[@xxkev]

Bro not to sound corny lol but you really became my favorite book tuber since the very first video I’ve seen of you. Literally watched every single one of them too. You made me want to start reading again. Appreciate you my guy 🫡🫡🫡 don’t stop, you’re inspiring a lot of ppl to pick up a book 💯 thank you!

[@girlwiththemagicpen]

Would be cool if you started your own channel to record your reading journey as well 🌞

[@LitVibesWithFive]

Yoooo, that’s hella dope bro! That ain’t corny at all! I’m glad I could inspire 💯 Let’s keep it going!!

[@seochangbinsarms]

Since you liked Harry Potter so much, I’d really recommend reading Percy Jackson if you ever get the chance! Especially since the show is out now

[@abeo321]

this is such a good rec! i haven't reread the series as an adult but i've been wanting to since watching the show. i was hesitant to watch it after that horrible film adaptation but i've really been liking it so far.

[@seochangbinsarms]

@@abeo321 I’ve reread pjo so many times it’s insane, I’m still finishing up TOA rn before getting to Nico and wills book

[@lovehatetragedy823]

Great series 👍🏾!

[@Scorix]

when you are ready Brandon sanderson is the current goat of fantasy start with misborn or stormlight archive.

[@Saltynebula-xi2di]

Yesss Mistborn is so good!

[@kaitlynbuquoi7132]

It’s dense, complex, and the magic system is incredibly original but it really is a great time once you decide you want more in depth and intense high-fantasy. I feel like we each have our own arc when it comes to fantasy literature and sometimes it takes a long time to make it to that part of the fantasy series. Lol.

[@picoyhardly]

I came to say Mistborn is fantastic

[@LaurenIozzi]

would love to see you vlog reading this entire series especially the later books as they get CRAZY! and yes they do get a lot better/darker/more mature. The way she planned out this entire story and weaved everything together is masterful and I cant wait to see what you think!

[@comicaltuber]

Glad you're giving HP a try. You're in for one hell of a ride with the rest of the series (and future adaptations as well). Whoever recommended it is a g

[@emjayy1233]

it was me haha im happy he started too

[@lucyjazz1]

Ohhh how lucky you are to read this series for the first time ! And your intuition is good, the story gets darker and darker, the writing gets more mature and, also, it gets better and better ! If I were to recommend you another really good series, it would be His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman ! Enjoy your journey in the Harry Potter world ! 😊

[@kimreese3530]

The books get more mature and sinister as you read the series. The characters are growing up with the young readers that first picked the series up in 1997. It’s such a pleasure to watch you discover something that can only be discovered for the first time once.

[@d8nya1]

You and I are in the same boat!! I’ve never read Harry Potter either and this year I’m getting into fantasy and Harry Potter is on my list I’m so excited

[@jacquelinegonzalezmahr5301]

I became a stepmom to two beautiful young boys at the beginning of the Harry Potter series. One of them hated to read. I think only three books were out at the time. It became such a great part of our lives. I remember all of us at Borders bookstore at midnight for each new release. We saw the first movie together. I had a Harry Potter birthday party for the oldest. It was a great chapter in our lives together. Okay two recommendations: City of Beasts by Isabel Allende and Quest for the Faradawn by Richard Ford. Both children’s books. Excellent fantasy!

[@Hillary429]

Don’t worry about spoilers, we want to hear all your thoughts! Would recommend putting the movies on hold until you finish the books and highly recommend the audiobooks! Both the American and British narrators are incredible. Otherwise just put on the John Williams soundtrack while you read and you will be transported 🦉✨

[@Grace-Grace-]

