OMGGG I was trying so hard to remember who recommended the Veronica Speedwell series in their videos AND IT WAS YOU!! I ended up picking up the first book on a whim after one of your YT videos and legit I am OBSESSED. Already finished 5 of the books and I can't stop reading them. Veronica and Stoker are like my new fave duo and I EAT IT UP every book. I wish more people talked about this series cause it's definitely becoming my top 3 series ever I just love how thought out the characters, settings, and reoccurring relationships/friendships are through the books. Thanks so much for like the best recommendation ever haha
oh my gosh you have no idea how happy i am to hear that!! i'm so glad you love the series so much!!! i feel like it's impossible to not be obsessed with veronica and stoker😩✋🏻
You are the first booktuber I have now subscribed to 🥰 I finally got back to reading books again after years of a hiatus (all due to school sucking the joy out of it). Now that I am no longer in school or forced to read books I hate. I have rediscovered the love, joy and passion of reading. My favorite genre being fiction (fantasy, witchy/magic, spiritual self help, romance, horror etc). It feels so good to tap into my inner child, as I would read for hours on end back in the day and during my teenage years (I am turning 29 this year). Watching videos where others, such as yourself have this passion for reading, it is just so amazing to see! I adore your personality and your videos! Thank you for creating these videos. Now, back to watching the video haha. Have a wonderful day ❤
i'm so honored omg😭 and i'm so happy to hear that you've rediscovered your love of reading!! i hope you love it so much and pick up so many amazing books!!💗
great blog! my favorite part of crocheting while listening to an audiobook is suddenly remembering parts of the book when i see the crocheted item haha 🧶❤
I’m with you on the reading slump 😭 I haven’t read since January but yesterday i lit a new candle and it instantly put me in the reading mood so I read 50ish pages 💞I feel like a lot of other booktubers and ppl I follow are also going through a reading slump recently so we’re not alone lol
I totally agree, the opening sentences of the Veronica Speedwell books are always A+! Also, the Stoker quote you read from A Grave Robbery... UGH get me a man who talks about me like that 🥺
12:11 i completely agree with not liking the info dumps. the big reveal at the end was just pages and pages of info and i was so bored and just wanted to get it over with.
i love omegaverse, so it's kinda funny when people add those elements as a downside of the book ksdjklsjadj it's like reading a horror/mystery and being mad that there is a killer in the book🤣🤣🤣 GIRL THANKS for nearly 1 hour of great time with you😊💖
Definitely enjoyed this vlog. A great way to spend a snowy Monday. Love your scarf!! Have the 1st book of the Veronica Speedwell series, so might have to finally enjoy it!!! Thanks for sharing..🤎
Your feelings about A Grave Robbery were exactly the same as mine! It was so good, loved the frankenstein vibes, *all* of the characters. I have not seen a confirmation of book 10 but my theory is since *spoilers* Since Lady Wellingtonia is still bed ridden sick and that plot line is not complete, I don't think this would be the last book. I do not want her to parish, I hope she heals completely, but she's a very important character stuck in a limbo. I'm also convinced that the series will end when they get married. I know veronica is completely against it (as stated in multiple of the previous books) and i'm okay if it doesn't happen, that's just my personal theory. So glad you enjoyed it, and if you reread the whole series I would totally be down for a vlog of it!
I think you’d really like a master of djinn by P. Djėlí Clark. It’s kind of like a steampunk fantasy set in Egypt, it’s sapphic, and it’s just like so good
Another amazing reading vlog from the best booktuber. I just love how much you love anime. I recently had a day of watching nothing but anime. My Neighbor Totoro and Howl's Moving Castle were two of them. Also watched Kiki's Delivery Service, Spirited Away, Wolf Children, and The Secret World of Arrietty.
I LOVED the stolen heir and I adored Suren as a mc 💙 I finished the prisoner's throne earlier today as well and I feel much the same as you did. I liked it and I looove the Elfhame world generally, but I just didn't love that book as much as I did the 1st one sadly :(
You're the only booktuber I watch whose tastes are similar to mine and I love that lol. Can always trust your recs! I felt really similarly about Bride, but like...I'll definitely keep reading Ali's books. They're like candy. 🍬
I just noticed the other day that Hoopla as the audio book for the second book of Veronica Speedwell series so hopefully will continue the series in the spring. At the moment reading City of Fallen Angels and Flowerheart and enjoying them. I feel like Flowerheart might be a 5 star because it is giving me Studio Ghibli and Howl's Moving Castle vibes with the magic and love so can't wait to finish the book to see if my prediction is right. Love the reading vlog and the vibes that you bring. Happy reading!
yay! the audiobooks for that series are seriously so good!! and flowerheart has been on my radar for so long, it looks so cute!! so i'm so glad to hear you're enjoying it!!🌸
Loved this video! If you’re at all into steampunk-setting adventure books, I would highly recommend the Clockwork Angels trilogy by Kevin J. Anderson and Neil Peart. One of my favorite trilogies I’ve read.
Also. I hate the feeling of sadness that hits you after finishing a good book 😭I am currently reading the raven boys, and it is so good I am so sad I only have a few chapters left. I know it is a book series so it won't be the end end, but still. GAAA! It is so frustrating lol
Loved the video soo much. I was also wondering, for the Wyvern and Words bookclub, whether you posted a video about the discussion of book 2 (a torch against the night) and at which date we will be discussing the third book (a reaper at the gates). Really looking forward to it. 😊
The vibes of your videos are just always so ✨immaculate ✨🤌🏻 Super random but like I neeed a room tour, the glimpses we get are stunning! Maybe a clip in a Patreon vlog? 👀 You’re also making me want to replace my Veronica speedwell books in hardcover, my poor wallet!! 😭
I think you would really appreciate Bad Indians by Deborah Miranda! You would learn a lot about growing up as a Native American in the US, but she also includes poetry and all kinds of genres in the book. It is beautiful and my all time favorite book!
yes! i agree with bride. the 3rd act breakup was stupid, the whole book was predictable and i felt like the ending was SOOOOOO fast lmao like it all wrapped up too neatly and quickly.
🧣🧶I was feeling extremely wary about watching this vlog because I really thought you would NOT enjoy A Grave Robbery-but you surely did 😅 It was one of the series’ weaker books for me though ☹️ I will say Stoker’s love declarations are always sublime. Love the scarf - the fringe is top tier 🤎
Have you read the manga "Witch Hat Atelier" it's amazing and the best thing is the first volume is on kindle unlimited! The art style is stunning and the story follows a young girl who always wished to be a witch but was told that you had to be born one... The magic system is super unique and the story line is captivating. The baddies are bad or are they. There is this morality issue and yeah if you haven't read it please try it! I don't think you'll be disappointed. I definitely don't want to spoil it as it's best if you go in blind!
I definitely agree with your comments on bride katy,I liked misery out of all hazel wood's fl main character as well and considering most people giving it 5 stars is because most of them haven't exactly dipped their toes in paranormal romance genre and as a paranormal girly myself I have definitely read much better than this,😅overall it just felt flat for me
I’m totally with you on prisoners throne. I just don’t care…I have maybe 100 pages left and took a break to watch this video to see if I was alone in my thoughts.
Do you have the whole Veronica Speedwell series in hardcover? If so, where did you get the first book in hardcover? (all I can find is the first book in softcover and I am a hardcover slut lol)
i do have the entire series in hardcover! but the first book doesn't come in hardback with the new cover so i made my own dust jacket so it would match the others lol😭
omg yeah i also just finished the prisoners throne.. i feel like it was kinda pointless? idk like nothing of great value happened nothing was important and the ending? like what was the point, i was only there for jude and cardan, almost dnfd it 5 times lol.
Plz never stop making 1 hour long videos I love them sm❤
AGREEDDDD
trust me they won't be stopping for a long time🫶🏻

