[@bostongabriellex]

You: we’ve had worse Me: *vivid soapgate flashbacks*

[@becklebooks]

The clip insert of 'big boobs' has me DYING, omfg. HAHAHAHA! I clicked this video so fast when I saw you were holding Godsgrave and YAS, five stars!!! I gave all the books in the trilogy 5 stars but... Godsgrave was my fave of them all. Enjoy Darkdawn! :D

[@nikki7361]

I recently re-watched your "Journaling for beginners:journal collection" or something from 2015, and i felt so nostalgiiiiccc...i wish you'd make journal videos again?

[@Phobbie19]

I was literally about to comment this. Yas x

[@raxmaab]

She said she feels like journalling is chore now thats why she stopped. but yes i miss them too

[@_laylafernanda]

ok why am I always so happy when you upload a new vlog? GOING TO WATCH EVERYTHING IMMEDIATELY

[@aabatteryful]

I've been hearing about this new sarah j maas book for months at this point and i still can't wrap my head around the fact that the book ISNT called crescent city lmaooo Also tangent, do you mind doing a segment in the next vlog about your makeup? The orangey-red eyeshadow is a LOOK and i can't do makeup to save my life 😭😭

[@Crochetcoffin]

In short Whitney’s review for house of earth and blood “puking in my mouth is better than this book” 😂😂 I definitely am not here for it either because I hate when the modernize my fantasy and I am an AVID fantasy reader

[@Pajali]

Amanda Yup, for me, it needs to be pre-modern or post-apocalyptic (like Kate Daniels or The Sixth World). Except for Harry Potter, because that’s somehow always the exception. 😂

[@kabreems07]

Laughed way too hard at the “big boobs” part!

[@amberkelsey2455]

but sjm does win a point for not using the term “velvet wrapped steel” once in an 800 page book

[@estantedaisa]

I'm from Brazil and in my city we have a chain restaurant called Croasonho (croa for croissant and sonho means dream in portuguese) and they have all the types of sandwiches you can imagine made with croissant so I guess this means you have to come to Brazil asap btw cheese bread sandwiches are *chef's kiss*

[@leticia4893]

BRs que assistem a whitty = já amo kkkkk

[@StoriesForCoffee]

Forever obsessed with your vlogs! I feel like I’m sitting in your living room, hearing you talk about your current reads, and it’s such a nice escape to fall into 🥰

[@Martusia26]

jay released a special bonus (read smutty) chapter for Darkdawn (to be read after chapter 35??? i want to say). Not sure whether you can still get it but if you can't let me know and I can send it to you. You will want this chapter ;-)

[@lavender.stardust]

I’ve seen this video so many times and I just now realized the romances with brothers was about shatter me lmao

[@vlrdpplvr478]

whitney do you have any idea what an ICON you are? so hilarious and charismatic UGH you make me so happy.😩😂❤️ just saying what needs to be said.

[@lorie15]

those glasses and that green top!!!! adorable !!!!

[@oliviareadsalatte]

this video made me so happy and also contemplate reading the shatter me series for some reason...

[@MinaReads]

i felt the same about the sex scene in The Worst Best Man, actually just in general the dialogue was so cheesy to me and i didnt connect to the characters either so thank you for validating me omg

[@silllllllver]

watching this and hearing you describe pao de queijo (brazilian cheese bread) as i was coincidentally shoveling some in my face was an experience

[@deborah7079]

lmaooo the relish moment and "big boobs" killed me😂😂😂 I love hearing your thoughts on what you read!

[@cryingaboutbooks]

the glasses are SO CUTE 💕💕

[@tristan3976]

the glasses look so good on you !!!!

[@sharonforbes162]

Those glasses are cute on you!!! Both of those books that you got in the mail I already have, I've been buying the crap outta books since this pandemic started and I really don't feel very bad!!! I recieved today my BIG (as in expensive $$$) purchase, a personally hand signed copy of The House of Kennedy by James Patterson! I'm a Kennedy family geek/nerd and James Patterson is like the perfect modern author to write a book about them! I will NOT loan out this book, nope, it stays here with me!! Celery is a flavor enhancer in any savory dish practically, my hubby hates raw celery, but he knows ya gotta add it in soups, casseroles, etc, or otherwise your dish is bland, missing something...😊

[@jenniferhagler1606]

I can’t express how many times I laughed out loud while watching this! Yes to weekly reading vlogs, we’re here for them! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@tammyjeanknows96]

The yellow flowery shirt has the unhoneymooners vibe!

