i am so ready for booktube gracie to emerge

[@theprayingdoula9604]

My thoughts exactly !

[@BreezyRenee333]

Definitely read TOG after ACOTAR, but I will never agree about The Assassin's Blade being placed anywhere but first 😭😭. Especially with how big of a character Sam is.

[@BreezyRenee333]

Gracie, if you get the chance... the graphic audios for ACOTAR are a MUST.

[@theprayingdoula9604]

Welcome to Maas World ! Love Queen Maas ! Kingdom of Ash and Queen of Shadows are my fav !

[@user-yf3ch5gv7q]

Queen of Shadows is EVERYTHING! Hang in there!!!

[@madison83527]

I’ve always been a reader, but in the last year I have really started reading a ton! I’ve been loving book channels and reading vlogs, so this video is perfect. I would love to see more reading videos like this one!!

[@kwoot07]

I am right there with you! It’s so exciting to see a lifestyle vlogger also jump onto the reading videos train!

[@GracieOConnor]

wait YAY because I love to make these videos

[@katiekota9252]

Yes yes more videos like these!! I always get stumped on what to read next. Gonna buy court of thrones and roses for my next book

[@GracieOConnor]

PLEASE do! & let me know how you like it!

[@graceberton5498]

A must read is The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto! I love it so much and it’s my favorite book by far!!

[@bevmartin2275]

I did ACOTAR, then assassins blade then all the throne of glass followed by the crescent city series

[@GracieOConnor]

This is my plan as well!

[@KathyDubs]

I just started The Measure last night! I'm like 50 pages in but really liking it so far. I'm also low key collecting the ACOTAR books slowly to read this year so I'm optimistic about the series!

[@katieholden4467]

For romance, I love Abby Jimenez! Also recommend The Only One Left by Riley Sagar if you’re into thrillers!

[@GracieOConnor]

Abby Jimenez is a fave of mine!

[@amyclark1705]

Yay to book videos! My favorite recent read was Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmas.

[@GracieOConnor]

Yay!! my mom just read that one for her book club and said it was good! Did you like it?

[@amyclark1705]

@@GracieOConnor Loved it! The strong female protagonist is so interesting and multi-faceted! Apple TV+ also just made it into a series which was also good but definitely read the book first.

[@sophiamaggs3545]

The Magnolia Parks series!!! Kenzie Elizabeth interviewed her on her pod (House Guest). I’m obsesseddddd

[@alexismcneely2384]

I love this!! Please do more reading content!!❤

[@xokelseyxo9238]

Gracie, your pure joy and positivity about anything and everything is legit so contagious and inspiring. I adore your soul and heart so very much. You are a beautiful gift to this world! ❤ Thank you for this video. I am a big fan of reading. I usually love biographies and psychological thrillers. Right now, I am reading Water For Elephants because I am dying to see the show on Broadway. I only saw the movie when it first came out and never read the book.

[@GracieOConnor]

My mom just recommended that book to me!

[@AshleyJade18]

I've been back in my reading era for a few years now... I LOVE my romance, YA and thrillers.. I know that i wouldn't be fan of fantasy, i have never enjoyed fantasy movies either 🤷‍♀ (Probably because i have zero imagination 🤭)... I am currently reading Daisy Haites. (I am definitely more of a Magnolia fan so far though) 💖

[@ashleymulford1072]

i just added you on good reads. i saw you have first lie wins on your want read and omg i just finished it yesterday. and it was SOOOO freaking good!!!

[@sarahfrench7477]

Heir of fire and on is what really really sucked me into TOG. Queen of shadows and Empire of Storms and then kingdom of ash- just amazing!! It’s my favorite series out of all 3 :)

[@GracieOConnor]

Heir of Fire has got me GOING

[@sarahfrench7477]

Yay! We’re going to need a February reads video!!

[@jmh7853]

Emily Giffin, love all of her books.

[@Lululovesbtrand1d]

I love all of Ali Hazelwood's books! She had a new fantasyesque book come out today called Bride and another stem romance book coming out in June!

[@donnapanzardo3058]

It just came out I did the arc before it came out. Kristen Hannah The Women. All her books I’ve read are good. I’ve read 18 books in January. My goal for year is 200 books. I did 201 last year. I sent you a friend request on goodreads.

Welcome to the SJM “cult” hahaha if you like theorizing just wait 🤯

[@GracieOConnor]

oh boy!

[@Oddiiieee]

I thought you were a kindle girly 😅💀

[@GracieOConnor]

Bought some of these in book form for this video because I think having the actual books is so satisfying!! I'm between Kindle and physical copy.. when I travel, Kindle all the way. But something about being home and holding a real book is soothing to me. So I am 50/50 right now!
