15:43 If yall are into sci-fi and mysteries, I would HIGHLY recommend The Spare Man by Mary Robinette Kowal. It’s a murder mystery on a space cruise, the main character is disabled and has a service dog, and is full of all sorts of twists and turns which kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time.
At 14:50, there are 224 books. There are 7 books in each book grouping and 32 in total which makes 224!!! Awesome build, by the way. I love ur guys' videos
15:25 my favorite so far might be Song of Achilles if it means anything! I cried so much at some parts and many scenes still stick to me this day. Low-key changed my perception of life after tho
That's my favorite too! The feelings it stirred in me were something else. I absolutely adore the book and gave it as a gift to my dad to share the experience. After reading the book I also listened to the song, achilles come down, and just the idea of it being sung by patroclus and agamemmnon singing through it, it's so good. Pulls the heartstrings for sure!
some ideas for future build for future video! - 4 house in a neighborhood, that represents the 4 season (spring, summer, fall and winter)! - a public library with an outdoor sitting! - each house with different packs by spinning the wheel while being blindfold! - each room is filled with build hacks! - each room represent one things that you like as a center piece! (just as an idea for future video guys, not forcing btw!!!😸)
The seasons one sounds so fun! Or 4 townhouses with each theme would be so cool, that way you can see them all next to each other to contrast the aesthetics.
One of my all time favourite books is The Kingdoms by Natasha Pulley. Surprisingly thematically to this video, the book is set in an alternate history where Napoleon won in the Napoleonic wars, and the main character goes to work in a lighthouse! There's supernatural-or-maybe-sci-fi-who-knows time travel, there's romance, there's spooky abandoned lighthouses, there's sailing... really an excellent book. ALL of her books are amazing to be honest with you, but The Kingdoms is the first that sprung to mind (probably because of the lighthouse build!)
I don't know about you guys, but am I the only one manifesting an Arcane inspired dorm build here ??!!!!! With two floors and a basement, first floor for Zaun, the second for Piltover, the basement for who knows what (don't wanna spoil anything), a room for every single caracter, a tree house also, maybe the Last drop as the kitchen... you know (quite a big fan tbh). The lighthouse's absolutly incredible btw, but yeah, you know, like, ARCANE !! PLEEEEEAAAAAAAASE !!!!
You know it's a good day when caryn & Connie post. Also your top 5 items in every build is... 1- Books 2- Mugs 3- plants 4- string lights 5- more mugs..
15:25 I'm pretty sure almost everyone has read this book, but The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller opened my third eye. I love that book so much! As well as Pachinko by Min Jin Lee and Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao. I finished Iron Widow so quickly cause I was way too eager to find out what happened next lol
A fun video idea would be to use all of the items you DESPISE in a house using your favorite wallpapers/floors. Basically a dream home with nothing you enjoy in it
I'm late to the party but "The Starless Sea" is such a special book!! It's like a love letter to book lovers/readers (and cats!) And the prose is so mystical ❤ I'll never stop recommending it
Three books that I love with all my heart is “if you could see the sun” “I hope you don’t see this” and “this time it’s real” all are romantic but I found them relatable and realistic they all don’t have any spice whatsoever and are great for a quick romance obsession. I also follow the author for any more updates. If you aren’t looking for romance I highly recommend “good girls guide to murder” series or “blood-carver” they are both amazing however the second book for the book carver series doesn’t release until next year march, also most of Holly Jackson’s work I haven’t read but have heard great reviews from. I generally turn towards “underrated books” TikTok’s or RUclips shorts for more books.
Reading recommendation: Ella Minnow Pea! It’s my favorite book ever, about a town that worships the sentence “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” It’s really well done!
15:26 three books that got me out of slumps becuase they were so good 1) A prayer for the wild built - Becky Chambers (short, gentle, sci-fi) 2) The city of dreaming books - Walter Moers (book loving fantasy world, illustrated adventure, very lemony snicket vibes) 3) A company of friends - Kathryn Moon (spicy, poly, monster, circus, romance)
the sequel to prayer for wild built is the sweetest book I have ever read!!! Chambers really builds on the lore and explores the world of Panga in interesting ways, I realllly hope there are more than 2 books in this series soon !!!!
My favorite book series is Magnus Chase! It’s a part of the Percy Jackson series, but it’s a separate book series entirely! I do recommend reading Percy Jackson and hero of Olympus before you read these, but they’re really good and based off Norse mythology. The Percy Jackson books are based off of Greek.
My favorite series right now is the Discworld series. It's intimidating with 54 books, but they're broken into arcs for different characters, and it's super fun to see them popping up or interacting with each other. With my favorite character being Death (who talks in all caps and loves cats), I get to see him in every book, but a really fun and simple one to start with is Equal Rites.
omg same I love Discworld and my favourite character is Death! Hogfather would be such a fun book to read over Christmas. Also, huge agree on Equal Rites, I think you could pretty much start anywhere and not be too lost but Equal Rites is a good story and doesn't assume you really know anything about the setting of Discworld. I also really enjoyed Guards! Guards! and I think that'd be a good place to start too.
I'm going to make a huge confession: I'm reading them in order and have only gotten as far as Wyrd Sisters. I've already re-read the same five I already hit just because I enjoyed them so much I wasn't ready to leave. (I might have re-read the first two an extra time because Rincewind is hardcore a comfort character, especially when he straightmans Two Flower.) BUT! I have watched the Hogfather adaptation, and from what I can tell, it feels a little too 'Terry Pratchett's humor' to throw at someone as a first introduction to the already high-fantasy meta of Discworld. But I'm just a casual consumer, not a professional reviewer, who hasn't even gotten that far into the series. I do know that I'm going to see it to the end, because I heard it gets more severe as Pratchett has a better foothold on the universe and how it grew past the parody it was meant to be. And I look forward to seeing more Death. "I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I COULD MURDER A CURRY" just signed me onto the series for life.
