    ☕At the risk of sounding creepy, I'm going to tell you that I love the way you speak. It is very calming. I'm sure that sounds super weird lol idk how to explain it but your videos are so calming and I think a lot of it is because of your voice/the way you speak.

    🎉I appreciate the way you do book reviews. Not only do you explain what the book is about, but also how it made you feel and how different or similar it is from what the synopsis states!! I’ve seen so many booktubers talk about The Inheritance Games, and was looking forward to it. But like you I thought it was going to show more of a game aspect, I am about to be 29 (tomorrow!!) with two little toddlers and one one the way, so far from a teenager! Might get this book for my nephews rather than get it for me. Thank you!! 🎉

    Lexi I'm really glad that you explained the plot of The Inheritance Games here. I was thinking about picking it up but I would've also expected a totally different story and nothing romance heavy. 🙈 So maybe I'll stick with some other books for now. As for 5 star reads: I am currently reading A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens and I think that's gonna be one of my new favorites. Really loving it so far. ❤

    Such a great reading month! Last month I managed to get back into poetry and it was so lovely to be back after a year of just not being in the mood. A memorable five stars for me from last month would probably be Tea With Death by Abigail Wildes which was just this delightful macabre clever collection involving so many death related things whether it be death herself, or ghosts chatting, or poisoned tea. It was just fantastic. Most recently though, Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. This book is beautifully written with rich descriptions. And in it, a girl releases a death god, and becomes bound to him in doing so. The god wishes to take back his throne and to break the bond between them and they go out on their own odyssey. If you want a book with gods that actually reads like your reading about gods, pick it up.
