Thank you for this video. It was the definition of coziness. Your passion for all the books shone through and I felt like sharing a cup of coffee with a friendly village witch in her nice little cottage. ☕
This was the nicest compliment I’ve maybe ever received in my life???? I- Thank you 🥺❤️ I wish I could have all of you over for a cozy cup of coffee in my little cottage by a magical forest❤️❤️❤️
it’s so crazy to me how i fumbled upon your channel in September 21’ and now you’re my favorite youtuber!! you + a couple other channels pulled me out of my 7 year reading slump. i get SO excited everytime you post bc my TBR grows tremendously 😭 your personality and passion for reading is so full of life!! i enjoy watching your videos 😊
Hi! I also don't comment often, but since you seem to be a fan of Middle Grade, I just had to recommend A Face Like Glass by Frances Hardinge. I read it in 2018 and it became one of my all time favorite books. I have truly never read anything like it before.
The Shadow of the Wind is one of my absolute all time faourites. I was so sad when the author passed away a few summers ago, but seriously you should read it, once you do you will love it forever. He has a unique style of writing, the way he describes Barcelona, where everything happens, it's incredible. For everyone out there who speak Spanish, I highly recommend to read it Spanish. I read it when I was 17, and it was my second year in school here in Spain and even though my Spanish was still quite bad I enjoyed it immensely. This book is the reason why I became such an avid reader.
I had the same exact feeling about Under the Whispering Door! I had just finished Cerulean, and fell head over heels in love with the characters. Immediately, I hated Wallace. I was like, ehhhh. BUT....BUT! When I got over that and met the rest of the characters, I was all in. By the end, I was crying and mourning Wallace. It's so beautiful, and the redemption story is so satisfying. Loved it.
I LOVE what you are wearing today~! You're choosing some challenging reads this year and I can see how you are growing as a reader. This was bound to happen, no pun intended LOL. Yay for reading our back lists! I have hundreds of those.
You are so entertaining, funny and knowledgeable! I have learned so much from you as well as new genres to read. Look forward to every video, your reviews, ambiance, baking, shopping and updates. I especially love how you incorporate the seasons into the videos as well. You make so many people happy and smile...thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into these videos for us to enjoy. It does not go unnoticed... Be blessed!🙂
I’m currently reading both Bleak House and Amari and the Night Brothers. Bleak House is a beast so I can understand the intimidation factor - I’m only on around page 230 or so and I’ve been reading it since Christmas. Amari is obviously a much quicker read and has a “Harry Potter meets Men in Black” sort of thing. Enjoying both books so far. And as everyone else is saying, your bookshelves are everything! 😍 Thanks for all the great content 😊☕️
I'm adding a few of these to my list to read this year. My goal right now is to read two books a month but would love to read even more. I'm also a crafter so I split my time between crafting and reading. Thanks for sharing!
I’m 16 and just finished the first draft of a book I originally wrote at 11; it’s not likely that anything will come of mine but overall, I’m glad that I can say I’ve written a book. Good luck with your project🍀
I have been following you for a long time now and I really enjoy all your videos! Goal is to view most of them :p I was wondering, since you are such a fan of Middle Grade/Fantasy/Magic Realism, if you've read Edward Carey's Iremonger trilogy? I bought the first 2 books a couple years ago and I love them so much!!! I haven't seen it in you videos, so maybe I inspired you now to check it out ;) And a big thanks, because I am now more focused on Middle Grade books than before! I didn't even really knew it was a genre. But all the books you've read and recommend look so lovely and sound so great! I can't wait to read Greenglass House! Which isn't on your favorites list on GR :o I just sent you a friendrequest :)
I loved The Inheritance of Orqidea Divina! It was a beautiful story and had so many elements I love in story (mystery, romance, family, magic). I loved the audiobook as well as the physical reading experience. I recommend reading while listening to the audio, it makes the experience so much more immersive.
I enjoyed One Hundred Years of Solitude and Keeper of the Lost Cities series so much, Under the Whispering Door is a beautiful book 😍 I'm so happy you want to read some books I like too, wish you a wonderful reading experience
This is a great list. There are many here that I am interested in myself. This year I want to read more books that I have or been on my backlist than new releases. I haven't even looked into what is coming out, because I am not interested at the moment. I also want to read sequels that I did decide to follow during a series tbr thing I did to get me to read the first books of series that I have purchased. There are maybe four series, out of the seventeen, that I did decide to continue on there, so The Merciless One, Harrow the Ninth, Along the Saltwise Sea, and A Psalm of Storm and Silence are very high up on my list.
