I'm literally shocked that you don't have more subscribers. Like your videos are literally so good! At first I had subscribed without watching any of your videos because I wanted to find more good booktubers and after watching just one of your videos I was in love💚
Off topic, the verse you shared at the beginning gave me peace. I lost my mum earlier this year and was just about to go down a rabbit hole of grief tonight. I clicked on your video to try and distract and saw the verse. It was perfectly timed. Thanks Rachel and love your book videos
I’m excited for you to read the Shadowhunter books!! It’s the series that got me into reading in middle school 🥰 but as far as reading order I really recommend reading them by publication order bc some of the infernal devices books might spoil some stuff in the later mortal instruments books! So basically you have to read the first three mortal instruments books then you alternate between infernal devices & the last three mortal instruments to avoid spoilers 💖
Hi Rachel, I have been an avid reader all my younger years, then when I did my 6yrs of uni as a grown woman I lost my passion for reading. You have inspired me to read again, I have read 3 of your recommendations in the last 2 weeks, so thank you for inspiring my inner reader again, I love that although I’m a working mum of 4 you have made me realise how deserving I am of having some me time to immerse myself into reading again. Love your vids thank you 🙏 I will say I struggle finding authors I love so any help would be awesome 💖💖
i cannot wait to hear your thoughts on throne of glass! in my opinion the series gets better as it goes, and as for the grisha verse i think you’ll really love the found family and adventure in six of crows :)
I've been having such a bad day today and honestly watching your video is the biggest comfort 🥺 thank you for always being a ray of sunshine girl! Now I'm gonna go treat myself to a new book 🥰💕
I am so glad it is not just me who accidently accumulates books during a book buying ban. I've got The Cruel Prince on my TBR because of you and I have added Scythe and Red Rising because they were recommended to me as Hunger Games-esque books. Food for thought!
I think the grooming book sounds the best out of this horde. It sounds like the perfect model of a character-driven story, where the character's fundamental belief is questioned and then changed when confronted with new information. It makes me wonder whether there will be a negative character arc, or whether the character will heal by the end. Great video!
I give myself a amount limit for each month and at the beginning of the month i order as many book as i can fit in that budget. That usually works for me and stops me from binge buying
7:51 Hey Rachel so this is the whole shadow hunter series of book that I’m following. - City of Bones - City of Ashes - City of Glass - Clockwork Angel - City of Fallen Angels - Clockwork Prince - City of Lost Souls - Clockwork Princess - City of Heavenly Fire - The Bane Chronicles - Tales of the ShadowHunters Academy - Lady midnight - Lord of Shadows - Ghost of the Shadow Market - Chain of Gold - Chain of Iron - The Red Scrolls of Magic - The Lost Book of the White Enjoy
For The Shadowhunter Chronicles , I would really recommend having finished The Infernal Devices before you read City of Heavenly Fire bc you might not appreciate the end as much if you haven’t ❤️
I've been looking for some good booktubers, one video in with you and you are now one of my favorites. I love your vibes and I can't wait to watch more of your content!
strongly recommend looking up how to tandem read empire of storms and tower of dawn in TOG because they happen simultaneously and EOS has a pretty big cliffhanger and then having to go back in time to the start of TOD isn’t very fun
I love the infernal devices I prefer that over the mortal instruments which I didn’t like as much as the infernal devices. I love the ex talk one of my favorite books
Rachel, you inspired me to get back into reading in 2022. I set myself what I thought was quite a stretch challenge of reading one book a week, so 52 books in 2022. I’m proud to report I have read 40 books so far this year (and we’ve not quite hit the halfway mark), and I have to credit you for some great recommendations. Needless to say I have read all of TJRs books and am working my way through Colleen Hoovers back catalogue. Just about to kick off The Cruel Prince which I’m sure based on your experience I will thoroughly enjoy. Thank you so much for helping me rediscover my love for reading. Keep the book reviews and recommendations coming 😍
Fully obsessed with this haul! Girl you are gonna be so busy reading so many books haha! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the throne of glass series! Also hope you love the books I sent you 💗
I highly suggest you read the first 3 books in the mortal instruments and then clockwork angel, the 4th in the mortal instruments, clockwork prince, the 5th in the mortal instruments, clockwork princess and then the 6th in the mortal instruments
Oh my gosh I love throne of glass so much ❤️ my favorites are the first one, second one, and fourth one ❤️ I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts when you read them!
