So can I just say you are amazing! I've been feeling very slumpy and seeing your joy in reading these books is so infectious I actually felt a little excited about reading again. 💖 And I'm sure this will sound weird but I'm so proud and strangely grateful(?) that you DNF'd a book/series that you weren't enjoying. I've no interest in MP myself so I can't help you there but I know they are insanely popular on booktube and thus you might have felt pressured to keep going and say you loved it because that's what people expected you to say. I could be wrong of course but reading books should make you, if not happy at least enjoy yourself. If that isn't happening then I wouldn't want you to keep at it even if it was a book I loved. Which is a longwinded way to say I support you girlie and thanks for doing this. 😄❤ Edited to say Hi to Grandma Patti! (I just watched your vid where you said she reads your comments)

Not in Love is so different from anything Ali Hazelwood has written before, beautifully gritty and raw! The romance, chemistry, & plot are all tied up in tender emotions & balanced so well with one another. I loved how this was written & how Rue & Eli's relationship developed; they seemed to communicate through s3x & their love was so dirty & sensitive. Their histories & characters were explored thoroughly & I enjoyed getting to know them as they reiucantly fell in love. The dual POV was such a nice touch, I loved reading Eli's perspective & his absolute obsession with everything Rue. While I believe this is more of an emotional romance than a rom-com; the banter, tough of angst, tension, & steam all wrap up into an enigmatic forbidden romance that perfectly treads the line between serious & sweet. Cannot recommend it highly enough. Great vlog, thanks so much for sharing! 💖☀💛 I have a very personal question for you. How long does it take for you to organize your bookshelves?

Yes I agree COMPLETELY with everything you said!! I also loved reading from Eli’s POV specifically for that reason 😂❤️ and I would say about an hour!!

i also struggled with the magnolia parks books. i pretty much was bored for the first two, and then bored until the last 50 or so pages in the next two & now im 300 or so pages into the fifth one but it’s taken me a couple days to get there (bc boredom). i will say into the dark almost feels like it doesn’t belong in this series bc it’s less romantic drama and more grief driven and feels a little bit deeper than just just all the characters emotionally cheating on each other lmao 😭

After i wrote this i read the rest of the book in 1 sitting And i cried little bit actually. I gave it 4 ⭐ which Is really good for me. And did you read the Things we leave unfinished by Rebecca Yarros? I read it in January and cried a lot. I cried in May because of this book too And i gave it 5⭐! It Is the best book i read this year So far ♥️

I understand your magnolia parks issue. I loved the first 2 books and after that the books felt repetitive. I love Daisy and Christian so I’m going to read their books but magnolia parks did not need 3 books.

I just bought Not In Love, but I've heard mixed reviews... We shall see... I despised The Love Hypothesis, but LOVED Check & Mate and BRIDE ♟🧛‍♀ I'll SKIP the Reckless VLOG so I'm not yelling at my computer 😉 I really enjoyed Daisy Darker(4.5) and I enjoyed the "cheezy" ending... It was cute If Yours Truly hadn't been Fake Dating, it would have been 5 stars for me, but alas Fake Dating brought it down to 4 stars, but the Anxiety Rep was excellent(I should bump it up to 4.25) You do TOURS?? I could totally see that... I wanna take this tour! I won't say anything about Powerful because I haven't read it and have no plans to... And I'm sure she has better editors now 💁🏻‍♂
