this video ends when i find a five star book ⭐️

love you guys 💘 thank you for being here and for caring about my silly little adventures ~ just you wait until you see me at full power

What if the five star books were the friends we made along the way

“Life is tough and I am not, but the least I could do is take care of myself.” Is going to be my new motto in depressive episodes lol

[rachelspears]

"The smile didn't reach his eyes" is my "she let go of the breath she didn't know she was holding"

Paedyn.... Payton and Hayden thrown together in a particle accelerator

[reverie]

My favorite recurring theme in the Lexi book vlog cinematic universe is the motivational speech full of triumphant resolve following the relatable depressive paralysis. It always hits when I need it most (every day)

a polly pocket trapped in a blender while you're forced to watch as it crumbles is the perfect way to capture my essence in one sentence. bravo

I just wanna say I really appreciate the “Uncle Jake” picture being a permanent feature on the gallery wall. 10/10

[stopdug]

the gasp i gusped when it said 1.5 months

[mallorygarcia]

"paedyn" ⚰im taxing every fantasy author with an outrageous main character name going forward

Laying on the floor with "divorce tier list" on the board behind you is iconic. Also, I have absolutely been there haha

[kate.b]

I need "life is tough and I am not, but the least I can do is take care of myself" merch pls. I am sending all the good vibes your way though Lexi really sorry you're going through it 💚

[ketterdamned]

You’re such a comfort watch for me. You make reading seem more human, more manageable. And I really appreciate that you sprinkle in your critiques in a way that isn’t at all malicious, just more curious on why certain decisions were made. The way you talk about your loss of motivation is something I, and it seems like many others, relate to deeply

[Abby-jchp]

I haven’t seen anyone else point out the weird alliteration lists in powerless THANK YOU I was losing my mind over this 😭

[madisonjoy]

I'm so happy someone else feels this way about Powerless - I took a 3-sentence paragraph from one of the chapters & ran it through an adjective-finder because it was SO painful to read. There were 15 adjectives in that section alone. I had to DNF.

HUZZAH LEXI CONTENT TO GET ME THROUGH FINALS

[alem]

Im so traumatized by ads that I thought that in 5:00 you were abt to do a better help add LMAO

[GaryMcSnail]

"It's hard for me to wake up every day and choose to see humanity." That alone, I think, just answered this angry state I've been in for the past month, at least. I've been very black and white about people lately and largely bitter about people in general based off what you said about pouring out kindness into others who have shown to be undeserving/not appreciative. And with my seasonal depression coming with summer, it's been getting harder. I will be replaying this part of the video several times because you flawlessly managed to put such puzzling feelings into words. And with that, I can hopefully start to feel less like this ❤❤❤❤❤

[lolathecoconut]

every time a reading montage hard cuts to lexi crying hysterical, snotty tears, i sigh and add another book to my to-read list

[piper_bruns]

please do more recaps of books like you did with credence and twisted love. I LIVE for those, they’re amazing.

[suppleleo]

“I’m not Mr. Rogers. This is not my neighborhood.” Is going into my personal lexicon. Thank you 😂