Dickens is my favorite author. I just completed Bleak House and loved it. What I do w classics is I have a reading plan of about 30 pages a day. I read 16 classics last year that way as I always have one going. I do read about 3 other books at the same time but my first reading everyday is my classic 30 pages approx. I’m also reading The Mistborn Trilogy as well and loving it. I’ve read Elantris also and loved it as well.
The Canterbury Tales! I read that in the “original” Middle English and it was Difficult. But I did enjoy it a lot and hope you do too! (Same with the Iliad!) I was going to comment on the Shadow of the Wind because I haven’t heard anyone talk about it being difficult to get into because I feel the same way! I have tried it multiple times and I just can’t seem to push through or keep going. And I wish I could because everyone talks about how amazing it is! Finishing the Mistborn series is a priority for me this year as well! But I never actually finished the first one. I put it down because I was reading it too quickly! But there’s so many books to read! Good luck with your reading! 💙✨☕️
I love that you’re still writing!!! I wrote some that’s not finished on the wattpad app for fun.. the app is for reader’s and those who like to write stories!!!! I may have finished one that I cut down short.. i definitely wanna buy notebooks and write short fast pace books that can gravitate towards different ages.. By the way you truly inspired me to buy pax and pages and co books I bought one of both the book series.. my friend Karen has my books I have bought these past two months so the more I read the more I wanna buy!!!!
Hello Alexandra Roselyn, good afternoon! I liked this video so much!, I haven't seen it before till yesterday. Congratulations for your work on RUclips about reviews of great books in English. You have so many books in your private library, I have about 60 books in English at home. I also want to say the next: you have a good voice/ diction and you are very beautiful wearing hats in black color. I send you a hug 🤗 💕 💐. Greetings and blessings 🙏 from Sonora, México. PD. My native language is Spanish and I'm learning English on my own.
I love that description of Charles Dickens, I feel the same way. His character work is superb. I feel like he does this for all of his books, so if Bleak House doesn’t work for you, try another one with a different plot.
☕️ Omg I am so excited you are writing a book. 📕 have so many on my list this year that are in common with yours! My sis and I are buddy reading Under the Whispering Door this month, and I also hope to read Ariadne, 100 years of solitude, and start Keeper of the lost cities! Last year the Mistborn trilogy, Orquidea Divina, and Amari were some of my top faves so I hope you enjoy! ☺️
Found your page on another video I was watching and so glad I did. You have me wanting to read books I didn't know of or thought I would like that type. New subscriber here while drinking coffee. ☕☕
It’s so good to have you back! Shadow of the wind is a fantastic book, but it spans years and is episodic so you do have to settle in for the long haul! Ariadne and Norwegian Wood I haven’t heard much that is positive so I’ll just leave that right there. Cloud Atlas. It is confusing! I had to listen to a discussion about it while I was reading it in order to make sense of what I was reading! BeastsoEC was nothing like I thought it would be. It’s a slow story with an endearing main character but the narrator is in a journey of self discovery and it spans years - it’s just different. I just finished Beloved, and Lorna Doone. Both were an emotional wrestling match but I’m so glad I’ve read them.
You will not be disappointed with Under the Whispering Door, it's awesome, I absolutely loved it. You really need to read it like asap. And Amari and the Night Brothers is one of my top favorites, you should probably read it soon since the sequel Amari and the Great Game comes out in August.
OMG! For the first time, I actually prepared a cup of tea to watch your video... and it was perfect! Your thumbnail is exceedingly pretty, I love that corner of your library as well as that chair (😍), I' m happy you got to enjoy a bit of your tea as well and I pick up waaaay too much recommendations from you. So much so, I should just spend my whoke time reading! This was a perfect Sunday afternoon, thanks to you! ☕
I just read Norwegian Wood and it was my first Murakami too. It was a heavy read but it definitely made me want to read more of his work…you should go for it!
Completely agree for The Shadow of The Wind ! There is a slow moment (ok, 1/4th of the book, it's a chunky part) but one it gets to the last fourth it gets amazing :)
I have had the same thing with The Shadow of the Wind and I felt soooo guilty for never finishing it!!! I’m going to try and push through too this year! ❤️
