when browsing for books to read, i always look for book reviews. that is why i bring you my contradictions book tag of 2022 that quickly turned into a very chatty / ranty video about some of the new book releases coming in 2022 (and also, some popular book releases), best books of 2021, books i still need to finish, some season recommendations, etc. booktube has talked about some of these 2021 book releases… but have you heard of them? i hope you guys enjoy this one and come out with more books to add to your TBR and some good book recommendations for 2022!

🤯 i believe retellings are just a hit or miss... it really depends on how well the author develops the story and that new, original aspect they bring to it.

I was laughing all the way through this one! Especially about Normal people 😂 We all contradict ourselves so no worries!

[luanajasmin]

your videos bring me so much peace in stressful times...I just wanted to thank you for making my days a lot better and I hope you're doing well too!!<3

[lindawallingsford]

Omg I love this tag! And ofc you made it even better mel! You’re literally stunning🔥

[SydBookWorrom]

My besties exorcism was ALSO super disappointing for me🥴!!
THANKS FOR TAGGING ME LOVEBUG💓

[hfollman]

You are such a bright personality! It's always a joy when you upload! :))

[BeyondBookish]

I felt the same way about With the Fire On High. I’m glad I’m not alone

[beks]

I feel like you are the first person I've heard say that they didn't like Normal People! I read it last year and it was hands down my least favorite but I feel like I hear everyone raving about it all the time! Thanks for making me not feel crazy!

[yomnaelghadban]

found your channel last week and i've been binging your videos and omd your energy!! love it so much and this was hilariousss

[naniisparkles]

I love retelligs but I hated Into the Neverwoods by Aiden thomas. I was super hyped when I got it but every 15 pages I would literally fall aspleep!!

[manyaarora]

I enjoyed this so much and i am glad you are back✨ . Some of your answers were so expected haha i loved that😂❤️🤯

[hypersanitybooks]

Subscribed and looking forward to doing this Tag.

[luciafaar]

Should I start with unpopular opinions: I love fantasy, but I didn't like The Lord of the Rings 😞
But that's on me I was expecting a fast book and it wasn't hahaha I have to read book two tho

[parnikajain]

Not genre but trope. Depending on the summary I don’t like the stepsibling trope UNLESS they meet for the very first time. Like it’s weird if they catch feelings after they have grown up together or even are family for a couple/few years and then catch feelings. But considering I’ve only read one trilogy with a straight couple, now I want to read one between two stepsisters or two stepbrothers😂😅

[jessicaceeney]

This was so much fun! Thanks for another great video Mel 💛🤯

[OnlyIfForAPage]

Thanks for doing my tag! I DNFed Normal People pretty early on 😂

[JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I read reckless girls last month and it’s so much fun!!

1) I love fanatsy but I didn't like the atlas six. The writing was giving wattpad. All of the characters were very planned out which made them plain but somehow also annoying

2) I rarely read Scify but before the coffee gets cold is such a good book. I enjoyed it so much

3) I love fake dating (yes, I am serious) but the love hypothesis was an experience that I did not enjoy. Questionable and cringy

4) grumpy and sunshine - it's so beyond annoying but Hani and Ishues guide to fake dating was chef's kiss.

5) I love Rick Riordan's book. Almost all of them are my personality. Except for the trials of Apollo. (I definitely agree with your take on Elizabeth Acevedo)

6) Poet X. I didn't like with the fire on high but poet x made me feel so seen as a latina and boy can Elizabeth Acevedo write!

7) Cinder by Marissa Meyer (not the American cover god forbid) the german cover is stunning. But I didn't like it, sadly

8) the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo. I wouldn't have this if book social media hadn't been screaming at me for months. I'm so glad I did but the cover is a no.

I see you have the book “Caraval” on your bookcase. It’s come along as a recommended read for me because of previous purchases. Have you read it and if so what did you think? Honest Mel review required. Thanks xx

You should add the originator of the tag in your description to drive some traffic her way.
