[@sumaiyyamy3953]

Hiii Alexa Loved the vlog ❣️❣️ So exited for your future reading vlogs 🤩

[@mxsyra8127]

Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi is an AMAZING and excellent book! It contains some romance with the main character and fantasy! I rate it a five star!

[@darlenewallace8469]

I like new books nice to reaf

[@darlenewallace8469]

I like our new books got they are nice

[@typical.bellaa]

One of my favorite things about being a reader is going book-shopping, even if I don't read half the books I buy, it's so worth it

[@lil9784]

🌟📚Y U S 📚🌟

[@alexaraye]

Omg yesss!! 😂😂

[@frankoceanstalker]

one of us is lying is so good. there's different perspectives and it's amazing. they bash together so well

[@alexaraye]

I’m excited!! 🤩

[@oorinxx]

Ooo, i have been wanting to read it but i already watched the netflix series. How different is the book to the series?

[@frankoceanstalker]

@@oorinxx to be honest not that different, but the book is better

[@Lemonadzz_]

@@oorinxx both are really good but with the book I kind of imagined the characters to look a lot more different then the actors on the Netflix series.But overall they are pretty similar.

[@maggiefoster595]

you may already know this but you didn’t mention it in the video - you should read it happened one summer BEFORE hook, line, and sinker. it’s kinda like a series

[@alexaraye]

Yes!! Thank you so much 🥰

[@am13007]

They can also be read as stand alones though. Piper and Brendan's story doesn't really influence Fox and Hannah's

[@user-wc6bl4zs4i]

I was just about to buy hook line and sinker so that k you!

[@lauramoreira9044]

You should make a “all the books on my tbr that I haven’t bought yet” video! I’m curious to see all the books you want to buy next! Also love your videos soo much!!!

[@alexaraye]

Yes!! I love that idea! Thank you 💖

[@paula.2119]

I love bookstore vlogs in general, but yours have a special place in my heart. They're so comforting

[@alexaraye]

That makes my heart so happy 🥹💖💖

[@isabelamarshall7408]

When I tell you I love going to bookstores! The aesthetic and the vibe is so peaceful. Also getting Starbucks while Picking out your books it’s amazing!! 🤍

[@hazal_97]

I smiled like an idiot when she bought shatter me!! I can’t explain my love for this book/series but the first book might be a little boring as per other people but I swear it gets better with every next book. Just keep reading Alexa you won’t regret it. Also I am obsessed with your channel❤️

[@alexaraye]

Thank you so much 🥹🥹💖

[@MariamRizvi]

Your bookstore vlogs are elite - I love that you literally posted a bookstore vlog back to back - that is me going to the bookstore every week lol!

[@alexaraye]

Thank you so much 😭💖💖

[@miafowles.7553]

Shatter me is amazing!! Couldn’t put it down, it definitely hooks you in as the series continues!

[@maddyreads2783]

It happened one summer is soooo good! Read that one before hook line and sinker :)

[@alexaraye]

Okay!! I’m soooo excited 🥰

[@Ali_lamb]

My fave upload ever nothing beats a book shop and you picked up so many good books one of us is lying is so dman good I loved that book!! Cannot wait to hear your thoughts on them all! Also this vid could not come at a more perfect time trapped home with covid!

[@alexaraye]

Oh I’m so excited!! 🤩

[@lynnesmutonga3652]

I went book shopping on monday and this makes me wanna go for shopping again😍😍😍😍

[@rain8512]

Something else about Dance of Thieves that I think you might like is that there are different pov’s and it’s really cool to see how the characters react vs how they really think or appear

[@alexaraye]

Ooo I’ll have to pick that one up next time!!

[@toyo.saketoba]

I really love your bookstore vlogs! My genre isn’t romance but I love watching your videos because the music and vibe just gets me! 🥰💕💖

[@marissabracley3484]

Obsessed with the Tessa Bailey duo!!!

[@alexaraye]

I’m so excited!! 🤩

[@Consuelogil.20]

If anyone is looking for books to read, most likely a series, read the Selection series if you haven’t. Its so good, I recommend it!

[@sophiariccardi9676]

i just found your channel recently and im falling in love with your personality and videos!! love youuu💓🫶

[@alexaraye]

[@jessicajohnson1802]

I always love to watch book hauls but something about your book hauls makes me feel so happy🥰 I just went to Barnes and Noble last weekend but this makes me want to go back again.

[@alexaraye]

That makes my heart so happy 🥹🥹💖

[@aminahofset313]

i love your energy! also this video was so fun

[@ileykaye2689]

Literally I hear every booktuber say they love paper back, and I’m so glad you agree hardback is better!! Paperback folds easy and I just hate it-

[@alexaraye]

YES I AGREE!!

