✨Rainy Day Reading Vlog | Mexican Gothic, Where the Crawdads Sing, and bookstore shopping✨ 

Your idea of a night at home with jazz music, a puzzle, soft audiobook playing and fancy brie 👌🏻 goals

You make bookworming cool! I just needed to put this out there!

THIS is a really big book store!! 😰 Never seen something like that wooooow!!

OMG THAT FIRST PUZZLE YOU HELD UP 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I really need to read Where the Crawdads Sing. Your cozy night looked lovely.

@24:30 I agree 💯 with you re: Mexican Gothic …creepy gross 🤢 grotesque incredibly atmospheric and well written. all the spooky icky vibes and just like you I can’t Watch it and still can’t unsee so many things I read 😂 💕 5/5 ⭐️ for me. The audio 🎧 was sooo so fire 🔥 also don’t read it late at night alone or in a hotel like me 😂

Just starting the video...38 min...OOMMGGGGGGG 😍

I'm totally with you that thrillers and horrors suit first person more!!

I have 5 or 6 puzzles that I need to do. I have a few audiobooks I can choose from and I can’t wait to have a cozy night

your "WOO WOOOOO" had me dying😂😂

I just love your idea of a great day! Books, puzzles, calming music...❤

I agree! I recently realized that I also HATE watching scary stuff but LOVE reading it :)

Oh my... A Million Junes is one of my favorite books! I listened to the bulk of it a couple years ago while working and I remember having to leave my desk multiple times because I would be nearly sobbing. Everything about this book is so beautiful. I’m so happy you loved it too!

You are my favorite! Love all the vibes you give off!

Loved seeing this in dept reading vlog! Can’t wait to discuss the School for Good and Evil

Love that I'm wearing my Hozier tour tshirt as I'm watching this ♡

Hehe low key buddy read, yeah here I come, a week later finishing the buddy read. ooppsss. But so glad I have someone to discuss the book with! THERE'S SO MUCH TO DISCUSS!

Loved the video! That Mexican Gothic book jacket was trying to escape lol

Mexican Gothic sounds so good. I just finished Home Before Dark and loved it!

Take me to church by Hozier is so good!

I’m so so glad that you enjoyed Where the Crawdads Sing, it’s definitely one of my favourite books of the year so far. It definitely caught me off guard as well.

Yesss another vlog! 💃😍

What a cozy, relaxing vlog! I loved the music and food & drinks so much 💕

Thank u for making my day wonderful!!!😍🥰🥰😘

I love your reading vlogs, they always brighten up my day

Always look forward to your videos. You give me so much energy to get through the week and you motivate me to read and take care of myself. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for what you do ♥️

A Million Junes is one of my favorites. Such a beautiful story! I felt the same about Where the Crawdads Sing; personally a four star, but I gave it a 4.5. I looooved Mexican Gothic but it’s definitely pretty gruesome at times! Love that you’ve been diving into thriller/horror genres more in recent days!

I agree totally about Mexican Gothic just finished it. Spot on review. 👍

Was so interesting to hear your thoughts on Mexican Gothic - I'm hoping to pick it up next week and I have no idea whether I'll like it or not! Also, your little bit trying to pronounce 'Horror' gave me such a good giggle!

Reading vlogs are one of my favourite videos to watch 🤩🤩🎀🎀

That’s one of my favorite jazz albums!! And this whole video was such a vibe!! I absolutely loved it haha 👌🏽😄

I just started the audiobook for Mexican Gothic. So far, I am loving it!

This was so cozy!

Love your puzzles! i just got 2 puzzles and I really need to start in on them!

love your reading vlog so much !!! I will definitely pick up A million Junes

Hey Lexi, I'm back for a few videos today. I figured that since I was not reading anymore (wanting to take a break from what I was reading) and had nothing to do but be bored all day, I thought "why not watch Lexi's videos?" So, here I am! I think I will watch at least 2 or 3 videos today, and I'll see if I can watch some more tomorrow, but I have something going on, so not sure if I can do anything else tomorrow... I have not read A Million Junes yet, but it's on my TBR still, of course. If I can, I will buy it in California. See you in the next video!

I’m just desperate for some good old fashioned pumpkin fun. Ya know what I’m sayin?😂😂 yes, yes I know🎃

ahh grey eyeshadow looks so good on you!

I definitely thought for a second from the editing that you dipped a puzzle piece into the Brie 😰🤣

I have been needing it to be fall so bad and this video gave me ALL the fall vibes I have been desperately needing!

Your vlogs are a real beauty🤩🤩🤩

I really enjoyed this weekly reading vlog because I love how you're so into the books and you give your full opinions on them talking about the good and the bad & I think that's it's a nice trait of yours. Since you recommended many books to us, I would like to recommend a book series to you called The Neopolitan Novels by Elena Ferrante. I read them last year and I absolutely love them so much and if you ever do read them, I would like to know your full opinions on them! I hope you're having a lovely day :) ♡♡♡

I’m so excited for Autumn! I love Hamilton too! I’m also super duper excited for the Wonderland Readathon in September!

Shakespeare retelling? YA fantasy? I’m in!!!

One of my favorite videos and also the first one I watched. Because of this one I read Mexican gothic and absolutely loved it! Now that I've been following @zoeyreads I know who you're talking about. She also inspired me to get some puzzles!

