right?!! In my opinion the first three books are the most similar to movies and then from the 4th book onwards the books just have so much more depth

Please continue the hp series. Its amazing. I have not spent a year without reading hp since i was nine. Its lovely and brings confort when times get hard

Love how you mentioned being open minded with the first book of a series. A good story needs a good set up! Sometimes that can be boring but it makes the rest of the series usually hit so much harder!

I think it’s important!!

You 100% need to read through HP, there’s so much growth and becomes more adult and adult themes as it goes

For video ideas 💌: I just need more reading journal content, it would be so nice to se a 2023 reading journal flip through and your 2024 reading journal 😍. And maybe you could do a reading journal journal update every few months. Your reading journal is such an inspiration for me 🧚🏻‍♀️ Thanks!

I think caraval being described as a fever dream is perfect just because i think we were supposed to feel like that if i am making any sense but please finish the series tella's stroy line is so much better than scarlet in my opnion the story starts and ends with her .

Your thoughts on Never were so articulate and one of the best reviews I’ve seen thus far❤ You really shared your own personal experience and I respect that. I agree that knowing the original Peter Pan story is SO important. I think it needs to be read in light of the original story and the time period it takes place in. I feel the same way as you about Jessa’s writing and I personally liked Never (even how frustrating the characters could be) and I’m excited to continue the series and have hope it’ll only get better.

I couldn’t bring myself to finish Never- I am so sad because I was so excited for this release 😭

Rach you're one of the few youtubers that i cant stop watching. Just wanted to say thank you for just being you. You're so sweet, kind and inspiring🩷

I would love to see a reading journal flip through just like you did last year!

American version is called sorcerers stone because it’s a translation of British English so it’s a different version. American published by Scholastic and British published by Bloomsbury. And please continue the HP series!

I love the way you explained how you may not love the first book in a series because that’s exactly how I felt with acotar and now i’m fully encapsulated in the world. the way you explained it was so good!

Good morning Rachel happy Monday morning and happy new year to you and your loved ones and I hope that 2024 brings you a lot of love and happiness

Happy new year Rachel. I hope 2024 in kind to you. I love the Harry Potter series. The first two books are more for younger people but from book 3 on the stories get darker especially from the goblet of fire. I think you might enjoy them if you continue to read them.

I would LOVE to see more book journal content. Like maybe a flip through of last year’s or maybe do a flip through at the end of each month with the wrap up. I loved your journal last year and it’s so fun to get inspiration for it when you know you’ll already like the content

I really loved The Lunar Chronicles.... I hope you enjoy every page!!

I just finished the unmarked witch as I was so slumpy ending 2023 and it has totally cured me. I’m onto the second in the duology and I’m in love.

i was so excited for Never & i wish i would’ve dnfed it… i ended up finishing it tho

I just finished Lunar Chronicles and Cress was my favorite book as well. Thanks for the recommendation Rachel.❤

TOTALLY on the same page about Never... people seem to hate it, but I think you have to stick with it - and agree that reading the original Peter Pan was so helpful going in. Would love to see a 2023 reading journal wrap-up and if you'll be doing one in 2024!

I read Daisy Haites the great undoing too in December. It was 5/5🌟 for me too. I ship Julian with her sm. I bet they’re gonna end up together hopefully. can’t wait to read the 5th book in February.

I love the monthly reading wrap ups so much! Great job 🩷

Because of you I started the Magnolia Parks series and I've never been so obsessed with anything in my life! I'm on book 4 and I'm reading it so slowly just to make it last. I can't believe I have to wait for the next book, it's going to be torture after being able to binge the first 4. Thank you for introducing me to my new favorite series!!!

Harry Potter is my comfort series, I love the way it's written. If you continue the series you will be amazed at how much foreshaddowing is in the early books that brings deapth to the later books its incredible. Also I think they changed the name to make it more understandable in the US or something?

I'd love to see videos about like specific genre recommendations, such as top recommendations for fantasy or romance!!

I love videos where someone else chooses your reads.

rachel’s back - YAYYYYYY

Harry Potter starts off as middle grade and meant for younger kids but as the series goes on it veers a little more towards ya. I still think it can be enjoyed by anyone of any age and I would love to see your thoughts on the rest of the series!

It’s always such a pleasure to watch your videos your energy makes me so happy 🩷🧸

So excited when I saw you posted a video 😊 can't wait to see more in 2024

Amazing video Rachel!😸

Can you film a video on how to/how you annotate books? I got really into reading last year and I've already read 4 this year and really want to get into annotating but I have NO idea how to even start it or anything!!

I would love to see more features of scrapbooking or journalling about books. that sort of stuff ☺

I definitely recommend the rest of the Lovelight Farms books. My favourite was the 2nd one, In the Weeds, I’m a sucker for a quiet but romantic MMC haha. I hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year! I am going to QBD tomorrow to get Ruthless Vows and Emily Wildes Map of the Otherlands and I’m so excited to get absolutely lost in my coziest reads for the next couple days 😊😊😊

Love the way you did your review for Never🧚💫❄️ I really enjoyed it but I can 100% see why someone wouldn’t!

Never was a horrible book😅 with horrible characters, u r so gentle with the review

I loved your thoughts on being open-minded when it comes to first books of a series! I do agree :) I just picked up Never so I'm interested to see why its so mixed in terms of reviews

Happy New Year Rachel! I”m rereading Harry Potter and would love to have some one to discuss the series with.❤

I read two of my 23 books to read in 2023 in the first days of 2024, both were 5 stars, and I still have 4 that I didn't get to. But I got them all for Christmas so at least I own them.

I’m nervous to read Never because of the mixed reviews! But I think going in knowing that about the characters helps! I neeeed to finish the magnolia parks series first though!

If you like romance with a twist of thriller? I would highly suggest Nora Roberts. Yes I know she may not be what the cool kids are reading 😂 and some of her romances have a paranormal aspect, I.e.The Morrigan Cross trilogy (sorry, I can’t remember the proper name, that’s the first book), but I’ve always found her books to be enjoyable.

I feel like the only person who loved Never. I’m confused by people not liking the characters because they’re flawed, but for me the characters in Magnolia Parks are far more flawed and just as difficult to like.

Rachel I think if you like once upon a broken heart, you will like Legendary (book 2) more than Caraval. Different MC, Jacks shows up 🤭 Much more world building outside of their little island and the games!

Your thoughts on Never basically sum up my feelings on Divine Rivals 😅 I read it last month and I still can’t decide how I feel about it 😭 I think the hype is also clouding my vision a bit haha

Where did you listen to Tom Lake because I can’t seem to find it available in aus with Meryl narrating it

I know it would be hard work but I think it would be fun to see a hosting vlog

Love the intro lol 😂

i agree w you about Never- i just strongly disliked the characters SO much

Which audiobook narration did you listen to for Peter Pan? There is so many narrators 🙈

which app did you listen to for the audiobook of none of this is true? 💗

Please do reading journal flip through 🤍

Hi. Greetings from Azerbaijan. I support you. I love reading books🇦🇿

I wonder if you also read non fiction books or are you more drawn fiction only?

The Bible verse at the beginning. 🤍🤍🤍🤍 love.

i like never however jessa hastings writes her books WITH plots she is so not a no plots just vibes author

The original rumour was that Americans wouldn’t know what the Philosophers Stone was like everyone else knows it was a stone used in alchemy to turn base metals into gold!!! I believe the actual reason was to appeal to a wider audience.