I, too, was supposed to be on a 2022 book buying ban …. That lasted two months 😂 most have been bought through credit received trading in old books I’m no longer into but still … I suck hahaha
This reminds me of that TikTok 'sound' that says... Don't do it girl, it's not worth it... I'm not going to do it girl, i'm just thinking about it.... I did it!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 🤣 💖💖💖💖💖
I feel like when I place myself on a book buying ban, I feel the urge to buy more books! I think enabling a restriction on ourselves makes us want to push the rules
I read both The Hating Game and The Spanish Love Deception and whilst I HATED THG, I absolutely loved TSLD. I think in the latter, even though it feels like you're reading something you've read before (deja vu), I felt like I loved it more. This is mainly because I liked Lena, but could not stand Lucy. Definitely go in not thinking about THG and you'll love it!
I'm so excited to hear your opinion of My Dark Vanessa, but I'm nervous because I loved it, but I think you will hate it based on what you normally read (even though you are aware of this). I just felt so validated for how I feel about the sexualisation of girls when I was a teen.
Wasn't really into books until I found you haha 😅 Now I have a couple and its just getting bigger. I love reading its so fun. Always look forward to your videos. 💖
please read the truth about love soon!! i read it right after i watched your last video talking about it and i loved it so much! it is emotional but so so amazing. i have a feeling you will love it :)
if you love fantasy you need to read the medoran chronicles and the prison healer trilogy by lynette noni!!!!!!! literally my favourite author and series' EVER they are so good
also here’s my wishlist if anyone wants a peek 🫣 i love seeing what other people have to get inspo for my own tbr! 📚www.amazon.com.au/hz/wishlist/ls/1U2UZ01TWT92I?ref_=wl_share
New to the book-tube community and already overwhelmed with book recs... who are some of your favorite booktubers that I should watch?? as requested, here is my amazon wishlist :) www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3T7APF2JLDIJW?ref_=wl_share
I’m loving where your book taste is going 🤩
Haley you’re here too!
“Book buying bans don’t count with gift cards.” This is now a rule for me until further notice 👌🏼😂
I'm literally shocked that you don't have more subscribers. Like your videos are literally so good! At first I had subscribed without watching any of your videos because I wanted to find more good booktubers and after watching just one of your videos I was in love💚
Wow thank you so much 🥹
196k is actually a ton is subscribers 😂

God loves you🖤
I’m sorry for your loss, sending love. xx

Hey, please could you give a tutorial on how you curl your hair in one of your videos
strongly recommend looking up how to tandem read empire of storms and tower of dawn in TOG because they happen simultaneously and EOS has a pretty big cliffhanger and then having to go back in time to the start of TOD isn’t very fun
your face at 0:07 is me every time I buy a book when I have an absolutely huge physical TBR already
🤣🤣🤣
I love the infernal devices I prefer that over the mortal instruments which I didn’t like as much as the infernal devices. I love the ex talk one of my favorite books

The caster chronicles series and the dangerous creatures series are amazing as well in my opinion
I read city of bones and my sister loves the whole world and the first book "city of bones" is amazing
Rachel! I love your hauls and your hair here! Maybe you could show how you achieve this look in a vlog soon? 😊
My dark Vanessa is one of my favorite books I’ve read all year it’s incredible
Oh my gosh I love throne of glass so much ❤️ my favorites are the first one, second one, and fourth one ❤️ I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts when you read them!
Also oh my gosh, it's so sweet of you to ask people to leave their wishlists so that you can send them books
The truth about love is amazing she’s such a talented author it’s one of my top 5 books I’ve ever read ! X
I’ve almost finished it now and I love!!!
YES THRONE OF GLASS!!! I just finished the 5th book:) you’ll love it! Also you look stunning in this video!!
I always tell myself, once I study and pass my exam for the week, I can immediately go buy a new book! It’s been such a good reward
If you like found family so much you should definitely try the addicted/calloway sister series, btw I love you vid xxx
I’m already reading it, currently on book 7 😇
Literally just finished the ex talk and i would say it's an easy, quick read love it a lotttt💕
I, too, was supposed to be on a 2022 book buying ban …. That lasted two months 😂 most have been bought through credit received trading in old books I’m no longer into but still … I suck hahaha
I’m so using terms and conditions apply for when I go shopping and have to tell my husband thx you so much you just saved me going shopping tomorrow
i love this! i am currently on a book buying ban so i am living through you right now!
