Yay, congratulations on your 5-year workversary! You're my favorite part of Epic Reads! Huge book shimmy!

[charlierask]

Margot, will you do a video talking about your job at epic reads and working in a publishers in general? I am really intrigued, especially about your first day!

Congratulations on the 5 year anniversary of working at Epic Reads, Margot! This channel wouldn't be as fabulous without your enthusiasm for all things YA Books!! :)

[amariebythesea]

Congrats on five years! I can't believe it's been that long - I remember when Epic Reads started as a Tea Time live stream and now look at how far you've come! So awesome!

I love for book hauls. I can't wait for them at the beginning of each month

[Pohnpeibabii]

Officially getting Hunted and Simon VS the Homo Sapiens Agenda. Thanks Margot!

Also, people calling out those who "don't read as much" are ridiculous. Read 1 or 10 books a month. Who cares. At least you're reading 💙

I'm reading Heir of Fire, though I just bought A Court of Wings and Ruin and I'm aching to read it...but I can't book cheat.
I also bought Queen of Shadows, and The Assassin's Blade, the ACOTAR coloring book and Empire of Storms. I'm crushing so hard on Sarah J Maas right now.

Hey, Margot and Book Nerds!!! I just finished the semester and I will have more time to read! Right now, I am finally reading Divergent!!! I really like it so far. Its funny, I've always loved The Hunger Games so today I have been thinking about which Divergent Faction the characters would be in. Katniss, I think, would be in Abnegation. She is very selfless at times, especially with Prim and Rue. Peeta would be in Amity because he is a very peaceful person except in self-defense. Gale, because he is very angry at The Capital and wants to give them a taste of their own medicine, I think he would be Dauntless.

Saga is the best comic book/graphic novel I've ever read, i fell in love right from the first page

[XepherusStudios]

Epic Reads is the reason why I buy Harper books. Great selection. Fun videos (I am obsessed with Book Nerd Problems videos), and even Target shelf talkers that lure me to new adventures. Happy reading! Thanks for the fun.

Saga was so heartbreaking for me, but I love this series. Thank you for your videos, they always make me laugh and feel better!

[RachelHS]

I'm graduating from college this Saturday and I'm currently reading Always and Forever Lara Jean, so I'm a VERY happy person at the moment!!! *book shimmy*

[sandyreadsalot]

That's so awesome that you got to be an extra in the Simon Vs. movie! I read the book for the first time a couple months ago and I really enjoyed it! I can't wait to see the movie!

[xoannaox]

Happy 5th anniversary!

I'm so excited to read Hunted because I've heard so many people say how good it is, but I'm worried I won't like it.

Also, your hair looks cute.

Hey Margot, small world! I will have my 5 year work-iversary at the end of the month: 5 years as a Youth Librarian (living my dream!) I discovered Epic Reads about a month after I started working because I chose The Selection to be the first book I reviewed for the book review committee I was on. I quickly started watching TeaTime with you, Aubrey, and Snarkles (miss that little guy lol) and the rest was history. :-)

[bookishandjames]

Congrats on 5 years, Margot!!! Saga - YAS!!! I just got Vol. 7 a couple days ago and can't wait to read it. Simon Vs. - YASSS!!! One of my absolute favs and I can't wait for the movie (SO jealous that you got to be an extra). And you are not alone on your feelings about American Gods. I'm currently listening to the full cast audiobook (almost finished) and I think that's the only thing that kept me going in the slower portions of the book. I am enjoying despite those moments.

[nataliesnider]

I always look forward to these book haul videos every month!

[kathleenmulvihill]

It's so refreshing to watch you get so excited about books and reading!! 😜

[meganamaral]

Literally just finished Avenged yesterday during my lunch break! OMG! I am so obsessed with this series! I need the third book now!
