Books I'm Reading in Self Isolation💕

[@jilliansbookchatter7855]

“Quarantine’s got me feeling more single than normal...”. Girl...that made me laugh because I totally can relate!

[@parvathysajeev5031]

Exactly what I was thinking ! 😂

[@alexandraroselyn]

Jillian’s Book Chatter Hahahaha! Glad to know I’m not alone!

[@MLLatUtube]

I absolutely loved The Bookish Life of Nina Hill! Right now I am working on my OWLS TBR which is bringing me out of a reading slump so that is a good thing.

[@DarkRuins]

i love your humor, its sarcastic in a light and mature way. so glad i found your channel. cheers to boredom for a month in isolation, cause im already getting cabin fever, bad.

[@alexandraroselyn]

DarkRuins sammeeeeee. And thank you❤️

[@beautyliterate]

You mentioned so many books I've either read or want to read! Can't wait to see your thoughts on them!!

[@GracewithBooks]

Such cozy books on your tbr! I absolutely love it

[@MyLocsareREAL]

Thanks Lexi, for reminding me that I own the book Chocolat, since I started watching Booktube I’ve accumulated more books than I can read, and Chocolat, is a book that I own, (for years). I think I’m going to read it..OH!!! and Chocolat is one of my favorite movies tied with “Under the Tuscan Sun and Easter weekend will be perfect for both 🥰 like I always say ..”love your videos “💕 I just finish “THE BOOKWANDERERS” by Anna James and I loved it..

[@alexandraroselyn]

Kiki Ray I loveee Under the Tuscan Sun!!!! And I think you’ll love Chocolat!! It’s so cute!!

[@JoanaSousaReads]

2020 is literally the 1920's again: a plague, economic crash... we just focus on the glitz and glam from the time but literally, we are reliving it xD

[@alexandraroselyn]

Joana Sousa oh god you’re right😩

[@autumnritchie1473]

Omygosh! I still can’t wait for you to read Night Film & The Shadow of the Wind! You posted a video earlier this year & I was talking about reading Night Film. I actually did read it & it was really good! I can definitely see you getting scared! :) The last maybe 100 pages did have me reeling! I definitely want to read her other books! And I’m so with you about the 20s! I thought this would be our time to shine! On the bright side, the decade isn’t over at all, so hopefully things will get better! 🙃🤗🤗 Well, I love you, Lexi!💕💕💕 Sending you all the positive vibes!✨✨✨ I’m looking forward to your week of thrillers as I really enjoyed your spooky vlogs for last October! 😊💕✨

[@reneebarrette4514]

Great TBR! I'm currently reading Don't You Cry by Mary Kubica (also just finished her new novel The Other Mrs. on Audible this morning). I also just bought The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware so that's going to be coming up shortly and I also bought The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, which I've read many years ago. I enjoyed it then, but not as much as I feel I might love it even more now, so I'm excited about that!

[@resatroast8072]

Yes. I JUST finished Starless Sea and I've had Illuminae on the shelf for a while.

[@PlanWithIvey]

I’m currently reading the Starless Sea right now and I’m loving it and I think you will too.

[@BasicallyBrittx]

Night Film is SO GOOD! Such a unique story!

[@jenrussell4332]

I am reading the butterfly garden .

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Ooo yes ninth house is great! Starts very slow, but push through!

[@alexandraroselyn]

oh okay!! That's good to know!

[@angelarosereads]

The Starless Sea gives me goosebumps. It’s so atmospheric and magical. ✨ I have been reading the 20 books on my physical TBR, trying to get it down so they stop judging me lol. This Is How You Lose the Time War is up next for me! I hope the stories brighten your spirits during this time ♥️

[@alexandraroselyn]

angelarosereads Aw thank you I hope you’re doing well❤️

[@jeimyreid]

Just discovered your channel, its absolutely lovely so i had to subscribe💕

[@enchantedadventuresthrough3065]

#108... I just read Primer, by Jennifer Muro, and loved it. Kitty and the Moonlight Rescue, by Paula Harrison, is also a great read, but I am not finished with it yet (2 chapters left). The Forget-Me-Not Summer is also a great read in my opinion, but I have about 100 pages to read before finishing it. I got the 2 next books in the series, so I'm glad I like it enough to read the next book. I was also reading the Amulet series, by Kazu Kibuishi and have been enjoying it from the start. All other books I have mentioned before so I'm not gonna do that here. But yeah, I'm still reading 6 books. I'm gonna try to focus on The Forget-Me-Not Summer this weekend, but if I manage to do something else, I will try to listen to the other books to see if I like them enough to continue with them. I only like half of them, I think...

[@Mariak82]

I am rereading The Hunger Games and currently on Catching Fire and reading Caraval books and currently read up to Legendary and just have Finale next. 🙂📚

[@holdenbeach4ever]

I would go to Narnia too!! Or maybe Oz 👠

[@alexandraroselyn]

holdenbeach4ever oooooo i would go there too!!

[@marienuit2344]

Night Film is one of my absolute favourite books of all time! ♥ It's really disturbing but powerful, I hope you like it! I rated it 3/5 when I first read it but it has really stuck with me! (so definitely a 5 by now haha)

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Your intro music is always banging, I can only dream

[@alexandraroselyn]

How to Train Your Gavin the how to train your gavin theme song is iCoNiC sir.

[@prernaasthana5518]

Ooh! Some excellent book recs, I have read The starless Sea, Ninth House, bookish life of Nina Hill and The kiss quotient. I would recommend the bride test sequel of the kiss quotient and The flatshare

[@alexandraroselyn]

Prerna Asthana i lovvveeeed the flatshare!!!

