Two videos within five days?! I'm so here for it😆 Thank you so much for treating us like this, Lexi 🥰

[@HouseOfPagesAndPaints]

I think you’ll love Remarkably Bright Creatures. I almost NEVER read contemporary but this one was so good. ☀️☀️☀️

[@alexandraroselyn]

That's what I've heard and I don't usually either! I'm excited to try it out! 😊

[@KeaLynn]

It’s INCREDIBLE!❤

[@ucheaus]

That book was so good!

[@joyceredman2136]

@@alexandraroselyn I would also vote for this book as its so original, unique and different.

[@bethylbug7541]

I agree, it was so good.

[@lilliewyant4086]

Oh Lexi, what a joy to see you again so soon. I love your channel. You are such a joy. I am 71 and unable to get out. I can only get to the doctor. I love shopping with you. Thank you for sharing. You are a dear! God bless you.

[@JulEnglefaris]

I loved The Wishing Game with my whole heart. Its not fantasy tho, just contemporary with some child-like imagination type magic

[@DebraGail]

My summer TBR: Bad Summer people, A Botanical Daughter, Foxglove, You Like It Darker, Paradise Problem, and The World Divided By Piper.

[@BambuProductions]

I really enjoyed Bad summer people! It's a fast read.

[@hannahanderson8069]

You have a way of describing books that makes me want to read everything. Dangerous for my bank account

[@anniea90]

Stumbled upon your video today and I could not be happier! Finally some books I have not seen recommended 100 times. I know you have some more popular books in the video too, but I love a rec that I have not heard much about and weird girl recs too!

[@sarahelizabeth5381]

I’m so happy you’ll be reading the Pisces.. it’s the definition of weird and I love it!!! Death Valley is very different.

[@alexandraroselyn]

oh yay I'm glad to hear that! The premise sounded so cool! :)

[@Gillian.Ashcroft.66]

Can't Spell Treason Without Tea, Foul Days,Service Model,Daughter of Calamity,Grave Yard Shift,Immortal Dark,Spitting Gold,The Moonlight Market......the list is endless - sigh.

[@anautisticreader2963]

I am looking forward to getting to Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne. ☀️🌞

[@MelpoReads]

Carley Fortune’s new book “This Summer Will Be Different” was up there with Just for the Summer and Funny Story. Such a come back!

[@jenniferfink1728]

Very nice recommendations! I’m reading two books this summer that have a great summer vibe. They are: Watership Down by Richard Adam’s and The Light Eaters by Zoe Schlanger. They are both great so far! ☀️

[@melindadye4918]

For weird books, you can’t get much weirder than The Pisces. I read it almost two years ago and I am still smh at that one.

[@alexandraroselyn]

I'm so nervous going into it lol lol Death Valley was.. a lot lol.

[@udishaverma7862]

So, this summer, im somehow reading all the books that have something to do with the sea, and more, here is my ever-growing summer tbr, ive already read some of them: - Tress of the emerald sea. - The Wicked Deep. - The girl who fell beneath the sea. - Song of the six realms. - Bookshop and Bonedust. - Ocean at the end of the lane. - The true poets of the sea. - Some kind of happiness. - Remarkably bright creatures. And more. And now imma add The Pisces and The seas to the list! Thankyou 😂 ☀️

[@nknutson780]

I loved The husbands ❤ and big little lives ❤❤❤

[@kaitieskates]

Please read Remarkably Bright Creatures ASAP!!! It's so good, it absolutely devastated me. I definitely cried. Reminded me a lot of my grandma that I miss dearly. All about finding connection in unexpected places.

[@courtneyjadeb]

11/22/63 is so good!

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Just read Funny Story and absolutely loved it!! Also really enjoyed Spells for Forgetting and Remarkably Bright Creatures 😊 Some books on my summer TBR are Seven Days in June, The Tainted Cup, Shady Hollow, The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi, Only If You’re Lucky, Piranesi, The Final Revival of Opal and Nev, and then we’ll just see from there haha!

[@bentersbookshelf]

Remarkably Bright Creatures is FANTASTIC!❤

[@alexandraroselyn]

ME TOO!!!! It has literally all of my favorite things in one book so let's hope we all love it for the summer! 😊♥

[@burgaofficial]

And the award for the cutest phone case collection goes to...😌🏆

[@alexandraroselyn]

😊❤❤❤

[@WonderKitty24]

Big Little Lies was such a fun read. I loved that one. And really everything by Liane.

[@strawberrylime33]

" A group of toxic besties being toxic besties." Isn't that just Pretty Little Liars? 😂 ☀️☀️🌞

[@lauraa1345]

Funny Story and Book Lovers are both on my summer tbr! I've only read Happy Place by Emily Henry and I really liked it a lot, so I'm very excited to dive into her other books ☺️

[@hayle5920]

I would love to see you do a reading blog on Remarkable Bright Creatures. When I was recommended it I thought there was no way I'd like it, but it ended up being 5 stars for me! Happy reading!

