✨ about my channel
I will be sharing the ups and downs of life and how to attempt to get through it in one piece. I’ll be sharing realistic life advice, minimalism tips, routines, vlogs, and anything else I think you would benefit from! Life is messy and unpredictable, and learning how to manage these hurdles is the first step to leading a happier and more intentional life. We're all trying our best out here, and I just want to share what is and isn't working for me.
Sending you all my love,
Grace

3 books is plenty for one vlog! When ppl be having a list of 10 it gets overwhelming. Have you ready Funny Story by Emily Henry yet? I loved it.

[@gracenevitt]

I haven't yet but it's one of my holds at the library!!

[@abbieleighdoesmakeup8140]

Project Hail Mary was so good! I don’t read sci-fi but I felt like the more time passed after reading this book, I felt like I liked it even more. I can’t wait for the movie!

[@gracenevitt]

same!!

[@elisabethprice4697]

My reading tastes are prolly so different from yours but here are my recs for different genres: Fantasy: Tress of the Emerald Sea(easier) Stormlight Archive(harder way long) Mystery: And Then There Where None Agatha Christie Classic: Anne of Green Gables Sci-fi: Red Rising Romance: A Walk to Remember Nonfiction: Unbroken(best book ever) Out of all these the last one is my most recommended book and defo recommend wether you enjoy history or not!!!!! Sorry for all the recs but just pick whichever one sounds most interesting!

[@gracenevitt]

this is great thanks!!

[@astro_jasper_tillo_fanclub]

love love love this new series!! it feels like a community book club & i'm here for it. i'm finally getting back into reading heavily this year and i feel like we have a very similar interest in what kinds of books we like so I know my tbr is gonna grow so much from these vids hahaha

[@gracenevitt]

love to hear it!! I'm so stoked to be posting more book content and having people vibe with it!! I fear that more book content in general is where my channel will be heading in the future hahah (my ultimate goals for the future of my channel: homesteading/gardening vlogs, minimalism + general anti-consumerism content, and book videos!!)

[@astro_jasper_tillo_fanclub]

@@gracenevitt litrilly what I am on youtube to see. I'll be here for the long haul

[@courtanneking]

You read my recommendation 💗 so happy you liked it! I love this format of video, more please!

[@gracenevitt]

literally is my PLEASURE to do these videos!! it was sooo fun💗 hopefully I can just always have a reading vlog going and post them more often 🥰

[@basedonthebook]

I'm reading Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson. It's like, cozily familiar and still completely different at the same time? I love it.

[@veronicasvideodiaries]

I love Taylor Jenkins Reid (: But for a random slice of life book, I recommend remarkably bright creatures. No one in book club wanted to read it but we all loved it after we finished the book 🌊

[@veronicasvideodiaries]

For non fiction I recommend driven to distraction

[@kailynkausen9445]

I'm laughing at Our Wives Under the Sea (which was my suggestion hahaha). Hearing more about your takes on the books, I def get why it is not up your alley. I went into Our Wives Under the Sea convinced there were going to be mermaids... I see you more as a pop fic/romance/good feels/fast pacing reader than slow burn/literary/genre reader. I didn't realize you didn't read SF! Glad you liked one in the genre though! I also very much liked Project Hail Mary and second the comment suggesting Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. Very similar in the ~vibes~ especially with how it describes science.

[@nataliepatton5184]

Currently halfway through Blood Sisters by Vanessa Lillie. Also would highly recommend Angeline Boulley’s series (Firekeepers Daughter and Warrior Girl Unearthed). Might be a bit out of your comfort zone but both authors cover issues facing Indigenous communities today

[@toward-eternity]

Highly recommend Go as a River by Shelley Read!

[@elisabethprice4697]

Also I used to think Sci-fi wasn’t for me that I didn’t “like” it even tho I never really read it! But now I have read a few books in that genre and I have loved all of them so far! Red Rising being the best one so far! It’s just so good!

[@gracenevitt]

I definitely plan on reading Red Rising!!

[@sd.092]

The last book I read was the seven year slip, and it’s my favorite read this year so far! Also yes make this a series ❤

[@gracenevitt]

OMG I loved that book 😭😭😭

[@ally__catt_]

The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-Eye View of the World by Michael Pollan. It was a book required when I was studying Botany in my undergraduate and it is SUCH an interesting read. It is a non-fiction book but does not read like one in any way, shape, or form. You can easily read it without much Botany knowledge. Such a cool look into how we as humans behave and shape the world (and plants!) around us.

[@gracenevitt]

I LOVE botany and horticulture so hell yeah

[@bethanygreenwood8259]

I think you would like anything by T. Kingfisher

[@gracenevitt]

paladin's grace is one of my holds at the library!!

[@bethanygreenwood8259]

@@gracenevitt I'm reading that series currently and it is fantastic! 💛

[@giantsentences]

i'm so excited to get to our wives under the sea, your face is KILLING ME LMAO. i read armfield's salt slow and really enjoyed it tbh

[@gracenevitt]

LOL it was a good book !!! just not for me 😭😭😂

[@abennett535]

Oooh I feel like you would love Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. That was the book that made me realize.. “hmm maybe I do like science fiction after all” 😅❤

[@gracenevitt]

noted!!

