Not me running straight towards the video right after i saw 'love theoretically' in the thumbnail 😭😭😭

[@CryingOnTheInside11]

Literally me when I saw throne of glass😭😭😭

[@NaterryB]

I recommend the Glass Castle! It’s a memoir we’re reading in English class this year, but it’s actually so interesting. It’s about the author’s childhood, and let me tell you, it’s absolutely bonkers. It’s a page turner. The book isn’t that long, and the chapters are really short. I like it a lot, and I’d love to hear your opinion on it. Love your videos!

[@jonetasuski9102]

Loved that book

[@yeahno-wv3jk]

My sister loved that book sm

[@samteske2752]

Mad Honey was one of my all time favorites from last year, it's super hard hitting and absolutely incredible! I love Jodi Picoult's writing!

[@tangerinecoral1822]

i loved mad honey!!

[@lulucollins6173]

I read 7 out the one’s you mentioned. Betting on you was so cute!!! Lynn painter has never disappointed me

[@paradisemusic83]

Same !

[@danielleyarbrough8274]

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who didn't like Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow. Love your vlogs❤

[@kkfaith08]

i totally agree with your choice of dnfing tmrw tmrw & tmrw it didnt hit the expectations for me either

[@Bookie97]

no, i died a little inside when you DnF tomorrow x3 but i agree with you that not every popular book is going to be for you and the stage of life you are in :)

[@soapieswiftgalathynius]

Pleaaseee do a reading vlog for TOG!! I'm planning on starting this series soon, let me know if you like it ✨

[@missycosner2137]

Totally 💯 agree with you on tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow!!!

[@maecerys71]

I started reading the Throne of Glass series in september and I just started the final book today! I also did it a bit weird and read the assassins blade after the 4th book in the series 😂😂 Idk to me it felt more interesting that way to see why Celaena made all these choices and why she is like she is.

[@rhiannagirl]

your cat is sooo cute im in love with him!!

[@shelleylawrence8397]

I love your page counter 👌🏻 Also, I love your bookmark!

[@MJ_Riva]

The perfect marriage I just read and in my opinion it’s very similar to silent patient like in the writing style. So if you liked silent patient then I would recommend it

[@amberspade15]

oo yes i’m very excited for this video girl!👏🏽💗

[@helin751]

I am sooo excited for this video!❤

[@mollyb698]

Would love to see your thoughts on Mad Honey! I still think about that one so often! And on that entire list I had read 18 which is way more than I thought! Great video - this was a really fun one!

[@kk-qy4sh]

Same!! Really recommend the audio book. The narrator who did the younger girls part (I can’t remember the name) scratched a part of my brain lol

[@Danielle_Lubrano]

We literally have the same book taste, my 2 dnfs last year were Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow & legends and lattes

[@wxrxw]

Omg i was just watching one of your vids and wishing you uploaded another one

[@KaylaFdS]

Tomorrow x3 was such a disappointment to me 😭 It started out well, but then I just got bored.

[@pernilla.c]

same, i just found the characters kinda annoying 😢

[@craftyannieinthelight3102]

I sooooo agree! I was so upset with it. I was like when is anything going to happen and the relationship between everyone was mediocre at best….

[@icydeadpeeps]

@@craftyannieinthelight3102 Yeah, I can't believe it's so popular. None of the characters or relationships were realistic. The plot was just the same thing over and over again. The big plot point in the final act was so eye rolling and bad. I don't get what people see in it.

[@berna_bookish]

Thanks for this Ali! Yeahh I agree, even though the book is so hyped in Booktok it doesn't mean we will like it too! 😊😊 And sometimes it depends on your mood as well while reading

You should read The Shards by BEE it came out in 2023, and is one of his best books. It might not be the typical book you read. But trust me, it's very good!

[@kylafish]

Yellowface was really good, i loved the audio version of it. However i did not know how to feel by the ending !!

[@jessicahogan2149]

Amazing video!! I love your New Orleans jumper. do you know where its from?

[@AliviaReads]

i just read the assassins blade in a reading vlog, and i knew what was coming because i've read the first three books in the series. i was still SO wrecked by the ending even though i knew what was coming haha. i'm so glad you liked it!

[@Sukie97]

Yo amo ver tus videos para practicar mi listening.

