the best reading month I've EVER had 📚🥳 *September wrap-up*

[@amandaweeraratne7854]

can we praise the fact that her skin is flawlesss

[@jjkanes]

So so happy that you loved ballad of never after! I needed other people in the same painful limbo as me between the 2nd and 3rd book 😅

[@arianaspencer3382]

The Naturals series is finally getting the love it deserves!

[@emerriley539]

I think I’ve got an unpopular opinion here but I found the storyline to Powerless SO good but the writing style was just a bit off. Keep in mind I have just been reading Sarah J Maas so I could have set the bar high.

[@prerza]

im so hyped for the last three months of 2023, i have a feeling it'll be an amazing reading trimester :P

[@caylagirl]

I’ve read the Magnolia Parks series 3 times this year. I have this internal struggle with myself every time I get the urge to read it again because I know I have sooo many other books I should be reading but this series just makes me so happy ♥️

[@Leah-cw2zc]

you NEED to read the caraval series by stephanie garber!!! its SOOOOO GOOD!!!

[@HaiJosephine]

Recently bought and want to read so bad! I'm finishing a series tho

[@bookedbycourt]

My favorite book of September was also Divine Rivals! A close second was The Seven Year Slip, which will (hopefully) be one of your favs for October!🌻📰💜

[@ronnatorregosa35]

G’day Rachel! I hope you’ll be able to read Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine and Red, White and Royal Blue next time. You would love them as much as I do. Keep safe! ❤

[@maddieschillreff2876]

the way i GASPED when yellowface showed up. I love this book it was so different from anything ive read!

[@sarabear222]

If Rachel made videos of spoiler summarizing once upon a broken heart and ballad of never after, I would loveee it because I want to read the last book coming out soon and I have no clue what happened in the first two and I don’t wanna read them again

[@nuhahisham9886]

Am 150 pages in powerless and I’ve never been this giggly and happy about a book in years!! Its my first fantasy read ever and omg i understand why everyone was obsessed with fantasy ! Am obsessed !

[@sabihaballim9242]

Say you swear is a must read for October - it made me cry in the most unexpected way and the characters 😭 they go through so much🥺... Bonus is its on your October TBR 😉✨

[@charlotteanncooke6834]

When you preorder wildfire months in advance from amazon you wait in all day for it delivered for them to say delivery was attempted but they never did… gutted so sad I couldn’t read this today.

[@ashloxx8622]

Id never encountered the name jameson before this book, and im australian and in my head i said it 'james-son'

[@Ali_lamb]

I just started yellow face and I am loving it!! It’s so messed up tho haha

[@freyaconnell843]

Oh my days I aspire to be like you

[@wiwitulips]

Looove that you had such a great reading month!! Took some notes, i think i am going to read powerless next

[@naomischultz7107]

You should read the House in the cerulean Sea by TJ Klune!

[@caitlingrace08]

September was my best reading month ever as well!!❤

[@charlottesinclair9354]

I felt the same about Yellowface! Addicting but don't know how to describe it😂 The first book I think I've read with such an unlikeable main character so it was definitely an interesting read!

[@ridashah2217]

you should read the caraval series as well!!!!

[@shaylaatiles]

do you think one can read wildfire if someone (me) DNFed icebreaker ? or do i HAVE to finish icebreaker? 😅

[@emmasanderson8822]

Have you read The One by John Mars? It was a bit out of my comfort zone but I loved it and couldn’t put it down! I would love to hear your thoughts 😄

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Hi Rachel happy Tuesday night and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter

[@emmajoanne1716]

In the uk we say cray-g and gray-am like you do and we say jay-mi-son

[@sofie.alexandr]

I clicked on this so so fast!!! The ultimate comfort KZbinr >>>> my Tuesday night is sorted!!! xxxx ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jessmartineau6603]

my copy of powerless will be here in the next couple days. I'm so excited. Although, unlike you, I can't read more than 1 book at a time and I'm only 30% through 'things we left behind' and have been so busy at work I haven't had much time to read.

[@dishaavb8708]

omggggggg adding them immediately to mr tbr

[@Tiffs-bookshelf]

I’m halfway through the naturals series and are loving them. Binding and keeping are fantastic ❤❤❤❤ I’m halfway through keeping and I’m sucked in. I absolutely love the characters, the storyline, the representation of abuse and anxiety. Divine rivals is just so sweet…. Until that cliffhanger 😢

[@gabbybly]

this top 🥰 you look gorgeous in yellow rachel!!

