elyse you don't understand how happy i get when you post book reviews 💞💞 youre a natural at this!!

I am 4 books deep in the Elyse Myers Book Club. Your descriptions are spot on. I hadn’t given romance type novels much of a try, but I am hooked:) Please keep giving reviews!

Elyse, this book review series is feeding my soul. I read all of these kinds of books too. But I’ve always been a little embarrassed to admit it because I’m the only one I know who reads this stuff. The fact that you show to the whole internet that you love these books heals me in a way I didn’t know I needed. Thank you! 🥰

I love how thoroughly you describe a book without spoiling the actual plot. It's everything I need to hear to know if I want to read it or not! Keep making these, I love them

I absolutely adore listening to you talk about books. It’s so thorough and well thought out and concise without feeling remotely spoilery. I sincerely can’t wait for these videos every month.

I'm just amazed you remember all these details for every single book you read in a month (which is A LOT). I can barely finish a single book in a year, and I would not be able to talk about it a month later.

There’s nothing I love more than listening to people talk about books they’ve read, whether they’ve enjoyed them or not. People have already commented this, but your reviews are just perfect. They’re well organized/thought out, without spoilers. I’ve read quite a few of these books and it doesn’t matter if I’ve agreed or disagreed, what I loved is that you had thoughts and opinions that helped me see it from a different perspective. You have such a gift for this. ❤

I love your book content so much! (And all of your other content too, but BOOKS!) And I'm so happy you got to read Kiss Quotient! Lifechanging.

“Page 12: I find that people like me better if they don’t have to expend emotional energy on me 👀 👀”

I USED TO WASH AND IRON ALL OF MY PAPER MONEY AS A KID AND TEENAGER! 😆 My then boyfriend, now husband of 15 years, actually bought me a fancy ironing board for my 17th birthday, because he saw and appreciated my weird. I feel so SEEN right now! ❤️❤️❤️

I did not have Elyse Myers being my new favorite book creator on my bingo card this year but I am here for it

I’m 72 and an avid reader ever since I discovered (in middle school) the Robert Heinlein Sci-Fi book “Have Spacesuit, Will Travel”. Really, really enjoy your book reviews and your choices. I thought I was the only other person in the world afraid to get out of bed to pee when books have scared me. You make me feel happy and smile a lot. Keep doing what you’re doing, please.

I love that you're posting book reviews!!

Agatha Christie books are in a genre called cozy mysteries. There are so many, I hope you find and enjoy more of them!

Your description of Verity was perfect! Loved/hated this book so much, and the ENDING 😳🤯! I’m loving your book reviews, thanks!

I am so happy for your longer form content! Whether it's random days, lofe updates, running errands, or reviewing books, I love it all. Feels like hanging out with a good friend, every time. I love it so much!

Please keep these book reviews coming! Being totally honest, I get so bored with so many people’s book review videos, but yours keep me so interested the entire time! ❤

You might like Elinor Oliphant is completely fine. It has a mystery but it’s just not scary at all because it’s a woman trying to figure out repressed meme prices from 20 years ago. It’s a good picture of mental illness and friendship, it’s not really my genre but I was hooked

I'm so beyond excited that you started book reviews. I've always loved your content and it just makes me even happier that you're actively in the book community now!

i am SO loving these book reviews! i currently have a tbr list that is WAY too long to be adding books elyse talks about...but here we are. i don't often read new books. i usually just reread my favorites or additions to pre-loved series/authors. but these videos have actually inspired me to dive into the world of romance books once i get through my other tbr books. thanks for keeping me company while i folded my laundry, elyse :)

The murder of roger ackroyd was my first Agatha Christie and I was SHOOK by the ending haha

I’d LOVE if you do this regularly!! It’s my favorite video you’ve maybe ever done

Elyse… I need more book reviews from you, I love your rating systems and how you explain the story without giving everything away! I’ve been wanting to read more lately, and I really appreciate you introducing me to these books… 💛

I love how you talk about books! It’s so refreshingly real and honest

If you’ve never read The Rosie Project, I highly recommend it for you. It’s about a genetics professor who wants to find the perfect wife. It is not stated that he is on the spectrum, but it definitely comes off as if he is, or maybe he is just socially awkward. It’s a lot cuter than I am making it sound. There are three books in the series, but the first is the best.