[@LeslyIndiaVlogs]

X2

[@hooflepoof630]

I’m so happy I wasn’t the only one who DNF’d tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow. It was interesting at first but around page 200 I couldn’t keep going. It made me sad and had me in feels I didn’t want to be in. But for what I did read, I’d give it 2.5 ⭐️

[@user-oy8xx9is4k]

You should read the perfect marriage. It’s an amazing book.

[@sarahdavydova9627]

Can someone plz tell me in what order to read throne of glass series I'm so confused cause everyone says different things.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I still need to finish the ToG series 😩

[@LeslyIndiaVlogs]

My reading goal for this year is 50 books, I’ve already read 11.

[@Emmy-rw8yl]

My goal is also 50 books cause I’m hopping to read some longer books this year. I’ve read 7 so far :)

[@LeslyIndiaVlogs]

@@Emmy-rw8yl wow that’s really nice!! You let me know when you accomplish your goal.🥰

[@soapieswiftgalathynius]

Damn you go girl!! 🎉

[@meljaay7]

Agree with Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow!! I also was not obsessed with the characters and pushed through to finish it.

[@makaylairby1048]

I'm so sorry but my mouth dropped when you said you DNF'd Tomorrow x3. This was my favorite read of the entire year (and it was the first I read last year). It made me cry at the end because I was so sad it was over. My heart is broken--I really wish you could've seen it through :(

[@celiabeaulieu-chaput6197]

I definitely should I have DNF’d tmrw x3.. I only kept reading it and finished it because of all the praise for this book and I expected something interesting to happen. Well, one "major" event happened and it did not make me like the book more. I’d even say I found the ending unsatisfactory 🙃

[@craftyannieinthelight3102]

I absolutely agree. I should have DNF’d as well. Sooo boring

[@ryleegracederanger]

Please video your reactions to the rest of throne of glass

[@flor.schick]

I've read 15 books on that list and currently reading tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow (:

[@Kirbstarsxx]

O M G IM IN LOVE WITH YOUR CAT I HAVE ONE THAT LOOKS JUST LIKE THEM!! I really enjoyed this video keep up the good content 😇😛

[@priyar4885]

I love your videos and also can you please read Tom Felton's memoir Beyond The Wand?? It is so good if you're a huge Harry Potter fan!! It goes into depth about behind the scenes of filming the Harry Potter movies!!

[@JustAli]

I really want to!!! Ty for the reminder. I need to add it to my list

[@lizzierh5083]

Oh no. I've just bought Tomorrow x 3 because people were liking it and it's being discussed at a local book club. I'm worried I'm not going to get through it now.

[@jonetasuski9102]

Remarkably bright creatures excellent book

[@peachescotton2200]

I did not predict the ending of the bad thing but looking back I can see it now

[@nidhirathod670]

Can you please give a review on the book named "Irrappu -the man with chisel and rod"

[@plantycassy]

Carrie soto is back is my favourite book of 2024 so far!

As a native spanish speaker, I find your pronunciation funny and adorable at the same time💗

im finishing throne of glass (im going to read assassins blade third) and i'm... quite scared based off of your reactions

[@oddball7888]

Real for buying another copy of Shadow & Bone because I spent 10 extra dollars to buy the original covers of the trilogy😭 It drives me crazyyyyy when my book series/books don’t match- some part of my brain just is bothered for no reason

[@ameliamack9126]

I also did not love tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow. It was just OK to me!

[@mysteryworld8170]

Have you read the book Steven Demogorgon?

[@Book_Recommendationz]

Red white and royal blue is literally the best book ever

[@beccasaurus69]

I've read 13/39 though there were a couple I'll never read :p And with TOG I read Assassin's blade after Heir of Fire because that's what Sarah J Maas said the order was on her website 😂

[@soapieswiftgalathynius]

Ok the author is the most reliable hahaha

If you want to read more memoirs you should read How to Say Babylon!

Hi Ali!

[@mimstarkgaryen6182]

I looove your videos, ali, but also check some of the things he said on the book that have been proved false, or maybe it was just his pov of it all… its a great read tho!

