Omg Lexi I didn't even know that Desi und you are friends!! This makes me sooo happy right now cause you two are some of my favorite booktubers 🥰🤍
Same! Lol love this.
Right?! Wow..how cool. I even watched Desi’s video when she went!
Desi is awesome so is her sister cherie
What a DREAM to be in NYC with so many wonderful friends! Loved seeing you all & so glad you got time together. 🥹🩷
Omg thank you Liv and WE STILL NEED TO MEET UP!!!
We absolutely need to!!! It would be such a blast 😍
🍎 thanks Lexi!
I loved Just Kids, especially all the references to the Hotel Chelsea. I wish I could have stayed there back in the day. ☮️
your video have such a relaxing vibe. I would love to see more of it😍🥰🥰
Your summerween reading list sparked my reading needs again. I’ve done so well this year, but I slowed down as the weather got hot. Thanks to the cute spooky middle grades, I’ve hopped right back in.
Oh yay I love hearing that!!
Oh I especially love the NYC part of your vlog! You all look so happy together and it seems you had the time of your lives! You just give of such positive vibes ❤
Lexi, I need to know- where do you find all these adorable tops?? Everything you wore in this video SLAYED.
I was thinking the same thing!! I want a favorites video of her closet ❤️
Great vlog! Gotta love meeting booktube friends.📚🥤🌈🪁🍨
When I'm having trouble continuing a book I come here to have my fire relit ❤
Was so looking forward to your NYC vlog when you first mentioned your trip, what a treat!!!! 🌃🥰
All those potion drinks looked so fun! 🍵💨😲 Glad you had a magical time!!!
Thank you for bringing us along and sharing it with us! ☺️💕
Just getting round to finish watching this and I MISS New York AND BEING WITH YOU SO MUCH :'((((
Serendipity - the film beyond gorgeous, warm,cozy- ❤
I love that you decided to share your NYC footage with a themed reading vlog! I would recommend checking out Amy Poeppel's books - all are set in or near NYC and have family dynamics, flawed characters, humor and although there are rich people problems she pairs them with folks who are less economically privileged. Favorite bookstore is Wild Rumpus in Minneapolis - childrens to YA books and they have cats and chickens and other such animals hanging out!🦊🍎
Any used books bookstore is a favourite. I like to peruse endlessly and finding unexpected books!
🍎
I loved the mix of travel/reading vlog. It makes me want to plan a trip to NYC. Thanks! 🍎
I love this travel/reading vlog, I hope to see more!🍎
🍎 glad you had an amazing time! It looked fantastic.
Bit of a shame about some of the books, always disappointing when they dont meet expectations but cant be helped
I haven't been to NYC but I definitely want to go 🗽🗽
Oh I recommend if you get the chance! I really loved it!!
So good to see these amazing youtubers in your video. I will check their channels to see what they posted regarding this visit to NYC🍎I don’t see Michelle’s channel here
Omg you were in NYC I would have come and ran into you! Looks like you had a great time! Welcome to our hood! Favorite book store is obviously Strand but there are so many local ones in Brooklyn I’m in love with.
That color blush looks so pretty on you!
Village Books and Paper Dreams in Fairhaven, Washington! ❤
I haven't read it yet but Natasha Solomons wrote Fair Rosaline, what you say about Romeo makes me think about it 😉
Every time I’m in a reading slump I watch your videos and get so inspired to jump back into a book
I totally agree about One For My Enemy. It was originally a short story but she added like 200 or so pages. It should’ve just been published in it’s shorter form to be honest
INCREDIBLE VLOG OF NYC! So glad you had a amazing fun time Lexie adventures and so beautiful and magical xoxo 😚 🏝️🩵💛📙📖📖💛💛🩵🏝️🏝️📚📚🏝️🩵💛🩵📚📚🏝️🩵💛💛📖📙📙📙📙📙📖🩵🏝️🏝️📚📚📚🏝️🩵💛💛🩵🏝️📚🩵💛📖📖📖📖📖📖📙💛🩵🏝️📚📚📚📚🏝️🩵💛📖📖📙📙📚📚
Woohooooooooo you made my night lexi.... Was anticipating a vlog and here it is.. 💖💖😄
Aw thank you!!!
Wow fabulous just fabulous vlog Lexi , so well done . Truly magical time with friends plus great books. 🍎
It’s so fun watching you guys in NYC. I want more NYC content so I guess you’re just going to have to come back!😁
Mrs. Roselyn, Thank you very much!
I bought The Nest when it came out because of the cover and really struggled with it. I also didn't love the characters! I have been avoiding Pineapple Street because it definitely gave me similar vibes, so good to know you connected to that one more.
