[@chandlergardner7531]

The will of the many!! I’ve heard so many good things about it. I also just finished Curious Tides and it was sooo good ☕️

[@ReadingNymph]

☕️ the nonfiction books on space and time sound fascinating! Im going to be reading The Raven and the Reindeer in December 😊

[@jessicaallard9453]

Love this video! Can't wait to read Don't let the Forest in! ☕☕☕

[@heathercohenchapple9520]

[@theresawalker1166]

☕️ I want to read Starling House, then switch over to some Christmas books. I like to read A Christmas Carol, and Oliver Twist just before Christmas.

[@Rozenaut]

The One Dark Window duology was one of my favorites from t he last couple years

[@udishaverma7862]

Waittt whaatttt, i just opened youtube, and there it's in front of me!!!! surprise surprise! Before the end of the year I want to read.... a lot of books, the Narnia series, and shady hollow, the dellurgut dream department store, a winters promise, divine rivals. ☕

[@Gracieroseyxox]

I have read shady hollow and it’s a sweet mystery. I hope you enjoy it ! 😊

[@udishaverma7862]

@Gracieroseyxox Ooooh Thankyou 😍

[@emmakgill]

I have read and loved so many of these! Shady Hollow, Divine Rivals, and the Chronicles of Narnia are all fantastic. A Winter's Promise is also on my TBR, so here's to hoping we both get around to it soon.

[@udishaverma7862]

@@emmakgill 😍 oh yesss, i can't wait to read it, just looking for the "right" time 😭

[@alexandraroselyn]

oh I love that TBR!!!!!

[@paperpagespossibilities]

House of Frank was a beautiful story, absolutely has the cozy and found family vibes. Those vibes make the grief that Saika has to work through a heartwarming feel.

[@alexandraroselyn]

oh gosh!! I'm even more excited to read it now yay!!

[@elise.thebookworm]

The one book I really want to get to this year is To Kill A Mockingbird. I have been meaning to read it for about 3 years now so this year I really want to get it off my TBR. Only problem is you just gave me a bunch of new books to add to it 😂

[@alexandraroselyn]

oooo Ive never read it but I've heard that book is soooo good. And hahahaha I'm sorry!!

[@delaneyjewel]

I love The Order of Time. It has a poetry to it that’s very accessible. I read it years ago and think about it all the time

[@aamnahere6250]

This video is right on time. I was just in the mood for enjoying a cosy and fun video of yours with my big mug of tea and chocolate and an endless appetite for books. Your videos are definitely a big source of comfort and joy on KZbin. Keep shining bright!

[@alexandraroselyn]

Oh yay!!!! Thank you so much that's so kind of you!

[@sabinemetscher6449]

Thank you, Lexi ☕️Don’t let the Forest In, sounds like a good one📚

[@alexandraroselyn]

I loved it! I hope you like it too Sabine! 😊

[@Yasmina_a]

One Dark Window is a great book! I never saw a magic system like the one in this story. I enjoyed the duology so much! Thank you for your video ^^

[@creativewithjia]

The Secret History is the one book I wish to finally get to this year 😊

[@FaeryLaume]

me too!

[@alexandraroselyn]

I loved that one!!!

[@TheGardenBindery]

One dark window has such a cool magic system, I think you'll love it

[@alexandraroselyn]

It seems so cool!!

[@kristi4439]

The House of Frank was one of my favorite reads of the year!

[@alexandraroselyn]

Oh yay!! I keep hearing amazing things about it!!

[@beautifulmama862]

This year is just flying by so fast ❤❤❤❤ I absolutely love your videos 😊

[@Windkandi]

☕️ My number one to read is ’Where the library hides’ by Isabel Ibañez. I loved the first book in the duology, ’What the river knows’, so I am re-reading that now, and will then move on to the new book!

[@tim_terror]

☕️ One of the books I’ve been DESPERATE to read & will start tomorrow is „Emily Wildes encyclopaedia of fairies“. I heard it had winter vibes, so I am excited!

[@sarahwhite4227]

Blood over bright haven is fantastic! Read it while it was still an indie book. Would recommend it to everyone.

[@karlag8312]

☕ I have so many books that I want to read, cannot decide LOL

[@alexandraroselyn]

OKAY SAME THOUGH!!

[@gabbyreads]

I’ve never heard of Don’t Let the Forest In, but it sounds so good 👀

[@theredheadedheathen7615]

Seeing your tbr gives me confidence that I can finish my very short tbr by the end of the year 😆 💜

[@alexandraroselyn]

hahaha well.... we'll see how many books I actually get to lol

[@katekc100]

One Dark Window is sooo good!!

