it's not written well 💀💀 monique chapters 🫣 but i love how strong and complex of a character evelyn. i loved it to pieces.

They way I literally could NOT put down the 7 husbands of Evelyn Hugo when I started it. I highly recommend 'A good girl's guide to murder' by Holly Jackson and 'You'll be the death of me' by Karen McManus if you like mysteries but the characters still have a lot of personality and are really relatable.

I literally just finished The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo yesterday and I am still so speechless. It’s so well written easy to read and the plot the story the characters. Not only did the author almost constantly maintain the suspicion of the story the development of the characters throughout the story was so good. I was constantly on the edge. I finished it so fast. That’s how good it was. Started the year very strong. Hope to read more books this good. This book will most definitely be in my top 5 for the coming time!

your book videos make me so excited i genuinely want to read every book u recommend

I love ur chill vlogs too but im A FAN of ur book vids 😍 i got into reading real recently (like when pandemic hit) bc i always felt lik a slow reader or just couldn’t get into it. But seeing the way u pace urself is inspiring and ur book recs always gets me excited to read! Thanks for sharing this part of ur life with us :)) happy happy new year, ava!!

it made me so happy to see The Silent Patient in one of these videos because it is honestly one of my absolute favourites. Although it is written for a more mature audience, I found it really easy to get into because the flow was amazing and the story kept me hooked throughout. I highy highly recommend!!!!!

I can’t wait to read all of these, especially the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo . Thanks for the recs always 🥰🥰💙

thank you for everything this year! you bring so much positivity and light into this world. can’t wait to see what 2022 brings for you! we love youuuu

ever since you got more into reading, you’ve inspired me to read sooo much more than i used to & i feel so much happier! i’m looking forward to more book content (& all your other content ofc)!

I love the way you talked about the books. You gave insight but no spoilers:) THANK YOU!!!!

Okay but I LOVE the way you give the little snapshot with the cover and title and everything it makes it so much easier to save the books and find them, I wish more ppl did this

I love that you posted this today! Especially since today was the first time I stepped foot into a library after 6 years!!! Can’t wait to go back tomorrow to get my library card and take out some of these books 🤎

I wasn't planning on reading "Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" and I didn't actually know what it was about but now it's on my to-read list. Thanks! Loved the recommendations

I am obsessed with your preparing for 2022 videos it's gonna be such a great year : )

I’m not sure anyone else could discretely describe a book the way you do. So genuine. You’re amazing! Thank you!

The silent patient is one of my all time favorite books! Since you enjoyed that I would also recommend The Maidens by the same author. I think I read the last 3/4 of that book in one day bc I was so hooked

Ava!!!! I love your book videos so much. You are a big part of why I got back into reading this year 🤍🤍 also, you have to read the great alone by Kristin Hannah!! It’s quite a commitment (550 pages) and it’s a bit dark but it grabs you and doesn’t let go and I think you would love it!

AVA! I have binged all of your book videos and I LOVEEE! PLZ keep making them ❤❤

oofff i DEVOURED “one of us is lying” by karen m. mcmanus! such an easy read, so exciting, many plottwist and it’s really well written! totally got me out of my reading-slump! currently reading the sequel and i bought 2 of her other books, so excited to read them!

I loveeeeee ava's book recommendations, it always inspires me to read more!!

I read but she makes me want to read all of those books. The way she explains them is impeccable. I just wanted to thank you because man you have a way of making me want to read when I'm in a slump!

My favorite book of 2021 is probably "The Song of Achilles." It broke my heart into a million pieces and I've been crying about it since I finished it. I have a soft spot for greek mythology and homosexual-romance books so this was the perfect read for me! My native language isn't English, but I find that English books just sound more "poetic" and so sometimes it was a little hard for me to read, but I understood everything and love the storyline endlessly. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves sad, tragic but absolutely beautiful written books!!

Ava, these videos have led me to start reading again and I am OBSESSED!! Thank you, all of your recommendations have been great so fsr

Favorite books read this year: 📗 The Night Circus (fiction) 📘 Becoming Bulletproof (biography with lots of good tips and take always) 📙 A Gentleman in Moscow (fiction) Going to start the new year reading The Seven Husbands. Thank you for the recommendations and those who commented backing up that rec!

love love LOOOVVEEE this video, always adore your book videos. definitely gonna look into some of these. my fav book that i read this year was daisy jones and the six, SUCH A GOOD BOOK. so fun to hear you talk about it. also: THAT TOP IS SO CUTE. the color is so pretty on you wow. okay that's all i love u

i have read about half of these and loved them all! you have great taste in books:) i’ve read 36 books this year and my goal for next year is to read 50. also… if anyone is a fan of audiobooks, the daisy jones and the six audiobook is incredible! there is a full cast of narrators, and each character has their own narrator.

