The song of achilles isn't as intimidating as it may seem, it's honestly just normal fantasy with romance, war and things... and there are gods and other mythical creatures but they are like normal characters and everything is explained really well! Just read it, I think you'll love it!

[@eermmmm]

“Is Achilles a person?” 😂😂🤣🤣

[@Jk83832]

Song of Achilles is really just a love story with some fantasy elements, not intimidating! I think you’ll love it!

[@MissGUTSYY]

Your comment made me wanna read that book lol

[@abigailmawade]

that is such a gorg line up!!! you should try doing a reading vlog of trying to complete your tbr by reading a few books from it?? and maybe include the song of achilles in it???🫠🫠

[@booksandteas]

i think everyone can calm down now that rachel finally put the song of achilles on her tbr. love the new shelves bestie!

[@ravenluvs2read]

Paper Princess is labeled YA but it’s more new adult in my opinion. I read it a long time ago and I loved it, but it does have a good amount of smutty scenes in it

[@lucy203]

omggg song of achilles 😭 finally!!! i've been waiting sooo long for this

[@eleanorhenderson9896]

“Meet me at midnight” such a Taylor-coded assumption ahha. I do that all of the time, mistaking things for Taylor lyrics xx

[@bariwalters206]

no it’s a REALLY taylor coded book i read it and it has so many niche references it’s so cute

[@nidhivaidya6485]

The song of achilles isn't intimidating Rach, I promise!! It's very beautiful descriptive writing and a lovely story.

[@mom2grls694]

The song of Achilles is a great read. It made me cry. Very emotional read.

[@airisu6307]

Your whole realization about Where the Dark Stands had me laughing 😂😂😂

[@brookestephens3942]

The Song of Achilles is one of the most beautiful books!

[@screwgravity100]

Omgggg yaaaay, you're planning to read a book from polish author!! 🥹 I feel so proud of her!! "Where the Dark Stands Still" is based on polish folklore, so it's super unique! Hope you enjoy it 🥹

[@evelientx]

5:08 omg this kinda sounds like the plot of addie larue and that’s literally my fav book of all time. im gonna order this immediately !!!!

[@kasandrafrias3083]

i love how most of your april tbr is full of covers with some type of nature in them 😍😍🥹

[@ashleycristinex3]

Rachel, you should do a video on “books I’ve been avoiding” again! 🫶🏼

[@fathimatahera4344]

I was intimated with The song of Achilles in the beginning aswell, because I had no idea about Greek mythology and didn't know what to expect but my friends have read it and they loved it so I picked it up and it's honestly such a beautiful book, with so many poetic quotes and heart wrenching yet such a pure romance, I'm sure you'll love it aswell

[@erinslibraryxo732]

I’m so surprised you don’t like Greek Mythology it’s so so much fun there’s flawed characters, they are mystical creatures and people, there’s magic. If you don’t know much of Greek Mythology I reckon you should try Circe it’s a great introduction to Greek Mythology Retellings. This is by someone who has studied classics x

[@faeandtabithaproductions5078]

Totally recommend the audiobook of "Where the dark Stands Still", so good.

[@KarlyJo]

i look forward the these videos every month!! 🎀

[@mackenziezonneveld9079]

Girl you are going to love Song of Achilles and will regret putting it off for so long! It’s along the same vein as Addie LaRue, and Tomorrow X3

[@corrienewman6593]

Another great book about flowers is The Language of Flowers. It’s an older book but one of my favorites and one I think of often! Love your videos!!!! ❤

[@abbypamfile7820]

ahh love the new shelves and the video. it’s so aesthetic 🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@pharmasix22]

14:41 i laugh so hard she has no choice 😂

[@MoJordanReads]

OMG how have I never heard of Where the Dark Stands Still?! So glad you picked that - adding to my TBR! Also I would say One Dark Window is not quite romantasy, more so fantasy romance if you want to split hairs haha. Also also, I have to say that I do think TSOA is probably a bit overhyped, tbh BUT it also is good. I really do think it's something you'd enjoy.

[@AlexaPittman-mr5yw]

I absolutely loved iron king But the copy I read wasn’t that large…….. and I didn’t realize it was that long, because I flew through it in a day earlier this month

[@kyra8138]

I’m pretty sure Paper Princess is an Adult Smutty Romance so enjoy that ride! I personally haven’t read it.

