I am now going to read the heart of a raven king, wear the same headphones, and listen to violin Taylor swift songs.

[@SaraCarrolli]

The way I was gonna message you and preach this book bc I had a feeling you’d love it

[@bruh-cg9tj]

My queens 😩🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@edenrizzo7621]

What are the other two books in the series called?

[@alliesigns8049]

Hello! I love your videos!

[@kennedymoore9964]

@@edenrizzo7621 book 1, curse of the wolf king ( beauty and the beast) book 2 is the heart of a raven prince. Book 3 is kiss of the selkie ( little mermaid) and book 4 is a taste of poison (snow white)

[@aliabobwason1]

my library does this normally 4 times a year and I haven't ever gotten a bad book. the librarian is so good at picking

[@SaraCarrolli]

Omg love that

[@cortneybowman7297]

My library does this for valentine's! I love this idea too!

[@maryam8538]

I’ve been wanting to do a ‘blind date with a book’ for the looooongessst time, this is def a sign to do it now.

[@SaraCarrolli]

Yess do it!

[@lizziejackson2529]

At my local small bookstore, the owner does this. I go in, give her a few genres or authors I like and she takes time to walk around picking out books🥺 she does an amazing job and I've never gotten a bad rec, there's just something so special about it, idk

[@florastevens863]

i love that so much ☺️

[@wateruga]

I don't know why, but whenever I see you loving a fantasy book, it's so satisfying some reason lol

[@SaraCarrolli]

😭😭😭 it doesn’t happen often but this one was so good

[@valeriebaron]

Something else that came to mind: I find it so interesting you listen to book-related music when reading books. Maybe you can do a video sometime on how you choose the music you listen to while reading and what kind of music you search for with each theme. I would definitely like to try that for myself!

[@SaraCarrolli]

Omg how fun I’d love to!

[@kirajulienne]

SUCH a cool idea. When I was younger there wasn't a book community the way there is now that you could get recommendations from (unless the book got super popular like twilight, etc.), so now we're all reading the same things lol. But its so refreshing to take a chance and read something that everyone might not know about yet and have it turn out to be an undercover gem!!

[@zachzackzak]

I'm really glad you enjoyed this experience, booktube makes me sad because everyone prioritizes what everyone else is reading instead of just picking things up

[@annie5171]

I was very surprised to see that the second book was published recently. It 100% looks like a book I would find in my moms collection from decades ago! This seemed like a ton of fun, maybe I’ll give it a go 😊

[@SaraCarrolli]

RIGHT!!!!

[@emmaturner9035]

I accidentally ran across the heart of the raven prince on my kindle and read it because of the pretty cover and I loved it just as much as you! It was fantasy without being overwhelming and I never felt like I had to force myself to read it, I flew through it so i’m so glad you like it!!

[@SaraCarrolli]

Yes!!! I’m so happy you also had that experience

[@meganpitts]

If you love Cinderella retellings you should read Cinder! It’s the first book in the lunar chronicles

[@avzcadoo1182]

THIS IS SUCH A CUTE IDEAAAA LOVE IT

[@annabelle4583]

it might almost be 2 in the morning but your videos are still 100% worth staying up

[@adive5717]

seeing as u really liked Heart of the Raven Prince i HIGHLYYY recommend Cinder (the Lunar Chronicles), it's a cinderella retelling but in a sci-fi kind of set up and i think you'll really like it + it's the first part of a series so if u like this book u can read the rest of the series as well

[@SaraCarrolli]

Yes!!! Someone else recommend this series! I need to get it

[@julliannacarmona6206]

I’m currently reading this series and it’s honestly so goodddd

[@Becksnnc]

I dnf'd Cinder honestly. It just didn't click with me. I didn't really like it. Got about 150 pages in and had to stop. It was putting me in a slump.

[@nikkiallen3799]

Yessss, I love The Lunar Chonicles! 😍😍😍😍😍

[@Showtunediva]

@@SaraCarrolli I would second this recommendation for Cinder. I just finished it 3 days ago and I loved it.❤

[@sofi7053]

sara you’re killing it with the uploads!!! i would love to see more fall related videos

[@SaraCarrolli]

If u have any fall video ideas let me know! Id love to!