[@Kandacehine]

Dinner for vampires was amazing! ❤ Pulled on my heart strings because I have had emotional and mental abuse in my past and I could relate to her in a way.

[@danireader2087]

Malice House was so good. A slow burn but I loved it. And it’s sequel is sooooo good.

[@lisadw499]

Another fun video. ☕️

[@jenniferfink1728]

Love your book recommendations! ☕️ I’m determined to read Nettle and Bone before the end of the year. It’s been on my TBR list since you first reviewed it, so it’s been a while. 😅

[@courtneyalysan4925]

I was so happy to see you posted today! Just adore you 💞

[@courtneys3320]

I am LOVING don’t let the forest in. I’m reading it now and already know it’ll be a 5 star. Also… you are going to love one dark window. It’s so good!!!

[@marinaleah5271]

Hi Lexi, I really enjoyed your video! On a day where it's gloomy outside and I'm feeling a bit under the weather, it brought so much comfort! I think you have such an interesting array of book genres and I can't wait to hear your thoughts on them! I'm looking forward to finally reading Percy Jackson the Chalice of the Gods since the second book is out and I NEED to get up to date with seaweed brain's shenanigans 😂😂☕☕

[@AnnaDeponte6298]

I loved the “Midnight Library “ when I read it . ☕️. I already read the book I wanted to read . I read books 1-4 for the Harry potter series .

[@goldeemabulay9052]

The perfect way to start my afternoon/evening after work!! Yay!! I will check out some of these titles. And oh! I absolutely loved One Dark Window!! And the sequel, too! ☕️

[@mollyjaybooks]

☕️ Ooh I don't have just 1 book but a few so I'm just going to say Christmas/wintery books! 😆

[@Samantha042597]

☕️ I’ve got to get to Lost and Lassoed before the end of the year 🤠❤

[@paperbacksgalore]

my #1 book I want to read this year is The Bear and the Nightingale! I’m kind of waiting for the first snow of the year to start it (:

[@krisprepolec5616]

I am most excited to get to Somewhere Beyond the Sea by TJ Klune. ☕️

[@irhonda31]

☕️Wow, that is an ambitious list! Good luck!

[@WonderKitty24]

I have Don’t Let The Forest In currently checked out! I can’t wait!

[@alliecarter9476]

I want to read a few more cozy fantasy books before the end of the year. Legends and lattes is first on the list ☕️

[@_ashleylh]

I read it last year, but I am currently reading it for a second time. I just need that comfort right now. Hope you enjoy it!

[@hoodys]

@@_ashleylhdoing the same thing right now. need a little peace and comfort

[@joannievh2071]

Mmmmm. Don't expect to be finishing anything until the end of the year. Am way to be busy reading about my pregnancy to read any novel, sadly. But will still watch your videos to add to my TBR! 😂 ☕

[@rachelmcdonald6092]

Must read the first in the Mistborn trilogy. ☕

[@earthlover999]

Thank you! ☕️❤

[@udishaverma7862]

YESSSS PLEASE DO READ STARLING HOUSE! one of my fav books of all time, my home.

[@jenniferburnett1562]

☕️ I love Matt Haig, this video has a lot of good recommendations on it!

[@lauraa1345]

I hope you get to read all the vooks from your tbr, Lexi! It sounds like you have a big veriety ☕🥰

[@wonderlandjournal]

☕️ so many added to my tbr!

[@beckyduff]

☕📚 I have been reading so slowly lately & there's still so many books I want to get to before the end of the year. I am really hoping to get to Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone.

[@JohnSaxon-vw5vi]

Beautiful and amazing work lovely young lady love 🥰 it xxx thanks so much for sharing your amazing books ❤❤❤

[@lexislibrary923]

I want to finish the spark of the everflame and read a christmas book in December

[@jessicanw]

I listened to The Order of Time last month (narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch); it was useful to have the book on hand to look at the diagrams and such, but I'm glad I listened to it. The narration was relaxing and enjoyable. The topic was interesting and sometimes 🤯!

[@elizabethc.9910]

☕️ I read One Dark Window and Two Twisted Crowns (the second book of the Duology) earlier this year, and I really enjoyed them. I just started reading The Teller of Small Fortunes last night actually, and so far, it's really good. And reading Slewfoot was highest on my TBR, but I just finished it a few days ago and I Loved it so much, and now I really want to read A Dark and Secret Magic, and Don't Let the Forest In, before the end of the year! This is my favorite time to cozy up and read lots of books, and there are so many good ones I want to get to. Happy reading 📚

[@shell1338]

I adore One Tree Hill. It's one of my all time favorite shows. I just received my BOTM box and can't wait to read Diner For Vampires. Since you are interested in the constructs of time, I would check out Wrong Place Wrong Time. It's a mystery but it has to do with nonlinear time.

