Lexi we need a story time on how you convinced your mom to let you skip school and read Pillars of the Earth again 😂❤️

@khalilahd. Год назад

You know a book is good when you have such a deep emotional reaction to it like this. I’m definitely taking a few of these recommendations ❤

@alexandraroselyn Год назад

Yay! I hope you find some you like!!

@aliewilde5674 Год назад

The best cozy Fantasy I've ever read : Sorcery of thorns. Girl grows up in a magical library and can communicate with the books.. yes please Also.. the wayward children series... Couldn't agree more. ❤️❤️

@nicoledecleene7161 Год назад

Oh my gosh. World Without End, the sequel to Pillars of the Earth, changed my life! I was at my local library (probably about 16 as well!) and pulled it off the shelf at random and it was one of those that just felt right my hands. Holy crap I had no idea what I was in for! SO good!! I had no idea it was a sequel until years later. 💕

@dorothyturner6362 Год назад

Just finished "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" in one sitting today. Absolutely LOVED it! I feel like I can always count on Lexi to give us some SOLID recommendations❤️

@alexandraroselyn Год назад

I’m so glad you loved it too Dorothy!!!! 🥹❤️❤️❤️

@rlewis9562 Год назад

Nothing on RU-vid cheers me up as watching your channel Lexi, thank you so much for being such a positive, happy person! Xx

@emmacharles8028 Год назад

So many great books! 💕 I love Magic Lessons by Alice Hoffman and The Hobbit!

@lewisgennery8897 Год назад

Your videos honestly never fail to make me smile Lexi, you're just such a ray of sunshine 🌞

Omg thank you so much!! 🥹😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

@udishaverma7862 Год назад

Gosh! I just realised that most of the recent books I read are recommended by you and my tbr as well is filled with ur books! 💕💕

@jaimebarajas-hernandez6045 Год назад

I have never cried, bawled really as much as I did with TSOA. No other book has ever had the same reaction. I wish I could take a whole class on the Song of Achilles 💕💕💕

@Soulpiece Год назад

Yay! Thank you for taking the time and having the courage to post this! We appreciate you so much!

@sarahcox4180 Год назад

My favorite book so far is Under the Whispering Door. I absolutely loved it!!💕

@priisawallflower Год назад

This is the main reason why you're my favorite booktuber, Lexie! Your favorite books are some of my favorite books! Ahhhh 🤩🥰

@esliet Год назад

You got it so right on Orquidia Divina stepping into a painting ! Oh my I wrote down all your recommendations I have not read , excellent video 💕

@judithcakelover Год назад

So many of these are also my faves❤️ or are I want to read them for a while now. Now I'm even more excited to read them. 😁🦊💕

@lauraa1345 Год назад

Thank you so much for all these recommendations, Lexi ! My want to read list won't stop growing 💕💕

@aliciab8824 Год назад

I absolutely love your videos! I am an extremely avid reader and I am so happy whenever your videos come out! Thank you so much! My personal recommend Wild Beauty by Anne Marie McLemore. It got me out of a reading slump and I felt as though I was actually in the world while I was reading it. It was one of those books where I forgot that I was reading and not actually part of the world. Again, thank you so much for your videos, they make me so happy! 💕💕

@reevefenick164 Год назад

I haven't ready ANY of your favorites and I trust your reading taste so much that I think I now have a very long list of books to read now! You are a literal human ray of sunshine and you have great taste in books! My favorite book of all time is Little Women. The 1st time I read it was when I was in the 4h grade. The book was basically as big as me lol. And I remember falling in love with it and wanting to be just like the March girls. It was the book that made me fall in love with reading. It has such a coziness and whimsy to it and it makes my heart so happy every time I pick it up.

@danahamstra3989 Год назад

💕 I’ve read quite a few of these books on your recommendation and they’ve become my favourites as well! If We Were Villains especially is one that I absolutely loved and I’m not sure if I would have picked it up without your recommendation so thank you!

