This is, no joke, the first time I've heard an actual plot summary for Stranger Things. THANK YOU 💕

[@gabbyreads]

Omg yes I loveeee recommendation videos like this!!! 😍 I didn’t even consider recommending The Paris Apartment if you like Only Murders in the Building! That’s a perfect comparison! I also still really want to read Fence 😍

[@alexandraroselyn]

Thanks Gabby!! Omg I know you will love Fence! Highly recommend!!!

[@GavinReadsItAll]

I AM OBSESSED WITH ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING!! It’s currently my fav show 😂 amazing recommendations Lexi!! 🥰

[@alexandraroselyn]

Omg MINE TOO!!!

[@TrainingWithTheKoenigs]

mine too!!! WHO KILLED BUNNY!!!

[@emerie44]

A Good Girls Guide to Murder is also about a teenage girl trying to solve a murder on her own and later in the series she does a podcast too! These are 5/5 stars for me!!!

[@alexandraroselyn]

Oh I just bought that one this year!! That def makes me want to bump it up my TBR!!

[@Books.with.Cara.]

I thought that too! And I love both

[@susanreads1960]

I was going to recommend this one also

[@summerdavis3437]

@@alexandraroselyn The first one is AMAZING but I didn’t love how the series ended.

[@enchantedadventuresthrough3065]

I bought the Spiderwick Chronicles and Beyond Spiderwick books for my Christmas haul last year. I read the first book of Beyond Spiderwick Chronicles and loved it so much that I needed to find the whole series! I hope to get to them soon. I didn't enjoy the movie much, though. We shall see how I feel about the rest of the books. I'm only watching 1 more video today, so I will have 10 videos to watch tomorrow, and then I will have completed your whole channel!! Can't wait!!!!!!! And then, you'll have video 266 up on Sunday and I already can't wait for this!!

[@SS-mk2yp]

Season 2 of The Umbrella Academy is TOP TIER. Season 3 is also soooo good. They won’t let you down!

[@alittlereader]

If you like Gilmore Girls or Halloweentown, I highly recommend Cackle by Rachel Harrison. It's labeled as horror but it really isn't. It's more like a cozy book for fall time. Love that book!

[@karenjobim5794]

One Italian Summer is chef's kiss and soooo much GG vibes! Loved the vid and obsessed w Only Murders in the building and Thursday's Murder club is the vibe.

[@jessicawatson7360]

Yeah can so relate with the 0% anxiety content. I have a self-care playlist for days when I need calming shows/books.

[@ktcrich]

Amazon just recently released season one of Paper Girls! It's so good & filled the hole that Stranger Things left in my heart. Perfect suggestion. As soon as I finished season 1, I knew I needed to buy the collection. Can't wait to read!

[@ariana133]

I loved the book recommendations.❣I think you did a great job with pairing the books with the tv shows! 🎥

[@sarahmontsinger5506]

I would love to see a video all about your favorite comfort reads - just light hearted cozy non serious books that are really good

[@CloTricots]

I think Lock Every Door by Riley Sager would work well with Only Murders in the Building. It's set in an old New York City appartement complex just like the show and has weird disappearances. Loved it.

[@heavenlykenn1804]

The Spiderwick Chronicles was my CHILDHOOD 🥰

[@islandgirl3615]

It's so good to have you back ❤ these recs were on point- the books and the shows! 🎥

[@alexandraroselyn]

Thank you!! 😊❤️

[@priisawallflower]

Paper Girls has a show and it's sooo good! 💖

[@madzmadon]

I think that Paper Girls actually just became a show on Amazon as well! 🤔

[@tish_has_plans_to_read]

These book recs are on point as always!! So glad to have you back ❤️ and I can’t wait to read Legends & Lattes ☕️🎥

[@kelsielizabeth574]

Me too, that’s the cutest one out of the bunch!

[@cindyr4918]

This book is amazing - you are in for a treat if you haven't read it yet🤗

[@AnaLeaRonza]

I LOVE THE GREAT BRITISH BAKE OFF! And I 'm born and raised in Argentina LOL

[@orelsa82]

For cozy baking vibes, I recommend Midsummer's Mayhem by Rajani LaRocca. It is a middle-grade Shakespeare retelling with a baking competition.

