I read House of Leaves for college and I cannot believe he read that as his first English book… like this book made ME feel like I didn’t understand the language and I was majoring in English lmaooo

wow ma'am this is a LOOK and your hair looks so good

I weep for Mateo that poor soul was doomed from the start with House of Leaves. It's a 5 star for me but there are definitely chapters where it feels like you're trying to play 5d chess just to figure out what the heck is happening

Uhm the amount of GORGEOUS you are serving in this video is off the charts

Mistborn will not disappoint you! Living for the outfit 💁🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️

You are correct about Mistborn having 5 star energy

Sally Rooney is a genius. Genuinely. Normal People is one of my favourite books of all time! Even her short stories collection was mind blowing.

bestie ur looking so good

2:22 CAT!

Normal People is very dull and one of my favorite books of all time and I cry when I think of it because I love the characters so much

i bought house of leaves and night film years ago because of you and you’re telling me you haven’t read them yet?… me either

okay but THIS LOOOOK

Yes the fashion 🤌🤌🤌

ok fashion icon!!!!! also night film is my favourite book of all time and a bit different from the vibes u mentioned lol

Omg you’re stunning!! Missed you Lily

Miss lily c reads is backkkkk!! And looking stunning as ever 💗

NO Matteo is HILARIOUS for that 💀💀💀

i bought S years ago because you talked about it and i still haven't read it yet lmao

Reading "beautiful world, where are you" by Sally rooney at the moment. Really enjoyed normal people

Please make a video about your favorite, or your good vibes, epic fantasy books. It’s my favorite genre!

Definite noir and hollywood misdeeds in Night Film. I loved it. I had an actual nightmare while reading it. I wish there was more like it.

The Name of the Wind and Mistborn!!! You made my fantasy heart happy. I hope you adore them. 💙💚

ive been meaning to read 'S' ever since the first time u mentioned it. glad to see we both still havent

Please roast them, I love watching people tear books apart 🤣🤣

Lily, I feel Mateo’s pain when it comes to trying to understand what the fuck is going on in a story, but not for the same reasons as him. He has a language barrier, I have psychological issues. When I was taking schizophrenia medication in 2004, it dulled me to the point where I had no idea what was going on when I watched Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. Turns out that show would be difficult to understand no matter what someone’s state of mind was. Damn, that shit’s eerie.

Terry Pratchett's discworld is legit on another level. The writing is some of the most craftful you'll ever read, its funny as f°°k (as a fellow Aussie the humour is just perfectly absudist and beautifully constructed), and also definitely gives you things to think about without even trying. The characters are just phenomenal. No idea how much research you've done into them, but the earlier ones are much wackier, and than later; they become a little more, dare i say, critiqued in the later ones. Id say at least half are stand alones, but there are series within that even use those stand alones. My series within recommendations would be the Moist Von Lipwig: Going Postal, Making Money and Raising Steam; The Death series, (i forget the order but): Mort, Reaper Man, Hogfather, Thief of time(a personal fav); and Tiffany Aching series is really good. Reading chronologically is fine, but there are some gems that will take a long time to get to by that route *cough* Monstrous Regiment *cough cough*. I am very keen to check our some of these, i know my brother has a copy of 'S', so I'll have to steal it.

Hey Lily, if you're going to read Discworld, I'd not recommend starting with book #1. The series takes a little bit to find its stride. I think a good starter book for you would be Guards! Guards! or Moving Pictures.

Name of the wind is my favorite book of all time and I loved Mistborn sooo much

discworld is my favourite book series of all time !! it has a very british sense of humour and i definitely recommend looking up where to start as there’s 41 books divided into smaller subseries 😅😅 as a general rule, and what 99% of discworld fans will tell you is, don’t start with the first book - instead, have a look at the different discworld subseries and just pick whichever one vibes with you the most !! i know it must seem very convoluted but trust me there’s heaps of recommendations online as to where the best place is to start :)

This build up to you reading S and House of Leaves better be worth it. If they don’t get 5 stars, these years will have been worthless

I've actually got S. for last Christmas because of you mentioning it in some video years back. It's one of the books I associate with you and your channel the most 😂 I haven't read it yet either, because it's equally intimidating as it is intriguing, but I also believe it will be 5* when I finally get to it

I've started reading Mistborn and the quality is there 😇 so glad to see you back ~ we missed you!! Looking stunning as always 💕

Girl yes to Discworld!!!

