i only read 4 books but one of them was priory of the orange tree and i’m SO proud of myself for finally getting to it
OMG SAMEEE. read three books but one was priory!! that book is so dense & rly intimidating, but i'm glad i pushed through bc it was sooo good! definitely a book to remember
SAME!!!! I read five books this month which consisted of The Priory of the Orange Tree & House of Sky and Breath. Both amazing books!!
Is priory of the orange tree worth it?? i really wanna read it but the size is kind of daunting lol
@@h0tandspicy if you’re someone who loves fantasy, i would definitely give it a try. the world building is reminiscent of lord of the rings, very detailed and complex (which is why it’s such a long book). it’s slow at the beginning but it picks up speed relatively quickly (around the 100-150 page mark, which is typical of fantasy books in my opinion). if you’re someone who doesn’t like fantasy that much i probably wouldn’t recommend reading it though
that's dedication!! i'm too scared to try and read that
That copy of book of night is so pretty though 💀
tbh, having a dark academia in winter can also work because depending how you want to look at it, winter can be dark/creepy
I agree! I think it’s just that typically people start to look forward to spring around this time lol so it’s less of the spooky vibes and more of the “almost-spring” vibes
I’m so down for a Dark Academia vlog anytime of the year! 🖤
I would love to see you do a dark academia video. Girl every video you have made is fabulous.
OMG, I love the "overcoming trauma" ARC so much too! Best thing ever
Dark academia makes even more sense in winter for me honestly, so go for it!
I only read one book in January. Babel. 😁
But I did finally get a bookshelf and it looks so prettyyyyy. I'll be in Vegas in August for Def Con so if you have any books you'd like to sell, please let me know. I'll bring an extra backpack. 😆
Babel is so good and congrats on your bookshelf!
I'm halfway through Babel. Loving it!
@@lorifrederick2367 It is so good. I still think about it. 😭
i read 27 in january which is the most ive ever read in a month! and yes i love these cozy chitchat videos ♡♡
My January wrap up was amazing and I read 18 books. I gave the some of them 5 stars and I only gave one book 2.5 stars. It was so bad but overall January was an excellent month ☺
Honestly if I have to deal with 1 bad book for every 5 or so 5 stars, I’d call that a win!!
Hope she makes more videos like this, I love her looong and cozy videos, but even more if they’re about her talking to us about books she loved or hated 😅✨
Loved the cozy video and great job on the reads! I only finished 5 books in January. (college really screws with my reading time 😂)
I would definitely like it if you made a dark academia book video. I definitely agree that some people wait until autumn but since I’m a mood reader I wouldn’t waste the mood while I had it.
And if you decide to do it, I’d love to hear your thoughts on the books and maybe get some rec’s.😉
Anyway, whatever you do, I can’t wait to see! 🖤
That mug is probably everything!
Yessss to dark academia vlog😍. I need more dark academia recs
Ninth House was my best book of 2022! I'm also reading Hell Bent right now and dragging it out because I don't want it to end haha. Totally agree with your opinions on The Hunting Wives, found it pretty insufferable but it was such a quick read that I stuck through to the end anyway lol. Nesta all the way - I love her 🥺
I feel like dark academia in the winter suits it SO WELL!!! And honestly I am looking for more dark academia recs so I say BRING THE VIDEO ON!!!
I'm currently reading Legendborn book 2 and I think you'll really enjoy this series! Would love to see a dark academia video!
i loved this video - so chill & cosy. i watched it while catching up on some annotations & it was perfect.
Omg I’m drinking jasmine green tea too!!! It is also one of my favorites at the moment ☕️
I read 13 books, and it was an amazing reading month. Mostly five stars, a couple four, and one three. Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow was my top for the month, followed by Those Who Wait.
You should definitely do a Dark Academia reading vlog! I apologize if I missed it in any of your other videos if so, but have you read If We We’re Villains? That’s my favorite dark academia book, and all-time favorite book, actually. I would love to know your thoughts on it.
Yay for cozy wrap-ups!
