Yea! I love this content!

it looks great! seeing all the beautiful black sistahs doing the big chop has me getting the courage to just do it and get it over with and stop playing scared lol

girl! i wish i could look that cute going to bed 😂 but ahh man at one point i kept seeing that book everywhere but never cared to give it a chance but now i think i have to give it a try even if it’s from the library or something. thanks for putting us on !

Oh wow! Yay!

I appreciate your transparency. So happy to see you back!

Good to hear you are feeling better. You look amazing as well! Akata witch sounds interesting. I have added it to my TBR (Just the Nigerian part, has me sold!😅)

So glad to have you back looking happy and well 🫶🏽 This Could Be Us was my fave book of May 💕 I just purchased The Good Girls Guide to murder and can’t wait to get into it.

I’m glad you’re doing better. I’m currently going through a depressive episode myself and reading is so hard! I read the first Good Girl book in May for my book club. I can’t wait to read the other 2.

So happy to see to see you back!!! 🎉🫶🏾❤️

I agree with you. Booktube is the best content to watch on TH-cam. I love what you said about finding a book, a character that you can relate to and how you can find healing within a book. That is powerful. Your personality is great, and you have a great smile. I look forward to watching more content from you.

Girl…I feel everything you said. It’s sooo rough out here. There’s not enough time in a day. I loved Gabrielle’s first book!

I love your video I’m new to booktube and trying to navigate the same things. I started this a hobby be so nervous sitting in front of the camera and articulate my words

Welcome to booktube ! I hope you stay a while and grow your community 🤍. Adding you to my black booktuber playlist. If you’re looking for more black creators I have 60 on my page. Happy reading 🏝️

Also akwaeke emezi uses They/Them pronouns not she/ her 🤍

Concrete rose was so damn messy but funny and sad I loved it

Soooo happy I found your videos! I relate to you in so many ways and I have binge watched all your videos. I hope you find another great read so you can share with us and add more books to my tbr 😂❤

Girl two books is great!!!!! I try to read 6-9 but I get it!!! ❤😂

Omg I loved The House in the Cerulean Sea !

I have recommended Razorblade Tears to so many people. I mean from family, friends, to strangers. I 💯 % agree, it would make a fantabulous movie.

Such a good reading month! Concrete Rose is on my list. I'm currently reading The Inmate. I haven't read any S.A. Cosby but I've been seeing mixed reviews. Maybe I'll get to their works at some point to judge for myself. 7DIJ is a much stronger Tia Williams book; TPF was meh to me. And you have me nervous to read TDOVO, but it's by Emezi so I have to read it.

Viola Davis memoir was my top book for 2023. You have to hear her narrate it herself on audio Top Tier!!

Lovely review and very important to inform about the triggers. I am currently reading one full of them and would never recommend before telling about it. Thanks! 😀♥

I dnf the perfect find...I couldnt... but razorblade tears... hands down best read of 2023... his writing is top tier... and I do believe that book has been picked up now.. hope they do it justice ❤ The death of vivek oji...omg no words...I read it from the library...had to go get my own signed copy

Hey girl, hey! So glad I came across this video. I loved it! Yooo.. Razorblade sounds a little scary for me🙈 But it absolutely sounds like a book I need to read. 😅WOW!

Hi I'm new on here and I want to say I enjoyed the video. I own 2 of the books you mentioned. (The perfect find, and The death of Vivek Oji) but have yet to read them. I hope to get to them sooner than later. As for razor blade...I have heard many a booktubers talk about it and it sounds like a heart-breaking story. Am I mentally ready for it? I don't know!

Downloading Concrete Rose right now! I didn’t know The Hate U Give had a prequel!

The Death of Vivek Oji! That book nearly took me out. So good and so heartbreaking.

When I say I also read Razorblade Tears in February & I think about it daily ! I did a review on my channel about this book as well &&& I was CRYING REAL BAD AND LITERALLY!!! Omg! I looveeee Buddy Leeeeee

Of the books reviewed, I've only read Razorblade Tears and I also believe it would make a good movie.

WILL SMITH’S Memoir was amazing!!!!!!!! I loved the audiobook so much. I always tell people to listen to this one. It’s an entire production!!! I just added the physical copy to my birthday wishlist. I pray one of my loved ones get it. 😂😂😂😂 I enjoyed Viola Davis’ as well. But like you said, it did center a lot about her childhood and 🥲🥲 The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo was a 5 ⭐️ read for me. Which surprised me because I don’t do historical fiction. I enjoyed Before I let go. I can’t wait until the 2nd book comes out. Verity was very fast!

New subby here! I got into the BookTube side of things at the beginning of the this year as well. With book reviews I do the first half of my video on the rating, why I rated it, how I felt about it and what the book was about. Then I do spoilers on my 2nd half after giving a fair warning. Because I be ready to tallllkkkkkk 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I am currently listening to Allegedly via audiobook. This is my 2nd time reading the book. I enjoyed this book. I think the thing with books and me is I enter a book knowing all of this is fake and can be based on real life events. So I try not to get invested enough to be upset about certain situations because I know the ending can be over the top sometimes 😂. But this is also coming from someone that hasn’t experienced this type of thing as well. This was not my favorite book from her though. I think my favorite is Monday’s Not coming.

I’m also new to BookTube! We like very similar genres 😊 Looking forward to your videos!

I really wanted to love The Midnight Library but I rated it 2.5

I DNF My Sister Is A Serial Killer. Just did not get into it.

I am about to do my review vlog on Before I Let Go.

Kindred was absolutely great!! I plan on reading it again.

I loved The Seven Husbands of Evenlyn Hugo. I gave it 4 stars also.

You read a lot of books I’ve read or are on my TBR to read this year. Happy to hear that you like them.
