I totally agree with you about "the secret history", even though I was hooked on it a little bit sooner than the end. I read it over a year ago and still think about it sometimes - there is just something about this book, which won't let you forget about it :)

Every Heart is a Doorway - love your thoughts, and it's made me honestly even more intrigued and wanting to pick it up! Love your wrap-ups! I have to read Six of Crows too, so behind! I'm hoping it's on audiobook?

You perfectly articulated my thoughts about 'The Secret History'! I'm looking forward to reading the Goldfinch as well

I know exactly what you mean when it comes too moody reading! The Vegetarian sounds very interesting. I may have to add it to my July TBR.

I'm at work and I get a notification that you just uploaded a video super excited thank you for the video not to mention gracing us with your beauty 😍

Loved hearing your thoughts on Every Heart a Doorway, I just included it in my top 5 video - personally LOVED IT.

I've not read The Secret History but loved The Goldfinch - one of my favourite reads of the year so far. I'm a new booktuber and really enjoying all your videos and the variety of books you read :)

I love Heir of Fire. it's my favorite in the series so far because it's basically all about Celaena (and others) confronting all their demons and I actually got a tattoo from it because it left such an impression on me

Just FYI Jane Grey wasn't a wife of Henry VIII she was (I believe) the cousin of his son Edward. At the end of his reign Edward gave the throne to Jane because he didn't want his sister Mary to have it because she was Catholic and was more than a little crazy. So when Jane became queen that pissed Mary off so after nine days Mary was able to overthrow Jane and beheaded her.

I read _Between the World And Me_. I agree that it had a way of articulating what I already noticed about racism in America. It had some many important things to say. It also raised points that I never thought of, but after hearing it, changed my perception on racism. But, and I feel bad for feeling like this, I didn't like the writing style so I almost put it down a few times but kept pushing because I knew it was an important read. I ultimately finished it and I'm glad I did and would still recommend it.

Can't wait to read "The Vegetarian!" Beautiful & Stunning blouse by the way. God Bless!

Omg I gotta read the last book you mentioned. This month I'm reading Jeffery Archers Kane & Abel and its giving me life! 😎

Heyyyy Gurl!!! love your channel ❤️❤️❤️

Jane grey was put on the throne as a power play by her family. She wasn't married to Henry the 8th. She was on the thrown for 9 days until princess Mary was able to take her rightful place on the throne and Jane was tried for treason. Ok I'm a Tudor history buff and lady Jane gray was one of my favorite stories. The book is a sorta reselling of that..

Currently reading 2 A.M. at the Cat's Pajamas by Marie-Helene Bertino - very interesting. I'm reading the version with the darker blue color with the characters on the front. The cover was eye-catching and made it look like it could be a fun read, and it's been really enjoyable. I've never read this author before, but I very quickly fell in love with her style of writing. Unique, painfully funny, and beautifully descriptive. Also just finished Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige. Such a morbid and interesting twist on the classic Wizard of Oz. Long, but worthwhile. Can't wait to dive into the rest of that series either. Always loving your channel!!

I've been trying to get my head into six of crows but have been unable to because I've been enjoying my summer but I think I'm going to throw it on my TBR for this month. My Lady Jane is also a book that I've been wanting to pick up. Perhaps we could buddy read that?

Interesting to hear your opinion on "Every Heart a Doorway." That was one of a few things that sort of bothered me through out the book. I can't really say that I liked any of the characters, and I wasn't quite sure how I was suppose to feel about the ending. However, I still REALLY enjoyed the book. I thought the entire concept was great. Luckily it was short, if it had been longer I probably would have been more nit-picky about plot details.

Oh my gosh! How am i just discovering you you are awesome!!!!!!!!!!

I too, recently read Library at Mt. Char and a friend asked me to describe it to her...and I couldn't. Ha! It's weird. Really good, but strangely difficult for me to describe without giving anything away.

You will laugh out loud during My Lady Jane! So much tongue in cheek humour, make sure you tell us how you like it ☺️

I read the Goldfinch and was really excited about it. I did however, feel like there were unnecessary scenes that made the book extremely long. I'm excited to see what you think about it! :)

thanks for sharing, i love your channel! two questions please: do you often read more than one book at a time, and if so do you have any tips to share about your routine? i'm currently trying to read an educational book for my craft and a book for pleasure, and i'm struggling. second question is do you ever read any suspense/thriller/horror books and do you have a favorite booktuber for that genre?

I really liked Before The Fall. It definitely was compulsively readable. I JUST got The Library at Mount Char and I can't wait to start it. Sounds like a great atmospheric read.

Majority of the books on your list I've never heard of and I love that.

After sampling all of Dostoyevsky's four major works (The Idiot, The Possessed, C&P, Karamazov Bros.) I've committed to The Possessed (C&P is up next, for sure) You're such an inspiration, thank you for being you! I'm really looking forward to your A(meriie)mazing anthology! :):)

I feel like youre very good at dissecting and evaluating the elements and effects of a book. I aspire to be writer as well, but half the time I find myself reading through an entire book, having tons of fun escapin reality(which is good, but not good all the time) and not gleaning much in the perspective of a writer!

i read the vegetarian and it was interesting. generally, i prefer books that are edgier and challenging like this one. but i am a bit tired of women who succumb (through their own actions or those of others) to their circumstances. it's made especially worse because the protagonist, the woman, victimized and ultimately weakened by mental illness. but it was an interesting look at korean culture/vaues/family structure/male-female dynamics, etc. i guess i just want to see women be more triumphant, even when they make tough choices.