[@alexandraroselyn]

Oooo I can do that!! 😊

[@ReadingNymph]

☀️Im all here for the weird literature! I just received Chlorine, The Seas sounds great and Brutes I've had on my radar for ages. Great selection

[@LalAxCrazyMe]

I enjoyed Thornhedge. The vibes are more of a summer evening by a fire kind of read, rather than under the sun by the water. I hope you get around to reading it!

[@necholejacobs6195]

Reckless and Hopeless by Elsie Silver. Almost done with Reckless might pick up a fantasy before I pick up Hopeless

[@goldeemabulay9052]

Must. Resist. I'm on a book ban 😂

[@alexandraroselyn]

STAY STRONG BESTIE!! 🥹

[@dawnandalankirke7045]

Loved Emily Henry’s new book. Great steam but really good character development and story. ❤

[@kimberlymiller3370]

So, you should start with remarkably bright creatures. Amazing book. May need tissues ❤

[@minimalqueen7523]

I am looking forward to The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley

[@Theaterg15]

For Sci Fi with a weirder scary thriller: Three Body Problems Trilogy! I finished book one and omg Incredible but so frightening!!!!! Finished it in three days!! Now on Book 2 and it’s already wow more than first book

[@jaquefurt]

You are going to kill us with all those good book recs. Lexi, I CAN’T, OKAY? You make me wanna buy everything 😂😂 I love your channel, senhorita. 🩷☀️

[@spookylittlebooknerd]

Curious what you think of The Pisces. I’m not gonna tell you what I thought until you read it.

[@maureendeming]

Marcelus the octopus is hands down the best part of Remarkably Bright Creatures! My goal this summer is to finally read Demon Copperhead

[@thecampinglibrarian]

☀️ Great summer TBR list. I can’t wait for you to read Remarkably Bright Creatures! ☀️

[@alexandracraveiro2091]

I loved The Pisces! I think you’ll really enjoy it ♓️

[@angelekay3843]

This summer i wanna read Dune, Tress of the Emerald Sea, Dragonfruit, and a variety of summer/beach/water/pirate themed books!

[@juliep5463]

You will LOOOOOOOOOVE 11/22/63. I absolutely loved it and I really don’t enjoy SiFi or Stephen King. But this book was soooooo good, I couldn’t put it down.

[@judithcakelover]

I'm also soo curious about Remarkable Bright Creatures! Hope it's really good.🧡🦊☀️

[@Anna-dp8ee]

My Summer tbr so far is: „Saltblood“ by Francesca De Tores, „A Gallery of Rogues“ by Beth Lincoln, „Summer’s End“ by Juneau Black, „The Bewitching of Aveline Jones“ by Phil Hickes, „Brambly Hedge: Summer Story“ by Jill Barklem and „You Like It Darker“ by Stephen King 🥰 but I‘m a mood reader so who knows what will be added or removed 😅

[@goodmornindreamer]

I just read The Unmaking of June Farrow this month and absolutely loved it. I really want to read Spells For Forgetting and just love the way the author writes 🥰 I have The Honey Witch on my list to read for the month of June and am very excited.

[@stefanienordstrom6750]

I also have Remarkably Bright Creatures on my summer TBR! I was hoping for Ministry of Time, but I am "several months out" on the Libby audio. My summer TBR is also long with This Summer Will be Different, James, and Mansfield Park at top priority! ☀🦊

[@cmdavis1976]

Romance recommendation: A Love Catastrophe by Helena Hunting. I don't know if you have read it, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The two main characters are adorably awkward, and I just fell in love with them both.

[@alwaysyourtrueself1713]

I'm actually reading P.S. I Love You for the first time. I got The Husbands recently. I'm also working on When The Crow's Away(more fall season). So not all of them are from this year but that's what I'm currently reading. I also got The Waters a few months ago which I have to pick up again.

[@jagarimukherjee5602]

I am reading Wild Beauty, which you had recommended on your channel once, a couple of years ago!❤ Also, Exes And Os by Amy Lea, and Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson...you are my favorite Booktuber😊

[@banannakis6723]

I LOVED Thornbridge, I read it in one sitting and it introduced me to T Kingfisher and made me want to read her work. I need to read The Body too, I love the movie and I do enjoy King's work.

[@rebekahaak5241]

Right now I am reading "This Summer will be Different" by Carley Fortune, her new Summer Romance this year. If you a an Anne of Green Gables fan like myself you will love it!

