The house in the cerulean sea is my fav of the year so far as well. What a beautiful love about seeing beauty in the world.

[@alexandraroselyn]

I couldn’t agree more💕💕💕

[@DarlingDesi]

Lexi these all sound so amazing! 💛 I've read a few of them, but I added basically the rest of them to my tbr! ESPECIALLY The House in the Cerulean Sea! You completely convinced me. Ahhhh Lock Every Door was one of my favorite reads last year! One of the best thrillers I've ever read. "Books can give you magic when you need it most" 💕you are a literal queen and I could listen to you talk about books all day. This was such a wonderful video!

[@alexandraroselyn]

Desi!!! It's so nice to hear from you! I actually just went on a huge classics/ Jane Austin Haul because of your last two videos (which were BEAUTIFUL by the way!!) .💕

[@thePMreader]

I picked up The House in the Cerulean Sea because of one of your videos where you mentioned your plans to read it and I absolutely fell in love with it as well. One of the best books I've ever read.

[@alexandraroselyn]

THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY I CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mikithompson745]

The House in the Cerulean Sea is my favorite book too and is probably top 5 of all time. I’m glad it brought you joy too.

[@alexandraroselyn]

[@ElizabethAnneBooks]

I keep hearing the best things about The House With Chicken Legs and The House In The Cerulean Sea! I’m stoked for your new book club because I need to incorporate more whimsy (and middle grade in general) into my reading life💛

[@alexandraroselyn]

[@MLLatUtube]

I agree with you about both of the middle grade books and about The House on the Cerulean Sea - all wonderful. I own My Dark Vanessa, but want to be in the right frame of mind to read it. I do want to get to Middle Game soon. Thanks for all of the links to black you tubers - I predict I am about to get lost in you tube this afternoon.

[@aimmie4495]

I suggest you read Kat Wolfe investigates

[@sds7613]

I ordered the house in the cerulean sea, the day you twitted about it! I haven't get to reading it yet, but I'm so excited for it!

[@alexandraroselyn]

OMG amazing!!! I hope you love it as much as I do!!!

[@jaekk99]

Do you have a few videos on Historical Fiction? I am drawn to this genre, can’t seem to get in to anything else!

[@booksandteawithanna-marie6395]

I NEED that edition of The House with Chicken Legs!!! It’s one of my favorite books ever and that edition is so pretty! I’ve heard mixed reviews on Middlegame but after this I want to go pick it up!!

[@alexandraroselyn]

I think you'll like Middlegame!! The writing was so good!!! And I got that version from book depository if it helps!!

[@cleg78]

Hey 👋🏼 it’s the Princess of Middle Grade, hope you are doing well. Good to see you back 🤗

[@cleg78]

I adore House with Chicken Legs and it was my biggest highest rated middle grade of last year. There is a big announcement coming from Sophie Anderson on the 26th of June at 4pm BST so not sure what time it will be where you are but my afternoon will completely stop come 4pm

[@alexandraroselyn]

Aw thank you!!💕💕💕💕

[@alexandraroselyn]

I KNOW I'M SO EXCITED FOR IT!!!! Ahhh!!!

[@cleg78]

Alexandra Roselyn I know she is writing a new book that may be ready for October so I’m hoping it’s news to do with that 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@cleg78]

I have literally just brought The House in the Cerulean Sea 🤗🤗🤗

[@DogEaredPage]

Some really great books in this list! Middlegame, My Dark Vanessa... I really need to get my hands on Cerulean Sea though! I’ve heard nothing but amazing things. 💕

[@alexandraroselyn]

It’s really beautiful I bet you’d like it!!!

[@bibiguluspanova3229]

This is exactly how I feel right now. Books help you escape from reality, however bad it is. Good books help you go through tough times and give hope.

[@enchantedadventuresthrough3065]

I've read: The House with Chicken Legs (gave it 3 stars I think. I got sick of Baba Yaga. But I read another book with her in it and gave that one 5 stars. The Girl Who Speaks Bear.) I now wanna read: The Bone Gap Wild Beauty Still Life with Tornado The Astonishing Color of After The House in the Cerulean Sea (I have this one somewhere on my IMMEDIATE TBR. I should be reading it some time before June of next year. Can't wait! I'm gonna try to work it out to be able to read these in the 2nd half of next year since I have a TBR set until mud June/beginning of July. I hope they're all as good to me as they are to you!

