as someone whose attention span is also, as you say, "cooked", rest assured that i legitimately do not notice the lengths of time between your posts and it's always just a nice surprise for me whenever new content pops up
hi lexi ! i know you've had some hard times this year so far. i just want to say we all appreciate the effort you put into your content regardless. we're the same age but im a chronically ill girlie who cannot work but watches a lot of book content for comfort. so thank u !!!
You ARE my favorite book TH-camr. I love how real and valuable you are. I always look forward to your videos. Self care is so important. Happy you are back in the swing of things. If people truly care and love you then they will be by your side through the tough times. ❤
as a fellow book lovers stan - funny story is a DELIGHT. one of Emily's very best in my opinion. I felt so isolated and heartbroken reading it while also laughing out loud. It's so so good!! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it 🫶🏼
I love how honest you are about sometimes not feeling like reading. Every reader experiences that (added bonus if you suffer from mental illness) it's okay. It makes coming back to reading even better❤
I loved the naturals, the series gets better and more interesting with each book, also the love triangle did feel different from the inheritance games tbh
Same here! I think that series was one of the first ya thrillers I ever read. I reread the first one a few years ago and still really enjoyed it even with the ridiculous premise
So happy to see a new video from you! Know you’ve been having some rough times (as someone who had been there, I’m so sorry and thinking of you)- hope you’ve been taking it easy and giving yourself some grace. So excited to add these books to my TBR!
Edit to say something actually meaningful: I read Notes on an Execution and Project Hail Mary from your recommendations and they were both amazing books!!! I have Betty, Office of Historical Corrections, and Circe in my TBR on my bookshelf ready to be read soon! Ty will forever trust your amazing recs
I love how unbothered you are by the fact that you never read new releases on time, despite of being a booktuber. I never read new releases on time either and it's really nice to see!
you are going to LOVE bright young women. it is written with so much compassion and deep insight. it may be my fave book of all time now. (this is also me requesting a reading vlog of it) 🥰🥲
I vicariously read through you, since I work 50-60 hours a week & am chronically exhausted when I'm off. Thanks for sharing all these awesome stories with us, even when you're feeling down.
I’ve been rereading the naturals series once a year since I was like 14 years old. The way the whole story comes together by the last book always has me shook even though I know what to expect. First book is def my fave and has some crazy plot twists!! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts
The variety in this list is peak mood reader and I’m all for it! One Dark Window and The Spirit Bares its Teeth are also on my TBR short list for the summer
I read the spirit bares its teeth a couple months ago and loved it! I hope you have a good time with it, and just a restorative summer reading experience overall
You nailed a specific point about how we can all literally read the same book and yet have completely different views on what we read, not counting the enthusiasm or the lack of too! I appreciate you selections to go along with my own and the list can never have too many to choose from! On a side note...I would have LOVED to either read your written Book Report or better yet, heard it live and in living color in Class! Cheers and Happy Hump Day from COW-lumbus, Ohio MOO 👋
I can’t tell you how many authors or genres I have tried and loved based on your recommendations - your taste is immaculate. Also, your life is yours and you can take however much time you want between books and videos!
honestly i love how open you are about your personal struggles when they come up and think everyone should feel OK to take time for themselves! (although I know that's not what the various algorithms say so I get it)
So excited for all that is to come on your moving journey! Speaking as someone who made it through their post college early 20's disaster make sure to go easy on yourself(easier said than done I know). I know I speak for many when I say no matter how often you post I am just so overjoyed when you do. Make sure you're taking care of yourself and taking the time you need and we will be here cheering you on!!💚
Our Wives Under the Sea was my favorite book from last year. The audiobook is fantastic and I highly recommend. It just gives such weird and spooky vibes! Very atmospheric!
