I read 18 books and let's talk about them! 🌷📖✨ READING WRAP UP

[@marlachildsartwork]

Put The New Couple in 5B on my list because you talked about it in an earlier vlog and just finished it this morning. Usually I do other things when I listen to audio books but at the climax I had to stop everything and just listen because I didn’t want to miss anything. Sure sign of an entertaining read. 👻

[@LexieMoon321]

I just finished “The Heiress” and what you said when you finished it was exactly how I felt. Definitely gives off “Evelyn Hugo if she did questionable things.” Overall, I liked it! I gave it four stars! 👻🐕

I love this video, I have to compliment you on the way that you give your feelings about the book without giving too much away about the plot, the characters, or giving any spoilers. A lot of videos that I've been watching recently from other people, I feel like they tell all of the attributes of the characters, they tell the plot that's listed on the book description which is fine but then they go way beyond that so I feel like I'm learning about a good portion of the book before I read it and I don't like that.

[@bethbow_1365]

I love wrap ups! Thanks Olivia ❤👻

[@Tinahgirl83]

Loved the way you did this! I have a few of these on my TBR and I’m looking forward to them.

[@MarieNoel_8]

👻I love these videos firstly because it gets me through laundry lol, but mostly because I love hearing your thoughts, especially because you give yourself time to decide what you do and do not like about them... I've read a lot of books I love based on your wrap ups, whether you liked them or not, because your genuine description of them intrigues me...thanks a bunch for helping me experience books that I wouldn't have otherwise. 😊📚👻

[@oliviareadsalatte]

Awh thank you so much!! I’m so glad you’ve found some good reads because of them, that makes me so happy 🫶🏻

[@maureendeming]

Good Omens?! Now I definitely need to read Tress!!!!!!

[@TeenaReadsandCrochets]

I loved First Lie Wins too! I definitely want to read the other 5 star books you mentioned.

[@allisonarmstrong706]

My favorite book of April that I read was Before We Were Innocent. You should definitely check it out! 👻🐕

[@em56564]

I really enjoyed leviathan wakes and the expanse series for sci-fi with some horror elements definitely worth checking out imo

[@Laura-nm2le]

Side note, The Hike is set in Norway, not The Netherlands (not exactly famous for their mountains, The Netherlands are)

[@oliviareadsalatte]

Dang it, it’s the first letter but none of the rest was right 🤣 thank you!

@@oliviareadsalatte It happens! I live in the Netherlands so I was like 'oh cool a book set in my country' and then I heard you mention 'big tall mountain' and I went 'wait a minute' 😂

I'm going to actually attempt to keep up with wrap ups this year because man, it was hard to remember each book. Idk how you do that magic 😂

[@RoseannDesimone-tu8wt]

I must admit I am new to reading vlogs. I love yours, you're fun and informative. I am a traditional Barnes and Noble, and HPB girl. I have been noticing these beautiful covers on various books. I think you mentioned getting books from the UK with these unique covers. how do you get a UK version of any book? Please enlighten me. Thank You. 😊

[@beverlyxuncax986]

Try Blackwells! It’s a UK based bookstore 🤗

Thank you for making this video! I’ve recently gotten back into reading after a long break and I’m looking for book recommendations so this video was perfect. I’ve had my eye on The Warm Hands of Ghosts…after seeing your high rating, I will definitely give it a try! ☺️👻

I got to be on a book club meeting with Liv Constantine (sister duo) and they had a lot to say about miss FM 😂

Some of these books are on my library hold list cant wait to get the notification they are ready lol. 🐕👻

[@andreataylor8186]

I am on Book 12 of the Miss Fortune series. I am sad Libby doesn't have the audiobooks but I am enjoying the series so much.

[@oliviareadsalatte]

Unfortunately they’re Audible exclusive audiobooks 😭

[@andreataylor8186]

@@oliviareadsalatte I was wondering if that was the case. I just got a subscription for .99 a month for 3 months but don't think I want to use credits on them.

[@mymindfullife7554]

I enjoyed Couple in 5B too. Always up for paranormal activity in my thrillers! ❤😊

[@oliviareadsalatte]

Same!