This was a joy to watch! I’m so glad you love HP! Took me back to the days when I first found it! I was legit not literate in the 5th grade (sad but true) and might have grown up to never actually know how to read if not for HP. I got sick for a whole month that yr and my g-ma was old school so no tv if you are too sick for school…she told me to read and someone at school had given me HP at a reading event. I spent the whole month slowly sounding out each word and hanging with Harry, he got me through it and taught me I could enjoy reading and it could be cool. I wouldn’t be where I am now if not for that, this series is my home. I took off after that reading anything fantasy I could as a kid and since I still loved my show I would read during the commercials of my Pokemon and cartoons haha! I hope you love the ride of this series and seeing Harry grow up. If you want some great fantasy for young adults or adults I suggest six of crows or a darker shade of magic and anything by Brandon Sanderson, he is a current fantasy god. Take care! ❤

[@GeorgiaIsReading]

I love your channel so much, you have such infectious positivity that no matter what mood I’m in, I always finish your videos smiling. You gave me the confidence to start uploading my own booktube videos ❤

[@LitVibesWithFive]

Thank you so much 🙌🏾 So glad I could help!

[@depressedsocialworker]

Nice to meet you cuz. I am proud of you. Paid promotions this early in the game? Gone head now ❣️

[@tessib.1043]

I am so jealous. To be able to read HP for the first time! I absolutely loved this series.❤❤

[@susanlindsey9497]

Seriously THE BEST Harry Potter reading vlog! I love your commentary during your reading! Can’t wait for the rest of your Harry Potter reading vlogs!

[@IamTrentChambers]

I am so jealous of you getting to read Harry Potter for the first time. I loved the series and the 4th book is my personal favorite. I love how you took the book with you to go bowling. I carry a book with me almost everywhere I go and if it isn't a physical copy I have the Kindle app on my phone and iPad lol. Love what you are doing. Keep inspiring Five.

[@user-jo4em3lz1r]

I would love to see your reaction to the other books as well. The story is so familiar to me, it's really cool to see the reaction from someone reading it for the first time.

[@victoriaelias3177]

Im so happy I found this channel, He’s a Gem 💎

[@jacquelinelucas6302]

The way i gasped when i saw the title of the video. So excited to see you fall in love with this series!!🤓⚡️

[@person_1140]

Have you ever read the lord of the rings?

[@Atouchofcreativity]

Hey, cuz! Harry Potter will always hold a special place in my heart. I can't wait to see what you think about the rest of the series. Congrats on the sponsor, cuz!

[@dawnmk135]

Just want to say I love your channel - your perspective, love of reading, you just being super down to earth and real and genuine... it's so refreshing and engaging. Reminds me why I love books and reading ☺️

[@LitVibesWithFive]

Thank you so much 🙌🏾 I really appreciate it!

[@savdot]

Someone else mentioned it too but definitely read the percy jackson series

[@FiveOhAnna]

I grew up watching the movies as a kid when they were first coming out! I’m reading the books for the first time and am currently on the 5th one. They really do get more mature and darker over time. The writing is beautiful and so much more in depth than the movies! However, I still love the movies❤️

[@kickboxing3728]

Congrats on the sponsor!

[@kengeBUtiful]

I read these as they were coming out and I was an adult. They only get better. I would suggest the Tristan Strong books on audio was my favorite the characters came alive truly.

[@Sdany2700]

this thumbnail is pure art 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@LitVibesWithFive]

I try, I try 🤣🤣 Thank you! lol

[@debhanzlik540]

I’m so jealous you are reading HP for the first time! Enjoy it’s worth it! I was hooked when I saw the chapters The Boy Who Lived and the Keeper of the Keys!

[@postcards-and-stories]

I'm so happy you loved the first book! HP is a huge part of my childhood, and also adulthood to be honest. I used to make my own wands and duel with my siblings, we had a lot of fun 😄 Can't wait to see more of your HP videos!!

[@OnlyTheBestFantasyNovels]

Always great to see someone enjoy this series for the first time! Fantasy recommendation, best place to get a taste of what modern fantasy is like would be Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn.

[@joeliz9082]

I am so excited for this and so glad you loved it. I can't wait for the next one!

[@xoxojoxoxo]

so happy you enjoyed it! you're making me want to drop everything and do a re-read!

[@sildom4023]

I clicked on this video soooooo fast! Lol! They get sooooooooo much better!!!!!! 3 and beyond are definitely more grown up.

