I am so glad that books are still important to you. My husband is the manager of our Barnes & Noble & I can't tell you how important it is for people to still purchase books. Before long, there won't be bookstores to walk into and while prices do play a part in people ordering online or listening to audio books or using e-readers, there will come a time when we will miss the ability to walk in to a bookstore.
Although I do occasionally buy books on my IPad, there is still nothing better to me than holding a fabulous book in my hands! I think I’m a dying breed!
I work full time and try to read whenever I have time. I use the paper white kindle since the lighting is so much better. Thanks for your reccomendations.
What a lovely video. My mom instilled a love of reading in me & my siblings. We all still enjoy the actual books but technology does come in handy. Thanks for the recommendations. Happy reading.. 💐
I put my kobo ereader in an appropriate sized ziploc style freezer bag for reading in the tub. The touch feature works through the plastic and my ereader stays safe from splashes or accidental drops.
Hi Marnie...reading has always been a great love of mine! I also love Nora Roberts and JD Robb. I actually met her last fall at a book signing in her hometown. I've travelled quite a bit and I have to say it was my favorite trip so far. She is so warm & funny...I was very nervous to speak with her but she put me at ease immediately.
Love Love Love reading!! So glad to see so many people who love it. My favorite series was by Rhys Bowen and it was her Molly Murphy Series. Its usually not my genre but I found them to be good and fun. Happy Reading y’all 📚
Anyone else addicted to Philippa Gregory??? It’s pretty much all I read right now. Also great mini series based on her books put out on BBC called the White Queen and the White Princess.
I read all the time as well. I love Jodi Picoult, Mary Alice Monroe(LowCountry), Elin Hilderbrand, Kristin Hannah, Dorthea Benton Franks. I love reading about the Low Country. I live in Western MD...so maybe it's a dream to be a southern gal.
If you have Amazon Prime, one of the perks is Kindle First (they just changed the name to Amazon First) where you get to pick 1 book out of the 6 they offer, every month. The 6 change each month, all different genres, you keep the book. Amazon Prime also offers free access to some books that you can “borrow” on the Kindle. (Amazon also has a pay service Kindle unlimited with a lot more titles.)
As a fellow avid reader, I search for book recommendations all the time. Thank you for this video, I’ll will definitely check out all the books you mentionned!
I LOVE to read also! I have a Kindle but I enjoy reading from a book. My love of reading began at a very early age. My father would read the paper out loud to me each evening when I was a toddler. For that reason I was able to read in the first grade. I was actually called out on it and my parents were told to stop reading to me at home (this was in 1960). My genre is usually autobiographies and self-help.
Really enjoyed your suggestions. I also like reading your genre of books. I will also look into your suggestions for downloading books. Have a great summer!
So happy to see you do this particular video. Being an avid reader myself, I am always looking for new books. I absolutely love series as well, and once I reviewed your list of books, I found that I had read many on your list. After you mentioned the Outlander series, I immediately downloaded it and I am not disappointed. Thank you so much for your suggestions, and I hope to see more videos on your channel with your book recommendations. 😊
A recommendation is author Ann Cleeves has a series based in Shetland ( highlands/ Scotland). They are mystery series and has been adapted to TV. It’s still available on Netflix called Shetland. The place looks spectacular!
Love love that you did this video. I work in a bookstore and I am always wondering what people like to read. It helps me not be so overwhelmed and pushes me to read other things. Thank you so much.
YaY for cozy mysteries! I'll find you on Goodreads☺Hope to see more book videos & look forward to hearing about your trip to Charleston. My desire to travel there started after reading, Laura Childs, Teashop Mysteries. And the reality show, of course. Can't wait to see part 2 of the reunion.
I bought my Kindle last year but I still enjoy reading a real book so much more. I love Steve Berry books. They are historical fiction or religious fiction thriller type of stories. Basically similar to the Dan Brown books (DaVinci Code). He has a series of Cotton Malone (the main character) books that I just enjoy reading so much.