[@sarahfaith822]

honestly I really love hearing thoughts about books people don't love, I like hearing the analysis of why!

[@livelaughslay2633]

Idk why I had a feeling since the beginning you’d end up loving the fantasy 😂 I really wanna read it now!!

[@lallin2159]

The pure joy I get from seeing you posted >>>> ❤️

[@jad01268]

thank you sm for giving me a fantasy/ romance rec it sounds SO GOOD and even the southern romance. i totally believe going into a book blind makes the experience sm better bc u don't hv someone else's thoughts in the back of ur mind while reading. this was another great vid and i loved how long it was lol

[@austintsulilohi]

Love this idea! I wish my local bookstore had Blind Dates With A Book! Maybe I’ll have to suggest they do that! The pink paper is so cute. I’ll have to check out that Etsy store’

[@SaraCarrolli]

Yess it was so fun!

[@Laura.Marise]

Such a fun concept! Love the way you describe all the books so well❤

[@hazelina123]

Ur reading vlogs always bring comfort and joy😇😄 the lipstick shade is so pretty on u! pls do a grwm makeup/ur top fav lipsticks video too😍😊

[@nehaa6587]

I was literally waiting for you to post a video today . They make me so happy.

[@deborah_douez]

You update my TBR CONSTANTLY 💕

[@rodsitamara]

[@valeriebaron]

I really like your videos and this one was so cozy and fun, loved it!

[@gabby478]

Your videos are always great to watch in a book slump!!!

[@allier1940]

This was such a fun video and a great idea! I love looking at the blind date with a book table at my Barnes and Noble. They often have a few choices, but not all the time.

[@mansoor3159]

Hey! Sara your vlogs are too too too too peaceful watch and I really love to read books so so much you inspired me so so much and I will support you till end ✨😊💞

[@aryssaebbeler4316]

i recommend the perfect child. i’m reading it now and i started cause someone compared in to verity and i’m absolutely loving it! depending on the ending, it might be in my top favorite thrillers

[@zoeodom9632]

Heart of the Raven Prince in one of my favorite books! Its one of my comfort reads

[@sitara1250]

This is such a cool idea! I've been in a reading slump lately, and I feel like this could help. I'll have to check my local bookstores! Loved the video! 💙

[@cassiemcadams4368]

I'm doing the same thing right now with the not looking on Goodreads! I picked up a book from my local thrift store it looked intriguing I have never seen or heard anything about it. I started it this morning and I've been so tempted to get on Goodreads and look it up but I keep telling myself no just read it for yourself!❤️

[@madhvisharma27]

i like this idea a lot it’s so smart and unique

[@---ot1ui]

Thanks for sharing your experience, I really liked the concept ! 📖👏😍

[@bubbleclayshop8780]

Loved this video so fun definitely going to read heart of a raven king now!! ❤

[@sarahcastaneda3429]

Sooo cute! I've been wanting to do a blind date with a book for a while but haven't had the guts to do it but now I'm excited! I've also been wanting to read Heart of the raven prince for a while! I'm so happy you read it now I can grab it!

[@JustAli]

Ahhh I love blind dates with books!! The fantasy book you got sounds SO good. Adding Heart of the Raven Prince to my tbr immediately

[@SaraCarrolli]

YES!!!! You need to read it

[@micahkelley6204]

This video was so fun! Now u got me wanting to read the retelling series😁

[@mrswishing8413]

Ok this was so cute love that you loved the last book

[@alisonmolina6794]

I love books that have maps also! Patricia Briggs does this in her Mercy Thompson series and it’s awesome cause it’s based on a real area near where I live and it was exciting to read! ❤

[@imeneblm7024]

I’ve been waiting for thisss🎉🎉🎉

[@cammyebel2494]

I saw the third book and I was like YES. so good.

[@squidwardtentacles7144]

That's crazy! I was literally reading a comment that suggested that you do this type of video yesterday and here you are today doing the video. Wild!😯

[@marg9784]

Ugh I love Cinderella retellings ❤️ new book for my tbr!

[@Puty0urlipstick0n]

The concept is so cool

[@slugbug229]

I have been wait for someone to make a video like this!