[@cari9157]

SO happy you enjoyed it! such a special and magical series. and it gets better and geared towards an older audience over time, too. so excited to see future reactions to the next books!

[@FromTheLibraryOfBecca]

This gave me so many good memories and feelings! I grew up with HP, I used to do all the long waiting lines (for movies and books)! You’ll love this series. And you will end up loving, understanding and respecting Snape, I promise you!

[@lauradone9232]

I'm reading HP for the first time in my 30s and I am loving it 👏🏻 I'm on the third book right now and can't wait to dig into the darker books in the series. You gotta check out all the films, perfectly done. I watched 3 films today 😂

[@TeexMack]

Love that you are reading Harry Potter! Can’t wait to see what you think of the rest of the books

[@JasWritesInDarkness]

Can’t wait for you to find out how much of G Hagrid is! 😁❤️ You will also find out about Snape

[@janayemoore6345]

Tip: Lay book on flat surface open front cover and back cover press down then one page at a time repeat process that way you can break in the book without breaking or damaging the spine.

[@1atclark1atspellman16]

Wassup Cousin! When you finish the series you’ll go back to book one and see all the small details you missed that were foreshadowing things that would play a part later in the series. It’s a great series! Enjoy cuz. Love your videos.

[@Kami.71]

Woow! I’m so happy you loved it so much!! ⚡️

[@CatharticCreation]

so excited for you to read the rest of the series

[@ashcasseragonzalez3701]

okkkk cousin fiveee, i didn't know you were about DIY like that! lowkey some sewing/crochet vlogs would be super fun to watch from you

[@MikaelaShea]

I love that you’re reading aloud. ❤

[@lisatortorella1051]

Love that you love HP!! I can't wait to hear your review of the next book. Outside of the core three, Snape is my favorite character 🙃

[@hime9267]

this book series is so nostalgic!!!! i hope you enjoy

[@Jouhls]

loved the vlog and adore the hp series . if ya ever do another vlog about hp id love to see you take the pottermore quiz see what house u belong in :D

[@flippinpages6550]

They keep getting better

[@emjayy1233]

I was the first person to recommend it! great that you enjoyed it you have a lot of fun ahead of you

[@linalikesreading]

It’s an amazing series, can’t wait to hear what you think of the rest of the books😃

[@syd7903]

I love seeing new Harry Potter fans.

[@amandasalmi6616]

I wish you were my cousin! I love how fun and wholesome your videos are!

[@therachelmac]

The Hunger Games is a FANTASTIC series! I recommend it whole heartedly! Loved watching you read HP! It’s such a staple.

[@MamaBookFox]

Love that you're giving HP a try! Hope you enjoy - you're in for a wild ride. Also, we don't host BBQs, but you're welcome to our carne asadas 🙌

[@ReadingRekindled]

Harry Potter is such a great series to dive in to. Wait until you get to the third book…it starts getting dark! I have been loving the content. Keep up the amazing work!

[@ourabouras]

Hope to see one of your handmade crocheted beanies in a future video 😁 I’d recommend Brian Jacques Redwall series, they’re wonderful fantasy adventure series about warrior knights. Also gotta recommend Martha Wells’ Murderbot Diaries for quick sci-fi adventures with a sarcastic cyborg.

[@angeliquegraves5881]

Excited to watch this ! ❤

[@angeliquegraves5881]

Much love from Louisville KY!

[@delaneycohn2587]

I love this channel! The vibes are so lit! I’d love to hear your thoughts with spoilers! I get it if you’re too worried about spoiling the books for people who haven’t read them yet. I have seen some KZbinrs put spoilers at the end of the video or use time stamps and tell people to skip that part if they don’t want spoilers.

[@desireegreen998]

I'm glad you enjoyed the 1st Harry Potter. I’ve seen all the movies but never read the books, but that has been my goal for 2024 to read the whole series. I'll be starting the 5th book today actually. Its been nice to compare the movies and the books and read about all the missing details you miss in the movies. So I hope you enjoy your HP journey!