@stefanienordstrom6750 Год назад

I love that you skipped school to reread Pillars of the Earth. So very epic. My favorite book of all time is Tale of Two Cities. The writing is chef's kiss and I love how Dickens can take a cast of characters who seemingly have no connection and spin a story that weaves their lives together - so very human. My favorite adult fiction non-classic would have to be The Shell Seekers by Rosamunde Pilcher. Every time I read it (and rarely I reread anything, but this...) I ach to write a story that would affect folks like this does me. Love it so much. SAA's Garden Spells is close second and I for sure would recommend that one to you. 🦊💕

@lawkwardchronicles Год назад

💕 The Song of Achilles is also my favorite book of all time! Listen… I know it’s hyped up a lot, but ACOTAR is so so good especially for those who love Greek mythology due to the inspiration she took from Psyche and Eros’ and Persephone and Hades’ stories

@safiamanal Год назад

Was desperately waiting for this video ! Iam gonna read them all super soon ! Lysm lexii ❤❤❤❤

@alexandraroselyn Год назад

LYSM tooooo

@pattireinheimer5612 Год назад

Talk Before Sleep by Elizabeth Berg is a serious tear jerker that had me sobbing and immediately getting a copy for my bestie so she could sob as well. 💕

@FaeryLaume Год назад

This video led to a long conversation between hubby and I about our favorite books. So many of mine were parts of series, and I loved them in their entirety, not as stand alones, which made it difficult to decide. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane.

@kantui525 Год назад

Lexi, if you haven't already I highly recommend reading (and then watching) Call Me by Your Name. Its a tear jerker, its a coming of age, it makes you want to live on an italian orchard and appreciate art and history.

@LemmyCaution66 Год назад

Again a enjoyable book video that prepared me for the weekend. Thank you 💕

@bujobyfilo Год назад

Literally 6 of these books were already on my tbr! It was great hearing you feel so passionate about them. I only have read 1 on this list 🙈

@meghanwalsh8952 Год назад

I loved neon gods but electric idol, omg so so so good!!!!

@untitledmanuscript Год назад

@Amystudio Год назад

Pillars of the Earth is one of my all time favorites.

@Lana-ou8vu Год назад

You always make me so happy and get excited to read more wonderfull books! 💕

@hopenparker Год назад

💕 favorite book of mine when I was younger is my side of the mountain. So many of these books on your list are on my want to read list.

@andieland1923 Год назад

💕💕 So agree with the cozy books, those are all my favorites as well. For favorites you didn't mention, the Spellbreaker duology and the Murderbot Diaries I also really love! If you want to cry though, How the Penguins Saved Veronica is also really good.

@KatsLovinLife Год назад

I have read 11 of these and they are great choices! Almost all of the rest are on my TBR. 💕

@catiehall416 Год назад

a lot of your recs have made it onto my goodreads list! 💕

@tammycrews2067 Год назад

So many more books to read!!💕

@catelyntalks Год назад

I read the magician nephew when I was a kid and had no idea what I was reading at the time as far as who wrote it. But it still holds a special place in my heart.

@bentersbookshelf Год назад

I have read some of these but I really need to read the rest! I love having a reference video for your fave books 🦊🦊🦊🦊

@nknutson780 Год назад

@JenniferClark-po3bx Год назад

I really loved South of Broad by Pat Conroy. It is the only book I have read multiple times and I enjoy it more each time I read it.❤

@rockyjreads Год назад

So many amazing books here! The Song of Achilles is a book I could not put down when I read it! And Pillars of the Earth is on my tbr for this year! 💕🦊

@SINW Год назад

One of the best thrillers I have ever read was Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter. It is NOT for the faint of heart and has several content warning necessary themes with the violence, but it is an incredible thriller.

💕love this video. So many books on my tbr now

@alorainautumn Год назад

This was fantastic and made me excited to read and re-read tons of books! It’s so difficult to pick a favorite (as you know, as you had a list of 100 😂), but I adore A Monster Calls, This is How You Lose the Time War, Autobiography of Red, and The Name of the Wind 💕

@MoJordanReads Год назад

The Ocean at the End of the Lane and Neverwhere are two of my favorite books ever! Especially listening to the audio books!

@janisjay Год назад

girl i feel the same about The One! i always recommend it! i ended up watching the TV adaptation but it sadly didn’t follow the book. thanks for all the recs 💖

@sydneypaterson1013 Год назад

Most of these books are also my favourites of all time.. probably because you were the one to recommend them to me to begin with and when you recommend them I fall in love with the books before I've even read them 😂 you just recommend the best books and clearly we both just have very similar (good) taste lol.

@mamasreadingnook Год назад

My Best Friends Exorcism is one of my all time faves as well! 🦊 💕

@mshannarose12 Год назад

Love this list and so excited for a classics list! Also have you read Wicked Beauty? I found the plot so engaging (more than the first two) and the spice was next level!

