Not sure if you noticed, but Theo, the therapist in The Silent Patient, makes a brief appearance in The Maidens. He was a classmate of Mariana’s and pops up in the last half of the book. She, in fact, recommends that he apply for the position at the Grove.
@@alexandraroselyn 😂That is the best part of baking for sure and every time I watch you eating something you’ve baked😒I’m jealous because I want some too😀😂😂😂
YES TO ALL OF YOUR POINTS ABOUT THE GUESTLIST UGHHHH!!! I nearly DNF'd it too for the exact same reason. Lucy Foley is just that good of an author to stir those kinds of emotions in readers about her characters lol I HIGHLYYYYY recommend reading the ending though, especially if you liked the ending of The Silent Patient 👀 ps. loved your hair and your top during your review of The Guestlist 🔥
I just ran into your channel and I really enjoy watching your videos. I was in a reading slump of a life time and you've helped me come out of it. It so happens you reviewed or spoken about a lot of the books on my list of books to read. Thank you for having such great taste in books.
Can’t wait for spooky season! I love love love your videos/vibe in the fall! Please do a spooky/thriller recommendation video soon so I can prepare! Your recommendations are always amazing!👻
Love your energy in your videos! 😀 Always makes me want to grab a coffee and baked good and do some good reading. Had problems getting through What Big Teeth too, but glad you were able to finish it.
Oh my gosh, I’m so late to this vlog, I didn’t know you participated in Summerween and I’m so so happy to see this vlog! I’m obsessed with the way you edited this 😍😍😍 so inspiring and so cool!! Great music and vibes, and I just love your energy so much 😌💞
I had similar feelings about The Silent Patient. It wasn’t a particularly striking piece of prose but he got me with the end so I felt like it deserved that 5th star!
When you're mindlessly scrolling TH-cam and refresh to see a new Lexi vlog. Audible excitement... also I was on vacation recently and went through Chattanooga and apparently, there is a cat lounge there called Naughty Cat Cafe where you hang out in a lounge with cats. What a world.
Hii Lexi ! Can I say that you are the best booktuber everr because I love your book recommendations especially your middle grade ones ! Can you please do a " best trilogies" series ?? I would love to see it !! ❤
Your vlogs are always so much fun and this was no exception! And a mini book shopping excursion too 💜I recommend Karin Slaughter’s book Pretty Girls :)
I loved Hamnet, I was going to get you the UK hardback last year because it's GORGEOUS, but couldn't find it on Blackwells and Waterstones said they don't ship to PO boxes :( I hope you'll enjoy, I couldn't put it down when I read it! Also I love book sleeves, but I've mainly been using book jackets as I've been home a lot and didn't need to transport my books - book jackets are great to protect them at home whilst you're reading!
If you’re looking for thrillers, I can’t recommend Shari Lapena’s books enough! They are so fast-paced that you will read them in a sitting! So so good! As always, loved your video!
As a major Halloween fan, I'm so happy to have discovered Summerween (New to Booktube and Goodreads)! I will do it even though I'm late, thriller, true crime and horror being my favourite genres! Lived the editing- was worth the wait! ❤️ Looking forward to your next video!!! 🤗