Wow that excerpt from love theoretically was super powerful. Also it gave me anxiety to work out how to make myself work around jack and it was only a sentence 😭

i am genuinely in love with your book reviews. your rating scale makes so much sense to my brain and really lets me have an idea of what the book is like. you are slowly becoming one of my favourite creators when it comes to books and i can’t wait to hear more of your views 🥰🫶🏻

The way you review so deeply and not spoil anything is such an art. The best book review video I’ve ever watched. Absolute perfection

Thank you for another outstanding book review! Honestly regardless of the content you upload, I find myself having a positive experience. Thank you.

When you started this series, I instantly thought of The Kiss Quotient! I have read it a bunch of times, and it helped me understand my own neurodivergence. So glad you're on that train.

I love that you’re reading books and sharing the with us. The MOST informative and entertaining review ever!

I am absolutely living for your books reviews! I love your rating scales. I'm an avid reader, but I've never annotated a book.....now I kind of want to try it. Thanks for sharing!

I suggest Can't Spell Treason Without Tea. It's a fantasy, drama, comedy. I'm not finished with it yet, but so far, it's a fantastic read. Book description: "All Reyna and Kianthe want is to open a bookshop that serves tea. Worn wooden floors, plants on every table, firelight drifting between the rafters ... all complemented by love and good company. Thing is, Reyna works as one of the Queen's private guards, and Kianthe is the most powerful mage in existence. Leaving their lives isn't so easy. But after an assassin takes Reyna hostage, she decides she's thoroughly done risking her life for a self-centered queen. Meanwhile, Kianthe has been waiting for a chance to flee responsibly -- all the better that her girlfriend is on board. Together, they settle in Tawney, a town nestled in the icy tundra near dragon country, and open the shop of their dreams. What follows is a cozy tale of mishaps, mysteries, and a murderous queen throwing the realm's biggest temper tantrum. In a story brimming with hurt/comfort and quiet fireside conversations, these two women will discover just what they mean to each other ... and the world."

Watching your reviews with my Libby TBR list on another tab, and adding them as I hear your reviews. Please never stop these book reviews! Youre so good at these!

this was so fun and simple in the best way! I love your little info cards for each book and like others have said, you gave great vibes of the books without spoiling the content of it!

Absolutely ADORE your book reviews! Thank you for taking all the time to rate, review and film it all!

You should crochet book covers so you can put them on the books that are too scary or not your favorite! lol

I’m CACKLING watching you get paranoid bc you’re talking about scary books bc that is absolutely SO RELATABLE

Can I just say your reviews are my favorite. The way you map it out and explain. Is by far the best I have seen on YT. ❤

I love these book reviews so much! As a reader myself I think your rating systems are amazing and are very helpful! I can’t wait to see more book reviews in the future!

Absolutely love your book reviews, Elyse! I usually can’t make it through KZfaq book review videos but yours are so engaging. I highly recommend Ali Hazelwood’s second book, Love on the Brain, it’s one of her earlier ones but it’s so much fun and the romance is adorable. Also, if you’re looking for mystery novels in the same vein as Agatha Christie with just a dash of romance, Sherry Thomas’s Lady Sherlock series is so underrated! It’s got great characters, some neurodivergent coding, and is hysterical an amazing genderbent version of Sherlock Holmes.

i think this might be my favorite book review video i’ve watched. it was so much more entertaining then most reviews i’ve watched and the way you explained and described the books just made so much sense to me. i could tell which books you truly loved and why and actually remembered all of your reviews by the end. and the rating scales make so much sense. love love love this video and i can’t wait to read some of your faves!!

Elyse!! I hope you are your family are well!! I am so glad you have started posting these book reviews. I have never been able to find a book reviewer with such similar taste as mine that I can go to for recommendations. Every review you have done on books I have also read are exactly how I have reviewed them! Looking forward to reading with you 😊

these have quite literally become my most anticipated videos each month!

YESSS A LONG VIDEO WITH ELYSE!!! I love your book reviews & finding new books to add to my TBR! Pls keep making content, you are soo good at what you do! 🤍🤍🤍

Your book reviews are awesome Elyse. The way your brilliant brain works in describing, categorising, rating and notating them is so so good ! I’m murder mystery and thriller fan (less spice) so I will go read based on your recommendation 💛

Elyse, you have this amazing way of articulating the thoughts I have on the books here that I have read that is just amazing. It’s like we’re friends and you know what I’m going to say before I say it but in a far better way than I ever could. Because of that I will always watch these book videos, they are so thorough and cute and you, I love them! Thank you for sharing your time and your thoughts in this way. You’ll always be my favorite relatable queen!

