have you read nickel boys? it's about another group of boys at that reformatory... i liked this book and i concur im side eyeing those who didn't get it...😂

You should listen to the audiobook of the Waterdancer! Papa Pope narrates and its beautiful!

💛

Love your sweatshirt! I really didn’t like short stories until I found California Cooper. She was a great writer.

💛💛 officially persuaded to read The Reformatory in 2025. Hope you have a Merry Christmas! 🎄

Ah! daughter of the merciful deep has been on my TBR since you first mentioned it. Just the historical aspect of the book had me sold. The reformatory is on my TBR for next Halloween! I really enjoyed watching this video. Thanks!

💛

I recently bought the Reformatory but I haven't started reading it yet. Planning to start it while on PTO this week. Now you really have me looking forward to it! 😊

Adding to my tbr.

No side eyeing me over here because I agree with you 100% about the Reformatory. You’re one of the reasons o even wanted to pick it up!! Name your baby Gloria Robbie in honor of it😂😂 You’re making me want to try out a few of the other mentions in this video. This year is my year of stepping out of my comfort zone so I’ve been taking notes from you for the last few months. Great video Sis… Merry Christmas 💛

14:58 lmao I was getting so worried bc I’m like there’s no way you’re not going to mention the reformatory. That book was amazing

💛💛💛

I own all 3 books of Children of Blood and Bones because the covers are stunning.

I remember watching your review of the Children series & how disappointed you were. It’s been a TBR of mine for a while & I plan to read it next year. I also want to read When The Moon Hatched, but whew she thick! 😁💛💛💛

I’m reading Children of Anguish and Anarchy now. I’m not even half way through and I’m disappointed. Daughter of the Merciful Deep is on my list to read but I haven’t bought it yet because I have too many books 😂 You’re the only BookTuber I know of that’s talked about this book. The Reformatory wasn’t my favorite book of the year (that title goes to James by Percival Everett) but it was a 5 ⭐️ read for me.

Could we see the new room

Read all of J. Cailiforinia Cooper. Excellent

I agree about the Children of the Born series. Book 3 was disappointing and couldn't finish it. The only reason I will keep the series is due to the book covers.

Merry Christmas ❄️❄️❄️

Babe I hear you talking about them books but I can’t focus because your hair is LAID! So Lucious I love 💕

Thank you this thorough review. My goodreads bookshelf has grown exponentially 😊

📋 Thank you for this list.

I am not really a romance girlie but I'm going to give your romance recs a try. You didn't steer me wrong with historical fiction books.

cool recs! also your hair is popping!

💖

I enjoyed the Neighbor Favor. You've given me some more books to checkout. 💙

And we appreciate the vibes.

I loved the kiss countdown! It’s one of the few times I didn’t mind not having a dual pov.

I read and enjoyed many of the books you mentioned. I need to read ,"No Ordinary Love." My favorite romance books i read this year are, "Out of Office, " by A.H. Cunningham and, " Never Cross a Highlander, " by Lisa Rayne.💜💜💜

Added each of these to my TBR list!... anyone else miss the days of black expressions? Lol I may be telling my age lol but I just miss getting tons of books at a cheaper price 😅

To future me (If I ever read this): Ella (Fitzgerald) and Miles (Davis) But another name would have been better. Lol

I'm noticing a trend of romance novels giving the exes too much daggone energy!!

The Partner Plot was a fantastic love story. A Love Song for Rickie Wilde was my top romance story.

I can’t wait to give all of these books a try. They will be starting off my Romance list for 2025! Thanks as always!! 🥰

💕💕

👸🏾👸🏾 The Queen’s Spade sounds soooo good!

Can we get a video on you top 5 star reads for 2024? Pretty plssss ❤ I seem to have the same reading interests as you and I’d love to know what books got your highest praise and rating no matter the genre. 😊

I've placed all of these on my TBR... My favorite romance for 2024 was Queen Charlote

I started the Du Bell series because of your vlog a few months ago and I loved it!

Every last one of these books are on my TBR, but I plan to start Aphrodite and the Duke next month! ❤
