Love the videos! ❤ I personally enjoy it when booktubers do the time stamps and do a non spoiler review section of all the books and then on the last time stamp, they’ll do a full spoiler review of all of the books!
I lost so much sleep reading Fourth Wing- This was a million star read for me. I really hope you enjoy it! Would love your thoughts on it I love watching spoiler reading vlogs of Fourth Wing :)
OMG SMAE!!!! THIS IS MY FAVE BOOK OF ALL TIME I 5 stars to the second book! I will literally read a book about their morning routines either with the world and the characters!
i’m also starting my reading journey as a young adult and i’ve been obsessed watching book videos now!! i’m so inspired by many to keep on reading and get excited about it! i’ve read 2 books in a month so far while currently on my third and im loving it. your content inspires me to not feel behind as a new reader and to continue on!
Omg yes!! I love having other new readers here too bc there’s sooo many readers out there who have already read hundreds of books which can be super intimidating!!! And this way I get to read books for the first time with you guys sometimes too!! (:
I have literally binged all your videos today and you are already one of my favorite booktubers💓 I also have fourth wing on my tbr this month and I’m sooo exited, I will need a reading vlog from you! Love your content and just need to say that you are stuuunningg!!
Omg thank you so much?! 🥹😭🫶🏼 hearing how much you’ve been enjoying the videos means so much honestly I put so much time and effort into making them as perfect as I can (,: 🤍🤍
Still binging your videos and honestly just commenting on all of them so hopefully you get on more people’s for you page! Your channel is my gateway into rekindling my love for books and honestly I have never been more excited for a creator to become big! Can’t wait for you to hit 10k!!
ADHD TIP Even though I am a voracious reader anyway, my ADHD does fight me occasionally. BUT I have now discovered audible narration on my kindle and omg I have just devoured a 5-book series on kindle unlimited ( The Harbinger Series) in a matter of days. I listen and follow at 3x speed and I am IMMERSED. It's changed my life in the space of a week honestly.
Omg what?! 3x speed.. I feel like this would be a GAME CHANGER for getting things down while getting through books?!! I really want to try this and see if it works for me!!!
I’m excited! I just found your channel because your Kindle unboxing video was recommended to me. I love your energy so much! I love reading but sadly I rarely finish even 2 books a month. You make me want to read more and be the book girlie I always wanted to be ✨
Awww yes let’s be book girlies together!!!! I’m learning to remind myself this too, but remember it’s about enjoying the books not how many you read 🤍🤍
I absolutely adore your videos!! 🫶 I love watching them and feeling like a bestie is talking about books with me. Please, please do a spoiler vlog for fourth wing! I really enjoyed that book and flawless/chestnut springs is one of my favourite series so I’m so excited to hear your thoughts.
i loved harry potter but I think only because i was their age when i first read the books. I literally grew up with harry potter (at least the german translations for timeline references haha) and I think that's what made it the most interesting. For me personally it only actually starts to get good around book 4/5, you can really see the story having more depth and is more thought and planned out than in the first 3. I'm 30 now and tbh idk if I could read them as a first timer now, but I think it's good to push through if you love the movies. the movies are great but the books have soooo much more info and depth and little details, especially the last ones. I think you could love them by the end of the series
Hi Hallie! I’m new to your channel and I love your videos!! And welcome to Booktube and I love your taste in books, this gives me a lot of inspiration getting new books in the future or Christmas. Thank you!! 😊❤️
I do not like any monthly wrap ups or monthly tbrs, but if Hal posts it, Lord knows imma be clicking faster than the speed of sound. Edit: why don’t we all be psychos with Hallie? 🫶🏻😌
i have been watching your videos and omg i love them. i have been looking into creating a reading channel on here myself but have been nervous. i think this is the push i needed. i just subscribed
Omgggg you should definitely do it!!! I know it’s soo intimidating to start out but trust me, starting is one of the hardest parts!!! Just be yourself and have fun!! 🫶🏼
watching your videos make me want to keep reading! especially because i started reading again in october lol. keep up the great work, your videos are very enjoyable!
