i feel like people that live and obsess over books like Icebreaker, anything Coleen Hoover, or twisted love series are people that simply skipped their WattPad era when they were 12 years old…. its the only explanation. They must experience this in order to move on to better things

@@darthbr3nnan hahaha mine was just a college algebra class. I'm terrible at it. My bf is an engineering major and he helped me a lot. I'm honestly surprised he didn't leave to "pick up some milk" never to be seen again. It was a total nightmare.

My friend told me about the uber fingering scene in Ice Breaker and I genuinly think about it like once a week because it made me so uncomfortable

Andy Weir is one of my favorite authors ever specifically because of the way he writes science/scientists. It's so detailed and well-researched, but I never get lost or feel stupid. He has a way of explaining things that reminds me of the nicest science teacher you had in early high school, just super friendly and meeting you where you are with your civilian knowledge, without feeling patronizing or condescending at all. The Martian is like that too -- scientific in a way that makes you feel smart for being able to follow it, but not hard to follow at all. Fucking love that guy.

The Beartown trilogy made me absolutely sob every book. Probably multiple times each book. Backman is so talented at ripping my heart out.

100%. The final book had me reading and sobbing through the night and my husband woke up completely confused .

really, really appreciate the title/author/genre in the top corner. also, for way less practical reasons, loved the DIVORCE message in the background

The Beartown trilogy is so good. I love Fredrik Backman's writing.

Circe changed my life, no exaggeration. So sorry you got so sick in November, hope you continue to feel better! ❤

I genuinely want to read icebreaker because of the gru costume now

I loved Icebreaker when I read it, but I read it before it went viral and so I had zero expectations and went into it blind. But I recognize that it had no plot honestly and it did drive me insane that she somehow wasn’t aware of how her partner treated her. And the “bub” drove me absolutely insane. But I read icebreaker in one sitting at like 2am and it gave me reading wattpad vibes too but in like a nostalgic way 😂

@Munksfan1

4 ай бұрын

same! I also promptly forgot most of the plot right after I read it lol but Lexi made me remember it better

if it makes you feel better, I (as a woman in STEM) am ALSO afraid to read Sci-fi books 😂 i also say this despite the fact that Red Rising is one of my favorite series of all time

17:11 you expressed my thoughts on Emily Henry perfectly: even if they weren't my favourite couple (doormat heroines give me the ick and wyn was bland), the way the book is written and *the vibes* makes the whole reading experience amazing

Your videos have given me permission to NOT read the twisted series, icebreaker, and the like. Truly out here doing the lords work

very excited for the upcoming deep dive on the twisted series. truly, twisted lies continues to be even more unhinged than twisted love. i hate read them out of spite and still can’t pretend it wasn’t deeply entertaining, much to my chagrin.

If you think Icebreaker has a paper thin plot, you should read the next book Wild Fire. I skimmed the last 150 pages desperately trying to make it end 😂 it was like some random person I don’t like retelling every minute detail of the summer that they worked at a camp. No climax or major conflict to overcome, just a string of random events

I’m impressed by your ability to start and finish series. I can not for the life of me move from Book 1 to book 2. I need to read something else in between. 😅

YESSSS. Circe is so good and one of my all-time favorites. I love to see people loving it 🫶🏻

my sole purpose in life is to watch your book reviews. hilarious and so painfully accurate. i CANNOT wait for your in depth reviews for credence and the twisted series (twisted love review was phenomenal)

Alright Project hail Mary and Circe going up higher on my TBR!

you can't keep getting away with having correct opinions, lexi!!!!

that health update is basically exactly what i went through last spring lmao i didn't know about the congestion either and i was convinced i was dying. victorian children unite 🤝 great video as always btw :D i'm starting beartown soon and now i'm extra hyped for it!!

I loveeeeed project hail mary, it instantly took me out of my real life but also got me more emotional than I would be about my own life 😭

your plot recaps genuinely make my entire week. so excited to hear so many are coming!!

fredrik backman is my absolute favorite author and i'm so so so glad you loved beartown!! i just watched 2 of your videos and subscribed, and i absolutely love your vibe!! can't wait to watch more :D

this is my first video of you and i can already tell youre one of the few booktubers i can watch without getting bored. and your selection of literary bangers & unhinged romances is just like me, its very comforting. great video!!

I love how real your reviews are and I´m here for it.

When you opened the video with Beartown - my all-time favorite book!! - you got a new sub! Also warning that The Winners is in part padded so much, because of all the summarization that happens in the first half...but also that you will be (as expected) devastated

the way that you KEPT pulling out some of my all time favourite books made my heart rate spike continuously for the whole video!!! a real rollercoaster when interspersed with credence and archer's voice

I love your vids soooo muchhhh I literally watch them as soon as they come out even in school!!!! Thanks for everything you do!!!