I've been in such a fall mood since watching all the Summerween vlogs! I absolutely need to check out the Greek myths books by Stephen Fry. They look so pretty and I'm a sucker for all things Greek mythology 😅
I loved this Vlog and especially your special effects for Summerween! I have read "The Wives" and "The Guest List" and I agree with your critique of both. I am now excited to try "The Girls I've Been" on your enthusiastic recommendation! I love your channel, it makes my day when I see a new one come up!
This was so fun to watch! Loved the pacing and how you shared the week with is , entertaining & filled with great book descriptions. I admit I will now never read The Wives.
I love your hair when its curly/wavy! your beautiful love!:) I literally be waiting all week for your videos, your the best! i think it’s because your energy and positivity matches with mine! 🙏🏽🥰
I was hoping I would love The Guest List but I DNFed it for the exact same reason as you. I haven't read The Hunting Party though, I think it means I have to try it now!
I agree with you about The Guest List's group of crude guys.. they are the exact kind of people who if you see on the street, as a female I'm making a U-turn ASAP! I did end up finishing the book anyway and it was only okay.. so be assured you didn't miss out on anything major! Loved this vlog btw watching before my exam to get some serotonin omg 💞
What an amazing video and that editing at the beginning was just brilliant! You're an absolute star 🌠 Lexi and I adore all of your videos. Thank you for making me smile this afternoon and the "hotter than Hades," made me giggle so much and the food content is just dreams. Can't wait for another video, lots of bookish hugs 🤗 x
I also DNFed The Guest List a while back and thought maybe I should try again because everyone else seems to love it. I’m glad to see I wasn’t the only one. I did, however, love The Wives. I even loved the ending! You should give The Arrangement by Kiersten Modglin a try. I’d love to see your opinion on it. 👻
I love when your vlogs include a baking element in them 😊 2 thrillers I enjoyed recently were His and Hers by Alice Feeney and Girl, 11 by Amy Suiter Clarke. I listened to both of them and highly recommend the audiobooks for both!
My level of Summerween participation falls somewhere between The Nightbooks, The Mulberry Tree and Frost Hollow Hall however... Let's just talk about how on point this video is even if the titles alone would scare me for life!!! Lol! Well done, Lexi!! 💕
Ahhh, yes! The pairing of Mrs. Dolloway & The Hours is something that I want to do too! I saw the movie ofThe Hours when I was younger…so now I need to read the book. I didn’t like the characters in The Guest List either. 😂😂😂 I finished it…but I liked The Hunting Party better too. I know it sounds funny to say about a thriller…but The Guest List was a bit too dark for me because of the characters & situations. I think it’s because it was a wedding atmosphere…but it was depressing to see this couple try to get married & these people come together. I like how she writes the multiple perspectives & the build up with her timelines tho. I’ve been wanting to read The Wives. It gets such mixed reviews so I wonder where I will fall. Well, I hope you’re having a Happy day! ☺️✨✨ I love you! 🥰🥰🥰 Happy Reading 🤓📚✨
I'm a retired elementary teacher. Teaching online drove me into retirement...but 40 yrs in the classroom was enough! I think your videos are so entertaining and funny! I subscribed and look forward to watching your videos. 🥰
That’s interesting your opinion on The Guest List, I listened to it as an audiobook and enjoyed it. I agree with you though, I did not like the characters and felt very similar to you. As it continued though, I found some of the twists intriguing and ended up being able to finish it. The plot twist was rather good at the end!
Not sure if you noticed, but Theo, the therapist in The Silent Patient, makes a brief appearance in The Maidens. He was a classmate of Mariana’s and pops up in the last half of the book. She, in fact, recommends that he apply for the position at the Grove.
Yes!!! I noticed that actually before I even read The Silent Patient just because I knew the general premise and I LOVEEEDD that Easter egg!!!
So happy you like the booksleeves! Enjoy love! I had so much fun making them this Summerween!
I loved them too!! Rushed over to buy a couple but they’re sold out. Please tell me you’re making more soon!!?!!
Thank you so much for sending them Rachel!! You have so much talent and I love them so much!!!❤️
I have to get me some 😍😍
Finally. Another person who didn’t care for The Guest List. Cute vlog. And got a cool rec from you too! Yay
oh yay!! I'm so glad you found a book rec! And yeah...I wanted to love it but it just wasn't for me 😞
Also I love how you make all of your desserts from scratch. I wasn’t expecting that but I love it
i refuse to acknowledge that this level of editing exists...that intro was so cool!!!😱👻🖤
Omg thank you so much!😭❤️❤️💕💕💕
I love B.A. Paris books. Behind Closed Doors, the last sentence sent chills down my spine! A tiny detail, but spoke volumes!
I loved that book! written so simply yet so deep
Aww thank you! And omg I love that book!!!
It's literally 4am here in the Philippines but I was so thrilled to see you againnnn. I mean 40mins of lexi talking????? who could resisttttt?? 👻👻👻👻
awww thank you so much
I love it when you bake in your vlogs 😀 The atmosphere it creates is just spot on in my opinion 🥰
aw thank you Beth :) I like it when I bake too because then I GET TO EAT IT! Hahaha!
@@alexandraroselyn 😂That is the best part of baking for sure and every time I watch you eating something you’ve baked😒I’m jealous because I want some too😀😂😂😂
I’m so glad you decided to take your time with the editing of this vlog! It really paid off! Your talents are literally unmatched.
awww thank you so much Margo! :)
YESSSS I’m so glad I’m not the only one who’s feeling spooky in the middle of July!
YES TO ALL OF YOUR POINTS ABOUT THE GUESTLIST UGHHHH!!! I nearly DNF'd it too for the exact same reason.

