[@syd2765]

I literally just finished my masters degree today and to open KZbin and see this video is the best reward ever!!!!❤

[@ravenhairedreader]

OMG CONGRATS!!!! you’re so amazing!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤍

[@syd2765]

@@ravenhairedreader thank you so much!!!! YOU are amazing! 🥰💛💛💛

[@NovelLife]

Hearing you talk about Binding 13 and Keeping 13 brings me so much joy ❤

[@ravenhairedreader]

they were so so good! can’t wait to start saving 6

[@makaylajadden]

I’m reading Heat of the Everflame & I HAVE BEEN FOREVER NOW BECAUSE ITS LITERALLY THE SIZE OF KINGDOM OF ASH. That aside, I do love it when I’m reading it, but I’m right there with you with Diem & her decisions. Girl drives me to drink.

[@ravenhairedreader]

hahahaha yes this exactly! love her but she gives me a headache sometimes haha

[@Jordan_elaine]

Keeping 13 will forever hold my heart. So glad you liked it!

[@cori4727]

I'm definitely adding Trial Of The Sun Queen and Funny Story to my TBR!! 🍋🍋🍋

[@rachelwright9226]

🍋love that you enjoyed some of my favorite reads this year! And my favorite series of all time! (Boys of Tommen) can’t wait to see what you think of Joey’s story! If you thought Binding/keeping 13 were tough just you wait but the pain is so worth it!

[@PalmTreesandReads]

I also really liked Funny Story after almost not picking it up! I did not like Happy Place at all (so much miscommunication), but I did like this one. 4 stars (not a 5 star due to the third act annoying-ness) 🍋

[@Tiffs-bookshelf]

Binding and keeping is my favorite book series. Can’t wait to see what you think of Joeys story

[@ilcosmodijess]

🍋I've read Emily Henry a bunch of years ago and gave it 3 stars, never picked her up again, but "Funny story" sounds like a book I could enjoy, so I may give it a try!

[@lexys_library]

Reading Heat of the Everflame as we speak! I owe my life to you because I bought the series on your recommendation and honestly.. your word is gospel thank youuuu 🩷

[@ravenhairedreader]

ahhh thank you!! so happy you’re enjoying it!

[@Mimlou]

Thank you so much for recommending the Spark of Everflame series! I’m now on book 3 just like I’m now on book three with Lady of Ashes. While it’s a 3.5-4 star series (so far) for me as well, it’s giving me all the good feels TOG and ACOTAR did. You can see a lot of similarities and influence within the series. Thanks again for another good recommendation! You’re officially my go-to❤❤❤

[@cookesbooknook]

Just finished Wild Love, it's my first Elsie Silver book, and I'm obsessed! 🍋🍋🍋🍋

[@lynnharr2268]

Your April wrap-up is almost exactly the same as my May TBR lol 😆 Except add a couple of fantasies and Love Redesigned by Lauren Asher. So glad you had a great reading month ❤

[@KristinKravesBooks]

Just for the Summer truly was perfect! Abby Jimenez always manages to surprise me.

[@simonesaysread]

🍋💛 reading just for the summer. Fingers crossed for a 5 star!

[@jenitapersis]

I am going to start just for the summer, and I hope it's a five-star read for me too🍋🍋🍋thank you for this video I really enjoyed it!

[@Bookbonkers8439]

I too did not like Book Lovers or Happy place, so I’m really hoping I like Funny Story. I always say that it’s quality over quantity in my reading, and you had some great books out of the 8 you read, so I’d count that as a win!! 🍋

[@MukbangMondays]

For me I didn’t mind book lovers, hated happy place , and hated beach reads

[@TheBookishBrew]

I started the Kindred Curse's Sage series last month from watching your videos. Absolutely love the series. I am about 30% of the way through the 2nd book. Such a fun time. ❤

[@strugglingbookaholic1245]

I’m reading Just for the Summer and I’m already absolutely loving it! 🍋

[@AmeliaAliceIzzy]

Just as I was refreshing my subs page hoping something good would come up 🥰

[@ravenhairedreader]

🫶🏻🩷

[@Cm-up9sf]

Just for the Summer ☀️ was really good also if you listen to the audiobook Abby does a q & a at the end. 🍋🍋🍋🍋

[@anitap25]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these new relases! 🙏🏻 I was hesitant to pick up ‘Funny Story’ for the same reasons, but! Since we have similar tastes in books, I’ll give it a shot! 🍋🍋🍋

[@rainybluereads]

Omg I’m SO pumped to read just for the summer!!

[@readingwithmorgan]

i've been seeing SOOO much about chloe walsh's boys of tommen series and i want to read it so so bad. i barely know what it's about but i'm HOOKED. AND JUST FOR THE SUMMER was my first abby book and IMMEDIATE 5 stars. NO COMPLAINTS. loved it so so much. as for funny story, i agree on what you said about miles handing *that* situation! i was BLINKING at the page going, "what the hell miles???" great video! i love listening to your wrap ups!! 😊

[@MariaMightReadThat]

[@taylorsmith4654]

[@kathleenbaker2791]

🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋Thank you for the recommendations!

[@BookedandBusy]

🍋 I have the same history with Emily Henry so hopefully funny story is a bit ford me

[@aanvuu]

I only read two books, but I did get married and went on my honeymoon in April

[@taraweaver6165]

🍋 Hope the trip to France was great 😊 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@ravenhairedreader]

thank you!

[@meloveschocolate]

I literally only read half of an Ali Hazelwood novella this April. I was so busy with university exams and my first big girl job 🥲😅🍋

[@JennifervanEck-b1e]

Can you read wild love if you never read anything from elsie silver?

[@ravenhairedreader]

yes you can! her series exist in the same universe but still exist on their own 🤍

[@JennifervanEck-b1e]

@@ravenhairedreader thankyou!

[@amberstriker6062]

Do you mean her moral conflict in the face of obvious danger??? Because I’m stuck at 15% and have diverted to two random smut books because Diems, “No! Don’t kill them! I know they’re trying to murder me! And you! And everyone! But don’t kill them!” Cause that’s driving me over the edge. 🙄

[@katanabluebird]

I didn't know Emily Henry was a Frasier fan.....or was that Nigel and Daphne? Lol

[@carelesskitten9475]

I might be the only that wasn’t that impressed with just for the summer, it feels like Abby has this thing where she always puts the FMC’s emotional baggage and trauma in the forefront, has them freaking out and acting irrationally and then the romance is on the back burner, like I’m sorry but this book is everyone’s idea of a fun summertime read? PTSD, child abuse, and an abusive mother?…the entire book was trauma filled and abuse. And I’m sorry but Justin was going through his own shit and I think he handled it a lot more maturely than Emma did.

[@Hannah_Lynch]

Hello bestie, sorry I’m late ☺️

[@Hannah_Lynch]

She’s in her contemporary romance era again 💅🏻

[@Hannah_Lynch]

Funny Story 🥹

[@Hannah_Lynch]

The third act conflict can make or break a book, speak your truth 🙌🏻

[@connyp7979]

🍋the 3rd act conflict…that’s what made it a 3, 4 for me. I’m still upset at this make believe person 🥲😂

[@tahirareads]

I had the complete opposite situation with Emily Henry where I loved Happy Place and was disappointed by Funny Story 🥲🍋
