[@1005sophiaw]

If you didn’t love A Court of Mist and Fury, I don’t think you are going to like the 3rd book, which is even longer. I’m personally obsessed and highly recommend the series, but the 3rd book is very focused on the fantasy politics and battle scenes. So if you just don’t enjoy fantasy that much, might not be for you!

[@lozanosa89]

I just was about to say the same!

[@LeaNezz]

the third was my favorite

[@beebooker11]

I would say the same. The second was my favorite and I absolutely love Reese. He’s one of my favorite male characters of all time.

[@autumnbell9596]

girl ur book recs literally single-handedly restarted my reading era! i trust ur reviews sm!

[@chi2om]

For acotar, if you didn't end up obsessed after the second book, then you shouldn't bother with the rest lol. Book 2 is the general favorite. Others love book 4.

[@cyacrystal]

You are one of the reasons I started my reading era last year! 🙌🏼 loving the book content so much 💓

[@ririrodriguez3395]

I love the variety your book content adds to your vlogs Brooke 🙌🏽👍🏽🩷

[@nikkidorahh]

The way I had my amazon open throughout the whole video! You are truly my main source of book recommendations!! Can't wait to add some of these to my TBR lists this year!🥰

[@emmaakinyi9399]

You are serving us goodness this year,, was really waiting for this review.. ❤❤❤

[@Jackietcs1]

I loved this video! Keep the book content coming this year 🤩

[@Gbaby2323.]

This video was SO GOOD! I started reading because of you and I love getting new recs. Thank you 🙌🏼❤️

[@taylorrrr03]

you are honestly the reason I started reading! I get all my books from your recs

[@christinecavazos8878]

Love all the book recs! Have been writting down all the five star recommendations and then checking if they have them at my local library ❤

[@mackenziecox3468]

You should read more Jodi Picoult! Most of her books follow a similar structure so if you like one you’ll probably like the rest. Almost every one of her books is 5 stars for me. I especially recommend Small Great Things, Nineteen Minutes, and House Rules.

[@lillyschirmer7904]

Keep the book content coming, I’m loving it!!

[@allesae]

love love love this kind of recap! thank you

[@LifeWithBethy]

LOVE this video! Thank you so much for more recs!

[@samjosal]

[@katie76433]

I love this video! Can’t wait for the 2024 book reviews!

[@gracelauren2188]

Love this! Will definitely be picking up a few of these 🥰

[@Flourishinglydifferent]

Literally been waiting for this!!

[@kristinamarkovic657]

[@Artist7201]

I read tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow because of you and it’s one of my all time favorites! such a gorgeous book

[@allisarose]

This was so helpful I can’t wait to read some of these 👏🏼

[@judykhaleck8034]

Hey random question for anyone in the comments section who would like to answer. Have you guys ever heard of an influencer name Alexa Luria? She is from Boca Raton, Florida and currently she lived in Los Angeles, California. She has a foodie account called Girl With A Gourmet Palate. 🦋 💚😋🤤 🌱 🍵 ☕️

[@kaitlynk1660]

LOVED the Great Alone too!! I read it because of your rec and also gave it 5 stars!! :)

[@iralyn]

LOVE THE BOOK CONTENT!!!! YES QUEEN! PLZ do a reading vlog !!!!!! WOULD LOVEEEEEE

[@KennedyLeonard]

Omg thank you for keeping the number in the corner the whole time makes it so easy to skip around to the books I read!! LOVEDDDD mad honey but my book club hated ??

[@jasminecarr2256]

Yesss booktuber Brooke ❤️❤️❤️

[@Sunnyside810]

LOVE this!!!!! Thank you for taking the time to do this. Kristin Hannah is one of my faves, I love the nightingale. Iron flame was awful, def disappointed.

[@marccolomayt82094]

omg im enjoying this! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@oliviagscherzer]

I love your book videos!! a fun video idea is you could work with other KZbinrs and y’all give each other recs and you have to read them?? Just a fun idea!!

[@kaydeedevine5870]

Not me looking these all up on my local library app 😅 loved this!

[@kalisue6573]

Love this! We read pretty similar books. Not typically a fantasy reader too, and ACOTAR also still wasn’t hitting for me after book 2- but I’m going to read fourth wing for the good time. I enjoyed define rivals if you haven’t read that, but it’s YA.