I always enjoys watching your reading vlog because you always having fun and always have a beautiful smile on your face.
I wish I had dnfed The Guest List. That was a 2 star read for sure.
I'm so glad it sounds like I wasn't the only one who didn't like it!!
1 star from me!
I had similar feelings about The Silent Patient. It wasn’t a particularly striking piece of prose but he got me with the end so I felt like it deserved that 5th star!
Yes that twist was AMAZING!!
Love this beginning on ye olde 📺. Aren’t we over summer already and just bring on the Fall? I feel thee 😊
whaaaaaat!?! the guest list is the BEST.
Read When We’re villains. You have to love Shakespeare but it’s amazing!!
@Mam Jallow omg I love that you knew this!!!!
When you're mindlessly scrolling TH-cam and refresh to see a new Lexi vlog. Audible excitement... also I was on vacation recently and went through Chattanooga and apparently, there is a cat lounge there called Naughty Cat Cafe where you hang out in a lounge with cats. What a world.

Your editing skills are absolutely incredible. I’m in awe of your talent!
omgsh that's so kind of you thank you so much!!
The start of your video was EPIC!!! Laughed aloud and so hard. I also find the Strawberry Funnel Cake Fraps very addictive. Excellent video 🎃!
That intro is so cool!!!!!!
All of them are on my tbr!!!!
Yay! Someone else is ready for Fall!
If you’re looking for thrillers, I can’t recommend Shari Lapena’s books enough! They are so fast-paced that you will read them in a sitting! So so good! As always, loved your video!
I love your curly hair! So pretty on you!

One of my favorite videos from you!!!! Your so talented and entertaining! Love your channel. Love summerween 👻

I agree with you about The Guest List's group of crude guys.. they are the exact kind of people who if you see on the street, as a female I'm making a U-turn ASAP! I did end up finishing the book anyway and it was only okay.. so be assured you didn't miss out on anything major!
Loved this vlog btw watching before my exam to get some serotonin omg 💞

So giddy when I saw that you were reading two of the books I’ve read already ❤️ I hope you enjoyed The Silent Patient and The Wives
The editing is so coollll. Omg how did u read such a book in the dark. I COULD NEVER 👻👻👻
My thoughts exactly on The Guest List!!
Just came here to scream about how good Hamnet is. HAMNET IS SO GOOD!!!! I absolutely devoured it
i have always loved your halloween intro music
I was just about to watch Halloween town cause I was craving fall vibes! Thankyou for all of these suggestions
omg NOW I WANT TO WATCH HALLOWEEN TOWN😩
I felt the same about the guest list !
Hi Lexie! I grew up in the Midwest, and it can get nasty hot out there. Keep up the awesome work!
I just discovered your youtube channel and I love it !♥️
All the girl i’ve been and the silent patient seems really good !
aw thank you! And yay I'm so glad you're here!! We love reader friends in this house :)
What an amazing video and that editing at the beginning was just brilliant! You're an absolute star 🌠 Lexi and I adore all of your videos.

