The way u explain books plots, paints such a clear picture and gives so much understanding while not actually spoiling anything, is amazing. U just explain good loll which I appreciate bc I'm so dyslexic and comprehending can be hard sometimes

Can't wait to see what number Credence is on the list!

[sireeeee]

when you mentioned palestine my love for you instantly multiplied ... and Babel is my fav book for 2023

[rubyanddelilahandnani]

I LOVE how you describe books. I need to get my hands on Circe asap.

[jennw]

Your recap of Credence was TOTALLY worth not reaching your 2023 goal. It was EVERYTHING! Happy New Year!

Ma’am… WHY IS UNCLE JAKE STILL ON YOUR WALL😭😭😭😭😭

[DianaMalloy]

girl thank you i've been obsessed with your channel and just have had your past videos on loop in the background while i do my silly little tasks

[readbybee]

I cried twice during this video HAHA 1. Talking about What My Bones Know because as someone with CPTSD, this representation and commentary is super important. Representation in general is so so important. The quote KILLED me. 2. Babel, that's all I gotta say <3

have you ever made a video about your notion spreadsheet? I feel like my notion reading sheet is so basic, I need inspiration and tips and would eat a video like that up

[stevenlamb]

Completely agree with your comments about reading YA as an adult. I am 37 and absolutely love the reading experience that YA provides.

I always peruse the YA shelves when I’m in B&N! Not sure why so many other people seem to have an issue with it…

Legendborn reignited my love for YA and Bloodmarked had me gasping each chapter. It was a rollercoaster and i need to reread it. I absolutely loved how Tracy used the reluctant chosen trope with Bree.

[scarycherry]

I just finished Project Hail Mary a few days ago because you recommended it in a previous video and OH MY GOD it's so good. I really really hope it becomes a movie as well. It single handedly put me back on a sci-fi kick and now I NEED to go back and reread The Martian!!

[sumitraspov]

"I ranked them because I'm not a coward" i SCREAMED 😭🤌🏼

[gogumarshmallow]

"..first of all shut up...okay let me cook. let me do what i need to survive. " pop off! a good chunk of what i've been reading is ya and sometimes we need to scratch that inner child itch and when its done well ~chefs kiss

[mirandaspinelli]

why is there a divorce tier list in the back? help

[beccac]

Immediately clicks and immediately adds all these books to my TBR : I trust lexis recommendations wholeheartedly ❤

[whatthedeal]

I called Bloodmarked the Empire strikes back of books. Expanded the world, developed its themes, introduced great new characters and left off on a banger of a twist. It was so damn good

[bluecheeseenthusiast]

legendborn and bloodmarked are my favorite books ever written so knowing it’s one of of my favorite book tubers favorite series makes me so unbelievably happy

[haleylikestoread]

reading project hail mary right now due to your recommendation and am FLYING through it it’s so good!!! i also thought the dude-ish language was going to get annoying after reading the first few pages but the novelty wore off it ended up being part of the charm

[michellehelbig]

Love the diversity of books in your list! You always give such good recommendations, and describe the books so well without spoiling them. Can’t wait to add these to my TBR!