I am so happy you did this video! I’m a fellow avid reader and lover of makeup/skincare - so thank you for sharing this side of you. ☺️ My recommendation for a series for you - The Secret History of the Pink Carnation by Lauren Willig. Enjoy!
Sue Grafton is by far my favorite author who sadly passed away. Also Dana Stabenow, who lives in my hometown, I run into her around town but have never approached her. Love Rachel Gibson for romance novels. J.A Jance, the Joanna Brady series.
What a great/unique video Marnie! I too am an avid reader (I'm unable to fall asleep without reading!!) FYI- you are looking great. So fresh and beautiful!!!💕
Now I know why I watch you ! I enjoy your gift of speaking correctly ! I love to read too and have just finished " Varnia" the wife of Jefferson Davis By the same author who wrote "Cold Mountain". I prefer an old-fashioned book ! Different strokes for different folks! Thank you for this channel ! 🌹💚
I love Eve and Rourke! I love Kelley Armstrong too! And Outlander was what started my obsession with romance and time travel. Reading is my jam! If you haven’t tried Julia James, you should. Contemporary romance, the author was a lawyer and her stories center around law. I have a feeling we could chat FOREVER! 🤗😘
I have been reading Janet Evonovich series, I am with you about the characters, they are like friends....but Janet's series is a fast and easy read with laugh out loud humor and the main character falls in love with two different guys...the first of the series is called "One for the Money" -you may enjoy reading these
Love, love, love the Outlander series. I am also a big fan of Daniel Silva's Gabriel Allon series about a very talented artist that is an Israeli spy. Through this series, I have come to understand the interestingly aspects of what is going around this world. It is a series, so starting from book one is highly recommended.
I just finished Bear town by Fredrick Bachman. Another excellent book of his is A Man Called Ove. I belong to a book club which helps me read books I might not normally choose. Enjoyed the recommendations and by the way your makeup was lovely.
I'm definitely going to try Open and Shut and Strange Practice. I love a funny cozy mystery series. My fav's are Janet Evanovich, Jana DeLeon, Ann Charles (Jackrabbit Junction series). Elise Sax (Matchmaker series), Kate SeRine (Transplanted Tales), Stephanie Bond, Suzanne Enoch (Samantha Jellicoe series). Loved your video, thanks for sharing.
I also read all the time! Sometimes I stay up way too late reading on my e-reader 😊😬 I need to check out the Lowcountry series, I live in Charleston and I love reading books set in places I know! Loved this video!
I’m not sure that you would consider these light reading but I want to recommend Greg Iles Penn Cage series. Especially with your new love of Mississippi you may really like them. Rich in history.
I've been trying to read more since I haven't done much in the last few years. Currently reading The Handmaid's Tale and going to start Sharp Objects after. Neither of which are new but I've been watching the TV series for both and enjoy it, so I thought I should read the books.
Thank you for the names of the book series you have enjoyed. I bought several of them at Amazon for my kindle app. Here is a series and author I'm very fond of and preorder all the time. The author is Jerusha Jones and one of the series is Tin Can Mysteries and another is the Imogene Museum Mystery series. Love them all. Thanks for your recommendations.
Thanks Marnie, I am getting back into reading and forgot about J D Robb, I think I've read at least 20 of them. I also love cozy mystries try authors Marta Perry and Isabella Alan.
I love to read! I work at Barnes & Noble at LaCantera mall on the weekends. I feel there just isn’t enough time in the day to read as much as I want to. If you like light, fun reads, you should try books by Mary Kay Andrews. She writes fiction and I typically bust out laughing reading her books. I, too, have an eReader (Nook) and I have the kindle app on my ipad. I typically read romance, fiction, biographies, Christian fiction, religion and business books. I’m looking forward to trying your recommendations. Plus I can suggest them to customers at work. People always ask for my recommendations. It’s hard to recommend what to read sometimes. Great video Marnie!
