Could you please do a video where your hubby chooses your TBR🥰

[@Bookalicious1717]

That would be so fun! He did do that once I think, and it was great. ❤ also, this is super random but I recently started a Booktube and would love it if you checked it out 😊

What’s tbr?

I got rid of all my social media last April. Best decision I’m made in a long time!! I know influencers can’t get fully rid of their social media, but taking breaks is a must!🥰

[@Beautifully_Whitney]

Wow. I am inspired!!! ❤❤❤

[@AngelikaCooper]

@@Beautifully_Whitney I’m glad!! I’ve stuck with the decision and it feels amazing in so many ways!!❤️

[@Beautifully_Whitney]

@@AngelikaCooper I should do this too. I think it would help a lot.

[@AngelikaCooper]

@@Beautifully_Whitney I highly encourage you so just go for it and delete everything. Anyone truly important should have your number and if they care, they will keep in touch.❤️ I learned a lot from deleting social media

[@wendii_2618]

This was honestly like a wake up call for me last week my screen time was 79 hours….FOR A WHOLE WEEK 20 hours being for tiktok that’s actually insane 😭

[@addireadit]

Omg Caraval is one of my favorite series ever, I’ve only read the first book in the OIABH series but I’m already in love. The best book by far is Finale, the ending❤❤ and Legend is my favorite ever!

[@Beautifully_Whitney]

Agreed ❤❤❤

[@caffeinatedreader_]

Juniper Hill is my favorite in the Edens and it’s the next one in the series! 💚🎀

[@skyethorne4568]

this video was perfect timing bc I randomly decided to binge read the addicted series and the last book I finished was kiss the sky!! i know a lot of people don't like the first few books but I LOVED them and lilo are definitely my favourite ship. they have soulmate energy and they already mean so much to me 💗

[@throwabone9005]

I’m so so happy you loved kiss the sky and continued the series cause hothouse flower is my fav book of all time i can’t wait for you to read it!!!

[@briannavillalobos8217]

Alexa I was also on a reading slump!! I'm currently reading If He Had Been With Me and omg got me right out of this reading slump! Now I need to go to Barnes and get the Calloway Series because it sounds so good!

[@emmaskapetis7603]

I'm so happy you enjoyed Kiss the sky. Rose and Connor are my favourite addicted/Calloway sisters couple and this was one of my favorite books in the whole series. Now that you mention I do see how it is similar to Magnolia Parks (though I read this first).

[@AbbyM-kx3es]

I love this videos

[@sanjanashenoy]

So underrated❤ love the editing❤

[@amandabrown4575]

Yahhhh I love watching your videos. Makes me excited. Hopefully this will deff get you out of your slump. I hate when I get in a slump. I also don't feel good when I don't read as much.

[@lucindaellis2925]

I'm suffering through chestnut springs. Not enjoying it. But i read the entire Edens series and I loved it

[@Bookalicious1717]

Loved this video so much! Alexa, you should do a video where you only read adult fantasy for a week, and then YA fantasy the next week and see which books you preferred ❤

[@sydneyyyxxoo]

kiss the sky is one of my favorite books of ALL TIME 🥹

[@luvmiyax]

I was just watching your old vlogs!

[@haileyfussell]

Legendary is a five star for me I absolutely adore that book

[@writtenwithleah]

i love your channel 🤍

[@caylagirl]

This video has come out at the most perfect time for me! I was also last week was just feeling overall slumpy in reading and life… just looked at my phone usage for last week… 43 hours, NO 😭 I haven’t started the addicted series yet and I was thinking do I start it to get out of this slump but I’m worried I won’t give it my full attention if I do that

[@bat-elmiller4285]

Indigo Ridge was my book club pick :)

[@ashleykramer7612]

You should have your cat choose your next TBR. That would be adorable

[@emanali1005]

Ily cutieeee the best person ever ❤❤❤❤

[@greysbookclub601]

Hope you’re doing okay lovely’s 🤍🤍 love you

[@eustaquiozambrano2974]

Nice job. Have a nice day.❤

[@beautifulmama862]

Omg I love this video ❤ one week I spent 94 hours others 55 hours lol I have to watch my KZbin favorites 😂 I had a 4 month slump and only read 5 books so far in 2024 and I don't know what to read next lol anyways thank you for another great video

[@gitas2493]

If you like Chestnut Springs, you should try the Wilder Adventures series by Serena Bell! I just read A Little Wilder and it gives off the same energy as Reckless. I LOVED it 🩷

[@myad.5618]

6:09 indigo ridge is actually a mystery with a subplot of romance!

[@chunijahwhite]

I LOVE RAISY BUT HONESTLY I CANT choose between them

Which are your favorite highlighting pens! I wanna get into annotating! 😍😍💗

[@soniaisabel02]

My favorite couple from Addicted Calloway series is 100% Ryke and Daisy!!🥹😍🩷

[@turningpageswtori]

It's actually crazy, like I know I have been on my phone ALOT recently (also mental health hasn't been the best either) and I just checked my screen time...I'M DISGUSTED 😭 Anyways, this inspired me and made me realize that I seriously need to get off my phone!

[@alexaraye]

You’re not alone!! It’s crazy how much time we spend on our phones - I never realize it until I notice I’m not feeling well mentally & then I check my screen time & I’m SHOOK 🥲 but I’m happy this inspired you to maybe pick up reading instead of your phone!! 🥹🩷

[@turningpageswtori]

@@alexaraye yes! My current read is Bad Blood by Jennifer Lynn Barnes! ❤️🫶🏻

[@newts.8634]

Your screen time doesnt sound that bad at all! Im at an average of 10 hours a day 😅

[@newts.8634]

64 hours in a week 😭😭😭

[@polutrj_]

50 hours in a week 🤯

[@Maggie212]

I’m trying to do this but I have a 7hr a day average, so i feel you 😭

[@whitcrz]

Hey! Where did you get those overalls that you're wearing in the thumbnail. They look so cute!

[@Ava_925]

Definitely Daisy and Ryke

[@mariacastellanos5033]

I would to see more 24 hours reading

[@JulEnglefaris]

I have a high screen time for sure BUT I also dont count youtube, cuz i'm 100% watching booktube videos and I feel like that is enriching lol

[@TaylorJ]

Every time I’ve heard you say that the Eden’s has been compared to chestnut springs… I think, how?! I don’t see it at all 😅 I do like the Eden’s series a lot, I finished it! Some books definitely way better than others but I wouldn’t say they are anything alike!

[@Melgra87]

Do you have to read the addicted series to read Calloway sisters ?

[@abbywalters7236]

Wow you’re a fast reader

[@juliayam6023]

Where are your glasses from? So cute 9:39
