I would love to see a part 2 with Song of Achilles and Boy Swallows Universe 😅

[@Jen_nyyy]

Songs of Achilles.. heck yeah!

[@nataliemanuel5203]

YES, please read BSU!!

[@ciaracagle1842]

Yess the song of Achilles is my all time favorite book! Would do anything to read it for the 1st time again🥲

[@mariaheredia7996]

The song of Achilles is written so beautifully that even if you don’t really like the story, you still love the book because the writing is so good

[@ariannelopezdelrincon2808]

The Song of Achilles is one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read. I think you’d love it!!

[@BookswithKaitlyn]

Winston being the cutest thing when you were upset about the book

[@kiararose2366]

All the light we cannot see is one of the best books I’ve ever read. 8 years later and I still think about it all the time!

[@jenniferpalmer5130]

I would love this to turn into a series

[@makennastanley]

PLEASE DO PART TWO ❤️❤️❤️ I wanna see you read Babel…it’s such a great book

[@bea5687_]

Thank you for the beautiful scriptures at the beginning of each of your videos ❤️🙏

[@makennastanley]

truly one of the biggest reasons I love her vids!! they are so encouraging

[@abbiek8915]

Ironically, avoiding continuing with Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow whilst watching this😂

[@ashurova1994yana]

you are a great! reading something you're avoiding means getting out of your comfort zone! leaving your comfort zone means development!

[@niawilliams1994]

You need to read all the light we cannot see!! It’s one of my favourite books 💜📖

[@michcsm]

pioneers and npc were my absolute FAV chapters in tomorrow x3! they were both so beautifully written and so unique i loved them!!!

[@lilacbooks]

Girl, I need to take part in this challenge! Proud of you for getting through it!😊❤

[@paigeowen9128]

I really enjoyed One Day! It definitely has some slow moments where I get lost in the overly descriptive parts, but I LOVE the dialogue and banter between Emma and Dex. Was so entertaining to read!

[@pinkpup1404]

inspired me to read tomorrow x3 this year! would love to see a part 2 with song of achilles 💕

[@biancarapp1865]

omg please make this a series! you've inspired me to try and get to some books I've also been putting off

[@humannature-nm6xq]

Make this a series. ❤

[@penelopeaponte4563]

Ive never ordered a book mark so fast in my life! And it’s coming to the US so it was esssspensive for a bookmark, but every single time I watch Rachel’s book videos I’ve always admired it, so thank you so much for posting the link! It’s very unique and eye catching! ❤

[@Whatsfaithreading]

Omg yess I’ve been wanting you to film this video idea for so long I’m so excited to watch this

[@Lisalivess]

Would LOVE to see this in a series!!! I currently have One Day on my TBR annnnnd now I’m reconsidering. I thrifted it so I don’t feel too bad putting it off

[@cassandrafortin4684]

I love this concept!!! You are always so creative. 😊📖

[@gothpsyduck]

I loved watching you read tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow it made me feel exactly how it felt when I read that book.

[@sisireads]

The way you held your doggo around 7:20 made me want to cry

[@xeniko882]

thank you SO much for a new video!! Just what I needed right now 🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@ambercastleberry9879]

Love this video idea and would love if you made it a series! I read All the Light You Cannot See with my book club and really enjoyed it!

[@aileenpuga]

a part 2 would be so fun !! I definitely have so many books I've been scared to read but watching this made me feel motivated to try some

[@laurabriggs6600]

SERIES!!! this concept is amazing and inspiring!

[@JemimaRose]

i save your videos for the last thing i watch before bed because your channel is so comforting! thank you for the lovely content. 🤍🤍

[@puppies983]

It’s nice seeing a booktuber from Aus! New comfort watch☺️

[@MakennaJustesen-ux4xt]

Hi Rachel❤ I love your videos so much!! I have read so many incredible books because of you!

[@aubreyveitenheimer6328]

Would love a series of this! Great video

[@juliesimsandbooks]

This is a great video idea. Yes do again. Ive been avoiding reading certain books too. Love this!

[@crisreadsbooks]

i would love for this to be a series!! it would definitely motivate me to do the same

[@gabzgabz14]

I’d love to see a part 2 of this video! I definitely recommend Ninth House - I don’t consider myself a “smart” reader, but I was able to get a hang of it pretty quickly and it’s one of my top reads of this year 💕

[@bluebellereads]

i would love this to be a series!

[@mariannerivest]

I have been WAITING for you to pick More than words! I loved that book.

[@crawfordjennifer2015]

I absolutely love Winston ! He’s adorable!