Personally I recommend either Guards Guards or the Wee Free Men, purely because Wee Free Men was my introduction to the series when I was little, but there really isn't a wrong answer for where to start. I'm re-reading the Hogfather right now for the holiday season and while I think it's fantastic, I feel like a lot of it would be lost on someone who isn't already pretty familiar with the setting and characters being explored. Not to say it wouldn't still be good, of course! But yeah Discworld reigns supreme lol
I'd say a good place to start is with the guards series or even later with going postal. But definitely not with the first book (as much as I like Rincewind)
i can see the moment you put a bunch of different white painted chairs at the counter to decide which style, but i will say it did look cute in an eclectic way to have some varied chairs, speaks to a more small business vibe of the cafe!!
The Martian by Andy Weir is one of my favorite books! Like, reread once a year kind of books. It's smart and funny but also has heart and science. It's smart but not brainey- if that makes sense. Thanks for all you do! I enjoy watching you two build in the sims so much more than actually playing the sims!
15:30 My favorite book of all time is “The Night Circus” by Erin Morgenstern. It’s a pretty quick read, but the imagery and world building is absolutely enchanting for me. I read it for the first time in middle school and I think it changed my brain chemistry because I’ve dreamt of going to La Cirque des Reves ever since, and will always be devastated that it’s in fact not real. Fortunately I can visit whenever I want by picking the book back up!
15:26 I cannot possibly decide on one single favorite book ever, so I'll name my top three: - Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir is a funny, super well written sci-fi book about a man who wakes up alone on a spaceship and can't remember anything about his past at first. He starts figuring out why he's there and how he can get back to Earth alone, and ends up making some really cool discoveries in space. This book genuinely made me excited about science even though I've always been a humanities girl! - The long way to a small, angry planet by Becky Chambers is a lovely book about a crew of various kinds of aliens on a long journey in space. The found family vibes are excellent and the worldbuilding is insane, and this is what I would call science fiction for the girls and gays! - Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel is a memoir in the form of a graphic novel. Alison is an iconic comic artist who is well known for depicting the lives of the lesbian community in her comics, which she started in the 80s. Her memoir has her gorgeous art style going for it, but it also tells the story of her youth in a really beautiful way - especially centering on the complicated relationship between her and her father.
My favorite book is in a series! The first one is called "The Way of Kings," which is a high action-packed fantasy book that can keep you interested for hours. I totally recommend it
im in the middle of my finals and idk how and why but yalls voices help me become productive so i always loop your streams and vids while i work 🥹🥹 thank you for this !!
Book recs: Gideon the ninth, the raven cycle, six of crows, and if you want an endless supply of books I recommend Brandon Sanderson and his endless stream of books
Dont know what type of books you like but I love The Raven Cycle so much!! The writing is freaking amazing, and so thought through, so detailed, so many layers and foreshadowing and meanings. Also The Song of Achilles if you want a book to completely destroy you, you are going to weep so bad
@itzthedot same! I feel like this is such an underestimated and overlooked series when it's really good, better than some of the books that gained popularity through tiktok or ig
@@aniazizka2792 I read her “Dreamer Trilogy” (the spinoff with Ronan), and it was pretty good, too. I prefer the Raven Cycle more, but it does talk more about Ronan’s talent and family.
@itzthedot yeah I really want to read that too! But for some reason not every book from that series was translated to polish (yet) and books in original languages tend to be quite expensive so haven't gotten around to that yet :(
15:30 I really recommend "The Sphinx" by Robin Cook. It's about a female egyptologist who, after breaking up with her boyfriend, decides to go to Egypt and further investigate a mysterious artifact she found at her workplace... A true gem!
If we are going Egypt, would recommend Kane Chronicles siblings who travel the world to save the universe, with Egyptian magic and myths thrown into the mix. Perfect for them
15:26 My top two favourite books are A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini, which is a heartbreaking story about two women that like in Afghanistan during the late 1900s and have to live by societal expectations. The other book I HEAVILY recommend is the The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, which is about a group of aged care residents that solve murder cases through a series of emotional and British humoured events. Hope this helps!
Ok! I read this book earlier this year, it’s written by Ruta Sepetys. The title is Salt to the Sea and it is FANTASTIC! If you guys haven’t already read it I 100% recommend it.
If I had to pick a few favorite books to recommend, I think I'd go with these. -Song of Achilles -Six of Crows and the sequel Crooked Kingdom -This is How You Lose the Time War
omg actually stop. First of all, an assumption: hello fellow queer person! And second of all, I think about This is How You Lose the Time War and Song of Achilles all the time. They were both so beautiful and I have lent This is How You Lose the Time War to like 4 people I'm obsessed. (Basically, we're best friends now, just FYI)
My favourite book is a series, and if you somehow haven’t read Stormlight Archives… well, you should. The absolute peak of modern fantasy. And the 5th book is coming out in 3 days!
14:54 There were 217 books... sorry I was curious! 😂 There are 7 books on that item... they placed 31... so 217. 😅 This is only when they had that group of books and not the stacks.
BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS TIME! my FAVORITE book series of all time is the locked tomb!!! I've been obsessed with them for almost two years now they're everything to me!! my favorite novellas to help with your reading slump are the deep, the six deaths of the saint, floralinda and the forty-flight tower (by the same author as tlt!), the black god's drums, the salt grows heavy, and this is how you lose the time war🫶. also LOVED the build i wish i could go eat there sooo bad
book rec!! the lunar chronicles, its basically a futuristic retelling of old princess/grimm brothers stories but its so interesting, the first book is Cinder and shes a CYBORG
for the book recommendation: i don't know if you've already read this series cuz it's a little older, but Inkheart and its sequels are some of my favourite books of all time. It's a wonderfully written (sort of urban and then later on high) fantasy series and so immersive
Amazing reads: The Song of Achilles - Madeline Miller Circe - Madeline Miller Do Not Say We Have Nothing - Madeleine Thien Parable of the Sower - Octavia E Butler This is How You Lose the Time War - Amal El-Mohtar
15:30 some of my favs 😍 - There Will Come a Darkness by Katy Rose Pool - Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir - Heaven Official’s Blessing (Tiān Guān Cì Fú) by MXTX - Dark Room Etiquette by Robin Roe Omg there are so many more but I’m too lazy to put them
Nice job typing the word etiquette btw, I just posted a comment about it too, and one of my favorite books has the word in it 💀 it took multiple tries to get right lol
My favourite book, or more like a book series, is the Breadwinner or also known as Parvana i think? I really loved everything about it! And it really made me look into Afghanistan after..
My favorite book is the invisible life of Addie La’rue. I’m a generally very picky about what I read but this book is one of very few that has gotten a perfect 10/10 for me. The writing well done and perfectly paced, the characters are very well flushed out and deep. It is a fantasy with a touch of bitter sweet romance and it is definitely worth your time. Also the audiobook so pretty good too if you’re interested :))
15:30 My favorite book is Piranesi by Susanna Clarke! It's, to date, the only piece of fiction to make me cry with an emotion other than sadness! It's a very beautiful book, both in the description of the environment and the message it conveys. Cannot recommend it enough!
If you want to read a series: The Kane Chronicles written by Rick Riordan (if you love mythology) or The Lunar Chronicles written by Marissa Meyer (if you love fantasy or sci-fi)
this video srsly helped me snap back to reality. i just watched some analog horror and it freaked me out to the point where i got pure chills. this video helped so much. i love you guys so much!
My all time favorite book is Under the Whispering Door by T.J. Klune. It’s an incredibly cozy book about the MC going to the afterlife, and it’s so sad and so cozy. Definitely read it with some tea. It’s not for everyone, (IT WILL MAKE YOU CRY A LOT) but I LOVE it. And it has a lot of queer elements without being the main focus. It’s my favorite and taught me a lot about many ideas and concepts.
I was coming down here to recommend T.J. Klune as well! Whispering Door was fantastic but I personally adored The House in the Cerulean Sea (and its sequel). All three are 🤌
I used to work at a historic lighthouse! I wish there had been a cafe in there instead of 100+ steps that I had to climb multiple times a day! Great work you guys!!
My favorite book is probably Slewfoot by Brom! It's really good if you're into light horror and especially female rage. It's set in the time of the puritans and follows a girl who develops a connection with a woodland god. I read the entire book in two days lol. Probably not the best rec for the winter season but if you're ever in the mood for something creepy it's perfect!
According to my rushed calculations ther are 217 books on the cirkle shelf: 31 sets of 7 books Plus the 4 books on the desk makes a total of 221 books sooo... not 500 Hope that helps!
Book recommendations: a tree grows in Brooklyn The maid Moriarty by Anthony Horowitz The Appeal One more… The wild girls by Phoebe Morgan (Special thanks to my book nerd aunt)
15:24 Its an unfinished trilogy, but I absolutely ADORE The Kingkiller Chronicles. The first book is called The Name of the Wind and the writing prose is so poetic at times. Haven't been able to find a book that meets my standards ever since 😅
I love this series but could never recommend it because I'm almost positive Patrick Rothfuss will fake his own death before it's published. Proceed at your own risk 😭
@ashlinholbrook5840 Omg what, that's wild 😮 I'll start with the first book and see from there. Not the first time I've started a book series only for it to never finish 🙃 *cough* Night World *cough*
@@jadef8 yeah it's unfortunate, but I hope! There's his shorter things for other characters that have been published and the prologue was released for the final book!
@@mistersparkle9005 Good to know for the other characters! I hope the last book will be published and you'll get to read it so you're not stuck in reader's hell 😭
15:24 For book recommendations, I'd defiantly recommend the Ms. Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children series!! It's sort of like a fantasy, sci-fi, horror combination, but the plot is super detailed and thought out! And there's a tone of interesting characters to enjoy! It's a young adult series, but I think it's enjoyable for most ages!!