I’m really trying to get back into reading. I miss it!! I was a big time book junkie, as well, and still get a thrill out of going into bookstores. Love the book smell ☺️. Lately, I haven’t been able to find a book that grabs me. I’ll check out your recommendations. Now I use the kindle app on my iPhone X and a Paperwhite for the same reasons as you. Love that you can send samples of the books to your various readers from Amazon.
One of the best books that I have ever read is The Secret to Hummingbird Cake by Celeste Fletcher McHale. I read slowly, and I read this book in one day. It is so good!!
I can't wait to check out some of your cozy mystery series recommendations, I love cozy mysteries!! Here's a series you might like, its by Samantha Silver, they are called the Cassie Coburn Mysteries. They are set in London. She's an American who has met up with a French investigator and they go around solving crimes. They are funny and quick, easy reads but really fun!!
The Tea Rose trilogy by Jennifer Donnelly is amazing! The first book is set in the slums of Whitechapel London during the times of Jack the Ripper. I cannot recommend this series enough!
I love reading and I think I enjoy more when I read (from) a hard copy, just something more solid about it. Recently read 'U Is For Undertow' by Sue Grafton (gripping thriller/ mystery), and it's the first I've read by this author and truly enjoyed it. It's a part of a series, easy, quick, and gripping. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Also, I think you can make a 'Books I Read this Month' a monthly feature on your Channel. I'm sure a lot of us would truly enjoy it. Cheers!
I have all the ❤️ for The All Souls Trilogy. Time’s Convert is one of my most anticipated books of 2018. So many good books coming in the last 1/4 of 2018. There’s a new Liane Moriarty and a Tana French this year that are in my pre-orders. I’m currently reading Spinning Silver by Naomi Novick. It’s excellent so far! Much love ❤️
Thank you so much for this video. It could have been me describing my reading habits when you told how you read morning and at night and how hard it was to go from a paper book to an e-reader. I still try to turn pages on my kindle! Can't wait to try several of your recommendations.
My latest favorite is Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman. I listened to it on Audible and it was wonderful!!! Funny and heartwarming!❤️
Yay, book talk ! I just finished The Almost Sisters by Joshilyn Jackson, it was so good ! Out of my normal reading comfort zone, but I really enjoyed this book. Set in the south (Alabama), it has a little mystery that holds you to the end, lots of family drama, some touchy social issues that it"s an absolute shame are still issues. Oh and some catch-you-off-guard, laugh-out-loud moments, which are the best!
I love books by Karin Slaughter. They are graphic though. Loved the Graveyard girl series by Amanda Stevens. Also enjoyed the paranormal books by Simone St. James and Jeaniene Frost too. I am on Goodreads too! I love that app.
Here Marnie, Sooo glad you made this video! I was just trying to decide what book to read! And I love a good murder/ mystery :) Thanks for all the other how to info also!
I'm excited for more recommendations! I have read several series based on your past suggestions and will be adding more to my list. I've found your and Ruth Crilly's book pics to be quite enjoyable. Thanks for posting!
I love to read as well. I finally had to limit myself to reading inherited books (meaning, the ones she's finished reading) from my mom and the library because buying books did too much damage to my budget. In our house, reading is known as my "fourth meal". No one disturbs my reading time before bed! Thanks so much for the suggestions and the Wowbrary site. Love this (and all) of your videos.
If you are heading to Charleston, check out Karen White's Tradd Street series. And Whiskey in a Teacup is fabulous-I read the digital ARC and it doesn't disappoint.
Not a book recommendation- but a tv series adaptation suggestion- The cast & producers of the new tv series for "A Discovery of Witches" was at Comic Con last week. The first season is set to release sometime in September on Sky1 in Britain . Will be on Sundance Now in the US- no air date that I know of yet- but will be on the look out. One of my all time favorite series! Really enjoy your book videos- have tried the Andy Carpenter series and also the Christopher Farnsworth/ Presidents Vampire series on your recommendation- enjoyed both.