[@krissykramer5235]

👻🐶 Added all the 5 stars to my list!! Love these videos 😊

[@elizabethc.9910]

👻 Last night I finished Listen For The Lie, which you mentioned really liking in one of last weeks vlogs, so I used an audible credit for it, and I loved it! Then I started to listen to The New Couple In 5B on Hoopla but fell asleep pretty quickly so I am going to start listening to it again tonight. Though I'm going to start it earlier than I did last night, so I can actually pay attention to it and not pass out! I have definitely been in a thriller and/or horror mood, so your recommendations have been on point lately! ❤

[@cindy_ob]

Hi Olivia! I recently found your KZbin channel and love it!! Love your taste in books! I’m currently reading Bride and love it. How do you like your hatch morning clock? I’m thinking of getting one to help w stress and my terrible sleep and was wondering how it’s worked for you.

[@christy2935]

👻If you liked The Warm Hands of Ghosts check out Katherine Arden's Winternight series. I've only read the first one, The Bear and the Nightingale, but it was one of my favorite books I read last year. It's a magical realistic book set in 1600s Russian where the female main character sees mythical creatures but keeps it quiet as Christianity is gaining serious traction in her village with the arrival of a charismatic priest, and she gets caught in a battle between the demon Frost and a one eyed demon named Bear. Absolutely beautiful writing. I'm really looking forward to Warm Hands of Ghosts, then added The Final Strife and The New Couple in 5B. I read Tress in March too and enjoyed it. It's my first Sanderson and piqued my interest enough to check out his other works (I know he's popular but the books never interested me for some reason). I had a big slump at the start of the year and only 2 other books were worth recc'ing. I think you've read Starling House, but I loved that. The next was Into the Heartless Wood, which is a dark cottagecore/Ghibli-esque fairy tale about a tree siren who saves a young man's life instead of taking it and he starts visiting the woods where she lives. The writing is gorgeous,; it has dual POVs and the way the tree siren's chapters are written shows how she changes throughout the story. I think it's my best surprise of the year so far.

[@BlinkFly]

Oh man if you liked the bear and the nightingale definitely read the girl in the tower ASAP! It’s so so good

[@christy2935]

@BlinkFly My library holds has pretty much taken over my reading each month. 😭 It never has a hold so I will try to sneak it in.

[@Josandy]

👻 just finished first lie wins and I AGREE!!!

[@NaomiElizabeth96]

Ummm should I ever actually read Crescent City? I love ACOTAR , I don’t know if I should read Throne of glass 🤨

[@mymindfullife7554]

I've read ACOTAR and started TOG this year. I'm loving TOG!!! On book 4 already. ❤ I say read TOG and forget Crescent City...I've read half of it. It's ok.

[@ashthebibliophage]

Throne of Glass is amazing! Crescent City is skippable imo

[@christy2935]

ACOTAR is my favorite of her series, but TOG is pretty good. I will say that I really did not like the first 2 books and almost DNF'd, but I got into them at book 3 when, to be spoiler free, the world and characters really expand. I'd probably read Crescent City 1 to see if you like it but put it as an I'll get to it when I feel like it. The first one did have some interesting things going on, it's set around a murder mystery which is pretty neat, but it's just way too bloated. Also, the characters aren't as good IMO. It's really all of SJM's worst qualities as a writer in 1 series. I DNF'd book 2 about 2 chapters in after the ending was spoiled for me, and I'm one of the few who HATE the ending. I plan to reread 1 then the other 2 at some point, but it's low on the priority list.

[@ChristinaFaithLucci]

Definitely read TOG but I agree Crescent City is meh I enjoyed them but it’s a series I dread the idea of ever rereading

[@angelaholmes8888]

I read 12 book's in February My favorites were The urgent life by Bozoma saint John memoir Tales of the body thief by Anne rice book 4 in the vampire chronicles Queen of the damned by Anne rice book 3 vampire chronicles Clytemnestra by constanza casanti March i read 10 book's My favorite the girl in the eagle's talons by karin Smirnoff book 7 in the millennium series

I could be the only one with this opinion but sjm makes her main characters… I’m looking at you Aelin, Bryce and yep I guess Feyre quite unlikable, like they always know best and take no advice and swagger and talk cocky, yet I do enjoy the side characters. Personally I wouldn’t risk my life for any of them 😂