Lexy, I looove your curls😍you look so pretty!😊💕
Always love your vlogs!! This was awesome! 👻
aw thank you so much!
Love the curly hair! Also, I dnf’d The Guest List after about 15 minutes of the audiobook 😐 I feel ya!
aw thank you!
This editing😍😍top notch girl
Also you’re absolutely right, Rachel at Happy Go Lovely is so nice and amazing.
and so talented!!
I also DNFed The Guest List a while back and thought maybe I should try again because everyone else seems to love it. I’m glad to see I wasn’t the only one. I did, however, love The Wives. I even loved the ending!
You should give The Arrangement by Kiersten Modglin a try. I’d love to see your opinion on it. 👻
oooo thank you for the suggestion!! I'll go ahead and look that one up!
I was waiting for this with so much enthusiasm that I am watching it when I should be doing my project due tomorrow. Chill only a lil bit is left ❤️✨
I hope your project went okayyyy
I would recommend listening to the audible version of mythos instead of reading it!!! It’s so worth it and Stephen Fry is an amazing narrator :)
Yes! I've heard the audiobook is amazing I'm planning on listening to it while I read along! Thank you for the suggestion :)
I love when your vlogs include a baking element in them 😊 2 thrillers I enjoyed recently were His and Hers by Alice Feeney and Girl, 11 by Amy Suiter Clarke. I listened to both of them and highly recommend the audiobooks for both!
i love watching your videos, you are cute, funny and lovely. among all the booktubers i watched so far, i enjoy your video the best
OMG! Mythos!! 😍😍 The audiobook is the best! ☺️
The coffee cake looks so good! Can you share the recipe?
I don't like thrillers or horror anything but I love watching your summerween vlogs because of the fall feels so thanks for that! 👻
I feel you! I'm still on the fence about horror - it's pretty scary!!
My level of Summerween participation falls somewhere between The Nightbooks, The Mulberry Tree and Frost Hollow Hall however...
Let's just talk about how on point this video is even if the titles alone would scare me for life!!! Lol! Well done, Lexi!! 💕

Hi Autumn!! Thank you for always leaving me such lovely comments
Off topic but I just read Malibu Rising and I loved it. I read it in one day which I haven't done in years. Can't wait to finally read Evelyn Hugo!
Editing QUEEN!!! Much awaited vlog here😍😍😍 love the shirt at the beginning ❤️
thank you
This was really fun!!! I created my own Spooky Summer TBR as well!!! 👻👻👻
I have never been this early!!
lots of love
I'm a retired elementary teacher. Teaching online drove me into retirement...but 40 yrs in the classroom was enough! I think your videos are so entertaining and funny! I subscribed and look forward to watching your videos. 🥰
I can’t wait to participate in this next year! I didn’t know about it until it was over 😩
oh bummer!! I think there is actually going to be a version of this in October as well!!! If you want to participate in that you totally should!!
Lexie, Daughters of Sparta was SO GOOD!!! I was shocked, it's my new favourite Greek mythology book!
Hi Lexi! I highly highly recommend the audiobooks for all the Stephen Fry books!! They’re soooo good and I think you’ll really enjoy them! 👻
That’s interesting your opinion on The Guest List, I listened to it as an audiobook and enjoyed it. I agree with you though, I did not like the characters and felt very similar to you. As it continued though, I found some of the twists intriguing and ended up being able to finish it. The plot twist was rather good at the end!
I hope the book sequel after the guest list will be good.
Wow the intro with the tv! It alone deserves a like!😯🎉 I definately want to check out The girls l've been! It sounds really good!
One of my favorite thrillers is "Room service." It is very well done and I loved it!!!!
oooooo I'll look it up thank you! :)
Who is the author? Is it YA thriller or more adult/ paranormal thriller?
I'm here with you muted knowing that I need to read this book and come back quickly cause I wanna know what you said
aaaaa I do looove Lexi's lenghty vlog🥰🥰
When they see books -
People - Fountain of Knowledge, carrier of secrets, guider of life 🌟🧠♥️
Lexi- WEAPON!!! 👁️👄👁️
Hahahahahahahaha!
When it’s only been 8 minutes and you’ve already bought one of the recommendations 😂💛
We love to see it❤️
If you’re looking for a thriller, I highly recommend None Shall Sleep. It’s Mindhunter meets Silence of the Lambs - but for teens! Its sooo good 👻