Magnolia parks felt so long for no reason, fourth wing is an okay book I gave it 5 stars because I enjoy books with a character development tries training scenes. I’m a bit sad that you didn’t enjoyed Harry Potter but I also understand I read it in my 16’ins till this day I reread and I have a cosy feeling so I understand. Good luck on your November tbr
Now that you have read a good girls guide to murder i would love to see you read good girl bad blood which is the second book and also the third book as good as dead. I read them and loved them all and i would like to see what you think. Love your vids btw and cant wait to watch more ❤️
to be honest I would love a reading vlog about fourth wing + iron flame ( because I am really curious about your reactions :)) ). I am 52% through Iron Flame and holly hell... SOOO GOOD! I think you could do a full vlog for the romance ones and the idea of having a non spoiler review with a spoiler part at the end ( like in your last video ) is perfect, because that way we can see exactly what we need. But this is just me. In the end I hope you do content that makes you happy, cuz this is the most important thing here.
i was having so much fun seeing u read Agggtm it litrally made me remember how much i enjoyed it myself which was an amazing throwback !!! cant wait to see you read the rest of the series cuz it keeps getting better , my personal fav is as good as dead cuz i remember my reactions and the excitement while reading it the most. idk if it has smt to do with the gap of time between reading each one maybe thats why i dont remember the others as well but anyway overall its really good !!
Fourth wing is on my TBR this month too. You'll love the Chestnut springs series and twisted series! I recorded my reaction to the end of magnolia parks end of last month that I need to put on BookTok, but i also just finished daisy haites too! So good!
@@HalJones yes! Very fast paced with the writing. Magnolia parks there's not technically a plot it's very much reality tv drama with a lot of dialogue. But i love reading about flawed characters. Gives off Gossip Girl chuck and Blair for sure!
You should totally read the selection, it’s a three book series, but there’s like novelas in between and it’s literally love and love and love, it’s so quick to read and hella good. It’s about like the bachelor in a palace, but there’s a love interest that’s not part of the bachelor. It’s just so so so so so so so so good. Also! I love how you did a spoiler-free review and then you did a spoiler review of the october thriller books, I thought that’s really good and it gives something for everyone:) definitely keep it up! Loving your videos:) oh btw, if you want to get out of a reading slump, also read the ex hex, it’s a super easy just good vibes book (yes, it’s also a romance) and it’s about a witch that accidentally put a curse on his ex (that’s also a witch), but she thought she actually didn’t put a curse and then they met a few years later, and the rest is history. Really really really really really good book:)
Omg thank you for the recs!! I literally just heard of the selection series for the first time from Alexa raye’s video and it sounds super interesting!!! 🫶🏼
Ouuu yesss!!! I kinda want to do that vid at the end of December and then go on a book buying ban in January…. Because I’m a psycho and I can’t stop purchasing books LOL (,: we’ll see!
@@HalJones You‘re not alone with that 😂 But when you buy books at least we can all enjoy your content, so when you spend money on books, always tell yourself you‘re doing it for the greater good 💪🏻
so excited to see where november will take you! i would LOOOVE a vlog of you reading any book of choice since your videos are so entertaining and well done🫶 ive been thinking about picking up fourth wing also, so i will wait for your opinion on it to see what ill do 😊
I just started getting into reading as well and I love your videos! I'm currently reading fourth wing and I love it so much. I'm so excited to see your reaction to reading it.
When you read the shatter me series, read the novelas in between the books, so that you have a better experience. Research about what novela goes in between each book.
You should check if it’s on Libby or hoopla first and if it is then read it on your kindle!! Then if you like it you can get the physical copy!! This is what I need to start doing instead of immediately buying all the physical copies LOL
Don’t even talk to me about ordering the whole series before I’ve even read the first book, I’m physically incapable of not doing it 😂 what if I love the first book and then don’t have the next one ready to go? That would be a tragedy! 😂❤
HAHAHA when I tell you I laughed out loud bc this is my exact thought process…. “I just know I’ll love it and then the special edition covers will be sold out” lmao I can’t
Definitely need a dedicated reading vlog for Fourth Wing! I neeeed to relive it so FULL SPOILER lol I adored that book. P.s might be an unpopular opinion but I highly dislikes Twisted Love 🙃
You are like me frrr when buying whole series. When I buy one manga volume I NEED THE WHOLE SERIES. I don’t even know if I’ll like it but I need to complete the series. It’s a problem…
I am currently on book 3 of Magnolia Parks universe. And I can see what they hype is all about. Kinda glad I’ve left it this long to read as I don’t have to wait too long for book 5😅
Omg no I’m literally so glad I won’t have to wait either!! Lol I want to read them all so quick but at the same time I want to read them slow and savor them so I’m v conflicted LOL
Love your vids! Congratulations on your first reading wrap up 🎉🎉🎉. You should do a fourth wing and iron flame (the second one) video ❤ congrats again 😊
Omg i just discovered your channel and am loving the content can’t wait for u to read magnolia parks I’m just starting it. Surely do a reading vlog on it ❤
If you read it ends with us be aware with this one especially chap. 14 you are in for a wild ride also with reading this you should read its companion novel it starts with us which its about what happens after everything that happens in it ends with us.
