genuinely love listening to you talk and it makes me so excited to read and have these emotions! watching you read is also amazing because you can see just how much you feel and how immersed you get into your books and i want that. also yes have to mention no makeup mel is stunning and im obsessed it’s true your honor.
i’ve just started getting back into reading the past couple months and ur the first book youtube channel i’ve subscribed too and i LOVE ur videos ive been binging ur channel and i was so excited when u posted this. anyways luv u and ur content and ur cats have a good day
Silvia Moreno-Garcia is amazing. She became one of my favourite authors this year. Outstanding work. I recommend all her books. As a latina, I relate so much with her MC.
Mel, I absolutely love watching your vlogs, I am always rewatching your old ones! I love your personality! Thank you for existing on youtube! 🥺👉🏻👈🏻💖💖 Your videos always make my day! 😭💕💕💕 Lots of love, From India 🇮🇳💖
All Rhodes Lead Here is one I'm going to be adding to my tbr. Gods of Jade and Shadow is one I've been attempting to read for a while now. I started Curse of the Specter Queen and I'm enjoying it so far!
I'm reading The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy right now and it's sooo cute and wholesome. I adore it already. 🤩 But thank you for this vlog, it made me want to finally pick up Gods of Jade and Shadow as well as All rhodes lead here. 🤗
Yes you read Gods Of Jade And Shadow! That's 2/3 books I've recommended you Mel. The Headmaster is up next! I share your thoughts about the ending of Gods of Jade and Shadow btw.
I've been meaning to do a 24 hour readathon like this, but I film on my phone and not sure where else I could find a timer. This looks like it was a fun idea to film, now I have seen this idea more than once. Great video...
lol maybe its because you read it but I kinda liked hte part of Seasonal fears you read? it sounds so intriguing lol - I've only read one book by Mcguire (EVAD) but low key now considering picking up both Seasonal fears and middelgame
Did I add The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy to my TBR purely off the cover and the cover alone without listening to Mel read the synopsis? ............................................ Yes. I did.
I've read The Maidens on your list, and it was just okay for me. I rated it 3 stars. I loved the vibe and the mystery, it was just very slow and I didn't feel invested in the story at all.
the whole "i wish i had lighter skin so that society accepts me." is what i thought when i was younger. I do have a bit darker skin and my younger self wished she was white because of society standards. I thankfully don’t have these kind of thoughts anymore i‘m proud of my skin but the fact that there are still people out there who wish they were white because of our society makes me question literally everything about humanity.
i'm so sorry you had to go through that when you were younger, nobody deserves to be subjected to wrong ideologies/colorism like that😭 and period girl, take space and be loud and proud!
Love you Mel, but I felt like you gave too much detail about the books in this one. I found myself skipping a little so those books which are already in my tbr, wouldn’t get spoiled.
So sad for you Mel that you didn’t enjoy Seasonal Fears. I have to admit, I did not like Middlegame after your high praise of it and was not planning on reading the sequel. To me, Middlegame was a hot mess, although I did like the time jump aspect.
no make up mel IS A ✨ STUNNER ✨
Lol prech
i see no lies here
okay say it louder!!!🏃🏻♀🏃🏻♀🏃🏻♀
she’s literally gorgeous it’s crazy
What you said in the introduction: No make up Mel is stunning! And guess what girly. I have to agree with you.
😏💅🏻
This dramatic reading of Middlegame?! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 *throws flowers and gives standing ovation*
listeeeen, who's gonna hire me to narrate the new version of the audio?! i'm waiting💅🏻😂
Mel should never stop posting,and that is our law
if i ever do, take me to court🕺🏻🫢
Gods of Jade and Shadow is so underrated. So happy when I saw it in the thumbnail
it was literally so freaking good😭
All Rhodes Lead Here is a top contender for my read of the year. It’s just so heart warming and it has good summer vibes
it really does! it made my heart so warm🥰
your 24/48 hour videos are my absl fav ! perfect timing as it was just before i found out my exam results so calmed me a lot !
i hope the results were good!!!💖

Use this as the petition for Mel to read us more dramatic excerpts from her favorite books✨

I loved how you talked about Gods of jade and shadow! I put it on my tbr.
24 hours of ACTUAL reading!? I would pass out from exhaustion lol
it really was exhausting😂 it'd work better in the span of a week vs a weekend!
Mel and her cats are my obsession lately 🥰
syl and vin are everythinggg😍🫶🏻

the timer doesn't stop even if you film on your phone!!🕺🏻 it was a super fun time
@@MelReads that is good to know thank mel.. I need to try this one of these day maybe before the end of the year
lol maybe its because you read it but I kinda liked hte part of Seasonal fears you read? it sounds so intriguing lol - I've only read one book by Mcguire (EVAD) but low key now considering picking up both Seasonal fears and middelgame
i hope you love it, if you do pick it up👀❤🔥
SO L WAS LIKE SHE IS GOD SHE IS SO PERFECT , STUNNING, PERFECT VOICE ❤❤❤❤❤❤ AND NOW L AM READING 📖 ❤❤❤
Oh no! I was really hoping seasonal fears was as good as Middlegame 😭
reading is super subjective, so you never know🫣👀 you could end up loving it!
Did I add The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy to my TBR purely off the cover and the cover alone without listening to Mel read the synopsis?
............................................
Yes. I did.
hehehe🫢🕺🏻
The dramatic readings are seeeending me.
i'm just out here living my audiobook narrator fantasy💅🏻😂
Mel, I just wanted to let you know that you’re so gorgeous and you always give me amazing book recommendations! Thank you, but also now i’m broke lol.
omg thank you🥹 also, you're welcome hehehe
What is that wordsearch book?
it's a tv show word search!!!💖
What were your thoughts on spinning silver?
still haven't finished it!
I definitely need to read more Mariana zapata 🔥
I’ve been really wanting to get a copy of All Rhodes Lead Here but the paperback is so expensive in the UK😩 Is it worth buying???
i think it is, but the ebook is always a nice way to go!! her physical books are always super expensive for no reason😭
I cannot describe how much I loved From Lukov With Love by Mariana Zapata. It's a shame that all her books are so pricey
omg they really are, i feel like i'm being robbed when i buy them lol😭 from lukov with love was the best time too!
I've read The Maidens on your list, and it was just okay for me. I rated it 3 stars. I loved the vibe and the mystery, it was just very slow and I didn't feel invested in the story at all.
Middlegame and Seasonal Fear Sound like Rise of the Guardians Fanfiction. I kinda want to read them. I'm Curious.
15:40 waaaait do you by any chance watch Garrett Watts ?
you already knoooowwww!!! BUCKIES BUCKIES BUCKIES🕺🏻😂
@@MelReads Love it! STARBIES! STARBIES! I WANT COFFEE!
👍🏽
I need a video of the kittens while you read

@@MelReads that is so sweet of you thank you!!!

I've read The Maidens, but you didn't get to it. XD

3RD!
Love you Mel, but I felt like you gave too much detail about the books in this one. I found myself skipping a little so those books which are already in my tbr, wouldn’t get spoiled.

omg not a hot mess😭 that's okay, i'll love it for you🕺🏻
I really wanted to see you read the madians .....
