[@NoelleGallagher]

Just finding your channel and I’m IN LOVE! Love the quality, the books, the shelves and your hair! 🧡

[@KalynAbridged]

Ahh thank you Noelle! I’m in love with your channel as well so that means a lot! Also thanks for the compliment on the hair 😉🧡

[@uniquelykmee9688]

The moment Noelle is a fan you just know you will love the content

[@JemimaRose]

i feel like your personality really shone out in this video. :') you seemed so confident & happy!

[@KalynAbridged]

Aww that’s so sweet! I’m glad it came through! 🥺💛

[@nitaroberts5182]

I grew up loving Practical Magic , so happy you are talking about Alice Hoffman 's books.

[@ashleygeis4469]

Night Film is INCREDIBLE, one of my favorite books of all time. It pulls you in so many different directions and the atmosphere is so spot on. You’re never bored while reading it, and the mixed media was really fun too. It’s just perfect in my opinion!

[@christineobrien6590]

The Secret History is one of my all time favorite books. Donna Tartt can pretty much write about nothing and I'll read it. I don't know how to describe it but she is one gifted writer. She only comes out with one novel every 10 years but once it comes out its an instant best seller. Rebecca is also another one of my favorites and love the edition you got!! Enjoy! Great haul!!

[@anon9069]

the inheritance games is not like the hunger games at all haha, its a mystery with no fantasy elements at all

[@katemccrea6963]

My ancestory is Scots Irish and Norwegian. I've been buysing books about fables and stories of my ancestors recently. It's faccinating.

[@morraquelee]

“This is how you lose the time war” is suuuuch a jewel ✨ Loving the book selection, sis has good taste!

[@ahbooks3]

I’ve seen so much about ‘When No One is Watching’. I’ve found an audiobook on Scribd and I can’t wait to read it. Also, I adore ‘The Secret History’, I hope you enjoy it

[@jordanhutson6962]

The Count of Monte Cristo and The Talented Mr Ripley are two of my faves! The movies are good too if quite different ❤

[@blesschristiannechua1650]

Everytime i watch my favorite booktubers,i personally see the full puffin in bloom collection and i only have the little women of the collection

[@Blessedmommy22]

“This year is a skip year” YES 😂

[@Erika-pq7ip]

Oh my god you look like a real life princess 🥺💘

[@grape9042]

I love the Inheritence games and I really recommend it, but you should know it is nothing like the Hunger Games or Maze Runner, and is a lot more like Knives Out.:)

[@sotiredofurlies]

I was looking to see if anyone commented this lol 😂

[@thinkinginprint4639]

The Count of Monte Cristo is so worth the time. I loove that book

[@siham4820]

I've had "If we were villains" for so long on my wishlist, can't wait to hear what you think about it !

[@KalynAbridged]

Yes I’ve seen so many people love it! I’ll definitely let you know 🥰

[@aryagrace5079]

Definitely one of my all time favourite reads!! I’ve read it in July and I’m still not over it

[@thinkinginprint4639]

Ahhh me too

[@BaileeWalsh]

So many great books! The Secret History, Dracula, Rebecca, Poe's stories- those are some of my favorite books! And you mentioned quite a few I would like to read and are on my never ending TBR. oooh, my favorite movie is based on The Talented Mr. Ripley. I haven't read the book but I've seen two adaptations of it- the 1999 American adaptation and, as I just said, my favorite film: Plein Soleil (AKA Purple Noon) (1960). It's a French film.

[@tiger.lilly.beginnings4354]

Kingdom of the Wicked ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ flew through it in 2 days. It was amazing and could not put it down!

[@ailishlayden]

I loved a discovery of witches! Just waiting for my copy of the second one to arrive!

[@isabellaistrying]

ahhh your hair looks so good! it suits you so well 🥰

[@carlazaragoza1743]

Yay! I saw my favorite book mentioned here! 😃 A Discovery of Witches !!!

[@ScullyPop]

This is my first time here. The algorithm recommended you. I love the channel so far.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I’ve heard such good things about the inheritance games! I want to read it so badly!

[@proseandcons7730]

I’m so happy that you’ll read the Narnia series! I love them so much (but know that ‘the horse abs his boy + prince caspian’ are a bit slow and not as action packed and interesting as the rest) My rank from worst to best of the books: 7) the horse and his boy 6) prince caspian 5) the last battle 4) the lion the witch and the wardrobe 3) the magicians nephew 2) the silver chair 1) the voyage of the dawn treader

[@kaitlyn_reynolds]

That edition of Kingdom of the Wicked is STUNNING!! Where is it from? Because I need it stat lol

[@mads2327]

It is the fairyloot edition 😊

[@dominiquesolognier7255]

Thank you for the video. You've both distracted me and inspired me to draft up a shopping list 😄🧡

[@middlehermana]

I just found your channel and subscribed! I love your aesthetic and I'm literally about to go binge watch videos haha

[@uniquelykmee9688]

Winnie is precious! Also I've had my eye on Horrid for a while. I definitely had a witch binge earlier this year

[@Carolinesbookworld]

This video was such a nice surprise! Also I was wondering, could you do a bookshelf tour? I love the set up of yours 😍

[@Steph_W]

It may be long, but The Count of Minte Cristo is very easy, fun, and a page turner!

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

AND I'm requesting all the books from my library . . . so dangerous. So many great looking ones! I love The Inheritance Games cover!

[@ChantelReadsAllDay]

I read Rebecca earlier this year and thought I would love it but didn't but I haven't stopped thinking about it so I think I need to re-read it soon.