I haven’t! But I definitely believe it should be on the dark academia tbr if I end up making a video!!
Please do a dark academia reading vlog! That would be so much fun! You should read A Deadly Education in it. It’s such a good series!
I really enjoyed Book of Night, glad you did too!
Part of the mug being off of the shelf in the background gave me so much anxiety lmao. I'm so glad that someone else gave The Hunting Wives 1 star, too. Sophie was absolutely unbearable to have to read about. And her motives were just so strange.
I think I was mentally exhausted after reading My Dark Vanessa, Candide and Bunny back to back to back so I only managed 5 books in January but I'm very exited for my reading year!
I would love to see a dark academia reading vlog!!’
Kindle unlimited faves that I think you will vibe with: these are my tip tops
Dark Night Golden Dawn
The Serpent and The wings of Night
River of Shadows
All fantasy romance but the world and the vibes are so good.
i read 9 books in January!! my favourite was The Atlas Six!!
YESSS!!! Finally positive thoughts on book of night.
greatly appreciate the books mentioned list. Helps a lot as a viewer.
I definitely love this style of video 🥰
I read 10 books in January which is a personal record and I’m proud of myself for it
I read 15 books in January, a couple were great and the rest were okay😀
Amazing video nice and cozy. I read 11 books in January just as you did I reread a few favorites. I reread the ACOTAR series the original 3, listened to the graphic audiobooks for them and it was such an experience. I'm onto ACOSF I'm going to physically read that and I'm going to bite the bullet and annote it as well super excited lol and I absolutely think you should do those dark academia vlogs ❤❤❤❤
I always thought you were pretty. But now I finished House of Hollow an hour ago and I can't stop thinking that you have the same features as the hollow girls, deep dark eyes and blond almost white hair
Love a chilled cosy update
Nothing better than books, blankets, and tea tbh
@@BrittanytheBibliophile too true
I'd love a dark acidemia vlog, never too much of it! ❤️❤️
I really enjoy your monthly wrap ups.
Also, I am watching you since 2018 when you did your booktubeathon tbr and only recently started commenting but I really love how your videos evolved!!!
Love dark academia books so would love a vlog!❤
Just found your channel and love this video!
Love the blanket and mug! Such cozy vibes! 💜📚
Jasmine green tea is the best!!!
Thank you for giving the review for The Book of Night. I haven't seen any positive reviews for that book, but everyone just describes it as boring and doesn't really give a premise. They only describe the magic system because it was the one thing that they liked, and so I have a good idea of what it looks like. But I never knew what the book itself was about, and you know what, it sounds really interesting.
I liked Book of Night too! I’m going to keep reading the series.
Great cozy wrap up video- I loved it!! 😊
I read 5 books 📚 1 5☆ and 4 4☆. The book that I read over and over is "The Stand-In" by Lily Chu 🙂 the audio book is awesome! I listen to it after I read sad books or books that I don't like but push through lol.
I'm thinking of having a dark acadamia spring myself so all for those kind of videos!
My favorite read was Crescent City House of Earth and Blood and I absolutely loved it!
I enjoyed the cozy wrap up! 🤩
I had a bit of a meh reading month. I reread four books and read four books for the first time. I enjoyed my rereads a lot which were The Empress of Salt Fortune, Earth: Giants, Golems, and Gargoyles (an anthology), The Priory of the Orange Tree, Toil and Trouble: 15 Tales of Women and Witchcraft. As for my new reads...there was only one I enjoyed which was the Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson. The Beauty of the Wolf by Wrey Delaney was a beauty and the beast retelling that focused more on the backstories to the beauty and the beast than the story we all know. It was beautifully written but so much so that the meaning was lost and as a result, everything in the book was underdeveloped and strangely paced. Stone Blind by Natalia Haynes was a retelling of the Medusa story (that is important to note. It is not Medusa's story, but the retelling of her story. And my problem here, is that it doesn't feel like it is her story at all. She is just playing a part.) I don't know if I can say my feelings on that book in a sentence. But I didn't like the execution of it or the way she chose to write it. I like what the story was, but how she went about it ruined it. Neon Druid, a Celtic fantasy anthology, I think I enjoyed. But it also was very forgettable.
