your mom and bf are so sweet to get you all those books! and you will not be disappointed with ToG! 🙌🏼

I know, I’m so grateful!!!

[@kcnbt99]

I know you bought Daisy Jones but I would actually recommend listening to it! It's got multiple characters in it and everyone is voiced by a different person. It is soooo good!!!

[@scrivspo]

Omg thank you! I will listen to it!! ❤️❤️❤️

My go to saying is "I could be spending my money on drugs" when it comes to any hobby. Plus going to a bookstore to look at a few books and coming out with way.. too many is a pandemic among book lovers! & I am fully here for it even if my wallet isn't. Loved the video!!

[@scrivspo]

[@veganblunders7056]

I just finished reading How to Stop Time by Matt Haig and it was so good. The writing was so captivating I couldn't put it down, I am on a mission to read all his books now. A friend lent me The Midnight Library ages ago and I loved it, I feel like it's required reading for life

[@scrivspo]

Ooooh I’ll add that to my TBR! Midnight Library was a 3 star for me but I liked his writing, I just didn’t think the concept was super well executed!! Keen to read more of his stuff though!

The coworker by Frieda Mcfadden was EPIC. Her books are such page turners. I read 3 of her books in like two weeks (which is the most I read over the last decade)

I recently bought wool after watching the TV series. It's called Silo. The show was super good so I have high hopes for the book! I've also read Wildfire & loved it!

[@scrivspo]

I’m excited to watch the series after I read the book!!!

[@northwoodfalls1403]

Looking forward to hearing feedback on which ones you liked. I was a serious bookworm for most of my life and then life kinda got a bit bonkers and it became easier to consume podcasts then to read. I’m itching to find good books to suck me back in 😊

[@scrivspo]

oooh yay i'll include some reviews in upcoming videos!!

[@slowdownwithsamantha]

I love this booktuber era for you!! My favorite book I read most recently was the My Brilliant Friend Series by Elena Ferrante. The first book is tough to get through but each book gets better and better

[@scrivspo]

Ooh I’ve never even heard of this!!! I’ll add it to my TBR ❤️❤️

[@courtneyburgoyne5870]

Sooooo many books that are also on my TBR list! Not sure if you would ever make one or share it with us if you did, but I know I would love to follow you on GoodReads! Happy reading, bestie AND Happy Belated Birthday! ✨🎉

[@scrivspo]

Yesss I have a Goodreads, follow me @scrivspo!!! Xx

[@BatshevaDueck.]

literally went to the library TODAY to get red rising and there was a huge waiting list for it so am jealous that youre holding it. lemme know how it is!!

[@scrivspo]

It’s SO GOOD!! I have already finished lol, highly recommend

[@AprilShowers560]

I recently read another book by Maggie O’Farrell - The Marriage Portrait. It was really good, I’ll see if I can pick Hamnet up at the library. I HATED Magnolia Parks - did not finish. Ergh. Happy birthday for last week!

[@scrivspo]

I randomly really enjoyed Magnolia for entertainment value, it reminds me of reading gossip girl when I was a tween!!

[@mikaelat.6275]

Hamnet was amazing! Seriously recommend

[@arielacceptable]

Such a great haul ✨If you enjoy Bunny and/or My Year of Rest and Relaxation, I would recommend anything by Melissa Broder. Ottessa Moshfegh's other books are great too, but Lapvona isn't for the faint of heart haha. Also, to answer your question: My favourite book I read recently would probably be The Overstory by Richard Powers or Thanks for Having Me by Emma Darragh, which is a series of interconnecting short stories and vignettes.

[@scrivspo]

Ooooh thank you for the recs!!!!!

[@meredithwheeler9453]

I just started heir of fire this morning! I just finished and really loved crown of midnight, but I also read assassins blade first!

[@scrivspo]

I can’t wait!!!!!

[@MirandaBardick]

Hahahaha that’s what I always say!! Books before drugs 🫠😅😅

[@scrivspo]

So true

[@melissakerin8391]

Hamnet had some serious hype in 2023. It has been sitting on my shelf for ages too! Unfortunately I found The Dictionary of Lost Words quite slow to start and I abandoned ship, I am sure I will regret! Some great books there, happy reading 😊 Ps. Best read recently was definitely Lessons in Chemistry, so good!

[@scrivspo]

I loved lessons in chemistry! So good!!

[@kaytoomuchsalt5100]

1) Justifying a book haul by saying that you could be spending the money on drugs is such a vibe, and specifically was me this past weekend. 😂 2) I audibly cackled at your disdain for ACOFAS because honestly, same. I have a love/hate relationship with that series but ACOFAS is all hate lol. Based on what you said about the “main trilogy” getting too smutty, I’m interested to see what you think of ACOSF - it’s by far the smuttiest so far, to a degree that took me by surprise. I’m not big on smut but that book may still be my favorite in the series, if only because Nesta’s character development was pretty good, and IMO better than Feyre’s. 3) I’m trying to get back into reading after stopping for no real reason around the holidays, so the last book I read was Fourth Wing, which I was pleasantly surprised by! 4) Very excited for your booktuber era! 5) Happy belated birthday!

