Welcome to the Read with Val channel! As a passionate reader, my mission is to shine a spotlight on incredible books written by underrepresented authors. This channel was born in Spring 2020 with a simple goal - to share the joy of reading through 100 book talks during that summer. Little did I know that reaching that milestone would only fuel my excitement to keep going!
Read with Val has been featured in publications such as The New York Times, YAYOMG! Girls Who Shine, and Owlcrate Junior magazine. It's been an absolute thrill to see the channel grow and connect with fellow book lovers.
Join me on this literary adventure as we explore diverse stories, celebrate underrepresented voices, and dive into the magic of reading. Together, let's discover captivating books that will inspire, entertain, and leave a lasting impact.

Hey Valerie! I just wanted to say something. I normally order my books online and sometimes they don’t have some pages where I can see if it’s my style or not. Every time I see a book that looks interesting I always go to your channel to find it, and you help me a lot. I’m always comfortable choosing books now because I can just go to your channel and see what’s the story of the book! Thank you so much for helping me ❤ keep posting!
Hello! Thank you so much for sharing that! It really means a lot to me that you appreciate my content and comments like yours keep me motivated! What are your favorite recent books? ❤
@@ReadwithVal Hi! Thank you so much for hearting my comment and replying! My recent favorite books are probably a few of Kayla millers graphic novels.. I’m pretty sure you’ve book talked one or two of them, You did besties: work it out, I believe. My recent favorites from this incredible author might just be: act, camp, and break Thanks again! ❤️
@@ReadwithVal yes, this was solid. Good for beginners. Some thrillers and mysteries can be very out there and freak people out if they’re new to the genres.
Greetings Val, Thank you for the wonderful review and your amazing initiative to do something like this. “I hope you dance” by Lee Ann Womack is a song that came to mind as I was writing this book. You rock, keep showing initiative and never listen to those who tell you not to try. All the best Gabriel M Zubizarreta
Hello Gabriel, Thank you so so much for this kind comment! It truly made my week! I loved your book and will def check out the song you recommended! Best, Val
I've read it before I think you should do a video of you reading the whole story you'd be really good at it. My name is Val to what's your name or full name
@@ReadwithVal Yes I really enjoyed it! My favourite character was Mina, definitely. Historical Fiction is one of the genres I really enjoy too! Did you read The Book Thief yet? I really enjoyed that one ❤
@@ReadwithVal I loved it even when it got sad at times and I’m happy and relived her & Darren are together. Nope my parents aren’t like hers but I think some of the kids at my school have parents like hers a bit
