The Naturals series is finally getting the love it deserves!
So so happy that you loved ballad of never after! I needed other people in the same painful limbo as me between the 2nd and 3rd book 😅
im so hyped for the last three months of 2023, i have a feeling it'll be an amazing reading trimester :P
I’ve read the Magnolia Parks series 3 times this year. I have this internal struggle with myself every time I get the urge to read it again because I know I have sooo many other books I should be reading but this series just makes me so happy ♥️
Am 150 pages in powerless and I’ve never been this giggly and happy about a book in years!! Its my first fantasy read ever and omg i understand why everyone was obsessed with fantasy ! Am obsessed !
Looove that you had such a great reading month!! Took some notes, i think i am going to read powerless next
im soooo happy for you on this months reads!!!
I started reading the naturals because of you and i am loving it so far! I has defs got me out of my reading slump
the way i GASPED when yellowface showed up. I love this book it was so different from anything ive read!
i’ve read the first 3 books in the naturals series in less than a month. it’s very rare that i read that fast. i’m loving. this series. ❤️
Rachel I truly truly love to read books so so so much and I was eagerly waiting for this video you are my inspiration and I wish you have a amazing week ahead💓💫😊
I keep seeing Divine Rivals everywhere and your recommendation has just made me wanna read it even more!
i’m so glad you had an amazing reading month!!
So glad you read Jade City!!! The final book is in my top 5 books of this year❤
my fav part of the day! 🤍
Fav booktuber u genuinely radiate happiness & help me get through my day
This month was a good reading month for me to! I always take your recommendations and I think next month will be a fun reading month to ❤
yay I'm so happy you had a great reading month this September!!
I’ve been waiting for this oneee let’s goo
What a terrific reading month for you 😁 Currently reading Divine Rivals on my kindle and am about half way right now and loving it. Forget Me Not was my fav. Book I read in September, that book was perfection to me. Loved this video ❤
September was my best reading month ever as well!!❤
Hi Rachel!!! I Love your channel so so so much!! You are amazing! Im so excited❤
I love your videos so much thank you for helping me feel joy even when I'm feeling down..
100% agree with divine rivals, I personally loved the slow parts of it. At the same time I was reading The last letter from Rebecca Yarros and both stories have the same vibes. Both also a bit of a slow burn and both main characters writing letters to each other back and forth.. those were my two favorite of the month. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for the warning about binding 13. I was planning on reading it, but domestic violence is a big trigger for me, so I try to avoid it in books. I’ve heard other booktubers talk about the series, but you’re the first one who pointed out the heavy topics. You always warn your viewers and I truly appreciate that. Thank you, Rachel 🩷
I’m halfway through the naturals series and are loving them. Binding and keeping are fantastic ❤❤❤❤ I’m halfway through keeping and I’m sucked in. I absolutely love the characters, the storyline, the representation of abuse and anxiety. Divine rivals is just so sweet…. Until that cliffhanger 😢
i just started the naturals series after watching this and i'm loving it so far thank you so much for giving me book recommendations!
My favorite book of September was also Divine Rivals! A close second was The Seven Year Slip, which will (hopefully) be one of your favs for October!🌻📰💜
Great reading month! Tons of 4 and 5 stars!!
7:17 One of my favorite books of this month. I really enjoyed it and the romance plot had me hooked.❤
I felt the same about Yellowface! Addicting but don't know how to describe it😂 The first book I think I've read with such an unlikeable main character so it was definitely an interesting read!
I love your top, it's SO CUTE !
I clicked on this so so fast!!! The ultimate comfort TH-camr >>>> my Tuesday night is sorted!!! xxxx ❤️❤️❤️❤️
divine rivals is my favorite book so far this year. the writing was so beautiful
omggggggg adding them immediately to mr tbr
Amazing video as always Rachel!!😸
That's good to hear about Queen of Midnight....I wasn't crazy about it. Getting ready to read Heir of Fire.
Great selection of books and planning to finish the Naturals series in October. In September I read Killer Instinct, My Roommate Is A Vampire, The Ex Hex, and How to Walk Away. The only five star was Killer Instinct.
I think I’ve got an unpopular opinion here but I found the storyline to Powerless SO good but the writing style was just a bit off. Keep in mind I have just been reading Sarah J Maas so I could have set the bar high.
I did not see Threads that Bind on here but just wanted to let you know that your sharing intrigued me, also because that cover IS stunning! I enjoyed my read on that book & it was a 5 STARS FOR MEEEEEE 💘💘💘💘💘
my copy of powerless will be here in the next couple days. I'm so excited. Although, unlike you, I can't read more than 1 book at a time and I'm only 30% through 'things we left behind' and have been so busy at work I haven't had much time to read.
Say you swear is a must read for October - it made me cry in the most unexpected way and the characters 😭 they go through so much🥺... Bonus is its on your October TBR 😉✨
If Rachel made videos of spoiler summarizing once upon a broken heart and ballad of never after, I would loveee it because I want to read the last book coming out soon and I have no clue what happened in the first two and I don’t wanna read them again
I just got Divine Rivals from the library yesterday!
im glad you enjoyed binding and keeping 13! i rated keeping 13 a five stars and then binding 13 a five stars. Also the next book is called "saving 6" and that book is in joey's pov and afoie! you'll really enjoy them. i understand that you think they are diffcult to read. i was struggling when i read keeping 13. xx ilyyyyyy 💖
G’day Rachel! I hope you’ll be able to read Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine and Red, White and Royal Blue next time. You would love them as much as I do. Keep safe! ❤
Can’t wait to read powerless 🤩🤩
I had the exact experience with Jade City, it took me a while to get into it but I LOVED IT
November release for the first 2 in the The Naturals series.....we can preorder them at QBD. Then we don't have a time for the next 2 as yet, but I would guess around February for those 2
you NEED to read the caraval series by stephanie garber!!! its SOOOOO GOOD!!!