Been an Elyse fan for a while, but as a bookseller and a fellow bookworm, my love for you has leveled up yet again! You are an incredible book reviewer. 💜

I love these reviews so much! I have the type of adhd where I cannot read a book to save my life so there's about a 1% chance I would read any of the books you mention, but I still love your videos and find these reviews very interesting. I did start trying audiobooks recently though, so perhaps I will try out one of your favorites as an audiobook if it's available! I hope you're doing well recently and trying your best to be patient with yourself. 🙌

You’re soooo close to a million friends!!! 🎉❤

I absolutely LOVE your book content! It’s so different to many other booktubers I follow and I’m all here for it. Already can’t wait for the next one.

Please keep doing these! I listen to audiobooks all day at work, and need more ideas- so keep ’em coming!

For Agatha Christie: my favorite so far is the Murder of Roger Ackroyd! Super recommend. Will have to check out Five little pigs 👀

Keep doing book reviews! Your rating scale is so helpful (especially as someone who generally avoids spice 🙏🏻) - loving these videos!!

I love love love your book reviews. You have a different taste in books to me but the way your passion shines through makes me want to read the books you read! And that’s very impressive. Keep going!

I love listening to you talking about books! ❤️ It gets me excited to keep reading for fun too 🥰 Some book recommendations I think you might like: 1. Half a Soul by Olivia Atwater (some autism rep in the FL, cozy fantasy) 2. Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren (super cozy romance) 3. Piranesi (mystery, magical realism, somewhat eerie) 4. Anxious People by Frederick Backman (mystery, FUNNY, heartfelt, beautiful writing)

Penny Reid’s “Knitting in the City” series has some delightful neurodivergent characters and representation. I know you get a lot of recommendations, but I had to throw it out there.❤ I love your videos, I feel seen and like I’ve been hanging out with a friend without having to drain my social battery. Thanks for all you do. ❤

I am absolutely loving your KZfaq channel. I don't know how to describe it, but it feels like this channel is "back to the basics" of why I adored your content in the first place! You are such a funny, creative, and lovely person and I really enjoy hearing about your perspective and experiences! ❤❤❤

I just wanted to be weird and say thank you for these amazing reviews. You are so articulate and your descriptions are chefs kiss. A lot of these books I have not read yet but felt like I couldn’t because nobody was chatting about them anymore. Now that you are chatting about them, I feel like I can finally read some books that I’ve wanted to but held back from. You feel like a close bookish friend and since I don’t actually have a bookish friend that means a lot. The Kiss Quotient is such a good book!!

this is my first time watching this genre of youtube video and i loved every second of it - thank you for your honest reviews!

Your rating scale is just everything 😍

This is so fun! I love listening to you talk about books. Thanks for sharing your thoughts

I can tell you’re having fun and it makes your book reviews so fun to watch!!

I adore Agatha Christie!! Two of my favorites (and probably 2 of her most popular/considered her best) are The Murder of Roger Ackroyd and Murder on the Orient Express. Excited to hear your thoughts as you delve further into the Queen of Crime Fiction 😊 Also love your spice scale- I’m a fan of romance/rom-coms but I hate when it’s largely sex scenes with little to no character development/plot. If I wanted erotica I’d pick up erotica 🤦‍♀️.

omg i just finished watching your other book video and now reading behind her eyes! yay for another book video & recos

Thank you so much for doing these reviews! I am also a whimp. I’ve been interested in the silent patient but was worried about reading it, so it’s great to know how scary it is. Your spicy and scary scale are so precise I don’t have to wonder when choosing a book. Thank you and please keep doing these!

Omg I love this!! I love watching any video you put out. Your personality is so great and you’re genuinely funny. I’ve watched BookTube for years and I wasn’t aware that you post about books too until this video. I love love love your rating system and everything about this video. I now will go find your other videos taking about books. Thank you for blessing us with this! ❤

I read yours truly after you recommended it and gave it 6 stars Thankyou so much for that!!! My top reads of this year are the good girls guide to murder series and the summer I turned pretty series. Also dived into the thrillers and recommend the house across the lake from Riley sager!