[@jessiec7653]

I know that the books aren’t in this episode but I really want to get into Cassandra Clare’s books. She has multiple series but I was reading and apparently there all interconnected. I don’t know where to start… HELP!? ❤ I love your channel xxx

[@adelewhittaker]

There are a lot of different ways to read the shadowhunter books and there are tons of guides online/KZbin that are helpful. Personally I recommend starting with the mortal instruments (TMI) first just because they are her earliest works and her writing improves so much as new books are released. I also think TMI is the best introduction to the complexity of the world building for new readers and so when you progress into the other series, it will be easier to understand the concepts of the world/lore. Hope this is anyway helpful ♡

[@bronte4175]

where is your top from? it’s so cute!

[@KathyDubs]

I just got Divine Rivals from the library yesterday!

[@mansoor3159]

Rachel I truly truly love to read books so so so much and I was eagerly waiting for this video you are my inspiration and I wish you have a amazing week ahead💓💫😊

[@ArielReads_]

I keep seeing Divine Rivals everywhere and your recommendation has just made me wanna read it even more!

[@madditrevethan1231]

Where’s your top from? 🥰

[@naviastorer9669]

PLEASE me if i should read assassian's blade first or third???? its had me putting off the throne of glass series forever

[@NovaFrog55]

I have not read the series but my friend who has told me to read throne of glass first because assassin’s blade has some spoilers for the first few books

[@naviastorer9669]

ok thank u SOO much@@NovaFrog55

[@hayleymai]

my fav part of the day! 🤍

[@misskikikat]

November release for the first 2 in the The Naturals series.....we can preorder them at QBD. Then we don't have a time for the next 2 as yet, but I would guess around February for those 2

[@AbigailWin]

Is Powerless closed door?

[@maariyahsacha]

im soooo happy for you on this months reads!!!

[@julia15d]

Hey rach, would U be able to please update your monthly ratings stories on your book insta. I use it when I'm book shopping ❤❤❤

[@Kittyzero13426]

Great selection of books and planning to finish the Naturals series in October. In September I read Killer Instinct, My Roommate Is A Vampire, The Ex Hex, and How to Walk Away. The only five star was Killer Instinct.

[@ACJohn2012]

I recommend the Nevernight Chronicles x

[@hashbrownreads]

What a terrific reading month for you 😁 Currently reading Divine Rivals on my kindle and am about half way right now and loving it. Forget Me Not was my fav. Book I read in September, that book was perfection to me. Loved this video ❤

[@kaarahulstrand]

The top you are wearing is soooo cute ☺️

[@Luna.Yamada]

i’m so glad you had an amazing reading month!!

[@OnniesJournal]

That's good to hear about Queen of Midnight....I wasn't crazy about it. Getting ready to read Heir of Fire.

[@shalanedupreez4916]

I had the exact experience with Jade City, it took me a while to get into it but I LOVED IT

[@WHAT-I-LOVE]

100% agree with divine rivals, I personally loved the slow parts of it. At the same time I was reading The last letter from Rebecca Yarros and both stories have the same vibes. Both also a bit of a slow burn and both main characters writing letters to each other back and forth.. those were my two favorite of the month. ❤❤❤

[@danabeyer3252]

I’m Australian too and I’ve never heard someone pronounce Jameson the way you do haha. But I figure since they also call him Jamie (jay-mie), it would be pronounced Jay-meson

[@laetitia__marie]

I NEED TO KNOW WHERE YOUR TOP IS FROM, I am so in love with it 💛💛💛

[@heathers_happily_ever_afters]

My favorite read in September was The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King by Carissa Broadbent.

[@ginnyluv4601]

im glad you enjoyed binding and keeping 13! i rated keeping 13 a five stars and then binding 13 a five stars. Also the next book is called "saving 6" and that book is in joey's pov and afoie! you'll really enjoy them. i understand that you think they are diffcult to read. i was struggling when i read keeping 13. xx ilyyyyyy 💖

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Amazing video as always Rachel!!😸

[@cammirose1097]

Fav booktuber u genuinely radiate happiness & help me get through my day

[@mackenziemarkiewicz]

If you loved Divine Rivals you have to read "Dreams Lie Beneath" also by Rebecca Ross and it's just as good!

[@jessicafellows5981]

i tried to read binding 13, i got over 200 pages in but just me who finds it so icky reading about such young characters acting and being treated like adults?

[@WillowStephens-yw1jj]

This month was a good reading month for me to! I always take your recommendations and I think next month will be a fun reading month to ❤

[@staciewhittaker608]

the only book i read this month was 'the old man and the sea' by ernest hemingway, and my word was that not fun. but hopefully october will be a better reading month !!

