A lot of people mistake Folk of the Air for a Romantasy and it's not. It is a political fantasy with a romantic sub plot. The enemies to lovers is in there and it's fantastic but it's not the point of the story. I feel like it's marketed poorly for what it is.

[@SarahsCozyCorner]

I completely agree!!! If it was marketed as a political intrigue fantasy it would be rated way higher 🥲🥲

[@suzeeabdelrahman6978]

Yes. Happy you experienced the greatness of seven year slip. Read it on my kindle and want a physical copy for a reread soon ❤

[@cindystephens6997]

I loved the House Across the Lake

I read The Seven Year Slip last week. And it was so unexpected based on the back of the book synopsis and the cover. I was blown away. 5 star for me too ❤❤

i’ve been waaaaiting for you to read spark of the everflame ever since you mentioned it 😭 the kindreds curse saga is a 5 star series for me!

[@imrankhalfe4557]

I purchased Cruel Prince and absolutely love it 🥰. I started to read it because of you 😊. You are my favorite booktube queen who got me into reading… Thank you so much for posting this… gonna take book recommendations from this. I personally recommend that you read The Reappearance of Rachel Price and The Silent Patient, I love thrillers, especially since you didn’t like The House Across The Lake. Please give it a go… The Reappearance of Rachel Price is the same author who wrote AGGGTM and I saw your reaction to it. I would love to see you read my book recommendation in a future video. Love you and your videos 💕❤

[@SarahsCozyCorner]

Yayyy I’m so happy you loved the cruel prince!! 🥹🥹❤️❤️ I read the silent patient early 2023 and ATE IT UP!!! Omg i definitely need to read the reappearance of Rachel price cuz I love AGGTm!!! Have added it to my never ending TBR 🤣😅😅

[@francescamercieca2714]

Love your videos. Did not get any 5 star reads in a while. Currently reading Love on the Brain - may be a close one. Thank you for your videos , I really look forward to them.

[@SarahsCozyCorner]

Thank you so much!! Oh nooo I hope you find a 5 star read soon!! 🥹🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@eleonorar6216]

My 2 five stars this year are Anna Karenina and David Copperfiled ❤

[@SarahsCozyCorner]

I’ve been meaning to read Anna Karenina for so long!! So happy you gave it a 5 star!!

[@tahaminaarifin1006]

I was thinking reading once upon a broken heart series but saw everywhere that the 3rd book was not worth it, after seeing your video where you read the curse for true love and you said you loved that , i immediately start reading that series. And i agree with you, I loved the 3rd book! 😁 Adding your 5⭐into my tbr 😬

[@SarahsCozyCorner]

Omg YAYYYY im so happy you also loved the 3rd book in that series!!! Its so underrated 🥹🥹❤️❤️

[@ashleybeckrreads_]

I felt the same about house across the lake!! 💯

[@poppycalliope]

Piranesi is just something else ✨️💙☁️ why haven't I bought the crimson moth yet!!! You got me so excited to read it 🙈💕 I think you have read all of my 5 star reads so I don't have any suggestions 😂

Thank you so much for inspiring me to read Piranesi!!! What a book OMG😍😍🌊 bestie you need to read the crimson moth ASAP! I think you’ll love it 🥰

[@happydays5141]

Would definitely recommend reading ‘The Silent Patient’! Was a 5 star book for me especially coming out of a reading slump. I hope to see it in your July wrap up 🤞🤞

[@SarahsCozyCorner]

Omg I read the silent patient early last year and ATE IT UP!!! Such a good thriller omg

[@LibrariesandLattes]

In June I also read 8 books, had 3 five stars, 1 DNF, and read Piranesi and The Seven Year Slip! 😂 Piranesi was one of those 5 stars for me as well, and also Seven Days in June and Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson!

[@SarahsCozyCorner]

We had such a similar June WTF🤣🤣 book twins!!! I’m so glad piranesi was also a 5 star for you!! Omg I need to read a Brandon Sanderson book asap!! Which would you recommend to a beginner that hasn’t read any of his books before?

[@LibrariesandLattes]

@@SarahsCozyCorner so similar! Piranesi was absolutely amazing!! I loved The Seven Year Slip too, it was closer to a 4 star but might go up over time, haha. Yeah you do need to read him! 😂 Hmm, a lot of people recommend starting with Mistborn which I would agree with. There are so many lists of the “correct” reading order for his books which gets a little overwhelming and I have only read a handful of his books so far so I’m not the authority on that, haha. But I also would recommend Tress of the Emerald Sea! 😍

[@ain4951]

Just wanted to thank you for introducing & pushing me to pick up a VE Schwab book because I read The Invisible life of Addie Larue and that book is easily my top read for the year so far!!! Your review on Vicious made me want to pick that one up next. I also read House across the lake last year & that was the last book I ever picked up from Riley Sager unfortunately. I love my thrillers but he's just not one of my go-to author's for that. So glad you had such an amazing reading month with three 5 star books babe!!! ❤ I don't have a 5 star read for June but I have 4.75 book called Strange Sally Diamond by Liz Nugent. My first ever book from her & would not be my last!!!