[@WhittyNovels]

it does haha!!

[@allisonchristie3734]

Bored in the house, in the house bored. I read the Sarah J Mass book too.

[@abi_rose]

8:03 “it’s like what aaron warner’s closet would smell like” me, having never read any of the books: 👀👀👀 is this tea?

[@anne-marie339]

I'm amazed you're able to wear shorts!!! I know Texas is so much warmer, but it legit snowed several times this month here in Canada where I live :(

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I just finished Nevernight and I NEED to read godsgrave asap 😭

[@ellengleason8761]

Thank you for these vlogs, I just moved out on my own in a new state far away from friends and family, and these help me not feel as lonely.

[@WhittyNovels]

you got this!!

[@booksnotlovers]

I haven't even finished the video but I need to tell you how GOOD you look in the purple shorts and the grey t-shirt tucked in.

[@NoaJasmine]

whoops i was abouta add worst best man to my tbr lol BUT i had no idea abby jimenez had another book out!!! HOPPIN' ON DA SHIT ASAP

[@readingwithgabs1554]

I don’t think your “Australian” accent was even an accent. I love you so much 😂❤️

[@trina7012]

"You look cute bitch shut up" xD

[@haemelle]

I think the light colored frames looks really good on you! The envy I had when I was younger for glasses wearers got me good cause now I'm a permanent member of the four eyes club ✊🏼😔

[@girlbossbooks4957]

These vlogs make me so happy every time!

[@gabriellewhite9607]

I like the blue light glasses I think they look good :)

[@meganvr1228]

The only book I've read recently is Unravel Me and I got through it in a day, which I wasn't expecting, since my attention span has been lacking these days~ I wish I was reading more books and less fan fiction! D:

[@willalvarado1651]

Great Video Whitney!!!!

[@Readingwithabawse]

800 pages is a lot!! ✨Aww I’m sorry you didn’t end up enjoying crescent city as much!!✨I can’t wait to get mine soon!✨

[@jeanab6953]

Your videos are so refreshing so thank you and your pink top and floral skirt looks beautiful on you

[@natyreadsbooks2484]

Celery is really good with hummus.

[@krysta6279]

OMG I am loving the bookends!!

[@Elaye2000]

hermione, a halfblood

[@pandaaaaa4]

22:20 You look stunning, like legit you look so beautiful. Your hair, that pink shirt and your eye makeup so on point 😍❤

[@lozziehumphreys]

Love your vlogs! Beacon Book Box was set up by a teenage boy and his family. They all seem super lovely and always put so much thought into the boxes 😊 I'm from the UK so don't get the box but have heard such good things.

[@alinafaye02]

Read Nevernight and loved it, but hadn't continued on...but now I absolutely have to 😊

[@clarajohansson3091]

I also loooved The Friend Zone and I just got my pre-order of the new book!

[@ellieschwartz8431]

this was just a causal vlog so why do i feel like it’s one of my favorite vlogs ever🤣 also i love your green shirt at 28 minutes

[@1hayleykat]

You deserve each other is so good! Enjoy!

[@SimplySaraReads]

Your vlogs always have me laughing my ass off. Which I definitely need. So thank you.

[@redd7293]

Aww, I'm happy you were recognized at work!!. Oh, and the glasses look great! I need to get me a pair of prescription ones.

[@alisha1341]

Idk if anyone said this but the glasses do look good!

[@JhonnyScipioni]

In the second book of SJM, I predict that the main love interest will change dramatically and be the anti hero... and in the second book, everyone will be IN LOVE with the heroine.

[@wonder775]

you look so cute in those glasses!!!

