Thank you so much, I had so much fun making it! Are you playing Spookopoly too? And ALL of the “super cute” decor LIGHTS UP (well, not the plain pumpkins) and I was SO mad at myself when I realized I forgot to turn it all on before filming! But I’m glad you liked it anyway, I feel a bit better after your comment 💕
Awww, thank you so much! You're so sweet to say so, and to take the time to comment on the video! I kind of (totally) had a blast making it (but, you could probably tell that, I'm guessing)-- Halloween and reading? Best. Combo. Ever.
I absolutely adored this video, Ngl your videos are so high quality and deserve more love and attention! I’m so excited for Spookopoly! I just uploaded my first weekly vlog lol💕
Ohmygoodness, that is so sweet of you to say, thank you so much! I'm glad you're excited too, I think (well, I know since I'm, uh, reading some of the books now!) the readathon is going to be SO MUCH fun! And congratulations, BookTube is so fun and I hope you love it here as much as I do! (And you're BRAVE, volgging scares me!)💕
@@LitCouture ahh thank you so much! I am having the best time playing bookopoly😍 it is definitely a nerve wracking thing but once you do it a few times you get used to it! You should practice it (doesn’t need to be uploaded) and maybe one day you could do it to post💕
Awww, thank you, I will happily take that title! I'm SO excited for Phantasma so I'm saving for when I need a push! Nightmare Before Kissmas; FIVE STARS OMG I CANNOT WAIT TO RAVE ABOUT IT AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! I need to be the LEGIT Queen of Halloween after reading that, PHEW. And I swear I that the only negative I've EVER hear about Dowry is that it can be a hard read at times, so I'm girding my loins (er, so to speak) for that.
YESS YOUR BACCKKKK!!!! 🤭🤭🤭 Hope your weeks going well!! If you havent read StarlingHouse you HAVE TO!!!! It had me on my KNEES. It was unlike most fantasy romances that i have read, which is what made it so good. The main characters were BREATHTAKING they were normal and pictures as “ugly” in some way! Which made them SO HUMAN. I just loved it so you. HAVEEEE to read it😭 and tell me what you think, even if you hate it!!
OhmyGOSH, okay, you have me totally convinced! Up the TBR it moves- It definitely sounds like a fall read to me! And reading about not-so-perfect characters DOES sound really refreshing for a change, not gonna lie.
@@LitCouture yea it focuses on their like “crooked noses” or her “dull yellow hair. And her mom was not so great but she cares for her little brother in a motel the best she can
I think you'll love Phantasma. I just finished it and loved it. The ending is a little typical of a romance but overall it was good and had a good balance between romance and story.
I'm still saving it for my RIGHT before Halloween read and I am SO excited for it, I swear I have heard NOTHING but good things. (Okay, don't tell, I cheated and snuck a peak at the first three pages and it is SPOOOOOKY but I can't WAIT to read it, I might push it ahead of the big Brandon Sanderson behemoth that was supposed to be next!) And there's nothing wrong with typical romance if it's done well-- a good fantasy/storyline can save A LOT, and I'm curious to see what this balance is (that exists? huh? kidding! kidding!). I'm SO glad you loved it!
Oh, GOSH, NO! I talked about two, but only one actually MADE the TBR-- I'm optimistic, not delusional! Brandon Sanderson is a delight, but I'm only human! I just know from past experience that Oathbreaker will be a five star because...his books always are. All one thousand-something pages of them...and no, no I haven't finished it yet...eek!
@@jodydiou OH THANK GOODNESS. I swear I watched that spot like ten times trying to figure out what I did wrong and was spiraling into the depths of “I think I just might be bad at talking about books” territory…your future timestamps will be noted as bookmarks and not places to panic about. Got it. I can now breathe again. (Yes, yes, I do care that much about what people think, I admit it.)