I actually really really loved Pineapple Street! And I thought pairing it with the audiobook made it really funny as well!!! 😊❤
Hope you had a good weekend and day Lexie and xoxo 😚 🏝️🩵🩵💛💛📚🏝️🩵📖📖📖🩵🏝️📚💛💛📙📙💛📚🏝️🩵🩵🩵🏝️💛📙📙📙📙💛📚🏝️🩵🩵🏝️💛💛📙📙📚🏝️🩵🩵🩵🏝️📚💛💛💛🏝️🏝️🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵📚💛💛💛💛🏝️🏝️🏝️
❤️📚❤️...I read Pineapple Street from my public library on your recommendation, loved it. After, I found a BTM copy at our thrift store (like new) and snatched it up! 🍎
The nest can’t wait to read it such a pretty cover xoxo 😚 💛📚📚📚🩵🏝️📖📖📖💛🩵📚📚📙📙📙📚🩵💛📖📖🏝️💛🩵🩵💛📖🏝️🩵📚📚📚📙📙📙🩵🩵💛🏝️🏝️📖📖📖🏝️🩵📚📚📚📙📙🩵💛🏝️🏝️
🍎 I love NY, I’m originally from Staten Island. I love my hometown. My favorite bookshop is The Mysterious Bookshop in NYC.
I'm starting to miss NYC more now seeing your video about your trip. And yay Desi I LOVE her so much!! 🍎
I already know that this will be a five star 🌟 video so thank you for sharing your life with us love you and your amazing channel please stay safe and healthy and prayers and blessings to you and your family and your amazing friends love your Aussie family friend John ❤❤❤ and I am really jealous of your amazing yard as it looks beautiful and amazing ❤❤❤
🍎 Loved watching the highlights from your trip. It looks so magical!
OMG! Incredible beautiful unique bookstores in NYC and love it all and amazing and I am in heaven xoxo 😚 🩵💛💛💛🏝️📚📙📙📙🏝️🩵💛💛🩵🏝️💛💛💛📖📖💛🏝️📚📚📙📙📙📙📙🏝️🩵💛💛📖📖📖📖📖💛🏝️📚📙📙📙🏝️🏝️💛🩵🩵📚📚📚📚📚📙📚📚🏝️🩵🩵💛
🍎I love NYC, always something to do! I'm from Chicago and I have two favorite bookstores: Myopic and Mahogany Books both in Chicago.
My favorite book store is Powells. Its a used and new bookstore here in Portland,Oregon. It is a whole city block and 5(?) stories high and is AMAZING.
Vromans in LA is my absolute favorite bookstore. It has a barnes and noble feel but almost more quaint, and less commercial. It just feels very special there.
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn would be a 4-5 stars; classic character development and just what has the great writing to appreciate. Please let us know what you think of it.
100% agree with one for my enemy, could also have finished half way through the book
🍎 I have a few favorite bookstores: The Last Bookstore (LA) , Joseph-Beth Booksellers (Cincinnati, Ohio), and The Book Mill (Montague, MA.) The Book Mill’s slogan is “Books You Don’t Need in a Place You Can’t Find!” It’s indie bookstore that sells used books. The ambience is incredible and I know you’d love it! You should come here to Massachusetts sometime in the Fall! The fall foliage is breathtaking, the vibes are peak New England, it’s like all of your dark academia dreams come true! 💜
My most favourite bookshop back in NZ (before I moved to Canada) was called the Hard to Find but Worth the Effort Bookshop. It was a combination of 2nd hand books and Rare Books Shop and I LOVED it. I no longer buy physical books here in Canada. My eyes are not so good so I buy E-books now. My favourite E-book bookshop is KOBO!!! 🍏🍎 ♥
🍎Girl your editing skills shined in this vlog!!! I'm so sorry the books for this vlog weren't it 😔 but this vlog was still a heartfelt masterpiece 😊❤
I really enjoyed this video! The mix between vloging in NYC and your book reviews is something new but a good concept🍎🍎
I can’t say for sure what my favorite bookstore in the world would be but my favorite I’ve been to is probably Kramers in D.C. I also recently visited Maggs Bro. In London and that was pretty awesome
It would have been fun to hear when your friends were staying to the camera instead of that music. Love your necklaces and the trip looked fun.
I went to NYC twice this summer. One day I took a tap class at Steps on Broadway. 😃
No, no! A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is sooo good! One of my favorites! you must read it soon. Highly recommend.
🍏So many interesting book stores!! Where I live we mostly have chain book stores. My favorite store was actually a really small one I found in Stockholm years ago. I sadly lost where I wrote down its name, so I can't even google if it still exists.
