    Please don’t ever apologize for negative reviews towards a book. Books are so subjective and we all love or dislike them for the same or different reasons. I think negative reviews can actually lead to good conversations! Also I can’t wait to start the caraval series now 😊

    @@icebearstudios2757 right. I guess we were supposed to find Tella more fun. I did...until she became a little annoying chasing after a man who was not interested in her for the longest time. Scar and julian were superior because they actually loved each other despite their obstacles. I didn't buy tella's love story much.

    The way that you felt the Veiled Kingdom was similar to Powerless is how I felt about Powerless being similar to Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard! I probably would’ve like Powerless if I hadn’t read Red Queen, but I just couldn’t get over the similarities and it made me not enjoy it as much.

    This was such an incredible reading vlog, Alexa! So sad that you didn’t find a bunch of new favourites in this reading vlog, but I’m sure you’ll find some new favourite books soon. Also, I have some book recs for you! Only a Monster by Vanessa Len, which is a fun enemies to lovers urban fantasy with time travel. Yellow face by R.F Kuang, a literary fiction thriller about an author who steals her best friends manuscript. And lastly The Spanish Love Deception, one of my favourite romances with enemies to lovers, office workplace and fake dating. ❤

    My question then is what would you consider spice vs just sexual scenes ? For example I thought the chestnut springs series had a lot of spice?

  • @alexaraye

    @alexaraye

    Ай бұрын

    This is a great question & I should have explained it more when talking about it! SO, I don’t mind spice or “sexual scenes” in books! It’s just sometimes I don’t like the way an author may write out the scene because it just seems weird or cringe in my opinion. I also don’t really like when books have spice that is backtobacktoback. A scene here & there is fun but I don’t need the entire book being it! **POSSIBLE BOOK SPOILERS** In the veiled kingdom, the spice was just cringe imo & not my fav. In night shift, there was a lot of backtobacktoback. It felt like it was the entire book but it is a wattpad story so I should have expected it 😅

    21:42 stop apologizing for not liking a book and stop feeling guilty for DNFing of wanting to DNF. If it’s a shitty book, it’s a shitty book and you can have that opinion. I didn’t read it, you did and you don’t like it. You’re allowed to have that. Not to mention, I love shit talking books. It’s my favorite pastime lol. If there’s nothing good about it talk all the shit you want, be honest, don’t keep trying to “ look for positives” if there isn’t any.
