Hi from Montréal, Québec ! I Love watching your video posts and have been an avid follower for a while now ! I have to ask, where did you get your gorgeous cherry darkish brown ladder book shelves from ? You are an inspiration to read more and to read methodically in different genres and to go out of my comfort zone. I appreciate your time to commit to your videos !! Happy Holidays !!

[@bookslikewhoa]

Aw, thank you so much! In terms of the bookshelves, I got them from Amazon! I just searched "ladder bookshelf" and grabbed the one that came up that I liked the best. I think it was ~$75 USD and it's made from bamboo

I want to do this tag, but I reread a lot of series this year so it might be difficult. And also I have "a thousand" videos planned for the rest of the month, so you know might not have time. But might do it in january. I finished the girl is by kathryn miller haines duology this year highly recomend it.

[@artjournalstories7313]

I started Diviners this year, and I'm really enjoying it, so I need to keep going before I lose the mojo, lol! And I didn't like A Winter's Promise either. Just couldn't get along with it and didn't finish the first book after reading like half way through. Love the year end list videos! :) x

[@bookslikewhoa]

I read Diviners this year too! I thought it was fun, but not sure I'll continue on with it. I think it's still in progress-- maybe if I hear that the ending is good :D

[@Vickey982]

My favourite series of the year is the Kate Burkholder series by Linda Castillo. Some I read, some I listened to, all of them were really good!

[@louisity]

I read series in pieces. In other words, I rarely binge read series. I like putting gaps. I finished the Crazy Rich Asian series and Rich People Problems was the best! Truly Devious was quite disappointing but not horrible to fall in my disappointing reads of 2019. I think I will still continue with Vanishing Stair. I have a reading vlog of it in my KZbin channel. Gilded Wolves is more infamous to me. But I am hoping that I would love it.

I'm easy when it comes to the books and I admit, I get frustrated, because I'm thinking what is bad or average about it, but I know everyone has different opinions and tastes. You know how as book lovers we get passionate and protective of what we love.

[@rachellyn5897]

My favourite series as a whole is the folk of air series, I liked the cruel prince well enough. I loved the wicked king, and I like queen of nothing. Altogether though, it''s a great ride!

[@bookslikewhoa]

I got the first one in the series for my sister for Christmas!

THE END OF YEAR LISTS BEGIN YES 💛💛💛

[@BeautifullyBookishBethany]

I think for 2020, Night Country is not a book that needed to happen after Hazelwood.

[@bookslikewhoa]

yeah, your review actually convinced me to cancel my pre-order :/