[@scrivspo]

I loved fourth wing too and was equally surprised!!! I am also feeling so validated that you felt the same about ACOFAS lol I just could not get into it

[@oushan24]

i’m so enjoying your booktube era omg !! my favorite book i read recently is the very secret society of irregular witches which is just cute and cozy fantasy and i devoured it also i did start reading addie larue after your last bookish video and im reading it quite slow but enjoying it nonetheless i did think that since you liked addie a lot you could really enjoy the night circus by erin morgenstern, it has very similar almost no plot just vibes story and very poetic and beautiful writing

[@scrivspo]

Omg I have added the first book to my bc a cozy fantasy sounds PERFECT for me!!

[@oushan24]

@@scrivspo it is awesome and very cute and witchy🥰 i hope you like it when you get to it!!

[@caitwoodman92]

I went absolutely feral last year buying physical books (but I read them all!) so I just invested in a kindle and have been absolutely loving it! Red Rising is downloaded but I haven’t started it just yet.. currently reading Barbarian Days and I can’t put it down.

[@mylundborg9897]

Currently re-reading Bunny, its a masterpiece if you ask me, same for My Year of rest and Relaxation. I enjoyed Throne of Glass, but don't feel any need to read the rest. But I am not really a fantasy person, I think if you are you'll really like it.

[@scrivspo]

Okay I tried SO HARD to enjoy my year of rest and relaxation but I really didn’t like it 😭😭

[@elaynejuten9084]

Emma is Jane Austen's best work!! It's so so so so good! Also highly recommend checking out the movie that recently came out within the past 5ish years! So good. I'm half way through the Throne of Glass series and have been enjoying it so far! I think my favorite book I've read recently is The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston. I related to a lot of the overarching themes and really stuck with me.

[@kcnbt99]

The Seven Year Slip has some the best depictions and handling of a certain type of grief I've ever read. I cried so hard then read a few passages to my spouse and we cried together. Truly touching

[@scrivspo]

I loved the seven year slip SO MUCH! Keen for Emma, definitely going to read it and then watch the movie!!

[@BibbyLou99]

Had to pause the vid and open Goodreads to add to the TBR so many times

Omg yayyy let me know if you end up reading any I mention!!! Would love to hear ur thoughts xx

[@kima5422]

the throne of glass series is SO GOOD, i loved it more then ACOTAR so I think you will too haha.

[@DevonElmore]

YMMV, I really enjoyed ACOTAR but Aelin just gave me too much "not like other girls"/4d chess vibes personally. I do hope Harriet enjoys it though.

[@scrivspo]

Omg I can’t wait to read it and tell you guys my thoughts!!!!

[@beepwrld]

​@@scrivspo "Ahwaahd"

[@notyou5594]

TOG is SO GOOD that I had to stop midway through the series because I had shit to do for my final thesis at uni and I kid you not, I would just read and read all day every day with no stop and certainly no interest in working on my thesis. So I finished book four and just made myself not buy the next one but read an obviously boring one instead 😂

[@scrivspo]

Omg I’m soooo happy that you love it! I genuinely can’t wait to start, I hope I get addicted like you hehe

[@jodiek3953]

if you havent already you should read 'the seven year slip' its my most recent read and instantly became one of my new favourite its a 6 star book for me. its such a comforting read, and the mmc is 👌🏼

[@scrivspo]

I have read it and loved it so so much!!! 6 stars for me too!

[@jodiek3953]

@@scrivspo it has my heart forever

[@DevonElmore]

A Court of Frost and Starlight is kind of like the "Christmas special" of the series, if that makes any sense - it's a bit of fluff in the middle of some heavy stuff. ACOSF is well worth the rest of the trek though. My favorite books I've read recently is definitely the Rook and Rose series by M. A. Carrick - it's a completed trilogy, and it has a lot of really interesting worldbuilding and two separate magic systems, plus some queer inclusivity!

[@scrivspo]

Omg that sounds like a huge slay, immediately putting it on my TBR

[@LittleMissDoobug]

I am currently working on The be Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan, it is a bit of a slog but as you go and know more about the world it draws you in more and more (on book 6 currently) I also really enjoyed the Burning Chambers by Kate Mosse (Historical Fiction) Such A Fun Age by Kiley Reid (Contemporary Fiction) was so real and well written As far as cutesy romance goes, highly suspicious and unfairly cute by Talia Hibbert, the Heart stopper series (graphic novels) and I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey Mcquinston

Buying drogs or buying book the psychological effect is the same, namely the emotions are not constant and then the books/drugs try to compensate

[@scrivspo]

Hahahaha

[@cait6811]

A Court of Silver Flames is my favorite ACOTAR b/c of how it depends Nesta’s character & the lore❤ but be warned it’s also by far the smuttiest of all the ACOTAR books - so just be warned lol Also def read Throne of Glass in whatever order you want! Personally, I read Assassins Blade dead last. It’s similar to ACOFAS in that it’s gonna be boring unless you already care about the characters. I also just didn’t want to stop the momentum of the main plot line - needed to know what happened after Crown of Midnight & Assassins Blade is a Prequel to TOG

[@scrivspo]

Ur the best, this is so helpful!!! I tried to start silver flames but immediately got bored lol. Im gunna try pick it back up when im in the headspace for it ❤️❤️

[@criscrisusk]

Goes through all the Booktok books... Then goes to Maggie O'Farrell. IT is two completely different worlds, communities in the book world. I think it is less bookstagrammable or tikotable someone who reads what "booktok reads" and what is """considered"""" more """serious""" and less ""commercial"" literature. By experience, I mean. I read both things...But on social media you just see both extremes. At least what I am impacted with. But Hamnet has been widely talked about and hyped about. Here in London it has a threate play. Not rudeness intended.