[@PagesAndPolish]

I’m really looking forward to reading Blue Sisters too! ❤☕️

[@andishobbies]

Guess I should make my TBR for end of the year! I recently went through and cancelled ALL of my library holds on Libby because I had like 50 and they all kept showing up 😅 so I should make a conscious list lol can't wait to read Don't Let the Forest In!!!

[@Vanquished24]

Just finished starling house. It was great

[@_ashleylh]

I have an indie copy pf Blood Over Bright Haven and it is truly fantastic! Probably runner up for my favorite fantasy of the year (It is close, but The Will of the Many is definitely my favorite.) I don't know if I am right, but I pronounced the MC's name SCI (like the beginning of science) long O na. Just putting in another case for a Dowry of Blood - it was probably my third place finisher for fantasy/speculative books (but who knows what I will read in the next 2 months!). Academy for Liars is up there, too. I read a lot of fantasy but I also read lit fic. I really didn't like Beautiful World Where Are You when I read it last year, but something about Intermezzo intrigued me. So I gave Sally Rooney another shot, and I am so glad I did - I thought Intermezzo was great. I hope you enjoy it. BUT Coco Mellor's Blue Sisters is my top lit fic for the year. I adored it!! PS: I guess I will have to go back and try Normal People now.

[@saskiaelisa06]

It’s still autumn !

[@casieblevins7253]

Malice House (which is excellent) has a sequel that just came out. I think it's called Midnight Showing.

[@suzannebove9976]

I love your selections. How do you read so many in a short time period?

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I got an arc of the last hour between worlds and it sounds SO GOOD

[@SorgieWrites]

☕️Great recommendation as always❤

[@kendrathomas4584]

I already had too long of a list and after this, it’s longer 😂😅 ☕️cheers to our never ending TBR’s!

[@ZzZivaReads]

Don't let the forest in has such a "buy me! read me!" cover, it's gorgeous

[@laurencarroll5246]

I would recommend The elegant universe. Really any Brian Greene but that book is a good starting point for understanding quantum physics, and it ties into the other books. I am a physicist I’m working on my PhD and his books are the reason why I became a physicist. He also has a pbs tv series that goes along with that book.

[@JA-xv3qp]

My number 1 favourite book this year is The only one left by Riley Sager. ❤❤❤❤

[@KyndleWylde]

Barbara Kingsolver is supremeeeee

[@esliet]

Great list Lexi ☕️

[@thecampinglibrarian]

☕️ I can’t say any one book sticks out as a book I must read before the year ends. I will work on my Libby list and library hauls.

[@goldeemabulay9052]

OMG! I also love One Tree Hill. I'm actually rewatching it now 😂

[@joeyq9953]

Don’t Let The Forest In is 10/10

[@GriffReads]

I read the self published edition of Blood Over Bright Haven last year and it was incredible, I hope you love it! I pronounced Sciona like the Sci in Science but I have no idea if that's actually right 😅

[@FaeryLaume]

The first book that comes to mind that I am determined to read ... well, in November actually, is The Secret History. It was the book I most wanted to read in autumn and here we are with only a few weeks left, and I have two library books to tackle first.

[@Merima28]

Brian green's book gets my vote. Although i havent read that one myself 😂..the elegant universe...

[@stevencarsley2446]

☕️nice to see you again

[@_ashleylh]

Before the end of the year, I hope to read Spinning Silver and Every Heart a Doorway for the first time! (Those are a couple of your favourites if I recall.) I hope to reread The Silver Linings Playbook, but I am a bit afraid because it has been 12 years and it is one of my favorite books of all time. I think it will still be as great as I remember though lol. It may be a bit of a stretch, but I also hope to read The Book that Wouldn't Burn and The Witch's Heart - but we will see!