Summer has officially begun now that you have blessed us with your TBR🥲 Glad to have you back - we’ve missed you, but totally understand that life sucks and self care is needed. Wishing you all the best🫂✨
your videos are a little treat every time one pops up in my sub box, and you've become my comfort person to put on in the background. and so glad you've been practicing taking care of yourself the way that you encourage us to do for ourselves :')
Lexi!!! You’re my favorite booktuber. When you’re “not on time” for new releases it’s honestly so nice bc it reminds me of books that I may have forgotten about. Thanks for being you!
this video is honestly giving me such a spark of creativity rn, having someone talk this eloquently, whether they liked or disliked the book, about my own writing is a freaking dream. plus the way you describe each book concisely and completely makes me want to read them, too! (love the categories btw LOL) plus plus your videos just make the work day more bearable, 100%. thank you for posting and just hope everything is going well for you! 🤍✨️
These TBR videos are kinda inspiring for me. I want to be the kind of person who makes TBRs (I love to-do lists and organizing myself), but I also struggle with that self-judgement, so I stopped trying to do monthly TBRs ages ago. I think I'll try this.
Your personality and your videos are so refreshing! I look forward to your new videos every time! I love your personality. I love your taste in books. I love how straightforward and open you are and how you don’t hold anything back. That being said, I hope you are taking time for yourself and anything you may be going through because that by far is more important than anything else ❤️ much love & I’m glad to see your smiling face again!
I'm so happy you're back! I found your channel within the last couple months and have been obsessively watching all of your videos. You're so unique in the way you describe plots and characters and I feel like your specific humor is exactly the same as mine and I'm just really glad that I found your channel 💕
all my rage is SOOO GOOD i read it over a year ago for uni and it was absolutely incredible, def one of my favourites of the year. funnily enough the other book i had to read for that class? I HATED IT. we love the range ✨✨
I am also doing a YA summer! Regression to childhood is the vibe. Also if you were to read Spinning Silver, highly recommend waiting until winter, its definitely a winter book
Lexi, you are one of my favourite book tubers, and the only one who could make me look at a 2 h+ video on a book I wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole - and it was HILARIOUS!! You are very appreciated!
hey lexi! i discovered your channel around 7 months ago or so and just wanted to say how much i love your content and that it successfully got me into reading again after nearly a 9 year reading slump (lit classes broke me and i thought id never recover) so i really want to thank you for that!! much love keep doin what youre doing
I've been struggling a lot with school and deadlines so far this year, as one does, and I love sitting down and enjoying your content as a form of self-care; you are also the most relatable person ever, because reading for these last few months truly was a herculean effort - hope you are doing well, you are as amazing as always
Thank you for still posting. I find it so hard to stay productive and focused when life is super busy and not easy sometimes so I admire you so much for that! This video came at a perfect time , just got covid in my final week of my degree meaning I’m missing out on all the goodbyes and parties etc so now I atleast have a lexi video!
congratulations on finishing :) even if you cant go to the parties/goodbyes, you should feel so so proud of yourself!! it isn't easy - get lots of rest & drink lots of water ~
i've read the naturals last summer and when I tell you I DEVOURED IT it was a really fast and entertaining read literally perfect for the summer days when you don't want to occupy your brain much and you want to have some fun!!!
Whenever you take a break and come back, it feels like no time has passed at all. Your videos are such a comfort to so many! I’m glad that we also provide comfort to you by engaging with your content 😁 thank you for adding to my TBR. I cannot wait to read A Love Song for Ricki Wilde!
I enjoyed the naturals sm more than the inheritance games tbh and i think it’s because it gives me the same dopamine hit as reading a book at lunch time during high school like idk ??