[@ashleydunham3601]

You might have inspired me to reread The Starless Sea! It’s soooo wonderful ✨💕 Currently, I’ve just started The Gracekeeper and I’m excited to see where it goes! Thank you for spreading some much needed joy through your videos 💛

[@jillc2700]

I gave in and bought ten thousand doors of january for my kindle. I had inter library loaned it before all this stuff hit so for all I know it’s actually AT the library... but since it’s closed right now, no way to know. Anyway just started that one. Also just finished reading the first two books in the Heartstrikers series (free kindle for those on amazon reading unlimited) and they were pretty fun paranormal books about dragons. So I will probably read the next three before my free trial subscription runs out. Thanks for the book ideas, I put a couple on my online library wish list!

[@alexandraroselyn]

Jill C I still have to read Ten Thousand Doors! I’ve heard such good things I hope we both love it!!

[@vivianwakoff]

I'm reading The Shadow of Wind right now. The edition in my native language (Portuguese) is horrible. Tiny font, taller than it was necessary... but I'm loving the story in spite of that! And "quarentine has me feeling more single than normal"! Same girl same!!!!

[@AlwaysPiper]

Great video! A new subscriber here and I'm excited to watch the rest of your videos, as we have a similar taste in books ^_^ If you like magical realism, I highly recommend books by Sarah Addison Allen. She has six published novels and they're all pretty much comfort reads to me, I absolutely adore them. The Sugar Queen also has a lot of foo descriptions, like Chocolat, but all of her books are wonderful :) Another huge favourite is Alice Hoffman's magical realism books, although her books can get a bit darker.

[@Withbecky1]

I love that you incorporate different genres. I have mainly read YA, but I want to kinda slip into another genre journey haha.

[@darkacademiacafe8238]

I’ve also been wanting to read Nightfilm because I loved Special Topics in Calamity Physics. When flipping through Nightfilm I was so surprised to see the pictures and emails, it’s going to be so interesting and hopefully good! And also The Bookish Life of Nina Hill sounds so cute, I think as you said lighthearted reads are SO important!!

[@rebekahmackenzie]

I put so many books on my quarantine tbr. And I'm in a reading slump. 👍 I read Nina Hill last year and liked it.

[@alexandraroselyn]

Rebekah Mackenzie oh yay that’s good to know!!!

[@GavinReadsItAll]

My mind during quarantine... Lexi: "I've got 3 more adults to show you" Me: "Are they single?" Lexi: *starts pulling out adult books*

[@livslibrary]

Your hair & hat combo is perfection! I love it! I hope you like Ninth House more than I did... that one was a big yikes from me. Haha I was going to read Crescent City this month, but it's on hold at my library and they're currently closed completely. YASSSSS! Hope you love Turn of the Key! I read it in 1 day - I couldn't put it down! I'm currently reading Illuminae!!! You're going to ADORE Furthermore! Omg

[@alexandraroselyn]

Liv’s Library thanks Liv!! And oh no!! Lol I’ve heard it’s so polarizing!!!

[@LindsNW05]

You need to read The Concidence of Coconut Cake and The City Baker's Guide to Country Living, both of those books have to do with cooking/baking and they are SO good!

[@alexandraroselyn]

girlnotgrey84 I think I have the coconut cake one!!! I haven’t read it yet but I agree I really want to!!

[@marissaanne4723]

Currently reading Crescent City House of Earth and Blood! I read Water for Elephants recently, even though it came out years ago, it’s a great read if you love historical fiction!

[@FaeryLaume]

Have you read the sequels to Chocolat? There are three, although I've only yet read one of them. ....I adored When the Moon Was Ours.

[@Kindlelover88]

I read Well Met and Red, White and Royal Blue.

[@alexandraroselyn]

Cocominga Handmade Cards loooovvved red white and royal blue❤️

[@TheBookishMom]

I still need to pick up the Starless Sea.! I'm not a big thriller reader but I want to read more! I have been wanting to try Turn of the Key because it sounds really interesting. I am trying to work my way farther into the Wheel of Time during quarantine myself.

[@garywatters11]

I love getting lost in the story of The Shadow of the Wind. Its one of my all time favourites.

[@mariem6768]

As the current situation is really stressful, I chose to read the whole Harry Potter saga for the 100th time😂😍

[@jessicawatson7360]

I always re-read then at the beginning of the yr 😍-

[@AnaandTheBooks]

i just read the turn of the key and it’s AMAZING!! also i’m currently reading night film and it’s so different than i thought it would be

[@AnaandTheBooks]

ALSO i read the kiss quotient last week why are we the same

[@alexandraroselyn]

Ana and The Books omg I just finished turn of the key and it was SO GOOD!!!!!!

[@alittlewriterem]

I REALLY want to get to The Grace Year!! Everyone I’ve seen who has read it really enjoyed it 🙏🏼 I have The Bookish Life of Nina Hill on my bookshelf and I feel like it’s going to be so relatable ✨

[@HollowMoonReads]

[@alexandraroselyn]

Mandy D2H oh!! I loved her book Love and Gelato!! You’ll have to tell me if you liked Love and Luck!!! I’d def pick that one up!!

[@mandyd2h530]

Alexandra Roselyn definitely enjoyed Love & Gelato more - it was one of my favorites I read last year - I rated Love & Luck 3 out of 5 stars. 🤷‍♀️
