I read 90 books in one year... so I ranked them from worst to best

[@livw45]

screaming at shrek erotica not being at the bottom of your list. Incredible.

[@scrivspo]

I know art when I see it

[@vicaliarr]

me screaming that it's not at the top ugh

[@addiemontgomery4559]

favorite type of book videos! you look stunning as always

[@scrivspo]

Yayyy and thank you!!!

[@nash5262]

I’m convinced we have exact opposite reading tastes, but I will watch (and love) anything you post

[@scrivspo]

Omg what’s ur reading taste

[@nash5262]

Okay so “exact opposite” might have been an exaggeration. I am one of the few people who actually liked the first ACOTAR book, plus I loved The Seven Year Skip too. I can’t even say we read different genres because we read across similar genres, but we usually pick up different books. For the ones that overlap, if I loved it, sometimes you felt meh about it, and vice versa 🤣 it makes for a really fun viewing experience

[@ReggyCupcake]

With all the awful crazy things happening in my country the past two days, I really needed this video to just escape for a while. I love hearing you talk about books. Keep up the great work! I love the shift in content and I love that you're making videos about something you truly love and are passionate about

[@scrivspo]

Sending you SO MUCH LOVE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ReggyCupcake]

Thank you. I need it. The amount of dread I feel is overwhelming today especially. Looking forward to more videos! Thank you for being who you are

[@ninab3442]

Hii :) a little recommendation from Germany if you are looking for thrillers with a crazy plottwist. Sebastian Fitzek is such a good writer. I absolutely love his books. A few are already translated in English 😊

[@scrivspo]

Omg amazing thank you!!!

[@kaynicole6564]

You looked so freaking pretty in this vid Harriet! My top 5 star read of 2024 was The Reading List! Older widowed man reads a forgotten library book he found in his house after his wife passed after years of not understanding why she loved books so much, afterwards he doesn’t necessarily want to stop reading and heads to the library where he makes one of the most unexpected friendship for the rest of his life. This book was so good and it’s definitely a highly recommend! I would look up trigger warnings if anyone has triggers they want to avoid, but if you’re okay not knowing it’s worth it! Congratulations on podcast launch!

[@scrivspo]

Thank you angel!! And omg that book sounds right up my alley!!

[@romywolfofficial]

Why are ranking vidros so satisfying to watch? I loved this :D

[@scrivspo]

I agree hahaha

[@sd.092]

ooo you had so many 5⭐️ reads in 2024! starting book lovers next after having 3 different recs this week, taking it as a sign!

[@scrivspo]

I hope you enjoy it!!!

[@SleepySandyASMR]

I love your book videos!

[@scrivspo]

This makes me so happy!!

[@clearykatie]

I am so glad you loved queen of shadows!! It is one of my absolute favorites too

[@scrivspo]

so so so good

[@jaquefurt]

Omg now that you mentioned Clueless, I can’t help but notice you kinda look like Alicia! 🥰 Great recs, I’m a huge fan of your book content era ❤

[@scrivspo]

This is such a compliment I am obsessed w her

[@sofsof7842]

Listened to the podcast on my bike-commute to work yesterday morning, it is sooo entertaining and funny!!! Keep them coming!

[@scrivspo]

omg yay i'm so happy you liked it!!

[@gomohatch]

I've been waiting to see you do a reading wrap-up!! Absolutely cackling that the Shrek book is higher than a good handful of books

[@scrivspo]

I am who I am hahahaha

[@lucyservo6574]

Ugh you're so good. You inspired me to star all my reads for 2024, and I had 13 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. So fun

[@scrivspo]

Awww yay!!!

[@StephL1111]

I enjoyed this video and it was really well done. I now have a bunch of new books on my TBR! 👏🥰

[@scrivspo]

yay!!!

[@nccolehunt]

The book lovers shirt!!! I love it and that book so much🥰

[@scrivspo]

Ugh it’s my fave!!!

[@bethanymueller9613]

Fav series from what I read last year was The Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee (three books Jade City, Jade War and Jade Legacy). I fell in love with the characters, the world building was beautiful and truly heartbroken when I finished it because I just wanted it to keep going. I literally finished all three in two weeks which is unheard of for me haha

[@scrivspo]

Omg adding to my TBR!

