everything i read this fall 🍁🌙📚 october & november reading wrap up (so many 4 & 5 stars)!

[@adarkcornerofthelibrary]

I feel like I am more a fan of Brandon Sanderson's standalones so I might have to pick up Warbreaker! What a great october reading month- so many cozy and fun books! Especially for it being such a hard time. I feel the same about Ninth House- it took so long to finally get going its was all over the place for most of it 😂 I just bought Hell Bent though since it seemed like it would have more of a plot 😅 O Caledonia sounds super interesting!

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Yeah I think you would enjoy Warbreaker and it’s really nice not to have any commitment beyond that, haha! Glad you agree about Ninth House and I’m not the only one who struggled… I wanted to love it and really did like the concept but just the execution was not 100% there for me! Very intrigued by Hell Bent though. And yeah I definitely recommend O Caledonia! 😊

[@Sullisreading]

Loved hearing your thoughts on one dark window!! And completely agree. I reaaally need to get into Brandon Sanderson your videos always remind me that I am clearly missing out 😂 and aww your kitty in the background! 😂 bear town is on my TBR and I didn’t know there were lots of pov’s which I love! And you’ve officially made me want to pick up butcher and blackbird 😊 this was an awesome reading wrap up!! ❤

[@LibrariesandLattes]

So glad we both loved ODW! Haha you are missing out on Brando Sando 😉😆 My cats are always acting so weird when I film!! And I hope you can read Beartown and Butcher and Blackbird and enjoy them as much as I did! Thanks for watching friend ❤️

[@ElderGoblinGames]

🎉 great books 📚 great channel 🎉

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Why thank you!! 😀📚❤️

[@Nanna_reader]

I do not know if I should try the Spellshop. I think I would feel exactly as you felt. Cozy is nice but it is not a five star 😊😊😊 One Dark window has been on my TBR for a looong time. Cannot wait ❤

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Exactly!! I have had some five star cozy fantasy books but it’s rare, usually they’re more in the 4 star range but that’s still a great experience to me so I do recommend it 😊 And yesss One Dark Window is so good!!

[@itsmimiduong]

I'd still love an hour video from ya 😂 Now I really want to start One Dark Window!! It sounds so enticing. I'm so jealous at your high rated October 😍 Especially with Beartown? Now I'm so excited as I start reading it. Though I'm only on like page 10 at this point. But I'm mainly here for your B&B review!! It was a super fun time, for sure. It was so surprising about the fact that the "TW" felt intense but Weaver did an amazing job writing it without making it gory or a huge focus on the dark aspect of those warnings. You're never a hot take. I love all your reviews and thoughts 🤣Even when you don't like books!! You go into good detail as to why, which gives me good perspective on books that I may or may not enjoy. Also thank you for saying your throat get hoarse because I thought I was the only one 🥲 By the end of all of my wrap up, I feel so winded and lose my voice 😩Sometimes, I feel like it's a me issue. But maybe our voices just can't handle talking lots if we're not used to it (aka me)

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Haha you’re so sweet, thank you!! Ahhh do it, I absolutely loved ODW and I’m reading the second book now and loving it even more! And yay for Beartown, so glad you loved it like I did. Haha I knew you would be excited for the B&B review, I’m so glad I decided to pick it up despite my fears! I think she did a great job balancing the darker elements with a more lighthearted feel, somehow 😂👏 And thank you for saying that about my reviews, I never know if they’re good or helpful so I appreciate you telling me that! And YES I feel so winded and hoarse after videos, especially wrap ups where I feel like I’m pushing through quickly! It’s a struggle for sure haha

[@BasicallyNeda]

Great wrap up. 😊"One Dark Window" Sounds interesting. I might pick it up in January, or whenever it's available on the Libby App for me. lol☺

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Thank you! I hope you’re able to read One Dark Window, it’s such a fun one that you can just fly through! Good luck with getting it soon on the Libby app, I feel like that will take a while but who knows haha

[@BasicallyNeda]

@@LibrariesandLattes Thanks ☺

[@ana.reads.epicss]

I have missed your wrap up videos! Hi friend 😊 you had such a great fall reading season and I loved hearing your thoughts on a lot of these! One Dark Window I loved too and this makes me want to reread Bear Town 😅

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Aww hi Ana, nice to hear from you!! Thanks for watching! Definitely had a great fall reading season, so glad we both loved ODW. And I get that, haha I feel like I want to keep re-reading Beartown (and also just read the rest of his books), it’s so good 😍

[@ana.reads.epicss]

@ of course! It’s been ages since I’ve been on here but it’s great to see you! I’ve gotta catch up on your videos! A lot of people are reading Bear town right now and I have fomo 😂