I’m not a huge book person (yet 😉) but I still love watching your book videos because I love how excited you are about the books!! 😆❤️
Throne of glass and the infernal devices are my favourite fantasy series ever. Hope you enjoy!
How would you rank the ACOTAR series? I’ve read the first two but would love to hear which were your favorites in the series.
This reminds me of that TikTok 'sound' that says... Don't do it girl, it's not worth it... I'm not going to do it girl, i'm just thinking about it.... I did it!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 🤣 💖💖💖💖💖
Literally 🤣

Legendborn got me into YA! It’s SO GOOD
I read both The Hating Game and The Spanish Love Deception and whilst I HATED THG, I absolutely loved TSLD. I think in the latter, even though it feels like you're reading something you've read before (deja vu), I felt like I loved it more. This is mainly because I liked Lena, but could not stand Lucy. Definitely go in not thinking about THG and you'll love it!
these hollow vows is on my tbr!!! can't wait to share thoughts x
so many good recs❤️
love the book haul! Also, where did you get your sweater from😍
Definitely read the summer I turned pretty
Definitely will 😍
you’ve got to read throne of glass ASAP. I think it seriously might be even better than ACOTAR 🤫
What a lovely exciting book pile ♥️😍!
I didn’t love the hating game, I actually didn’t like it at all but I absolutely loved the Spanish love deception! Excited for what you think!
Love your videos! Would love to see a bookshelf tour
I couldn’t love your Book videos more if I tried. Thank you so much for sharing! What a haul. So many good books. X
when i heard "i love YA dark academia" i immediately went to like the video
Just ordered These Hollow Vows because of this video! 😊🙃
My Dark Vanessa is SO good 💚
Hi 😁 Four is not a full story. You get to know four but in several ocasions of his life. It is really good, hope you like it. Love, from Portugal
After those 9 books in the shadowhunter world you have to pick up the next three!
I’m SO early 😂 I went book browsing in Kmart earlier so I’m all here for this video!!!
Same😅I just went to Kmart and picked up Christina Lauren's new book Something Wilder.
Legendborn is one of my favesss!!! Cant stop thinking about it
Eeep I’m excited!! 🤩
The bible verses at the start of your videos🫶🏽
I'm so excited to hear your opinion of My Dark Vanessa, but I'm nervous because I loved it, but I think you will hate it based on what you normally read (even though you are aware of this). I just felt so validated for how I feel about the sexualisation of girls when I was a teen.
Wasn't really into books until I found you haha 😅 Now I have a couple and its just getting bigger. I love reading its so fun. Always look forward to your videos. 💖
Always love your book videos💗
romance with no spice recommendations?
where did you find that copy of these hollow vows
please read the truth about love soon!! i read it right after i watched your last video talking about it and i loved it so much! it is emotional but so so amazing. i have a feeling you will love it :)
Thank you for reminding me about the mortal instrument series 😖😭
that is A LOT of books and … i love it 🤩🤩
I love your book videos! I just started reading Book lovers by Emily Henry and can't wait to read some of your other reccomendations.
I love your videos!!
BOOKS BOOK BOOKS ❤️
I recently read the Cheat Sheet it's so good!!!
I’m so excited to read it 😍
Aahhh this filled my cup! Love as always xxxxxxxx
be careful with the four book treat it as entirely separate from the series because the ending is makes you question the friendships
Why is it whenever you’re on a book-buying ban that you find so many books from your wishlist 😓
I haven’t read ACOTAR….does it have spice?!?
Yes it does
The Spanish love deception is a 5 star read for me and I don’t usually love slow burn! But just beware of the spice if you don’t love it ❤️
Please read the Sevenwaters series by Juliet Marillier. My fave fantasy series of all time!
New books are soooo nice :)
if you love fantasy you need to read the medoran chronicles and the prison healer trilogy by lynette noni!!!!!!! literally my favourite author and series' EVER they are so good
💛 Living my dream life!
I really liked The Spanish Love Deception but couldn’t even get through The Hating Game
Amazing video Rachel!😸
Did somebody say new favorite booktuber??
This might be a rather unpopular opinion…BUT: I thought TOG was so much better than ACOTAR… My favorite fantasy series ever🥰
how can i send you something that isn’t on your wishlist!! would love to send you a copy of one of my fave books 🥰
also here’s my wishlist if anyone wants a peek 🫣 i love seeing what other people have to get inspo for my own tbr! 📚www.amazon.com.au/hz/wishlist/ls/1U2UZ01TWT92I?ref_=wl_share
