[@juliebyrnes_]

Tiny pretty things was a netflix series - they only did 1 season but def watch after u read! ❤

[@lightscamerasashley.]

it's almost always summer here in texas, but I still appreciate these recs 💞

[@sydneyrankin6717]

the show tiny pretty things was so good but was cancelled after one season with a huge cliffhanger😭so excited to know there’s a book!!

[@lucyannel1764]

You should do a book rec video dedicated to dark academia/academia. I haven't read many but I really want to and I'm not sure where to start!

[@brendachaves6375]

I love your hair Rachel

[@maariyahsacha]

[@charlottecusson6838]

I think I'll read some of those even if it's about to be scorching here. I hope you enjoyed your summer! ;) (Also the hair is AMAZING)

[@zoegilbert7761]

Second first impressions is so underrated 🥹

[@FroggiBao]

Emily Wildes Encyclopaedia Of Faeries is my absolute favourite book 🩵

[@hannahchain]

I’m definitely going to check out “second first impressions “ by sally thorne bc I’m definitely a home body girl and I work in aged care myself so I feel like it will be a fun relatable read! 😂❤

[@analuzanoni]

I love the southern hemisphere representation

[@MerkMill]

This is crazy but I’ve been trying to figure out who you look like in my life since I’ve been watching you and then you dyed your hair brown and omg, you look exactly like my high school best friend. Love the change!

[@RachelCatherine]

Hahahah that’s so crazy!!

[@marynbooks0622]

Omg I love the new hair! - US girly :)

[@RachelCatherine]

[@RachelCatherine]

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Hi Rachel happy Thursday night and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

[@Indyvdg]

lol i love this video, here in the Netherlands however we are having a heatwave this weekend😂 still thanks for the winter recommendations because I feel like people always only recommend summer and spring books😅

[@brisa4950]

i was reading Emily Wildes book and i dunno why i was picturing cardan as wendell and even like the fantasy world reminded me of the cruel prince a tad bit but, it was slower paced and i swearrrr anytime wendell said something i was like "I LOVE HIM" then when he would make another appearance i would start singing that one tiktok song "im on my way to see my husband... im happy im happy!" thank u for the rec! normally would've waited for fall but C.A has been mega gloomy so i was like might as well

[@sereneadair4941]

Wow--at first I thought I had the wrong channel, looks great!

[@jankagura7732]

I live in Hungary, it's summer, but I still need to watch this lol 💗

[@olgamercado89]

I live in Miami, Florida. It feel like summer year round haha but I still watched this video.

[@isaura5915]

Is it summer where I live: Yes. Do I care and still watch: no :))

[@Itsareaders_life]

Honestly same x

[@parisstardust111]

I thought I clicked on a random girls book video but then I was like wait that’s Rachel Catherine, I love the new brunette do

[@thais1177]

THE BLONDE HAIR IS GONE!!! I saw your video on my feed and I outright said “ooooh is this a new booktuber?” 😭 Love it though

[@eve648]

One For My Enemy is AMAZING oh my god u need to read it

[@brunnasnow5751]

Is winter here in Brazil too, I definetely going to read those

[@tayler2957]

Love the hair!! I thought you were Sara Carrolli at first glance!🤦🏼‍♀️ lmao

[@MSPUnbekannte]

I started Ninth House and dnf‘d it for now.. it is really hard to get into because there are so many characters from the start and switches timelines a lot. I hope I can get into it some other time.

[@mariamadrigal5587]

I was so confused when I seen the title then I remembered you aren’t in the U.S. btw your hair suits you so well 🥰

[@kaysbookshelf]

Us aussies are freezzinnggg

[@iammellbell]

I'm team read more historical fiction! 😍

[@sophiecarrington5742]

Where is your vest from?!

[@sn.2517]

You should read Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross! Just finished it and thoroughly enjoyed

[@meowmeow2963]

I can't find Last time we met here in the Philippines and I badly want to read it! :(

[@tomie1308]

me watching and nodding along in my 98 F temperature

[@kelseygaines9996]

I was so confused as to why it said winter until I remembered when it’s summer in America it winter over there

[@Sunnyocean648]

I was so confused that this is recent, but I get it bc you live in Aussie 😂

[@JohnSaxon-vw5vi]

Hey I am no girly lol 😂 😂😂😂 another five stars ⭐️ video love your Geelong family friend John ❤❤❤

[@ashscoffees-oc7ly]

can you please do books for pride month, maybe a few books for the different lgbtqia letters :)

[@sarahb208]

The tiny pretty things tv show is absolutely nothing like the book , they changed some many things. it's a really interesting the book. I seriously need to read the 2nd book. Tiny pretty things gives gossip girl vibes and also pretty little liar vibes.

[@katherinestevens3335]

Have you heard of zodiac academy, it gives the same vibes as a deadly education. You have zodiac signs, magical creatures, the elements and the characters relationships suck you in. Definitely look into it but I might warn you there’s ten books with another one coming soon. There free on kindle unlimited but I personally love them on audiobooks.

[@JulEnglefaris]

I DNFed Ninth House after like 2 chapters, it was too gorey and gruesome and I was kinda sickened. Just why?? For Brando Sando.... I wouldn't start with Warbreaker lol I really like his Straight series

[@AliceGama]

*SCREAMS IN BRAZILIAN*

[@maisenf]

first omg!

[@BookNerdQueen]

It’s wild to me that you’re going into winter

[@myad.5618]

Technically fall right now

[@livycoleman8386]

[@haileyposton2158]
