The ASMR in the beginning of this video is unmatched😍

@kiramccarthy7382 2 года назад

I've actually been reading a lot of books that YOU recommended this Summer! I have loved all of them so far! For Your Own Good (audio), Bunny, The Wicked Deep, Murder on the Orient Express (audio), The Paris Apartment (audio)... I'm currently reading If We Were Villains and I'm listening to A Good Girl's Guide to Murder. 🌴🥥🌴🥥

Ahhhh that book grabbing asmr is to die for

@Eparham413 2 года назад

I loved Finlay Donovan was killing it! Not only could I relate to the main character ( filled divorce last November) but also the book was set in where I grew up in Virginia. It read it at the perfect time where I needed encouragement when stepping into the unknown. Kepp making amazing content! I get so many book recs from you! -Erin

@leanngrabski3217 2 года назад

I really enjoyed Funny You Should Ask. Similar to Finlay Donovan it is a light and easy read with a great story. One of my favorite books of the year so far.

I finally read My Best Friends Exorcism and did enjoyed it. Other favorites this summer: The Girl Who Drank the Moon, Piranesi, The Empress of Salt and Fortune, Cackle, The Family Upstairs, The It Girl and Ive been bingeing on the audio's of Louise Penny's Three Pines Mysteries. My library finally got Legends and Lattes so Im on the list for it, Yay!

I read Finlay Donovan is Killing It because of your recommendation and I LOVED IT! Thanks so much!! I love light reads like this but at the same time interesting plot enough to get me hooked. It was perfect!

@moorin7455 2 года назад

Sourdough reminds me of A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher because of the interacting with the sourdough starter thing.

@dianaantal7356 2 года назад

I wanted to thank you for your recommendation of Piranesi. It is one of my favorites over the past decade. Looking forward to checking out some of these books as well.

The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires, My Best Friends Exorcism, Finlay Donovan is Killing It, and Legends and Lattes I'm definitely gonna pick up after I'm done with my Greek and Norse Retelling/Historical Fiction read-a-thon (Daughters of Sparta by Claire Heywood is honestly up there with Circe and The Song of Achilles for me) also love the cat scare lol

@librarikay 2 года назад

i can completely relate to your comment about how much you want to read more books that just make you happy like “legends & lattes” & “finley donavan is killing it”!! i actually had the same experience with “the league of gentlewomen witches” by india holton earlier this month, the 2nd book in her “dangerous damsels” series 🤍 it’s such a fun & chaotic book with an achingly sweet romance and a main character (charlotte) whose connection to magic as a witch made my reading experience feel even more impactful :’) i saw “the wisteria society of lady scoundrels” on your bookshelf and so idk if you’ve already read it but just know, that first book and then “the league of gentlewomen witches” can definitely give you that happy feeling that you’re looking for more; it’ll make you laugh and also maybe feel emotional because the main characters do have their moments, and so that’s a personal recommendation from me 🍦

@bookswithsamantha Год назад

I really want to read Legends and Latte’s now!

@catherinecharbonneau86 2 года назад

🍦 thank you ! 🙂

@bonniedoeswhat795 2 года назад

Books and Lala is checking out books that make her think of Finley Donavan is Killing it. I don’t remember her top picks, but Dial A for Aunties is a comedic book with accidental (?) death and hiding the body and antics. Might I suggest watching The Trouble with Harry?! It’s an older movie, very well done, comedy of errors with a little romance and a body that just won’t stay buried!

@applesandshananas1127 Год назад

Thanks to you, I have read Sourdough (LOVED) and The Strangers! I added some books from this video to my TBR, particularly looking forward to Sirens & Muses! 💛☕️

@Camila-rg2lh 2 года назад

This summer has been particularly stressful for me and I came to the same realisation you did, I found comfort mostly on rom-coms, they seem to be the only ones that lighten up my mood and take my mind out of life itself for a few hours. Finlay Donovan is Killing It will certainly make it to my TBR

@djinn9345 2 года назад

We have the same taste in books, so this video and the explanations are perfect. My list just keeps getting longer and longer each time you do a wrap up. Can't wait to read My Best Friends Exorcism and FINALLY The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires. I've read a ton this summer but Before We Were Strangers and My Dark Vanessa are definitely in my TOP for this year. 🍦

A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness

I will start Legends and Lattes this weekend and I can't wait 😍 Some of the best books I've read this summer are The Thursday Murder Club and the sequel The Man Who Died Twice, Dark Matter, Last Night at the Telegraph Club, and The Reindeer Hunters (Norwegian historical fiction). It's been a good reading season 🍹

@laurakaat252 2 года назад

🍦 Perfect cozy video! I loved Finlay Donavan is Killing It, and I remember enjoying Sourdough a few years ago. Lake vacay is coming up for me, and I always gift my MIL a new book before we leave. Perhaps I might get her Sourdough this time, a cozy low stress read.

Lexi! I just read both Grady Hendrix books too (I had no idea you were too) literally the greatest stories. I was telling my moms about them (she grew up in the 70s) and I describe Hendrix as what Stephan King must have been like for her generation!

@Victoria-kl7su 2 года назад

I would recommend ‘Halloween Party’ as your next Agatha Christie read (perfect for October) - also try out some Daphne Du Maurier which are very atmospheric - Jamaica Inn or Frenchman’s Creek. - more ‘classic’ English fiction

🍦🍦 Loved hearing about all your recent reads! One that I've read this summer that I really enjoyed is The Counselors. The atmosphere in the book is amazing! It felt like I was at the camp experiencing everything that was going on. It's a great book to transition from summer to spooky season! I also read these Grady Hendrix books in the same order you did and decided I was going to read all his books because I loved them SO much! I read The Final Girls Support Group by him this summer as well. I didn't like it as much as My Best Friend's Exorcism or The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires, but it was still worth the read and very enjoyable!

@katpablo 2 года назад

@LauraOtermat 2 года назад

🍨 My favorite book of the summer is Interstellar Pig by William Sleator. It's teen sci-fi. There's a bit of 1980's-style misogyny, but it's about a cosy beach house in the summer and a teen who would rather read books or play board games than anything else.

I just ordered Legends and Lattes - I cannot wait to pick that one up! My favorite reads this summer were Search by Michelle Huneven (a surprising story about a church committee brought together to search for their next minister - these folks all get to know each other far more than they ever wanted, absurd power dynamics and recipes!) and on audio Musical Chairs by Amy Poeppel (CT Countryside summer plans upended and hilarity ensues). Now I am ready for all the fall reads! 🍦

@sarahbastien4845 2 года назад

These book options look amazing! I haven't had the best summer in regards to finding new books. I'm on my 7th book of the summer- 5 of them have been rereads and 2 new to me. I enjoyed all the rereads and didn't like either of the new ones 🤦‍♀Although I did start unofficially reading "Book Lovers" on a flight last month and I really liked that! September's probably going to be a lot of rereads too, but I'm planning to end the year with a couple very-anticipated new releases and some other new-to-me books, so hopefully I choose some good ones!

@samanthaaiello 2 года назад

I read and loved Finding Fortune by Delia Ray. It’s a cozy middle grade mystery. If you enjoy low stakes mysteries (non-scary) with wonderful atmosphere, this is for you. Because of the cozy vibes, it is a calm read. Highly recommend!