Deanna Raybourn has for sure confirmed a 10th book 🥹🙌🏻🦋
thank god😭✋🏻 i literally don't know what i would have done if this was it!!
I was here for bride and prisoner’s throne review and I think I should give them 1 try 🥺. Thank you for the review tho❤
Your excellent Twilight shirt is making me want to reread Twilight, which is NOT on this months tbr lol 😂 Love your scarf, it looks great!!🧡
reread it anyway👀👀 and thank you!!!🧡
Bride was a 2.5 star read for me,,..
have been waiting for ur prisoners throne thoughts cannot wait to watch this 😭😭
The twilight shirt catch me so much 😅
okay but where did you find a hard cover in a curious beginning with the blue dust jackers!!! can't find that anywhere
yes! i agree with bride. the 3rd act breakup was stupid, the whole book was predictable and i felt like the ending was SOOOOOO fast lmao like it all wrapped up too neatly and quickly.
i'm glad i'm not alone in thinking that😭 i feel like so many people are giving it five stars and i just don't get it???
always look forward to your reading vlogs 🫶🏼☁️💗
💗🥺🫶🏻
you should read the nevernight trilogy by jay kristoff :) black white and red theme vibes
omg! where do you buy the Veronica Speedwell in hard cover?? I can't find them anywhere :(
Katie will you be rereading the infernal devices this year?
potentially!! i'm thinking i might save it for fall this year instead because i've only ever read it in spring and summer!
I’m so with you on the third act break up in Bride.
I’m sending you love and a great year❤
You like book, I like her😊
I have Bride cant wait to read it. Great vlog 📚☕🍄🦋🌈🌷🐞
Katie how did you like the Seven Year Slip?!
All love from Brasil 🇧🇷
Love your videos
Bride was so fun until it wasn’t 😭😭 also I need to finish reading The cruel prince because I wanna understand the knife wife 😂
literally!! i was so disappointed by the end of it😭 and you really do! i'm so curious to see what you think of it!!
🧣🧶I was feeling extremely wary about watching this vlog because I really thought you would NOT enjoy A Grave Robbery-but you surely did 😅 It was one of the series’ weaker books for me though ☹️ I will say Stoker’s love declarations are always sublime. Love the scarf - the fringe is top tier 🤎
oh no!! i'm so sorry you didn't love a grave robbery as much as the others😭😭 hopefully you'll love the next one!! and thank you!🧡
Is the first Veronica Speedwell available in hardback with the new cover? I can’t only find the old cover hardback and the new cover paperback :/
unfortunately it's not😭 i'm just crazy and made my own dust jacket for the first one so it would match the others
Rip 🥲 no that’s not crazy that’s so smart! I may have to try to do that if I want the set in hardcover but idk if I have the skill haha
Love the long vlogs. I am hoping to get the Holly black book today. I have not read any of these books. What is the first book to a grave robby?
thank you!! and the first book is called a curious beginning! a grave robbery is the 9th book in the series!
@@katieisreading thank you so much. You are very welcome, I've been wanting to start the series but needed to know what the first book was called

I'm properly influenced and just purchased the first book in the series of Veronica Speedwell. I know, very late to the party!
ah yay!! i hope you absolutely love it!!!!
I’m totally with you on prisoners throne. I just don’t care…I have maybe 100 pages left and took a break to watch this video to see if I was alone in my thoughts.

By the way, a king size bed is 6’8” long. HOW TALL IS THIS MAN
