My Patreons PICK WHAT I READ!! 📚 year of recs ep3

[@kirsty2299]

Kirsty in fact did not look away

[@elxnita]

😂😂😂

[@hayleyboynton]

😂

[@cozy_jesss]

This comment has me cackling 😂😂😂

[@meghanwalsh8952]

You should do an episode of asking your top 3 book tube twins from book tube twins test to reccomend you books!

[@lolo240]

Piranesi feels like walking through a museum like 20 minutes after it opens and it's just you and an elderly couple that don't speak english, and I really think it can depend on your headspace when you read it if that works for you or not 😂😂

[@1xcChantal]

I has such a hard time getting into this book, but around page 90 i was hooked, and I only gave it 4 stars because it took so long to get into the book. The ending is freaking amazing.

[@AliDoisRead]

“Kirsty look away” 😂

[@annabeeeee]

Maybe there could be a video where you read a couple of the "almost" recommendations that you've gotten throughout these videos (the second choices basically). Then you could compare whether your first or second choices were more successful or something. Love the video!

[@mikahbray548]

came to suggest this!

[@giuliag731]

Honestly feeling very validated by your reaction to Piranesi

[@kate-ne]

I'm genuinely shook that Piranesi wasn't a win! I felt so sure that it'd be everything you'd love lol

[@meljstephan]

Know My Name means so much to me. I do social work with SA survivors and was feeling really burnt out when I read that book, and her discussion of her advocates and nurses really reinvigorated me that kindness still matters.

[@Hannah-fx3vf]

This video was truly one of the best viewing experiences of my life. Of course watching it in Meg's Mystery Mansion voice chat with all of my patron friends amplified the emotions tenfold. We love you Meg! ❤

[@tabitha_h2000]

omg I am drooling over that edition of piranesi😍 5 star cover for a 5 star readddd (sorry you didn’t love it)

[@libraryofkaris]

it's our patreons time to shine!!! i'm sorry you didn't love all the books (piranesi hurt me a little bit) but we're winning overall which we LOVE to see!!!! btw for anyone thinking of joining the patreon DO IT! it's a super lovely community and we have a lot of fun with games nights, movie nights and reading sprints. I've made a bunch of new friends through the discord and I'm so grateful for the people you've brought together, meg 💗

[@sarah-louise22]

I’m really inactive on Patreon and miss a lot because I’m always so busy, but I always support you in the background 🩷 still love your videos and excited to see what you do next!

[@whateliseread]

i just had to join your patreon after this 😭😭 so happy to be supporting you even more and be part of the community 🤍🫶🏻

[@Natschington]

With Piranesi...I feeeel you. was so confused

[@myreadsbooks]

Okay meggg you have to read the tainted cup, truly you are the booktuber I was thinking about when I read it. I was like “Megwithbooks would LOVE this”

[@Lucymjx]

meg no ill cry 😭😭 the patreon is honestly the best thing ive joined! the discord is my favourite space its so welcoming and lovely! ❤

[@melaniefraser8827]

I felt the same about Piranesi, I thought it was just me😂

[@erinfox2671]

Seven Year Slip is AMAZING! HIGHLY recommend!

[@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk]

Best wishes with what you choose to read. I hope you get some great stories. I'm Currently reading the Count of Monte Cristo. Almost half way through now. Excellent but I will be some time!

[@novaartino2874]

I’ve read both the seven year slip and the final empire and I’m not 100% sure if you would have enjoyed them more or less. The seven year slip also has split timelines but it has some really interesting topics and a very sweet romance so maybe it would’ve balanced it out. I really liked the final empire but I don’t know if it does that many interesting things. It’s well crafted and I think the characters are very good but it’s a bit long and there are some parts I’d consider slow. I think it really depends on the mood you’re in LOL

[@LolaStrick]

Megan, it’s time to revisit The Will of the Many. It’s time, girlie!!

[@ktxx22]

Piranesi also Bored me to tears! Thank you for explaining your thoughts as well! I felt the exact same.

[@kirsty2299]

Here to tell anyone who’s thinking of joining the discord, DO IT. Its such a welcoming, safe and supportive community 🥹🤍

[@elxnita]

Just a warning, kirsty will make you read ask for Andrea

[@kirsty2299]

@@elxnita cannot confirm nor deny these allegations

[@connor98reilly]

In the thumbnail I’ve never been more honoured… will be returning to this comment when I finish the video but for now I’m hopeful for a 5 star Okay I'm back and I will take a 3 star I guess..... BUT ALSO THE PATREON IS SO WORTH. We have so much fun in the discord and we are always doing reading sprints and just having fun chats in general, there's a voice chat where we sometimes play games together etc

[@mmelonish]

Wait meg stop I'll cry 🥹

[@marshalmallow7192]

Subscribed to your patreon 🥰 I love your videos so much! I don’t remember how I came across your channel, but watching you I feel like I have a reading buddy lol. That’s worth 4 dollars to me lol

[@louisejames9064]

I have the middle dog that you held up from my childhood - what a coincidence! Love your videos😄

[@Anna2187_]

I felt the same about piranesi as you but I assumed you would’ve loved it! A lot of readers who enjoy atmospheric reads seem to love it so I thought that would be the same for you. But it makes more sense once you compared it to house of leaves 🧐

[@jaynehunter-ar]

I had the same feelings as you about Piranesi. It definitely wasn't for me.