@@Watertreestone right?? I think it’s because maybe the author had like less stress abt it since inheritance games felt more like a money grab whereas the naturals felt more like her passion project iykwim
@chacharealsmoove I got this impression after I read the naturals, too. I like the inheritance games, but the characters and plot development are more thought out in the naturals. It's kind of funny how the characters in the naturals are meant to be special compared to the inheritance games characters, but the characters in the naturals felt like more like they where human beings with flaws compared to the inheritance games. Like the characters in the inheritance games feel more like tropes tbh
Finally got a chance to watch this and added some books to my Summer TBR for sure! We love your content and rest assured, the wait is always worth it, take care of you first and we’ll be here 🫶🏼
i just bought one dark window before seeing this video, so happy to be sharing summer reads with you lexi 💞 i know you will be getting back into the full swing of reading, and if not thats ok too!
yes please finish with the scythe series it’s my favorite series of all time. all three are amazing! after you finish the main trilogy, theres a 4th book called gleanings. it’s a collection of like 10 short stories from the universe not all focused on the main characters and i think you would really like it!!
Currently reading BYW and the only thing that could have improved the reading experience is seeing your excitement for it (and seeing you back, period). We missed you, I’m sorry life has been a dark hallway for the last few months, and I hope it’s gentler for you soon.
I will never not drop everything I’m doing to watch your latest videos whenever you post! Truly the best parts of my days/weeks/months etc. I’ve also been moving into my first house and buying furniture and it’s such a struggle 😅 but I hope things continue to get a little easier for you and we’ll all see you in your next video ❤
🫶 we are in sync hahaha. i hope your move is not miserable and you are able to put things on your walls (advanced technology, i have not done this yet) very soon
So happy you’re back! It’s always okay to take time to yourself when needed but it’s so nice to listen to you ramble about books again! I actually just finished Funny Story yesterday and loved it! I’m also gonna start reading Seven Days in June next because I trust you with my life at this point.
it's actually crazy because i was literally just scrolling through your channel the other day bc i realized out of the blue that i haven't seen a notification in a while so this was a wonderful treat to get! i'm hoping life gives you a break and super excited for you and your new home! may the book gods (LOL) bless you with a wonderful reading month and thank you for bringing some joy into my life with your content ❤
Lexi, I say this with the utmost care and honesty. It doesn't matter to me how often you post, I just feel lucky to get a peek into the books you're excited about. I read at a similar pace to you with similar ebs and waves of productivity, so your videos are a helpful check in and reminder that I do in fact still love books, even when I haven't read what I hoped to. Thank you for your time!
Yay, a new Lexi video!! 😄❤ Looking forward to a review on those books! Our Wives Under the Sea looks really intriguing, so I think I might actually pick that one up this summer as well 🤩 Hope you've been doing a little better these days! Wishing you a less stressful summer 🫂
Honestly you don't know how my I love your channel! It's my comfort place I'm so happy you exist lol. Also my fried little brain is very satisfied with the speed you talk ❤😂
i feel you on the beach, its beautiful and i love the idea of spending all day there but heat for me is miserable, only more miserable with the added sensory experience of sweat, sunscreen, and sand. however, i will devour a beach read happily from indoors at the airbnb while everyone else enjoys beaching!
you are by far my favorite booktuber to watch. Please don't apologize for taking time you needed to take care of yourself. We will be here when you post. Can't wait to see what comes next!
Your comments about how difficult it can be to get into classics is so relatable. I also struggle with the same thing, and that's why I haven't really dabbled with classics. I read Dracula and it was literally painful to read which is a bummer. And that made me feel like I can't enjoy classics but I know there are many out there that are more approachable!
aaaaaa so glad to see you back, your videos are always so refreshing and upbeat && i love your approach to choosing books for your tbr !! read 'notes of an execution' after hearing your recommendation and it actually recircuited my brain chemistry LMAO, now i started 'one dark window' since its on my tbr as well and i cant wait to see your thoughts. manifesting life is more chill for u soon x
Obsessed with all your recommendations! Juniper and Thorn and Notes on an Execution were AMAZING and I never would have gotten into them without you. IMO, cutting out Spinning Silver was a fine call. It's a great (non sexy) fae story but it also somehow feels much longer than it is? A good read, but not a "cant miss it!" by any means. On the other hand, Station Eleven is quick, easy, and fresh! It was a book that got me back into reading as an adult and I cant recommend it enough!
i'm so excited to see your thoughts about one dark window. it's the first book that i've read this year and i really loved it and its sequel. i've also been stalking your goodreads (as we all do) and i read half a soul because of you and it did not disappoint, so thank you!
