The first book that popped into my mind was the final Harry Potter book. That was the first time I was seriously anxiously awaiting a book release. It was also the first book I wanted to finish so badly but the idea of finishing it actually made me sad because I didnt want the story to be over, i wasnt ready to leave the characters and the world. HP was also the first fantasy books I ever read because i always thought I didnt like them lol

@mrsbravo728 2 года назад

I love to read series books. I think that the HP series was the first series I ever read. It was definitely the start of my love for reading. I also agree, I was so sad that it was ending when the 7th book came out. I could live in the HP world. 🖤📚

@jimgilbert9984 Год назад

I hated that they left out the true ending of the last book (which was the ending for the whole series) from the movie. At the end of the last movie, when Harry, Hermione, and Ron watched the train pull out and the screen faded to black, we should have seen the last three words from the book appear: All is well.

@HealedandThriving 2 года назад

I had to explain this to my 10 yo this year. He read the first 4 Harry Potter books at age 7 and this year finished the series and loved it but I could tell he was full of emotion. He broke down in tears and said he could never read them for the first time again. He has since reread them all❤

@jimgilbert9984 Год назад

One picture related to the Harry Potter books always pops into my head whenever I think about them. It's not any of the art, nor anything from the movies. It's from a news story about the release of one of the later books. The camera man focused on a little 5 year old girl hugging the book as if holding it to her heart. You could see it on her face that she couldn't wait for her mom to buy the book and take her and it home to read it to her. It gives me a warm feeling every time I remember that image. Pretty much like the feeling I get when I see kids excited to be in a bookstore. (This last happy feeling is largely because I'm pleased to see kids who want to experience the joy of reading, but also partly because I used to be an elementary school teacher.)

@paigemayer4531 Год назад

I read the first Harry Potter book when I was 10. I decided to dedicate the time to reread it again for the first time in over a decade and a half and it feels like I'm reading it for the first time all over again. There are so many little details of the books that I had forgotten after 15+ years so it's like I get to discover and experience the magic with Harry all over again.

I wish I could read Jane Eyre for the first time. I’m so grateful I didn’t have to read it in high school because I don’t think I’d appreciate the story as much as I did as an adult. It was just an immersive experience that I remember trying to feel the same emotions again by listening to it on audio then watching films inspired by the book. Nothing felt like that initial read. It’s also the book I’ve re-read the most. Oof. My heart!

@willowwillow1969 2 года назад

I accidentally discovered it at the library. I then found the miniseries someplace. I loved the first 2/3, but felt the end was a long time coming. I have a tough time when the character I liked from the start isn't in the end. I couldn't really switch up my loyalty. My disdain for the mean guy stayed constant. I did love the descriptive way the world was told. I might give that a 2nd look.

I read this book last year because of one of your recommendation videos, and I have to be honest...it was the only book I read last year that I came close to DNFing. I just did not get it at first. But I stuck with it and then about 1/2-3/4 of the way through the book, things started clicking for me more and I understood the writing style better and....omg....definitely one of my favorite books of all time! It was the most beautiful story and made me laugh and cry and feel all the feels. I wanted to tell everyone about this book! I talked to my husband for hours about it lol. The reading experience was incredible and I would love to go back and read this for the first time again too. And a huge thank you to you for recommending it!

I think I would "sell my soul" to go back and read for the first time would be Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. It is the book that got me into reading the classics and English literature as well as some American heavy weight authors. She expanded my world and Jane Austen is the penultimate for me. This book touched my soul. I have been having a love affair with Jane Austen ever since. It's nice that there are literally millions of books and genres that compel us to expand our world and escape.

Hearing it nearby and then seeing how much it destroyed where I lived was devastating and scary. It was also the very start of the pandemic. It was one of the scariest and most horrible times ever and that book comforted me and found me exactly when I needed a little bit of hope in my life. But 10/10 would notttt want to relive reading that for the first time again hahaha.

☕️ The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah would be the number 1 book on my list to go back and reread. I have literally read this book about 5-6 times because it’s that good and I also cried! Can’t recommend it enough! 2. Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens Also can’t recommend this enough!! It’s a mystery/partially a thriller. Does have some of a twist at the end and to me it just blew my mind! 3. The Silent Patient I just finished this one last week and I couldn’t put this book down! That plot twist at the end literally made me gasp out loud in my break room with all my coworkers around eating lunch. You rack your brain of who could’ve done this to Alicia and it was not who you were expecting! Loved it!! 4. I’m currently reading A Flicker in the Dark by Stacy Willingham which I think you recommended in one of your more recent videos. I’m about halfway and I love this book so far! Can’t wait to get to the end and find out what happens! Great video as always Lexi and I hope you have a wonderful day filled with great books and delicious coffee and tea ❤️

Why did I get teary-eyed when she held up I'll Give You the Sun? That book is everything. I am a girl that gets it and I'm SO HAPPY that she gets it too. My heart. 🥰

Writing style wise, I'll Give You The Sun might just be the best book I've read in a long, long time. Witty, metaphor-heavy, and imaginative writing like that is not easy to come by, sadly. I realize it might not be everyone's cup of tea, but for me, personally, this book checked all the boxes. Amazing, multi-dimensional characters (they'e not picture perfect, they don't always make laudable decisions, and just none of them are guilt free) combined with amazing writing and some really important themes like family relationships, art, coming-of-age issues, romance) make for an absolutely incredible read. And honestly, I think Jandy Nelson managed to create one of the most loveable characters of all time because if you don't absolutely adore Noah, despite his flaws and mistakes, then did you even read this book amirite 😂 Thank you for including I'll Give You The Sun in your video and saying so many good things about it. I haven't seen a lot of people mentioning it, which is a real shame. If I could, I'd scream about this book everywhere, to everyone -- it definitely deserves much more attention!

“Of Human Bondage”, I wish I could read for the first time again. It is such a classic, I have read it 3 times.

When you said it was a recommendation from your friend cat, I head “my friend’s cat.” And I think of you as such a magical person that it made sense so I went with it. If any booktuber would talk yo animals to get book recommendations it would be you.

Slaughter House 5 is my favourite book of all time and I completely agree. I read it for an AP English class when I was 15 or 16 and was not expecting to like it. I now read it at least once a year.