[@libbysreadingcorner9564]

Would love a part 2, I also love this idea for a vlog. I have a bunch of books that I have been avoiding as well.. Might have to try this one day in vlog form...

[@jankagura7732]

this is such a fun video idea i would love to see more!

[@rebekahdonley1315]

Love this idea!! Now I need to go look at my TBR I’ve been avoiding 😅😅

[@mm34815]

Please read All the Light We Cannot See. The characters are so beautiful yet so lonely, and the way they are all connected in their own ways is just beautiful and even heartbreaking at times. The writing is so poetic and it's such a wonderful read. Netflix is coming out with a show next month, and maybe that will inspire you to check out the book.

[@prajjwalika]

Is it literary fiction?

[@mm34815]

@@prajjwalika It is mainly categorized as historical fiction.

[@jennywilliams5689]

I just finished All the Light You Cannot See. It is really great!

[@sarahvic458]

I'm just over half way through magnolia parks and what a roller-coaster ❤ i love it

[@mollyknowles286]

love the book content 🤍💌📚

[@celestevolkmann1295]

I definitely want to see part 2 of this!

[@lauryndelger337]

Rachel I can’t wait for you to pick up all the light we cannot see! i read that book for my highschool english class and it is one of the best books i’ve ever read! so beautiful but it’s also a good one to discuss with others so maybe it would be fun for book club!

[@elenageorgieva5017]

The way I needed a video from you 😍😍😍

[@madi_iiiiii5]

I’ve had all the light we cannot see on my bookshelf for so long. I tried to read it but i was so confused. Also would love more parts to these kinds of video

[@mansoor3159]

Rachel I truly truly truly love to read books so so so much ❤❤❤

[@madelynmahurin8357]

Great series idea! Can’t wait to see the next one! 💜

[@M1chelle4]

The family upstairs! lisa jewel is my go-to when i need to get out of a reading slump

[@lauraxx231]

I loved tmr and tmr and tmr so much too

[@monikan6397]

Yesss I loved this type of video! More parts please!!!

[@mandy7187]

August Rush was my FAVE movie growing up!!!! what! Finally found someone who knows it and loves it 😍

[@rachaelmantoszko]

Loved this, it would make such a great series! I’m trying to do this myself right now with finally starting ninth house 🥲 I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it, I’d also love to see you read the anatomy of songs and the family upstairs 🥰❤

[@inesmiranda4652]

I love this concept! Would love for you to make it a series! I am also very curious to know your thoughts on The Song of Achilles (particularly because I did not love it as much as most people did!) 💞

[@jackyl7939]

I love Winston 😭 he’s so cute!!

[@mariaailinpereyra839]

Open water is absolutly stunning! give it a try

[@Luandhervibes]

Putting The Song of Achilles off for this long is CRIMINAL bestieeee

[@klara_2437]

First time commenting here (I think), love your videos! I wanted to say how much the intro Bible verses mean to me. This video's spoke to me so much, I wasn't expecting that. And while I am very much a mood reader so I feel conflicted encouraging making oneself read books that one doesn't feel like reading, I would love a part 2. Bc I have so many books hanging around, just there, not read for years. So this video rly made me want to take one finally off the shelf (but it might take another video to actually do it 😜).

[@mistyschoephoerster347]

Loved this video! Please do a part 2

[@Kittyzero13426]

A good idea. I can think of a few books that I have been doing that with.

[@zoetaguma]

Loved this video! I also struggled to read One Day, and i didn't agree with everything the characters did but it really picked up towards the middle/ end and i wanted the chapters to go into more detail. The ending broke my heart too.

[@Tosiemary1]

When you start reading mistborn, i would loooove a reading vlog that includes a spoiler section of your thoughts. :) i absolutely love brandon sandersons writing!!

[@danielle8665]

You should definitely do a part two!!

[@kelliebarnes1433]

I was waiting for you to fall on “that one part” in Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. Soul crushing 😭😭😭

[@theinstabookworm6428]

Omg Winston coming to comfort you. 🥺 I can't.

[@kimberlyschroeder7409]

I literally teared up watching you read THAT part.

[@jaynehunter-ar]

I like this video concept! I need to do the same with my shelves.

[@micslibrary]

omg i LOVED august rush as a kid !!! made me want to pick up more than words hahaha

[@cubegirl97]

I finally picked up Babel after avoiding it because I was intimidated and it was the best decision I absolutely loved it. Tomorrow x3 is also on that list I need to pick it up.