Thank you!! Also what is a companion novel?? I saw that for the first time at the store the other day and I don’t really understand, do you have to read it at the same time or something? LOL I feel dumb
@@HalJones A companion novel is just a book that happens within the same world that the first book is set in but just with different characters and a different story and plotline. You can also see characters from the first book in the second which is why most of the time people like the read those types of series in order. Also most likely the main character for a companion novel has a minor role in the first book so people feel more attached for their book. Hope this helped!
@@HalJones Whoops totally used companion novel wrong my bad cause it means books that exist in the same world but with different characters. But with it starts with us you don't have to read it at the same time or at all it's just kind of a big epilogue of the characters and what happens after the big events if that makes sense. I do highly reccomend reading it though because you'll get hooked on loving some of the characters and wanting more because you also get to learn more of a background stories of some of the charaters as well
I loved this wrap up! Def in future videos if you could lower the volume of the music just a tad so I can hear your thoughts better ❤ I’m so excited for future videos of yours!
Thank you for the feedback!! I was thinking it could be a little too loud but sometimes it’s so hard to tell bc it sounds slightly different on a phone vs computer bs with headphones LOL I hope you still enjoyed (: 🤍
I gave Twisted Love a 2 stars. I see why people like it but it definitely isn't my type of book. In my opinion it is all spice and no plot whatsoever. The characters and plot did not draw me in at all. I am really interested to see how you feel about it so and I hope you at least enjoy it!!
I have Flawless, Twisted Love and Fourth Wing on my tbr too. I have read It Ends With Us. I thought it was okay. I thought the same about Verity. I feel if you liked Verity you will probably like It Ends With Us.
Rn I use Final Cut Pro!! But to be honest if you don’t want to pay for the software bc it is pretty expensive I also used iMovie for the longestttt time!!! You can do pretty much everything on there and what you can’t do you can look up on RU-vid for ways to get around limitations if that makes sense!! Also for my thumbnails I’ve been using procreate, it’s honestly not too expensive especially for how good it is!! But if you want a free option I used to use the website PicMonkey and I believe you can do a lot of the same things and they have tons of cute templates and different things included in that as well! I hope this helps 🥰🫶🏼
Thank you!! 🤍 I use Final Cut Pro!! But honestly iMovie is free and you can do most of the same things if you don’t want to spend the money on Final Cut Pro!! The biggest difference is they’re a a lot more text options on Final Cut Pro but if you just look up ok RU-vid they have tutorials on how to do so many things in iMovie (: I hope this helps ☺️
I was a little suspicious that you had ADHD when you reacted to the caffeine hit the way it did. I always take a coffee to bed with me 😊. Whilst I am most definitely not in the demographic that The Boys of Tommen series (Binding 13, Keeping 13 etc) was aimed at, I pretty much had the same ‘psycho’ response you did for the series you bought. Beside the trigger warning material, I love this rugby ‘centric’ romance. Get the Kindle version if you don’t want a heart attack at how chunky these books are. 😂
@@HalJones For some reason the Kindle versions of these books are 200 pages shorter. Keeping 13 is one of the first book to ever make me cry!!!! To make matters I was on the bus going home from work 🤪😂
Totally understand the thing with "AM I GOING TO SLUMP ALREADY WHAT TH-"😄 I'm interested if you want to try audiobooks too? It works amazingly for me, when, like, I would like to read, but it's so... slumpy😄 There are of course books that don't go well in audio (for the different reasons), also there's an issue sometimes with "i just don't like this narrator oh no", but in a whole I read more audiobooks now than e-books or print ones, and then if i like it a lot I buy a print copy, especially if I ✨feel✨ that i have to read it again, savouring more, thinking about it more, etc.
Omg yes I have been seriously considering trying out an audio book for the first time! Especially because a lot of the day I’m just doing mom things LOL so it would be nice to listen to while doing other things!
I’m sorry!!! Lol sometimes it’s so hard to tell bc it sounds so diff when I’m editing without headphones on vs with headphones on and sometimes when I upload too it ends up sounding different (,:
Yeah I had no idea that the first couple books were legit children’s books not even ya!! If I had known that too I feel like it would have been easier to not be so hard on myself (,: lol but now I know! ☺️
Love this and now I have more books to put on my tbr lol I only had 5 books now I have more.....not a bad thing ......thank you for posting I get so excited when you post xoxo
Yesss, i own the magnolia parks, and still debating when i want to read it :) , twisted series is just chef's kiss, im on the last one right now, twisted lie :) i can't wait for those to be reviews or in a vlog :)