[@KeaLynn]

Taking on Kingdom of Ash and the finale of the Magnolia Parks series, into the dark, so finishing two of my very favorite series before the end of the year so I will probably be crying a lot once both are over

[@books_and_heels]

I highly recommend you make Dinner for Vampires an immersive reading. I listened to the audio last week, and Bethany narrates it. It's how I always read my celebrity memoirs when they narrate their own books, and it's always the best experience 👌 I also highly recommend Blood over Bright Haven: it's a very convoluted fantasy world and it took me a while to understand its magic, but man it's worth it! My Darling Dreadful Thing was super scary. I don't usually scare but this one made me excitedly uncomfortable 🧟 One Dark Window on the other hand, I really disliked the writing. I can't wait to hear your take on them all! I hope I will able to read The Life Impossible, Intermezzo, and Wisteria by the end of the year 🤞

[@Ap_gmaing_yt]

loved this video, I would only add for people to read 'The Skin Radiance Recipe' by Mrs. D it helped me a tonn

[@jennyl.3742]

☕️ I'm currently reading "Nonfiction November" books too. I just finished 'On the Inconvenience of People' by Lauren Berlant and am starting ' The League of Lady Poisoners: Illustrated True Stories of Dangerous Women' by Lisa Perrin which I am really excited about. I have like several fiction books as well and probably a few more nonfiction. But I'm not making commitments to anything just yet. Anyway. Loved the video, thanks for sharing your TBR with us! ☕️

[@smileycindy]

The end of the year is coming by real fast... I would like to read the last book of the Beartown trilogy, The Winners (Fredrik Backman) - I started it this weekend and I'm already almost 200 pages in, but this one is on the longer side. I would also like to read the last book of the Finlay Donovan series, Finlay Donovan Rolls The Dice. I have Terry Pratchett's biography, A Life with Footnotes, that would be a great read for Non-Fiction November. I've also borrowed a couple of Christmasy/wintery romances from the library, Just Like Magic and Eight Perfect Hours. The rest of my reading will be dictated by mood.

[@AmbercollegeA]

One dark window top 5 books ❤

[@hazelphoenix203]

After this video, I drove myself right to abuse Barnes and Noble and picked up Don't Let the Forest In. I'm really looking forward to it!

[@lauraa1345]

Actually the books I want to read until the end of the year are book 3, 4 and 5 in the Acotar series😅 I haven't had the time to continue and there simply were too many books that I read inbetween 🤷 So hopefully I will finish the series this year🤞☕☕

[@sandyokey7728]

I have two books left in my read 24 in 24 or unhaul, so those are what I really want to read by the end of the year. They’re Cemetery Road by Greg Iles and New York by Edward Rutherford. I’ve added a few from your list to my want to read lists now too. 🧡🍁🍂🧡☕️

[@georgiefarr1094]

There's alot of books I want to get through and christmas is always hard to read in that time of month because I'm buying presents, putting up the decorations, working - it's a nightmare but I'm going to push through it 💚💚💚

[@barbaralemon4170]

I stopped being stressed and miserable trying to please everyone else. Take care of yourself!

[@Lillyjoy]

I can’t wait to read When the World Tips Over and Don’t Let The Forest In!! My #1 might be Spectacular by Stephanie Garber

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

Hope you enjoy your reads 📚☕

[@carolmerciez9226]

I listened to Demon Copperhead this fall... it was really good. I listened to David Copperfield last year... really hard to get through.☕

[@LowanaJ]

☕️ enjoy your video

[@leeh4343]

I hope you enjoy Demon Copperhead - Barbara Kingsolver is one of my very favourite authors. 😊

[@samanthaaiello]

I am still on my spooky kick. I just picked up and finished Dear Mothman in one sitting. It is presented like a bunch of letters/journal entries. I thought I’d struggle with that. It was B E A U T I F U L! I was on the verge of tears for almost the whole book. It’s definitely spooky, and there are some challenging parts, but it was stunning. Highly recommend! I have read 87 books this year, and I am so proud of myself. I’m currently on track to finish 100, and I am open to suggestions. I’m a middle grade girly at the moment, but any and all suggestions are welcome

[@zpurplejade]

Dark Heir by CS Pacat is a must read before the end of the year! I just read the first book in the series and it was AMAZING. ☕️

[@anndelgadillo1913]

Demon Copperhead is my favorite read in 2024! Love this book and want to read it again! I would like to read another book by Grady Hendrix by the end of the year. ☕

[@edith_9554]

I really want to read God of the Rings Woods cause I’ve heard great reviews and Anna Karenina but I’m so intimidated by the size of it! 😅☕️

[@strawberrylime33]

☕️ I want to read The Book of Doors by Gareth Brown before the end of the year. And fiiiiinally read The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches.

[@claudiabarros3219]

☕️ I'm in a cozy, romantic, witchy vibe. I want to read The Very Secret society of irregular Witches and Miranda Lyn's The Unmarked series!

[@katschrodinger954]

Anything from Professor James Gleick is really good I recommend "Faster" or "Chaos" as your first foray into the scientific world. I would be remiss if I didn't mention my all time favorite, the incomparable Professor Richard Feynman.