[@chi2om]

Book 2 of Divine Rivals recently released too

[@user-bd4kj1gu2j]

Ive been so looking forward to this video! I commented on Tiktok about it

[@joannagipson12]

I want to read "Pineapple Street ", and the one that was set in Alaska. Thank you Brooke ❤ Excellent job 🌟

[@biancagorospe8706]

Love the book content from you, Brooke!

[@kerrim3656]

I’m so excited you got a kindle so I can get some kindle unlimited recs from you! My favorite kindle unlimited books from last year were: The knockemount series (3 books in total) by Lucy Score The quarry girls by Jess Lourey To love Jason Thorne and then the sequel To hate Adam Connor by Ella Maise Call it what you want by Alyssa Derogate

[@laurencurry7002]

i’m finishing up The Great Alone now !(: i have like 100 pages left i’ve really enjoyed it. i got this book after my family went on an alaskan cruise last summer and i finally got around to reading it! makes me want to go back!

[@courtperk11]

I take a lot of your reading recs, so excited to add a few more from this roundup. My favorite book of 2023 was one I found in a little free library that I'd never heard of but sounded interesting... The Scent Keeper by Erica Bauermeister. I think you'd enjoy it!

[@gretchenmeyer2753]

I loved adelaide!! Definitely so sad but honestly so authentic and relatable

[@ShannonLeah279]

If you like thrillers I highly suggest Lisa Gardener starting with Crash and Burn. OMG! Thanks for the book reviews.

[@inthepinkvlogs]

I read Winter in Paradise by Elin Hilderbrand last year and I plan on reading the next two in the trio this year. It’s basically a thriller set in the Virgin Islands with lots of family drama, you’d probably like it too.

[@brookemiccio]

read this in 2022, loved it!

[@caffeinatedreader_]

Would love to see more Brooke book videos 😂📚

[@foofeuh]

discovered Adelaide bc of you and totally agree that it is a beautiful book :')

[@florabedinger9322]

Are you going to preorder Kristin Hannah’s new book that comes at next month? I’m excited for it!

[@mandysines8371]

RAN to watch this… thank you!! 🤎 also where’s the necklace from in this? Been looking for one like this 🥹

[@mandysines8371]

ALSO - finish ACOTAR Brooke!!!!

[@brookemiccio]

It’s from van cleef!!!

[@karissawidder9538]

We don’t deserve you Brooke, this is so good!!!!

[@mandym6781]

Loved this video! I read Mrs. Everything by Jennifer Weiner last year and I feel like you would really like it!

[@kaitlynk1660]

Some of my favorite reads of the year were Lessons in Chemsitry, Big Little Lies, and Thursday Murder Club!

[@EmilyP-jt2et]

What were your thoughts on “The Villa” by Rachel Hawkins? I saw you had it in the background. I loved it, and thought it was similar vibe to Daisy Jones & The Six.

[@ninafernandez3913]

I read Mad honey as per your rating on insta and I didn't finish it because it was so dragging. Also, it felt like 50% of the book is all about bee keeping which I'm not sure if it is necessary for the storyline since I didn't finish it. Agree with Freida Mcfadden books. I love them because they are quick reads.

[@LeaNezz]

i liked the Crescent City series more than ACOTAR from sarah j maas. love the book recaps!

[@cynthialeaf8358]

So excited to start fourth wing

[@karinaz8756]

Uggg- I’m still on the fence about getting a Kindle. I love the feeling of a book but that’s A LOT to store. Can’t pull the plug just yet. Definitely some good tittles.

[@leahbarton6680]

I would love to see an updated jewellery video, or at least your daily pieces.

[@npl71598]

I get all my book recs from you!!

[@bethz5156]

Love this for the content but wow I can’t believe you didn’t like ACOTAR but loved fourth wing! Anyone who watches this, keep going on A court of thornes, my favorite series of all time!

[@katiedale96]

I’ve been waiting for this video for so long!! Thank you for making it- I took notes while watching it and I have a great new list to read through now ❤ you’re the best ✨

[@ilovepalmtrees08]

Did you get a new editor? The editing looks different and good!!