[@holliyates10]

I tried to read Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow twice, once eye ball reading and once on audio, and I DNF’d it twice 😩 I was just so bored

[@priyavvenkat]

Ive read 18 out of the 29 books youve already read 😮 👋

[@craftyannieinthelight3102]

Tomorrow x3 was really boring to me. I kept waiting for something and a relationship to mean something a little more than what it was. I should have DNF’d it. I know it’s an unpopular opinion but I can’t see the hype at all. I did read the TOG series and it started off very young writing style…. But it got pretty damn good by the end. The last 4 books were very good to me

[@user-ez4ow5re8o]

Read powerless by Lauren Roberts

[@samuelloquias5980]

Can we see the bookworm again

[@jeonsena_jk]

She really said "Spanish or Vanish" 😂

[@madiriet]

i wish i dnfed tomorrow x3, i have never been so bored reading a book. the most boring characters with the most boring lives, you’re not alone at all

[@panini4200]

I'm so glad I found someone else that didn't enjoy Tomorrow x3! I found some parts interesting but for the most part it was just repetitive and boring to me which is such a bummer because I wanted to join the group of people that love it!

[@teodoragordic8854]

i read 16/39 i loced this videoo

[@Thetrilingualreader]

I almost dnfed tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow too, but was buddy reading so i powered through. I rated it 1.75 stars. It was inconsistent. Sadie was insufferable. The jump back and forth didnt make sense when she deliberately made time move forward and then added important events as an afterthought that happened in the time that passed. The tone of the writing was inconsistent. It dragged on so long and the ending was sooo unsatisfying. I would have maybeeee liked it better if it was 200 pages shorter

[@willhatfield362]

I’ve never been a fan of the Royal Family and Spare really cemented that for me. I felt so bad for Harry and hated how the Royal Family treated him and Meghan.

[@shelleylawrence8397]

I DNF’d Tomorrow, Tomorrow and Tomorrow ☺️

[@taniadavis3803]

I felt the same way about Yellowface. So hyped and I couldn't finish it! I didn't like it because it's like watching a train wreck. So disappointing as the beginning of the book was really good!

[@amihanbyann]

STOPPPP! WHY ARE YOU SO PRETTY?? 😍😍😍 Sending love from Sweden xx

[@amihanbyann]

So I am not the only one who DNFed Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow after all. Unfortunately, it was just not a cup of my tea. 🥺

[@shamailaloverofpages]

your going to love betting on you !!

[@fantasy_lovr]

Lingoda is taking over… Duolingo, watch out

[@laurencutrone4057]

Not gonna lie, I'm kind of relieved to hear someone else not like Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. I wasn't that invested in the characters and I found one character to be so problematic that I couldn't enjoy it. It's good to not be alone!

[@JillianCristina]

I finished Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, and I promise you if you don't like it by that point in the book, I don't recommend finishing it. I was lukewarm about it and I can't not finish a book unless it is absolutely atrocious, but it was just very repetitive. Like you said, it is a character-driven book, the plot is there just for character development but the plots does the same few things over and over and over, just a bit differently. The problem with that is you then need the characters to be likeable, which in my opinion, 2 of the 3 main characters just aren't. Marx is my favorite character in the book (slight spoiler but I hate what the author decided to do with this character later in the book), Sadie is just... there (I don't like her but I don't dislike her), and Sam is just downright the worst, he is pretentious and rude. I empathized with him earlier in the book because of everything that has happened to him, but it's hard to feel for a character who turns out to be a turd (to put it lightly). And the book is supposed to be about friendship (they supposedly love each other more than anything in the world) but they treat each other like garbage. I was so excited to read that book and it just disappointed me. I'm glad that I'm not the only person unimpressed by this book.

finally i found someone that also doesn't like tomorrow x3! for me the characters were very unlikable and that got worse throughout the book

I read Spare the day it was released. I think he deserves more than te public are willing to give. The Firm are about money and relevant and will trod on anyone to maintain it.

[@nancypickard3456]

I also DNFd Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. I did not enjoy the characters and the story did not draw me in. Good to know I am not the only one who didn't like this beloved book.

[@IldikoSzendrei]

I didn't like "Tomorrow and...". It gave me vibes of "A Little Life". Sam was created for suffering and nothing else, just like Jude. Why would you do that as an author? 🙈

[@Sky-np5hp]

girl, I gave "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow" 2 stars. Honestly, I feel like I just wasted my time on this book, the only reason why it didn't get one star was because Marx carried that book with his personality. (Spoiler!) and then they killed him off.... yays! The story was boring, the disabled arc wasn't explored enough for me, the relationship between the two main characters just feels unpolished and we just jump around in the story so much - I just didn't get invested and I totally feel like I wasted my time and money on that book. (Spoiler End!) In conclusion, I do not understand the hype around this book at all.

[@Irina-sy8iw]

I found your channel about a month ago and it's been so fun to watch! I love all the videos but it seems like your doing a sponsorship in almost every video.