@claudiaohler7294 Год назад

One of my favorites is by Cecilia ahern called Rosie Dunne. It was fantastic. Maeve Binchy Tara Road. Even though I’m sure there is a million more! Thanks for your reviews. Really love them!

@fiona1198 Год назад

💕 a few of my favorites are : the Hobbit, Nevermoor and Anne of Green Gables 💕

@mis3rygloom117 Год назад

Nice 👍😄 I love your cozy picks. i remember trying a few of your recomendations and just loving it. Especially green glass house. Lol you kept talking about it and I was like screw it I am reading it! &loved it Also I have read The House in the Cerulean Sea like 6 times. I just love that book so much. Side note: I kinda wish we got to know the Yeti kid. :D Can't wait to try the rest. I really wanna read the legends of latte one. I had that on my list since it first came out. Hell before it.

@BrittanyBWrites Год назад

The thriller I've read that I really liked was Pretty Things by Janelle Brown, and that book inspired me to write my first thriller novel that I finished last year. As for favorites...The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schawb and The Death of Jane Lawrence by Catlin Starling. Those blew me out the water and became my favorites 💕

@daisycrombez9014 Год назад

💕 and... my neverending tbr growd some more. Love your chanel

@soniawithani7586 Год назад

Watership Down is my favorite book of all tIme. I loved The House in the Cerulean Sea and Legends and Lattes. 💕

@erinstinson5735 Год назад

There are so many books on this list that I've read, or have on my TBR shelf, because of your recommendations, Lexi. The House in the Cerulean Sea, Neon Gods, Song of Achilles, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, The Secret Society of Irregular Witches, The Unhoneymooners, and The Midnight Library are books that I don't think I ever would have found if it wasn't for you. I also have The One and Legends & Lattes on my TBR shelf waiting to be picked up because of you. I thank you for that, my friend 🥰 In terms of my favourite books of all time, there are a lot, so I won't name them all but some that pop into my head, right away, are "Memoirs of a Geisha", "The Da Vinci Code", "The Client", "Gone With the Wind", "The Forgotten Home Children", "The Storyteller", and "The House in the Cerulean Sea".

@rubeuspotter719 Год назад

I've read the song of Achilles and I looooovvvveeee it

@surbhibhasin1531 Год назад

Started reading An Unkindness of magicians on your recommendation. Loving it so far. Needless to say, I love your channel🥰🥰

@nicolestaudt7207 Год назад

@ValerieHowell-ly6of Год назад

💞I have sooo many favorite books, it would be impossible to pick one. Thank you for all of the wonderful book recommendations!

@cindystauffer3242 Год назад

Such great recommendations ❤

@ReadingNymph Год назад

I love the Wayward Children series so much ❤️ It doesn't get talked about enough 😂😂 weird is the ONLY way to describe Bunny but yes 100% the best kind of weird 😄 A new favourite of mine is the Uncensored version of Dorian Gray 💕💕

@theinstabookworm6428 Год назад

The One was my first book by John Marrs and I had to read more of his work immediately after. He's now an auto-buy for me!

@trubeautyseeker Год назад

💕I am basing this on how many times I go back and read it for the sheer joy…Anne of Green Gables. And By the way, the Netflix Anne with an E is wonderful 💕💕

@otaconbabe Год назад

I read once upon a river for the second time this fall and it had me hoocked yet again.

@chelsiecasey2387 Год назад

Love Bunny!!!! I had a friend try it and DNF it, but for me it just freaking says something about being a young woman and an outsider and figuring life and society out. It’s hard to put your finger on, but that old feeling - it’s right there.

@vivien681 Год назад

Brilliant vlog, honestly you could have kept it at over an hour. We definitely would have watched. A few gems in there I haven’t read and are definitely going on my tbr. My recent reads I’ve loved are Belladonna by Adalyn Grace and The invisible life of Addie LaRue by Victoria Schwab omg my favourite’s ❤❤

@kate98765 Год назад

Some of my favorites: maddaddam trilogy by Margaret Atwood, ninth house, jitterbug perfume, dark materials series, Circe, song of Achilles, all the grishaverse books