Hi Marnie! I love when you talk books!! I am a huge booktube subscriber! You are actually one of a few beauty youTubers I watch! I am also a member of an online book club run by Anne Bogel who has the podcast What Should I Read Next. It is a fabulous book club called Modern Mrs Darcy. She also has a blog by the same name. She is an amazing resource on what to read. I read a lot of different genres on my kindle. Thanks for sharing your love of reading with us!
I can't believe someone else reads as much as me! I to was forced to get an E-reader ( ran out of room) years ago and now love mine especially on vacation, I have read most of your recommendations but am looking forward to strange practice thank you. I have a couple for you the Lord and Lady Hetheridge mysteries by Emma Jameson and the Anita Blake series by Laurel K Hamilton.
I never post, but loved the video and all of the comments with rec's. So thought I would add a series I enjoyed. It's complete and a light, enjoyable, fun read. The cat... The Lazy Girl's Guide to Magic Series by Helen Harper. Hope someone will discover and enjoy.
I too read every day and 99% fiction. I love thrillers, crime, mysteries, some chick lit, and the occasional romance mystery. I read The Rook on your recommendation and loved it! One of my all-time favorite authors is Harlan Coben. He doesn’t write fast enough for me! Highly recommend anything by him; he does have a series (Myron Bolitar).... laugh out loud and very fun reads but his other standalone books are incredible. He takes everyday events, adds an unexpected turn and you’re off.
If you love cozy mysteries and haven't read Louise Penny's Armand Gamache series you should give it a try. I absolutely love this series; the character development is fantastic.
Love your recs! Downloaded several free samples thanks to this video. I prefer an actual book, but I hear ya. My bookshelves are screaming! Luckily I’m building a reading room in my new house to accommodate all these books. My friend and I are going to see Reese in Waco in September. You should go!
Thank you Marnie! What a fun list! Can’t wait to start on this list. In full disclosure, I’m a children’s librarian (early learning focus) and also love to read. Lately I’ve been more into light fun reads so your list is perfect. I’ve been into the British chick lit like Sophie Kinsella (Confessions of a Shopaholic Series), Jill Mansell, and Katie Fforde. Sophie Kinsella’s latest book, “Surprise Me” was a fun read. It’s a stand alone title and not part of her Shopaholic series. And I love all your videos; makeup, fashion and your vlogs. I’m also a dog lover (we have a blue healer mix + 3 cats which is his “herd”) and I have 3 kids (25 year old and 21 year old twins). My reading time is often late into the night or early morning. Keep on reading and Thank you for using your local library. Libraries have a lot to offer both in paper and online.
Ok, your reading list is right up my alley but I have some suggestions for you too. Jim Butcher and his series with Harry Dresden, The Dresden Files are amazing. Not to mention the ultimate in paranormal and romance, Sherrilyn Kenyon’s The Dark Hunters series. Highly recommend!!!!!
I love to read Elin Hilderbrand. I too just really like fun easy reads. I also have an unrelated question. I ordered the barefoot dreams circle cardigan in a medium(only size left). Normally I am a small but I thought I would try it. It doesn’t look really big, I thought I remembered you saying you had a medium and some smalls do you think there is much difference in the sizes?
Im also an avid reader and Im excited about your recommendations. I read the all souls trilogy and I loved it! Also loved the first two books of Outlander but after that I couldnt get into it. Have you read the Fever series? It's one of my favorites of all time, you should definitely check it out!
We read alot of the same types of books! I love a good series, my sister and 2 daughters are always passing around books to each other. Lol helps to keep the cost down. I have a kobo and the kobo app in my phone and tablet. The addiction is real! Enjoy your reading!
I love a good physical book first, but do love my Kindle for keeping me in tons of books and keeping me on top of amazon preorders lol. I also just got the App for Scribed and pay the monthly fee to "borrow" even more books 😋 I love a good series as well, I read way too much thriller crime police procedure etc so I love a good cozy mystery/romance to lighten it up. The Maple Syrup series was fun and light. Thanks for sharing 📚☕🐶 thx for the heads up on the new Sookie's books!
