The Great Undoing - ugh get ready to fall even more in love with Christian. This new book cemented him as as one of my all time book bf’s
If u want to read DANCE OF THIEVES I highly highly recommend reading the Kiss of Deception Trilogy beforehand, both stories are crazy amazing and tug at ur heart, but I feel like you’ll be shook by the trilogy it’s truly one of those you wish u could read for the first time again!!
I fully agree. The Remnant Chronicles is incredible! It’ll also give you important world building for Dance of Thieves.
Yes!! Definitely read the trilogy! It's one of my favorites!!! I have reread the Kiss of Deception so many times!!! Highly recommend! 💜💜💜
Yes I was going to say this too! Read the Remnant Chronicles first!!! It introduces you into the world before Dance of Thieves. I read Kiss of Deception in one sitting because I could not put it down, like cooked dinner while trying to finish it. So good!
oh yes!! I have heard this! I'll try to read that trilogy first!! thank you 🥰
I didn't read the trilogy before reading Dance Of Thieves and still thoroughly enjoyed it! I gave it 4 stars and I didn't quite get the world but I loved the characters so much and I will continue to Vow Of Thieves❤
Reading is not just enough". Take the action! Put your newfound knowledge to use. I read for a long time but Action made my life change in no time ( generally and mostly financially) That's my two cents on this
I agree with 100%
Action makes it work, no matter how little start and see the results come by.
I struggle to follow through, especially financially. I earn quite enough but hardly have a saving. Rent, bills, debt, expenses take it all away. It almost feels like I leave paycheck to paycheck
Live below your means, Adjust your lifestyle, be frugal in spending don't buy unnecessary stuff, Budget your spending and your debts, Save, Invest it's a better way to grow wealth, get a financial expert to help you.
Thanks
I hear hiring a financial coach is quite expensive but I will have a look at it.
I'm so tempted to start reading the Magnolia Parks universe, but I'm scared as well lol.
Also, I highly recommend the Dance of Thieves duet, it's so good, I'd say that at the beginning of the first book I was kinda confused with the world construction, but as soon as understood that I loved each second of it
I’m not sure if you’ve already read it. But the housemaid is a great one to add to your TBR 😍
so true, I've heard so many good things! Definitely need to read it 🥰
CLOCKWORK ANGEL IS SO GOOD!!! You’ll love it!!!!
I may have already read & loved it 👀
I recommend reading Babel along with the audio book. I found that the audio helped with the pronunciations of some of words in it.
Oh I’m so excited for you to read Forever, interrupted. It was definitely one of my favs!!!!
please keep the invisible life of Addie larue on your TBR. I kept avoiding it but finally read it this month and it was a 5 star read for me! It was a bit slow at parts, but it was so beautifully written and had such a relatable and important message about finding life’s purpose. I absolutely adored it.
I enjoyed Vicious a lot more than Vengeful, and I’ve only read the first of the shades of magic, and Addie Larue is definitely my top VE Schwab so far
I had no idea there would be another book in the Magnolia Parks Universe series!! I have only read the first book so far but this makes me so excited!!
I'm pretty sure Jessa Hastings said there would be 3 Magnolia Parks books & 4 Daisy Haites books!
I’ve watched One Day and am 1/4 into the book and would really recommend watching the movie after you read it. I find it hard to visualise/understand the time progression in the book and the characters aging but the movie does it so well
I loved The people we keep!
I'm so excited for you to read the crescent city books!!
It is always fun to see the difference cover art you have in Australia. I have wanted to read something from Elin Hilderbrand as well.
I’m so excited to see what you think of Dance of Thieves, i LOVE the enemies to lovers in this sooo much hihi 🥰🥰
eeeek I can't wait 🤭
I LOVE Kazi and Jase's banter so so much❤❤
Im excited to hear your thoughts on the infernal devices trilogy! Clockwork princess was my top #1 book of 2022
one day is amazing!! hope you enjoy it as much as i did
currently halfway through the first magnolia parks book and i'm obsessed!! i'm not really a series girly but i can't wait to read the whole series
thank you for this video!! i can always trust your recommendations❤
I am so excited to read daisy Haties!! But also SO keen for the next magnolia parks 😍
8:07 I can’t wait to read the mortal instruments series but I’m waiting to read the infernal devices trilogy.
