The last...crustacean...I had a very different picture in my head of what that book was going to be about... and honestly I think I'm a little bit disappointed that it's not about a horseshoe crab.

[@alexandraroselyn]

I DIDNT EVEN REALIZE THATS NOT THE TITLE OMGGGG 😭😭😭😂😂😂nooooooo

[@NoelleGallagher]

can we read The Villa together omg 🍋

[@alexandraroselyn]

Omg I would LOVEEE to!!

LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY: the uk cover is gorgeous under the dust jacket. It’s just a huge colorful periodic table! (Still watching in case this gets brought up momentarily)

[@aamnahere6250]

You're such a warm person whose energy is so positive and infectious. Your videos brighten up my day. I ended up reading one of your recommendations called 'Some Kind of Happiness' by Claire Legrand and loved it.

[@alexandraroselyn]

Omg Aamna what an incredibly sweet thing to say thank you so much!!❤❤

Am I going crazy or did she call it The Last Crustacean instead of The Last Cuentista 😂 so funny! PS loved the video!!!

[@alexandraroselyn]

You’re not imagining it 😭😭😭 omg WHY DID I DO THAT?!?!

@@alexandraroselyn lol!!! Hey girl, no worries! We knew what you meant 😂 Thanks for the reply!

[@amandadelaney4789]

I have NOT seen a single Booktuber/BookToker pick up the Last Cuentista! I read it last year and it fell into my favorites. It really brings an emphasis on how important it is to remember stories and have them in our lives. Also you got the Stolen Heir! I haven't read it yet, but I'm super excited. Happy reading!

[@jessicawas3003]

My friend gifted it to me for my birthday last year! Still haven’t read it yet though 😬

[@fa3ryg1rl1]

Does the Emily Wilde book have a dust jacket or is that beautiful art printed right on the hardback?

[@caseypeters2974]

I also LOVE the smell and feel of holding a book and turning the pages. Love your channel and your enthusiasm. ⭐

I'm OBSESSED with the Veronica Speedwell series and highly recommend the audiobooks. A Curious Beginning is actually my least favourite - I think the books just keep getting better as the series goes on!

[@bobbiejohns-ennis623]

Love this , felt like I was shopping with you 👍

[@janetnicole377]

Seven Days in June is a gem! Perfect for Valentine's Day!

Seven days in June was my first 5 star read of 2023! It was so good.

[@alexandraroselyn]

Omg love hearing that!!!

[@zydecope9160]

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow is amazing! I’ve been in a reading slump since the holidays and it’s the first book to make me actually feel again. Hope you enjoy it and looking forward to checking out the rest of your reading recs from the library.

[@alexandraroselyn]

I love hearing that!!! I’m even more excited now to pick it up!! 😊❤

[@JulEnglefaris]

Just read Our Wives Under the Sea. Some of the best writing ever. Great story

[@isabellavalentine7268]

Your McKay's looks so much better than ours! It doesn't have the updated logo yet! And it is better organized!

[@m2deloria]

Lost in the Moment and Found is my new favorite in the series, and my most recent purchase.

Love this vlog Lexi! Not going to lie I did have a small giggle and had to rewind when you said The Last Crustacean at 12:13 🙊

[@alexandraroselyn]

Omg I know lol lol. I started getting all of these comments saying the title and I was like “what??” And then I looked it up and was like “GIRL YOU DID NOT JUST CALL IT THE LAST CRUSTACEAN ON KZbin DOT COM NOOOO” hahahahah

[@gailm.8190]

LOL!! I had to replay it as I thought my ears were deceiving me!! 😊❤📚☕️

[@alexandraroselyn]

I thought it was so good!! Hope you end up liking it Katie!! 😊

[@megs_bookrack]

Such a fun vlog! I definitely recommend reading EMILY WILDE'S in the winter months if you can. I know you mentioned possibly reading it in the summer, but cold/snow, etc., are such a big part of the story. It's fun to read when it is cold out and you are snuggled inside. So incredible cozy!!!

Because of this video and since finding your channel I have purchased Babel, Book Lovers, Lessons in Chemistry, My Best Friend's Exorcism, and Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries. So, some might say a nice little selection however, I HAVE NOT PURCHASED A PHYSICAL BOOK IN 10 YEARS!!!!! I guess I forgot how much I missed having a book in my hand! That being said, this book haul will be my last for another 10. Thanks for the fun videos. I will keep watching but only downloading. 🌠

My last book purchase was tonight at B&N, a middle grade, Wretched Waterpark by Kiersten White. It was 50% off and looked so cute. I think it's summer themed so I'm waiting to read it then. Not a personal purchase, I requested my library buy it and they called me this morning to say that Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries was ready for me to pick up. So excited! I hope to finish my current read tonight so I can jump into it tomorrow...er, it's after midnight so I guess I mean later today.

Question: are independent authors or "indie" books not available at certain bookstores? I'm having the hardest time trying to find Anastasia by Sophie Lark, The Clockwork Girl by Anna Mazzola, and Pandora by Susan Stokes Chapman. Not even my local library or the local "small" bookstores have these novels.

would you recommend rereading Ninth House first or just going into Hell Bent?? I can't decide!

I’m curious about this too! I’m interested in Hell Bent but haven’t read Ninth House.

[@summerkerr6098]

@@GodtaughtKendra You definitely need to read Ninth House first to understand the world building and back story. Plus there’s a cliff hanger that the plot of Hell Bent focuses on. Ninth House can be a bit confusing at first, but once you build an understanding it becomes more enjoyable!