[@svftystrange]

hardback is so much better than paperback books

[@sweetestaphrodite]

Yeah but you can bend paperbacks and flip through them so smoothly 😔 Hardbacks are lovely, but paperbacks are classic

[@pietoliw7678]

Your intros are literally the cutest EVER

[@alexaraye]

Thank you 😭😭💖

[@lina.laura.isabelle]

It's 7 AM in Germany and there's no better way to start the day ♥️

[@chocolateoreo6489]

I love your intro and just your videos in general (: love book shopping videos!

[@alexaraye]

Thank you so much 🥹

[@burgundycoleman7355]

Read it happened one summer, then read hook, line, and sinker by the way!

[@alexaraye]

Okay!! Thank you 🥰

[@wowzmdawg]

ugh i love these kinds of videos ❤️ and i’m exactly the same way lol whenever i go to barnes and noble i have to look through the entire store 😭

[@Jordan_throws1]

I read Shatter Me in one day! IT WAS SO AMAZING! I stayed away from it for a long time but I’m so happy I bought it! It was just a really good read for me!

[@alexaraye]

Aw yay!! That makes me excited!!

[@mariyajaveedkhan159]

Is it slow or fast paced?

I can’t get enough of your bookstorevlogs!! You and your videos make my day great!!!🌷🌸✨🙃

i love this so much! definitely a comfort watch!

[@alexaraye]

Thank you 🥰

[@isabellarayball7412]

Hi! I love your videos! PS I think the it happened one summer book is a series with Hook Line and Sinker and I would recommend reading It Happened one summer before Hook Line and Sinker as it just makes more sense that way!

[@alexaraye]

Thank you for letting me know!! I’m so excited!!

[@jersey_peterson]

You should do a reading vlog for shatter me! I would love to see your reactions on all the books, the first one isnt the best but it gets better! One of my FAV Series 💕

[@alexaraye]

Absolutely!! 🥰

[@jersey_peterson]

@@alexaraye ahhhh 💕💕💕

[@MeeriMimosa]

I am now on the last novella of Shatter Me series and i love it! My favourite character is Kenji

ive been binging these bookstore vlogs in order to cope knowing i dont have enough money rn to actually go to b&n myself

[@ginny9394]

Ahhh thank you!! This is very helpful! I have read Shatter Me, I couldn’t put it down but tbh after I read the second book in the series, I wasn’t too happy w it. So I just stopped!! I love your reading style! Totally my reading style as well!! I love your channel! Ily 💜💜

[@alexaraye]

Aww!! I’m excited to start the series, I hear such great things about it 🥰

[@ginny9394]

@@alexaraye I think you’ll enjoy it. They’re are so many books so be prepared!! Xoxo

[@elizakull4292]

I just read one Italian summer and it was soo good!!! The best vibes in that book!!

[@marialondonooo]

it happened one summer and hook line and sinker are literally the only rom com books ive read so far that werent cringe and they had me giggling like crazy the whole time it happened one summer was 5 stars for me and hook line and sinker was a 4 stars for me but nonetheless they are amazing and i dont know if its because i read it happened one summer at the beach and it really gave me that summer vibe so maybe thats why it was 5 stars??? honestly idk but i love them

[@hollyk2822]

I love watching your B&N haul videos!! It makes me want to skip work today and go myself. 😂 Also, I wanted to recommend Abby Jiminez books to you...she writes romance. I would recommend reading them in order because some characters carry over and there would be spoilers. So, start with The Friend Zone! (But, my favorites are Happy Ever After Playlist and Part of Your World!!) 💗

[@alexaraye]

Aw!! Thank you so much lovey!! I’ll definitely check it out 🤩🥰💖

[@lily0987]

this is a sign for me to go to the bookshop for the fourth time this month ☺️

Hi lovey!! 🥰✨

[@avadeleon7811]

I'm tryin get into reading!! It's so hard😫 I think I don't like reading because I was always made fun of for being a 'bad' reader. Also your so pretty!!🥰

[@JuneauGTW]

Reading is a personal activity. It's like scrolling your feed, or playing with your pets. No one can tell you that you are "doing it wrong", or "doing it too slow". Also, if you're an adult, just sit down anywhere, pop that book open, and start reading. Oh! Also also, you may struggle because you haven't found a series you truly truly love. It's like watching a movie. If you have little interest in what's on the TV you aren't going to be invested in finding out what's going to happen next. I love horse-and-sword fantasy and monster hunter type high fantasy, but I would never be able to trudge through my wife's "Oh I love you, but... I cannot!" type romantic fantasy series, and I think she'd slip into a coma trying to read what I read.

[@rlima2024]

This makes me want to go book shopping again!! I'm so excited for you.

[@rlima2024]

Ooh also One of Us is Lying, is SUCH a good book! I've read it about 4 times, I'm absolutely in love with it.