I’m so excited for you to read Zodiac Academy! I started it last year and it quickly became my fav series ❤
omg i recently discovered the heartache duet by jay mclean and easily became some of my favorite books, it’s definitely two broken people coming together with that soulmate type of love!! it’s on ku as well, including a version with extra bonus content!!
oh my gosh amazing!! I need to add it to my future tbr!
I’m loving your videos. I’ve started back up reading again since starting to watch your content! Thank you 😊
I read 28 summers as my first read this year and I’m so conflicted on my thoughts I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it!!
The Wife and the Widow by Christian White :D He is an Australian writer and its a mystery story lowkey thriller vibes - SO GOOD
Those all look like such good options.
that colour purple suits you so much rachel!! loving all the book content 🥰🥰
Thank you so much!
The light we lost is literally one of my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE books. Hope you're able to read it!
I've heard so many people say that! I hope I love it too 🥹
I loved Belladonna so, so much. If you like audio books, I definitely recommend that one via audio. I think it's like, a very slow, explorative type of story but it's also atmospheric and dark and beautiful and just so good!
I also loved the Caraval series, as well as OUABH & Ballad and really enjoyed the Dance of Thieves duology. I would recommend looking into maybe Half a Soul by Olivia Atwater or Radiance by Grace Draven!
Yay!! Okay I’ll definitely check out Belladonna on audio!
Forever, interrupted was the first TJR book I read and trust me I think it is right up your alley! It made me fall in love with her and her book, please please read it! I’ve been waiting to hear what you think from the second I finished it, ☺️☺️
I loved it too!! Couldn’t put it down ❤
eeep okay!! I will make sure I read it soon!!
@@RachelCatherine no pressure but I hope you love it ☺️
yess I love this tbr list. you have some good authors and books in there
I went to read dance of thieves but I learnt that the Remnant chronicles trilogy comes before the dance of thieves. It aids in backstory and world building, plus has great reviews
Loved this video- more great books I need to check out eventually.
My recommendation is check out Patrick Rothfuss’ KingKiller Chronicles. I could not put it down! Read it on kindle and so of course had to get the next one!
eeeep I hope I love it too 😍
I’m so excited to hear your thoughts on Zodiac Academy!!! I love them so much haha 🔥
Loved it !
I have been waiting for you to read forever interrupted for so long! It’s going to make you cry but it’s worth it ❤ just rip the bandaid
I knoooowww I need to just get it done!! 😭
Definitely read Vengeful which is the second book in the duo logy if you enjoyed Viscous! The covers are almost identical as well😍 x
will do! 🥰
I'm so excited you want to read the dance of thieves book i gave both dance of thieves and vow of thieves 5 stars it is literally such a good fantasy and literally so enjoyable . The enemies to lovers in this book is amazing
eeeek I'm so excited! I love fantasy enemies to lovers!
I have a few YA romance books on my TBR but this year my aim is to read more Thrillers (First up will be Rock Paper Scissors)
I really want to read Rock Paper Scissors this year too!!
28 summers is one of my favorites ❤️
I just screamed of excitement when opening your video and honestly don't know why haha
stop that's so sweet 🥹❤️
Forever Interrupted is amazing! I didn't think I would love it as much as I did! I really think you will like it, it has found family 🥰 definitely a 5 star read for me, I hope it is for you too!
Ooooh okay this makes me excited!!
Excellent video Rachel!😸
Thanks Ryan!!
@@RachelCatherine of course, hope 2023 has started well for you and Liam!
Caraval and Belladonna are soooo good!!! Definitely a must read. The audiobooks are great too!!! 🎪🎠✨🥀🧸📖🎧📚☕💜💜💜
oh I do love a good audiobook so I'll have to check them out!! Thanks for letting me know 🥰
@@RachelCatherine
Ofcourse!! Np! I hope you have a fun reading! Cant wait to hear your thoughts about it 🤗📖🎧💕
The darker shades of magic IS AMAZINGGGGG, you should totally read it !!!
I absolutely will!!!
omggg you just NEED to read twin crowns!!!! i read it last year and since then it has become my FAVOURITE BOOK!!! pls read it! you'll love it!!
okay this makes me so excited!! 🤭
Finnikin of the Rock (The Lumatere Chronicles). Apparently the second book is so much better but I really enjoyed this book. Enemies to lovers, adventure, stolen kingdom etc 🤍
Really want to read Crescent City and the stolen heir as well 😊 I guess my most anticipated release this year is Chain of Throns by Cassandra Clare ❤️😊
oooh yes! I'd love to read Chain Of Thorns also!