For book recommendations, I recommend “The Girl who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making”. It’s a series as well, and it’s a super interesting read! It is teeeechnically a childrens chapter book but i think it’s a banger
Oh my god!!!! This is my favorite series of all time but I feel like I never see anyone talking about it! Have you read any other Catherynne M Valente books? I absolutely adore Radiance
yess!!! i haven't read the book in a while but i was listening to the music recently and its so good. n i feel like its a book where u get to think a lot about how different everyones individual perspectives must be
A book that is both my favorite and changed my life would be The First To Die At The End, but it's a prequel to They Both Die At The End and the THIRD book is coming out next year IM SO EXCITED!!! also, another book would definitely be The Song Of Achilles, now that's a book that changed my brain chemistry
Oh my God yessssssss as if I needed another reason to talk about these books! These are my must reads in no particular order- - Half a Soul - The House in the Cerulean Sea - The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea - Folk of the Air trilogy - Six of Crows duology - Raybearer duology - Mistborn trilogy - Poppy War trilogy (this one is much darker than any of the other books on this list. You might want to look up trigger warnings as well.) I’ve been in the worst reading slump too. But I swear I haven’t been able to stop thinking about these books. I hope you read them and I hope you enjoy!!! Great work girls☺️
My favourite book series of all time is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, and the non-official sequel "And Another Thing..." by another author I forget the name atm. Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, also by Douglas, is a book that everytime I finish makes me go "huh?" and the Netflix series "Dirk Gently" has very little to do with the book's story but is one of my favourite watches of all media
15:18 Yes!!! Same here. My book count for the past four years has been over 100 each year. My book goals now pertain to reading more of certain genres rather than just a total amount.
For book recommendations I love six of crows, desparoux, and the land of stories series it’s a bit less mature but I love them nonetheless!!! Love ur vids too💜💜(also if you two do make a list of ur most used items u should do a build where you can’t use them)
Book recommendation here, one of my favourites of all time is called Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. I found this book at my school library when I was in middle school and ended up never taking it back because I loved it so much. It’s a bit sad but also cathartic reading about a girl healing herself over a school year after a traumatic event. Highly recommend. Loved the build girls!

2:12 Hi, I'm a lighthouse nerd! The top part of a lighthouse is called the lantern room.
please tell me why you choose to spend your time like that, cool fact tho!👍👍😸😺🐱
AAAAA I love people like you that have really strange (in a good way) interests. I love learning things for people like you 🫶🫶
oh hey, me too!!! what’s your favourite light house fact or anecdote?
Omg, I love this comment section😂😂😂
@@anna4939i know NOTHING about lighthouses, whats YOUR favorite that you love to tell people?
15:43 If yall are into sci-fi and mysteries, I would HIGHLY recommend The Spare Man by Mary Robinette Kowal.

They need to read the Twin Crowns
6:57 Whalebert is such a SEA-EO
That was smooth ngl
Came here to see if the joke had been made. You did not disappoint.
At 14:50, there are 224 books. There are 7 books in each book grouping and 32 in total which makes 224!!! Awesome build, by the way. I love ur guys' videos
Lol as soon as they asked I went back and started counting as well… 😂
Nooo I only counted the ones on the shelves 😱
@@michaelateplarkova3271ahh so did I. I thought when I saw the number 224 that I forgot how to add.
+9 in and on the table
as soon as they said it i went looking for the comment , thank you
It's GORGEOUS and so cozy! Maybe the Seabiscuit Cafe?
14:50 "...You told me to ballpark. I swung." This now lives in my brain, thank you
Also TWO VIDEOS IN TWO DAYS? You guys are spoiling us.
You have such a great account name ❤

I see you everywhere! Very good taste, my friend
15:25 my favorite so far might be Song of Achilles if it means anything! I cried so much at some parts and many scenes still stick to me this day. Low-key changed my perception of life after tho
That's my favorite too! The feelings it stirred in me were something else. I absolutely adore the book and gave it as a gift to my dad to share the experience.

Pulls the heartstrings for sure!
my favorite as well!!
some ideas for future build for future video!
- 4 house in a neighborhood, that represents the 4 season (spring, summer, fall and winter)!
- a public library with an outdoor sitting!
- each house with different packs by spinning the wheel while being blindfold!
- each room is filled with build hacks!
- each room represent one things that you like as a center piece!
(just as an idea for future video guys, not forcing btw!!!😸)
The first two idea are my favorite 😍
The each house different packs being blindfolded. Have one of them try to instruct them while they build it blindfolded. Maybe also a time limit.
If you're in their discord server, we also have a video suggestion channel as well!!
I'll add
- Each room is a different tarot card
The seasons one sounds so fun! Or 4 townhouses with each theme would be so cool, that way you can see them all next to each other to contrast the aesthetics.
since you guys watched arcane, i’d love to see a build inspired by it! maybe piltover vs zaun apartments? or a jinx-inspired hideout! 😍
THIS PLEASE
absouletly

What about the university shower?!
And the urns!! ❤🎉

15:25 I'm pretty sure almost everyone has read this book, but The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller opened my third eye. I love that book so much! As well as Pachinko by Min Jin Lee and Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao. I finished Iron Widow so quickly cause I was way too eager to find out what happened next lol

I'll admit... I'm curious as to how that's done
I second this!! It’s a quick read and absolutely unique. Got me out of a reading slump a couple years ago!
This looks so interesting! I looked it up and it is now on my tbr!
oh yeah that's a really interesting story!
Yes!!! I read it in school and thought it was so creative
15:26 three books that got me out of slumps becuase they were so good 1) A prayer for the wild built - Becky Chambers (short, gentle, sci-fi) 2) The city of dreaming books - Walter Moers (book loving fantasy world, illustrated adventure, very lemony snicket vibes) 3) A company of friends - Kathryn Moon (spicy, poly, monster, circus, romance)
the sequel to prayer for wild built is the sweetest book I have ever read!!! Chambers really builds on the lore and explores the world of Panga in interesting ways, I realllly hope there are more than 2 books in this series soon !!!!