@Sarah.reads.sometimes Год назад

Yassss for The Song of Achilles! I read it last summer & I swear it kept me sane through a really rough time. Then broke me because that ending… ooof! I’ll always have a special okie in my heart for that book because it got me back into reading after not doing much of it for a couple years 💕 Also I just finished Finlay Donovan is Killing It last night. Tbh I wasn’t sure I was going to finish it because it was so ridiculous but it sucked me in & now I can’t wait for the 2nd book 😍 Especially with that ending…

@christinerobertini4023 Год назад

💕 thanks for enabling me

@aprilabramyan6613 Год назад

I love that you skipped school to read a book!!! My cousin and I skipped school to watch the Price is Right! LOL I was so excited to read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo...and for me, it was so disappointing. I felt like I was reading it just to finish it. I do believe it was such a tragic love story, in so many ways but I just found it difficult to stay invested in. My top favorite book ever... and one that will DEFINITELY leave you in tears... Cooking for Picasso. OHHHH MYYYY GOOODDNESSS.. It was amazing. I think you will truly love it!

@Lifeonasofa Год назад

💕 some great picks!

@Lillyjoy Год назад

💕 ahh yay The House In The Cerulean Sea is also in my top favorites. Some more are A Curse So Dark and Lonely, Delicates by Brenna Thummler, and The Secret Garden on 81st St by Ivy Noelle

@Paulsmuse Год назад

💕I love “To Kill A Mockingbird” & more recently, “Remarkably Bright Creatures “ ….. both great books in different ways 💕

@wvugirlb11 Год назад

I suggest Where I Can't Follow by Ashley Blooms for that portal vibe. It has a few heavy topics but is a beautiful little book. 💕

@diandra016 Год назад

@earth2cynthia Год назад

I so appreciate highly intelligent people who are not too snooty to read middle grade, we need more of these people on RU-vid.

@mad_at_real_life Год назад

Hey, first off I love your bookish content...you just make me happy every time you come on and do any video. Your energy always puts me into a good mood so thanks so much for that. Also, second I looked up your bookclub on goodreads and was super excited to be part of it, but feel slightly confused about the discord. If anyone else has an answer that would be great as well.

@alexandraroselyn Год назад

Oh hey thanks! I don’t actually have a current book club on goodreads! I had a book club about 3ish years ago with one of my friends on RU-vid and we had a goodreads group but that’s been inactive for a while now I’m sorry about that! The discord is just a perk for my patreon and I do have 2 book clubs as part of the patreon as well. I hope that helps!

@SnarkyWordsworthReads Год назад

I had no idea "cozy fantasy" was a category, but apparently it's one of my favorites as the books you mentioned are all five-star reads for me. Definitely interested in checking out a lot of the other titles you mentioned in your other categories - thank you!

@Journal_Jonesy Год назад

The Giver By Lois Lowry is one of my favorite books of all time. It definitely made an impression on me in 8th grade and I've read it sooo many times since.

@Beyond_Bookish1213 Год назад

I’m currently reading Song of Achilles right now. Loving it so far. I’m about 50% into it.

@pumpkinspice_studiosYT Год назад

💕🦊 Picking a favorite book is so hard. I'm still getting to know my reading taste so I feel like my favorites are yet to come. I love books with layers. The book that I've been calling my favorite for a while is Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

@stephanieL Год назад

@SmurfyKimberly Год назад

@karamerik9576 Год назад

💕💕 my favourite book is also The Song of Achilles

@BRhymesss Год назад

Ahhh I need to read The One by John Marrs!! I’ve read 7 of the books on this list & 3 of them are also in my all time favorite books. And all but 1 have been 5 star reads for me :) So I am getting some really great recs 💃🏻 Some of my absolute favorites I think you might like: Magic, Lies & Deadly Pies by Misha Popp - a woman who bakes magic pies that are used to kill men abusing their partners. also used for general wellness of others. features romance and a competition and found family. When The Moon was Ours by AM Mclemore - YA, magical realism, some romance, absolute stunning writing, & wonderful representation (imo) For romance Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez - one of the most beautiful stories I’ve probably ever read. deals with going into a new relationship after enduring trauma and abuse. A hint of magic(?), found family & good level of steaminess…also a goat lol. I also found this one to be so funny! Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston - wonderful depiction of grief and again, a little magical (realizing now all of these have a little or a lot of magic lol). I love this book SO much!!! These sound like books you might enjoy to me :) only the romances if you’re fine with heavier topics being dealt with in a romance. Some don’t like that!
