a study in drowning is actually marketed as young adult but probably got put in a lot of adult lists because ava reids other books are adult

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I freaking love the mindf*ck series 😭

[@angelaholmes8888]

Me too I read it last year ❤

[@sarahhansen8004]

Your dedication blows my mind. I can’t imagine reading a 5 book series that I ended up rating less than a 4 😂 I can’t even read 100 pages of a book I don’t love, dnf’ing like a wild woman lately. But I guess you said it was a page turner!

[@ChanelChapters]

A study in drowning feels as damp as the house they stay in

[@ArteoftheMist]

Wendell gave me Howl vibes, I'm excited to read the sequal

[@andtheywerereaders]

I’m not normally into dark romance, but this Howl comment might get me to read the first book in this series 😂

[@ArteoftheMist]

@@andtheywerereaders not sure if there's another Howl but I was referring to Howl from Howl's Moving Castle lol

[@jennawar13]

@@andtheywerereadersWendell is from Emily Wilde not the dark romance series! lol 😂

[@rosej5424]

I didn’t expect to like the mindf*ck series as much as I did, I read it 2 years ago but I’ve been seeing a lot of booktubers talk about it recently and it’s making me want to re-read it

[@MeMyshelfAndI]

um... ASID was literally marketed as Ava Reid's first YA book. It's not meant to be Adult or marketed as such 👀

[@savannahholtkamp7991]

I’m so relieved to have finally found someone that feels the same way I do about A Study In Drowning. I’m glad people liked it, but I couldn’t listen to one more person sing its praise.

[@sarahhorne2802]

I have read all of these apart from mindfu*k series and totally agree with everything you said about the final 3! Sometimes it feels like I’m reading a different book to the masses!!

taking notes taking notes

[@LavenderLydia]

The Butterfly Garden is one of my favorite books. I read it when I was first getting into darker psychological thrillers and it blew my mind. Skip the other books, though.

[@aubreyrusso8819]

Me and Elias having the same first book of 2024 heheheh

[@faizareads]

Also, I really like this chill, conversation style of video. Really loved this one!

[@abyjo]

I enjoyed Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries and just finished Map of the Otherworlds. As a sequel, It was better. More extensive cast and more fae. A Study in Drowning, I agree, could be better, but as a YA not bad. The world itself felt like the reader had to fill in the untold. (I would like to hear your opinion on A Far Wilder Magic, also YA)

[@Yoma0308]

I really love this type of videos. I can listen to you all day, your voice is so relaxing.

[@ReadingNymph]

😅😅 I agree Study in Drowning was frustrating, the MC i didn't like, I wanted more from the farie elements as well

[@faizareads]

I also gave in to the Mindf*ck series because of Facebook and I ended up giving it a 3.75 too 😂 it was also my first read of January 😂😂

[@Lillyjoy]

I felt the same way as you with Emily Wilde! It just ended so fast and I wanted the ending to be longer. I was not satisfied with the ending but also want to read book 2.

[@jennawar13]

Oop Emily Wilde was my fave of last year 😅 maybe you just had to be part of the book club 😝

[@FiremanSinead1]

Why did I think you were holding a candle 😂

[@RyutaroFan]

I felt your review and rating so much for a study in drowning !!!🤣

[@rayewb6507]

What a coincidence…. 😂 I just started rereading the mindf*ck series last night. I can’t be bothered with the quotes so I skip them.

[@Cakelynn6]

I also really enjoyed the Mindf*ck series and was not at all expecting that. I agree on the covers though, they are not just bad but also don’t make sense?!

[@Cakelynn6]

Also happy birthday!

[@halloween42]

Ohmygod fucking Effy drove me INSAAANE 😂

[@queenkim8631]

I'm early yaaaayyyy😁 I love seeing the manga behind you 😍 I read The Butterfly Garden & really enjoyed it😁.....Heavy on the suspend your disbelief😩

[@chocolateoreo6489]

I’m sending you love❤❤❤

[@michaelbooklion7824]

EIGHT?! Oh you ATE!

[@a.b.2405]

I am screaming! 😂😭🤣💀

[@LifeIsDaijoubuLilySoo]

omg finally one of the booktubers I follow read the Mindfucked series and liked it! ❤ I often wonder what you (and withcindy) would think about it!

[@angelaholmes8888]

I actually found some booktubers who enjoyed this book that's why I decided to give it a try I absolutely enjoyed it

[@Nancy-ff5tr]

Lmao bruh as soon as I started watching I saw your earrings and was like omg i nEED them😭😭 Was legit gonna comment and ask but thankfully you told us instead hahahha Edit: I can't afford it shkskajskfjdshh

[@Raetheforce]

Thank you, I did not care for A Study in Drowning mainly because Effy was the worst.

[@alejandrahernandez709]

I love your videos 🫰

[@bmoforever5562]

ASID was awful, people have been LYING about this book😂 The descriptions of the house were good, but the layout didn't make any sense. The whole thing was drowning in plotholes.