[@kcnbt99]

Hey girl, this video was iconic. I just stared my year off reading one of the worst series I've ever read (Renegades by Marissa Meyer) because I loved her other series (Cinder or the Lunar Chronicles, if you haven't read them!) and so I'm so peeved rn because I thought they'd get better and they did but they went from a 2.5 ⭐ to a 2.75 ⭐ to a 3 ⭐ so like 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ Anyway, my best book of last year was one of your top books, Silver Flames. It was a 4.75 ⭐ I'm with you, if a hardened person's shell is cracked and they fall in love, I'm soooo in! Funny Story was good but it wasn't as good as Book Lovers, which is also probably my favourite book and definitely the best purely romance novel I've ever read, so it was only a 4.5 ⭐ You've inspired me to finally pick up Throne of Glass but I think I'm going to start with the Mind Fuck series since you said they're short and I need a break before I get back into the long books. If you want suggestions of books you haven't read (I think) - All the Sinners Bleed by S.A. Cosby was a thriller that came out of nowhere for me and was amazing. A great look at racism, if cops can ever be 'good' in the US, and the thriller part was also really good - the next 3 Thursday Murder Club books. As you said before, the thriller part is ok but the characters are what make this series and it only gets better imo - True Love Experiment and it's prequel Soulmate Equation, I liked TLE more and I started with it so if you don't care knowing about couples that obviously will end up together, I'd read it in that order, lol I had a pretty good reading year last year all things considered. Only read 39 books but had a 4.22 average! Go read

[@scrivspo]

as always i love love love hearing your thoughts! a 4.22 average is AMAZING

[@kcnbt99]

@@scrivspo it really was. I read less but better which I honestly can't complain about tbh

[@OhHeyLookitsaBird]

I read Beartown based on how much you loved it, and I have thought about it everyday since, one of my favourite ever reads, so thank you

[@scrivspo]

omg this makes me so so happy

[@stacyadams8265]

I DNF’d the Lost Bookshop. You got me how it was so popular.

[@scrivspo]

i should have DNFed!

[@Lizzy43645]

I read Divine Rivals because of you and I loved it!

[@scrivspo]

YAY

[@julllesss0]

I love your videos 🥰❤ I can’t wait to read TOG next month after my exams 🌟

[@scrivspo]

YAY I hope you enjoy it!!

[@rosa-ww9bp]

I just read the thursday murder club and I absolutely loved it!! On to the next one immediately 😅😊

[@scrivspo]

How sweet are they ugh

[@heatburg]

Your hatred of Icebreaker kinda makes me want to read it.

[@scrivspo]

You should, I love a hate read

[@PrincessLouis]

You should read the Crescent City series! ACOTAR had been my favourite book (and series) for ages, but CC took over this year

[@scrivspo]

Okay I’ve heard such mixed reviews but I’ll give it a go once I finish TOG!!

[@PrincessLouis]

The first book is a bit of a steep learning curve (she throws lots of lore at you really fast), but it gets so good!

[@MakeupForGlasses]

so many good recommendations!

[@scrivspo]

so happy you liked it!!

[@BeBoldCoaching]

LOVE this video! Shrek fanfic is haunting, as well, "and I just don't think she had it..." is ICONIC.

[@scrivspo]

hahahaha

[@Pippo_cc]

Jumped back in my chair this is exactly what I needed

[@scrivspo]

Hope you enjoyed!!

[@iSkylar]

Favorite series I read in 2024 was The Book of Tea series by Judy I. Lin. You got a magic system rooted in tea culture, some romance, gods wanting to just ruin lives, and characters trying to figure out their lives while trying to stay alive. Bit of a slow start since the tea culture side of it needs explaining, but there is some info pages included to reference stuff, which is nice.

[@scrivspo]

Wait this sounds so fun

[@happiestkass]

I’m so glad we have the same taste in books. I also hated Icebreaker and LOVED ACOSF. Currently have the name Nesta on my baby names list

[@scrivspo]

YAY i love finding similar bookish people! also nesta is such a cute baby name omg

[@VultureCxlture]

I dont really read fantasy or romance but i still love these book reviews ✨

[@scrivspo]

Aw yayyyy

[@imo9193]

My favourite book of 2024 was Bunny by Mona Awad! I loved this book and although there were a few aspects that I didnt love, this book has left such an impression on me and is SO memorable.

[@scrivspo]

i liked it a lot too!!

