Two videos within five days?! I'm so here for it😆 Thank you so much for treating us like this, Lexi 🥰

[@HouseOfPagesAndPaints]

I think you’ll love Remarkably Bright Creatures. I almost NEVER read contemporary but this one was so good. ☀️☀️☀️

[@alexandraroselyn]

That's what I've heard and I don't usually either! I'm excited to try it out! 😊

[@KeaLynn]

It’s INCREDIBLE!❤

[@ucheaus]

That book was so good!

[@joyceredman2136]

@@alexandraroselyn I would also vote for this book as its so original, unique and different.

[@bethylbug7541]

I agree, it was so good.

[@DebraGail]

My summer TBR: Bad Summer people, A Botanical Daughter, Foxglove, You Like It Darker, Paradise Problem, and The World Divided By Piper.

[@BambuProductions]

I really enjoyed Bad summer people! It's a fast read.

[@lilliewyant4086]

Oh Lexi, what a joy to see you again so soon. I love your channel. You are such a joy. I am 71 and unable to get out. I can only get to the doctor. I love shopping with you. Thank you for sharing. You are a dear! God bless you.

[@anniea90]

Stumbled upon your video today and I could not be happier! Finally some books I have not seen recommended 100 times. I know you have some more popular books in the video too, but I love a rec that I have not heard much about and weird girl recs too!

[@JulEnglefaris]

I loved The Wishing Game with my whole heart. Its not fantasy tho, just contemporary with some child-like imagination type magic

[@bentersbookshelf]

Remarkably Bright Creatures is FANTASTIC!❤

[@sarahelizabeth5381]

I’m so happy you’ll be reading the Pisces.. it’s the definition of weird and I love it!!! Death Valley is very different.

[@alexandraroselyn]

oh yay I'm glad to hear that! The premise sounded so cool! :)

[@MelsShelves]

Carley Fortune’s new book “This Summer Will Be Different” was up there with Just for the Summer and Funny Story. Such a come back!

[@kaitieskates]

Please read Remarkably Bright Creatures ASAP!!! It's so good, it absolutely devastated me. I definitely cried. Reminded me a lot of my grandma that I miss dearly. All about finding connection in unexpected places.

[@hannahanderson8069]

You have a way of describing books that makes me want to read everything. Dangerous for my bank account

[@jenniferfink1728]

Very nice recommendations! I’m reading two books this summer that have a great summer vibe. They are: Watership Down by Richard Adam’s and The Light Eaters by Zoe Schlanger. They are both great so far! ☀️

[@CoffeeeriLP]

Summerween?! Oh hell yeah! Heard this term the very first time and I am all here for it! 🤩

[@bujobyfilo]

I love what you did with the strawberries, how you start so simple and gradually add basic shapes until it looks really cool! And the page with the stick figures was such a good idea too!

[@udishaverma7862]

So, this summer, im somehow reading all the books that have something to do with the sea, and more, here is my ever-growing summer tbr, ive already read some of them: - Tress of the emerald sea. - The Wicked Deep. - The girl who fell beneath the sea. - Song of the six realms. - Bookshop and Bonedust. - Ocean at the end of the lane. - The true poets of the sea. - Some kind of happiness. - Remarkably bright creatures. And more. And now imma add The Pisces and The seas to the list! Thankyou 😂 ☀️

[@meaganfontana6549]

Remarkably Bright Creatures was sooooo good in such a surprising way! I highly recommend listening to the audiobook if you can. The narrators are fantastic!

[@LalAxCrazyMe]

I enjoyed Thornhedge. The vibes are more of a summer evening by a fire kind of read, rather than under the sun by the water. I hope you get around to reading it!

[@CourtneyJadeBanks]

11/22/63 is so good!

[@romalibra_books]

Cannot wait for July’s middle grade pick, it sounds awesome

[@alexandraroselyn]

ME TOO!!!! It has literally all of my favorite things in one book so let's hope we all love it for the summer! 😊♥

[@WonderKitty24]

Big Little Lies was such a fun read. I loved that one. And really everything by Liane.

[@arlene2211]

How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying is on my summer TBR as well! Let's hope it lives up to that amazing title! I am also excited for Foul Days and the new Ashley Poston, A Novel Love Story, is giving me Once Upon a Time mixed with a hallmark movie vibes, but they don't come out til the end of the month

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Just read Funny Story and absolutely loved it!! Also really enjoyed Spells for Forgetting and Remarkably Bright Creatures 😊 Some books on my summer TBR are Seven Days in June, The Tainted Cup, Shady Hollow, The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi, Only If You’re Lucky, Piranesi, The Final Revival of Opal and Nev, and then we’ll just see from there haha!