[@AliviaReads]

It was so fun getting to see this video filmed in the new library room!

[@PowerOfBooks1902]

I absolutely love the song of Achilles

[@becca6859]

I’m so excited for you for April especially for Song of Achilles! I think you’ll really like it

[@leahclose]

this has come up as i was about to pick my april tbr so im gonna use the same prompts as you!!!💕💕

[@julirussell]

Oh my gosh I love the Iron King! I can’t wait to see you read it and see what you think! The characters are amazing!

[@kennington9734]

her videos are so fun to watch. keep up the great work. ❤❤❤

[@macaroni6948]

love your videos!!! your library is looking absolutely stunning ✨

[@MariamRizvi]

Eeeeek the new background, the set up, everything!! Looks so perfect 😍😍

[@frshdumbledore2825]

Picking out your tbr videos are just so calming and I absolutely LOVE your shelves❤

[@misssnek2213]

I LOVED both Where the Dark Stands Still and Flowerheart. Some of my favorite books of all time.

[@bookswithgracie]

I love your TBR jar videos!! They’re so cute and literally so you 🥹🥹

[@thisisarandomurl2000]

This video came at the perfect time. Recently I’ve been is such a big reading slump and your energy in this video just sparked back my love and excitement for reading :)

[@thesandrapages]

The Hotel Nantucket definitely counts as a name 😄 & I say that bc I’m reading it right now and really enjoying it much to my own surprise

[@Emmy_Jacobson]

paper princess is sooo bad 😂😂 can’t wait to hear your thoughts

[@Harley24986]

I’m halfway through Flowerheart right now and so far really like it!

[@mistyschoephoerster347]

I literally love the video cuts when you stack the books in the shelf. It’s my fav part of the video haha and the selections of course!

[@kaya.graceee]

So excited for you to read One Dark Window! I really think you’ll love it 💕

[@wiwitulips]

For me, you are the Queen of TBR videos 👑💗

[@Mermaid_S]

Loved this line up and interested in several of those books myself 📚🫶💕

[@mansoor3159]

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

[@MsHeartbeauty]

Such a good day when there is a new book upload. ❤

[@isabellaborto]

[@chloearmenta]

[@_inmyhead]

[@user-wc6bl4zs4i]

One dark window is amazing

[@Jordan_elaine]

I loved paper princess when I read it years ago & I’ve been eager to re-read since I don’t remember anything but that I liked it 😂

[@emmaskapetis7603]

I'm so excited to see you read The iron king. I really want to see your thoughts on it.

[@nurannisafitri9443]

Hii rachel! I love watching your videos so muchhhh😻💓💓

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Great video Rachel!

[@Vivsbooks]

Hi Rachel, I admire you so much! I recently started my own booktube channel and I just posted my own tbr jar chooses my reads video and oh my goodness they are so much fun! They're one of my favorites to watch, I get so excited when you post them and I kinda can't believe I did it (might seem strange to others but I was always scared to start a book channel) but you're amazing and so inspiring to me and I just wanted to tell you. Love you 💜

[@char2147]

one dark window ❤ cant wait for your thought on this

[@luvmiyax]

I love watching your vids!

[@marydavis2312]

this was a great tbr jar vid and a great line up for April!!! you should do a long reading vlog w ALL of these! TBR challenge ;)

[@bookswithsoph1]

flowerheart!! yay!! it’s a young adult 🌷💘

[@thekellykathleen]

Eek we share a birthday month! I’m so excited to go birthday book shopping 🥰

[@bookthoughtswitheilish]

I'm also planning on reading One Dark Window in April, can't wait to hear your thoughts!

[@megan_alyssa]

I'm excited to see what you think about Maybe Meant To Be because I've been on the fence about that book too even though I really liked The Summer of Broken Rules.

[@Kittyzero13426]

I enjoyed Flowerheart sooo much.

[@katelynooley9671]

Funny Feelings is my favorite!!

