!! Thanks as always for ALL that you do!!
I love these videos, I always come out with new books I want to read. One nitpick though is that I wish you would only recommend books you have read.
aw thank you :) and oh sorry!! I think that's just my background from being a librarian and bookseller. We're taught to tailor our recommendations based on reviews and individual readers taste rather than just our own experience, so I'll probably keep doing that- but I'll always be sure to mention if I've read it or not! xx
Hey Alexandra! Love this video, and all of your recs. Not sure if you're going to see this comment, but 'Jumbies' is actually pronounced "jum-bees", not "joom-bies". My family is from Trinidad and Tobago, and for us, a Jumbie is pretty much our Boogeyman equivalent. My parents used it to scare me to sleep MANY a'night haha.
You should definetly read 'Small Spaces', it's awesome!
I've recently discovered your channel and I love it! 💚 I have another middlegrade monster recommendation that I'm currently reading: "The Moster who wasn't" by T. C. Shelley. Also the cover is just stunnig! ☄💚
I read Unnatural Creatures on your reccomendation and I freaking loved it. And I'm not one for short story anthologies.
Archimancy (Shadow School #1) is dark academia middle grade and SO GOOD!! Haunted grade school!!
I hope you do a fall reading vlog!!!!!!!
I just put 7 of those on my tbr..
I have so many more books to add to my tbr now lol how will I ever read them all before Fall is over?!
Hi! I don't remember if I've posted it on here but I really can recommend Kathryn Littlewood' books about the Bliss family. First book is called Bliss, then comes A Dash of magic and then Bite-Sized Magic. They are all very good and I can highly recommend them. Cheers Jackie
5:16 KITTY!!!!!!!!!
I am going to try and read some of your ghost books 📚 please stay safe love John from Australia xxx
Thank you John❤️ you stay safe as well!!
Alexandra Roselyn will do
Ghost squad is so good. I'm hoping for another book. Lilac Skully is middle grade with ghosts.
Ilysm
It was so creepy when your cat walked by 🤪
💛
I absolutely adore Howls Moving Castle...I want to get Calcifer as a tattoo
Omg that would be so cool😧😍❤️
I love scary books the mystry of black hollow lane is great.i love october
I looe dead voises its awesome.
If you haven't read them yet, I highly recommend Spirit Hunters by Ellen Oh & Skeleton Man by Joseph Bruchac - both are wonderful, spooky, with amazing female protagonists!
I feel like you would love the book "The Mysterious Disappearance of Aiden S. (As Told to his Brother). It's a quick read and so cute and whimsical but also kind of realistic.
I might have already recommended these first two to you already but in case I didn't, they are both spooky and atmospheric. The House in Poplar Wood by K. E. Ormsbee and Watch Hollow by Gregory Funaro. I also adored two books by Pat Walsh called The Crowfield Curse and The Crowfield Demon. There was supposed to be a third book, finishing a trilogy, but after many years it still hasn't been published. Still, the first two books both stand alone with satisfying endings and they are both quite spooky.
I highly recommend The Swallow: A Ghost Story by Charis Cotter. SO good!
Hey Lexi, do you plan on making a Hollowpox reading vlog or something? 🙈
Thank you for the recommendations! I have a few you might enjoy:
The Shrunken Head by Lauren Oliver
Nightmares! by Jason Sagel and Kirsten Miller
Anyone but Ivy Pocket by Caleb Crisp
The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury
Who Could That Be At This Hour? by Lemony Snicket
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark by Alvin Schwartz
Heap House by Edward Carey
Bunnicula by Deborah Howe
Again, thanks for the list. It's difficult to find quality books to read in this genre.
I don't know if you have read it all ready, but I would recommend Not Even Bones. It's the first book in the Market of Monsters trilogy
Kisses from Brazil. I love your Channel.
My favorite book from my childhood is The Voyage of the Basset. It’s basically Peter Pan crossed with the Hobbit. It is a picture book, but the art is extremely good, and the story manages to be quite compelling. I like it, at least. I don’t know if picture books are an interest of your’s Alexandra.
