[@CoverswithCassidy]

this was so successful im so impressed

[@isirlasplace91]

9:52 The rain on the car is such a cozy comfy mood 🫶🏻

[@Deeee__]

This was so much fun! So glad that all the books were enjoyable and we’ll absolutely love to see a part 2!!!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

You're going to love Blood Over Bright Haven!!

[@brendasauer]

It's always a shock to me when Syd starts the video with makeup and everything then she appears with "no production", how can she be even more beautiful? ❤

[@natcommon]

I would love a part 2 that is an hour long. So happy you had such a good time reading these books.

[@firewhiskeyreader8257]

I'm so excited that you really enjoyed all of the books you read! I definitely would be happy to watch a part two to this!

[@elisereadsandwrites]

Ahhh I’m so glad you enjoyed it ✨ Thanks so much for including me 🥰

[@speaking_bookish]

Ugh I feel you- I also work in nursing doing mostly 12s sometimes 16s.. and I did two 12s this weekend as well. Only people who work in nursing understand what that’s like. And we’ve been losing a lot of people and it’s just heavy! Anyway I imagine you must be a much loved nurse and thank you for what you do!

[@kathysnyder3881]

I'm newish here. I absolutely loved this video! Your love of animals sucked me in. Thanks for being so kind to them! ❤

[@paulabarreto2668]

Please, give us episode two!!!! I could watch 5 more hours of this! 🌟🌟🌟

[@nadiaalves9261]

Subscribing just for the la dispute mug 😳

[@nisei.reader]

An episode 2 would be so fun! ⭐️🌟

[@Juliaxbx]

1 hour of syd?! perfect ending to a very exhausting week of work 🫶🏻

[@dianaormanzhi]

Yesss to an our long video! Also loved the little snippets of life you included between books. Sammi is precious

[@KarasBookshelf]

ahhh!!! Thank you for including me in this video, Syd!! I am so glad you loved Yellowface! I’m reading serpent and the wings of night in Feb and now you made me so so so excited 🤩

[@kwoot07]

I was unsure about Yellowface, but I’m pretty sure you just convinced me to give it a chance.

[@michellemp1626]

Loved this vlog!!! A part 2 would be AMAZING!!! I cannot wait to read YELLOWFACE this year. And now I want to buy Bright Young Women and The Will of the Many. Thanks for sharing, Syd!! 🌟

[@sarah-ann]

Omg a whole hour!!! God what a treat I’m so excited

[@sarah-ann]

You were really fighting for your life in that tire place

[@sarah-ann]

Sammy is the love of my life

[@sarah-ann]

Not electrical issues sad

[@stephaniebookish]

Had so many of the same feeling with Monstrillio! I kept comparing it to our share of night as well! I own the book eaters, so now I need to prioritize it!

[@stephaniebookish]

Literally will of the many and serpent were 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻✨

[@VeraFran]

Yes, episode two must come to fruition! Blood over bright haven is a must if you loved The will of the many.

[@olgaw.5968]

Yes, a part two would be great. I love this vlog. Thank you.

[@kerisbookishcorner2864]

Wow this was successful-amazing to see that!! I’d love to see a part two, reading booktubers faves and least faves are some of my favorite videos to watch. It’s fun to see how everyone’s reading taste lines up 😊

[@michelleizoco]

I have The Will of the Many on my February TBR and you have me even more excited to read it! I really loved the Crowns of Nyaxia series and am so glad you do too! Also, what do you mean this video was an hour?!?! It felt so much shorter (in the best way). I'd love to see a second video like this!

[@phix27]

You should look into WithCindy's review of Yellowface! I think it was an interesting add-on to finishing the book and I recommend it any time I see someone read this book because the deep-dive Cindy does is soooooooo interesting.

[@lattereadss]

I would love to see a part 2 of this video. I added all of the books in this video that I haven't read yet to my tbr because they all sound so good!

[@MaedBetweenthePages]

Planning filming around whether you can be bothered to put makeup on or not spoke to my soullll 😂 it’s a whole thing and I’m just not up to it sometimes… I love how great this went for you!!✨

[@lindsayrenee1063]

One of the greatest vlogs I've seen! Congratulations on all the great books you got to read! The very secret society is one of my favs ❤❤

[@macglam17]

Ugh hearing you talk about nursing is giving me ptsd 😅 I quit nursing after 10 yrs and I feel like those understaffed shifts were WAY to common

[@gabbyreads]

Ahhh this vlog was so fun!! I’m so glad you ended up also enjoying YellowFace and Monstrilio too! 🥹🥰 those books are so great!! I also recently just read Bright Young Women and damn, I loved it so much too, what a powerful book!