[@procaffeinate_withbooks]

Those are a lot of books 😅 I read Remarkably bright Creatures and must say the story is so homely and cozy that I recommend to everyone, for additional books, you may also want to try The Housemaid is Watching by Frieda Mcfadden, Everytime I go on vacation someone dies

[@meaganfontana6549]

Remarkably Bright Creatures was sooooo good in such a surprising way! I highly recommend listening to the audiobook if you can. The narrators are fantastic!

[@vintagelace7076]

Ok so I have bought my 5 Summerween books..Hollowed by Jessica Taylor which is a Sleepy Hollow twist novel. Shade by Merrier Destefano which is a story about Frankenstein and other classic monsters that come to life after dark at a villa through stories the guest at the party tell. Psycho by Robert Bloch which is a retelling of the movie but little different. Salt and Broom by Sharon Lynn Fisher which is a twist on Jane Eyre and Murder in the Villa by Susan Kieran Lewis. A few of these are only 100 pages which is very manageable. I hope I enjoy them all!

[@richa_xo446]

Hi Lexi, first of all thank you for being consistent 😊, secondly I love your video aesthetics❤, Do you edit yourself? If yes what software do you use? I'm a new designer and want to explore few options, hope you reply. God bless you ❤️

[@mckennaraulston6173]

Have you read Let's Get Lost by Adi Alsaid! Def reccomend

[@arlene2211]

How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying is on my summer TBR as well! Let's hope it lives up to that amazing title! I am also excited for Foul Days and the new Ashley Poston, A Novel Love Story, is giving me Once Upon a Time mixed with a hallmark movie vibes, but they don't come out til the end of the month

[@Kayla-rj9lr]

The Wishing Game is my fave book so far of 2024! 🥰it is not fantasy tho, it's like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory but with a children's author hosting the contest

[@FaeryLaume]

I really enjoyed Spells for Forgetting but it's a better match for "end of summer" reading as it takes place during "apple harvest season". I read Malice House last year for Summerween and I really enjoyed it - it delivered on the spooky. I adored Remarkably Bright Creatures. My summer reading list is mostly focused on "reading books I own" but I highly suspect I'll end up grabbing a bunch of new releases from my library as well. I do have a stack of books picked out for the Summerween prompts.

[@kantui525]

If you like time travel, you could read Just One Damn Thing After Another which is a very funny series following a university department that time travels to study historical events.

[@sariaacuna]

Hello, Thank you Lexi for your content. I am intrigued by the, "weird books" and weird girl literary fiction you mentioned, ha ha! Did you do a vlog or review on books from that genre?

[@joyceredman2136]

I am going to reading Maisie Dobbs (1st book in a series) by Jacqueline Winspear. She advertises herself as a psychologist and investigator in 1929 England. And I have several of the books who follow this one that I got at a library sale. I really like Maisie Dobbs and I can see why this is an international best seller and I swore that I would never read a series again! Highly recommend this author. Tom Lake by Anne Patchett is another choice.

[@soniaesquivel9385]

I really liked Malice House… a lot actually. I still think about it and I read it last year. 11/22/63 I honestly loved it… also if you have Hulu, watch the show! It was so good ☀️ ☀️

[@KeaLynn]

Lexi you have to read the Chestnut Springs romance series. As someone who has never liked cowboys etc I was not expecting to have my heart literally stolen away by the series!

[@alexandraroselyn]

oooo really??? Okay I'll write that down thank you!

[@KeaLynn]

@@alexandraroselyn you and I almost always have the same takes on books so I hope you love them! Heartless and Reckless were my fav but they’re all so good

[@bentersbookshelf]

Also for weird books, pick up Now is Not the Time to Panic by Kevin Wilson.

[@mckennaraulston6173]

Bad summer people is on my summer list and Back in the Burbs, and Pretty Dudes

[@c.m.8972]

This list sounds so good, I added most of those books to my TBR as well 😊 I already read the Stephen King book and gave it 4 stars. My TBR contains around 200 books at the moment 😅🙈

[@rubeuspotter719]

Idk if you have read the Once Upon a Broken Heart series, but if you did and enjoyed it, you should the try Heart of Thorns series. Stephanie Garber(the same author who wrote once upon a broken heart and caraval) has blurbed the first two books(the only two I’ve read so far) which is hilarious cause I’m recommending it based off interest on Once Upon a broken heart. I’m getting the same vibes of once upon a broken heart with Heart of thorns. The story lines aren’t the same, except for the fact that the main female character has a power she hadn’t known about. But yeah there’s my little ramble

[@Soulpiece]

I’m reading book one in the zodiac academy by Susanne valenti and Caroline Peckham and it’s so fun so far, I wanna read the whole series this summer ❤

[@PerkHopper]

Just fyi, Just For the Summer isn't all that funny. It's a great book, don't get me wrong, but it is pretty serious and deals with some very serious issues.