[@kirstywilkinson3230]

I just finished Spoonbenders (which I picked up following this video). LOVED it! 5 stars for me and a new author I now want to read more from - thank you!!!

[@josparx5372]

Another book recommendation I think would fit The Magicians is A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik! It's a magical school that is on the darker side and the students have to fight monsters. So so good! Also the audio book is amazing

[@katherineschmoyer5042]

On my last day of quarantine with covid. I had same issue with losing smell and taste for at least 24 hrs but then it came back. But before that it would go in and out. Fatigue, chills, and lingering cough. Not fun to go through while pregnant in 1st trimester but survived. Thank you for documenting because I was wondering about my symptoms but sounds like they were all pretty normal and consistent with the virus. Hope your mom started feeling better!

[@doreenperez6768]

I loved this video! We binged all 3 seasons of Umbrella Academy last month and loved it! I’ve never heard of that book but will def check it out! We also love Only Murders! Such great shows you covered! 🍿🎬📺 Oh and I heard My Best Friends Exorcism is being made into a movie!? So exciting!

[@tawnyachristensen7310]

Was worth waiting for! I'm intrigued by Spoon Benders and definitely want to try Witch Haven and Legends and Lattes soon! Can't wait for the sequel to Ninth House!📺

[@belenandrea99]

You are my comfort booktuber🤎🎬 thank you for the recs📚

[@dohabeshir9405]

amazing video ❤ i'd also recommend a good girl's guide to murder series if you love only murders in the building

[@theokiereader]

You should check out the Baking Championship series. There’s Kids Baking Championship, Spring Baking Championship, Halloween Baking Championship, and Holiday Baking Championship. Everyone gets along, no trash talk. It’s on food network and Discovery streaming.

[@kelsielizabeth574]

Yeeees I can’t wait for another reorganization video. You know it’s time!

[@pamelakibildis1177]

[@lauraa1345]

Thank you so much for all these wonderful recommendations, Lexi ! I definitely added some books and also series on my tbr/watchlist 🎬🎥💜

[@parnapriyabanerjee1340]

There is a recently released Y/A book called "The Agathas" that also gives a lot of Only Murders in the building vibes!! Also, I love you and your videos.❤

[@sarahperkins2]

If you like Bridgerton, I highly recommend The Season by Sarah Maclean. Also, If you love Heartstoppers, I think you like the manga (and anime) Given. If you the macabre types of books, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children is a great book series, but you may also like The Last Monster by Ginger Garret ( it gives thriller vibes more than horror). Also The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman and The Books or Elsewhere series by Jacqueline West are great. For people with powers I recommend Cat Girl’s Day Off by Kimberly Pauly, The Extra Ordinary Adventures of Ordinary Boy by William Boniface, and Saavy by Ingrid Law. Another book that is a mix of sci-fi, mystery, and just a smidge of period and futuristic thrillers is Warp by Eion Collifer

[@alyssalemmingbooksandother8943]

A new video! 🎞🎬 We’ve been waiting!! I loooove such videos, made one myself, though it’s about shows and books on the creepy side 😃 Thank you for the recommendations! Can’t wait for the Sunday vlog!

[@JamiesonReads]

Omg I missed you so much!!! I’ve come to KZbin everyday looking for a new video for almost a month! Lol!

[@marissabellard3533]

The Thursday Murder Club immediately came to my mind when you said Only Murders in the building!! 📺

[@AratiKaushik]

Love love love this video! 🎬Especially the books to match the Great British bake-off! I already have Legends and lattes on my holds list at the library, and Sourdough is going right there next to it! I’m here for all the cozy, non anxious vibes!

[@Rank.Roundup]

“You” actually began as a book. It’s by Caroline Kepnes. It’s fabulous. I highly recommend you pause your watching of the show and read it before you watch any further. The Umbrella Academy began as books as well - comics.

[@bookish_and_wilde]

Great video and great recommendations! 🎥🎞📽 Thank you, dear Lexi😍💗

Thank you for all these recommendations!! 📺🎞

[@colleenheart]

I am new to your channel and I am loving your content! Your passion for reading and for the books you really love comes across the screen beautifully. ❤️📽🎬🎞🎥

[@NatReads]

For the Gilmore Girls, I’d recommend Where Did You Go, Bernedette? by Maria Semple. It’s funny. There’s a mystery and the daughter is also gifted like Rory.