[@oliviagreen8853]

Miss ya girl! Hope you're doing good 💕

[@minami61]

Ok first of all, I love you glasses! They look so cute on you. And second how was the presentation, you didnt update us on that!

[@WhittyNovels]

thank you! the presentation went okay; i relistened to it and realized i said "um" a lot. but this week I did the same presentation to a new group and it went so much better so I just need to practice more and I'm good :)

[@PeytonReads]

Your glasses are so adorable!

[@sumayyah5015]

Idk what to say. Your funny, cute lift up my mood like pls keep making reading vlogs like you suggested I love uuuu ♥️♥️✨✨

[@thomaslagloire8810]

THESE VLOGS MAKE ME SO HAPPY I LOVE THEM

[@sofiah2754]

I love your vlogs! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the ending of Darkdawn.

[@DanniDarling]

I read happily ever after playlist like 2 weeks ago and good god Whitney it’s glorious srsly text me about your feels

[@l1f3inplastic]

You actually made me want to pick up House of Earth and Blood. Like I get it why you didn’t like it, but I may actually enjoy it

[@WhittyNovels]

yeah there's definitely an audience that'll like it but i read it just because sarah is popular without any real interest in the genre, so it wasn't my jam.

[@l1f3inplastic]

WhittyNovels really love how respectful you are towards other opinions and that you don’t spoil a book and let somebody else have their own point of view💕

[@YaoiMyLovexD]

You look amazing in those glasses, please wear them more, you’re just so cute~

[@avsambart]

The glasses look really good on you!!

[@saltimbanquette1680]

add some nutella to that croissandwich and prepare for greatness

[@tronishariggle9558]

You going through those coasters made my day :) lol

[@gennareads_3333]

When you said I love when girls break up with a boy and then date his brother I literally could only think of vampire diaries 😂 I’m rewatching and it’s all I can think of. But I love your vlogs they keep me so motivated ❤️

[@WhittyNovels]

i haven't seen it but according to that description, i'd probably be trash for it lol

[@gennareads_3333]

WhittyNovels girl oh my god you’d probably love it. Some characters are hella annoying but it’s worth it for Damon Salvatore alone. Ian Somerhalder makes it all worth it 😂

[@jillray951]

Celery with cream cheese in it!!! Try it!!!

[@jenabird09]

Just got to say that I really like this vlog video. It was really funny. I literally was laughing out loud at parts.

[@teresafoo]

Whitney you look so cute in pink!! Also I feel like I tried to read nevernight but the writing was really flowery/inaccessible? Did you have this experience too?

[@Kc1304_]

my only experience with dystopian books are the hunger games series and divergent series which i loved when i read them in middle school and like early highschool but beyond that i don’t know what i’m doing or where to start so someone please give me book recommendations for dystopian please and thank you! also side note: whitney can you make a facebook group for us to all join and talk about book things?

[@annajo6576]

so I know you used tangled as the “really really bad” edit but OH MY GOD WHAT A MISSED OPPORTUNITY TO USE SHREK!

[@cassieroach1359]

"Plagued with good eye sight" haha😅😅 I relate so hard. I used to make my mom take me to the eye clinic every year and I'd fake a bad test to get glasses...I never got any 🥺

[@makingmewoozi]

I just got some horrible news and was about to have a panic attack.. then I got the angelic notification that you'd uploaded 🥺 thankyou so much Whitney

[@mpsensha]

I'm just pausing the video to get some ice cream, keep on watching and then you come up with the croissantwich.... 🥺

[@Diana-hb6fy]

What book recommendations can you give for the dating a brother plot? Also the Burger King may come for you and your croissanwich. Hehehe

[@nikki7361]

Now I wanna taste your croissanwich 😭😋😂

[@Amanda-lh5zt]

Damn called out 5 seconds in. My hair is always a center part and low bun 😂😂😂

[@nikki7361]

Also, I started Nevernight on e-book, but couldn't ~vibe~ with it, so I'm gonna wait to get it physically :>

[@billie864]

i ordered Cresent City and the more i hear the more i hate this book. i feel like i’m in a loop of throne of glass retellings with her books and i hate that. i need something new. i feel like i’m going to be so bored. really hope it’ll redeem itself at the end though.