[@vintagelace7076]

So I decided my "summer" novel is going to be Jaws. It's such a summer iconic movie that I love so I decided to read Jaws for summer because it's got boats, summertime, beaches , ocean so I'm excited!

[@BrittanyBWrites]

I'm going to try and read Elin Hildebrand's The Hotel Nantucket to see if it's really good or not, mostly because for some reason I want to read it, alongside Sabaa Tahir's The Ember in the Ashes series. ☀

[@Vanquished24]

I read Spoonbender a while ago. The premise is so interesting. I was hoping for more out of it, curious to see your take. Vicious by Schwab is a better magic abilities book imo, but definitely different vibes

[@kmenendez2911]

The Hidden by Melanie Goulding is a good book and is a great fit for the “weird/strange” category.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I want to read Honey Witch SO BAD

[@teadesi]

☀I really enjoyed Just for the Summer and I also have a Riley Sager on my summer TBR.

[@Allison-gf8cx]

😎I am excited to read Margo's got Money Troubles.

[@ShanaSephora]

One thing that stops me subscribing to booktubers is that they don’t give full trigger warning, do you think you could mention if the book has profanity, and how the consistency or inconsistency of it in the book?

[@noellevogel2469]

The Body is my favorite King book! I read it earlier this year, after watching the movie I decided I wasn’t ready to leave the characters yet. So good!!

[@brokenredflag]

Stil wating for one of the booktubers im subscribed to to reed the bible and tell us what they think about it. New testement preferable.😮

[@CoffeeeriLP]

Summerween?! Oh hell yeah! Heard this term the very first time and I am all here for it! 🤩

[@adrianadeescobar1228]

I have a strong feeling you'll enjoy Remarkably Bright Creatures. I was very unsure but loved it so much.

[@AmataRayne2492]

☀️ As I said on Instagram, I am doing a Summer of Samurai in July. (I'm also trying to read down my series stacks too). So, I'm reading a bunch of books that have to do with Asian-inspired literature. So... FANTASY 1. Art of Prophecy 2. Art of Destiny 3. Five Broken Blades 4. Magic Steeped in Poison 5. A Venom Dark and Sweet FICTION 1. Shogun Pt. 1 2. Shogun Pt. 2 3. Musashi I might also be finishing up Priory of the Orange Tree in July (reading it for Pride month next month!). If I have ANY TIME LEFT IN JULY... maybe... I will read part of The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu, which is supposedly the first novel ever written and formally published. I have always wanted to read it. Whatever I don't read will go for next year's summer, unless I am in the middle of a series... then, I'll probably finish in August. June is whatever Pride books I can find, including Priory, Evelyn Hugo, etc. The two exceptions is reading Book 6 of KA Applegate's Everworld series, and reading Michael Crichton/James Patterson's newest book Eruption. July is my Fun in the Sun reads- My Magnolia Summer, Vacationland, Daughter of the Pirate King series, Gilded and Cursed (by Marissa Meyer).

[@alexandraroselyn]

omg I love this list!!! Thank you so much for sharing all of these titles!! ❤❤❤

[@rubeuspotter719]

If you’re looking for Asian books, try six crimson cranes

[@AmataRayne2492]

@rubeuspotter719 that and its sequel are on my TBR for another month! I just... can't remember which one 😅

[@lilarceo2251]

11/22/63 IS AMAZING! You will love it

[@JaJaJantsen]

omg yessss can't wait until you read Brutes

[@Lavishlybookish]

Yes! I want to read all the weird books all summer! ❤

[@vintagelace7076]

Are you participating in summer ween?

[@shelliesallas-leveratt169]

11/22/63 is on my Top 5 of ALL TIME!!!

I love spells for forgetting!

[@ymasun3647]

The Newcomer by Mary k Andrews

[@mlleChesca]

Omgggg big little lies is such a fast read for meee 💃🏻

[@Mari_0706]

Tin Man is one of the books I’d want to reread sometime soon!

[@danat3961]

Uhoh we already know how the honey witch went 😅

[@danat3961]

I have been binging a lot of your older videos… mostly autumn and spooky season ones.. they are my favorite lol and I’m lonesome for fall… I wish I could just zoom through summer

[@opheliawinfrey9501]

[@Jugy93]

I like your books and your so so cool to

[@daijahsbookworld]

chlorine is so good for this time of year but yes it’s definitely horror lol

[@alexandraroselyn]

Omg Daijah I didn’t know it was horror!! Thank you for saying that now I’ll go in prepared haha!

[@MelpoReads]

For the BURGA phone cases if anyone was interested, I have one and recommend if you want to support her. They have SO many cute options and has protected my iphone from a handful of harsh falls.

[@alexandraroselyn]

aw thanks for saying that Mel :)
