Rachel, you should read little women if you love the Victorian era kind of books. It does not play in the Victorian era but the way they talk is AMAZING. The story is quite slow paced but teaches you so much and is incredibly wholesome!! Great way to get into classics as well!!

[@kimberlyschroeder7409]

The nice thing about the Stephanie Archer books is that there isn’t actually a third act conflict/break up. The third act issue is usually more of a personal issue than the couple breaking up

[@cammirose1097]

Rachel girly I shouldn’t believe your tbr book videos anymore 😭

[@RachelCatherine]

Bestie I’m gonna try really hard this month 😭

[@Megan.A.Ells.]

It’s so relatable though. I picked a monthly TBR made up of 6 books & read 2 😂😅

[@Sofie_stars2021]

Please keep the rude comments to ur self Rachel deserves better she’s trying real hard 😢❤

[@Judeeee08]

Is it really necessary that she reads from her tbr ?? Even though she has a channel.. she’s allowed to read books that ISN’T on her tbr and that’s totally okay. We are all reading for FUN and it’s not even that big of a thing. Tbr’s are there to prioritise our reads and reading should not be FORCED. Please keep these comments off. Let her live her life pleaseee ! 😭

loveee your new bookshelves as the background 🥰✨

I clicked this video so fast. Your one of my favorite KZbinrs because your Australian. As a kiwi you post in my time zone and in general your videos just calm me. The reading journal is such a cool idea I want to start. I’m 15 and read 10 books this month, I was reading along with you in your videos

I love when rach posts 😭🫶

[@lozxcam]

Late 1800s. Banter and Tension. Mystery and crime solving. Veronica Speedwell series by Deanna Raybourn. I’ve only ever found it on Amazon in Aus but they are such fun book! I think you would love them!

[@MariamRizvi]

I can't get over how beautiful your bookshelves look in the background! I am obsessed with the set up 😍

[@herrahakkarainen2494]

You should definitely read the Veronica Speedwell series if you love the Stalking Jack the Ripper series! It is amazing!!!!!

[@stanfran4421]

I just found your channel today and have been binging your videos ! I love the way you talk about & approach books :) also love the verses at the beginning of each video, I’m so excited to keep up with you as my first booktuber!

[@stefaniemaddalena1390]

I read 9 books in march. So proud of myself. You bookTubers are inspiring me to read more ❤

[@KlairePopovich]

I'm so happy you posted Rachel 💕

[@elyseirwin2587]

So excited every time you post. I absolutely love your bookshelves in the background. You did such a wonderful job organizing them. That room looks so cozy. I’m so glad you got to set up your own little library. Thank you for getting me back in my reading era! Sending much love.

[@JemimaRose]

this was so thorough! I loved it. 🤍🤍

[@TheBookChameleon]

I love Victorian era books as well! Such a vibe!

I love a good mood reading month🥰 that’s honestly me every month 🤣

[@shilohmorris5527]

You NEEEED to read the Bridge Kingdom series. Its so good it pulled me from a year- long book slump

[@adorabletaetae]

I read the truly devious trilogy last week and literally ate it up. I had so much fun reading it and now I just found out there are spinoffs??!! Sign me up

[@maddycat9324]

Rachel literally two seconds ago I just finished Zodiac Academy… it was SO GOOD. PLEASE PLEASE READ!! so happy to see u posted 💗💗

Mood reading is the best!

Needed this today! Love it when you post💕

[@allradreads]

Based on what you said you liked about stalking Jack the Ripper series I feel like you would loveeeee the gilded wolves trilogy! It’s very historically based but the atmosphere is just so cool. The first book is set in vintage Paris! It’s also a series with magical heists (think six of crows).

[@gbbeauty7087]

my fave time of the month 😊

[@eamberphotos]

Rachel your shelves look so good!!!! I love your videos 🫶🏻🩷

[@bethanyorison3663]

If you need a regency romance (that doesn't have difficult language to understand) you HAVE to read Edenbrooke by Julianne Donaldson. One of my favorite books, great banter, no spice, and the best atmosphere!

[@RachelCatherine]

Ooooh I’ll add it to my list!! 🤭

[@Showtunediva]

@@RachelCatherine Add The Belles Of London series by Mimi Matthews to your list as well.❤

[@bookthoughtswitheilish]

Loving the new backdrop, the shelves are immaculate! 💕 I love Truly Devious as well, though I need to keep going with the series 📚

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Amazing video Rachel!!

