I need some friends like you to go book shopping with! Starbucks, books, ice cream and Mexican food- sounds like a perfect day! Thank you for taking us along and sharing your haul 💜.
Cant wait to read this as well! I got it for Christmas and read like a few pages but was in a slump so i stopped. Im finally getting out of my slump (only took like 6 months 🙃) so will pick it up again soon.
@@lauren2146 actually! Like come on! He totally had a chance after the whole “Fitz is a jerk” thing close to the end of Legacy. I’m really curious as to how SM is going to play this!
OMG YESSS! So excited for this! 😍 Also congrats on the sponsorship! I’ve been dying to read that series. 👏🏻 “We’re not buying the bookstore...” but like, I would love to own one. 😅
My 5 year old daughter is named Alexandra and she has been my little bookworm since...birth lol Her favorite store is the bookstore and she is always carrying around and reading a stack of stories.
I read the first Keeper of the Lost Cities book which I really enjoyed but haven't had a chance to pick up the other books in the series. I lived in North Carolina for about a year so I remember how hot it could get at times which is so different to the hot that you find in the North. I would love to go book shopping, grabbing some caffeine to keep energy up, ice cream, food and generally have a great time. McKay's is on my list of book stores to some day visit! Thanks for taking us along so to speak.
This was SO MUCH FUN!!! I’m so glad you took us to the bookstores. Honestly my favorite days are days I set to go buy books. Perusing is the beeest and getting home with a bag full of books is such a good feeling!
the kotlc books have been out for forever and i haven't see that much talk about them on booktube in the years it's been out. i'm so glad to see more people reading them aaaaaa
Oh I didn’t realize there was a McKay’s in Chatt! I live in Nashville and my mom and I go to the one here several times every summer but I have family near Chattanooga so we’ll have to go to that one next time we’re there!
Am I the only one that wishes they were best friends with Lexi?😅 She is literally the sweetest, most optimistic, and uplifting person I’ve ever encountered! I look forward to any and all of her videos
I also live in Chattanooga and have never seen this bookstore! I will be checking them out! I love the blind books! Also love McKay's they have great deals! The Hobgoblin books looks adorable! Thanks for sharing!
Oh yeah! My mum bought me a book today. A year at the château. A TV series of a family from England who went to France, bought a château, done it up over the years and this book is about the first year of their adventure... I absolutely adore the show! Cannot wait to read it 😍 also thanks for yet another video! Always a pleasure to watch and support ✨💖 these books look soo good!
I love The Arrival. Or rather I haven't read the book but I've seen it as a play where they used his drawings. So it was the full story and with the original illustrations. But as a play. It is very impactful.
It has been a very long time since I've been to McKays. It's high time I go back and see what they have. It was fun book shopping with you! Very fun video!
If you like A Mango Shaped Space or you are just interested in this, Wendy Mass is my all-time favourite middle grade author!! I especially love The Candymakers series and Every Soul a Star. You might also love the 11 Birthdays as it is contemporary with a hint of magic!
I started Keeper of the Lost Cities series this year and am on book 7 now. It’s incredible. The world, the characters, the overall story arc. All fun and one of he best.
I appreciate the beautiful filming you do at each bookstore 🥰 always love your videos!! ALSO A Mango-Shaped Space was one of my all time favorite books in middle school. Such a touching story.
I started Keeper of the Lost Cities this week and loved book 1. Excited to read the rest of the series. Hope you like it too. Your videos make me so happy❤️
I've never been one to watch booktubers literally ever but somehow you ended up on my recommended and I've been binging all your videos, so I was glad to see you post a new one today! I recently got back into reading since I've had a lot more free time, so I'm excited to check out some of your fav books! 😊💛 (also, fellow southern girl here, I’m from KY!)
I read the Binding and OMG I LOVVVVVVEEEED IT! I read some reviews on The Betrayals where a lot of ppl didn’t enjoy it compared to the Binding. I’m going to read it myself regardless but I may wait until it’s discounted to buy it. Bridget Collin’s writing is beautiful. Hobgoblin looks so good!
oh my goodness I miss McKays SO much! Also the Butterfly Lampshade sounds so intriguing! Definitely adding that one to my list. I hope you like The Wives!! I can't wait to hear your thoughts! 🙈
I miss going to bookstores and being able to sit inside of a Starbucks. Here in Toronto we are still in lockdown. Thanks for the video and some normality.
I’m on the 3rd book of keeper of the lost cities! It’s amazing!!!! I agree that it keeps getting better and better deeper into the series. It would be amazing if u made it a clog!
Hey Lexi!!! ..I’ve said this before and I will say it again you’re the reason I have a shelf full of middle grade novels🥰 Love your videos 💕 Winder Binder sounds Amazing
I just finished the first book of Keeper of the Lost Cities a few days ago, and i love it! I can’t wait until my exams are over so i can read the rest of the books in the series!
Omg. My fiancé and I were LITERALLY just there. We went to the shop downtown and Mckays. We actually go to mckays every weekend its a bad habit 💀 i cannot believe my favorite booktuber lives so close to me 💜
I read The Betrayals last month and really loved it! It's kind of 'out there', though, and likely a lot different than what you would imagine based on the synopsis, so definitely keep an open mind while reading! 🙂 The world is actually loosely inspired by a German classic called 'The Glass Bead Game' by author Hermann Hesse.
Ok, whattttt?! I did not realize you were in Chattanooga and we are going there soon for my boys 10th birthday!!! I would love to visit some fun places if you have any recommendations!!! Definitely want to go to that bookstore and ice cream store!
I feel like you would like The Binding by Bridget Collins. I went into it thinking it was one thing and it was a COMPLETELY OTHER THING. I imagine The Betrayal will be the same and I’m totally picking up a copy haha. Her writing is beautiful. A bit slow at times but atmospheric and emotional and poignant.
Omg I love Blind Date books..... Just always scared to buy a repeat 🙄🤣 kidding but that art work in the "think" 1st store LOVED IT .. also glad I am not the only 1 who had a book buying problem 🙁🙁😁😢
I need some friends like you to go book shopping with! Starbucks, books, ice cream and Mexican food- sounds like a perfect day! Thank you for taking us along and sharing your haul 💜.
Omg SAMEEE lol lol. And I'm glad I could bring you guys with me! It definitely felt like we were hanging out to me :)
I second that!
A Mango Shaped Space was one of my favorite books when I was younger!
Oh I love hearing that!! It sounds like such a cool book I can't wait to read it!
I love book shopping videos! And I always love seeing new book stores.
I’m literally in the middle of The Southern Book Clubs Guide to Slaying Vampires and girl!! It’s a roller coaster
I've head its really amazing!!
I’m liking it but it does bring up insects and rodents a lot and it’s giving me anxiety!
Cant wait to read this as well! I got it for Christmas and read like a few pages but was in a slump so i stopped. Im finally getting out of my slump (only took like 6 months 🙃) so will pick it up again soon.
Keeper of the Lost Cities is my favorite book series EVER!! I highly recommend!!