Your non-spoiler book reviews are wonderful! ✨

i’ve been waiting for new book vids from you forEVER!!

A recommendation: A Piece of Cake by Cupcake Brown. It’s a memoir, but it’s seriously so good & eye opening. I read it when I was in 8th grade, I’m 23 and I still think about that book at least once or twice a week.

just ordered the seven husbands of evelyn hugo!! this is the year of getting back into reading for me :)

This is exactly the kind of book rec video I've been looking for. Will be looking into this channel more. I really wanted a book rec video that can give me descriptions that make me want to read them. Not just titles or one liners.

I got back into reading because of you and have already been through 3 of the books you recommended:) can’t wait to read more this year!

I'm definitely team manuscript!! Verity still gives me chills when i think about it one of the best books i've read this year!!

I really need to read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo! I keep hearing so many good things about it. 💜

not me watching this with my morning coffee on a rainy day 😍 so perfect. love you ava!!

The Silent Patient, Verity and Evelyn Hugo are ready to be read in 2022. I bought them in English as I prefer to read in English instead of my own language. Happy 2022!

The way you describe these books really makes me want to get back into reading!

im so excited to read daisy jones! i've read seven husbands and malibu rising and absolutely loved both of them(literally read them in a week lmao) my goal for this year is 10 books but i hope i get to surpass it 💗

I finished the love hypothesis a week ago, and it was amazing. I finished it within 4 hours!! It’s a must read :))

I love these book recommendations!! the past few years I lost my interest in reading and now I feel more inspired to read more books :)

i literally love all your book videos, i been trying to get more into reading and i feel like i have the same “taste in books” as you LOL so i always take recommendations from you 💆🏽‍♀️

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe is SO good, it's a chill book, a few serious topics, but it was a one day read for me. Friends to lovers trope, and I just got the next book (it's a duology) and am super excited to read it. If you're looking for a wholesome and easy read, definitely check it out sometime

loved seven husbands of evelyn hugo - will definitely have to check out some of taylor jenkins reid's other novels! also, if you really enjoyed atomic habits i would also recommend reading tiny habits by bj fogg. for me, tiny habits was basically everything i thought atomic habits would cover and i've been able to actively apply a lot more concepts from tiny habits than atomic habits!!

The first several books you mentioned were also books that I loved - can't wait to check out your other recommendations! I'm also planning to ready 50 books in 2022 (was also my goal for 2020 and 2021). My favorite book this year was Firekeeper's Daughter - highly recommend it!

My #1 book recommendation is “velocity” by Dean Koontz!! It’s so fast-paced (like “one sitting” type of reading) yet detailed, and it’s the book that got me into reading again after yearssss of not due to school. I read it in like 4 days lol, it definitely leaves you thinking about it for some time.

Afterlove by Tanya Byrne. An amazing wlw book that stole my heart completely. It’s been a month or so since I finished it and I still think about it most days. So beautifully written. Make sure you won’t be interrupted when you read then end

Book Recommendations!! I read "The Vanishing Half" by Britt Bennett earlier this year and it was fascinating. It displays an interesting perspective on race and was such a great read. Also "The Midnight Library" by Matt Haig. I can't remember if you reviewed that one in a previous video but I just finished it and I simply cannot stop thinking about it.

Yes same these books were amazing!

I’d HIGHLY recommend reading The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood. It’s my favorite book that I’ve ever read at the moment and one of those books that left me “wanting to cut off off my right big toe to read for the first time again”. It’s a total rom com, had me laughing out loud while binge read it in barnes & noble for 4 hours with no breaks. Basically, Olive is a student in a Stanford PhD biology program and she hasn’t had the best luck with relationships. She lied to her friend about having a new boyfriend and when she sees that she’s unexpectedly at the lab while Olive is supposed to be on a date, she kisses the first stranger she sees to cover up. Turns out that stranger was the most “ruthless and harsh” professor in the biology department Adam Carlsen. He agrees to start fake dating to continue the act up with Olive’s friends and then it all goes from there. It has some of my all time FAVORITE tropes and, Olive, the main character is the cutest and nerdiest (in a good way) person ever and it’s a nice contrast to Adam’s personality. Idk I can go on for HOURS on how much I adore this book 🤩💗