Deb InPEI Wow! Lucky you. It’s a special place. My parents just sold their oceanfront place west of Summerside to move here in Ontario. Enjoy your island summer!
I appreciate a good ole paper book. But I am using my iPad more and more for convience and cost reasons. My favorite author is Nora Roberts. I like the kinda paranormal romance thing she does. I've tried reading her JD Robb series and just couldn't get into it.
That’s hilarious. I live in Cork, Ireland. And yes, Skibbereen is a real place. And it’s really lovely. I must find this series of books. Funny that it’s a recommendation from an American vlogger! I’ve never heard of this series.
Marnie I’m so excited you shared this! I too am a huge reader and was also a last hold out for a kindle and got it for same reasons lol Reading in bed is how I settle every night and have since a young child. Oh Nancy Drew:) I do still love to buy and hold a physical book every now and again - mostly in the summer for some reason. I read everything but especially love a good mystery also and can’t wait to check out some of these recommendations:) Have you ever read any of the Anne Perry mysteries.? Set in England in early 1800’s. I especially love the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt series and will often re-read them. There are TONS of them:) And I LOVE the Outlander series and will often re-read those as well. And every summer I re-read Pride and Prejudice. My favourite kind of day is having no plans or commitments and curling up with a good book or 2 or 3 lol Have you read The Wife Between Us or The Woman in the Window? Couldn’t put the down and full of good twists Thank you again so much for sharing this - loved it ! 👍💕 Tammy Roy from Canada 🇨🇦

Julie Ranae I agree. I miss my Borders bookstores!!

I put my kobo ereader in an appropriate sized ziploc style freezer bag for reading in the tub. The touch feature works through the plastic and my ereader stays safe from splashes or accidental drops.
This was by far my most favorite video! Love book recommendations and I really love cozy mystery series.
Hi Marnie...reading has always been a great love of mine! I also love Nora Roberts and JD Robb. I actually met her last fall at a book signing in her hometown.

Anyone else addicted to Philippa Gregory??? It’s pretty much all I read right now. Also great mini series based on her books put out on BBC called the White Queen and the White Princess.
Mocha Yak if you like Philippa Gregory you would like Allyson Weir.
Lina Adams Thanks I’ll check her out.
Yes!! She is definitely a favorite! Try Lauren Willig as well - the pink carnation series is so good!
I read all the time as well. I love Jodi Picoult, Mary Alice Monroe(LowCountry), Elin Hilderbrand, Kristin Hannah, Dorthea Benton Franks. I love reading about the Low Country. I live in Western MD...so maybe it's a dream to be a southern gal.
Love love this video. I to am a huge reader. And my fall back is always cozy mysteries.
Loving your suggestions. Thank you!!!! You made my day!
love, love, love! anytime you feel so inclined to share your favorite reads of the moment, please do. i'm all in! thanks for sharing, be blessed!
Love your reading choices they are just up my street. I cannot be without a book and have to read before I sleep. Happy reading xx

I love the Ruth Galloway mysteries by Elly Griffiths. They are set on the marshes of England. I like the mix of cozy and police procedural.
YaY for cozy mysteries! I'll find you on Goodreads☺Hope to see more book videos & look forward to hearing about your trip to Charleston. My desire to travel there started after reading, Laura Childs, Teashop Mysteries. And the reality show, of course. Can't wait to see part 2 of the reunion.
Thank you SO MUCH for this video! I needed suggestions for some good books and there are several that look really great.
I'll have to check out your Amazon store and blog post because your mystery series recs always sound so good 👍🏻

I converted to a kindle for the same reasons you list...and it’s fantastic. Reading in bed is much easier 😊
I resisted this series for a long time but am now in book 2 and am HOOKED on Game of Thrones series! (Outlander is my fave series too!)
I love books so much. I’m so glad I found you💕
I am so happy you did this video! I’m a fellow avid reader and lover of makeup/skincare - so thank you for sharing this side of you. ☺️
My recommendation for a series for you - The Secret History of the Pink Carnation by Lauren Willig. Enjoy!
