[@chelsealee144]

I recently read dune and absolutely loved it! Definitely recommend taking your time and having the glossary opened on an ipad or something beside you so you don’t have to keep flipping! And also quinn’s idea’s spoiler free videos on youtube that helped me visualise it better! ✨

[@megan-tl3lz]

We need an updated bookshelf tour omg! I know they’re a ton of work but from what I can see your shelves are so stunning and I need a closer look haha. Loved this video and I’m so glad you’re back

[@SP0R1C]

✨✨ I 100% love your whole vibe & aesthetic. I just really found out about book-tube (crazy, I know). & Happened upon your channel, but there are so many books in this video that I want to read, and didn’t even know existed.

[@lilacchocolate]

A really good haul!!! 📚✨👏☺️ Got a few of these on my wishlist but did pick up The Maidens earlier this year, which I can't wait to get to!!! ✨💕

[@RachaelsLibrary]

This video makes me happy. Your smile is contagious. I love the background. So neat and clean. I'm subscribing instantly💕

[@HarvestLockwood]

The Seven Realms series is my favorite Young Adult Fantasy series, and I never see anyone talk about it, or its sister series, on Booktube, so I'm SO excited to see it being talked about in this video!

[@lisahansen6196]

You are so sweet! Major cottage core vibes! Can’t wait to read some of these! ✨

[@alorainautumn]

I’m so happy to have your videos to look forward to again ✨🍄

[@YouFoundMarina]

Silver in the Wood was one of the best books I've ever read. Just so much magic and great writing packed into such a small book! ✨

[@GinaLuciaReads]

I absolutely loved Lore. It is a more modern setting but it was excellent. I wish I had the back cover edition, it's gorgeous! I'm a huge Mythology fan, loved seeing your haul.

[@forestspirit7152]

Yay! ✨✨ So many good books here! Can't wait for the reading vlogs, if you do them 😁

[@directedbylola]

I’m IN LOVE with your hair!!

[@socratesandstorybooks1109]

I just found your channel! You seem so kind and I have the same reading taste (except add more classics). Im so excited to watch more of your videos ❤ 🌻

[@Books_BrewsandBeyond]

This was a great haul Kalyn- such a wide variety of awesome books. I hope you enjoy them all especially the new releases. Amari and the night brothers was a fantastic book. I'm thinking of getting Vespertine from my local book store soon. I read Aru Shah and the end of time recently and I absolutely loved it- it came out as a five star middle grade back when I read it. I also read Dune back in early September and it came out as a 5 star read- it was unputdownable, immersive and overall a fantastic read with a unique world and intriguing characters throughout the book and definetely a good idea to read the original. 🎇

[@milkcloudsanguino357]

Lmao i thought this was such a popular book,at least a lot of the readers i know have read it and liked it .I'm yet to read it,but there are so many books i want to get to my tbr never seems to slim down.

[@messyatbestx]

@@daydreamer5608 I have at least 10 books on hand at the minute but my TBR keeps piling higher 😂

[@daydreamer5608]

@@messyatbestx such a MOOD!!I used to be the kind of person that only reads one book at a time but because of High school i started reading multiple at a time and now I can't live without having a couple started for different moods/times of day also in different formats,because i couldn't pay attention to audiobooks in the past but i kept trying and now I'm basically reading nonstop(except when sleeping) yet i feel overwhelmed by the amount of books i want to read but won't be able to get to.. :(( If you are into thrillers pls give me some recs ,those are my favorites

Yay! Falling kingdoms is finally on someone’s book haul! I LOVED the series, like LOVED!!! The characters are so fun to read about, it’s also a very slow burn enemies to lovers it’s a few characters. Honestly, if you like Sara J Maas, you will LOOOOVE this series so much. If you like fantasy you will probably love it too! It’s such an underrated series and I’m happy to see someone that bought it!

[@meagansouza8213]