[@alexandraroselyn]

Ooooo that sounds perfect!! Thank you!! 😊

[@samanthaaiello]

Just finished The Ex Hex. I am ready for autumn 🍂

I love Gilmore Girls and Only Murders in the Building! 🎥 thanks for the recommendations 😊❤️

[@homestylereads]

I now have to watch Locke & Key because The Spiderwick Chronicles is one of my biggest comfort watches. I used to watch it every weekend when spending the night with my grandfather! Also, I feel Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children would fit The Umbrella Academy? I’ve only read the first book, but it seems similar. 📺🎬

If you love bake off, you must check out the great pottery throw down. Contestants are so supportive, judging is constructive not rude, such a comfort show!

The fact that this video started with a perfume sponsor, I just had to recommend the hollow trilogy by Jessica Verday. Absolutely loved it and I hope you will too if you decide to pick it up.

[@kristinamenendez208]

📺 🎥 loved this so much!!!!! Just finished stranger things and was thinking I needed to read something with those same vibes.

[@rom.na005]

Yayay my favourite KZbinr uploaded a video, day made 😊

Aww thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Karenlalsip]

It's not a book, but a show you might like currently on PBS is The Great American Recipe". It's much like the British Bake Off but they have 8 contestants bringing stories and recipes.

[@alexandraroselyn]

Ooooooo ok I’ll check it out thank you!!

[@GodtaughtKendra]

Paper Girls is now a Series on Amazon Prime TV!!!

[@Tylibra1]

If you love The Great British Baking Show tryThe Repair Shop on Netflix. Same cozy vibes. The Great Pottery Throwdown & Making It are also super cozy.

[@eliotopian]

one Italian summer: when I had started reading it physically, it had this tone of 'something terrible happened, but im going to continue with this planned trip and im determined to enjoy it for her...' then I switched to the audio, and heather graham reads literally every single thing with a trembling breathy voice, like she's about to go into a grief coma, or allow herself to simply fall off the edge of a bridge... I suggest reading physically. lol. "this gelato was AMAZING!" shouldn't sound suicidal... thats all im saying... lol

[@susanreads1960]

Great video! I added Spoonbenders and Legends and Lattes to my TBR. I hadn’t heard of either before. 😀

what a beautiful edition of pride and prejudice! also I loved your recs! They are so spot on ! I will be picking up The Thursday Murder Club because I loved Only Murders in the Building :)

[@kristyfolsom3218]

🎬 Book recommendation: The Messy Lives of Book People by Phaedra Patrick. Also because of a writing assignment my students were working on (one choice of which was Stranger Things) and my colleagues and I are trying to ignite or reignite a love of reading, o shared the link for this video in my classroom platform!

[@valeriethibodeau6994]

I was so sure you would recommend a book from Caroline Kepnes to pair with You, since she is the author of the book that inspired the tv show ^^' Glad you didn't though because I just added For your own good to my tbr!

[@extraordinarilyalli7848]

Love your recommendations! I have found several I need to check out now! Always adding to the TBR 😄🎬

[@moodyfloral6234]

If you love Gilmore Girls, you might also love the romance novel Seven Days in June by Tia Williams. The heroine is a single mom, and she and her daughter gave me big Lorelai/Rory vibes.

[@kirstywilkinson3230]

This video is so good, thank you so much for the research you did into the recommendations! Couple of alternatives (although I think your suggestions are spot on!) the Six Stories series by Matt Wesolowski are great if you like podcast murder mysteries, especially the audio books! Lady’s guide to fortune hunting by Sophie Irwin and Beautiful ones by Silvia Moreno Garcia for regency!

[@alexandraroselyn]

Love these Kristy!!! Thank you for your recs as well! 😊❤️❤️

[@maxeytatey7390]

For a mystery book with a podcast element I would highly recommend Six Stories by Matt Wesolowski. It also has the 'is it supernatural, or is it not' kind of vibes.

Please, please, please go watch The Umbrella Academy S2/3 and Lock and Key S2/3. I love both of the shows because of the character dynamics (and LAK especially bc of the magic things) and trust me, both these get just better and better in the ongoing seasons. ❤️📺