Honestly I'm so thankful you came to youtube. I haven't found you on tiktok but you are quickly becoming my favorite booktuber!

you are my new favorite booktuber because somehow i agree with every single thing you say. im just watching your videos and nodding along. everything you say is SO TRUE!!

i also read circe in november and honestly same 😭 i feel like madeline miller did an incredible job breaking us and then putting us back together in the span of 330 pages

lexi i NEED an unhinged recap of the rest of the twisted series!!! your twisted love video is my comfort video!! also twisted lies >>>

i cannot wait to watch the recap videoss!! thank you lexi❣❣

beartown changed my life. The only reason I haven’t even attempted to start the sequel is because it’s pretty heavily foreshadowed benji will die and I can’t read that right now. Benji is probably my favourite character that I have ever read about. He won’t get a happy ending but he deserves one.

I am so glad that i got to come home to watch this always love a ranty book recap, genuinely your videos always make my day

i’m genuinely, like honest to god, looking forward to the twisted love series recaps. i enjoyed the twisted love video immensely, and i thank you for the fact that i know what the plot is without having had to put myself through the ordeal of reading it.

so glad i saw your tiktok about these bc i knew a video was coming too ❤

Really excited to see a lot of books I currently own or have on my kindle in this video, it’s made me really excited to read!

I’m so excited for the twisted recaps just letting u know

It's always such a treat to watch you gush over the books you love. ♥️ Hope you're feeling better now. 😇✨ And you DO NOT have to worry about the videos being too long. We love itttttt. 😂🥰

I listened to As Good As Dead on audiobook and one time I was walking my dogs and a car pulled up and I freaked out

I am so glad that you liked Project Hail Mary! Science fiction is my go-to genre, but that book is still one of my favorites. If you want to read more hard science fiction like PHM, Andy Weir's The Martian is in a similar vein of approachable, but still scientifically grounded. If you like the surprisingly heartwarming nature of it, then I'd recommend literally anything by Becky Chambers, though her work is more soft sci-fi. For classics, The Left Hand of Darkness is amazing, but challenging to get into. There's also a great feminist series called Venus of Dreams from the 80s which is about the multi-generational project of terraforming Venus. So excited that you're interested in reading more sci-fi because I think it's such an amazing genre!

I need to wash dishes and start then start my work-from-home job. The executive dysfunction is real today. I was going to put on a podcast, but thought some booktube content sounded better. Perfect timing! I’m a newer subscriber but have really appreciated your videos so far 🖤

I love Beartown so much!!! The Winners was my favorite of the three and I still think about it even though I read it almost a full year ago. You will need that wellness check

been watching your videos for a little while now, but never stopped to say how much I love your earrings !

I love hearing you validate my DNFs. I put Icebreaker down after two chapters. I feel like I definitely made the right choice now.

Not me rewatching your videos and then glancing over to see this one from one hour ago. Slay.

it’s a good day when i have a new lexi video to watch! just a heads up, covid really affects your immune system even if it seems like a mild infection, and it does every time you get it, which is why you may have noticed waaaaay more people getting sick even if it’s not covid & why it’s much easier for you to get sick/have it be worse on you. glad you’re doing better now. be careful out there and take care of yourself! ❤

i am casting my vote for doing a recap of the twisted love series! it dosnt have to be as much of a production as the first one, it could even be the two combined if they were that boring lol

*notification* hmm what could this be- OH MY DEAR JESUS DROP EVERYTHING SHE’S UPDATED

i have loved ALL of the fredrik backman books i've read so far, and i consider him to be one of my favourite authors of all time. that said, i couldn't really get past the initial character intros to Beartown even though I'd heard so much about it. Your review, however, has made me incredibly excited to pick it back up again, especially as a cozy winter read.

Yay! I also loved Circe and Project Hail Mary. I saw someone else recommended Becky Chambers for sci-fi and I would like to second that for the Wayfarers series

I read the whole thing not so long ago and for some reason it made me happy to hear that you decided to continue with A Good Girl's Guide to Murder series! The fact that the first twist in the last book was so predictable only for the second one to come and be the definition of unhinged is still my favorite thing about the entire series 😂

I just found your channel the other day and I'm absolutely obsessed with you and your videos! I'm so glad I found it! :) I think we have a lot of the same tastes which is just WONDERFUL

YEEESSSSS Project Hail Mary!! I really like Andy Weir, I'm currently reading The Martian and its so funny. 10/10 reccomend, scifi is my favorite genre but its so hard to find good ones. ❤

Circe is so great. I'll be reading Project Hail Mary soon, so I'm excited about that. Also I relate so hard to your dislike towards math ahah

because of this video (and the vlog where you originally read it), i read a good girls guide to murder, and it was so so good and im definitely gonna read the sequels as soon as i can. idk if youll ever read this comment but i just wanna say that in the past couple months, your whole channel has helped me so much when it comes to reading, and you genuinely helped me get back into it after not having done it for too many years. love your channel and again tysm !!!!

your reaction to the end of circe is so real bc i was in pieces when i finished it earlier this year 😭

oh i loove the beartown trilogy!! and the winners ripped my heart out 😀have fun reading it

AGREEEEE with your comments on Happy Place. I still enjoyed it mostly but the whole miscommunication trope is not for me. Love her books otherwise. I just started Circe last week!