I’ve just started Sabriel - you should TOTALLY check this series out. It’s so well written, the main character Sabriel is searching for her missing father who is a necromancer - in charge of keeping the dead DEAD and also sending all the monsters and evil into the death realm. That all goes wrong when he goes missing and Sabriel must go on a quest into the old kingdom to find him and learn how to become a necromancer too! So EPIC! xx
A book I would like to read year is Noble House by James Clavell. It was brought in conversation by my parents for a couple of years and I was interested what is all about.
I'm just going to read what I can in 2022 and the other day I was overwhelmed with the amount of books I had and we all have good days and bad days whether we want to read or not but I'm not letting the stress get to me, I want 2022 to be a nice relaxing year of reading 😍😍😍😍
ok but RELATABLE because last night I had a stack of books and couldn't decide what to read, became so overwhelmed, and then just watched RUclips hahahaha
David Mitchell is my all time favourite author. Cloud Atlas is fab, and if you like that, you must read The Bone Clocks. He's quite influenced by Murakami to my mind, so you've got a great year ahead of you. Also: 100 Years of Solitude is gorgeous. My son's middle name is Gabriel, partly because of Marquez, and Bleak House is sumptuous. I would suggest a good Autumnal read because of the atmosphere. BBC did a marvelous adaption of it maybe 12 years ago. Highly recommend that too. I'm so excited to see what you think, some of my favourite authors in this list for sure!
Hi Lexi! Me being Greek, books of Greek mythology were the first books I read in my life 😆😅 Thanks for suggesting LORE!! I will definitely need to pick that one up! 🧚♀🦄✨
@@alexandraroselyn Actually I have many favorites! But let’s try to make a top 3 of them! 1. The Judgement of Paris, 2. The abduction of Persephone 3. The Expedition of the Argonauts! I loved also the song of Achilles and Circe! And have my hopes high also for Ariadne! Let’s see! 😊
I’m in the midst, book 4, on keepers of the lost cities. Whew it’s hard but trust me so worth it!!!! And girl you have to read Under the Whispering Door!! You can do it, and so worth it!!!!
I would recommend for you The Good Wife of Bath by Karen Brooks! It's historical fiction and a retelling of The Wife of Bath in the Canterbury Tales but from the wife's perspective! It has the vibes of other historical retellings like Circe and The Witch's Heart but not fantasy. I loved it.
All the books on your list is amazing and now all of them are also on my tbr. Also we all love your set up and if someone doesn't then they are wrong !!!!!
Just recently got in to You Tube [I know] and found your channel. From one book lover to another THANK YOU for some ideas on new books to read. Cloud Atlas was on my list last year and it's sitting on the teetering pile that is my night stand. Hoping to read it this year! I do have a suggestion, I absolutely LOVE a series called The Chronicles of St. Mary's by Jodi Taylor. Now this may sound like some sort of Catholic story but its totally not! And I quote "is about time travel-but please, that term is never used: the tea soaked disaster magnets at St. Mary's Institute for Historical Research, an adjunct of the University of Thirsk, conducts investigations of major historical events in contemporary time". It's hilarious and I really enjoy the spinoff series too.
girlie i am in the exaaaact position you are with the iliad, i was really into the first 100 pages but set it down, and i need to fully commit to it this year!
I just finished Amari and the Night Brothers! It was so good I went ahead and preordered the next. 💙💙 Next I’m definitely going to try House in the Cerulean Sea and Lore
For everyone liking Greek myth retellings specifically Madeline miller's style, please read a Norse myth retelling called the witch's heart! It's so good and I cried a little bit reading it. I can't stop recommending it to everyone who wants a female character focused myth retelling
Thank you for this video. It was the definition of coziness. Your passion for all the books shone through and I felt like sharing a cup of coffee with a friendly village witch in her nice little cottage. ☕
This was the nicest compliment I’ve maybe ever received in my life???? I-
Thank you 🥺❤️ I wish I could have all of you over for a cozy cup of coffee in my little cottage by a magical forest❤️❤️❤️
ahhh please do MORE VLOGS! you always have the coziest vlogs ever!
The middle grade books you read is always super cute
Once and Future Witches. I have fallen in love with Alix Harrow. ☕
it’s so crazy to me how i fumbled upon your channel in September 21’ and now you’re my favorite youtuber!! you + a couple other channels pulled me out of my 7 year reading slump. i get SO excited everytime you post bc my TBR grows tremendously 😭 your personality and passion for reading is so full of life!! i enjoy watching your videos 😊
You should definitely carry on filming in that spot. The background is lovely and you look much more comfortable 😊

