Well I've added a few new books to my TBR for this year. Surprisingly I have Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell on my bookshelf already, so that's a good start. I picked it up at a charity shop last year sometime. :) I loved The Spellshop. It's a fun cozy read. Thanks for the recs!

[@kellycolby222]

So many of these books are on my TBR for this year as well. Here's hoping we get to them all!

[@sophiasthoughts]

The Spellshop was so fun and cute and yes, there's a sentient plant and he's great. Also, maybe I should reread JSMN while you're reading it for the first time 🤔

Thanks for reminding me about Sarah Beth Durst's books.

[@tibbarasden]

The Starling House is one of my priorities for the year. I am hoping to get to it in February. I hope you are able to get to all of these this year.

I loved Where the Dark Stands Still, it’s a Ghibli movie in book form, it is such a good debut and beautiful cover. I think you will love it! 😍 Evelyn Hugo and Sorceress Comes to Call are also great, I recommend them. Though I wouldn’t categorize Sorceress as “Cosy” 😅 it is kind of dark. Blood over bright haven is just chef’s kiss but I already told you in another video. I am excited to know how you like all the others, I didn’t read them and I might if you recommend them ❤

-Where the Dark Stands Still! So good! I read that late last year and quite enjoyed it. I hope you do as well! -That is a beautiful cover for Starling House ( a lot of beautiful covers in this video!). That is on my TBR as well. -I have yet to read any Taylor Jenkins Reid. I will curious to hear your thoughts on her work. Like you, I have heard very positive things about that book. -The Teller of Small Fortunes looks so cute! Hope I can get to that this year as well. Same with The Spellshop! -Also hope to get to more T Kingfisher. I really enjoyed Nettle and Bone (highly recommend!). A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking was a decent read (though more for a younger audience). -Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell! I have had that book on my TBR for eons. 2025 will be the year! Well, that's a very promising list. Thanks for sharing and happy reading. Hope you find some new favorites this year!

i remember this one time i felt completely stuck, like no matter what i did, life just wasn’t moving forward. i tried everything-manifestation journals, vision boards, all that stuff-but it felt like i was missing something. then i stumbled across this book, Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, and it hit different. it wasn’t just about manifesting; it was about understanding the energy i was putting out into the world. honestly, it changed everything. if you’re feeling stuck too, you might want to check out this book.

[@Ashleigh_Absurd]

I haven't these or heard of most of them but they sound amazing. I hope you enjoy them when you pick them up

[@ScarletClarity]

Dark Academia x Fantasy is my absolute favourite genre/subgenre ever! I would LOVE to hear some of your recommendations that fall under this theme, I'm keen to add as many to my tbr as possible! :)

[@Ritik_yadav00]

a while back, i hit a point where i felt like everything was out of my control. i kept wondering why other people seemed to get what they wanted while i was stuck in the same place. then i came across this book called Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane. i wasn’t expecting much, but the way it explains the connection between your energy and the life you create? it blew my mind. it’s not just a book, it’s like a blueprint for turning your life around.

[@fishbowlwoman]

Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell is a very different style than Piranesi, but I still enjoyed it. It's written essentially as if it were actually from the mid-1800's, so that type of writing style, spelling conventions, illustrations, etc. It gave me a lot to think about! I need to re-read it at some point--there's so much in the story I'm sure I missed some of the themes and points being made.

[@Manu-fu8cz]

i remember this one night i was scrolling aimlessly, feeling like i had hit rock bottom. it felt like nothing i wanted was ever going to happen for me. i don’t know why, but i clicked on this link about the book Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, and something about it drew me in. the more i read, the more i felt like it was written just for me. it’s wild how much a single book can change your perspective.

[@AmandasBooktopia]

I hope you love all the books! I also have Blood Over Bright Haven to read so if you ever want to Buddy read it I’d be down.

[@damormahesh1494]

i used to think manifesting was all about repeating affirmations and hoping for the best. i tried it for months and…nothing. i was so frustrated. then i heard about this book, Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, and how it breaks down the science and energy behind manifestation. it’s like it flipped a switch in my brain. once i started applying what i learned, things started falling into place like never before. worth checking out if you’re serious about manifesting.

so there was this period in my life when i kept attracting the wrong people, wrong opportunities, everything just felt…off. i couldn’t figure out why it kept happening. then one day, a friend mentioned a book called Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, saying it helped them see the patterns they didn’t even realize they had. i decided to give it a read, and wow, it opened my eyes to how much my own energy was shaping my life. seriously, this book is something else.