I love this cosy video.
I'm ALL about the Dark Academia right now. Finished A Lesson in Vengeance and immediately picked up Ninth House (I was between Ninth House & Atlas Six) so I'm ALL for Dark Academia vlog 💀📚
I read 14 books in January, but I read fairly quickly. Since you like The Female of the Species, I think you'd like The Project by Courtney Summers. I'm not sure if you've read it yet, but it is on KU
Your/Brittanys review of The Hunting Wives kind of mirrored how I felt about the Quicksand tv series and why I dnf'd that show. It has a toxic friendship and hunting guns. It didn't tank but became incredibly popular and every time I hear that melancolic song pink sky, I get sad and uncomfortable. This January, I am reading Outlander book 1, and Ironheart on Marvel Unlimited.
You should do a video dark acadamia and read legendborn its one of my favorite books and its kinda dark acadamia.
Congrats on reading 8 books! Every time the new year comes around I'm never able to read in January, never fails Haha. Maybe next year lol
Honestly, that’s normally how I am! I think rereading tends to help me which is the only reason I ended up reading so much haha
@@BrittanytheBibliophile That's so funny because I started to re read City of Bones just to start somewhere lol🤣
I HATED the hunting wives. I don’t know why it makes me so happy to see someone else give that book 1 star 😅💁🏻♀️
I love when people hate the same books I do, it’s almost better than when someone loves the same books I do lmaooo
I read only 2 books in January and finished a 3rd one Feb 1
Out of those 2 books in January
Caraval: 5 stars
Legendary: 2 stars
Ah the letdown that is legendary after the stunning performance that is caraval, I feel for you. I still haven’t picked up Finale after all these years because of it, but I’ve heard amazing things about Once Upon a Broken Heart!
@@BrittanytheBibliophile heads up if you hate this trope too (in the second book or something they have cheating trope) I was so excited and blind bought the books. :( and this is something I am sensitive too. Thankfully was able to return the books and got full refund
i read 12 books in January and that a new personal record so im very proud of myself (even though like 4 of them were poetry books lmao)
I read 7 books, 2 five stars which were The stolen heir by holly black and Daisy Jones and the six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Great video, as you know I can’t read but I’m very interested in the Tomie books thanks for the wrap up.
I think you’d loooove junji ito, it’s mostly pictures anyways 😉
Mothing to ruin your mood like a bad thriller. My condolences😭
I need to give ninth house a second chance I didn’t get along with one on the first read. It was confusing and felt sloppy. But also I love dark academia. I did get hell bent. Again I wonder how much of it was listening to audiobook version as well.
I'm actually planning on reading A Court of Silver Flames this month. I'm one of those people you mentioned who don't want to read it because they don't like Nesta very much, but I'm hoping I like it as much as you do anyway. I haven't read much off my Kindle Unlimited, but my recommendations would be the Brutal Birthright series by Sophie Lark (mafia romance🍓) and Stay a Spell series by Juliette Cross (paranormal romance🔮). I adored both of them!
Nesta can definitely be a hard character to like since she’s so outwardly mean, but I hope you end up liking it anyways! & thank you for the KU Recs
@@BrittanytheBibliophile I just felt the need to come back here and tell you that I finished A Court of Silver Flames and I adored it so much. I even like Nesta now. I liked the other books in the series alright, but I love this book. This will probably be one of my most surprising books of the year in the best way for sure. To think I didn't want to read it.
You should definitely read the plated prisoner series on kindle unlimited one of my new all time favorite series it’s amazing and it’s similar to Sarah j Maas books similar aspects fantasy romance with fae and it also has a interesting character arc similar to heir of fire and a court of mist and fury anyways it’s super hood highly recommend it’s five books the fifth and final one doesn’t come out til June though!!