[@SarahsCozyCorner]

Oh my goodness I AM SOOO happy you read and LOVED the invisible life of addie larue!! It’s a 6 star book for me🥹❤️ how good was the ending!! Im glad I’m not the only one who also wasn’t very fond of the house across the lake!! Don’t think I’ll be picking up any more thrillers from Riley 😅 Thank you so much for recommendation!! I’ve added it to my list 🥹❤️

[@loiseigenraam]

If you love to ponder, pls read Our Wives Under the Sea!

[@SarahsCozyCorner]

Pondering my fav past time activity 🤣 thank you for the recommendation!! Wrote it down on my “want to buy” list hehe🥰📚

[@anjaz5292]

The only 5 star reads I have for this year are the Divine Rivals duology and Just of the Summer by Abby Jimenez. But last year's 5 star and favourite book is Archer's voice and I still think about it almost every day (and I read it well over a year ago now). I would love for you to read that one!😍

[@amandaweeraratne7854]

love this month of reading for u !! i recommend the everless duology by sara holland. it’s a personal fav of mine i’d love to hear your reactions !! 🤍

[@SarahsCozyCorner]

Thank you girlie!! Oooo thank you!!! Noted it down!! Looks like a beautiful fantasy romance 😍

[@karolinazounkova241]

Sadly I was in a huge reading slump in June however the book that got me out of it and I rated 5⭐️ was Late Bloomer by Mazey Eddings . Such an amazing sapphic romance with a lot of Taylor Swift references 💕 I’d definitely recommend this book to all fellow swifties

[@andrearestrepo5292]

I saw your haul video that included “tuesday’s with morrie” & id love to hear what you’d have to say about it. My best friend recommended it to me with her literally saying “it’s about the authors tuesdays with morrie”. I trusted her even though i was SUPER underwhelmed. GIRL. I read it in 2 days because i didnt want it to end. I grabbed another book of his, same thing happened. He became my favorite author besides maya angelou (because duh, shes a queen - recommend her as well if you havent! I know why the caged bird sings is a famous one of hers along with her poetry too “still i rise”) Mitch Albom has such an easy writing skill but very “keeps you focused”; kind of like being in your favorite class in school where you were excited and happy to be learning - if that makes any sense. ALL his books have some sort of life lesson in it or at least makes you think (at least i took a lesson in every book and made me think) Ive re-read multiple of his books and it always touches a part of my life differently depending on how life is going. highly recommend mitch albom. If you like tuesdays with morrie, next try “the 5 people you meet in heaven”. i promise this isnt one of those “shove religion down your throat” “have you heard of jesus, jesus loves you” type of book. The premise just happens to be in heaven and the 5 people you meet there (not me summarizing the same way my friend did to me! Haha! Underwhelming i know, just trust me). One of my favorites of all time, highly recommend

[@evelientx]

what a great month!! I read tsys in april and loved it too and im also usually not much into romance books. I added Piranesi to my tbr! do you have a goodreads? X

[@chaoticstargirlx]

i didnt read any 5 stars unfortunately and i agree with the cruel prince the fact that it was marketed as a romantasy and the romance was very minimal made me rate it low and not enjoy it as much 🤧

My 5 star for july is hideaway by penelope douglas. Still am making my way through devils night series

[@SarahsCozyCorner]

Oooo I’ve never read anything by Penelope Douglas!! I’m curious about that series!! I need to dip my toes in dark romance

[@normafromthenorth]

@SarahsCozyCorner I personally think it's a really good introduction into dark romance as it's got a little bit of everything. My next read is the 3rd book. There is a character I'd say who comes across as a bit of a villain and this 3rd book is about him. Feel nervous but exited and curious to learn why he's the way he is. Looking forward to ur upcoming videos and I got my fingers crossed for u to find many 5 star reads x.

I completely agree with your opinion on the house across the lake, I really enjoyed the entire book, I liked the author's writing style too, it kept me on edge but that plot twist just ruined it for me, it felt too crazy, just not realistic. I hated it too, there are better psychological thrillers out there honestly

I only read a book this June and it was a 3 star read 😆 also the only book I read this year that was a 5 star was a sign of affection, which is manga. It’s about a romance between a deaf college student and a person of hearing, if you’re looking into read a manga I’d definitely recommend it, it’s so wholesome 🥹 it also has an anime adaptation!