[@bookwormswiftie1989]

yayy we are birthday month twins ☺☺so weird to see u in a new setup but it looks amazing!! also love your curls 😍😍ur tbrs are so fun

[@hollyaussiebookbabe4509]

Erin Watt the author of Paper Princess is just a pen-name too! It’s Elle Kennedy and Jen Frederick together 🥰 I read it a few years ago and loved it. Now I want to reread it ❤

[@bariwalters206]

maybe meant to be is actually her debut novel, it just got traditionally published the most recently bc her two recent books got published so they went back for her other books

[@ellenmartin6326]

I’m reading the song of Achilles now. I though it would be very difficult to read but it’s very interesting and easy to read! And funny feelings is one of my favorite romances❤

[@victoriamachado4533]

April is my birthday month too bestie!!

[@daniela14_]

Omg you are glowing

[@lucyperry3627]

the new shelves are looking amazinggg!!

[@sharonlovesbooks]

An interesting mix of books there.

[@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk]

Good luck with what you choose to read. I hope you get some great stories. I'm currently reading the Count of Monte Cristo. I might be some time!

[@berna_bookish]

Please read Ember in the Ashes!! It's soo good! The perfect combination of high stakes fantasy, trials, worldbuilding, found family & some romance! Katie is Reading also likes this book 😊😊

[@taylorclegg]

you should film reading vlogs reading your monthly tbr!

[@chocolateoreo6489]

I’m sending you love❤❤❤

[@whatslilareading]

my favorite notification 💞💞

[@MR-tq8dq]

i absolutely loved the song of achilles and i didn't even like greek mythology before i read it!

[@caitlinjolly3332]

I was not expecting to like song of Achilles but almost two years later I still think about it almost every day

[@Bear_the_shepherd]

I adore The Song Of Achilles, its one of my favourite books. I hope you read it and I hope you love it. Lots of love and God bless x

[@noelle5268]

YASSSS IRON KING❤❤❤❤

[@katehenry9497]

Can’t wait for you to read Skyward!! (Hopefully next month you’ll pick it 😉)

[@alexisn.k.789]

If you’re looking for a romance pallet cleanser don’t pick up Boys of Tommen. Love that series with my whole heart but it’s heavy!! 🫶🩷

[@shelleylawrence8397]

Love your new bookshelves and set-up! Are the books shown on your TBR cart the only books you have unread? Great TBR!

[@heavenbitz]

Paper princess is a writing duo with Elle Kennedy as one of the authors

[@teresa1433]

I do recommend the Babel audio book if that is less intimidating to tackle

[@Malaaak222]

OMGGG. She is gonna read the song of Achillies YAYYYYYYY

[@stephaniecason]

I DNF'd Song of Achilles as an audiobook but I want to try reading it physically and see if I like it better that way.

[@mollymitchell5371]

If you’d like another book that talks about flowers, try The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart. It’s Australian, not fantasy or anything but still really lovely. It’s like a secret flower language 🌸

[@stasias_lifee]

YOU HAVE TO READ TSOA!!!!!! IT‘S SOOOO GOOD❤ Greek m. Is really interesting and the book won‘t be hard to read even if you don‘t know much about it⚔️

[@kirstyjones5353]

April is my birthday month too 😊

[@HaileyAnnReads]

I read Paper Princess a couple years ago and ate it up like candy. Absolutely not a YA book tho, more NA. Its so messy lmao I can't wait to see your thoughts on it

[@Star_drifter]

Highly recommend listening to song of Achilles ❤

[@midnightsun40]

These videos are so fun. I’ve watched for about a year and thought that this month I’d pick out a TBR for myself at the same time. I ended up with: 1. i want to dies but i want to eat tteokbokki by baek sehee for the cartoon cover prompt 2. The Girl and the Stars by Mark Lawrence for the random number generator prompt 3. Gods & Monsters by Shelby Mahurin for the book I regret buying 4. 12 Steps to a Long and Fulfilling Death by Sarah Smith for person on the cover 5. Endure by Carrie Jones for the one word title 6. Daisy Haites: the great undoing for the name in the title prompt 7. The Prisoner’s Throne by Holly Black as the white cover book 8. The Iron King since I also own a copy It was so much fun. Not sure how successful I will be at reading 8 books (especially since some are a series) but I’m a teacher at the start of school holidays so who knows 😅

[@mikaylamueller939]

The way I was yelling at my phone for you to choose song of Achilles and my family was so confused

[@dilyndelval7935]

7:03 you could do a last chance video of a couple authors for “maybe meant to be”