*It's Psalm for the Wild Built (i think)
im sick rn and watching yall be sick too made me giggle lmao hope yall feeling better now
My favorite book series is Magnus Chase! It’s a part of the Percy Jackson series, but it’s a separate book series entirely! I do recommend reading Percy Jackson and hero of Olympus before you read these, but they’re really good and based off Norse mythology. The Percy Jackson books are based off of Greek.
TRIALS OF APOLLOOOOOO
Yesss I love those books!!!
Eyyyyyyy!!! The demigods have gathered, I see.
Love love love Magnus Chase
Love to see some Magnus Chase love!
Fever dream builds are the best. No worrying about anything, simply vibes out of your mind.
I would have to mention Eragon, it has a poetic ending and the four part series is a wonderfully fantastic fantasy with very solid characters.
I’m reading the second one right now!!
My favorite series right now is the Discworld series. It's intimidating with 54 books, but they're broken into arcs for different characters, and it's super fun to see them popping up or interacting with each other. With my favorite character being Death (who talks in all caps and loves cats), I get to see him in every book, but a really fun and simple one to start with is Equal Rites.
omg same I love Discworld and my favourite character is Death! Hogfather would be such a fun book to read over Christmas.
Also, huge agree on Equal Rites, I think you could pretty much start anywhere and not be too lost but Equal Rites is a good story and doesn't assume you really know anything about the setting of Discworld.
I also really enjoyed Guards! Guards! and I think that'd be a good place to start too.
Thirding because these were my exact thoughts! I started with Equal Rites but Hogfather is *such* a good book for the holidays.
I'm going to make a huge confession: I'm reading them in order and have only gotten as far as Wyrd Sisters. I've already re-read the same five I already hit just because I enjoyed them so much I wasn't ready to leave.
(I might have re-read the first two an extra time because Rincewind is hardcore a comfort character, especially when he straightmans Two Flower.)
BUT! I have watched the Hogfather adaptation, and from what I can tell, it feels a little too 'Terry Pratchett's humor' to throw at someone as a first introduction to the already high-fantasy meta of Discworld. But I'm just a casual consumer, not a professional reviewer, who hasn't even gotten that far into the series. I do know that I'm going to see it to the end, because I heard it gets more severe as Pratchett has a better foothold on the universe and how it grew past the parody it was meant to be. And I look forward to seeing more Death. "I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I COULD MURDER A CURRY" just signed me onto the series for life.
Personally I recommend either Guards Guards or the Wee Free Men, purely because Wee Free Men was my introduction to the series when I was little, but there really isn't a wrong answer for where to start. I'm re-reading the Hogfather right now for the holiday season and while I think it's fantastic, I feel like a lot of it would be lost on someone who isn't already pretty familiar with the setting and characters being explored. Not to say it wouldn't still be good, of course! But yeah Discworld reigns supreme lol
I'd say a good place to start is with the guards series or even later with going postal. But definitely not with the first book (as much as I like Rincewind)
i can see the moment you put a bunch of different white painted chairs at the counter to decide which style, but i will say it did look cute in an eclectic way to have some varied chairs, speaks to a more small business vibe of the cafe!!
The Martian by Andy Weir is one of my favorite books! Like, reread once a year kind of books. It's smart and funny but also has heart and science. It's smart but not brainey- if that makes sense.
Thanks for all you do! I enjoy watching you two build in the sims so much more than actually playing the sims!
15:30 My favorite book of all time is “The Night Circus” by Erin Morgenstern. It’s a pretty quick read, but the imagery and world building is absolutely enchanting for me. I read it for the first time in middle school and I think it changed my brain chemistry because I’ve dreamt of going to La Cirque des Reves ever since, and will always be devastated that it’s in fact not real. Fortunately I can visit whenever I want by picking the book back up!
I think the girls should read wicked and the series written by the author about *'the truth of oz'*
Also the Rangers Apprentice saga.
oooooh that’s also my recommendation i adore that book
My husband and I did our wedding themed after The Night Circus! We both loved that book and bonded over it when we were dating.
I absolutely adore Erin Morgenstern's writing! The Night Circus, and The Starless Sea are easily two of my favorite books
THIS!! I love Night Circus, it got me out a huge reading slump and it’s my most reread book, it’s fantastic
15:26 I cannot possibly decide on one single favorite book ever, so I'll name my top three:
- Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir is a funny, super well written sci-fi book about a man who wakes up alone on a spaceship and can't remember anything about his past at first. He starts figuring out why he's there and how he can get back to Earth alone, and ends up making some really cool discoveries in space. This book genuinely made me excited about science even though I've always been a humanities girl!
- The long way to a small, angry planet by Becky Chambers is a lovely book about a crew of various kinds of aliens on a long journey in space. The found family vibes are excellent and the worldbuilding is insane, and this is what I would call science fiction for the girls and gays!
- Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel is a memoir in the form of a graphic novel. Alison is an iconic comic artist who is well known for depicting the lives of the lesbian community in her comics, which she started in the 80s. Her memoir has her gorgeous art style going for it, but it also tells the story of her youth in a really beautiful way - especially centering on the complicated relationship between her and her father.
Project Hail Mary has one of my favorite literary friendships ♥
Ahh love project Hail Mary! I met him on his tour for it and he signed my copy it was incredible and he was so kind
Yes fun home!!! It’s also a musical!
Read Project Hail Mary recently!!! I was so surprised by how much I liked it
Great recs! I worship at the altar of Becky Chambers, honestly. All her books are bangers.