[@AbiAbley]

The ITV version of Northanger Abby is a really fun adaptation if you can get hold of it

[@AbiAbley]

Also... Rebecca is amazing and set in Cornwall, it feels like Cornwall, I love it. I’ve just finished Dracula and really enjoyed it. Want to read Frankenstein

[@emilisse]

Hi I’m Mayra I just saw your channel and had to subscribe your videos are amazing. Oh and your bookshelves are beautiful.

[@Coffeeandkafka]

That’s a first edition of the secret history!! Good find :)

[@lyindabnv]

I am in for a treat! TWO VIDEOS IN A WEEK? YAY 🥰💖

[@KalynAbridged]

Haha yay!! Surprise!!

[@starian72]

I liked practical magic (the book) but I LOVEEDDD the rules of magic, it was a 5 star read for me!! I can't wait to read magic lessons! clown in a cornfield was a fun read.

[@alexandraroselyn]

I am OBSESSED with your hair!!!😩❤️❤️❤️

[@AlyssaReids]

So many great books. I hope you get to them soon. Happy Reading!!!

[@AnniesBookNook]

LOVE all the witchy books in this haul!! I really want to read the bone witch and if we were villains

[@alyssacascos8665]

Horrid by Katrina Leno is seriously amazing! It is one of my favorite books I read this year 💕💕💕actually one of my favorite books of all time😊

[@livslibrary]

Oooh would love to buddy read The Secret History! I feel like I’d only be able to get through that one if I read it with someone. 😅 I love how your sassy snarky personality came out in this video. 😂

[@kennedyparrish9092]

The Rules of Magic was awesome, and I read it before Magic Lessons or Practial Magic!

[@zoemurphy4159]

“If We Were Villains” is definitely not a YA book! It takes place at a university and has some adult themes. It is very similar, genre wise, to “The Secret History” by Donna Tartt.

[@leahclarkmusic5762]

I feel like adult themes are okay for YA because it’s 18+ readers

[@zoemurphy4159]

@@leahclarkmusic5762 hello, I’m a librarian first off. Second, idk where you’re from that YA is 18+ but in the US it means teen unless you’re Sarah J Maas and don’t give a crap. I’m all for letting young people read what they want, but categorising it somewhere where the author intended it not to be is probably not good. Kinda like how Nevernight is put in the YA section when Jay Kristoff, the author, and his publishers categorised it in Adult because of certain topics and themes. Don’t get me wrong, a young person still has every right to pick it up and read it, but the catergories are there for a reason, so that the reader can know what sort of content they’re getting into.

[@oliviakay630]

The Truly Devious series is so good! I flew through those books ❤️

[@GavinReadsItAll]

I’m so happy you love your books, very excited for you to be reading allll the middle grades 😄💙

[@aizahsadiq2952]

[@1708renee]

You mentioned Scottish.. Have you read Outlander? OMG

[@georgiefarr1094]

Truly Devious is on my TBR for January 2021. I've heard good things about it and the cover is stunning 💙💙💙 And Kingdom of the Wicked. So beautiful 💀🖤

[@KalynAbridged]

Right both of them such are beautiful books, I really want to pick then up because of how pretty they are 🙌🏻

[@katreads]

loved this video and your hair! The main character of the bone witches name is pronounced Te-uh according to the audiobook just FYI!

[@i_am_robinnxp]

All of these sound super intriguing but I feel like they’re gonna scare the hell out of me 🌝 I’m a baby when it comes to thrillers/horror 🙈

[@arianna4152]

hiiii!! I never clicked on a video so faast!! also your hair is so beautiful

[@hayleyamengual5670]

Hello! I really enjoyed this video. I like your aesthetic and your brief synopsis of each book :). Currently reading If We Were Villains and you have a good time of reading in store for you! I was wondering where you got your copy of If We Were Villains? I could only find the paperback version with the plain black background.

[@SPumpkinxo]

New subscriber here! I love your channel and your energy 🥰 Fun fact: I am British and live in England! My grandparents live in the village where Mary Shelley lived and there is a plaque outside her house to show where she lived and where she wrote Frankenstein! If you're into planning and journalling I have a KZbin: pumpkinplans, I'm also over on Instagram with that name too 🥰 have a wonderful day xx

If you like books about Vikings and Irish fantasy, try Beyond A Darkened Shore by Jessica Leake

[@mariaprekag]

Hey Kalyn I am so in love with your hair! Your eyes look stunning with that hair colour. By the way you look totally amazing!!! Also I think you have to read the Song of Achilles, since you loved Circe so much ( In my opinion the Song of Achilles is SO much better than Circe, so I believe that you will love it) I am so excited to watch your video! You always make my day, you just spread so much positivity! Hope you have an amazing day

[@KalynAbridged]

Aww thank you for saying that Maria! You’re always so sweet! Yes I really do need to pick Song of Achilles up I think I’ll love it. I hope you have the best day!!

[@nohelanikh6788]

Where did you find Nordic Tales? It’s beautiful! I love reading about myths and folktales, and would love to read that edition.

[@CamilaMartinez1327]

Now I want to read every single one of these books 😂

[@lisahansen6196]

Did you ever read the abhorsen series by Garth Nix? The first book is called Sabriel. I loooove that series so much. I think it'd be considered fantasy middle grade. Also I love the Hollow Kingdom Trilogy by Claire B Dunkle. It has goblins and elves. Its so magical I feel like you'd love it.

[@nohelanikh6788]

The Abhorsen series is one of my all time faves! I’m rereading the series right now. I haven’t read the Hollow Kingdom trilogy but I’m intrigued now.

[@laurakoehler1099]

I loved if we were villains!

[@kimt3864]
