Omg, I’m so happy that you received my package!!😍 My last couple of weeks have been crazy busy, so I’m now catching up with your videos. Seeing you with the book and how perfectly it fits in your bookshelf just made my day! 🫶
A study in drowning is one of my all time fav books! It’s a bit slow but the writing and atmosphere are amazing and the romance is the sweetest thing ever❤ 🥰
Mt Gravatt Bookshop is the best secondhand bookstore ever! It’s such a vibe. Lady that owns it know exactly what she has so if you’re after something in particular she’ll know. Amazing fantasy and YA section.
I just love seeing bookstores/libraries both in videos and in real life 😅 I went to a couple of bookstores I hadn't been to before yesterday and it was so fun! Would love to see more videos like this one from you Rachel 📚💌
Akarnae is so good! And the series just gets better and better! Such comforting characters!! Gives Hp vibes kinda xoxo cant wait to hear your thoughts!
Rach, you’re going to love Akarnae (Ah-Car-Nay)! This is my favourite Lynette series (I’ve read them all)! I’ve tried messaging you on IG a couple times to read this series but you didn’t get them 😢 so happy to see you’re finally picking it up. Book 3 - Draekora is my favourite ❤️
I'm up to book 3 in the Arkarnae series and really enjoying it so far. I love Lynette Noni. The Prison Healer trilogy and Whisper and Weapon are my absolute faves by her :)
i feel like lauren asher's books are so much more than romance for me! the characters always have such good individual stories that I feel the length is justifiable - and her writing is so bingeable that I don't even tend to notice how long her books are lol
If you’re happy to travel a little definitely check out the really good bookshop in Browns plains/hillcrest! They are AMAZING. Heaps and heaps of second hand books (a great selection) and also plenty of new books! I actually did work experience there in grade 10 and it’s the bessttttt 🥰 they have that many books they are stacked on the ground as well 😂
love seeing all the little bookshops! your winter in Australia seems warmer than summer in England, I live in Yorkshire and he got like two sunny days with 25*C so far, every other day it’s just miserable.
The cystic fibrosis second hand bookstore in Nundah is so great! You definitely have to take the time to sift through them, but I always find something on my list! Salti Reads is the best/ cutest romance indi book store! They also have so many MPU sticker/ sweaters/ merch etc! Definitely recommend!
I'm so glad to hear that another reader buys a physical copy of a book because they forget that they have the eBook. I've done that many times. I did that with Red Rising recently. 😊
A study in drowning is the perfect read if you want a laid back fantasy with the perfect amount of subplot of romance with the element of mystery and riddles. If you want all of those then it’s the right choice for you❤
I just recently read a study in drowning and it was so great! Really easy to read with beautiful writing and a really powerful underlying message. Has made me want to pick up more books by Ava Reid for sure!
I feel the same about Lauren Ashers writing, i enjoy it but not obsessed. I couldnt get into the first book but might go back to it since ive read Love Unwritten. I enjoyed Love Unwritten , a sweet story & it doesnt feel like 600 pages . Love Unwritten is on KU in the uk so check if it is in Aus I love that you get large print copies there. That's so good! I'm partially sighted and I'd love that here the UK Looks like you got some great books ❤
it’s so awesome having an australian booktuber that can share the australian publishers frustration with me and i can know where to buy books instead of always hearing barnes and noble 😂😂❤
Love, Just In was such a cute Australian romance set in Newcastle where I grew up so was fun for me to read and was a really interesting depiction of anxiety as the fmc struggles with health anxiety - would love to hear your thoughts on it! If We Were Villains is also one of my favourite books of all time so definitely recommend!
This video is a vibe. Love it 💛 OMGOSH ALSO I WAS LITERALLY WRITING A COMMENT TO ASK YOU TO READ ARKARNAE AND THEN I HEARD YOU SAY IT IN THE VIDEO. I'M SO EXCITED ITS MY FAVOURITE SERIES EVER
I went book looking today (i've put myself on a book buying ban for the whole year) and hadn't heard of lynette noni before , and only saw her books today, and looked at the same one you bought! it looks so fun and interesting, definitely will be purchasing as soon as we get to 2025
A study in drowning wasn’t my favorite but I feel like you personally would really like it. The imagery was amazing though and it’s more of like a mystery fantasy, very unique and atmospheric.
Fellow Aussie here! The black cover of Powerful is indeed QBD exclusive. To my knowledge, that's the only place that that particular cover was available worldwide.
The German editions of Magnolia Park still have sprayed edges in Germany! All books in the series! The last version is probably about to get published 😊❤
Agatha Christie is my favorite author! Highly recommend! Most of her books I own I found at my local used bookstore that supports my public library! 🔎💖 2:20
Have you read The Ranger’s Apprentice? It’s an action adventure series with fantasy elements AND it’s written by an Aussie! It is geared more towards guys but it’s still such a great read and hard to put down! Very entertaining!
omg please read dishonestly yours!!!! it was SO GOOD and unlike anything i have ever read before!!! its not quite mafia vibes but i guess it is kind of danger vibes because theyre con artists . The whole time i was so intrigued!! it surprised me completely 🤭💓
I saw that you picked up The Glass House. When you were at the 3rd book store. I just finished it and highly recommend it. I loved it so much. Would love you to read it or as a book club book
QBD are the only one you can get the black cover of Powerful from; as it's an exclusive to them!!! The Emily Henry books - are from QBD Warehouse......hence why they are on the front table. All QBD's Australia wide should have them!! And hope you love the Medoran Chronicles by Lynette Noni, it was my first series by her......and it's also as well my recommendation to young kids transitioning from junior fiction to young adult.
The first 2 books in the dirty air series by Lauren asher are not that good but the 3rd book is nice.. and the final 4th book called Redeemed is one of my favourite book of all time. I would recommend you to read the 4th book first cause if you read the series in order then i am pretty sure that the first 2 books will put you off. Then you can also read the 3rd book i.e. Wrecked if you like. Hope this helps :) P.S. Loved the video ❤
Yes please to more booking shopping videos like this!! 📚

You're so right, Queensland winter is such a blessing!!!

I'm reading The North Wind now and I liked it. It is similar to ACOTAR.
if you like books set in boarding schools you should try The Four that you picked up in the shop!🖤
Love the kingdom of lies series (a court this cruel and lovely) especially since she’s a NZ author
If We Were Villains is incredible! A five star read for me!
PLEASE PLEASE read When the Moon Hatched soon! It has been one of my favorite books so far this year and it was very entertaining 💕
Always love your content ❤❤❤❤
Fragile Sanctuary is SO GOOD. 5🌟
Fellow Aussie here! The black cover of Powerful is indeed QBD exclusive. To my knowledge, that's the only place that that particular cover was available worldwide.
Not sure if you’ve read: another boarding/private/ fantasy series is the Montrose Paranormal Academy series! It’s in Kindle Unlimited!
When the moon hatched is easily my fav book of 2024 ❤️
The German editions of Magnolia Park still have sprayed edges in Germany! All books in the series! The last version is probably about to get published 😊❤
If we were villains was so good. I read it a long time ago but I definitely recommend

A study in drowning is a favorite of mine! Loved the imagery and Gothic vibes. Please read ❤
Love unwritten doesn’t feel like 600 pages when reading it. I read it so fast that it felt like nothing lol

I'm convinced to read it now 👏✨️
QBD are the only one you can get the black cover of Powerful from; as it's an exclusive to them!!!
