I loved the first book and the show is SO good!

[@Sabrina-qu3rb]

I love that you’re posting so much more!! I love your taste, the style of your videos, your suggestions, that you are truly passionate about books 😍 I’m always looking forward to your videos and when you don’t upload I just rewatch your videos all over again!!! I really hope you keep uploading as much as you do now even if I know that life sometimes gets in the way 😢

Yay thank you!! I'm trying to film and upload as much as possible to make up for December LOL. Thanks for watching and the support

[@BethanyRavenscroft]

From Blood and Ash was one of my favourite reads last year! I cannot WAIT for the third book to come out this year, i’m sure you’ll love it

[@VanillaMoon]

I just know I'm gonna read it and not shut up about it all year LOL. I'm so excited!

[@Tinahgirl83]

Is it done after the third book? Or will it be a longer series?

[@BethanyRavenscroft]

@@Tinahgirl83 It’s going to be a longer series! I’m pretty sure JLA has said that she wants to write 5 or 6 books for the series

[@telsataylor2032]

I wonder how many people actually love reading then gave it up twice in there lives to finally restart doing it? me I am a book lover again I hope to stick to it this time, and I am self studying mathematics as a pastime hobby technically I was going to do physics to but I found out home much I love reading and math, so I am sticking to reading and math, maybe it will help me advance my vocabulary not that I can not spell I can just saying it might help me more on that and alot of things, and my written grammar and maybe someday I can become an author myself. I always did love to read I just did not know I would go back to it, I am working on my own novel im making called miracle child, I was thinking to make it a family type book but like all humans I have adult fantasies and we all can imagine what that is so Im still thinking about things.

That's a beautiful edition of Jane Austin book.

[@VanillaMoon]

I adore it ✨

[@Wolfhailstorm]

Oooh I may jump on for the throne of glass readathon! I stopped before queen of shadows, so may jump in then x

[@gracesbooknook9070]

I'm curious to see what you think about Fangirl. Everyone seems to really like that book, but it was a 3 star read for me at most.

[@VanillaMoon]

I read it a few years ago and I loved it at the time! I’m curious as to weather my rating may have changed by now so reading the graphic novel should make my mind up now!

[@gemanderson8162]

I'm planning to read the raven cycle and clockwork angel as I've not read them before, also assasins blade I started a couple of weeks ago, and would love to join in with you reading throne of glass. Also I think you'll really enjoy jane Austen's pride and Prejudice, it can take a bit of time to get into the language style, so old school but after I'd read it the first time I just had a sense that I'd just finished reading the greatest book ever written, it really was so good.

[@WatchJolene]

You are going to love Blood and Ash! It's indeed perfect for Sarah J. Maas fans. Also it might be chunky but it's pretty quick! Do keep in mind that the book is pretty predictable, just don't give up on it because of that! I would love to see like a spoiler-y reading vlog, that would be so much fun...

[@VanillaMoon]

Yessss so happy to hear that!! I think I’ll fly through it tbh if it’s as good as everyone says 😅 I’ve been debating doing one so I might do it! 🖤

It’s four books and finishing the (7) books I started in December (3) which I have already finished and two out of the four I’m diffently going to read which is the first three books in the Nevermoor series and the Book Thief. I finished the first two books in the Nevermoor series started the third and have the Book Thief waiting to go.

[@audillelovemakeup]

There was a tons of books about vampires that are amazing since Twilight... check out Crave from Tracy Wolff , A southern book club’s guide to slaying vampires , House of night , vampire academy etc etc. My January TBR is: the ravens , boarding school Juliet (manga) , Buffy TheVampire Slayer comics (Hellmouth) & defining the decade: why your twenties matter and how to make the most of them ( non fiction)

[@VanillaMoon]

I’ve debated a couple of them but the mixed reviews have always put me off LOL. I have read vampire academy which I really liked. Ooo they sound good! I’ve ordered the ravens and I’m quite excited to give that a read this year hopefully 🤩

[@telsataylor2032]

I work in st Vincents hospice charity shop near me voluntary, im the one coding books and having them sent to music magpie and the other one to be sold on Amazon they sell alot of books in charity shops so there good places to get them my shop I work in usually sells them between 50p to £1 all depending if there paperback or hardback, we even sell comics, its done from people like people loving books like ourselves and we get money for them honestly its amazing all sorts and some are in good Nic like there been sent to us because of all reasons. maybe someday I will work in a library.

I got a deadly education in a book box but have been unsure about it so I will be interested in hearing your thoughts. And this is a good reminder for me to continue the throne of glass series. D: Ahhh I have been watching tokyo ghoul at the moment!! I am in season 2 and really enjoying it. Eventually I want to read it as well. Happy reading!!

Yesss apparently it’s one of the best middle grades out there so I’m so excited!! Yeah I really want to get to it soon! Yes!!! Throne of glass is amazing 🥰 I need to finish the anime I’m almost on season 3 but trying to read more of the manga first! You too!

[@ladyserena1989]

I was wondering if you would recommend Crescent City ? I really liked ACOTAR, but I didn’t like the TOG series, so I’m not sure if I should get it?

[@VanillaMoon]

OMG YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES. It’s quite different writing to her other series because it’s adult fantasy but it’s truly some of her best work yet IMO. I absolutely loved it!! It’s full of humour, cool creatures, murder mystery, a badass protagonist and sort of enemies to lovers! I have a reading vlog up on here that includes a review (it’s spoiler free) which might be worth a watch to help you make your mind up! Although I’m totally biased because I will read and love anything by SJM 😅

[@formulamegan1732]

As someone who has never read the Throne of Glass series,do you think I should read the prequel first and then head onto the ‘main’ books? What do you suggest? Love your videos btw!!xxxx

[@VanillaMoon]

I’d definitely recommend it! Lots of it ties into the first book and explains a lot of things as to why the main character is the way she is. Plus there are bits in throne of glass that mention stuff from the prequel! It’s not an absolute must but it will certainly make you enjoy the series more IMO 🥰 thanks so much xxxx