🍎, I picked up One for my Enemy and Pineapple Street a few months ago. One for my Enemy started out promising. I got a little over halfway and the wheels came off the story. I flipped back through to see if maybe it was bound wrong. Unfortunately the later half of the book is the same as the beginning. In the end I donated the book to the library. Still haven’t started Pineapple Street. Anyway have a great weekend.
Your video editing and content never fails to amuse me❤❤❤
Oh thank giddy! So with you on “One for my enemy”….
Lexi, l love your hair! You look fabulous!🗽
I want to go to NYC so so bad!!!
I hope you can meet up with your friends again soon, it looked so fun! I loved One For My Enemy but I did feel the same way as you about like specifically Sasha and Lev, I thought they were going to be in love, not at all like how they actually were when they were first getting together. I actually loved the other romance a lot more and wish the whole thing was just about them and not even about Sasha and Lev 😂 I can definitely understand your complaints. 🍎
I first started reading a murder mystery called A fatal affair by A.R Torre and I love it.. I highly recommend!
I need to make a trip to Brooklyn to visit some bookstores. It's been awhile since I've been to NYC and I just live a train ride away.
🍏 very fun !
Wait i could have met u!! 😅😊❤🎉
i am a fairly new subscriber and I am already addicted.
SO EXCITED!!! Xoxo 😚 💛🩵💛🏝️🏝️🏝️💛🩵🩵💛📚📚📚📚📖📖📙📙📙🏝️💛🩵🩵💛📚📚📚📚📚🩵💛🏝️💛🩵🩵💛💛📙📙📖📖📚📚📚
My sister and i are planning a trip to NYC for my 40th (still in denial that im only 2 yrs from that, my brain says in forever 25😂). If your ever near Columbus, Ohio you should check out The Book Loft bookstore. I love it.
🍎🍎🍎 Such fun! Sorry it wasn't the best reading week
Loved this video! 🍎
🍏Just fantastic! xoxo
I love memoires and biographies and Just Kids is probably my favorite. Her and Robert Mapplethorps love story is beautiful, but very sad, of course, since Robert died of AIDS in the eighties. Its incredibly well written.
🍎 I don't think I have a favorite bookstore. Growing up I shopped at Waldenbooks, then Books A Million, & now Barnes & Noble. If I want secondhand books I go to Wonderbooks.
a tree grows in brooklyn is an amazing book! i've read one book by emma straub, modern lovers, and couldn't even finish it, so boring!
Was here to talk about A Tree grows in Brooklyn.
Nice video Lexi just an idea the best New York book I’ve ever read was yes the one and only “ The Godfather by Mario Puzo . Read it 2 times
The Nest is one of the few books I DNF. I struggle with “the woes of the wealthy” stories anyway, and none of those characters were worth the effort.
🤩
💚
Can you link your shirt in your videos? I always love them and look for a link to buy!
Yay!!
🍎 The book Loft of German Village in Columbus, Ohio
❤📚
I also dnf'ed One For My Enemy.
Patti Smith is awesome
Powell's Portland Oregon.
Love the video, but have to point out that saying "New York City or Brooklyn" isn't quite right. Brooklyn is one of the five boroughs of New York City, so it is part of NYC. I think you might mean "Manhattan or Brooklyn". Just had to pass along that little knowledge nugget. I'm glad you enjoyed your visit!!
Omg thank you so much for saying this! I knew about the different boroughs and I also knew there was a distinction between Manhattan and Brooklyn, but I wasn’t sure if I should always say Manhattan and Brooklyn or NYC and Brooklyn! But I’ll remember this I’m so glad you let me know!! Thank you!😊❤️❤️❤️
I went to NY back in 2016 for my 13th bday and I absolutely loved it, like I’m from Ohio (fucking canton of all places💀) so it was like crazy for me. I definitely like big cities more, like i love being able to use public transit and walk places

When i finished the Nest i felt i really wasted my time ...
I wanted to love it but omg agree 😭😭😭
Thanks for the warning.
Oh, that is so disappointing. It sounds so fun. Thank you both for your honesty
Oh my goddess, I am LIVING for this vlog! Your vibes and aesthetics are EVERYTHING! I am sooooo jealous, but I am soooooo HAPPY for you!! Hopefully, with lots of saving, I can visit a Barnes and Noble in the US one day! I can't wait for my first Waterstones trip for my channel (hopefully next month I will pass my driving test)! You're so inspirational, Lexi All of you girls are just my favs on good old BookTube!! And now thank you for some more new books I have added on my forever growing TBR list!
My channel is very slowly growing, but you just keep me going, Lexi💯
Having a career in all things books and bookish is my ultimate goal 🙊
All likes and subscribers to my channel are all so highly appreciated!
Sending all my beautiful bookish love to you all!🥰