Sorry, self plug-Lazy Vampire Servant 2(Book one and Two), Nothing normal ever happens, Thousand dreams(recommend the extended version that’s on kindle)
Finally someone that like Book of Night. People have been so tasteless. I could write an essay in regards to why I think people didn't like it and it stinks lol
I've read 9 books this month if we're talking about January lol. I have picked up Ninth house by Leigh Bardugo twice and I cannot seem to get into it. I wasn't a big fan of Storm and Ruin either - I liked the story but felt I was missing something I don't know, guess I'm not a big Leigh Bardugo fan so far. You had me laughing about The hunting Wives, I got it from the book of the month a while back and I still haven't read it now I'm like eesh should I still read it ? lol we'll see. I just started to read One of us is lying since I've had it on my shelf for what seems like forever.
Snowed in the desert. Just plain weird.
I read 19 books in January
Congrats and well done to you on your amazing effort of 8 books for the last month of January tbr well done 👍 please stay safe and enjoy your reading 📖 love your mug prayers and thoughts for you and your boyfriend and your families love your family friend John ❤❤❤
Im not really a romantic reader so I was just wondering if you could do a top 10 recommendation I would really like to get in to it 🤔📖
Major slump haven’t picked up a book in maybe 2 months
Hey, I really love this video🥰 Just a question and I hope it's not rude: But what are those yellow stickers on the right side of your face? I am so confused 😶
I published three books all avaible on kindle
You're awesome. I love your channel! Have you read Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff?
I haven’t!
@@BrittanytheBibliophile You should definitely check it out!
I requested for my library to purchase a copy of Haunting Adeline and am a little scared the librarians will judge me lol The ladies there always comment that they like to read the books I get them to get 🙈The things I've heard about these books though (gun scene?) aha oh god. I think they know my brain better than most people 😅
I read 11 books but mostly are manga. 😂😂😂
I would love a dark academia video from you. Will it be cool for me to drop a few recommendations of dark academia that I don't see around as much? Usually, I would give you a few other ones because in dark academia I am focused more on having academia in the book. I love seeing a passion for it, or it as a drive, or a main motivation of the characters or story. I love it being so wrapped up in these characters' lives they don't know who they are outside it. But some of these people don;t consider it dark academia because it is not set on a school campus. And it feels like you may more leaning more towards the other kind. So here: These Violent Delights by Micah Nemerever. This one I haven't read, but it is about a toxic obsession/relationship between two men attending university. I don't really know much more. Sirens and Muses by Antonia Angress. Once again I have not read this, but this is very high up on my tbr. This follows art students attending an elite art school, and them being drawn into a web of rivarly of the art school itself, and the art world outside. And there is that question of whether they will find themselves a place in the art world and succeed in their own careers, and what are they willingly to sacrifice of themselves to be able to achieve it. The last one is one that I have read. This is The Furies by Katie Lowe. This book follows a girl after a family tragedy. Her grades soared after homeschooling herself and she gets an invitation to an exclusive school. Because of her commentary on art she gets invited to a secret society which was founded by the same woman who found the school and was burned as a witch. She falls into a toxic friendship/crush and things just spiral from there. And all the while, at the beginning at the book, it reveals that a girl has died. This is the finding out of who and how.
I actually have been hearing about These Violent Delights and have been considering buying it!! Thank you for these recommendations, I’ll be screenshotting it for future reference especially if I end up making a dark academia vlog!
🖤🖤✨
First 🎉
Hi
What are those yellow spots on your face?
_Tomie_ in Japanese should be pronounced 'toe-me-ay' 😉
I actually have been wondering this since I’d heard it pronounced both ways, I’ll correct it for the future, thank you 🤍
Fun Fact: I just saw your video and it motivated me to look up the stolen heir online since I wanted to read it SO bad and saw that it’s actually on a sale at my bookstore (20% on English hardcovers I think? But I was SO surprised) and took it as a sign and ordered it 😍 so thank youuu hehe 🤍 I also had an amazing reading month and LOVED seeing this video to get some inspiration for new reads!