Yes Hoopla and Overdrive for library books on an app. Thanks for the video. I love to read too. And I watch booktubers for book inspiration.
Sue Grafton is by far my favorite author who sadly passed away. Also Dana Stabenow, who lives in my hometown, I run into her around town but have never approached her. Love Rachel Gibson for romance novels. J.A Jance, the Joanna Brady series.
What a great/unique video Marnie! I too am an avid reader (I'm unable to fall asleep without reading!!) FYI- you are looking great. So fresh and beautiful!!!💕
Now I know why I watch you !

" Varnia" the wife of Jefferson Davis
By the same author who wrote "Cold Mountain".
I prefer an old-fashioned book !
Different strokes for different folks!
Thank you for this channel !

Marnie Goldberg Yay!
I use the Libby and Hoopla apps in addition to overdrive:)
Holy moly Marnie! I’m on/off u tube & have been a fan since you started. Congrats on how big your channel has become. Woo Hoo!!!!!!
I’m really trying to get back into reading. I miss it!! I was a big time book junkie, as well, and still get a thrill out of going into bookstores. Love the book smell ☺️.

Just started reading the Lowcountry Boil Series - very much enjoying them. Wish there was another rook/stiletto book coming out...
One of the best books that I have ever read is The Secret to Hummingbird Cake by Celeste Fletcher McHale. I read slowly, and I read this book in one day. It is so good!!

Hi Marni! Since you are discovering and enjoying the Lowcountry, I recommend Dorothea Benton Frank books. She is very entertaining.
The Tea Rose trilogy by Jennifer Donnelly is amazing! The first book is set in the slums of Whitechapel London during the times of Jack the Ripper. I cannot recommend this series enough!
I love reading and I think I enjoy more when I read (from) a hard copy, just something more solid about it.

I have all the ❤️ for The All Souls Trilogy. Time’s Convert is one of my most anticipated books of 2018. So many good books coming in the last 1/4 of 2018. There’s a new Liane Moriarty and a Tana French this year that are in my pre-orders. I’m currently reading Spinning Silver by Naomi Novick. It’s excellent so far! Much love ❤️
Thank you so much for this video. It could have been me describing my reading habits when you told how you read morning and at night and how hard it was to go from a paper book to an e-reader. I still try to turn pages on my kindle! Can't wait to try several of your recommendations.
My latest favorite is Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman. I listened to it on Audible and it was wonderful!!! Funny and heartwarming!❤️
Thanks for doing this!! I’m always looking for recommendations! 😊
Yay, book talk ! I just finished The Almost Sisters by Joshilyn Jackson, it was so good ! Out of my normal reading comfort zone, but I really enjoyed this book. Set in the south (Alabama), it has a little mystery that holds you to the end, lots of family drama, some touchy social issues that it"s an absolute shame are still issues. Oh and some catch-you-off-guard, laugh-out-loud moments, which are the best!
Not sure if you're into audiobooks, but this was a great audiobook. The author reads it and she's legit!
I love the Eve Dallas Death series just pre ordered the new book, love them.
I love the Andy Carpenter series. He's one of my top 3 authors. I love Harlan Coben!!! His Myron Bolitar series are hi.lar.ious! Quirky characters.
I love books by Karin Slaughter. They are graphic though. Loved the Graveyard girl series by Amanda Stevens. Also enjoyed the paranormal books by Simone St. James and Jeaniene Frost too. I am on Goodreads too! I love that app.
Here Marnie, Sooo glad you made this video! I was just trying to decide what book to read! And I love a good murder/ mystery :) Thanks for all the other how to info also!
Loved this video so much!!! Thank you. Going to order a ton now! I have loved so many of your recommendations in the past too :)
Discovery of Witches coming out on film. I cannot wait.
Keep book topics in your rotation 😉
I'm excited for more recommendations! I have read several series based on your past suggestions and will be adding more to my list. I've found your and Ruth Crilly's book pics to be quite enjoyable. Thanks for posting!