My favorite book is in a series! The first one is called "The Way of Kings," which is a high action-packed fantasy book that can keep you interested for hours. I totally recommend it
15:40 My favorite book series is called The Land of Stories, it's really good, and all ages can enjoy it!! I think y'all would love it!!
OMG I L O V E LAND OF STORIES
Land of stories is so good they did rook dirty though 😂
Omg it used to be my favorite too! It was the first book i read start to finish ever
LAND OF STORIES FANDOM!!!!
im in the middle of my finals and idk how and why but yalls voices help me become productive so i always loop your streams and vids while i work 🥹🥹 thank you for this !!
Book recs: Gideon the ninth, the raven cycle, six of crows, and if you want an endless supply of books I recommend Brandon Sanderson and his endless stream of books
17:21 BUY BUDDIE HOPE YOU FIND YOUR DAD
Dude I literally quote this daily lmao 😂❤
Dont know what type of books you like but I love The Raven Cycle so much!! The writing is freaking amazing, and so thought through, so detailed, so many layers and foreshadowing and meanings. Also The Song of Achilles if you want a book to completely destroy you, you are going to weep so bad
LOVE LOVE LOVE The Raven Cycle! Not many people I know have read it. 💕
@itzthedot same! I feel like this is such an underestimated and overlooked series when it's really good, better than some of the books that gained popularity through tiktok or ig
@@aniazizka2792 I read her “Dreamer Trilogy” (the spinoff with Ronan), and it was pretty good, too. I prefer the Raven Cycle more, but it does talk more about Ronan’s talent and family.
@itzthedot yeah I really want to read that too! But for some reason not every book from that series was translated to polish (yet) and books in original languages tend to be quite expensive so haven't gotten around to that yet :(
I love The Raven Cycle! Such a good series!
myyyy FAVOURITE book ever is “this is how you lose to time war”. it will destroy you and repair you on just a few hundred pages
15:30 I really recommend "The Sphinx" by Robin Cook. It's about a female egyptologist who, after breaking up with her boyfriend, decides to go to Egypt and further investigate a mysterious artifact she found at her workplace... A true gem!
If we are going Egypt, would recommend Kane Chronicles
siblings who travel the world to save the universe, with Egyptian magic and myths thrown into the mix.
Perfect for them
all robin cook books are AMAZING
@@CamdenKaneakaNeptunesdaughter Have you read PJO or HOO or The Magnus Chase series
@@ollesjoberg709yup.
But I recommended those specifically because they are eygptian related
@@ollesjoberg709yup .
15:26 My top two favourite books are A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini, which is a heartbreaking story about two women that like in Afghanistan during the late 1900s and have to live by societal expectations. The other book I HEAVILY recommend is the The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, which is about a group of aged care residents that solve murder cases through a series of emotional and British humoured events. Hope this helps!
16:59 YES PLEASEE
2:42 ARCANE MENTIONED?! 😍
(MANY VIDS IN SUCH A SHORT TIME?? WE’RE BEING BLESSED)
Ok! I read this book earlier this year, it’s written by Ruta Sepetys. The title is Salt to the Sea and it is FANTASTIC! If you guys haven’t already read it I 100% recommend it.
If I had to pick a few favorite books to recommend, I think I'd go with these.
-Song of Achilles
-Six of Crows and the sequel Crooked Kingdom
-This is How You Lose the Time War
omg actually stop. First of all, an assumption: hello fellow queer person! And second of all, I think about This is How You Lose the Time War and Song of Achilles all the time. They were both so beautiful and I have lent This is How You Lose the Time War to like 4 people I'm obsessed. (Basically, we're best friends now, just FYI)
@lsabellaclarkson8709 good guess, i am a queer person lol!
Tsoa!!!!!
@@SharkestBoi yeah, I can't lie the shark theme tipped me off before I even read the comment. I love it when I'm right 💗
@@lsabellaclarkson8709 haha thats awesome
My favourite book is a series, and if you somehow haven’t read Stormlight Archives… well, you should. The absolute peak of modern fantasy. And the 5th book is coming out in 3 days!
14:54 There were 217 books... sorry I was curious! 😂
There are 7 books on that item... they placed 31... so 217. 😅
This is only when they had that group of books and not the stacks.
BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS TIME! my FAVORITE book series of all time is the locked tomb!!! I've been obsessed with them for almost two years now they're everything to me!! my favorite novellas to help with your reading slump are the deep, the six deaths of the saint, floralinda and the forty-flight tower (by the same author as tlt!), the black god's drums, the salt grows heavy, and this is how you lose the time war🫶. also LOVED the build i wish i could go eat there sooo bad
My fav books are the hunger games but they’ve probably already read them
@LucaManchett YESSS I LOVE THE HUNGER GAMES WITH ALL MY HEARTS
TASTE ❤
Locked Tomb lover solidarity!!
you and I have very similar taste in books I think! TLT and locked tomb are both some of my favs as well. I’ll have to add some of these to my list!
book rec!! the lunar chronicles, its basically a futuristic retelling of old princess/grimm brothers stories but its so interesting, the first book is Cinder and shes a CYBORG
I RECOMMENDED THAT TOO I LOVE CINDER SO MUCH
I’M OBSESSED WITH CRESS AND THORNE
OH MY GOD! I LOVE THOSE BOOKS!
My favourite series to this day
OMG YESSSS! Love that series! I have all the books!
powerless trilogy!!!! it's a fantasy romance book that i'm addicted to
for the book recommendation: i don't know if you've already read this series cuz it's a little older, but Inkheart and its sequels are some of my favourite books of all time. It's a wonderfully written (sort of urban and then later on high) fantasy series and so immersive
another inkheart lover!
omg yes!! I've never seen anyone else talk about Inkheart and it's just so good!