The night film is really a amazing reading journey

Sorry to be shallow... but this outfit... I’m shookenth 😱

"The poor bastard" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

So interested to see your view on S

Aww so good to see you back Lily!

Everything by Sally Rooney I love. Btw I recommend Daisy Jones & The Six and Beautiful World Where Are You. I would like to hear your thoughts on those.

I personally DNFd normal people HOWEVER I think if I read it a few years ago when I was in a more transformative period of my life, it would have been 5 stars. I think it can be a book that really depends on the person!

Yessss lil Discworld, Kingkiller and Mistborn are all 5/5 !!!! Makes me so happy that they're on your radar 😭 for Brandon Sanderson books Mistborn is a really good intro into his worlds and storytelling, but the Stormlight Archive is his masterpiece 1000000/5 so def recommend that series too! Although unlike Mistborn Stormlight hasn't finished yet, but still worth getting into now

Love this list! S. is so much fun, the Divine Comedy is a classic, and I've heard good things about most of the other books too

I loved this video!! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on those books!!☺️🧡

S: Ship of Theseus was pretty awesome. It's been like years and years since I read it tho

Night Film was close to five stars for me. It's one I need to reread! You'll definitely fly through it!

great book recommendations also you look amazing

oohh, The Name of the Wind has been on my tbr for so long, I hope it's good 🙏

YEs! You're back! I am also going to start reading HoL to really spook myself since spooky szn is coming up. I also think i'll pick up S and see what all the fuss is about.

Omg I missed her! Just remembered your channel and typed it in and i am glad you're still posting!

House of leaves terrifies me 🤡

The Mistborn books are definitely 5 star reads! The writing and story is so thought out and everything comes together in the end!!

Lovely to see you, you look fabulous!

Divina Comdey is amazing! And as big fan of Discworld!! Yes! Yes iti s amazing!! It is so great! Not every book, though, particularly early ones, but most of them are sooo good!

This is a delight to find in my feed! I feel so out of the loop since I deleted instagram

Our queen is back!! 👸🏼❤️‍🔥 . Back to the topic 😀 I have not read any of those books, but I’ve heard good things about Normal People too. Do you plan on reading them anytime soon?

Lily you look amazing!!

off topic but u look literally stunning in this

lily i would die for night film, PLEASE read it

They all look like pretty good books. I hope you find atleast one that will be a five star rating in your opinion. It's really nice to see you again. Ciao.

I'm halfway through House of Leaves and it is taking me forever! It's a great story but the formatting is like a textbook. I can't wait to hear your thoughts!

Mistborn is awesome, Brandon Sanderson's other books are awesome too

Girl you're looking so healthy and gorgeous! Love this new vid!

Missed your videos!!

Okay Thanks for blessing us with this upload and also where is your outfit from 🙈

you look so pretty aaaaaaaaa 😭💕

I unfortunately didn't really like Normal People by Sally Rooney (though I liked her writing style) and Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. I was so excited to read them because everyone was fussing over them and they didn't live up to the mark. ALSO LILY MAY I JUST SAY HOW STUNNING YOU LOOK😍💅

off topic but lily i love your confidence so much! as someone with low self-esteem, i've always admired your confidence. oh and i love seeing you so happy, i hope you always remain that way

You’re back!!

Lily, YOU HAVE TO READ NIGHT FILM! It is easy to read and it was 5 stars for me, it was so chilling

your entire look here is phenomenal... you're insane for this

you're not going to give the name of the wind 5 stars calling it now, i reckon 4/4.5 for the first book and the same/slightly lower for the second

i've been interested in "S" ever since you first talked about it in your channel. but i never bought it and now it costs R$570 (it used to be less than 200 before the pandemic 🤧)

Night Film is my most re-read book ever and one of my all time favourites!

conversation with friends was an instant 5 star for me

The Divine Comedy and Mistborn are totally S tier books! Currently digging my way through House of Leaves but I'm finding it hard because its definitely something you have to sit down to read and concentrate on whatever the fuck you're reading (which my ADHD brain said no to) So I'm waiting for that sweet moment of fixation where I'm going to open and read half the book in one sitting. Good luck to everyone else reading it!

