[@battybean]

🥰🖤

[@mrsamcnizzle]

I love your book content sooo much! I am reading The House Across th Lake right now and Harry Potter book 6. Thrillers and wizardy vibes for the start of spooky season. 👻 🍁🍂🧙‍♂️💀

[@lindaferrari8029]

This series is one of my favourite. I always add so many books to my list! In August I read and loved Eight Mountains by Paolo Cognetti and Circe by Madeleine Miller 📚📖

[@hecate63]

From Cassandra Clare I love the shadowhunters serie ❤

[@thelady_stardust]

Make up,books and cats best combination for me. The look is really pretty Love the palette so much ordered on your recommendation. And your hair is beautiful ❤🍂🎃

[@battybean]

thanks a lot!🥰

[@AnnieWiz1978]

I dont wear lashes or winged liner nearly as much as i like or want to due to fact that if you mess em up you pretty much mess up your whole look at the end so i started experimenting more with the liquid winged liner in the evening before make up removal and now im much better at applying it❤😊

[@strwbrygrllilyable]

Awww I loved A Deadly Education! To me it felt like a love letter to all us kids who loved Harry Potter and are adults now 😆 I also loved her fairytale-ish books, Uprooted and Spinning Silver. Definitely a different vibe, maybe you would enjoy them more! Yay for books and makeup videos!!

[@dgs788]

I love your book videos so much! I look forward to them every month

[@battybean]

I’m so glad! Thank you!

[@93animetube]

You mentioned that book again house across the lake..I think I wanna read that one! Im reading the knockamout series and loveee it

[@beautifuldreamer0811]

I read Fourth Wing last month but haven't done much reading recently as I was binge watching the Vampire Diaries, Originals, Legacies saga. Now that I am finished, I can dive back into reading!! Jennifer L Armentrout has a new book either coming out soon or maybe it just came out, if you have read the Blood and Ash series. If not, I highly recommend! And can I just say how much I love the fact that you have combined makeup and books! These videos make me so happy!!!

[@dragonsinspace.lovemakeup]

I love all the Cassandra Clare books, there are so many to keep you going for a while 🤭📚

[@catherine432]

Great makeup look! I like hearing your book reviews, the silent patient one sounds like an interesting premise!

[@battybean]

it was definitely a unique idea!

[@JLaw1217]

Beautiful! And I love your book reviews. I’ve been struggling to find a new author, and your videos are so helpful.

[@KristyKurylo]

Out of the Dreamland books, the second one, Terms and Conditions, is definitelly the best!

[@battybean]

Oh yay!!

[@heathernelson1095]

Bookish grwm are my fave 😊 that look is fire! I think you’d like Legendborn, dark academia and fantasy set in the south with a super badass main character. I just finished serpents and the wings of night which was so dang goooood 🎉

[@KristyKurylo]

I'm glad that you liked Good Girls Guide to Murder, I really want to read it, I'll probably start it today. I'm so happy you loved 7 Husbands of Evelyn Hugo! I can't wait for the movie!

[@battybean]

I hope you love it as much as me!

[@reneeeasley]

I feel like we are makeup and book besties and it’s my favorite! I’m really happy you like kingdom of the wicked because i want to start it and so far Iv liked all your recommendations 💛

[@lillianklymiuk]

i just started reading "Hidden Pictures" by jason rekulak today. i am definitely adding a few of these to my TBR list. Thank you for the recommendations!

[@sweetscosmeticscorner5650]

I'm so jealous of how many books you are ab!e to read in a month.

[@BooksWithJudy]

I am sadly in a reading slumb after Fourth Wing. I am so waiting for the second book.

[@battybean]

I’m so excited to get to that one eventually!

[@Frouwke]

I started reading more fantasy books with the same feeling after that one lol, can't be November soon enough!

[@paolafrias]

Im finally getting back into reading and going off of your reviews! Love this series!

[@essiecooper3718]

Love your book videos you have helped me fine some great reads. Love your makeup BettyJean😍

[@awesomeempties]

love hearing about the books you read each month! so happy you read the silent patient, i really want to pick that one up! i just got back into reading because of you in the middle of this month so i only got through 2 books. i read the house across the lake which was 5 stars for me, i loved it! then i read how to sell a haunted house by Grady Hendrix and honestly i wasnt a fan. i felt like there were a ton of run on sentences and it took so long for me to get into it. i gave it 3 stars only because i liked the ending but yeah, wouldn't recommend. i just picked up the only one left by riley sager so i'm super excited to start it!

[@battybean]

I wanna read only one left!

[@oliviashin6812]

I gotta say! You look so FIERCE and im livinggg 🔥🔥 (my most favorite looks from you lately!!) ive been dabbling into reading again and my fiancé and I are on a huge junji ito kick! I wasn’t as creeped out or spooked as i was hoping to be but his art and subtle theming and storytelling is always worth appreciating:)

[@shainaduncan8697]

I just read Daisy Darker, it was a really quick read that I could not put down! A very good mystery/thriller book! I just bought the good girls guide to murder and I'm so excited to read it, especiallyafter hearing you enjoyed it! The Silent Patient has to be one of my favorite books, once everything started falling together it was so interesting. I don't know if you've read The Child, but that one gave me the same feeling as the silent patient with how everything just intertwines haha I just started Home Before Dark.