[@paytonhenderson7307]

This was my favorite video yet!!

[@bashs.bookshelf]

Love this video! I went and saw all the books apart of the Entangled with Fae series are on Kindle Unlimited so I will be reading them.

[@talkingtomyshelf]

[@arielmarie8493]

I've never done this before and I'm tempting on doing it trying something different ❤️

[@Emmaline-c]

Your Harry poster is my favorite thing ever. ❤🥳💖🌺

[@laurengerkovich2423]

I've seen a lot of books from Tessonja Odette and have wanted to check them out. The covers are always so pretty too.

[@jamyamoline5510]

Your first rating is exactly why I could never blindly buy a book. I like having control 😭😭😭

[@kailat7850]

I don’t know if you’ve read any more Tessonja Odette books since but they’re all such feel good HEA Fae books!! You don’t have to read any of them in order but it’s so much fun to! She’s definitely my favorite author for feel good romantasy. The sleeping beauty retelling is so so good

[@Peachblossom4711]

Cinderella is also my fave and I’m here for it every time lol and i second that to Hillary duff and a Cinderella story 😂 I’ll watch it a million times

[@itsnoterica]

That fantasy book sounds so good definitely adding to my TBR! I’ve always been so scared of these blind dates w a book bc I’m such a mood reader but this made me really wanna try it out

[@SaraCarrolli]

Same!!! It was so fun though

[@dreamer626]

I have seen the Blind date with the books at Barnes and Noble and I always wanted to try one. Maybe this video is a sign. I'll try it the next time I am at Barnes and Noble. Thanks Sara! 😄

[@_lorie]

Haven't watched the video yet but excited for these long vlogs. What a great idea for a video. Edit: Tessonja Odette's other books are available on kindle unlimited 😉

running to get the heart of a raven king. omg🙊🙉💓 I am a huge disney princess fan!

[@oliviadempewolf2565]

*instantly adds heart of the raven king to tbr*

[@elizagrey5006]

I get the Harlequin small romance books when i’m in a slump bc some of them are cheesy but they’re very easy to read & take your mind off of the “popular” books! plus they’re like $5 each! I get the hesitance though! :)

[@SaraCarrolli]

Ur right!!! I need to try more

you're one of my favorite comfort youtubers love you queen

[@SaraCarrolli]

Yay!!! I hope you love it!!

[@ahandling9182]

I’m gonna try the fae princess retelling series and I get a feeling I’m going to binge it ALSO I’d highly recommend the Lunar Chronicles!!! It’s the same concept of fairy tale retellings (Cinderella, Rapunzel, etc.) with a fantasy sci/fi romance twist

[@SaraCarrolli]

Omg thank u!!!! I need to look into those

[@brooklynnbunch5186]

@@SaraCarrolli Yes! One of my favorite series ever and it gets so good as it continues!

[@hexi_orwtv]

this makes me sooo excited. I just picked up a blind book from Barnes and nobles and I'm excited to read it, but I just needed a push and the push was this video.😭😭 the book was kind of compared to avatar the last Airbender which made me pick up the blind book,,, and also love your videos !

Omg love that!!!

Actually I am currently read this woven kingdom but was in a major book slump...Plusjust finished my exams so I needed to get excited to read so I was watching you...Thank you..😊

[@tibbarasden]

I will have to keep Heart of the Raven Prince in mind as it sounds like I would enjoy it a lot. I really like mystery books. I just read The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov which was a B&N mystery book. It was something I would have never read otherwise and I actually really enjoyed it.

[@yanna.patricia]

LOVEEEE THE VID 😊😊❤

You should read "Remember me always" by Renee Collins it had me second guessing my life, I would do anything to read it for the first time again and it has the best plot twist at the end.

[@jenniferperry8038]

I just looked up the Cinderella retelling on Amazon. The whole series in on kindle unlimited!

[@incubeautee]

Ahh next time you gotta get a blind date with a book that has a little description written on the front so you can kind of make your choice based off of that. Also, I recommend reading Things We Do in the Dark by Jennifer Hillier - I had so much fun reading this thriller.

[@SaraCarrolli]

I know 😭 next time!!! It was so fun