[@meggwoolls9269]

I agree with all your ratings here.. I still vote for Penance as a possible 5 star for you! So happy you read Know My Name :D

[@samworley3960]

you should do an episode where you read a book you almost picked but didn’t from the previous episodes! like you read the seven year slip from this

[@zobookish]

No ok but what are your favourite book podcasts?

[@Alex18630]

Know My Name was just incredible ❤

[@cupcakenormajean9974]

As soon as I saw Piranesi come up as a suggestion I was like Megs not going to like that one 😂

[@bookswithlexie]

I felt the same way about House of Leaves like why are there 5 star sections and then we have Johnny 😭

[@katywall1898]

Your favorite book podcast? *ears perk up* So curious! What is it???

[@bethmw28]

Every time you talk about your patrons I'm very tempted to join! You sound like you have the best time 👌 also....you're never emotionally prepared for Ms. Chanel! 💔

[@Hannah-fx3vf]

Jooooiiiin usss! We love making new friends

[@bethmw28]

@@Hannah-fx3vf I might see you there soon! 😁😁😁

[@crushgoil]

Elatsoe is so so good! I hope you pick it up this year.

[@andreabknight]

I love the Kim Woodburn clips- more please!

[@aprilsecondchapter]

Oh and book podcasts?! Please do recommend some.

[@alyssa_jensen]

Well the mistborn girlies in the patreon will have to wait for our time in the sun! We are a patient lot! 😂 Also... Mistborn is not dual timeline. Juuuuuuuust saying 😉

[@BRhymesss]

I’m not even a patron and your little patreon talk made me tear up lol. Why am I this way Edit: ok now I am a patron hahaha

[@kirsty2299]

Welcome friend!! 🤍

[@anthropomorphicpeanut6160]

5:13 Connor and 6 other people have good taste

[@anthropomorphicpeanut6160]

Yessss it got chosen!!!

[@anthropomorphicpeanut6160]

29:20 well Piranesi and House of leaves are my two favourite books so... Lol

[@connor98reilly]

THANK YOU, I haven't read House of Leaves but now it's on my TBR

[@anthropomorphicpeanut6160]

@@connor98reilly just a heads up, it's less whimsy and literary than Piranesi. Still very enjoyable tho :D

[@glittergirl12341]

you should do a video of reading the runners up from each episode lol

[@booksandothershelves]

Thank you!! I didn’t care of Piranesi but it seems like EVERYONE else loves it. I was like, is there something wrong with me? But you make me feel normal 😂

[@saslkt]

i think you wouldve definitely loved the final empire🎉

[@broccoliforyou5236]

It's so funny how I can tell that you're gonna give the books a bad/good rating or that you are scared to tell your opinion, Meg😂. I just see your face the first two seconds of the take and I just know what you're gonna say. I think this is a huge part of why I love your content: you know how to strike interest in the viewers and I am always itchy to see what your opinion is, even if the book doesn't necessarily interest me

[@aprilsecondchapter]

Maybe it would be helpful if people gave reasons behind their recommendations. Things that you particularly like in books. I just got done reading Piranesi and I surprisingly enjoyed it and gave it 4⭐️ but I am a character driven/atmospheric reader. That being said I agreed with you on the there was no and...it just happened. Which is why it couldn't be 5 stars.

[@Nicoleheartsbooks]

I’ve got a white dog and I hate when the hair gets on my face. To find it I use my torch on my phone and just moving it around I spot the hair and can get rid of it lol

[@ke_nickie]

I really would love to join your Patreon but I’m in Australia and I’m worried I would miss a lot of the live shows because of the time differences 🥺 Can you let us know roughly what times you host them so I can see if I could make them? I’m sure I’m not the only one 👉👈

[@ke_nickie]

LOVE U QUEEN 🫶🫶

[@Brianna-qg1iz]

I'm also in Aus, so you wouldn't be the only one! A lot of the live shows will be evening UK time (which works better or worse for me in AUS at various times during the year thanks to DST changes), but there's always at least one reading sprint a month at a different time slot for international peeps. And you can still watch the recording of reading sprints or whatever after the fact if you want to experience it a bit asynchronously

[@ChemicalPenguinn]

Not the Priti Patel meme 🤧😅

[@denyse8796]

SUGGESTION! I recently saw this on Haley Pham's channel and I thought of you and this challenge! Get book suggestions from RANDOM STRANGERS 🤩

[@sageyevans]

Before I continue, after seeing you pick "Ask for Andrea".... I feel like Kirsty is about to get her feelings hurt👀

[@Alex18630]

Hi 👋🏼 I’m from Penzance 😂

[@Thehennies]

RS! Aha someone else who says that not RE 😂

[@rachelpuntel]

Maybe one of your rec vids in the series could be made up of books you didn't end up choosing in earlier videos?

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I’ve never even heard of ask for Andrea 😬

[@jenny_readss]

I think the final empire would have got more than 3*

[@rebeccamarsden2128]

💗💗

[@Ms.HGL.]

🎉

[@BA-hm6fc]

I think for one of these you should ask your parents

[@BA-hm6fc]

The timing

[@samanthaking3774]

Um you know just because some self publish or even indie author doesn't mean they don't get an editor. Some don't but personally I'm writing a book and no way would I publish without paying an editor to go over it. The seven year slip is a great book different from the usual romance

[@jsalnut]

34:39 I think because you’re a critical reader it wouldn’t have mattered which book you’d choose.

[@sofiasamou]

I'm gonna ignore your take on Piranesi.

[@jakeykayyreads]

3 stars for Piranesi girl go straight to jail…