[@Justluffyyy]

are there love triangles/ cheating in the throne of glass series?

[@billie864]

Luffy nope!!

[@Justluffyyy]

@@billie864 thanks for the fast reply! I have the first book at home and now I'm not relucant anymore to start the series😍

[@billie864]

Luffy i liked the series a lot! the end wrapped up pretty well, they’re just big page counts! i however was glad the last book was the last because i don’t think i could have went on for anymore books because i felt like it would have drug on!

[@justaylin5139]

I love you Whitney!!!!!!! 🥰

[@gabriellewhite9607]

I love your vlogs so much 🤗❤️

[@bostongabriellex]

Yessss give me that sweet sweet serotonin rush

[@emqueenofmemes2514]

I’m literally in love with u thank u for this video No those glasses look cute on you shush!

[@saavedra012]

the skskskskskksk was so unexpected I laughed so hard I think I peed a little

[@Heynowwtf7413]

DID U JUST SAY HERMIONE IS A HALF BLOOD ndjdjxndjd im crying (happy tears)

[@m.ariliv]

briefly interrupting this vlog-watching to say WDYM YOU WISH YOU HAD GLASSES?! I'll trade my eyesight for yours any day. (Much love tho xxx)

[@ArielAntenna]

I’m disappointed to hear you didnt love House of Earth and Blood, I gave it 5 stars! It’s funny because I went into that book thinking it wasn’t going to be good but i ended up loving it! I thought it had a good mystery plot (my biggest issue with the ACOTAR series was lack of interesting plot) and I loved the characters and how much depth they had. I felt like the book was the perfect length because if it was any shorter it wouldn’t have been as fleshed out and would’ve felt rushed. Most of my issues i’ve had with her previous series didn’t seem to pop up in this book so i was pleasantly surprised.

[@brooklyno5697]

my tuesday night just got so much better with this vlog upload HIIIII

[@colleenhanson3284]

Sitting here eating my breakfast and my husband starts giggling like a 12 year old at the mention of blue balls 😂

[@smoakqueen1002]

watching this while fasting was a bad idea.....I want a croissandwich

[@steffikreis2030]

i am so trying the croissantwhich 😂😂

[@novelsandlattes]

I work at HEB bakery and I SWEAR it looks like our large croissants lol

[@WhittyNovels]

omg i've never been to an HEB but i want to so bad

[@novelsandlattes]

@@WhittyNovels I work the Artisan Breads and I've done it in 3 HEB's so far in my 7 years with the company. Please visit the one in your area. *hearts* *love*

[@bee6450]

I'm jumped at the Ashniko song bit, no one I know knows who she is!!

[@WhittyNovels]

i'm literally listening to her on shuffle right now!!! i'm obsessed

[@bee6450]

If you like her, check out GIRLI, she's similar and equally as awesome

[@oniyaharrison6985]

The glasses are hella cute😊

[@shayreader8140]

I thought the world was weird too in Crescent City. Who's going to go shower in a modern bathtub when the world is ending? Are you going to read the next book when it comes out? Haha. You're the queen of Shatter Me! Of course you'd find the only Imagine Me box😂 Haha. That unboxing made me laugh so much.

[@susanmorris5520]

Hello Whitney. I have loved watching your vlogs or other videos for at least two yrs and I still love you. Though, I’m not a book reader like I used to I still like to watch you. I also have loved your Vlogmas too. I also am a cat person even though I lost both of them within the last three yrs. your kitty is beautiful. What happen to the mommy cat and her kittens you had? Just curious. God bless and hugs to you always. I do also love your place too. Sue(Clearwater, Florida)❤️😘👍🏻👼😺💕🌼🌸🌷🌴🙏🏻❌⭕️❌⭕️

[@quirkyblackenby]

Omg I have that Christmas sloth shirt too!

[@erinmariecece]

SJM really popped off with ACOMAF and everything else after that is not doing it for me. We really had it good back in 2016. RIP.

[@olaabosharb8831]

I love your vlogs ☹