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Rachel happy Easter to you and your loved ones and I hope you having amazing day today and this was amazing video I enjoy your channel

[@codygardner1598]

loooook at the backdrop😍

[@hannahyoder7949]

I had the same reaction to Finlay Donovan 😅 it actually reminded me some of Dial A for Aunties because of the ridiculousness of the storyline.

[@martagb2655]

Hi bestie! I love your wrap up videos❤

[@RachelCatherine]

Ty bestie 🥹

[@user-nz2oe1xh4e]

I loved the Liz TomForde series!! I have read all 3 books! My ranking is 1.) The Right Move 2.) Mile High 3.) Caught Up I’m so glad you got to the Right Move! Ryan Shay is top tier book boyfriend!

[@rosemandle]

Girl!! Ive got a recency author for you!!! Okay okay her name is Sarah M Eden, and she has two series that interlock for the last book. The Lancaster Family is the first, timeline wise, and you follow each member of the family as they fall in love, and the Jonquil Family is the second family and you do the same for each of the brothers. But but but get this! The last book has the youngest child of both of the families fall in love and Ahhhhh! The found family and real family and the love!!!! Not to mention the writing only gets better the farther you get and ugh I so reccomend!

[@manonvo8615]

Love match sounds so good. Adding to my want to read. I love small town settings and I don't think I've read anything set in Australia, but that sounds so fun!

[@mirandaaolsen]

you favor Margot Robbie to me. you’re just absolutely stunning. love your content sm! 🩷

[@Jordan_elaine]

I couldn’t understand the love for finlay either! I was sooo stressed the whole time 😂😂😂

[@mateeaelenaalexandru]

I haven't read Stalking Jack the Ripper, but it gives me major Anatomy by Dana Schwartz vibes. I think you'll really enjoy that duology

[@Strawberries1982]

I completely agree with your take on Finley Donovan!! I was so bummed too because there are so many fun looking sequels. But she was so frustratingly dumb/lucky and the way she treated her kids as simultaneously the reason for all of her crazy actions but also after thoughts to shuffle off to her sister and the babysitter drove me crazy. I just read a book that felt like the same category but done much better that you might like if you haven’t read it- Everyone in my Family has Killed Someone. The audio version was great!

[@addisonjc]

happy birthday rachel!! we Share the same bday 🤍🤍 hope your day is wonderful 💐

[@AlexT1210]

Hey earlyyy i love your videos

[@lucydasilva7820]

I really love the bible verses at the start of every video

[@leen34568]

i’m not even christian and i love them too!

[@anna-brandtt]

Video rec! Would loveee to see you tier tank book boyfriends💗

[@connyp7979]

I felt the same way about Finlay Donovan. She was stressing me out lol

[@elliejewelreads]

I love this format! Its so amazing and I got so many book recs! If you like YA mystery/thriller you should read Dream to Me by Megan Paasch. Its such a good book that follows a girl who moves to a small town to live in her aunt's house. Its hard to explain without spoiling but I think you would like it

[@flowersandflour2915]

I recently read the One with the Kiss Cam by Cindy Steel. I really enjoyed it. It’s very sweet!

[@abigailhaller1091]

I think you just need to unhaul Babel at this point lol.

[@thesandrapages]

You’re so right about Finlay Donovan though 🤣 I still want to read the second book… but it still is 100% ridiculous

[@shananncassady5377]

Have you ever heard of Morris Gleitzman but anyways love your book recommendations I need to read that "mile high" and the "right move"😃📚 and OMG this "escaping from Houdini" absolutely suspenseful!

[@sereneadair4941]

Watched Georgia this morning and you now. There was something about March. I felt the same as you.

[@RachelCatherine]

🥹🌷💜

[@Rose_coloured]

If you like regency/Victorian style murder mysteries with a scientific background may I suggest the Kendra Donovan series by Julie McElwain. Their are 5 books in the series as of now and follow an FBI agent that travels back in time to recency London and gets wrapped up in a murder mystery.

[@coffeeeandskies]

rachel can you reading your subscribers fav book and finishing series you are in the middle of

[@leni568]

Loved this video, I’ll give the mile high series a go then❤ I just recently read behind the net too but I felt like the characters had no chemistry at all.. and that’s what makes a good sports romance for me, not the spice but whether the characters truly have a connection!

[@RachelCatherine]

so true!!