[@LauraW6]

Totally yes for part 2 and glad you enjoyed all of them ! 🌟 I read Serpent last year and felt the same, I ate it up 😅. I have two more from this stack so seeing this result gives me hope💃

[@meekelareads]

eeeeee im so glad you loved irregular witches too!! thanks for the mention, im glad to have found your channel 🥰

[@michaelacopp9775]

Yes! So many wonderful books here and I’m so happy you enjoyed them! A fun idea could be to read the books you didn’t get to throughout the year! (or a second video lol because I absolutely loved the writing retreat, blood over bright haven, and natural beauty haha)

[@samileigh2370]

Aside from best books of the year, reading booktubers favorites are my favorite videos! So glad this was a success. I’m so down for a second installment of this video (🤞🏻🤞🏻 it goes just as well). Bumping Bright Young Women higher on the TBR after this video.

[@gamewrit0058]

Wonderful vlog, and your pets are so cute! 🥰

[@ReadingNymph]

Ooh amazing! The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches made it into my top books of 2023 as well, its so good, I also really liked Yellowface 🌟

[@KatieColson]

Loved this. I love seeing a crossover of my data with other people’s data. It’s so interesting

[@xxLeMoNiCeExx17]

I am SO happy you loved the very secret society of irregular witches. One of my favorite romances everrrrr

[@DallasfanTen]

Love this format. And I like how you have a link to the other booktubers to check out.

[@CraftingVicky]

I would really love to see a part 2! So great that you had a fabulous time with these books.

[@tabitha_h2000]

what a successful vlog & epic way to start the reading year! & yessss of course we want a pt.2😍📚👏✨

[@celly589]

Your void kitties are so cute! Would love to see more of them 😻

[@PetrikLeo]

Hey Syd, thank you for including me! So glad you gave The Will of the Many a try! Can't wait for the second book to come out this year! :)

[@SydBookWorrom]

Your recs are STELLAR!! So excited to include you😃😃

[@awildernessofbooks]

An hour plus is honestly a blessing 🙌🏼

[@carissa1446]

⭐️ Can’t wait to read The Will of the Many.

[@MoJordanReads]

Yaaay so glad you had a great reading experience with these. I've had the Carissa Broadbent book on my radar for a while but your review has definitely made me want to read it soon! I would love to see another vlog of you reading those other three books you mentioned!

[@athenasbibliotheca8099]

It's great you were able to read so many books you enjoyed.🌟 I would definitely be down for a part two. I am planning on reading Yellowface in February so hopefully I enjoy it as well.

[@autumnrose_noseinabook]

Aww Elise is included! Yay, I love her 💖 This is such a great video with great recs!

[@FunFantasyBooks]

Oh! For some reason I didn’t get this before!! Love this! Thank you so much for including me! 🎉

[@SuperStrangSshadow]

Rainy ambience is always welcome.

[@shandaboreson2998]

Love this, give me all the long vlogs! And wow, what a string of great reads for you, we love that!

[@hildureinarsdottir3208]

what a fun vlog!! Now I really have to read "the Will of the Many" :)

[@readiculousreads4164]

I would have watched 2 hours of this loveliness! Part 2 please!!!!

[@skullcandy2437]

the will of the many was the first book I read this year and i'm SO GLAD because it kicked of my year on the best note

[@yike.a.noodle]

peepin the Sketches vinyl in the background at ab 4 min :) nice!

[@thisbookbelongstopam]

this was so good!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 i’ve had the will of the many on my radar and your reading experience just bumped it to the top of my list! yes for part two!

[@MarkelleRayneeSheree]

Your dog looks so much like mine it freaked me out. 😂

[@onecraftybadger3847]

That pizza looked good AF

[@sgeo66]

My car dealership did the same thing to me! I sat there forever and they were calling people who came in after me. I was pissed

[@bookspacewithmace]

Def would love a part ii 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@ashleighbrooke7924]

Yes please do a secondary video to this!❤

[@InSophiesBooks]

I love this video ❤😊 it's great to see others favourites of the year. I have now added way more books to my tbr 😂

[@jacquielousbookqueue]

I have to ask, where did you get the La Dispute coffee mug. It has been my son’s favorite band and we’re in GR so totally cool to see it!