[@brookemiccio]

Still Janna - she’s the best!

[@Libbbbssss]

I suggest The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. It is incredible, I read it, waited a month and read it again which is something I have never done before!!

[@brookemiccio]

read this the year before - so good!!

[@laurabachmann4538]

If you want to try Jodi Picoult again read Small Great Things. It is about an African American labor and delivery nurse who is told by a White Aryan couple to not care for their baby. Well a situation happens and huge repercussions follow. It is so beautifully written!

[@chi2om]

Ohh you must have finished it this year. I wanted to know your rating for Haunting Adeline

[@liviu589]

nice video brooke

[@CaitlynLorraine1013]

Brooke! You should read the Silent Patient if you havent already!

[@GwendolynKensinger]

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow was my favorite book of 2023!

[@meganlamont3072]

YES on Greenwich Park... it dragged so much that I didn't even care what happened at the end.

[@Billy33753]

Looking to read more books about the newest apple products

[@Bronnybronny]

We have such different taste in books. I like fantasy, I can read thriller, but not obsessed with romcoms. However I’m SO picky with fantasy. Hashtag, don’t like acatar. But I may give it another go!

[@alliestinnett2135]

My Sisters Keeper by Jodi Picoult made me a fan of her writing. You’ve probably watched the movie but still give the book a chance if you want a sad but endearing and empowering book. the ending of the book is a bit different from the movie and you get more description than the movie. Give Jodi one more chance 😢

[@PrincessJacklyn333]

Clicked on this so fast!!

[@judykhaleck8034]

Highly recommend for you Terri Cole 📚 and Fourth Wing! 📖 📚

[@jillbrigham7606]

Curious- why buy so many books vs the library?

[@brookemiccio]

I love to build a collection and lend to family/friends ❤️ it’s so special to me

[@morganwebb3091]

Try out some Grady Hendrix if you like thrillers!! I’ve loved his work, one of my fav authors in 2023 🙂

[@TaliaLea]

YOU KNOW IM TAKING NOTES ✍🏻✍🏻✍🏻

[@ashraecha18]

tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow is my favorite book of all time!

[@courtneylane1856]

Honestly the fifth book in ACOTAR series was my fave

[@SophieKaufman-xc5ce]

You should read the nix by Nathan hill. Really liked it!

[@kells11290]

I also stopped reading ACOTAR after the second book 😬

[@kaiaturner3392]

read throne of glass! it's another sarah j maas series. it's so incredible i like it so much more than acotar which i found to be super boring!

[@GabbyHuizinga]

I'm reading the final ACOTAR book right now and I definitely think it's worth it to continue the series! The third book especially really wraps up a lot of loose ends and made me want to go back and re-read the first two. The novella and final book are definitely optional but I enjoyed the novella and currently enjoying A Court of Silver Flames.

[@bfoz]

Do you only read fiction?

[@RuthWong01]

Book 3 of ACOTAR is so good but if you didn’t like book 2 then idk

[@typicallegends6683]

Seven Year Slip?!

[@laupc19]

I read tomorrow tomorrow and tomorrow. Was very excited because everyone love it and I just didn’t like it, the characters were so unlikevable and I couldn’t stand Sadie, it was not for me jajaja and I did start reading Elin hiderbrand books for you recommendations.

[@cm_sings1234]

Love ACOTAR but it's definitely an investment into the world, but so worth it.

[@kaitlynk1660]

If you loved Mad Honey, HIGHLY recommend Small Great Things and The Book of Two Ways by Jodi Picoult!!! :) loved this video!!

[@judykhaleck8034]

Have you ever heard of an influencer name Courtney Chipolone? She is from Boca Raton, Florida. 🏖 🏝 🕶 😎

[@tiannaconnelly8337]

I just don't think you're a fantasy girly, and that's completely okay!!! Everyone has their groove, and life's too short to read books you don't enjoy 🤗

[@alena4ever123]

No BIPOC books? Ofc….😞

[@pattibonanno547]

I never quest right🥸

[@paytonturkeltaub4720]

Normal people isn’t British

[@emmaakinyi9399]

😂😂You can't rank your children,,

[@kendallsmith5416]

I literally was on your channel yesterday looking for book recommendations 💛