[@elaynejuten9084]

We read a lot of the same books in 2024! I think my favorite of the year was This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. One sentence no spoiler summary: Two time-traveling rivals fall in love and must change the past to ensure their future. It’s so good. It’s the book that’s keeps coming up in my mine and I read this in July. It’s also less than 200 pages, so it’s a real quick read. So good.

[@scrivspo]

I’ve heard such good things about this book!!

[@ExtraIceNat]

Definitely recommend also ❤N. Galilea , lead me where the light is ours❤such a thought provoking book.

[@scrivspo]

I’ll check it out ❤️❤️

[@IsadoraOliveiraFranco]

funny story was soo good! I really need to give Fredrik Backman a try 📚

[@scrivspo]

You should!! My fave of his is a man called ove

[@IsadoraOliveiraFranco]

@@scrivspo picking that one up next then!!

[@Serena-Vanderwoodsen]

Why is youtube being such a hater of my queen and not notifying me?! I’m glad I decided to search up your name as I was missing you!!! 💙

[@scrivspo]

I think they hate me after not posting for 3 weeks lmaoooo

[@MarijeOskam]

i always find it so interesting to see how other people rate books. i loved ACOMAF soooo much more than i loved ACOTAR and When the Moon Hatched had me hooooked. i kept reading waiting to find out what else was around the corner. the only part i really did not like was the whole wild clan story cause honestly, why was that necessary??

[@scrivspo]

that's so fair!! it just wasn't for me!

[@nerdmaid1240]

My favourite of 2024 was Strange Sally Diamond by Liz Nugent. I read this so quickly. I literally couldn’t put it down. Imagine the book Room but turned on its head. I can’t say any more without spoilers but this book lived inside me for ages.

[@scrivspo]

omg i'll have to look into this!!!

[@aniriess6771]

Your video popped up in my timeline randomly and I enjoyed every single minute of it🥹 My favourite book of 2024: Lessons in chemistry by Bonnie Garmus - I loved it, my grandma loved it, it‘s witty, powerful and just WOW❤️‍🩹 Sending love from Germany🥰

[@scrivspo]

i loved lessons in chemistry so so much!!!

[@vampirebl4des]

actually surprised icebreaker was second to last so why wasn't it last haha? i read the summer i turned pretty years ago and liked it (i don't remember what happened tho) it but i haven't watched the show . i need to give bunny another try i gave up pretty quickly

[@scrivspo]

Bunny is definitely not for everyone!!

[@gomohatch]

I also loved Divine Rivals and I will defend it forever!

[@scrivspo]

So good

[@kaitydwyer9640]

My first read of this year was the tattooist of Auschwitz and I think it’s going to be very hard to beat

[@scrivspo]

it's so good!!

[@FisherELF]

Hey Harriet! I wonder if you know the series “The Kingkiller Chronicles”?

[@scrivspo]

i dont! should i read it?

[@FisherELF]

@ It’s my favorite series of all times… But there’s an issue with the writer that he just doesn’t release the 3rd book, which is the final they say. I sometimes tear up thinking about it might never be released, that’s how much I love the book lol So it’s a fantasy book series that contains magic, music, love, fays etc but it’s written so well that it’s feels kinda real haha It’s about a man who’s like a “chosen one” if you like that type of things I don’t know… It’s start from his childhood and continues to his present. The thickness of the books are a little intimidating but I totally recommend it! Let us know if you start them :,)

[@rebeccakazdoy3198]

My top 3 books were The Nix by Nathan Hill, Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, and Leaving Time by Jodi Picoult.

[@scrivspo]

Really want to read project hail mary this year!!!

[@rachbazz]

I cannot believe mindfuck is number 2, i'm obsessed with your brain

[@scrivspo]

It’s literally so fun

[@SamanthasBooks]

I hated The Last Murder at the End of the World too - it sucked! I think Funny Story was my number 3 of the year too! I LOVE Queen of Shadows - I'm rereading the series right now and I'm about to start my reread of that one and I CANNOT wait!!

[@scrivspo]

omg sounds like we have very similar taste!

[@MsCaramella91]

It’s definitely not a perfect book, but overall I really enjoyed The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo! And for something in a completely different genre I liked The Cat Who Saved Books by Sosuke Natsukawa

[@scrivspo]

Oooh thank you!!!!

[@MarijeOskam]

i really want someone to read Boy Parts by Eliza Clarke and tell me if it's good cause i neeed to know what i am getting myself into