Omg inkheart mentioned!! def one of my favorite books of all time ❤❤
Amazing reads:
The Song of Achilles - Madeline Miller
Circe - Madeline Miller
Do Not Say We Have Nothing - Madeleine Thien
Parable of the Sower - Octavia E Butler
This is How You Lose the Time War - Amal El-Mohtar
I read time war for book club!! That one is a particular favourite; some of the most compelling sci-fi I've read in a while.
I just started song of Achilles!!!
Song of Achilles is so good! I finished it in one sitting I couldn’t put it down! Circe is my next read after I finish my current trilogy.
I think my favorite book is Artemis Fowl, it’s the first in a series that pretty great.
15:30 some of my favs 😍
- There Will Come a Darkness by Katy Rose Pool
- Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
- Heaven Official’s Blessing (Tiān Guān Cì Fú) by MXTX
- Dark Room Etiquette by Robin Roe
Omg there are so many more but I’m too lazy to put them
Nice job typing the word etiquette btw, I just posted a comment about it too, and one of my favorite books has the word in it 💀 it took multiple tries to get right lol
OMG I LOVE DARK ROOM ETIQUETTE, Robin Roe is so brilliant you should check out list of cages by her so heartbreaking
@@Acrylic_User a special thanks to autocorrect (I can’t communicate clearly without it 😭)
@@ashleyjean2811 IKR I LOVE HER BOOKS TOO!!
13:35 REAL no bcs it should have stats like minecraft “most put in then immediately removed item” WHALEBURR
And the dot wallpaper
My favourite book, or more like a book series, is the Breadwinner or also known as Parvana i think? I really loved everything about it! And it really made me look into Afghanistan after..
14:50 For the book count I got 224, and I’d recommend Song of Achilles and The 57 Bus
The song of Achilles is soooo good!!
32 × 7 = 224
yeah I agree with you!
i love song of Achilles good choice
I’m reading The Song of Achilles rn
Ahhh! It turned out so well!! I would love to see more of this concept!! lots of love
15:43 Between Shades of Gray is a historical fiction book that CHANGED MY LIFE
My favorite book is the invisible life of Addie La’rue. I’m a generally very picky about what I read but this book is one of very few that has gotten a perfect 10/10 for me. The writing well done and perfectly paced, the characters are very well flushed out and deep. It is a fantasy with a touch of bitter sweet romance and it is definitely worth your time. Also the audiobook so pretty good too if you’re interested :))
I loved that book soo sooo soooo much
“YAY CARYN AND CONNIE!!” We all shout in unison!
“YAY CARYN AND CONNIE!!”
“YAY CARYN AND CONNIE!!
“YAY CARYN AND CONNIE!!”
"YAY CARYN AND CONNIE!!"
Being fed so well im worried they gonna put us in stew, hansel and gretel style.
15:30 My favorite book is Piranesi by Susanna Clarke! It's, to date, the only piece of fiction to make me cry with an emotion other than sadness! It's a very beautiful book, both in the description of the environment and the message it conveys. Cannot recommend it enough!
Yes!!!! ♥
2:39
ARCANE MENTIONED
If you want to read a series: The Kane Chronicles written by Rick Riordan (if you love mythology) or The Lunar Chronicles written by Marissa Meyer (if you love fantasy or sci-fi)
this video srsly helped me snap back to reality. i just watched some analog horror and it freaked me out to the point where i got pure chills. this video helped so much. i love you guys so much!
My all time favorite book is Under the Whispering Door by T.J. Klune. It’s an incredibly cozy book about the MC going to the afterlife, and it’s so sad and so cozy. Definitely read it with some tea. It’s not for everyone, (IT WILL MAKE YOU CRY A LOT) but I LOVE it. And it has a lot of queer elements without being the main focus. It’s my favorite and taught me a lot about many ideas and concepts.
I was coming down here to recommend T.J. Klune as well! Whispering Door was fantastic but I personally adored The House in the Cerulean Sea (and its sequel). All three are 🤌
I used to work at a historic lighthouse! I wish there had been a cafe in there instead of 100+ steps that I had to climb multiple times a day! Great work you guys!!
My favorite book is probably Slewfoot by Brom! It's really good if you're into light horror and especially female rage. It's set in the time of the puritans and follows a girl who develops a connection with a woodland god. I read the entire book in two days lol. Probably not the best rec for the winter season but if you're ever in the mood for something creepy it's perfect!
Slew foot was SO good!! i loved the inspiration Brom took from appalachian folklore. 5/5 stars EASY!
According to my rushed calculations ther are 217 books on the cirkle shelf: 31 sets of 7 books
Plus the 4 books on the desk makes a total of 221 books
sooo... not 500
Hope that helps!
Book recommendations:
a tree grows in Brooklyn
The maid
Moriarty by Anthony Horowitz
The Appeal
One more… The wild girls by Phoebe Morgan
(Special thanks to my book nerd aunt)
15:26 Hell Followed with Us is a great book! I read it last year and recommend it to everyone! It’s a dystopian book and really good!
15:24 Its an unfinished trilogy, but I absolutely ADORE The Kingkiller Chronicles. The first book is called The Name of the Wind and the writing prose is so poetic at times. Haven't been able to find a book that meets my standards ever since 😅
I just remembered that I bought that book and I still haven't read it 😅 Thanks for the reminder!