[@swipitoemg7884]

Nice to hear that you are eager to read more fantasy! 😁

[@TheNerdyCowgirlReads]

Snapper is one of my favorite characters! Please keep reading!

[@luvmeday]

read this series probably more than 10 times growing up but have been meaning to do a reread now that it's been a while. hope you enjoy the books, they definitely get better and better.

[@imhim94ivan]

Books and the movies are fire. Rock with both for sure.

[@meganega123]

Movies are trash.

[@nettielynch434]

Great video!! Thank you so much for this! Yes, read more of the series🙂You'll get some answers to other stuff going on in there

[@dpier6]

Cousin Five with the sponsorship 🎉 let’s gooooo!

[@LochsLibrary]

i normally skip the sponsor clips but… i sat through yours and i have no regrets 🫶🏼 i love your videos so much xD

[@Leuh-duh]

I’m rereading the books right now 👌🏽 love them. my recommendation is the Beautiful Creatures series another one of my faves

[@rosapartee8678]

❤so proud of you 🎉 you’re in for a fun time/I wish I was reading them for the first time. Then there are Robin Hill’s books, poppy war trilogy, ember in the ashes series, Anne Rices Vampire series, shadow & bone💕💕👏🏽👏🏽📚so many books so little time ❤❤have fun

[@jenniferm.2142]

Do you mean Robin Hobb? If so, I agree, those books are great as well and good for beginners in fantasy. That’s the boat I’m in and I’m reading them now and thoroughly enjoying them.

[@Ohheylisa]

I love your channel btw, I myself haven't read the Harry Potter series (only watched the first movie), you have me wanting to add it to my summer reading list.

[@thebooknitter]

I wished i could read the books when i was a child and not the movies, since my parents did not get books for me or anything. Love to see your experience now 😊

[@goddess_eve21]

Glad you are loving it! I re-read this after being introduced to HP in 8th grade ... book 1 reminded me why I love Fantasy as a whole. I am about to read book 3 sometime this weekend ... it definitely gets better. Not sure if you would like thr Shadow & Bone series, but maybe give it a try. I read Book 1 and did not much like it, but I am willing to give it another chance since I was gifted the series.

[@LoftinW]

Bro i love your videos 🤣

[@paperboundfolio]

I read the Harry Potter series for the first time last year! Even with knowing the whole story from watching the movies, there was still a lot I learned about the world and characters. I feel like you might like the A Series of Unfortunate Events series. Or even The Chronicles of Narnia series.

[@LemonC00kies]

Your intro is too cute 😄

[@sidneyn1366]

Gregor the Overlander (and the other books in the series) by Suzanne Collins are a fun read! Middlegrade fantasy series but with dark/heavy themes. A wild ride for sure. It’s set in modern day New York, Gregor and his sister stumble (or tumble as it were) into a secret underground world that is verrryyy different than the one they left behind.

[@joslyngibson9965]

I’m glad you enjoyed Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, but the series gets a lot better. I’m excited to see what you read next. It would be fun to see you react to a smutty book 😂 Thanks for another great video!

[@LochsLibrary]

i’m here for this

[@chancecarer5234]

I'm glad you enjoyed Harry Potter. A Winkle in Time by Madeline L'Engle is a great classic Syfy.

[@bibliomania158]

Hey cousin! Good to see you, if you haven't already, so should read The Hobbit, and the. The Lord of the rings... can't wait for more videos 👊

[@StarchildLunaMoon]

You’re reading Harry Potter?? My favourite book series?? Let’s goo🔥 So glad you loved the first one.

[@bmartin4549]

Growing up I fell in love with the series, but right before the release of book 4 I was forced to stop because of my family’s very strict religious beliefs. I wasn’t allowed to watch anything with magic, wizards, witches, etc. etc. I always regretted not finishing the series or getting into the movies. I’m glad to see you able to enjoy it as an adult. Maybe I will pick them back up and join you on this journey!

