I Read the Most Popular Books on Goodreads 

“How well did you entertain us with your trauma” was a wild way to put it… BUT SO TRUE 🫣

Feeling so validated by my (low) rating of The Ocean at the End of the Lane. Like such an interesting concept but it's SO boring! Also I'm reading Mistborn this summer and you've given me hope!!

THE MAMA MARIE CAMEO 😍😍😍😍😍

I mean this in the best possible way, the opening lewk is giving sapphic vampire vibes

I read The Ocean at the End of the Lane on vacation like 10 years ago and still remember it so negatively. Not vacation vibes.

Loved this video idea! I would love a version of this but with the least popular books on your tbr!☺️

Highly suggest continuing the Thursday Murder Club books. Now that you know the characters, everything else falls into place. The second and fourth ones are definitely my favorites

You’re so right about Neil being a great audio book narrator. I listened to Coraline on audio and lovedddd listening to his voice.

Your mum's review was great!

I loved this! The end of Mistborn also destroyed me. Your mom is so pretty! And I agree -- Stardust the movie is VERY different from the book, but the book is lovely and has some real satisfying plot points that wrap up really well

I will say that Startdust is my favorite Gaiman because but even Gaiman has said he prefers the adaptation (which I also love).

I barely made it through the first 15 minutes of this video before I immediately wanted to reread Mistborn! Can't wait to see your thoughts on the rest of the series :)

That was my reaction when I got to that part in Mistborn 😭 I sobbed like a baby. I’m rereading it for the 3rd time right now. I’m so happy you liked it!

Giiiiiirll I also had never read Sanderson before I read Tress a month or two ago and am planning to jump into Mistborn (FINALLY) very soon!

Thursday Murder Club does get better! My favorite is the 4th book, I think they get progressively better throughout the series.

I loved Educated because she talked about how her family was telling her she was the one destroying the family because she was speaking up about her mistreatment, and that perspective helped me so much to deal with things going on in my family (which luckily were nowhere near as horrible as hers). I wanna read Mistborn later this year, I am soooo glad you enjoyed it. Your reactions to the end of Mistborn 1 reminded me of my reactions to the end of She Who Became the Sun/He Who Drowned the world. I think you might like those, too. It's so cool you've read the book with your mom, thanks for sharing her thoughts, too!

I loooove the 'Stardust' movie, adore the 'Stardust' book and also think 'The Ocean at the End of the Lane' is dull 😂 I think you should take the plunge and try reading 'Stardust'!

I’m so glad to know that I’m not the only one who thought The Ocean at the End of the Lane was boring! It’s one of my friends favorite books, and she was so mad at me that I didn’t like it 🤣

the outfits in this video are soooo goodddd🫶🏻

I'm so happy for a new video from you 💜 I've loved Mistborn and have Thursday Murder Club on my tbr, I can't wait to hear your thoughts on these.

I knew the ending of mistborn was going to get you😢

I love watching you love mistborn… it’s so good!

Fun video! I’m reading Thursday Murder Club rn! Loved hearing you and your mom’s reviews!

I really enjoyed Tress too and it was my first book by him, I’m also planning to read Mistborn next 😊

This is a fun reading vlog idea 😊

I'm fairly new to the channel, so I can't say with confidence if you will enjoy these, BUT- I absolutely LOVED❤ both Educated and Ocean At The End Of The Lane. They were both 5 stars for me!!

I’m so happy u liked mistborn💜💜💜. Please keep going and I really think u should try warbreaker

i havent read Thursday murder club but my friend really likes them and i think each one is better than the last. she gave the 4th 5 stars and it made her sOB haha so i think you'll enjoy them if you like the characters 😊 (ps. all your outfits in this video.. so immaculate omg❤)

omg I have the SAME problem as you for Neil Gaiman - the adaptations of his work? wonderful, but I don't really like reading his books

Oh, wow, love this idea! I haven't read any of these myself. I don't read popular books all that often either XD

I've read Educated and Ocean at the End of the Lane and i loved them both!

Loved reading some of Gaiman’s books, Ocean At The End Of The Lane, being the first book that I had initially read.

I read the 1st and 2nd Thursday Murder Club and agree with what you’ve heard-the 2nd is much better (I listened to the audiobook which I highly recommend!!)