Yay for Tia Williams! That's also been on my TBR a while. I read 7 Days in June at your recommendation and ADORED it so much that I went to an author event with Tia Williams! She was so smart and cool and made the new book sound really good. I hope both you and I enjoy it this summer! :)
THANK YOU for mentioning None Shall Sleep I loved it soooo much and don’t know why nobody talks about it. I’m reading the sequel right now and it’s pretty good so far
6:56 Andrew Joseph Whites’ bookcovers have been illustrated by Evangeline Gallagher!! I love their work and they also illustrated the cover for Dead Collections by Isaac Fellman, which is one of my favourite books. I loved the design of that cover so much that i looked up the artist and found Hell Followed With Us through that (its on my shelf but i’m waiting for spooky season to read it)
i’ve felt in my bones you talking about the hot girl book haha “bright young women” and “funny story” are my favourite reads this year, looking forward for your opinions :))
Incredible list! I'm looking forward to seeing some of these reviews and I am so glad to have you back in the booktube space! You have quickly become my ultimate fave booktuber... Dare I say the best to ever do it
Yay, you're back!! I've been in kind of a reading slump lately but just listening to you talk about what you're looking forward to reading makes me want to pick up a book right now too ❤ I'm glad you're doing better
I picked up The Spirit Bares its Teeth based on this video and devoured it within two days. I loved the concept, and it overall felt open to expansion without feeling unfinished. Absolutely would not be mad if it got turned into a series. I want moreeeee
Not usually a commenter but I love this channel! Lexi, you’re doing great hon and I appreciate you putting in effort to put out content even when you have personal stuff going on. You are appreciated 🫶🏼
Yay Lexi !!!!! So excited for a new video. You’re my favorite book tuber. You give such great recaps and you’re so funny. You’re going to LOVE Legends & Lattes ❤
hiii lexi!!i just wanted to say i'm quite lonely so watching your videos and essentially 'talking books' (albeit one sided Imao) is just lowkey a comfort for me - as silly as it sounds haha. also I literally finished reading "our wives under the sea" today and I'm so interested to know your thoughts. no rush though ofc :) proud of you!
crying at the description “fake dating out of what I can only assume is malice”
as someone whose attention span is also, as you say, "cooked", rest assured that i legitimately do not notice the lengths of time between your posts and it's always just a nice surprise for me whenever new content pops up
hi lexi ! i know you've had some hard times this year so far. i just want to say we all appreciate the effort you put into your content regardless. we're the same age but im a chronically ill girlie who cannot work but watches a lot of book content for comfort. so thank u !!!
thank you bestie 💞 read her body + other parties (carmen's short story collection) next!! also a banger if you like her style!!
Yes! I agree❤
9:10 “what if no death what do” perfect description
You ARE my favorite book TH-camr. I love how real and valuable you are. I always look forward to your videos. Self care is so important. Happy you are back in the swing of things. If people truly care and love you then they will be by your side through the tough times. ❤
🫶 thank you for sticking around
as a fellow book lovers stan - funny story is a DELIGHT. one of Emily's very best in my opinion. I felt so isolated and heartbroken reading it while also laughing out loud. It's so so good!! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it 🫶🏼
Book Lovers supremacyyyyyyy 🙌🙌
EVERYONE WAKE UP! OUR QUEEN AND SAVIOR HAS FINALLY POSTED🫡
But seriously I really really missed you so much❤️❤️
🫶 thank you for being here
I couldn't agree more
I love how honest you are about sometimes not feeling like reading. Every reader experiences that (added bonus if you suffer from mental illness) it's okay. It makes coming back to reading even better❤

Edit to say something actually meaningful: I read Notes on an Execution and Project Hail Mary from your recommendations and they were both amazing books!!! I have Betty, Office of Historical Corrections, and Circe in my TBR on my bookshelf ready to be read soon! Ty will forever trust your amazing recs
yesss i am so glad you loved both of those!! BANGERS i hope you enjoy the others ~
I love how unbothered you are by the fact that you never read new releases on time, despite of being a booktuber. I never read new releases on time either and it's really nice to see!