[@jam1736]

Great video!! Thanks 😀

[@mynti6662]

do you have a good reads or storygraph we can follow ? i would LOVE to be able to see your reviews !! i finished the HP series a couple weeks ago, don’t let the big ones scare you, they’re all so worth it !!!!!

[@lovehatetragedy823]

It goes down in HP. The first three books are kind of setup. But it gets real in books 4-7. I can't wait for you to get through the series 🫶🏾.

[@MORRAffirmative]

The intro 😂😂 I love you call us cousin because I greet my subscribers “hey family”

[@LitVibesWithFive]

Aye, we all one big family lol 😂🙌🏾

[@kerstinharold5420]

I loved Harry Potter and these books got me intk reading 23 years ago 😊. I'm not a huge fan of the movies though. They're well-made and good to watch, but the books are way better, more interesting and catching. For a good fantasy story, well written and folklore backgrounds, please read Katherine Arden (winternight trilogy). It's my favorite series of the year!

[@amypeters4025]

Since you asked for recommendations, I would suggest Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson. I just finished and it is so good😍

[@sonnystormg]

It only gets better! Coming from a long time HP fan, I’ll recommend a couple of fantasy books: The Name of The Wind, The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings.

[@jenniferm.2142]

Fabulous! I’m a grown adult and I think this is definitely the best series I’ve ever read. It’s very relatable and you can really love and relate to the characters. I’m currently rereading this and am in book 4 at the moment. The series does get darker as it goes along, but still in an appropriate way since it’s written for kids. I’m excited to see new people discovering and loving this series! ❤ Honestly don’t worry about the spine. My copy looks the same way. That just means the book is well loved. 😜 Another series I’ve been reading in fantasy that I’m quite enjoying starts with Assassin’s Apprentice by Robin Hobb. She wrote a series of series, but that’s the first one of the first trilogy. I’m in book 2 right now. They’re a bit slower than Harry Potter but I still found myself very engaged in it and quite enjoying the characters. It’s mostly about this bastard son of a dead prince who gets dropped back into the castle to apprentice under the stable master, and is also secretly apprenticing under the king’s assassin. He also seems to have some sort of aptitude for magic, though it’s not super well developed yet. I’m excited to see where it all goes.

[@LaughingStockfarm1]

Love your enthusiasm, and envy you your first time reading HP. Such a great series. As for fantasy, you might try the Iron Druid Chronicles series by Kevin Hearne, or the October Daye series by Seanan McGuire. Both are contemporary/urban fantasy, the first set in Tucson, AZ and the second in San Francisco, CA. For a stand-alone, I’d recommend ‘The Sword of Kaigen’, my first 5 ⭐️ of the year. Just fantastic. Genre fiction can be so much fun! I tend toward Scifi & fantasy. I think the term you might be looking for as far as what to call a dude who love fantasy is geek. 😆 Welcome to the Geekdom!

[@ScarlettOli]

I hope you get the chance to read chamber of secrets. That’s one of my faves

[@Momba_Jules]

I clicked so fast!

[@chandrareaux6700]

Harry Potter is everything!!! You'll grow to love Snap later lol.

[@emjayy1233]

i still dont like him

[@omalleysmith9100]

I'd recommend "The Way of Kings" by Brandon Sanderson. A lot of characters and a complicated story but the further you go into it, the more it makes sense and it is a wild ride.

[@rosapartee8678]

❤also, Hunger games, Cinder(Marissa Meyers), NK Jemisin, 📖📚📚📚

[@thuff31]

If you want more Fantasy read Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson

[@sarahhansen8004]

You’re gonna LOVE the rest of the series. Just hold off on watching the movies until you read all the books is my suggestion. Great video.

[@mbranche4234]

Hey Cuz 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾. I really like Peaves in the book series. He definitely needs his butt tapped for his mischief but I like him 🤣

[@tauniamedina1407]

You should read Stephen King’s Dark Tower series. It’s his magnum opus. Great series.

[@MORRAffirmative]

You not liking Snape made me giggle 😂😂😂
