if anyone's short on cash, on a sunbeam was originally released as a webcomic, so you can read the entire thing online for free (legally!)!!
In the theme of keeping it mostly gay, I recommend Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead. It’s my favorite book so far this year, and I wish I saw more Booktubers checking it out!
I second this! I enjoyed it so much
it's on my tbr for this month. i don't like researching about books before I read them, but it's there any trigger warnings I should know about?
@@izziedias A couple characters deal with depression and anxiety, and suicide/thoughts of suicide is mentioned. The overall tone of the book stays relatively light (in my opinion), but those are prominent topics.
Omg, love this book
KRISPY KREMES omfg i spilled my water hearing that 😂
“colleen hoovers heteros” my funeral will be next week 💀💀
The grief keeper sounds a lot like the deep by rivers Solomon! That takes a little more macro look at grief transference but SO good
So many new books have been added to my TBR! A wonderful wrap up as always ☺️
The Grief Keeper sounds amazing, to the TBR it goes! Thanks for a cosy and lovely video, as always! ☺
I JUST LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!
I'm so happy that you read and loved On A Sunbeam, it's one of my favourite books ever, and I'm super excited for you to read Spinning - it's incredible and had such a big effect on me!
i missed watching your videos while having a cup of coffee . the comfort, warmth and joy your videos gave to me made me appreciate more of these little things in my life
Yet *more* books to add to my TBR list! I can't thank you enough for reawakening my love for reading, Ally. When the world is as chaotic as it is right now, cozying up with a good book is the best (healthy) escape ... even when you're reading a nail-biting thriller.
ooooo i am so glad you enjoyed on a sunbeam!!!! its not only one of my favorite graphic novels of all time but probably also just one of my favorite books ever! ive reread it twice now and i get something new out of it every time :)
i enjoy your thoughts and your commentary so much! it is so thorough and kind, even when not praising a book outright. u are so cool basically
OKAY cannot wait to watch this whole thing
So glad to hear you enjoyed One Last Stop and On A Sunbeam!! those are two l time favourite books of mine. also the griefkeeper has been on my physical TBR for a long time but never really heard anyone talk about it but I'm definitely bumping it up higher on my TBR now !!
I ALSO read One Last Stop AND On a Sunbeam in May!! Spinning is so good! I am obsessed with Tillie Walden and her art. The tarot deck is my favorite too 🤩
More goodies for my TBR pile, thank you!!
i love your channel so so so much and i just wanna say thank you
no like why did the music change when griefkeeper came on make me laugh so much
The Griefkeeper and On a Sunbeam are officially going on my TBR. I’m glad you enjoyed One Last Stop. I had such a good time with each of Casey McQuiston’s books.
girl u lookin tannnnn
Thank you for the Grief Keeper recommendation! I hit pause and ordered it right away. My mom is from El Salvador so these stories hit close to the heart. I’m excited to share it with her too and see what she thinks💕 #RepresentationMatters
Happy Pride Everyone!!!
🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
ALLY ok 18:37 when you start talking about Yerba Buena is the game of thrones lo fi music!! AHHH omg i'm so happy you use it now its SOOO good
it’s from the videogame overcooked!
omg I am adding the grief keeper to my tbr so fast
i also read on a sunbeam this month! i completely completely loved it !! the amount of times that my family had to deal with me walking into a room and yelling "SPACE FISH!" was comical. also i'm so glad you picked up spinning too, it's really great!
I remember reading on a sunbeam online! I didn't realize that it's been physically published that's so cool!!
LETS GOO you and kirsty are buddy reading the pisces!!!
YES GIVE THE GRIEF KEEPER ITS FLOWERS!!!!!!!!
Can I just say that the music you have in your videos is spectacular! I love those games, and it’s so nice to hear their music.
My favorite book of May was the manga Tomie by Junji Ito. The mc is relatable in all the wrong ways for an unhinged woman like me, and it was overall a great read.
Happy Pride!!🌈
aw thanks & you too, ben!!! ✨🌈
I hope you feel better soon!!
aw thanks seki!
I honestly find your voice so beautiful and soothing
i felt the exact same way about She Who Became The Sun!! i feel like a lot of people loved this a lot more than i did so i'm glad that someone finally shares my opinion
Since you loved One Last Stop - the author has published two holiday letters on her Instagram written by the characters and gives big updates on what they’re all up to. So fun!
Caste is soooo good!!
the five wounds i need immediately
LISTEN this is the first time I've seen a video of yours and when I heard the sims music (AND AUDIO EFFECTS omfg) I had to subscribe
edit: and the harry potter 1 game music at the end, the nostalgia!! I appreciate this so much
hello and welcome!
I recommend you try the other Emily Henry books, especially People We Meet On Vacation. Highly recommend!