[@lydiavernon530]

The premise of The Naturals reminds me of the Mysterious Benedict Society

[@emilyvandeursen4939]

came on KZbin to watch some book videos because it has been a tough day… the scripture in the beginning of the video. Thank you🤍

[@Showtunediva]

7:17 One of my favorite books of this month. I really enjoyed it and the romance plot had me hooked.❤

[@aleshadlee]

So glad you read Jade City!!! The final book is in my top 5 books of this year❤

[@MakennaJustesen]

Hi Rachel!!! I Love your channel so so so much!! You are amazing! Im so excited❤

[@browniiz9250]

I heard somewhere that the first 4 chapters of A Curse For True Love (ouabh 3rd book) are out

[@Rhianne694]

That yellow shirt is so pretty on you girl

[@shinyswondrouslibrary]

yay I'm so happy you had a great reading month this September!!

[@nickielty_]

Finished the renegades series & really enjoyed. Interested to see you reaction to it, especially the epilogue of book 3! Favorite book was definitely divine rivals! Read 10 books this month which is wild for me

[@prajjwalika]

Yayyyyyy, I haven't read either of them but they're on my immediate tbr... I'm hesitating with divine rivals just bcoz the second book isn't yet out but I just want to read it so badly

[@nickielty_]

@@prajjwalika I think that is so fair!! Renegades series was just what I was needing this month for sure, hope you get around to them and enjoy!

[@prajjwalika]

@@nickielty_ oh I definitely will but should I wait for the second book to come out or just go and read DR?

[@nickielty_]

@@prajjwalika I think you should wait!! Unless you’re really dying to read it. You would want to hop straight into the next book! :)

[@prajjwalika]

@@nickielty_ ohh thank you so much...now I can wait patiently... btw will it be a duology or more books are yet to come 😭?

[@aminakurikkal1318]

Can’t wait to read powerless 🤩🤩

The naturals is on my TBR

[@ain4951]

I did not see Threads that Bind on here but just wanted to let you know that your sharing intrigued me, also because that cover IS stunning! I enjoyed my read on that book & it was a 5 STARS FOR MEEEEEE 💘💘💘💘💘

[@sunflwhrs]

Thank you so much for the warning about binding 13. I was planning on reading it, but domestic violence is a big trigger for me, so I try to avoid it in books. I’ve heard other booktubers talk about the series, but you’re the first one who pointed out the heavy topics. You always warn your viewers and I truly appreciate that. Thank you, Rachel 🩷

[@meganslibrary7092]

Rachel!!! You’re beautiful as always! And that shirt is absolutely gorgeous!🥹🫶

i’ve read the first 3 books in the naturals series in less than a month. it’s very rare that i read that fast. i’m loving. this series. ❤️

I had a similar month, I read two 5 ⭐️ in a row and now I’m current reading Vicious by VE Schwab and I really think it’ll be another one 😁📚

i just started the naturals series after watching this and i'm loving it so far thank you so much for giving me book recommendations!

divine rivals is my favorite book so far this year. the writing was so beautiful

[@sarahznn6589]

September was also my best reading month ever!! Didn’t have many 5 stars but i LOVED soo many books!! (Read like 27 books and idk how i did that but i did😭)

[@gracepower180]

I might need to read Yellowface. I’ve read Verity & currently reading Haunting Adeline and your explanation made me think of those 😅

[@froggy-fq1yb]

none of those books are very similar

[@kittster2785]

Do you not post normal (non-book related) content anymore? Most of us subscribed for your weekly vlogs, not five videos in a row about the same books literally every booktuber has read...

[@juliakoczor]

no just you dear :) we subscribed to her to watch and love all of her videos!!

[@kittster2785]

@@juliakoczor Rachel was a lifestyle vlogger for literal _years_ before she started the book content so I highly doubt all of those who subscribed from the beginning were just hanging around waiting for book content... I have no issue with the addition of book related content but when the channel seems to have completely shifted to another genre without any acknowledgement it's off-putting.

[@taryndancer29]

She still posts weekly vlogs. And welcome to life people change and develop new interests.

[@kittster2785]

@@taryndancer29 She hasn't posted a weekly vlog in two weeks and the last five videos have been about books...

[@allyjones4504]

@kittster2785 Rachel can put whatever content she wants out maybe her weekly vlogs aren’t being received as well as her book content or she hasn’t had enough content for a weekly vlog - it is also start of the month which means monthly wrap ups and tbr videos.