I love to read as well. I finally had to limit myself to reading inherited books (meaning, the ones she's finished reading) from my mom and the library because buying books did too much damage to my budget. In our house, reading is known as my "fourth meal". No one disturbs my reading time before bed! Thanks so much for the suggestions and the Wowbrary site. Love this (and all) of your videos.
If you are heading to Charleston, check out Karen White's Tradd Street series. And Whiskey in a Teacup is fabulous-I read the digital ARC and it doesn't disappoint.
Please do an updated “what’s on my iPhone” video!!! Super random but I LOVE those videos and got tons of app ideas from your video a few years ago.
I’m from Co Cork in Ireland! Never heard of the books set in Cork - skibbereen is a real town 😁
Not a book recommendation- but a tv series adaptation suggestion- The cast & producers of the new tv series for "A Discovery of Witches" was at Comic Con last week. The first season is set to release sometime in September on Sky1 in Britain . Will be on Sundance Now in the US- no air date that I know of yet- but will be on the look out. One of my all time favorite series! Really enjoy your book videos- have tried the Andy Carpenter series and also the Christopher Farnsworth/ Presidents Vampire series on your recommendation- enjoyed both.
Hi Marnie! I love when you talk books!! I am a huge booktube subscriber! You are actually one of a few beauty youTubers I watch! I am also a member of an online book club run by Anne Bogel who has the podcast What Should I Read Next. It is a fabulous book club called Modern Mrs Darcy. She also has a blog by the same name. She is an amazing resource on what to read. I read a lot of different genres on my kindle. Thanks for sharing your love of reading with us!
I can't believe someone else reads as much as me! I to was forced to get an E-reader ( ran out of room) years ago and now love mine especially on vacation, I have read most of your recommendations but am looking forward to strange practice thank you. I have a couple for you the Lord and Lady Hetheridge mysteries by Emma Jameson and the Anita Blake series by Laurel K Hamilton.
I never post, but loved the video and all of the comments with rec's. So thought I would add a series I enjoyed. It's complete and a light, enjoyable, fun read. The cat... The Lazy Girl's Guide to Magic Series by Helen Harper. Hope someone will discover and enjoy.
I really love Kristen Ashley books, strong female characters. Her Rock-Chick series is a blast to read.
I too read every day and 99% fiction. I love thrillers, crime, mysteries, some chick lit, and the occasional romance mystery. I read The Rook on your recommendation and loved it! One of my all-time favorite authors is Harlan Coben. He doesn’t write fast enough for me! Highly recommend anything by him; he does have a series (Myron Bolitar).... laugh out loud and very fun reads but his other standalone books are incredible. He takes everyday events, adds an unexpected turn and you’re off.
If you love cozy mysteries and haven't read Louise Penny's Armand Gamache series you should give it a try. I absolutely love this series; the character development is fantastic.
The first two books are good, but I became hooked while reading book three.
One of my absolute favorites!
Love, love book reviews! I'm adding them to my wish list. Thanks so much!
Love your recs! Downloaded several free samples thanks to this video. I prefer an actual book, but I hear ya. My bookshelves are screaming! Luckily I’m building a reading room in my new house to accommodate all these books. My friend and I are going to see Reese in Waco in September. You should go!
OMG she's coming to Waco? I so want to go!!
Thank you Marnie! What a fun list! Can’t wait to start on this list. In full disclosure, I’m a children’s librarian (early learning focus) and also love to read. Lately I’ve been more into light fun reads so your list is perfect. I’ve been into the British chick lit like Sophie Kinsella (Confessions of a Shopaholic Series), Jill Mansell, and Katie Fforde. Sophie Kinsella’s latest book, “Surprise Me” was a fun read. It’s a stand alone title and not part of her Shopaholic series. And I love all your videos; makeup, fashion and your vlogs. I’m also a dog lover (we have a blue healer mix + 3 cats which is his “herd”) and I have 3 kids (25 year old and 21 year old twins). My reading time is often late into the night or early morning. Keep on reading and Thank you for using your local library. Libraries have a lot to offer both in paper and online.