[@battybean]

I’ll have to check those out!

[@coleoftheball]

I really need to start doing makeup and books on my channel! ❤

[@michelehartshaw8659]

You definitely had a great mix of reading pleasure. I am hoping to get to B&N today as there are a few books I am absolutely getting, and they have a sale going on plus triple rewards for Premium Members. I really like the eye look today. I hope that you have a great Friday!😘💜

[@battybean]

Ugh don’t TELL ME THAT I’m supposed to be on a book buying ban😂

[@roxschannel]

Im on a mission to read all the Taylor Jenkins Reid books haha i read five so far, loved them all ❤

[@susanpeltier3333]

I just read Fourth Wing & Our Wives Under the Sea both were really good. I can’t read as fast as you, apparently, but gonna add a few of these to my want list!

[@laurengarrison8804]

Makeup and books! Woooo! 💄📚

[@thegothgoblin9454]

I borrowed Dead Romantics on your rec and it was SO GOOD. I might actually buy it so I can read it again later. If you liked The House in the Cerulean Sea, you might like his newer book In the Lives of Puppets, which was also a solid 5 star read for me. It's basically Pinocchio but with robots in the future. The banter is great. I read A Good Girls Guide to Murder as well and was pleasantly surprised by it (I gave it a solid 4 stars.) Keep doing these book videos, I love them! I always need more book recs.

[@audrah-f577]

I’m currently reading Ink Blood Sister Scribe. It’s so good! I think you’d like it if you haven’t read it yet! There’s magic but it’s a modern setting. Some mystery in trying to figure out how storylines connect, who lied/withheld information, that sort of thing. Really cool world building and character development. I’m riveted!

[@battybean]

Oh I love that!

[@melaniesperfume]

Betty Jean! Your hair looks so pretty today! Also, love the eye makeup as usual. Thanks for sharing your reads for the month

[@battybean]

thanks a lot!

[@tenebraintus]

This hairstyle, omg! Stunning! Also, love your reading wrap ups so much!

[@battybean]

thank you!!

[@dziwna]

I feel seen with A Deadly Education by Namoi Novik - I had the same experience! I liked Noviks other books, but couldn't get through this one!

[@battybean]

I reallyyy wish I liked it more😭

[@zjenci]

came for the makeup content, stayed for the books. 😍

[@bethiebobanna5780]

I've been trying to get myself into thrillers lately, and I recently read The Paris Apartment. But honestly, I just didn't love it-- I thought it was really boring and didn't feel very invested in any of the characters. I'm glad you enjoyed it though! Maybe thrillers just aren't my vibe. I'm a big fantasy/romance reader though. If you're looking for some good fantasy reads, I recommend The Shades of Magic series by V.E. Schwab!

[@simoneclarke5104]

📚📚📚I always love your makeup inspiration, love the eye look as always! I am really enjoying your vlogs and now book reviews, it’s been awesome, thank you🥰!

[@battybean]

thanks so much!🥰

[@kaylaburgess169]

I love your book videos! I’m a big reader myself (mostly horror) and also love makeups so these videos are some of my favorites

[@battybean]

🥰🥰

[@Frouwke]

Just started this video and just gotta say you look gorgeous. 😍 I love the parting!

[@battybean]

thank you!🖤

[@thatssokristenn]

Batty bean more like baddie bean!!! This look is soo 🔥🔥🔥😍

[@ATiredRiss]

If you liked This Poison Heart, try Legendborn by Tracy Deonn!

[@misscash785]

Enjoyed the makeup and books!! 💖

[@cinnamongeeksout]

Have you read the Bear and the Nightingale. It's the first book of the Winternight Trilogy by Katherine Arden, and it's amazing. I love it sooooo much. Such a beautiful series. Highly recommend it.

[@battybean]

I haven’t!

[@cinnamongeeksout]

@battybean I hope you read them one day. I have read the series 4 or 5 times now. It's almost like a comfort series to me, it has such a... feel to it!

[@hannahmalcolm9960]

I'm reading instructions for dancing by :Nicola yoon

[@hillzhaveeyes_]

This look is soo beautiful!!😍💜📚📖

[@praying4patience]

I just finished How to Sell a Haunted House by Grady Hendrix and I’m starting a Game of Thrones….I love the show so much but I’ve never read the books 📚

[@BelleStreetBoyz]

[@battybean]

Do you have a Goodreads account? I would love to follow you there too!

[@battybean]

I just use it for personal tracking! I don’t really post reviews or anything like that

[@carmencerezo]

@@battybean I use it the same way, I just like looking at what people are reading and what stars they give to books :)

[@AL-vo2uh]

The beginning half of the first book in the scholomance is super hard to read/get into. I feel like an editor could have pressed a little harder on the author here to make it more.... coherent? interesting? I pushed through it because I had friends who wanted to talk about the book, but I did feel it got better and finished the second book quickly.
