Something Wicked This Way Comes is in my top 10 books. It conveys the feel of October better than any book I have read.

[EmeraldSeaCup]

I would really love a vlog with Under The Whispering Door, House of Leaves, and Atlas Six!! They have no relation, but I think you’d might want to balance out House of Leaves with another book 😅 I can’t wait to see your vlogs, they fill me with such cozyness and warmth no matter the time of year and every week I look forward to them ♥️

[ellenrummel]

I would love to see a vlog about House of Leaves! It's extra cool paired with the album Haunted by the author's sister Poe

[hardbackadventures]

One from each category! 1. The Atlas Six (I just finished ) 🖤 2. The Witch Haven (It’s a magic school, need I say more?) 🎃 3. The Inheritance Games (I’ve been wanting to read this and watch knives out for a while!) 🪓 4. Something Wicked this way comes (a carnival is perfect for spooky fall) 🍁5.Under the Whispering door (My most anticipated for fall cozy fall) 👻 6. House of Leaves (It seems so immersive, on my TBR) 🍁💀🖤🥧☕️🥰🐈‍⬛👻🎃

I’d love to see a vlog for Dracula and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde as I’m also planning to read them myself

[KatieColson]

You’re editing is so superior. It’s so aesthetic and pleasing to watch and listen to. The little added noises and transitions are stunning. Always blown away by your videos. Especially during the fall

[priyasinha]

The girl who drank the moon is The Best middle grade witch story and congrats on 50k subs!!

[arevikm]

To be honest I can't read rn, for months I struggle to read, tho I need an escape from my life so much. Just watching your videos make me a lot better, joyful and somehow you're the only reason I feel it's autumn( btw my fav season). Love you so much, thanks for amazing videos.

[R-vy]

Best part of waking up, seeing a notification from Alexy!!!! <333 Thank you! Also, i would love a vlog for The Inheritance Games, Amari and the Night Brothers, and All's well :33 But whatever it is, I'm still gonna tune in! :DD

[katsbookstack]

I’d love to see a blog with any of these: Under the Whispering Door, The Ravens, Dracula, and The Atlas Six!

[suzannebest]

I would LOVE a focus on either Dark Academia or Horror... I have Atlas Six in my library and House of Leaves, a vlog on either one would be so much fun!

[islandgirl]

Oooh I'm here for the dark academia and witchy vibes for a vlog! Not A Happy Family sounded so great, but ended up being a let down. Put that reading time toward something more exciting ❤

[Hawk]

I think one of the best retakes on fairy tales is Kate Danley's "The Woodcutter" read it several times now and it doesn't get old.

[lisabrooks]

please do a lot of fall vlogs!!! your fall videos are always so cosy and atmospheric!!

[biancalopes]

Hi Lexy! I'm Brazilian and I'm very grateful to have discovered your channel this year. I love your videos!!! Please make a reading vlog about the Witchy Books. I think it's going to be super fun!!!

[amandathomas]

I would love a vlog with the Atlas Six, Under the Whispering Door, and House of Leaves. The Shining is one of my favorite books, its so good!

[chermeups]

I get interest over Under the whispering door 😆 the cover is so pretty.

[angiegarcia]

I hope you make the vlog on the scary books, especially House of Leaves. I’ve been wanting to read it for years.

[LornaWallace]

I ADORE Something Wicked. It's spooky, lyrical, so autumnal, and I love the carnival setting. Also I vote for the vlog to be horror. I'd love to see your reactions even if you end up DNFing! Plus, as you said, you could watch The Shining movie after.

[doodeedoda]

I'd love to see a reading vlog for The Atlas Six as I'm planning to read it soon myself.

Other than that I'm curious about your thoughts on Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Dracula, House of Leaves and Under the Whispering Door!
