can't wait for everyone who watches this video to add the world gives way to their tbrs 😌💗

[@kaleyburchette]

it’s been added 🫡

[@hazel-marie]

Mine too 😀

[@Anna2187_]

Same 🫡

[@danawoodley5219]

I added it, but also many others from video, too. Great Recs.

[@Ashley-my2vu]

Requested from the library immediately

[@marissalevien5232]

This gives me all the warm fuzzies to know how much you liked The World Gives Way. I am honored. ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you SO much for featuring it on your channel!!!

[@RileyMarie_]

Thank you for writing such a beautiful story!!! 💗

[@ashcraft555]

I hope you replied to the librarian thanking them and linking this video! They clearly put a lot of thought into their choices and did an excellent job of choosing books that fit your requests.

[@kyra8138]

This was such a fun video! People always tend to think that their local libraries won't give them good recommendations for books but what people need to be reminded about is that librarians are readers too and half the time they're also consuming the same book media (booktube, booktok, etc.) we are.

[@sarareads9185]

I always love these videos. You should totally do another one where you read Maddie's backpacks in full. It would be interesting to see what her batting percentage would be.

[@reading_faerie]

18:03 time to go to the library and tell Maddie that she’s literally amazing 😂

[@welldonebooks]

my library does the best recommendations like that too!! librarians rule. also definitely adding The world gives way based on your and sara's endorsements!! and my Libby has The Mythic Dream - that lineup of authors is amazing!

[@calliesmith1303]

City of Ember was definitely my 'sci-fi awakening' as a child. I ate that shit up. I feel like not many people read in when they were young but if they did they now love reading.

[@darkestbelle_]

Riley seeing the part of you reading the ending of the world gives way brought me too tears cause I felt the emotions all over again when I finished the book in January now I’m sitting here just crying 😭

[@RileyMarie_]

I get emotional every time I think about it

[@maryambatool7127]

i lovee that two of my favourite booktubers are good friends IRL. Fantastic video as always.

[@rw6333]

Just found your channel and was happy to see that you reviewed One Dark Window - it’s on my May TBR and am looking forward to reading it myself 😊

[@JanaMorgen]

I’m obsessed with that pink blush shirt and your make up at the end so good!! And Sara’s pick is totally going on my tbr

[@ChemicalPenguinn]

I was literally just watching one of Sara's videos!

[@cocobarnes8634]

This was so fun to watch! I immediately added The Mythic Dream and The World Gives Way. 🙌🏻😍

[@Daisymayspeaks]

I was obsessed with city of ember.

[@Bookbonkers8439]

I actually purchased The World Gives Way after watching one of your other videos. I haven’t read it yet but I’m very excited to get to it!

[@Anna2187_]

So this just inspired me to ask for recs from my library 👀 I’m so excited to see what they pick now!

[@justaylin5139]

Middle part slayyyy it looks so good on you

[@RileyMarie_]

Thanks!!

[@BookedandBusy]

Immediately adds The World Gives Way to cart

[@lua_ferraz]

I was gonna comment exactly the same! It was available at the library and I immediately borrowed it, I'm so ready to be emotionally damaged

[@darkestbelle_]

This book is 5 stars so good 😊

[@RileyMarie_]

yesssss please read it!!! 🥹

[@elliemayread499]

At first I was like oh the world gives ways sounds good but then you said it reminded you of City of Ember...adding to TBR immediately like everyone else

[@CoverswithCassidy]

Your hair in this intro 😮😍 stunning

[@KatieColson]

Okay you and Sara have convinced me to pick up this dang book.

[@sarawithoutanH]

We love to see it!!!!! 🥰

[@rhiannamars1663]

i added every book mentioned in this video to my cart 🥰👍🏼 super excited for the world gives way

[@findingcaroline2032]

I don't comment very often, but I'm new to your channel and I just love your spirit and energy. :)

[@RileyMarie_]

Thanks!!! 💗💗

[@Showtunediva]

New subscriber here and I agree!

[@AmandasBooktopia]

I have One Dark Window but haven’t read it yet. Your video now makes me want to go pick it up lol. I have The Book of Gothel on my Amazon wishlist just haven’t been able to get it yet. It sounds so interesting!

[@aspiring_recluse]

I hope you do give Graceling a try at some point. I read the series last year and was really surprised at how much I liked it.

[@MichellesLibrary]

I remember watching Sara’s video of the World Gives Way but now I just immediately bought it!

[@amelieromanticreader]

Such a cool video. And I love when you end up really loving your book picks.

[@thepagesofsamantha]

adding the world gives way to my ever growing tbr thank you very much............. annnnnnnnd one dark window yes thank you

[@ashtonreads]

I never would've read The World Gives Way on my own, but I heard you talk about it in a previous video and then saw it on Book Outlet, so I now have a copy on my tbr cart. Didn't know the end was devastating tho until this video so now I'm SCARED lollll.