[@sofsofsof9338]

You would love Remarkable bright creatures!

[@susanveligor364]

☀️ thank you for all your wonderful TBRs! I cannot wait to make my summer TBR ☀️

[@noellevogel2469]

The Body is my favorite King book! I read it earlier this year, after watching the movie I decided I wasn’t ready to leave the characters yet. So good!!

[@Lillyjoy]

I just started The Wishing Game and I’m really enjoying it so far!! It’s so sweet already in just the first chapter. I’m gonna join your patreon for the book club that’s such good timing 😊

[@FaeryLaume]

I really enjoyed Spells for Forgetting but it's a better match for "end of summer" reading as it takes place during "apple harvest season". I read Malice House last year for Summerween and I really enjoyed it - it delivered on the spooky. I adored Remarkably Bright Creatures. My summer reading list is mostly focused on "reading books I own" but I highly suspect I'll end up grabbing a bunch of new releases from my library as well. I do have a stack of books picked out for the Summerween prompts.

[@lauraa1345]

Funny Story and Book Lovers are both on my summer tbr! I've only read Happy Place by Emily Henry and I really liked it a lot, so I'm very excited to dive into her other books ☺️

[@jaquefurt]

You are going to kill us with all those good book recs. Lexi, I CAN’T, OKAY? You make me wanna buy everything 😂😂 I love your channel, senhorita. 🩷☀️

[@cocoa3202]

My tbr (hopefully i can get to these😅) - Long haul by frank figlituzzi (true crime) -Bright young women by jessica knoll (thriller) -all the little raindrops mia sheridan (thriller) - first lie wins ashley elston (thriller) - the middle of the night riley sager (thriller) - the vacation john mars (thriller) - the atlas paradox (fantasy) im so bad at reading series lol - book lovers emily henry (romance) - the paradise problem christian lauren (romance) - the dare natasha preston (Ya thriller) Idk if you can tell there is a theme lol

[@thecampinglibrarian]

☀️ Great summer TBR list. I can’t wait for you to read Remarkably Bright Creatures! ☀️

[@Sharletwitch]

I’m so happy I found your channel! You have great taste in books. I’m excited about the Ministry of Time as well 😁

[@anautisticreader2963]

I am looking forward to getting to Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne. ☀️🌞

[@stefanienordstrom6750]

I also have Remarkably Bright Creatures on my summer TBR! I was hoping for Ministry of Time, but I am "several months out" on the Libby audio. My summer TBR is also long with This Summer Will be Different, James, and Mansfield Park at top priority! ☀🦊

[@ReadingNymph]

☀️Im all here for the weird literature! I just received Chlorine, The Seas sounds great and Brutes I've had on my radar for ages. Great selection

[@tiffanyrich6652]

Yay, a new video. I have soooo many books . SK’s You Like it Darker, The Fury (as well), Winter’s Orbit, Murder at the end of the World, The Other Half, Dead Eleven, Home is Where the Bodies are, Murder Road, the 2nd book in the Addicted series, Magnolia Parks series, ect. Anyway hopefully I get to a few of these. I’m really excited for You Like it Darker. Anyway I can’t wait for the next video.

[@EmilyMooremore]

Great video! Also, that blue iPad case is FAB

[@alexandraroselyn]

Thank you! 😊

[@justine.c]

Ah! So excited. I already ordered Thornhedge!! So excited.

[@Gracieroseyxox]

I’m in Australia and am in winter so I’m just going into that vibe with books. But I’m planning to read pineapple street from your recommendation as I love housewives. I love your videos so much Alexandria ☀️

[@bookswithamymarie]

Excited to see what you think of The Fury!

[@hayle5920]

I would love to see you do a reading blog on Remarkable Bright Creatures. When I was recommended it I thought there was no way I'd like it, but it ended up being 5 stars for me! Happy reading!

[@alexandraroselyn]

Oooo I can do that!! 😊

[@adrianadeescobar1228]

I have a strong feeling you'll enjoy Remarkably Bright Creatures. I was very unsure but loved it so much.

[@Tammy-rp5fl]

I’m excited to try the genre Weird Books!!

[@angelekay3843]

This summer i wanna read Dune, Tress of the Emerald Sea, Dragonfruit, and a variety of summer/beach/water/pirate themed books!

[@evix.9888]

Love the consistency Lexi 😍 Can you plz do a video recommeding your favourite literary fiction books ?