I love this series but could never recommend it because I'm almost positive Patrick Rothfuss will fake his own death before it's published. Proceed at your own risk 😭
@ashlinholbrook5840 Omg what, that's wild 😮 I'll start with the first book and see from there. Not the first time I've started a book series only for it to never finish 🙃 *cough* Night World *cough*
@@jadef8 yeah it's unfortunate, but I hope! There's his shorter things for other characters that have been published and the prologue was released for the final book!
@@mistersparkle9005 Good to know for the other characters! I hope the last book will be published and you'll get to read it so you're not stuck in reader's hell 😭
14:51 I think there is about 217-224 books? 30/34 sets of books, 7 books per set,
My 1st grade math teacher would be proud
Right now my favorite book series is the locked tomb trilogy by Tamsyn Muir, the first book is called Gideon the Ninth❤❤
It is criminal how far I had to scroll to find The Locked Tomb books
yessss fellow locked tomb enjoyer!! only on book one atp but i love griddlehark and their relationship sm
15:24 For book recommendations, I'd defiantly recommend the Ms. Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children series!! It's sort of like a fantasy, sci-fi, horror combination, but the plot is super detailed and thought out! And there's a tone of interesting characters to enjoy! It's a young adult series, but I think it's enjoyable for most ages!!
Book rec: The Wheel of Time series (don't watch the Amazon original). All bangers and will keep you busy for a LONG time
Knowing you guys watch arcane makes me pray for you! Have fun with that ending!! (Sorry for spoilers if you haven’t finished yet)
ARCANE MENTIONED 🗣🔥🔥 yall should do arcane inspired build !!! also how was it
15:36 my favorite book series is they both die at the end and the first to die at the end, there both sad but so good😢❤❤❤
For book recommendations, I recommend “The Girl who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making”. It’s a series as well, and it’s a super interesting read! It is teeeechnically a childrens chapter book but i think it’s a banger
Oh my god!!!! This is my favorite series of all time but I feel like I never see anyone talking about it! Have you read any other Catherynne M Valente books? I absolutely adore Radiance
yess!!! i haven't read the book in a while but i was listening to the music recently and its so good. n i feel like its a book where u get to think a lot about how different everyones individual perspectives must be
@@ezm.c.5851unfortunately, I’ve only read the one book, but i’d love to read more of the series!
A book that I absolutely love is “The Boy with the Cuokoo-Clock Heart” by Mathias Malzieu, then end changed my life forever!
Idea: one place build. Once you pick and place an object you can’t move or change it.
14:21 this seems familiar.... having deja vu rn
You guys should make a community post to get book recommendations
YALL SHOULD READ POWERLESS, the third one comes out on April 8 too!!
2 VIDEOS IN ONE WEEK I LOVE U GUYS
Two in one go? NICE
Did Christmas come early!! All these vids in such a short time!! Thank you Caryn and Connie also hope you feel better soon
6:55 He's such a SEA EO you mean?! 🐳
PS: LOVE watching you guys! Get well soon! 🤧
I WAS LITERALLY ABOUT TO MAKE THAT SAME JOKE
I WANTED TO MAKE JOKE FIRST U SWINE😭(in a friendly way)
A book that is both my favorite and changed my life would be The First To Die At The End, but it's a prequel to They Both Die At The End and the THIRD book is coming out next year IM SO EXCITED!!! also, another book would definitely be The Song Of Achilles, now that's a book that changed my brain chemistry
I will NEVER shut up about the TBDATE series ugh
@@lilyrozeski4971 SAME, LIKE GAHHHH IVE BEEN YAPPING ABOUT THE THIRD BOOK EVER SINCE IT GOT ANNOUNCED 💀
Oh my God yessssssss as if I needed another reason to talk about these books! These are my must reads in no particular order-
- Half a Soul
- The House in the Cerulean Sea
- The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea
- Folk of the Air trilogy
- Six of Crows duology
- Raybearer duology
- Mistborn trilogy
- Poppy War trilogy (this one is much darker than any of the other books on this list. You might want to look up trigger warnings as well.)
I’ve been in the worst reading slump too. But I swear I haven’t been able to stop thinking about these books. I hope you read them and I hope you enjoy!!! Great work girls☺️
WE ARE BEING FEDDDD. yall are blessing us fr 💗💗💗 love from scotland !!!!!
OH OH OH THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT BOOKS I'M SO HAPPY. I recommend Dody Smith's I capture the castle.
My favourite book series of all time is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, and the non-official sequel "And Another Thing..." by another author I forget the name atm. Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, also by Douglas, is a book that everytime I finish makes me go "huh?" and the Netflix series "Dirk Gently" has very little to do with the book's story but is one of my favourite watches of all media
Love you guys!!!❤
AHHHH YALL LIKE ARCANE???????? 2:24
Doesn’t everyone?😊
15:18 Yes!!! Same here. My book count for the past four years has been over 100 each year. My book goals now pertain to reading more of certain genres rather than just a total amount.
My book recommendation is the author Rainbow Rowell. 😊
For book recommendations I love six of crows, desparoux, and the land of stories series it’s a bit less mature but I love them nonetheless!!! Love ur vids too💜💜(also if you two do make a list of ur most used items u should do a build where you can’t use them)
I was gonna say six of crows!!!!!
Book recommendation here, one of my favourites of all time is called Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. I found this book at my school library when I was in middle school and ended up never taking it back because I loved it so much. It’s a bit sad but also cathartic reading about a girl healing herself over a school year after a traumatic event. Highly recommend. Loved the build girls!