Recently preordered the fourth book in the series by Robert Galbraith....The Strike series
WHAT?! There's a fourth one?!! YAASSSS!!!!
Marnie Goldberg 🤓🤓
Ok, your reading list is right up my alley but I have some suggestions for you too. Jim Butcher and his series with Harry Dresden, The Dresden Files are amazing. Not to mention the ultimate in paranormal and romance, Sherrilyn Kenyon’s The Dark Hunters series. Highly recommend!!!!!
Read them both! ;)
I love to read Elin Hilderbrand. I too just really like fun easy reads. I also have an unrelated question. I ordered the barefoot dreams circle cardigan in a medium(only size left). Normally I am a small but I thought I would try it. It doesn’t look really big, I thought I remembered you saying you had a medium and some smalls do you think there is much difference in the sizes?
There is very little difference between the two sizes. A little more room in the sleeves and it won’t drape as closely to the body.
Im also an avid reader and Im excited about your recommendations. I read the all souls trilogy and I loved it! Also loved the first two books of Outlander but after that I couldnt get into it. Have you read the Fever series? It's one of my favorites of all time, you should definitely check it out!
We read alot of the same types of books! I love a good series, my sister and 2 daughters are always passing around books to each other. Lol helps to keep the cost down. I have a kobo and the kobo app in my phone and tablet. The addiction is real! Enjoy your reading!
I love a good physical book first, but do love my Kindle for keeping me in tons of books and keeping me on top of amazon preorders lol. I also just got the App for Scribed and pay the monthly fee to "borrow" even more books 😋 I love a good series as well, I read way too much thriller crime police procedure etc so I love a good cozy mystery/romance to lighten it up. The Maple Syrup series was fun and light. Thanks for sharing 📚☕🐶 thx for the heads up on the new Sookie's books!
I will have to check out the maple syrup series(Canadian here). ‘Deb inPEI’ my family is from there! Miss it.
Mocha Yak yes please do, written by Emily James. I am "from away" but have lived on the Island for 20 years next month 😋
Deb InPEI Wow! Lucky you. It’s a special place. My parents just sold their oceanfront place west of Summerside to move here in Ontario. Enjoy your island summer!
I appreciate a good ole paper book. But I am using my iPad more and more for convience and cost reasons. My favorite author is Nora Roberts. I like the kinda paranormal romance thing she does. I've tried reading her JD Robb series and just couldn't get into it.
Thank you for the suggestions. I will add these to my list.
Your hair looks great up and the red nails suit you well.
Thank you!
That’s hilarious. I live in Cork, Ireland. And yes, Skibbereen is a real place. And it’s really lovely. I must find this series of books. Funny that it’s a recommendation from an American vlogger! I’ve never heard of this series.
Marnie I’m so excited you shared this! I too am a huge reader and was also a last hold out for a kindle and got it for same reasons lol
Reading in bed is how I settle every night and have since a young child. Oh Nancy Drew:)
I do still love to buy and hold a physical book every now and again - mostly in the summer for some reason.
I read everything but especially love a good mystery also and can’t wait to check out some of these recommendations:)
Have you ever read any of the Anne Perry mysteries.? Set in England in early 1800’s. I especially love the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt series and will often re-read them. There are TONS of them:)
And I LOVE the Outlander series and will often re-read those as well. And every summer I re-read Pride and Prejudice.
My favourite kind of day is having no plans or commitments and curling up with a good book or 2 or 3 lol
Have you read The Wife Between Us or The Woman in the Window? Couldn’t put the down and full of good twists
Thank you again so much for sharing this - loved it ! 👍💕

Hi there, loved this video 💜 I would also recommend Sarah Addison Allen books. They are similar (sort of) to the books you mentioned you liked.
Love hearing about great books! Have you read the Mitford series books by Jan Karon? They are based on a small town in the mountains of NC.