[@c.m.8972]

This list sounds so good, I added most of those books to my TBR as well 😊 I already read the Stephen King book and gave it 4 stars. My TBR contains around 200 books at the moment 😅🙈

[@Lavishlybookish]

Yes! I want to read all the weird books all summer! ❤

[@christinegreen3974]

Great list! Remarkably Bright Creatures was a surprising favorite for me! On my list I have: Beyond That, The Sea; The Golden Spoon; The Wedding Dress Sewing Circle, The Wishong Game and The Sentence. I think I can add a few from your list too!

[@goodmornindreamer]

I just read The Unmaking of June Farrow this month and absolutely loved it. I really want to read Spells For Forgetting and just love the way the author writes 🥰 I have The Honey Witch on my list to read for the month of June and am very excited.

[@HollysBookishRealm]

Oh my goddess, yaaaaay, another video! Can't wait to see which books we have in common ❤🎉

[@alexandraroselyn]

Omg tell me if we do!!

[@HollysBookishRealm]

@@alexandraroselyn There wasn't many unfortunately :( The Fury is the only book in common BUT now I have a tonne more books on my radar & TBR, so thank you!! xoxo

[@rebekahaak5241]

Right now I am reading "This Summer will be Different" by Carley Fortune, her new Summer Romance this year. If you a an Anne of Green Gables fan like myself you will love it!

[@vintagelace7076]

So I decided my "summer" novel is going to be Jaws. It's such a summer iconic movie that I love so I decided to read Jaws for summer because it's got boats, summertime, beaches , ocean so I'm excited!

[@ucheaus]

I love spells for forgetting!

[@dawnandalankirke7045]

Loved Emily Henry’s new book. Great steam but really good character development and story. ❤

[@vintagelace7076]

Ok so I have bought my 5 Summerween books..Hollowed by Jessica Taylor which is a Sleepy Hollow twist novel. Shade by Merrier Destefano which is a story about Frankenstein and other classic monsters that come to life after dark at a villa through stories the guest at the party tell. Psycho by Robert Bloch which is a retelling of the movie but little different. Salt and Broom by Sharon Lynn Fisher which is a twist on Jane Eyre and Murder in the Villa by Susan Kieran Lewis. A few of these are only 100 pages which is very manageable. I hope I enjoy them all!

[@ArtemisC.DAragon]

Wow!!! Thank you, Lexi!!! I'm thrilled with all those new titles for your Summer TBR!!! I want them all👏👏👏 although my bank card has hidden from me & my finances have you on their black list already 😉🙃🤣🤣🤣 Nonetheless is a great gift having you there talking about books, my favorite subject, with such enthusiasm & knowledge. You definitely deserve a ☀️ & a huge 🤗💖📚🍀

[@banannakis6723]

I LOVED Thornbridge, I read it in one sitting and it introduced me to T Kingfisher and made me want to read her work. I need to read The Body too, I love the movie and I do enjoy King's work.

[@danat3961]

I have been binging a lot of your older videos… mostly autumn and spooky season ones.. they are my favorite lol and I’m lonesome for fall… I wish I could just zoom through summer

[@mollypopplewell1655]

☀️ Ooh those time travel ones sound so good! Esp the ministry of time one! I have so many on my summer tbr!! 😆 I really want to read Carlos Ruiz Zafon's The Prince Of Mist as it's set in the summer if I'm remembering correctly. Also I love his books in general definitely my fav author!

[@jessie6494]

Ahh I love your TBRs!!! I’ve been contemplating Remarkably Bright Creatures so I need to know your opinions on it if/when you get to it!!! I also love Stand By Me so I’ll probably be picking up The Body. I’ve just recently read the 5 acotar books and now I’m itching to read the throne of glass series!!! My friends recommended the Red Rising series so I’ll definitely be starting that soon! I have quite a few books I’ve been meaning to read but I think I want to read Seven Days in June, What You’re Looking For Can Be Found in the Library, and maybe Funny Story will be my first Emily Henry book!!

[@linda-ts8ty]

Lexi, 11/22/63 is AMAZING. It’s a historical fiction, romance, small town thriller, sci-fi, all in one ❤❤❤

[@wonderlandjournal]

So many great books to read! ☀️

[@lilarceo2251]

11/22/63 IS AMAZING! You will love it

[@linziscarsella6729]

I loooved The Wishing Game, it is still one of my top reads of this year! I'm going to put Malice House on my tbr.

[@maureendeming]

Marcelus the octopus is hands down the best part of Remarkably Bright Creatures! My goal this summer is to finally read Demon Copperhead

[@alexandracraveiro2091]

I loved The Pisces! I think you’ll really enjoy it ♓️

[@kristinthomas9993]

Loved Remarkably Bright Creatures! Gave it five stars! It is one of my favorites of the year so far!

