I always really appreciate it when people are honest about what they didn’t like in really popular books. Sometimes I feel isolated or guilty if I didn’t like a popular book

[@thatoisaacs4030]

But why would you feel guilty??? You're entitled to your own opinions and preferences. Sometimes it just makes me so annoyed when people feel guilty for not liking a popular book. I'd rather be among the 1% I didn't like it than pretend otherwise... Sometimes I just don't vibe with the book and it's okay. As along as I'm not mean, malicious to those who liked it.

[@Leenambw]

@@thatoisaacs4030 As a people pleaser I always feel the need to be happy with what others like even if I don’t like it. But i’m coming out of that shell, i’m starting to realize it’s just reading and never that serious.

[@ravenhairedreader]

for sure!! i’m such a people pleaser and sometimes it’s hard to go against the grain!

[@jaimeslibrary]

i absolutely adore your vlogs so much, you are so thorough when talking through your thoughts and opinions and everything feels so well thought out. you look gorgeous and i can't wait for your book haul this month! 🥰

[@ravenhairedreader]

thank you Jaime you’re so sweet 😭 love your channel to death. 🫶🏻💜

[@KatieColson]

Thank you! I feel the exact same way about Happy Place and feel so bad that it wasn’t for me

[@ravenhairedreader]

it was such a disappointment. i want to love her books as much as everyone else does but it just doesn’t happen for me 😫

[@kendrahammond3487]

I picked up fourth wing, I work at a bookstore and that's the only copy we were sent ! It's so beautiful. I couldn't help myself

[@booksanddrafts]

OMG that cover of blood solace is so beautiful!! I have to get to it soon😍

[@ravenhairedreader]

it’s so stunning truly a work of art!

[@davancerda]

I think the sprayed edges on Fourth wing are on it everywhere it’s sold, because I saw it at target the other day and it had them.

[@taylorreads]

omg i read slaying the vampire conquerer right after watching this video and I finished it yesterday and girlllll it was fantastic 😭😭 i haven’t had a five stars in a long time and that was itttt✨✨ i’m so happy you included it in this video thank youuu😩🙏🏼

[@susiekidd9183]

👍🏽 Yes, B&N is owned by Waterstones now. I DNF’d Happy Place. I seem to be aligned with your thoughts, felt PWMOV & Beach Read we’re pretty good, but didn’t care for Book Lovers.

[@Bookbonkers8439]

I believe that Waterstones owns B&N now, so maybe we’ll see more sprayed edges on books! Great video!

[@xoxoKacey6]

Fourth Wing has spayed edges everywhere you can purchase!!! This was how the book was published, I read somewhere it was one time print and once sold out there will be no more printed like that, but I could be lying lol. I ordered mine on Amazon 😊

[@ravenhairedreader]

oh that’s good to know! i thought it was just a barnes thing ☺️

[@BookedandBusy]

I felt very similarly about miss happy place 🐈

[@ravenhairedreader]

oooh i can’t wait to hear your thoughts. v disappointing

[@shaunavazquez2117]

Love the recommendations ❤🐈

[@aprilskylynn]

Yes!!!! Fourth Wing! 😆😆🖤🖤🖤 btw will you be doing a vlog on this book? 🙊💕🐱

[@Books.with.Cara.]

I got an ALC of Fourth Wing and I love it! 🐉

[@sarahsshelves]

I feel the exact same way about Happy Place 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

[@vampirekeeley]

I have a vlog coming out tomorrow reading Emily Henry for the first time! It was definitely a rollercoaster of emotions reading all four books, and it went in a direction I didn’t expect. I thought I would love her😅

[@msmuffin411]

Do you think that maybe Happy Place is just not your typical book genre? I notice most of the books you like /recommend are fantasy romance. I feel I need to look at a few more book recs on Happy Place before removing it from my cart . Thanks for the video !

[@fh7041]

I was having a little anxious day, this vlog especially helped me relax! thank you idk if you read Immortal after dark series I think you would really enjoy I do think the books get better and better, KC some how writes different FMC and MC pairings each time.

[@ravenhairedreader]

awww i’m sorry you were feeling anxious, i’m glad this video helped 🥹 i will look into that series, thank you!

[@natalieandbooks6377]

clicked SO fast! Been waiting to hear your thoughts on happy place since I saw you give it 2.5 on goodreads 😂 I feel like the only one who didn’t love it!

[@ravenhairedreader]

aww thank you!! haha yesss very unfortunate wish i loved it more! 😭

[@lifeofabellepepper]

Miscommunication tropes are little my least favorite tropes!! So thanks for this, was thinking about picking it up and now I probably won't. Mainly cause this trope kills reading moods.

[@JulEnglefaris]

I've had such bad luck on pango books with books smelling like cigarettes or perfume lol. The risk you take with used books, I guess 😅

[@marliscan]

Are you planning on reading the rest of that monster series? I know Carissa Broadbents book was the first one but theres like 4 other books by different authors but in same series.

[@rosierosereads]

It’s so interesting to me to see who likes which Emily Henry book - I feel like people either like Beach Read/PWMOV more or they like Book Lovers/Happy Place more.

[@ravenhairedreader]

yeah i definitely fall in the beach read/PWMOV side, love those books so much!

[@KatieLeas]

🐈 It’s so nice to see someone else feel the same about Happy Place. I just don’t understand all the five stars and it’s starting to make me grouchy to see people gush over it 😅 🐈‍⬛

[@elyssamariew]

I felt the exact same way about happy place and it sucks bc i do love emily henry but the miscommunication made no sense for a couple that was together for so long

[@massari735]

Fourth Wing was SO FREAKING GOOD. Hope you enjoy it :) ♥ *saying this like I´m not having a completely hangover and life hasn´t lost all it´s meaning after finishing this book* send help

[@ericad3397]

🐈‍⬛❤ I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on fourth wing 📚

[@ravenhairedreader]

thanks! i’m so excited for it!

[@amieereads8452]

After my May work event is done i am reading ALL OF CARISSA haha

[@emie4050]

excuse me i saw fourth wing everywhere but i hadn't heard anything about it but it sounds incredible and like i'd love it? i'm adding it to the tbr right now

[@emie4050]

the physical copy of blood solace is so stunning!

[@emie4050]

in just a few months, carissa became a favourite author of mine and i'm waiting a bit to read slaying the vampire conqueror since then it'll be at least a year before she has a new book but i"m so happy to hear it was amazing 💕

[@emie4050]

never apologize for your rating of a book it's so okay

[@ravenhairedreader]

yessss fourth wing! that was the same for me, never heard of it and then once i found out about it was like wow i need this immediately!

[@forevermoodreading]

You went to my Barnes! 😍

[@KristinKravesBooks]

I also didn't love Book Lovers so this has me nervous to read Happy Place!

[@Emmy-2]

Happy Place didnt work for me either. I just felt meh about it. The only one of her books that i have loved is Beach Read the other ones have been 3 stars. Havent read people we meet on vacation

[@Leenambw]

Is there a reason why you didn’t give STVC 5⭐️? What is your complaint? Just wondering ☺️

[@ravenhairedreader]

omgggg i did give it 5 stars in my head but i just checked goodreads and i accidentally gave it 4! so thank you for this! hahaha that was a total mistake. def a 5 star read for me 🥰

[@amandawillems6921]

Your the first person to say this everyone who has read this said they loved it made them cry

[@LochsLibrary]