I can never get over how BEAUTIFUL your bookshelves are!! And also can I just say that every time you post a video, it brings a smile to my face😁
omgsh thank you so much! I like em too haha :)

I saw you talking about the first book in keeper of the lost cities and am now on book 7 😅 it only gets better!
I love that you have older and lesser known books included in your list! Well-rounded list!
Thanks Nicole!! 🥰❤
I had the same exact feeling about Under the Whispering Door! I had just finished Cerulean, and fell head over heels in love with the characters. Immediately, I hated Wallace. I was like, ehhhh.

I gave Under the whispering door five stars. It was stunning. The message stayed with me x
I loved your idea for classics picks from a jar. I think you should also have a banned book titles jar!
My new favourite youtuber\booktuber! Love the cozy calm magical vibes
Welcome welcome!! Your presence is benevolence to our soul
Thank you! :)
For the García Marquez book, I highly recommend you make a family tree as you read so you can keep track of the characters. It’s an amazing book.
Oooh I just read Shadow of the Wind and loved it :) and I've started Under the Whispering Door and am really enjoying it! ☕
☕️Enjoyed your selections!!!!

I love ur bookshelves! I love organizing my own books also, but I think I do it every other month. Just to keep the dust off them!😍💙
I felt the same way about the shadow of the wind!!! But so unbelievably grateful I read it because it’s BEAUTIFUL!!!
The Canterbury Tales! I read that in the “original” Middle English and it was Difficult. But I did enjoy it a lot and hope you do too! (Same with the Iliad!)

Hello Alexandra Roselyn, good afternoon! I liked this video so much!, I haven't seen it before till yesterday. Congratulations for your work on RUclips about reviews of great books in English.

I am so interested in Bleak House, but am intimidated by it. Can't wait for your review!
My copy of Norwegian Wood just came in today. I'm also planning on reading it this year.
☕️ Omg I am so excited you are writing a book. 📕 have so many on my list this year that are in common with yours!

It's good but the house in the cerulean sea is amazing
So many of these are also on my list to read this year! ☕️
☕ I love the setup of this video! Great list of books! For classics, I'm hoping to finally read Pride and Prejudice this year.
Just great to wake up and have a cup hot java and see you back at it again...:)..Love your reviews and content as a whole..def one of my FAVS !!
Loved this video 😍 ☕️
It’s so good to have you back!
Shadow of the wind is a fantastic book, but it spans years and is episodic so you do have to settle in for the long haul!
Ariadne and Norwegian Wood I haven’t heard much that is positive so I’ll just leave that right there.

I’d love to see a video on how / what you annotate. I’d love to start doing it as I start reading classics but I’m always curious what/how to!
In my dreams I hold I knife was one of my favorite books for 2021! You’re going to love it!
I just read Norwegian Wood and it was my first Murakami too. It was a heavy read but it definitely made me want to read more of his work…you should go for it!
Oh I love hearing that!! Thank you! And I'm glad you liked it!!

Requesting The Brave immediately! That sounds amazing and I’ve never heard of it!
I really want to read The Rib King, The Five Wounds, The Sentence and Somebody’s Daughter, this year.
All the books on your list is amazing and now all of them are also on my tbr. Also we all love your set up and if someone doesn't then they are wrong !!!!!
All of Us Villains is AMAZING!! I read it early January and I could not put it down, an easy 5/5 for me
I would automatically buy your book no questions asked lol
The Shadow of the Wind is my all time favorite book ever. I recommend it to everyone.
Just recently got in to You Tube [I know] and found your channel. From one book lover to another THANK YOU for some ideas on new books to read. Cloud Atlas was on my list last year and it's sitting on the teetering pile that is my night stand. Hoping to read it this year! I do have a suggestion, I absolutely LOVE a series called The Chronicles of St. Mary's by Jodi Taylor. Now this may sound like some sort of Catholic story but its totally not! And I quote "is about time travel-but please, that term is never used: the tea soaked disaster magnets at St. Mary's Institute for Historical Research, an adjunct of the University of Thirsk, conducts investigations of major historical events in contemporary time". It's hilarious and I really enjoy the spinoff series too.
I want to read The Mortal Instruments and the Grisha trilogy this year as I haven’t read these yet! I also have Ariadne and Amari on my TBR as well.
girlie i am in the exaaaact position you are with the iliad, i was really into the first 100 pages but set it down, and i need to fully commit to it this year!
And it was so good too! …but bestie it’s lonngggg hahaha we need to finish it!!
☕️. I like the study table.
I still have to buy LORE! So excited! 😍😍
I’m quite eager to read Cloud Atlas as well
Love your haircut!
Thank you! 😊❤️
Mistborn is one of my all time favorites. It's so fantastic.
I just finished Amari and the Night Brothers! It was so good I went ahead and preordered the next. 💙💙 Next I’m definitely going to try House in the Cerulean Sea and Lore
For everyone liking Greek myth retellings specifically Madeline miller's style, please read a Norse myth retelling called the witch's heart! It's so good and I cried a little bit reading it. I can't stop recommending it to everyone who wants a female character focused myth retelling