@@TwithBooks You’re so kind to ask! I filmed this was a just as I was starting to find out that you can, in fact, have an allergic reaction to any viral, bacterial, or fungal infection you may come in contact with thanks to husbands, children, or pets. That’s, right, your body can kick you while you’re down and send you running to the doctor convinced you have Chicken Pox when you just are allergic to what you've already come down with. And, of course, are now covered in hives because your body freaks out over everything. So…not doing great. During editing I could see the red splotches I didn’t know were about to come out just starting in this video (they’re in the heart, but I won’t tell you to look too closely because RISQUÉ!). And everything else in general…further down the rabbit hole of medicine I go, I still have no answers and more referrals for fancier doctors in bigger cities (not a great sign, I’m guessing). But thank you for the compliment, and for commenting- filming is always fun and so is reading, but talking with you guys makes me feel so supported. How did you know I desperately needed a pick-me-up today??? (And I mean it for real, seriously, thank you so so much 💕)
What a cute outfit!!!! And I LOVE your nails 😍 LOL "Two rules: stay alive. Don't fall in love.... man I would lose!" Also, those special editions of the Caraval series have my jaw literally on the floor! Do you know if Acrylipics bookish nook books tend to sell out and not be available at a later date so I need to snag them now or never? Or am I pretty much safe to put them on my Christmas wish list lol! As I write this you have 777 subscribers right now, and you kept rolling 7s, so (feel free to disregard this entirely) I looked up what sevens in sequence mean and a quick Google came up with: "Associated with wisdom, intuition and divine connection, the 777 angel number is considered a powerful spiritual message. When it appears repeatedly in your life, it is a reminder that you are on the right path and that you are in tune with your purpose and mission in life." How cool! ✨
WISDOM…hahahaha…but I’ll cross my fingers on the finding my purpose thing, that sounds awfully nice! (I like numerology and all that, so you’re totally speaking my language here, I love that you looked this up!) And you’re always so sweet about my outfits, thank you! I know this batch of Caraval is meant to ship out in November, so I assume they expect to sell out by then, and I know they sell out of their Throne of Glass sets regularly but restock so if you’ve got your heart set on getting it soon, it wouldn’t wait- they also haven’t confirmed any reprints as far as I know either. PS-I hope I said your last name right, but if I didn’t or you only want your first name in there (just realizing you might prefer that), let me know and I’ll edit it out ASAP!
@@LitCouture Thank you for the guidance about Caraval! And I am literally such a dork LOL when I read your comment just now (because TH-cam Actually let me know this time that I had a comment waiting *gasp*) I realized that I had gotten distracted and never finished this video🤦♀ I'm like, "wait, you said my name?? Wait, I still have ten minutes of the video I didn't watch??" I just finished watching and I am tickled pink that you shouted me out! It put suck a big smile on my face 😊You are right!! I have been watching your videos and commenting for about a year now! (I remember how much your video about your terrible experience reading apple-themed books made me laugh!) How time flies! But yes I am very excited to buddy read Hell Bent XD with you! Let us descend!!!!! Do you think it's okay to talk about spoilers in the comments sections of your videos? Also, I don't mind if you say my full name, and I don't mind how you pronounce it, either lol. Everyone who tries to say it for the first time pronounces it the way you did, but technically it is supposed to be Al (like a dude named Al) Lard.... I like the way you pronounced it better 😅
@@jessicaallard9453 Ugh, figures I would get it wrong, but thanks for making me feel better about it! I'm SO GLAD you didn't mind though, I got SO nervous after posting like...oh no, what if she wouldn't want me to say her name in a video??? And if you have Instagram you can send me a DM on there, I have my handle linked in my bio, or you can email the public account I have linked to this one (just let me know because I NEVER check it) and I'll send you my real one (because, like I said, I will NEVER check it) because CLEARLY I do not get notified when you reply to any replies on comments, and then FORGET IT. Also, ohmygosh, I was so curious to see just how much worse it was to listen to creepy stuff on audio so I started Hell Bent that way and AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH listen to your friends, you dummy, NEVER AGAIN, you were SO RIGHT.
@@LitCouture Absolutely NO problem about saying my name or pronouncing it in a different way :) Ooooh how exciting! I could do either the Instagram DM or the email! Do you have a preference?? And yeah audiobook format really does just add another layer to the FUN of scary books! Okay okay so hear me out. I am kiiiiiinda considering listening to the horror book Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman because I have heard great stuff about it, and the audiobook preview I listened to is really really cool! That would probably be a huge mistake, right?? Right... I want to be able to handle horror I really do lol
Cute Ghosties!😍😍😍
Thank you!! I canNOT believe I forgot to turn them on, they light up too- I was so mad at myself when I realized during editing!
Great video! Love your spooky decor!

Yay you're looking like such a lovely pumpkin queen here
(also Dowry of Blood is often described as sapphic but tbh it's bisexual polyamorous!)

@@jodydiou If you’re worried that’s a spoiler, it’s not, it’s right on the book flap! Transition could have admittedly been a bit smoother, though…