I love McKay’s!! We have one in my town and it is literally my favorite place to get books

Ahhhh I’m so glad you loved A Million Junes! I feel like no one else loves that book but I love it so much! 😭 THE ENDING OF WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING. I’m messaging you right now! I’m still not over it. 😂 Oooh that’s super interesting about the gothic horror genre. I didn’t know that! I’m still terrified to read Mexican Gothic though. Haha

your videos are amazing!!! have a great week lexi :)

ahh your record player is so pretty 🥰 glad you found a new favourite!

Records, yes! If I had space for them, that's what I would have. I don't have space for CDs either but that's okay, we have Spotify for that now. Not sure what type of music I would buy, though. I'd have to think long and hard about that one. A Million Junes, I need to read that soon. Thanks for the reminder. Actually, it's in my Audible cart so it's coming to the TBR soon. I'm probably gonna buy the physical copy as well. I love your shelves. I dream of one day having a house where I can have a good 2 full floors or so dedicated just to books. Maybe one floor for middle grade and another for YA but then I would have to find a way to store any adult books I may acquire. And picture books. I need to think about this one too. It's been raining here this morning as well. Not sure if it's still raining but I can't hear it now. Maybe it's over. Where the Crawdads Sing was a 5 star read for me. It was the 2nd book I read after I came back to reading and after I finished all of Carrie Fisher's books (should I count her books as the first ones I read when I came back to reading or should I start with Eleanor Oliphant and Crawdads? LOL). I loved it so much that it made me decide to keep reading (same with Carrie's books) so I feel that it's responsible for me not giving up on reading. I didn't have much luck with a bunch of the next books I read at that time. 2018. Horrible books for a long while after Crawdads and Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine. Those 2 were my first 2 (after Carrie's 5 books) and 5 stars and now on my top reads of all-time. :) I read Crawdads in 3 days! Took me 2 weeks for Eleanor, though. LOL Still awesome!

Ah that's sounds like a good time to this introvert as well! 🙈Just found your channel and subscribed! x

All the books you read here I want to read. Watching you enjoy these was great on my end. And also, I really love Hozier as an artist and if you like him you might like Tamino. I will recommend to begin with Indigo Night

Omg Lexi, this video 😍

The synopsis for Mexican Gothic makes me think of one of classic you got for your birthday My cousin Rebecca???

Omygosh! Seeing you with that Thelonious Monk & John Coltrane album made my heart so HAPPY! Coltrane is a fave of mine & that is a perfect vibe for a Friday! 🤗🤗🤗 I want to check out Mexican Gothic! It’s on my list of reads! 📚📚📚 Well, Best Wishes with school, Lexi! ☺️✨✨ Love you!💕💕💕 Happy Friday! Happy Reading! 🤓📚✨

Do you speak Spanish??? You pronounce the authors name so well!!

I love McKays!! I just go to the Knoxville edition (😆)!! I spend way too much time and money there!! Sorry you didnt get anything there this time!!

she’s really pretty

your makeup at 17:00 is SO GOOD cool tones look so amazing on you !!! also this vlog was so calming and I NEED to know where you got your record player

Could these videos be any better? No. No they could not be

Love how you describe "Mexican gothic". Which audio app do you use?😊 Here in the Caribbean island of trinidad and Tobago, I cant find a copy of "where the crawdads sing"

I had to wait to watch your vlog until after I finished reading Mexican Gothic! But now I'm here!! OMG YOU TALKING ABOUT DIRTY CHAIS! AAAHHH that's so wild, I hadn't even watched your vlog when I messaged you the other day all "have you ever heard of dirty chais? well let me explain what a dirty chai is." Oh my goodness I am a COWARD

"WHAT A RUSH" Lexi I also get a rush from puzzling

Yup, body horror was PRESENT. Oooofff trying not to remember that one section.

I love you and your beautiful channel please stay safe love John from Australia keep up your amazing work

Can I just say that this video soothed my soul? Amazing as usual. Also...what book clubs are you a part of? Please let me know so I can join you. 💜

I need to find a copy of Mexican gothic AH

私も本読みたいけど、途中で飽きてしまうから一冊読みきれない……尊敬の域😨

How high is your bookcase with the ladder. I love your decorating style

A Lexi vlog ✨✨✨

oh my gosh LEXI! I forgot you were re-watching Umbrella Academy, have you gotten to season 2! Oh my goodness, I need to message you ASAP

Aww what kind of dog do you have?

A tip for saying "horror" from the theatre world: if you pronounce it with more of an "ah" sound like "hah-rror" it sounds less like "whore"! I think everyone, everywhere has this problem as well! :)

Kisses from Brazil.

Just found your channel and loving it! Do you have a recommendation for a gothic book?

THE BRIE 🤤

I'm in grad school too! What are you majoring in?

I’m at the part of the vlog where you’re on page 199 of Mexican Gothic and talking about how grotesque it is. You poor thing, it’s only going to get worse. 😬 I appreciated the creepiness. It didn’t cross any lines for me, but everyone’s line is different.

How do you make the bri?

did you finish it season 2 of the umbrella academy??? what did you think about it?

Oh man, I love the story of Mexican Gothic, but I didn’t really like Noemi. She frustrated me so much. I gave it 4 stars because I did enjoy it though. The Random House website has paper dolls of Noemi you can print out. I liked Where the Crawdads Sing. I loved the nature writing, but again I didn’t love Kaya. I just wish she didn’t turn into a manic pixie dream girl. I gave it a four also though. 😂

I need to try again with a where the crawdads sing again. I really disliked the narration but I’ll definitely need to pick it back up.

Mexican Gothic...i thought the most disgusting parts revolved around the old man. lol I didn't finish that book...I don't think gothic horror is my thing
