glad you finally read Sadie!!! It was one of my favorite reads from 2019, too! That audiobook experience makes it!

[naelys]

It's difficult to talk about The Starless Sea, you did that really well 😍

[evajanssen]

I just ordered A Curse So Dark And Lonely! My youngest daughter has CP. I so want to read this!! Thanks!

[seline]

Great video!!
You know the eyeshadow palette is amazing when I could recognize the tati palette right away by the glitter on your eyes! beautiful look!

[NicoleFoti]

A Curse So Dark and Lonely sounds amazing! I love retellings

I’m reading A Curse So Dark and Lovely at the moment AND IT IS ALREADY ONE OF MY FAVORITES OF 2020!

[BREAKDWNx]

If you make-up game continues to be this strong we're going to need some deets in de description box ... JUST SAYING <3

[Mybookishbehaviour]

I know the fires aren't as strong in Sydney but I sincerely hope you and your loved ones are doing well. 💛💛💛 support from Canada 💕💕

[LibriLabra]

Hello sparkly eyeshadow! It's gorgeous!

The size of Priory of The Orange Tree is intimidating, but I have it, so I guess I should probably read it at some point. lol

[tanitam.]

I've started to reread it, letting your video run in the background as I'm still lost in it right now and I hear you say Zachary Ezra Rawlins as I'm reading his name in the same second. Gave me major Starless Sea mysteries vibes :D I'm so in love with this book, good god. I almost feel as "obsessed" with it as Zach is with Sweet Sorrows. I love him, he is so precious.

[martaferreira]

All books I want to read. Let's see if this is the push I need to keep reading priory of the orange tree

[OliviasCatastrophe]

A curse so dark and lonely was literally the best book 😍😍 loved it so much! Sadie was just okay for me but glad you enjoyed it! As for the rest of them almost all of them are on my tbr so I need to get to them soon, evidently 😍

[TheAMWriter]

You asked what I was doing if I have not read Nevernight...LOL. A lot, I have been doing a lot - raising 2 kids under 3, and struggling to read in the process. Nevernight is actually on my TBR pile but that seems to be growing, and I currently own about 4-5 bookcases full of books I'm trying to go through and see what I have actually read and haven't read. I think the majority of them I haven't read, LOL. So goes the life of a reader. I do want to read like half of your list there. Great video. Happy Reading!!

[HeathersBookReview]

Didn't have any top list books in common this year, but that is the beauty of watching what made everyone's! Have seen Mind Game and Ninth House made quite a few top lists! So many great book recommendations :)

[becklebooks]

Yessss loved Sadie as well!!!! :D And the way you discussed Middlegame, I’m even more intrigued about reading it. 👀

[JemimaRose]

you are so good at giving synopsis' wow

[taylortalkstales]

I'm about to start the Starless Sea and I'm super excited for it! Glad you liked Ninth House. I know there were some mixed opinions on it but I personally loved it and can't wait for the second one. Sadie was excellent, although it didn't make my top books of 2019 video because I read it in 2018 when it first came out.

[ChristineFriis]

Your comment on Nevernight struck me! :o I'm currently reading it but I'm in such a bad reading slump. I can't read anything even though I truly want to read it