[@karenjobim5794]

OMG....I'm reading The World Gives Way now...in the beginning and loving it! I'm a fan of Emily's work so I predict crying in my near future.

[@peyton07]

Honestly go off Maddie!!! As Chalice by Robin McKinley is one of my favorites and it's mentioned in this rec list, I'm adding all of these to *my* TBR haha. Thanks for letting me know about this service in Austin!!

[@just_bea_weird]

I first heard about The World gives way on Holly's channel (holly hearts books). I immediatly bought the book and did not read it. Now I really want to pick it up asap. I want that pain 😆

[@KristenReads]

Well I'm gonna go ahead and add some things to my TBR. Also, just to note, your hair looks great throughout this whole video.

[@tifftalkspages]

Ummm. The librarian you got was on point ❤.

[@AmyNoelleReads]

This was SO FUN to watch! Great video. I just bought The World Gives Way and I am EXCITED 🤩

[@BC-wn7ku]

This was really fun. It would be interesting to see what books you'd get even if you gave the same prompts.

[@laura22m.24]

Love the new hair style 00:38🤩

[@throughherpages]

If you liked the concept of The World Gives Way, you should try Escaping Exodus by Nicky Drayden. It's a little bit different but the world building sounds like it's just as good. One of my favorite books so far this year

[@alison12171]

I need Maddie to rec me some books omg they crushed it

[@nancyledford4568]

I just finished graceling good read I donated it to a little free library

[@aurorastoprose]

I am obsessed with this video

[@aurorastoprose]

ALSO your hair looks fab in this

[@RileyMarie_]

Thanks!!!

[@hazel-marie]

Such a fun video and I’ve now added several books to my tbr 😊

[@hannahblackwellbooks]

I just bought one dark window! Also I flipping adored the book of Gothel ❤❤❤❤

[@tifftalkspages]

Omg. I have to read the world gives way❤

[@Ktaylor3694]

This was such a fun video! Now I really want to read all 3 of these books 🤣

[@ripeundead8239]

You're in austin!!!! Have you ever been to the Austin recycled reads bookstore!?

[@RileyMarie_]

I have!!

[@lindsayjardine3376]

Really enjoyed this vlog x

[@JulEnglefaris]

In the World Gives Way as soon as you said "theres no windows on the spaceship"..... hmmm I think I guessed the plot twist lol.

[@RileyMarie_]

It’s not really a plot twist kind of book 😅

[@SDFGReturns]

I guess that since I hated The Book of Gothel I probably won't like the Bear and the Nightingale either... One Dark Window sounds very interesting though!

[@ThatGeekCatty]

Not 'The World Gives Way" not being available in the UK 🙃

[@RileyMarie_]

😭

[@heykay9171]

Aurore by Kim Stanley Robinson as a similar vibe to The World Gives Way ✌🏻 But i DNFed It 😅 Loved the worldbuilding (big space-ship with forest, lake, snow ….), but hated the main character 🙈

[@MastigosAtLarge]

I would recommend "You've Lost a Lot of Blood" by Eric LaRocca!

[@anikamercier2651]

I loved One Dark Window too. Soooo good! Can’t wait for the second one to come out!

[@KittyAndTheBooks]

I love the concept of this video and I am glad it brought some great books into your reading life. :) Personally, I wasn't a fan of Graceling but I would be intrigued to hear your thoughts at some point.

[@theglitterybookworm]

not the clip of you crying making me laugh😭😭😭 i’m the worst friend bye

[@kithadfield3732]

For everyone that loves The World Gives Way, I can recommend An Unkindness of Ghosts by River Solomon. Also broke me a bit but in the best way

[@RileyMarie_]

Yes! I loved that book too

[@vanessahintz6587]

I heard of this 📖 by another book tuber the book is called Weaponized by Neil Ashe, the Library at Mont Char by Scott Hawkins,

[@BecxReadz]

Loved this

[@AdventuresInMyaLand]

i need to buy the world gives way!!!!!

[@Anna2187_]

I’ve been so intrigued by the world gives away because of Sara but your review has convinced me to put it on my tbr 🏃‍♀️ sci fi with emotional devastation?? Say less 👀

[@Anna2187_]

Omg city of ember?? That just unlocked a memory

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

So now I need to read Sarah’s rec…

[@zoeann386]

Only in the intro but damn your hair looks good

[@RileyMarie_]

Thank you!!!! 💞

[@ginaward6370]

I love video I just found you I you should read this book call in a New York minutes by Kate Spencer very good book

[@Warda-H]

Excuse me, I’d like access to your library service! 😍😍
