My favourite quote ever

[@Aisha-ii8ei]

I would 100000% recommend the dramatised audio book!! I feel like that’s the only reason I was able to get through the series so fast.

[@mariahs8489]

Is that the first book? Now I gotta read it… I’m behind on it too.

[@leonortorres8637]

One of my favorite quotes from the ACOTAR series: “I was his and he was mine, and we were the beginning and middle and end. We were a song that had been sung from the very first ember of light in the world”.

“To the stars that listen & the dreams that are answered” I know it’s not a romance quote but it’s my favorite quote!

[@nameeman01]

There's a book called magnetic aura on Borlest, and it talks about how using some secret techniques you can attract people, it's not some bullshit law of attraction, it's the real deal

[@remytherat2175]

5:23 "he can be a murderer he just can't be a woman hater" no you're soooo right

[@joeliz9082]

ACOTAR sat on my shelf for years because I felt the same. What finally worked is I told myself "you're just gonna read the first few chapters of the first book and see how you feel after". Next thing I knew, I finished the series.

[@MamoonaK]

Steph pls make a vlog where you (try to) read the books in this video! It will be fun and motivating ! (I just selfishly really want more videos haha)

“Your human joy fascinates me-the way you experience things, in your life span, so wildly and deeply and all at once, is... entrancing. I’m drawn to it, even when I know I shouldn’t be, even when I try not to be.” - Acotar series

[@mahanoorr]

START THE CARAVAL SERIES YOU WILL NOT REGRET. That whole universe holds such a dear place in my heart. ALSO idk if you’ve read the naturals series by Jennifer Lynn Barnes but you have to. Absolutely loved it literally flew through the books.

[@CozynickyDiaries28]

Yes Caraval has a special place in my heart as well

[@bellechristina7531]

the caraval series is actually so fun and romantic, i feel like it'll surprise you!

[@millyjade06]

Steph, when I tell you that I wasn't very motivated to read the caraval trilogy, I forced myself to read it, and I absolutely fell in love. The vibes and magicalness in the book left me floored, and I couldn't stop reading.

[@jessteaguexx]

I’ve missed book vids so much, they feel like home, all ur vids feel like home to me but there’s something even more comforting when u do books vids 🩷

I have to read acotar now lol I heard such good things about it!

I tried reading it and DNF’d at 200 pages. I got so bored and couldn’t picture anything in my head. Am I crazy???

[@cleg78]

Butcher and Blackbird is bloody AMAZING, the romance and comedy is bloody brilliant. Butcher adores Blackbird and he would literally die for her. Definitely pick it up.

[@cleg78]

It is definitely worth reading Caraval series before the new trilogy, that’s the way I did it and it was just a better experience all round.

[@cleg78]

You will LOVE the ACOTAR series, once you start you won’t be able to stop

omg you HAVE to read powerful it adds so much to the story and i ended up enjoying it just as much as i enjoyed powerless!! bittersweet😭😭

[@laralopezcolangelo2609]

The caraval series is SO GOOD, I’m the number one Stan for that series and I liked it more than once upon a broken heart. If you like fantasy books about games, riddles and all of that stuff, you would love it!! Also the vibes are amazing, so pleaseeee read Caraval hahah🫶🏼

[@jasminevanhees1455]

Definitely read powerful. I just finished it and it really makes you love A so much and gives you a different outlook on her as a person

[@christinaswilcox]

Caraval, specifically book 1, is genuinely my favorite YA fantasy of all time. Please please please read it, I promise you that you won't regret it! If you like Wonderland by Taylor Swift (which I'm sure you do) you'll love it!!!

[@Olivia-qs5no]

the way I SCREAMED when you pulled out acotar!!!! I promise whenever you pick it up will be the perfect time, these books ALWAYS hit hard!! I know it’s intimidating but PLEASE read it, this series has fueled my will to live ever since I have read it

[@aakanshagupta545]

as someone who just read the caraval series just to get to once upon a broken heart . i have to say its worth the wait... the buildup was what made the once upon a broken heart trilogy so much more meaningful

READ THE CARAVAL AND OUABH SERIES RN GIRL ISTG ITS SO WORTH EVERY SECOND OF IT!!!!! (my personal favourites are legendary from the caraval trilogy and the ballad of never after (you will sob so hard uncontrollably trust me) from the ouabh trilogy)

[@taylormorgan23]

I am so jealous you have an arc of daydream! I can’t wait for Henry’s book. Also, YOU HAVE TO read powerful it was very sad of course, but so good and you get introduced to someone new! I love the powerless series! And so real Kai is book husband lol!

I agree! Just finished TOG and I will never be the same 🥲❤️‍🔥🗡

Which book would you guys read first of TOG? I wanna start but I am so confused 🥲🤍

[@poppycalliope]

@@jasmmmxn5335 I read Throne of Glass first and The Assassin's Blade third and really enjoyed this order. It had an emotional impact on me 🥲 Crown of midnight does end with a cliffhanger, be aware of that 🙈I also recommend that you do the tandem read for empire of storms and tower of dawn! It might seem daunting but it feels like one big book where you follow all the characters at the same time!