you are going to LOVE bright young women. it is written with so much compassion and deep insight. it may be my fave book of all time now. (this is also me requesting a reading vlog of it) 🥰🥲
🫣 ill see what i can do :)
PLEASEEEE this
YESS One Dark Window and Funny Story have been my favourites this year, immaculate vibes ✨ can’t wait to hear your thoughts on all these!!
I vicariously read through you, since I work 50-60 hours a week & am chronically exhausted when I'm off. Thanks for sharing all these awesome stories with us, even when you're feeling down.
🫶 remember to take care of yourself
I’ve been rereading the naturals series once a year since I was like 14 years old. The way the whole story comes together by the last book always has me shook even though I know what to expect. First book is def my fave and has some crazy plot twists!! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts
The variety in this list is peak mood reader and I’m all for it! One Dark Window and The Spirit Bares its Teeth are also on my TBR short list for the summer
we missed you Lexi and i;m so happy to see you smiling and reading!
I read the spirit bares its teeth a couple months ago and loved it! I hope you have a good time with it, and just a restorative summer reading experience overall
You nailed a specific point about how we can all literally read the same book and yet have completely different views on what we read, not counting the enthusiasm or the lack of too! I appreciate you selections to go along with my own and the list can never have too many to choose from! On a side note...I would have LOVED to either read your written Book Report or better yet, heard it live and in living color in Class! Cheers and Happy Hump Day from COW-lumbus, Ohio MOO 👋
Missed you Lexi!! Thank you for being here to brighten all our days!
The Spirit bares it's teeth is legit my favorite book I read this year I think you will love it legit one of my new favorite authors!!!!
I can’t tell you how many authors or genres I have tried and loved based on your recommendations - your taste is immaculate.
Also, your life is yours and you can take however much time you want between books and videos!
She’s back, babyyy!!!! And with cool ass pants!!!
Thanks for recommending “Betty”. I’m forever changed.
second the pants!! where are they from ???
🫶 i'm very glad you loved it, one of my favorites to see more people read :')
Also read Betty on your review and sobbed at the end, it was beautiful!
Ngl I look forward to Lexi's videos so much! Just feels like I'm talking to a friend just as deranged as me about books.
honestly i love how open you are about your personal struggles when they come up and think everyone should feel OK to take time for themselves! (although I know that's not what the various algorithms say so I get it)
So excited for all that is to come on your moving journey! Speaking as someone who made it through their post college early 20's disaster make sure to go easy on yourself(easier said than done I know).

i feel you on the beach, its beautiful and i love the idea of spending all day there but heat for me is miserable, only more miserable with the added sensory experience of sweat, sunscreen, and sand. however, i will devour a beach read happily from indoors at the airbnb while everyone else enjoys beaching!
whoohoo, love seeing a lexi comeback!!! welcome back and so excited to see the new digs and good luck with the move
you are by far my favorite booktuber to watch. Please don't apologize for taking time you needed to take care of yourself. We will be here when you post. Can't wait to see what comes next!
Your comments about how difficult it can be to get into classics is so relatable. I also struggle with the same thing, and that's why I haven't really dabbled with classics. I read Dracula and it was literally painful to read which is a bummer. And that made me feel like I can't enjoy classics but I know there are many out there that are more approachable!