[@LetMeBeLighter]

Me saying "Because we're just trying our best out here!" as if you could hear me 😅 You're very generous with your ratings, from your comments about the last book I thought you were gonna give it one star (I know I would in your situation). I'm reading "Braiding Sweetgrass" at the moment and I have a ton of Emily Henry and Yuval Noah Harari books waiting for me to finish this one. I loved this vlog and seeing your reactions while you read. You're the best 💜

[@gracenevitt]

it was still very well-written and interesting. just let me down in some ways hahah

[@milicagrujic1361]

My 2 favourite books are: 1. "My name is red" - Orhan Pamuk 2. " Sophie's world"- Justein Gorder It would be soo great if I heard your thoughts on theese maybe one day❤❤❤❤🍀🍀🍀

[@enaravaz]

omg I was also traumatised by E.T !!! I couldn't sleep after watching it because I thought he was going to come and kidnap me

[@gracenevitt]

YES THANK YOU!!!!! everyone I talk about is like "oh my gosh what? ET is so cute!!!" and I'm like please never say that to me again

[@TB-qy1et]

@@gracenevittAs a child I once was at home alone in the afternoon and switched on the TV. I came in the middle of a (for me at the time) really scary movie and was so scared to be alone. Switched it off immediately. A few years later I realized that it was E.T. So I had a very similar experience 😅.

[@Lizbeth120]

I'm late to the party. Project Hail Mary has been on my TBR for a while, moving it closer to the top. Some books I always recommend to people are Station Eleven by Emily St John Mandel (speculative, science fiction, 'pastoral apocalypse), the Night Circus and The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern (fantasy, romance) and The Sundown Motel by Simone St James (horror/mystery).

[@gracenevitt]

funny you should say because the night circus mayyy or may not be in my next reading vlog!! hehehe

[@Lizbeth120]

​@@gracenevittI hope you love(d) it! I need to go back and do a re-read sometime

[@Laelin123]

I read the “The Art of Frugal Hedonism” you recommended and I loved it!

[@gracenevitt]

I'm so glad!!

[@Huggible11]

A book I'd recommend is Circe by Madeline Miller. If you like Greek mythology and witchcraft then this will be right up your alley.

[@gracenevitt]

I have read it and loved it!!

[@usch2461]

Greta and Valdin by Rebecca Reilly is a really good book, set in new zealand, lgbtq+ and mental health rep, a story about life in your 20s, friendships, relationships and family

[@gracenevitt]

OH HELL YEAH

[@lenabruhl7284]

For a high pace feelgood romance fantasy vibes I love Ilowna Andrews books. For starters, the Innkeeper Chronicles aka Clean Sweep is realy nice.

[@gracenevitt]

oooooh nice

[@carriecobb8]

Yay! Looking forward to this series 😁 I want to recommend The Salt Path by Raynor Winn. Technically a memoir as it’s a true story but reads like a wonderful beautiful novel. Then if you want a trilogy, Shades of Magic by VE Schwab. Have a great week Grace!

[@gracenevitt]

shade of magic has definitely been on my tbr!!!

[@IzuAurora]

Perfect timing ! Literally 33 seconds ago 😂🫶 Have a lovely day Grace

[@jenf6717]

[@amara560]

Sounds like you read a good variation of books! Can't believe you'd never read sci-fi before 😮 glad your first was a good experience!

[@gracenevitt]

I'm excited to keep expanding genres!

[@carolinebarrett1449]

I feel the similarly about space books (maybe because of ET?? Idk I'll be considering that one) but have to recommend Long Way to a Small Angry Planet. I really think you would be into it. Not your typical space book.

[@gracenevitt]

this has been recommended to me by another subscriber!! I'll definitely prioritize it

[@teacherlovesbeauty]

This was fun to watch!

[@mush_forest143]

some recs: all Sarah Adams books

[@gracenevitt]

omg I've heard so many good things about her books!

[@mush_forest143]

@@gracenevitt yess i read 2 now

[@tigerlili242]

I love the Martian (book) but Project Hail Mary is so long that I haven’t tried 😅 I definitely need to pick it up now!! For more fantasy, I love the Graceling series. I also just finished (and enjoyed) the Throne of Glass series but 1. It took a few books to pick up, very long and 2. I haven’t read any other SJM series so idk how it compares to like acotar. Love the video series!

[@gracenevitt]

if you liked the martian you'd like project hail mary for sure!!!

[@kimberharvey7317]

Hello grace! This video was great. If you get a chance the book “of bees and mist” is my favorite book ever and it’s a good mystery/romance novel. It’s definitely a 5 star for me.

[@gracenevitt]

mystery romance??!? say less

[@_alliett]

*chanting* six of crows six of crows six of crows

[@gracenevitt]

oh that's on my list!

[@TheClassics4]

I still think about the ending of our wives under the sea.. Yes very unsettling!

[@gracenevitt]

just..... not at all what I was expecting going in LOL

[@TheClassics4]

Lol definitely more of a book for when you're wanting the spoopy vibes, if you want to try a not so depressing eerie book, I love slewfoot by Brom or a dowry if blood by ST gibson

Do you have a Goodreads?