[@subhareadsbooks]

This was such a great wrap up video! I want to read Rewitched now! I agree that ODW is one of the most unique books! The whole synopsis is so fascinating and dark. I loved it and I'm so glad we're buddy reading TTC! I need to listen to The Third Gilmore! I don't rate memoirs either. I will be trying Ninth House again, but will not be listening to the audiobook per your suggestion. haha

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Thanks friend!! I think you would really enjoy Rewitched and The Third Gilmore Girl! And good, I’m glad I convinced you on Ninth House, haha I’m usually such an audiobook proponent but some books are just not meant for that medium 😳😂

[@BonnieNicoleWrites]

I've heard so many good things about One Dark Window and I really want to read it! It sounds so interesting! I'm so glad you liked it overall. Agreed about Backman's one-liners! Sometimes he just has these little lines or phrases where I just have to set the book down and...think. He's SUCH a good writer. I've heard such mixed things about Butcher and Blackbird. I'm kind of intrigued by it though!

[@LibrariesandLattes]

ODW is a really good one, I hope you can get to it sometime! And yes, exactly!! I don’t know how he does it but he’s a master 😍😂 Would be very curious to hear your thoughts on Butcher and Blackbird, I can definitely see why people don’t like it but somehow it just worked for me haha

[@DEBateBookz]

One dark window sounds sooo good, you’ve definitely convinced me to pick this up cos I’ve not read many gothic books but this sounds like a good introduction to one!! I’ve actually just finished watching Gilmore girls for the first time, and Emily is hilarious so I’m sooo going to try and listen!!

[@LibrariesandLattes]

It is so good, and especially for this time of year! I’m reading the second book now too and am loving it even more than ODW! 😍 And that’s so fun that you just watched Gilmore Girls for the first time, what big life event haha! Emily is great and I really enjoyed Kelly’s memoir ❤️

[@JessicasLibraryCard]

It was so fun doing the buddy read with you, and I'm so glad that you liked the Thirteenth Tale! I'm on the fence about reading the Spellshop - the cover is so pretty, but I'm not sure it would work for me.

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Agreed, so fun and so glad I read The Thirteenth Tale!! Yeah I feel you, it could go either way for you I think. There was so much hype around it that I was expecting to love it more but I still enjoyed it overall so I’d say give it a try with low/realistic expectations 😆

[@ellenmadebookclub]

I had written half a]my comment and then I accidentally started the next video as this ended 😭 Anyway! I was saying that I got HP vibes from Rewitched as well, and the ministry of magic, the sense of humor was also similar in some ways. I haven’t read as much other fantasy as you have, so I didn’t want to make that comparison, like this has magic it’s like HP 😂 but I agree the vibes were there! The second book won’t be a sequel though, it will follow another character and have a theme of people pleasing. There might some overlap, it’s the same world I think, but probably not a deep dive into the romance with Rune! I’m so happy you liked so many of the books! And it was really interesting to hear your thoughts on some of the popular books. I just filmed my wrapup and book club video on Us Against You today and I feel like I missed saying some things, but you had a lot of good points. I didn’t connect as much with the second book, but it was still good. I imagine it was different to read when you have children as well, a lot of parent aspects to the story. Glad you liked O Caledonia as well 😊

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Oh no, I hate when that happens!! I think that actually happened to me too with one of your videos and I had to write everything again from scratch! It’s hard when you write such long comments as we both do 😂 I’m glad you agree about the HP vibes in Rewitched! And not just because there’s magic haha. Ahh good to know about the sequel, that’s a little sad because I do love Rune but I’m also excited for another book of hers since I enjoyed this one so much so not that mad about it! I can’t wait for your wrap up and book club video! I feel like I miss things I want to say every time, I always think about it after having uploaded the video, haha. And yes all the parenting/children stuff in both books hit me hard for sure, especially having a daughter and imagining her in Maya’s place… And the quote from Beartown about how we can’t protect our children 😭😭💔💔 And yes O Caledonia was a pleasant surprise for sure!

[@ellenmadebookclub]

@@LibrariesandLattes So annoying! 😂 Yeah, I wasn't super invested in the romance any way, so I'm happy to see what a book would look like with a new character! I think I'm done with the wrapup so that's coming up tomorrow! 😊

[@krisreviews]

I am reading both Beartown and The Spellshop this month!!! I'm a little worried the Spellshop might be too "cutsey" for me... but we shall see 😅

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Hope you love both of those! The Spellshop is definitely cutesy so it could go either way, haha I’ll definitely be curious to hear your thoughts!

[@krisreviews]

@LibrariesandLattes can definitely go either way lol... but I'm trying to give it a fair chance 🤗
