More than anything, I love how much BookTok has gotten people to start reading or get back into reading. 🙂

okay this!!! it’s a joy to see so many people reading now- especially ones that might’ve never picked up a book a few years back🛐❤️‍🔥

YESSSSS!!!! I got back to from a horrible reading slump (4 years) because of booktube and booktok. Thank the Greek Gods that I am reading AGAIN

I read Red, White & Royal Blue purely for the meme of how silly it seemed, and I loved it. I have red all of Casey McQuiston's books since then and One Last Stop is one of my all time favorite books.

@@MelReadsI didn’t realize some people don’t start with addicted to you! you should absolutely read the rest of them. No matter how crazy things get I always feel like the characters feel so much and their dynamics are conveyed so well. The core six feel like real people to me 🥹

I have heard so many people talk about Atlas Six and nothing anyone has said has made me want to read it…until now. HEROES. Sold. I am currently in the middle of a rewatch of the series. So good.

Hi!!! Loved your book recs!!! So, I saw your vid on Colleen Hoovers books and-this’ll probably be bad news to you😅-honestly, I’m intrigued about the hype so I picked up her latest Too Late and giving her a try😮. I 100% agree with you about People We Meet On Vacation. I loved Beach Read so I was primed for this one and MY GOODNESS❤❤❤so good! I also picked up Mexican Gothic and I got up to chapter 4 and I just, I don’t know I feel like Moreno Garcia tries too hard with the mood and motif. I don’t know that’s just my impression so far so I DNFed it. Maybe I’ll go back to it. Anyway wish me luck on my Colleen Hoover journey!