[@kikikorner]

Yep I'm going to read Tomorrow x3, you made it sounds exciting. Part 2 with song of Achilles, I've had it on my TBR for ever too

[@BethsAL]

All the lights we can’t see is sooooo beautiful and emotional you should read it

[@Jess-dv6py]

Loved this video! Would love to see this as a series on your channel :)))

[@charleymarie]

6:38 the fact they I just want to get this book bc the cover in holographic, if I’m anything I’m a suckerrrr for pretty packaging. the amount of time I see something and don’t want or will ever use the product but the packing is so pretty i can’t 😂😂

[@penelopeaponte4563]

I would love to watch you read Project Hail Mary. It’s a sci fi but I think you’d really like it!

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Rachel happy Thursday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

[@justinn9342]

such a fun idea, bc most of these books we are putting of as well😂

[@KathyDubs]

I'd love to hear your thoughts on Babel! I avoided it for so long but then got it from the library this past summer. I inhaled it in 2 sittings! It's chunky but so fun.

[@hannahleach9665]

I haven't read the book 'one day' but I have watched the movie! the movie is a little frustrating as well, since as you mentioned it is hard to get to know the characters, but I think they show the main characters connection a bit better in the movie! I would definitely recommend watching it, if you are okay with the end being spoiled, as it is a heart wrenching ending

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Fantastic video Rachel!😸

[@JenevaGriffin]

I could not get into Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. Lol. It's so interesting to see how people feel about it when it's opposite of what I felt. But that's why I follow a variety of book people. I love hearing what you guys think.

[@Alicia-gm1ch]

I can’t believe you DNFd One Day! Of all the books I’ve read it’s one of the only ones I’ve reread more than once and it means something different to me every time I return to it. I’d love to see you go back to it at some point, the characters are so well drawn and you get to watch them grow together over a twenty year period. David Nichol’s writing is so beautifully subtle, if you love Sally Rooney I think it’s definitely worth revisiting. Either way I would encourage you not to bother with the movie, it’s not a good adaption in my opinion. If you want to try a different David Nichols I would recommend Sweet Sorrow!

[@lexieweaver8144]

I loveeee this video idea

[@mackenziezonneveld9079]

I agree with your thoughts of One Day, but I still really recommend the movie!! Anne Hathaway is just beautiful in it

[@eden_paige]

I would give a go at watching the movie for One Day first before trying the book again. I feel in love with the story and the characters through the movie

[@laurine5756]

I would love to see a part two of this! I haven't read any of these books, but I have seen the film 'One day' and I remember I liked it, but maybe it is one of those cases where the film is actually better than the book..

[@BrookCollins-fi4zz]

Video idea: reading books on tbr that have been there for a really long time.

[@lilianamarques2375]

u could do this video, but dark academia themed, since u have babel and ninth house on ur tbr!

[@gabbyserg2194]

Please take us along to your book club! That would be so much fun 🫶

[@Minauses]

When you were describing the plot of tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow I kept thinking about one day and it’s so crazy to me that that was the next book you picked from your tbr! 😩I wish you read it to see if it is similar to tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow. But you swooned about it so much that I am now going to read it and see for myself. 😀 Still highly recommend one day. 🤞🏼

[@teresaholl3620]

Tomorrow tomorrow & tomorrow changed me 🥹🥹✨✨✨✨

[@nachastuven4181]

part 2!!!!!!! 🤩

[@brookedannar242]

I’ve seen several reviews on Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow and none have convinced me to read it until now!

[@rochelle1199]

I see Five Survive in your cart and definitely recommend it!!

[@rochelle1199]

My hatred for Oliver is no joke. I felt physical rage whenever he spoke

[@its.mar-li]

loved this video!! please do a part 2 with song of achiles and the ninth house 🥹🥹👉👈

[@monicac2351]

One Day the movie is soo beautiful!

[@AshleyJade18]

'More Than Words' has been on my TBR for years too... along with 'Before We Were Strangers' ... They are on the very top of my TBR in my Notes app. I need to get to them!!! ... Also since you mentioned DNF's, i've only ever DNF'd one book in my short 2 year reading era and that was 'In A Jam', i made it to the 120 page mark and then said nope.🤷‍♀

[@shelleylawrence8397]

I love that shimmery copy of Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow! I don’t think we have it in the US.

[@karmaaismybf]

i read tmr and tmr and tmr in may i think and i read like seven books after and didn’t get another five star (until magnolia parks🤭) but tmr and tmr and tmr is one of my all time favorite books the reading experience was unmatched i was really going thru it😭😭