It also took me about a month to read mistborn! But i also really enjoyed it, I gave it 4.5 stars

Thursday murder club series is just brilliant ❤

Great vlog 📚🧋🌈🍄💐

oh i canNOT wait until you get to the next 2 books of Mistborn based on what you liked about book 1!!!

Great vlog x

You need to read Warbreaker after you finish Mistborn. I think you're going to love that one!

I highly recommend the audiobooks for Thursday Murder Club! And they absolutely get better!

I’ve only read educated and I think it’s a great memoir. Really well written. I read it when it first came out and I would still recommend it.

i was so scared you wouldn't like mistborn lol i'm so happy you enjoyed it!! i just reread it and still cried at the ending, even knowing what would happen. the second book has a really interesting "animal" companion relationship. also i read the ocean at the end of the lane like 8 years ago, remember almost none of it except for the fact i didn't like it

Tara Westover came to my university in 2018 or 2019 and She was so nice and let me take a pic of us even tho I was like the last person in the signing line

I also find Neil Gaiman books boring but enjoy the adaptations. If you love the Stardust movie (just like me!), really don't bother with the book. It's not it at all. So glad you enjoyed Mistborn, and we all love Kelsier!

I NEED your PJ’S they are so damn cuuuuute 🤩🤩🤩

I feel EXACTLY the same as you about Neil Gaiman. I love every single adaptation of his I’ve seen but I’ve read 3 of his books and given them all 3 stars and honestly that’s being generous…

You made me cry just watching you read the ending of The Final Empire.

Stardust is one of my favourite movies too! I read the book after and I didn't like it nearly as much unfortunately. Although I also didn't really like The Final Empire, so hopefully you will have a better experience than me!

The epic fantasy music made me happy.

Me watching you read Mistborn like 🫣

Have you watched bridgerton season 3? Penelope looks so much like you. That's a striking resemblance. And I'm enjoying it so far. It's been a while since you did reset vlog.

I read Educated years ago and really enjoyed it

I've wanted to ask you before, but chickened out. What hankerchief headbands do you wear? They are lovely and I'd like to buy some. Thank you!

I haven't read any of the others but I read Thursday Murder Club a couple of years ago, I remember really enjoying it, think I rated it 4.5 stars. I've been considering starting some of the Brandon Sanderson but I'm kind of scared of the length of most of his books

May i ask what the shelves are called/where they're from at 18.23? They're so nice 😍

I think you will enjoy Emperor's Soul by Sanderson. It is a novella. 😊

I felt similarly about The Ocean at the End of the Lane, and about Neil Gaiman in general. His books always sound like something I'll love but the writing style keeps the characters at a distance so I can't get as emotionally invested in them as I would otherwise and I end up bored. Stardust is one of my favorite movies too, and I liked the book just fine but not nearly as much. It's a bit darker and more folkloric feeling than the movie, but again I wasn't as invested in the characters as I should have been.

I feel like ending of Ocean at the End of the Lane went straight over my head. I didn't understand it at all. It felt like the ending of The Crane Husband: what did i just read and why did it end this way?

we stan a marty cameo

I felt the same about The Ocean at the End of the Lane. I feel like Educated is mismarketed. It's not so much about her getting an education, but about the abuse and trauma she suffered from her childhood into adulthood. I was not a fan.

Stardust is not a terrible book, but it is not as amazing as the movie and I never say that about books vs movies!

I find Neil’s books generally fall a bit flat - that being said I did enjoy Stardust - the movie is also superb

Stardust is also one of my favourites comfort movies. I also read the book and it was a big disappointment, I sadly don't recommend it.

How do I find the most popular from my tbr? I assume it has to be done through a PC, since I can't find the option in the app😅

My Neil Gaiman loving heart 💔

I want you to read Maria V. Snyder's books.

❤❤❤

🖤🖤✨

I always say this, Mistborn (or whatever which first book it was) is one of the most boring books I have ever read. Same with Locke Lamore. And how the heck is Osmans book rated so high? It was aswell so boring when I read it:/

I'm gonna predict that you won't like Stardust, unfortunately :( I didn't mostly because there was too much potty humor in it? It totally came out of left field for me. But Stardust really reads like a male main character written by a man. So I really just couldn't connect with it as much as I could the movie. The movie is one of my all time favorites, so I was really disappointed by the book unfortunately

, sowwy beau but I couldn’t stand him in the book