[@BookswithKaitlyn]

completely agree about the unfortunate side effects of heartbreak and magic. The overall plot was how things in the garden were dying and she was trying to find a solution. Sadie has three allowed heartbreaks and has already had two. If she has a third then she loses her magic and so part of her goal is to not put herself into a situation where she experiences the third. But... her grandmother is sick which would be a third. Not going to say more because it would spoil the book for everyone else

[@amyedlin8153]

Me starting the video: I bet she didn’t read Babel Me at 20 seconds: Yep 😂

[@reading.rachel.]

i too neglected multiple books on my march tbr 😆

[@l.e.n.a.n.e.l4526]

pls give the third windy city book a chance. I personaly think its the vest😊

[@coffeeeandskies]

april is a month of lot of new releases can we expect a anticipated new releases reading vlog✊🏻🤭

[@bonniemae1397]

A great YA regency series is American Royals!!!

[@BambuProductions]

Rachel its all of us failing miserably at our TBR's attempts😂

[@LibrariesandLattes]

I’m planning to read Half a Soul this month and can’t wait!! Finlay Donovan is ridiculous but I loved it, I don’t even care 😆

[@RachelCatherine]

I hope you enjoy it 🤭 I wish I could’ve seen past the ridiculousness 😭

[@LibrariesandLattes]

@@RachelCatherine thank you, I have a good feeling, especially since I loved Emily Wilde!! And yeah that’s totally valid, haha. I also started to enjoy the books less as the series has gone on, it’s hard to make that continue for so long 😬😂

[@Showtunediva]

6:38 Behind The Net was boring and way too long. 7:53 I can’t wait to read these!❤

[@ChanelChapters]

I also adored half a soul

[@ssd1453]

I LOVED finlay donovan! I think it was meant to be silly and fun:) xoxo

[@AshleyJade18]

I am currently reading Magnolia Parks the long way home. I am loving it BUT it is taking me awhile to get through. I have covid (which i assumed would mean i had PLENTY of time to read) BUT i have been soo sleepy! 😴 .. Also, we obviously don't need an explanation but i just want to say that i am missing the vlogs 🥰

[@luvmiyax]

Clicked on this vid so fast!

[@milli0617]

Have you read Anatomy by Dana Schwarzt? The time period is similar to the Jack the Ripper series and i thin it's also YA. In this book the main charakter is a girl who wants to be become a doctor but isn't allowed to. She tries to got to school dressed as a man and becomes involved in a mystery. I think you could really like it.

[@RachelCatherine]

I haven’t but I’m hoping to read it really soon because so many people have recommended it!!

[@TaylorJ]

Okay I see Gild on your shelf… assuming you’ve read it, how is the series?? I’ve been thinking of starting it

[@Tiffs-bookshelf]

I wanted to read more... I was super sick most of the month lol. I did not get a chance to read Magnolia Parks: Into the Dark! I know I am going to absolutely love it. here is hoping April is the month

[@leen34568]

that book broke me. literally broke me. i loved it and i’m sure you will too. btw a tip, because i forgot a lot of things from previous books, i took notes about daisy and what we see in this book about her so that i don’t forget about these details when the next book comes out.

[@shaylaatiles]

I loved Finlay Donovan; I gave it 4.5! It’s definitely what I call a “mom” book 🤣

[@RachelCatherine]

I’m so glad you loved it!!!

[@sehbasareen6669]

I agree with your opinion on finlay donnawan so boring so overhyped don't remember anything about the book other than me struggling with it

[@miiiiaaah]

I wish I could forget behind the net 😳

[@brittdrath]

I always have to convince myself that you are not Margot Robbie's long lost little sister....happy reading in April, Rach!

[@BambuProductions]

Unfortunate side effects of heartbreak and magic was sold as mix between Practical Magical and Gilmore girls it was kinda cute but frankly underwhelming.

[@nikki2442]

Hey girl! Great video but i think you forgot to give ratings after the review for each book 😢

[@kaitlynkleven]

Never watching your tbr videos again 😂😂😂

[@kaitlynkleven]

I been waiting for you to read Babel for like 8 months looking at it on that damn cart 😂😂😂 & then I watch your wrap ups and im like… what happened RACHEL

[@Showtunediva]

@@kaitlynkleven She says in the beginning of the video that she was busy with moving this month. Give her a bit of understanding.

[@leen34568]

i never watch tbr videos 😂 i love our booktubers but they never actually stick to them💀💀

[@daKal481]

I thought Finlay Donovan was crazy and fun but did not like Really Good, Actually.

[@riaamvs7689]

just wanted to start a conversation but i think its a bit unrealistic to be reading 15 books a month. i feel like booktubers have that pressure and it's unfair to them. This month for me was a slow one and i think i only read maybe 5 or less books.