[@lauraburcaw3623]

If you do continue with the Crowns of Nyaxia series, I highly recommend also reading the companion novella, Six Scorched Roses, before The Ashes & The Star-Cursed King! The novella features two characters that appear in the second book, and it actually ended up being my favorite installment in the series!

[@SydBookWorrom]

I’m so glad you said this!!! I have it ordered now🤭🤭

[@starlasell5698]

Part 2, yes! ❤👍📚❤️

[@AshtheViking]

I might kill for that pizza. It looks divine. Yes to episode 2!

[@booktime90]

I LOVE this video! Yellowface was great!

[@shelfimprovementyt]

lol I am reading bright young women right now (for my own version of this video) and I feel the same way about how on edge it’s making me feel! It is so immersive and provoking and I love Jessica Knoll for that even though I’m feeling extra paranoid haha

[@cassandrafortin4684]

I looooove long reading vlog! I just bought Monstrilio, and Im actually reading The serpent and the wings of night 🙌🏻

[@a.b.2405]

A pistachio latte?? Ma’am I need to try that NOW!! 😮

[@raquellima3632]

Yes! Part 2 please! Loved the video.

[@SamanthasBooks]

Bright Young Women sounds so good! So does The Will of the Many! I've heard of it, but hadn't really heard much about it!! Damn, my loan for Serpent and the Wings of Night just ran out! ⭐⭐⭐

[@thebookbasket]

⭐🌟 I love watching these videos!

[@rachelw8573]

Im new! Love your channel! Im so excited to read bright young women. I love true crime and I love that the victims get the spotlight not the serial killer.

[@beckyduff]

A Very Secrey Society of Irregular Witches was also on my favourites list of 2023!

[@clairescott568]

Please do a part 2, great video.

[@goddessnix444]

🌟 loved this.

[@theinstabookworm6428]

Yellowface was my favourite book of 2023! Still thinking about it. 🌟🌟🌟

[@cjwallace2149]

a new series?👀 maybe? i mean if you want to read more on the list, who are we to stop you? maybe a year long vlog, broken up of course to appease the mood reading gods. so yes. more please!!

[@krzysamm7095]

The Stranger Beside Me by Anne Rule is a great read

[@amandalavery6282]

Awesome vlog!!! U r so adorable! Def would like several more vlogs like this! Thank u

[@dbookdragon]

Would Love to see more vlogs like this from you.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I’ve had bright young women on my TBR since it’s come out 🥹

[@KYX1994]

I vote for part 2 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@cafeaulivre]

Glad you liked Yellowface. In a world where so many people obsess over characters, it's refreshing to have a main character you simply love to hate now an then! ;)

[@ChemicalPenguinn]

An hour long video? Yes pls

[@sarahwhite4227]

This was really fun!

[@daryanreads]

i would die for sammy

[@daryanreads]

i knew you'd love irregular witches!!

[@daryanreads]

you reading a 500 page book in one sitting is such a slay

[@rebeccaalexander8877]

Absolutely would love a part 2 if you want to do it 🙂 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

[@ericaedwards8474]

Yes! We need a part two! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

[@Jonathan-B_]

They can't charge you for the tire but they'll sure charge you time. SAMMY!!! Ugh, Bright Young Women is so damn good.

[@MelLenoreReads]

Such a resounding success and so fun! Of course we'd want a part 2!

[@tinnyverse]

Yes for part two!! 😄

[@daijahsbookworld]

ahhhhh i’m so excited to watch this!!!

[@CoverswithCassidy]

looking at reddit forums after finishing the will of the many is a must tbh, I did the same thing

[@cmontgomery]

I felt the same way of The Serpent and the Wings of Night. It was good and it kept me hooked but it was missing character and world building development.

[@JohnSaxon-vw5vi]

This video is amazing and absolutely love it wishing you all the best of luck and success and hopefully you enjoy your reading journey prayers and blessings for you and your husband and your families love your Aussie family friend John ❤❤❤

[@booktube8156]

Good job Syd!

[@SophL.]

Monstrilio sounds heartbreaking and I love a good horror. But currently cannot bring myself to read it after having read Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke by Eric LaRocca. I cannot stomach the parallels I've created in my head regarding the concept of each 😂😂 Would love to one day hear your thoughts on this short story ❤

[@AnoukeSu]

I’ve seen several people review Bright Young Women and I’ve never heard anyone make the connection (or at least haven’t heard anyone voice it) of the title to the events. When Ted Bundy was convicted the judge called him a “bright young man” which many people found disturbing considering everything that had happened.

[@SydBookWorrom]

I noticed that line! It is quite disturbing