YAYYA ive been so excited for this video! xx
Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon is a cute romance that I love!❤️ You should definitely read it😄
I'll have to add it to my list :) I think I watched the movie a few years ago though!
@@RachelCatherine That is awesome! I really hope that you'll get to read it soon. I also loved the movie too
In the fantasy genre there is A taste of gold and iron by Alexandra Rowland that I am super excited to read! I would love if you could read it and tell us what you thought of it!
I love your videos Rachel! I can't believe its 2023 already. I know its late but Happy New Year! Also your literally one of my favourite TH-camrs and it just makes it better that your also from Australia cause sometimes its nice that I'm able to relate to you.
Thank you so much 🥹 you're so sweet 💘
All souls trilogy! Add it to your list, would love to hear your thoughts
For zodiac accademy I would say read the second and then decide if you like it cause I didn’t like the first book but ended up getting hooked after the second
Okay I'll try to push through if I don't like it at first!
You need to start House of Blood and Ash and House of Sky and Breath ASAP!!! They are both so amazing and I hope you really like them!
I'm book 7 into Zodiac Academy and I love it. I will say the first two books aren't as good but it really does pick up book 3.
ooh okay!! I'll try and push through!
@@RachelCatherine And just a warning, there's a lot of bullying in the first book.
omg I can't believe you haven't read You Deserve Each Other yet - it is one of my fave books ever
Yesss I absolutely love it! It’s my comfort read
I know! I'm disappointed in myself for not reading it yet 🤣
I also have twin crowns on my 2023 tbr :) Tbh, I bought it bc the girls on the cover look like Elain and Feyre-
you're so right 😯
please read once upon a broken heart! it is the most underrated book ever and i feel like you would LOVE it!!!!
I really want to! But I want to read the Caraval series first!!
You need to read the naturals series and the debutants duology by JLB. They’re soooo much better than the inheritance games!
I've had my eye on those books for a while now...maybe this is my sign!
Don’t be intimidated by Jade City! It’s more urban fantasy than high, so it’s pretty accessible once you get all the names and titles down. It’s one of my fave fantasy reads from last year!!
ooh okay this makes me feel a little less scared!! Can't wait to see what I think 🤭💕
rach, i’m planning on reading six of crows but i’m jumping shadow and bones, anything you think i need to know before starting the book or it’ll be fine? btw love you
Did you ever read You Had me at Hello by Mhairi McFarlane? Similar right person wrong time but throw in realism and a will they won't they plot. I love it
I read that a couple of years ago! I wasn't a huge fan though
i think a darker shade of magic might be on kindleunlimited! it is in germany:)
oh my gosh thank you!! Just downloaded it!!!
You should read Cinder by Marissa Meyer!!
If you’re going to read crescent city I’d read all of the acorar series first! It will hit so much better I promise
You deserve each other is my favorite romcom of 2022
I cannot waittttt to read it!!! 🤭
It gave monster in law vibes you know the Jennifer Lopez movie not the same plot but the vibes I was laughing a lot 😂❤️enjoyyyyyy
I Love the verse of the video. What is your favorite verse in the Bible?
Rach please read song of Achilles, such a beautifully written book
I know, I definitely need to 😭
sorry if you been asked this before however the book you are holding that you have your TBR 2022 list in where did you get that?
Emma Kate Co! I linked it in my reading journal video :)
Omg please push through zodiac academy. Im on book 8, its just so addicting. But be warned there’s a lot of bullying and def cringey moments lol
ohhhh my goodness you should 100% read "The Christy Miller" series by Robin Jones Gunn!!! She is a Christian author and it is just such a fun time!! Plus it has spin-off series with side characters so if you really love it you get soooo much !!!
Oooh okay!! That sounds so good!!
You should try Ariana Godoy
GOOD BOOK & MORE 2023 $$
A good book paints a picture
For both your heart and brain.
It doesn't need a second chance
To make its meaning plain.
A good book like the flower
The lily or the rose.
God plants it in a poet's brain
And there its beauty grows.
A good book like a cardinal
Is pregnant with song.
You can’t help but hear its message
As it sings what's right or wrong.
A good book helps us remember
What the joys of life are for.
It makes us want to love someone
Till death comes knocking the door.