Recently bought and want to read so bad! I'm finishing a series tho
I just finished Icebreaker today and I can’t wait to read wildfire! I want to be back with those characters
I just started yellow face and I am loving it!! It’s so messed up tho haha
Rachel!!! You’re beautiful as always! And that shirt is absolutely gorgeous!🥹🫶
I recommend the Nevernight Chronicles x
I NEED TO KNOW WHERE YOUR TOP IS FROM, I am so in love with it 💛💛💛
this top 🥰 you look gorgeous in yellow rachel!!
The naturals is on my TBR
When you preorder wildfire months in advance from amazon you wait in all day for it delivered for them to say delivery was attempted but they never did… gutted so sad I couldn’t read this today.
Hi Rachel happy Tuesday night and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter
where is your top from? it’s so cute!
the only book i read this month was 'the old man and the sea' by ernest hemingway, and my word was that not fun. but hopefully october will be a better reading month !!
you should read the caraval series as well!!!!
came on TH-cam to watch some book videos because it has been a tough day… the scripture in the beginning of the video. Thank you🤍
Oh my days I aspire to be like you
Finished the renegades series & really enjoyed. Interested to see you reaction to it, especially the epilogue of book 3! Favorite book was definitely divine rivals! Read 10 books this month which is wild for me
Yayyyyyy, I haven't read either of them but they're on my immediate tbr... I'm hesitating with divine rivals just bcoz the second book isn't yet out but I just want to read it so badly
@@prajjwalika I think that is so fair!! Renegades series was just what I was needing this month for sure, hope you get around to them and enjoy!
@@nickielty_ oh I definitely will but should I wait for the second book to come out or just go and read DR?
@@prajjwalika I think you should wait!! Unless you’re really dying to read it. You would want to hop straight into the next book! :)
@@nickielty_ ohh thank you so much...now I can wait patiently... btw will it be a duology or more books are yet to come 😭?
I had a similar month, I read two 5 ⭐️ in a row and now I’m current reading Vicious by VE Schwab and I really think it’ll be another one 😁📚
Have you read The One by John Mars? It was a bit out of my comfort zone but I loved it and couldn’t put it down! I would love to hear your thoughts 😄
The premise of The Naturals reminds me of the Mysterious Benedict Society
Where’s your top from? 🥰
Id never encountered the name jameson before this book, and im australian and in my head i said it 'james-son'
do you think one can read wildfire if someone (me) DNFed icebreaker ? or do i HAVE to finish icebreaker? 😅
My favorite read in September was The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King by Carissa Broadbent.
The top you are wearing is soooo cute ☺️
That yellow shirt is so pretty on you girl
💓
You should read the House in the cerulean Sea by TJ Klune!
❤
❤️📚❤️🤗
In the uk we say cray-g and gray-am like you do and we say jay-mi-son
I heard somewhere that the first 4 chapters of A Curse For True Love (ouabh 3rd book) are out
If you loved Divine Rivals you have to read "Dreams Lie Beneath" also by Rebecca Ross and it's just as good!
Can we get more shy golden retriever book recs?💓☺️
I’m sending you love (:
I know that the books aren’t in this episode but I really want to get into Cassandra Clare’s books. She has multiple series but I was reading and apparently there all interconnected. I don’t know where to start… HELP!? ❤ I love your channel xxx
There are a lot of different ways to read the shadowhunter books and there are tons of guides online/TH-cam that are helpful. Personally I recommend starting with the mortal instruments (TMI) first just because they are her earliest works and her writing improves so much as new books are released. I also think TMI is the best introduction to the complexity of the world building for new readers and so when you progress into the other series, it will be easier to understand the concepts of the world/lore. Hope this is anyway helpful ♡
where is your cross necklace from?
I’m Australian too and I’ve never heard someone pronounce Jameson the way you do haha. But I figure since they also call him Jamie (jay-mie), it would be pronounced Jay-meson
Hey rach, would U be able to please update your monthly ratings stories on your book insta. I use it when I'm book shopping ❤❤❤
what app do you edit on?
she edits on final cut pro x
Is Powerless closed door?
PLEASE me if i should read assassian's blade first or third???? its had me putting off the throne of glass series forever
I have not read the series but my friend who has told me to read throne of glass first because assassin’s blade has some spoilers for the first few books
ok thank u SOO much@@NovaFrog55
I might need to read Yellowface. I’ve read Verity & currently reading Haunting Adeline and your explanation made me think of those 😅
none of those books are very similar
September was also my best reading month ever!! Didn’t have many 5 stars but i LOVED soo many books!! (Read like 27 books and idk how i did that but i did😭)
i tried to read binding 13, i got over 200 pages in but just me who finds it so icky reading about such young characters acting and being treated like adults?
Do you not post normal (non-book related) content anymore? Most of us subscribed for your weekly vlogs, not five videos in a row about the same books literally every booktuber has read...
no just you dear :) we subscribed to her to watch and love all of her videos!!
@@juliakoczor Rachel was a lifestyle vlogger for literal _years_ before she started the book content so I highly doubt all of those who subscribed from the beginning were just hanging around waiting for book content... I have no issue with the addition of book related content but when the channel seems to have completely shifted to another genre without any acknowledgement it's off-putting.
She still posts weekly vlogs. And welcome to life people change and develop new interests.
@@taryndancer29 She hasn't posted a weekly vlog in two weeks and the last five videos have been about books...
@kittster2785 Rachel can put whatever content she wants out maybe her weekly vlogs aren’t being received as well as her book content or she hasn’t had enough content for a weekly vlog - it is also start of the month which means monthly wrap ups and tbr videos.