OMG YOU LOOK SO GOOD

The Divine Comedy is amazin!! hope you been well Lily

You look soo pretty!

Sanderson is my favorite author. I’ve read almost all of his books. However, I don’t know if mistborn is the right book to b introduced to his works, only because it is a trilogy. He has some standalones if you want to read something smaller then a trilogy. If you decide to read mistborn, be aware that it’s part of the grater cosmere; a shared universe in which several of his series take place. They are stories on their own with very little overlap among them. You can read mistborn only and be totally fine, but if you keep reading more books or series from the cosmere, you will start noticing they are related.

I trust that house of leaves will be a five star one for youuuu ✨✨✨✨ its my everything

I haven't given Brandon Sanderson a chance since I tried to read Steelheart and had a few problems with the way he wrote the leading woman. If you do a video on Mistborn and enjoy it I'll pick it up!

Haven't read any of these; however I have played the video game Dante's Inferno and, while fun at the time, that was definitely NOT a 5-star experience. lol I want to read The Divine Comedy tho. :D

I can't wait for the sequel of "these violent delights" coming out in November. That's my 5 star prediction

Mistborn and Marvels are definitely 5 stars. I'll start reading House of Leaves today.

Lily : 👋🏻 🦟 The fly : 👁👄👁

ok Night Film, I also got 5 star vibes when I read the synopsis it seemed like it could become a classic thriller mystery it was my type of genre, but when reading it the ending sort of annoyed me, and it wasn't very memorable it didn't give what it was supposed to give imo, it was still good but it felt unsatisfactory i think i gave it a 3.5.

Ok, HATE Conversations with Friends with a passion but Normal People is… ugh, so good! I still can’t forget it and I read it as it came out. Mistborn and Kingkiller Chronicles are top notch. Especially Mistborn, love that series with all my heart. Nightfilm started out really good, just think it was way too long and it meandered towards the end. And I forgot about the other books while I was writing this…🤦🏽‍♀️

I have S i havent read it yet either.

I have read Night Film and really liked it, but I am not sure it'll be what you expect. :D Also, I've had Normal People for months now and haven't picked it up because I think I might not like it...

Night Film was so good !! I thought about that book for like 2 years. It was scary too. The Name of the Wind has been on my tbr for years idk if I’ll actually read it at this point 🤣

I read Normal People and then watched the series. Definitely 5 star for me

yes normal people is a 5-star book for me, one of my favorites of alllll time ❤

I reaaaaally wasn't wowed by Night Film - Marisha Pessl, and I liked Mistborn but didn't love it. The kingkiller Chronicles is one of my serie of all time. Haven't read the rest !

I read House of Leaves back in 2015. I loved it. I love all the crazy fonts and ways it was printed: the story within the story. I even decoded the hidden message in the letters. Definitely should not be used as the English primer 😅 I also loved Ella Minnow Pea: a novel in letters, by Mark Dunn Night Film & S are both on my tbr, so whenever you want to do a buddy read (or book club) ...

I think ur the reason I bought S (I still haven’t read it either )

S is suchhhh a good premise and so high quality but annoyingly not actually very good

Discworld is fantastic, but you have to be willing to go with the randomness.

I've read Name of the Wind & i really love it; definitely my favourite fantasy series, i'm a slut for books that don't tell you the main character's name right away. Currently reading House of Leaves & so far.... 5 star vibes; idk about scariest book in the world, that sounds like a bit much but I guess it depends on your definition of scary? It's good. Also, the author's sister is a singer & on her album there's like two or three songs further referencing specific moments in the book & it's letting me live my Nancy Drew fantasy.

Lily, have you read Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio? I learned about it from my European literature class in high school, together with Inferno and Divine comedy, its quite different from them and for sure it's spicy.👀

Brandon Sanderson is definitely my favorite author, so I'm excited to hear your thoughts about some of his books. The Name of the Wind is amazing and 5-stars for me, but I was disappointed with the Wise Men's Fear. I got really weird (in a bad kind of way) at some point and the flaws are more noticable. I am sceptical if we will ever see the third book. Oh, and I've read Normal People. It was okay, but nothing special for me. I'm not really getting the Sally Rooney hype.