I love this! I didn‘t know I needed such a comprehensive system of reviewing a book, but I‘m loving it! This way I can really tell if it is for me ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I would just like to say that your structure and system for ranking these books is IMMENSELY helpful and I LOVE how you describe without spoiling. Thank you thank you thank you!

I love your book reviews!!! ❤

After your Verity recommendation you may be nervous to read a book recommendation 😂 But The Rosie Project is a must read.

I absolutely love your book reviews. I love your thoughts and your rating scales, I will be adopting them for my book reviews too. Several books I have been on the fence about I will now be reading!

I am getting re-dedicated to reading this year and so appreciate watching your reviews! They are helping me to branch out into different genres! I just finished The Hanging City and HIGHLY recommend for you to read it!!

Okay, but have you heard of Brando Sando?? If you have an interest in trying out an epic fantasy series, I would highly recommend his Mistborn Trilogy! He created such a unique magic system and he really writes for the masses imo 🙃 He is really good at exploring the mental health of his characters as well. PS. His name is actually Brandon Sanderson, but obviously Brando Sando is a fantastic nickname and I can’t not use it when I talk about him 😅

I have never seen someone iron a book did it work? 😅

Never stop doing book reviews! I love them so much!

Your review and rating scales are awesome. The way you describe some of the book I’ve already read like Verity is so spot on. And your prior recommendation of Better than the movies may be my favorite book this year. Consider me a member of the Elyse Book Club. On that note if you haven’t yet read The Rom-commers I think you should, it feels right in line with current list.

I need an update on the book ironing incident, did it work?! 😂

HOW DO YOU READ SO FAST

Both of these book review videos were everything I’ve ever wanted in booktube! Thank you!

I thought your old content couldn’t get any better, but then you started making book content and I have never been happier ❤️😭

I love your book content so much! Your scales are so thorough and I’ve absolutely put some of these on my TBR

I love your reviews. I have read few of these and it was like geeking out with you. Love it. Also, that disassociating break time was so relatable!! That is my work flow.

i love your book reviews bc i love the way you talk about books but it's always so surprising to me the books you talk about. I didn't expect it to be so many tiktok books or coho. but i do feel inspired to read more whenever i watch these which is nice

I could not love this more!! I chuckled so many times 😂 and your description of Verity…one hundred percent my thoughts exactly lol Please keep doing these!!

I don't even read books that often and I still love listening to your book reviews! So honest! Hilarious and entertaining!

Thus was so much fun to watch and so helpful! You helped me add a few more books to my TBR! I'm excited! ❤

Elyse is so amazing, and she inspires me every time I watch her videos. She's so real and a joy to watch. Love you! ❤❤❤

Super intelligent well thought through content which is so much appreciated . You totally deserve your viewing figures ❤

I love your book content! You got me back into by book obsession! Based on your review of King of Wrath I know you and I jive on books and added a bunch you’ve read to my list!

Oh my god, thank you soooo much for this video! Just finished The Kiss Quotient after your review, and im obsessed! ❤

How I love a long Elyse video ❤ Thank you for the reviews I took notes for my next reading

Your video was perfectly timed for me. I wanted to thank you. I hadn't ventured into booktok/book tube. But I really liked yours and your recommendations. I bought Verity, Behind Her Eyes, and Inheritance Games! I have a few more on the way. I tried to watch some other book reviewers (3 or 4) and I couldn't finish. Thank you! And if you can, please keep these coming!

This book review series is my absolute favorite of yours! Keep them coming! 📖😍

If I ever get myself to get more into reading, I think these videos would be a great tool for me as I love hearing your thoughts, and my preferences that I do have for various media tend to align with yours somewhat. Please keep doing these, Elyse!

Your book reviews *chef’s kiss* I love that are trying other generes! I have been too , but I’m the opposite of you (mystery, thriller girlie) and am trying to explore and branch out into the romance novels- so I appreciate your thorough reviews!

Totally felt the same about The Kiss Quotient!! I felt so seen and represented. And I loved Love, Theoretically too! And Funny Story! Your book reviews are LIFE-GIVING! I can hardly remember what happened after I finish a book, especially if I read multiple books since then!

Thank you so much for sharing! I love reading the books you recommend, you are so good at reviewing them!

Perfect timing! I just finished a book last night and I have been on the hunt for a new book to read.