There becoming more popular. THEY ARE SO GOOD
Oh I didn’t realize there was a McKay’s in Chatt! I live in Nashville and my mom and I go to the one here several times every summer but I have family near Chattanooga so we’ll have to go to that one next time we’re there!
The Prophets by Robert Jones, Jr. My current read, I saw it as you were scanning the shelves at Barnes and Noble! Yay!
Am I the only one that wishes they were best friends with Lexi?😅 She is literally the sweetest, most optimistic, and uplifting person I’ve ever encountered! I look forward to any and all of her videos
omg ALYSSA!!!!! Stop it I'll cry 😩🥺💕❤️
I love the way you edit. It is done so well and I feel like we are shopping together 😊
That's so nice of you to say!! I really wanted it to feel like we were all shopping together as friends. Maybe some day 😩❤️
I also live in Chattanooga and have never seen this bookstore! I will be checking them out! I love the blind books! Also love McKay's they have great deals! The Hobgoblin books looks adorable! Thanks for sharing!
Love the keeper of the cities, I have so far only read the first one.
the rest of the series is amazing!!
we live in the same city, and i’m going to need to check out Winder Binder!! 😍
I live in the same city as well and my neighbor is the manager(Gina) at Winder Binder. Best book store!!
Oh yeah! My mum bought me a book today. A year at the château.

Love how you showcased B&N. Just, welcome to heaven!
The vibes in this video were so good! Sounds like such a perfect day.
Loved sharing your day! I am a huge fan of Keeper of the Lost Cities! One of my favorite fantasy middle grade series of 2020 and can't wait for more!:
I live in Chattanooga, and I have never heard of Winder Binder. I am excited to go check out a new bookstore! Thanks for the recommendation!!
yes!! Please tell them I sent you! The manager was so helpful!!
I love McKay’s. I have been to the one in Knoxville Tennessee and Winston Salem North Carolina.
I love The Arrival. Or rather I haven't read the book but I've seen it as a play where they used his drawings. So it was the full story and with the original illustrations. But as a play. It is very impactful.
I SAW KOLTC AND CLICKED!! my favorite is keefe and i’m very excited for book 9 😌
It has been a very long time since I've been to McKays. It's high time I go back and see what they have.
It was fun book shopping with you! Very fun video!
Yesss!!! Any days at Mckays is a good day 😉
I loved FISH IN A TREE. It was brilliant! As a retired librarian and reading specialist, I recommended this to a lot of kiddos and teachers. ❤️
I’m so glad you posted! I just saw A Quiet Place 2 and I needed your positivity so I’m not scared anymore!
Aaaaaaaaa!! I love Keeper of the Lost Cities. I am reading the 4th one right now!!❤

Keeper of the Lost Cities has become one of my all time favorites. I listened to the books 1 through 8 twice while I was healing from a car accident.
Wow you got so many good books! I love blind books they are so much fun!
It was so much fun to unwrap them!! And they turned out to be so good as well!!

I am SO JEALOUS of the size of those bookshops. They make the ones I go to look miniscule.
I just read Keeper of the Lost Cities (the first book) this last month and I loved it!
A Mango Shaped Space ruined me when I was in middle school in the best way possible! I love to reread it every year 😄

Wow so many people are saying it's fantastic I'm so glad I picked it up!!
This looked like such a perfect day!
Awesome picks !!!

Have you tried any of Chandelle LaVaun’s books? The coven sounds like something you may like.
Lovee it.Felt like I was collecting the books in place of you😂💃love ya

I feel like you would like The Binding by Bridget Collins. I went into it thinking it was one thing and it was a COMPLETELY OTHER THING. I imagine The Betrayal will be the same and I’m totally picking up a copy haha. Her writing is beautiful. A bit slow at times but atmospheric and emotional and poignant.
does anyone know the names of the book with the bright colors on the left on 9;46? the colors intrigued me
Omg I love Blind Date books..... Just always scared to buy a repeat 🙄🤣 kidding but that art work in the "think" 1st store LOVED IT .. also glad I am not the only 1 who had a book buying problem 🙁🙁😁😢