[@JaJaJantsen]

omg yessss can't wait until you read Brutes

[@mckennaraulston6173]

Bad summer people is on my summer list and Back in the Burbs, and Pretty Dudes

[@nknutson780]

I loved The husbands ❤ and big little lives ❤❤❤

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

Hope you enjoy your reads 📚🥤

[@KeaLynn]

Lexi you have to read the Chestnut Springs romance series. As someone who has never liked cowboys etc I was not expecting to have my heart literally stolen away by the series!

[@alexandraroselyn]

oooo really??? Okay I'll write that down thank you!

[@KeaLynn]

@@alexandraroselyn you and I almost always have the same takes on books so I hope you love them! Heartless and Reckless were my fav but they’re all so good

[@ash31114]

Ministry of time made me cry. I didn’t expect it to be emotional but wow. I just read Swiped and I think it would be a good one for summerween! It’s just good in general but had some comedic elements while reading

[@Vanquished24]

I read Spoonbender a while ago. The premise is so interesting. I was hoping for more out of it, curious to see your take. Vicious by Schwab is a better magic abilities book imo, but definitely different vibes

[@mckennaraulston6173]

I love the categories

[@laurenbecker7391]

Spells for Forgetting is incredible! You're going to love it.

[@alexandraroselyn]

I can't wait to read it!! I've heard such amazing things about it!!

[@teadesi]

☀I really enjoyed Just for the Summer and I also have a Riley Sager on my summer TBR.

[@Anna-dp8ee]

My Summer tbr so far is: „Saltblood“ by Francesca De Tores, „A Gallery of Rogues“ by Beth Lincoln, „Summer’s End“ by Juneau Black, „The Bewitching of Aveline Jones“ by Phil Hickes, „Brambly Hedge: Summer Story“ by Jill Barklem and „You Like It Darker“ by Stephen King 🥰 but I‘m a mood reader so who knows what will be added or removed 😅

[@sariaacuna]

Hello, Thank you Lexi for your content. I am intrigued by the, "weird books" and weird girl literary fiction you mentioned, ha ha! Did you do a vlog or review on books from that genre?

[@giseleeiras9450]

I'm so excited for you to read Chlorine!! I hope you like it 🧡

[@alexandraroselyn]

I've heard great things!! I can't wait to pick it up! 😊

This is the summer of horror for me. Love this list. I just picked up I’m a Fan from my library , can’t wait ☀️

[@alexandraroselyn]

Ooo I hope you like that one Eslie!! 😊❤️

[@WonderKitty24]

I loved Thorn Hedge. Very well written and such a fun story.

[@juliep5463]

You will LOOOOOOOOOVE 11/22/63. I absolutely loved it and I really don’t enjoy SiFi or Stephen King. But this book was soooooo good, I couldn’t put it down.

[@kantui525]

If you like time travel, you could read Just One Damn Thing After Another which is a very funny series following a university department that time travels to study historical events.

[@strawberrylime33]

" A group of toxic besties being toxic besties." Isn't that just Pretty Little Liars? 😂 ☀️☀️🌞

[@judithcakelover]

Wow so excited to add some more to my tbr as well 😂❤

[@alexandraroselyn]

I hope you find some that sound good for the summer! 🥰

[@Kayla-rj9lr]

The Wishing Game is my fave book so far of 2024! 🥰it is not fantasy tho, it's like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory but with a children's author hosting the contest

[@alwaysyourtrueself1713]

I'm actually reading P.S. I Love You for the first time. I got The Husbands recently. I'm also working on When The Crow's Away(more fall season). So not all of them are from this year but that's what I'm currently reading. I also got The Waters a few months ago which I have to pick up again.

[@mlleChesca]

Omgggg big little lies is such a fast read for meee 💃🏻

[@soniaesquivel9385]

I really liked Malice House… a lot actually. I still think about it and I read it last year. 11/22/63 I honestly loved it… also if you have Hulu, watch the show! It was so good ☀️ ☀️

[@meghanhiness]

lol I just read Giovanni's Room earlier this month, am reading The Body right now, and Tin Man was one of my favorite reads of last summer :)

[@jagarimukherjee5602]

I am reading Wild Beauty, which you had recommended on your channel once, a couple of years ago!❤ Also, Exes And Os by Amy Lea, and Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson...you are my favorite Booktuber😊

[@WaterBearReads]

Ooh I read The Fury and will be so curious to hear your thoughts! I am also so interested in Remarkable Bright Creatures. Im excited to read 'We Have Always Lived in the Castle'☀

Oh I hope you love We Have Always Lived in the Castle! I really enjoyed that one it was super creepy!