[@enchantedadventuresthrough3065]

I just checked my list. I have about 58 weeks prepared with 5 books each week. No week has The House in the Cerulean Sea so I'm adding it to my list for July. The next week of books has 7 books and I know I won't be able to do it so I'm guessing I need to add an extra week of reading to the list. I also read a physical book once a month so the list will keep changing around and will end up adding a couple of weeks of planned reading to the list. Once I'm done with this list, I need to make a new one of all the audiobooks I've accumulated since I made it and do my number generator game again. I should also have more physical books by then and will have no idea where to start. Oh, and I was supposed to do the 50-state challenge this year, where you read a book set in each of the 50 United States and because all the ones I had picked (I think there were 10) ended up being 1-2 stars(ALMOST ALL OF THEM), I gave up so I could read more 5 star reads. I think only one of the 10 was a 5 star read (Laura and Lisa Long's book, I forget the name) and 1 was a 4 star read I think (Sabrina & Corrina). Maybe others were in this category but I can't remember at this point... I hope you will always be lucky enough to find new books to read and love. It's amazing when you find those, right? It makes me so happy to finish a book that I adored!

[@jezettemarquez8106]

I just bought the house with chicken legs because of this video 😂😂. Btw i love all of your videos ❤️❤️

[@Sharifa466]

Love you Lexi and so happy you and your family are safe 💚 My favourite five star so far has been Night of the Dragon by Julie Kagawa. It just gave me all the feels 😭

[@DaughterofmyMum]

I loved My Dark Vanessa! Such a realistic story of the reality of grooming!

[@alexandraroselyn]

YES! Omg I couldn't agree more. Hard to get through but so important and powerful!

[@sophiasthoughts]

So my TBR just grew again 😆 I want to recommend you the Sound of Stars by Alechia Dow. Dystopian adventure science fiction about an illegal librarian and an alien that loves music teaming up to save the world. My favourite book so far this year, it's great!

[@alexandraroselyn]

OMG THAT SOUNDS AMAZING?! Why haven't I heard of that????

[@sophiasthoughts]

@@alexandraroselyn it hasn't had much buzz but it really should, it is so good

[@lendralit1174]

Bone Gap is my absolute favorite magical realism book! Also love love love the cover. I've read all of Riley Sager's novels, and Lock Every Door is my fave so far. My most recent 5 star is You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle, I cackled reading that book, so funny!

[@julia05027]

Lexi, you really need to read the Acotar series by Sarah.J.Maas. It's really good and i think you'd like it.

[@alexandraroselyn]

omg I so agree!! I read the first book when it first came out but never finished the series!! I think I might do a reread of the first and then binge the others for a vlog👀

[@julia05027]

@@alexandraroselyn I would totally love that! Love from Germany❤

[@JadeJuniiper]

The extremely inconvenient adventure sounds so up my alley! omg! I also struggle to give a summary because I want people to go in with the same lack of knowledge I did xD I've been eyeing Bone Gap for a while now and had no idea it was a retelling. The idea of you uncontrollably crying... my worst nightmare. Due to the trigger, I probably won't manage that one but I think the premise sounds beautiful

[@alexandraroselyn]

LOVE YOU JADEEEE❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@bridgetthomas4681]

I love hard hitting middle grades. Any suggestions?

[@readbymarta2781]

the house with chicken legs is a recent fave of mine too

[@theteachingromance]

The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow was definitely a 5 star book for me. My wanna-be linguist self geeked out about the metaphor used and the eloquent writing. Also, the story is lovable and cute as well despite the slightly sad ending (which might have been only sad for me, though).

[@alexandraroselyn]

I have been meaning to read that book since it first came out! Maybe this will finally be the push that makes me read it because it sounds SO GOOD!!!

[@theteachingromance]

@@alexandraroselyn It really is. I was pleasantly surprised by this one as I originally bought it because of the adorable cover. But after reading the book (and also while reading it) I started viewing books differently.