😭 our time will come!! i firmly believe that books come to us when we are ready for them
So excited for you to try out one dark window! I read it at the beginning of the year and absolutely adored it! Hope you like it as well ❤
aaaaaa so glad to see you back, your videos are always so refreshing and upbeat && i love your approach to choosing books for your tbr !! read 'notes of an execution' after hearing your recommendation and it actually recircuited my brain chemistry LMAO, now i started 'one dark window' since its on my tbr as well and i cant wait to see your thoughts. manifesting life is more chill for u soon x
yesss i hope we both love one dark window
Obsessed with all your recommendations! Juniper and Thorn and Notes on an Execution were AMAZING and I never would have gotten into them without you.
IMO, cutting out Spinning Silver was a fine call. It's a great (non sexy) fae story but it also somehow feels much longer than it is? A good read, but not a "cant miss it!" by any means.
On the other hand, Station Eleven is quick, easy, and fresh! It was a book that got me back into reading as an adult and I cant recommend it enough!
i'm so excited to see your thoughts about one dark window. it's the first book that i've read this year and i really loved it and its sequel. i've also been stalking your goodreads (as we all do) and i read half a soul because of you and it did not disappoint, so thank you!
Missed you so bad, ur definitely giving me the inspiration to finish priory of the blood orange tree this summer🫡
Every time Lexi posts it feels like a breath of fresh air for like 20 to 50 minutes
Yay for Tia Williams! That's also been on my TBR a while. I read 7 Days in June at your recommendation and ADORED it so much that I went to an author event with Tia Williams! She was so smart and cool and made the new book sound really good. I hope both you and I enjoy it this summer! :)
So glad you kept Station Eleven on your tbr. It's one of my favorite books of all time.
Lexi you’re my favorite book person and so glad you’re here when you can be 🩵
THANK YOU for mentioning None Shall Sleep I loved it soooo much and don’t know why nobody talks about it. I’m reading the sequel right now and it’s pretty good so far
i have been meaning to read the sequel!!!
I actively look forward to every post!! Thanks for sharing girlie!
One Dark Window was so good! The magic system has chef’s kiss and the lore is very well done.
6:56 Andrew Joseph Whites’ bookcovers have been illustrated by Evangeline Gallagher!! I love their work and they also illustrated the cover for Dead Collections by Isaac Fellman, which is one of my favourite books. I loved the design of that cover so much that i looked up the artist and found Hell Followed With Us through that (its on my shelf but i’m waiting for spooky season to read it)
stop i just spent like 10 minutes scrolling their instagram. FABULOUS. soooooo talented
i’ve felt in my bones you talking about the hot girl book haha “bright young women” and “funny story” are my favourite reads this year, looking forward for your opinions :))
Incredible list! I'm looking forward to seeing some of these reviews and I am so glad to have you back in the booktube space! You have quickly become my ultimate fave booktuber... Dare I say the best to ever do it
Yay, you're back!! I've been in kind of a reading slump lately but just listening to you talk about what you're looking forward to reading makes me want to pick up a book right now too ❤ I'm glad you're doing better
Ooooo station eleven! I read that a few months ago and loved it. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts! (Also good call on Dutch House I dnf)
I picked up The Spirit Bares its Teeth based on this video and devoured it within two days. I loved the concept, and it overall felt open to expansion without feeling unfinished. Absolutely would not be mad if it got turned into a series. I want moreeeee
Not usually a commenter but I love this channel! Lexi, you’re doing great hon and I appreciate you putting in effort to put out content even when you have personal stuff going on. You are appreciated 🫶🏼
Yay Lexi !!!!! So excited for a new video. You’re my favorite book tuber. You give such great recaps and you’re so funny. You’re going to LOVE Legends & Lattes ❤
hiii lexi!!i just wanted to say i'm quite lonely so watching your videos and essentially 'talking books' (albeit one sided Imao) is just lowkey a comfort for me - as silly as it sounds haha. also I literally finished reading "our wives under the sea" today and I'm so interested to know your thoughts. no rush though ofc :) proud of you!
Your videos are always so entertaining and informative but also relaxing. Thrilled for your re-entry to society, take care!