Honestly, the first half of Ashes and the Star Cursed King is slow, but once you get past that mark so much happens and it makes it worth it. I absolutely loved it once it picked up and read the second half of the book in a day after struggling to read the book for a month. I hope you read it and love it as much as I did 💜

Where Time Stands Still is one of my favorite books ever!!! I hope you love it!!!

[@nanaaamorr]

omg definitely read powerful it was such a cute novela! its literally grumpy x sunshine and it happens during the plot of powerless. its forced proximity and also them falling in love was so well paced and felt so natural i love them sm literally gave it 5 stars ❤❤ but yea the ending is for sure gonna break you 😭

[@marleedora]

I can't stress this enough... steph pls read the six of crows duology!! you don't even have to read shadow and bone (I didn't lol) but it's literally sooo good!

i love the nostalgic feeling i get from these videos because they remind me of your first book videos 😭😭😭

STEPH im literally reading the caraval series right now beacuse i also wanted to read once upon a broken heart series BUT LET ME TELL YOU i actually love the caraval series its a whole rollercoster ride, it makes you feel so many emotions and makes you rethink evertything the whole time u read it. Im currently finishing the last book finale and i cant wait to finally start reading the next series but honestly i enjoyed caraval alot too and i think you would love it, you just have to push through a little on the first book for the first few chapters but it gets better. The series has everything romance, tension, suspense, magic, adventure, and plot twists. I hope this motivates you to read them.❤

[@JuliaSelvera]

I have been watching your video for years and you're the reason I got into reading. If it wasn't for you I would never have found my love for reading so thank you. You're one of the reasons I started the Magnolia Parks series and it has become one of my favorite series of all time. I read Into the Dark when it first came out and it broke my heart especially since Julian is my favorite character. The book was totally worth it and I can't wait to see your opinions on it but be prepared to cry.

[@yourgirl_miriam]

Powerful is the most beautiful love story in the entire world. Adena truly becomes a live character and you get to understand her and connect with her and also you have to read it because a new character is introduced and im guessing they will be in Fearless

[@wilqra]

love unwritten is one of the best books i've read this year and yes its long but i didn't feel like it was dragged out so you should def read it!!

[@juliagillis]

love unwritten was so good! i dont even know what it was but even though it was so long i wanted it to be longer lol. it's single dad/nanny small town and the mmc is extremely book boyfriend

Ok you convinced me

[@jenlovestoread]

with every fantasy series ever the first 50 or so pages are just a load of worldbuilding so completely normal that you didn't get into caraval right away, but girl that series is just SOOOOO GOOOODDD!!!! you're going to fall in love with the dragna sisters and their love interests and the world and everything about it trust meeeee

Into the Dark is my favorite read of the year so far - OBSESSED 😭

[@vviitaa]

I started Caraval recently and honestly I also started it just to read the Once Upon A Broken Heart series but omg I got so obsessed I read the first book in like 2 days which is like really rare for me !! I think you would like it, the guy in this is amazing like I'm in love with him. Also the audiobook is really good, I started with the audiobook to kinda get into it and I think it worked ! I'm only on book 2 but it's getting better istg.

[@nadialuvsbeingagirl]

omg my fav trilogy ever is ouabh!! I can’t wait for you to read it. honestly it took me fifty pages to get into it and then i got used to the world and what not but I truly adore Evangeline she’s literally me in different font or in a book world also I love how she’s not some sort of warrior or wtv she’s literally just a girl and she’s a hopeless romantic just like us!! and the art on the covers?? SO gorgeous and I always go back to a specific chapter in tbona iykyk it’s my favorite book in the trilogy and I think you’ll love it

[@cameliaali-chaouch2632]

Honestly, when I first wanted to start the caraval series I thought too that I had to push through the first three books because everyone was saying that. But when I started Caraval I immediately fell in love. I read fantasy romances ALL THE TIME so it's not like I am not used to fantasy and I can tell you that this is very good and you probably won't have to force yourself to read Caraval, Legendary and Finale because it is truly awesome. I don't get why some people say that it is not that good when it's actually amazing.

[@joleneelise3662]

Reading Caraval first is WORTH IT! Especially if you want a little backstory on Jacks and to understand the references made in OUABH. Caraval starts a little slow but the last two are go go go.

[@yourbestiezaria]

The Caraval Series is so good! I feel like everyone makes it out to be something you have to mope through to the get to the Once A Upon A Broken Heart Series. But I think it’s just as good! Definitely a fall\winter read! Hope you enjoy it! ps. read powerful

[@cassidyxlj]

my jaw fell to the floor whenever you pulled acotar out. Ik it has a lot of hype but its for a VERY good reason. I finished the series 8 months ago and still think about it everday. the first book is boring until the last 100 pages, but I promise its so worth it!!