Other favorite romance recs: You Deserve Each Other and Today Tonight Tomorrow
The griefkeeper sounded super interesting at first, but I was still on the fence about it given my already absurdly long tbr. But when you mentioned Watch Over Me... well... let's just say that my wallet will be considerably lighter in the near future hahahaha
A Certain Hunger is definitely going on my tbr as well. With Yerba Buena though, I guess i'm just thankful that you helped me temper my expectations a bit. Haven't gotten a copy yet, but still looking forward to it c:
I have LOVED everything I’ve read by Emily Henry so far, but I am currently in the middle of Book Lovers and I feel like it is taking me for.ever. to get through so I definitely relate with you on that one 😅. I couldn’t put Beach Read down though! And it seemed to go by quicker/easier than Book Lovers is-
thank you
Omg I have both the poppy war and she who became the sun on my tbr!
My favorite reads of May were, Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall, It Happened one summer by Tessa Bailey, Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt
not gonna lie, the Yerba Buena one hurt 😮💨 but I , of course, respect it!
adding The Grief Keeper to my online TBR IMMEDIATELY!
my ultimate favorites in May were You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty, I Kissed Shara Wheeler, Book Lovers and my reread of Yerba Buena.
can’t wait to see what you read in June! 💕
maybe i just have to give her another shot this summer :-)
oooooh i'm taking this comment as my sign to get emezis new booook
@@allisonpaiges I like your glasses
This title made me cackle a bit 😂
allisonpaiges sunday :3
I genuinely almost bought On a Sunbeam last week!!! Now I have to!
My favorite was The Paper Palace.
I read Caste last year, and I think it should be required reading in high schools.
I absolutely loved beach read when I read it two years ago, it was the first romance that I actually enjoyed and I was not just like well that was kinda fun but pretty much a waste of time. So far I’ve been disappointed with her other novels, in my opinion people we meet on vacation and book lovers are not anywhere near as good as beach read. So pls read beach read :)
To keep on theme (I love a theme), I read a super CUTE queer graphic novel and its called "Chef's Kiss" for anyone interested
happy pride :)
I read Milk Fed first as well (LOVED IT!!) but really did not love The Pisces 🧜♂️ I felt like a lot of the same literary devices were used but done better in Milk Fed imo
what song starts playing at 22.30 ?
just curious - did you intentionally not give each book a starred rating? i’ve recently decided to stop rating books (i noticed it took away from my enjoyment) and was wondering if you were in the same boat!
this time i did, yeah! i think the star ratings doesn’t give enough nuance. gonna give ditching them a try.
Bahaha 3:40 was that Abbi jacobson 😂😂
yellow is your COLOR!
i just recently discovered that i might be autistic so thank u for talking about odd girl out. i may pick it up!
A FREE SUMMER WOMAN
AHHHH
Do you have a video of sapphic recommendations?
soon!
I loved milk fed...
me too!
gay may!!!!! i love that
okay fine i’ll read the five wounds!!!!! you got me!!!!
oh no i hate when books are confusing and overwhelming
aw the grief keeper sounds SO good - i want
i gotta find that cover of a certain hunger because i refuse that damn neon green
oof “love will fix you” is very dangerous i thought that was gonna be a good one! but it probably was a piece of the time!
As far as romance goes Talia Hibbert's Brown Sisters trilogy, hands down.
oof, if you're mad about Colleen Hoover being YA, wait until you get to the ACOTAR series, particularly the later books 👀
ok the grief keeper has been added to the to-read list
omg sci-fi space gay graphic novel - I'm in. It's like, every great genre
may is GAY. i love to see it!!!
You read so much, this is so impressive. I'm also down with a cold but this video is exactly what the doctor prescribed.
it's not that deep!!!!!!
me eyeing the copy of The Priory on your shelf half the time
THE KRISPY CREME IM DEAD
i am SOOOO happy you enjoyed One Last Stop omg omgomgomg
Okay so I just read Sorrow & Bliss by Meg Mason. & if you’re looking for another raw and real character study I would say give that one a read. Again plot wise things don’t happen a ton but I got so invested in these characters and saw flaws of my own in them. Such a beautiful but heartbreaking read ( also was funny at times) ✨✨
Oh! Also there is a strong sibling relationship in it too that you would appreciate :)
Is this only a book page now????
mostly! sit down book chats n’ some vlogs
Ok I’m gonna TRY to do this in a way that makes the most sense and is the least self indulgent: 1. I totally understand your criticism of She Who Became the Sun. I believe the advertising of it (by third-party individuals)leans way too heavily on sapphic elements, and really overshadows so much trans subtext that I saw and was affected by. I think going into this book with an expectation of an epic sapphic romance is not going to get met, unfortunately. 2. The piece that I don’t like is when many readers/writers critique SWBTS for its narrative structure, when that structure is modeled after many traditional and modern ways of Asian storytelling. I am not saying that you were coming for that throat per se, but I wanted to put my thoughts somewhere because I think that this book is very complex and nuanced. Thank you for your review and YES please god get Hoover off YA shelves.
mostly gay !!!!!!!!
hip hip hooray!!!!
