[@jordannedunn9898]

I tried so hard with Beautiful Creatures but each chapter is just so different it feels like two whole different books shoe-horned into one. Great video!

[@nidhireddyreads]

[@yasminbereadin]

no punches were pulled in the making of this video and we love to see itttttt

Sci-fi rec: warcross by Marie lu (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️)

[@nidhireddyreads]

YES I LOVE MARIE LU!! i gave warcross & wildcard 4 stars, she's the best

[@erinsbookisle4058]

A wonderful Sci-Fi series for beginners is the Murderbot Diaries! It’s an adult hard sci-fi series that is (thus far) made up of 4 novellas and 1 novel with another novella on the way. They are short but adventurous with a main character that you really get attached to who grows throughout the series. Character heavy more than plot heavy with a good mix of action, space travel, and fun characters.

[@nidhireddyreads]

i’ve heard so many ppl suggest this!!! this sounds right up my alley hehe ty

[@merreads]

i literally gasped when i saw this in my sub box

[@merreads]

[@nidhireddyreads]

PLS MER ILY and omg finally some taste in this comment section

You need to read Skyward by Brandon Sanderson, that series gets everyone in to sci-fi!

[@nidhireddyreads]

[@holleay964]

[@aimun5255]

Beautiful creatures is one of those popular series from the paranormal romance peak era post twilight that nobody talks about anymore lol but god remembering it now, it was so weird and the most striking thing I recall is the southernest of it

[@nidhireddyreads]

i remember coming on to booktube and everybodyyyy reading it, lol sometimes you feel left out. also that twilight era...INTERESTING TIME

[@hannahcanreadsometimes]

Ready for the tea!! 💜💜 sameeeee I don’t think I’ll ever read game of thrones ..... sci-fi can be so hard to get into.

[@nidhireddyreads]

right!!!! i wish i could like it to be a big brain reader

[@TroyReads]

Omg yesss I’ve been waiting for this 🙈🤩

[@nidhireddyreads]

thank you 😭😭♥️

[@haileydetterich8260]

A really good sci-fi series that’s character based is Somaiya Daud’s Mirage Duology. It’s a Moroccan space opera where a farm girl becomes the doppelgänger for a cruel princess of a controlling and vicious empire. It deconstructs colonization and what the different affects are on the people who are colonized. It’s own voices and includes translations of Arabic poetry done by the author, her mother, her aunt, and her grandmother because it was lost to time as white German historians put it ,“gibberish almost like Dr. Seuss“ when really it was incredibly beautiful poetry. The main focus in the story is on the relationships that are built. There is a romance, and emphasis on family, and friendships. Actually, the friendships were one of my favorite things explored in this book series so if you like character exploration this might be a good one to try. Plus it’s only two books and they’re only like...300 pages?

[@haileydetterich8260]

I forgot to mention there’s also a main character with a POV who is a wlw in the second book and it’s...So Good.

[@nidhireddyreads]

that sounds so good!!! (and it’s short) tysm for the rec i’m definitely going to check it out ♥️♥️

Holly Black's white cat trilogy is a really good and different with a interesting magic system. I really wish it was as popular as her fae trilogy

[@nidhireddyreads]

i read doll bones by her (middle grade?) and i don't know if her works are my thing :/

[@aimun5255]

@@nidhireddyreads haven't read that but yeah her books are a hit or miss for me, I didn't like the coldest girl in town and that other one with the twin siblings one either but her YA fantasy trilogies all worked out for me so lol I take a chance with her when it seems like my kind of book

[@SoleilCeline]

Yeah I loved Fangirl and just don’t feel like reading Carry On Omg I hate Red Queen with a fiery passion, I think it’s so dumb, but most of my booktube friends loves it?? Mmm same, me and classics, just not really it

[@nidhireddyreads]

i'm so glad we agree there!!! thank you so much for watching love!

[@leoniesliberi]

I‘ve never read a horror book as it is cause horror movies already freak me tf out, but even if I did give the literary genre a try, I would not read anything by King. a book over 1000 pages about clowns? no thank you is what I say to that 😂

[@nidhireddyreads]

LMFAOOOO i feel u but sometimes i'm in for a good freak out

[@heyimsasa]

definitely recommend "the fifth season" by nk jemisin. it's the best and most memorable scifi i read in 2020 (and probably ever).

Honestly I loved The Darkest Minds but I didn't like the rest of the series. I forced myself to finish the series just because I wanted to know what happened and ended up being pretty disappointed with it in the end.

[@nidhireddyreads]

that's how i felt abt the first book! kinda glad that was the case since i never continued it :/

[@elenathegreat]

I have no interest in Call Me By Your Name either, I read a page of it and the writing style and I do not vibe

[@nidhireddyreads]

that makes me feel so much better ty 😅😅

The darkest minds movie wasn't great tbh. I was so ready to read the second book, but after i saw the movie i just like lost love for it lol

Yeah you’re not missing much, it’s very much classic 2010s YA literature Oooff yeah I’m also not interested in Stephen King, what a dousche. Stephen King fans ~stress~ me out. Mmm Lauren Oliver and Sarah Dessen are basically the same book over and over again.

[@nidhireddyreads]

RIGHT THOSE YA CONTEMPORARIES ARE SO REPETITIVE !!! LIKE WHAT IS THE POINT .

[@moneymanagement24]

What makes Stephen King a bad person? I know he was a drunk but that’s how he wrote a lot of his books. Is he bad person like JK Rowling. Please enlighten me.

[@nidhireddyreads]

he includes racist content in his works and has done problematic things in his past that i do not wish to support ever :)

[@CharlottesReads]

even if stephen king wasnt so... his fans are enough to put me off of his books
