      I love that you put in Mysteries and thrillers in this video. I've been waiting. But I also enjoyed many other of your recommendations like bittersweet. I read a similar book and should review it on my channel with bitter sweet. I wish I could remember the name. I enjoyed your video. PS I don't think you should read one by one. Many booktubers say it's a dud. Aloha

    Love that you mentioned beautiful boy and tweak! I learned a lot from those books as well.
    You should make a video on classics. :)

    for a historical novel with a little bit of romance, i so so so recommend “the things we cannot say” by kelly rimmer!! such a good read, it was unpredictable (for me), romantic, and devastating. i think it would be worth a read :)
