I agree so much with “changing your rating over time” cause there are books I have given 5 stars where I almost forgot they even existed and wouldn’t reread it…

[@brittahasnofilter]

YEAH! like I thought I loved this so much but I couldn’t be forced to reread it now

[@ImElliePaige]

I’m definitely on the wrong side of book tube. Realized that as soon as verity and November 9 was placed at the top and heartstopper was put in won’t read.

[@hailpsyche]

right like let me leave

[@captainicecookie1665]

there's no wrong side of booktube, ur making it sound like only ur taste in books is better than sara's

[@ImElliePaige]

@@captainicecookie1665 on the wrong side as in the side I don’t usually agree with. I never said either side was invalid.

[@BRUH-zh2rx]

I don't get the whole craze behind Verity. It's good but it had so much more potential to be better. Probably mid at best. The twist isn't reallly good. You can find better twists in Freida Mcfaddens Books. The Housemaid was very similar to it but was 10 times better

the midnight library changed my life, it shows you how to appreciate life and makes you realize that you have to make the best out of everything, so good and not hard to get through!

[@lmn0005]

what is a good age rating for this book?

[@abbynelson3292]

@@lmn0005 the whole book is basically about TW ⚠️⚠️her killing herself, ( that’s not a spoiler btw ) I would say there really is nothing else bad in the book, she is searching for the life she wants in the midnight library, so if you can handle her overdosing then you could read the book. It’s really really good. 🤗

[@justinn9342]

loved that book

[@unholyvenom]

it really reminded me of an alan watts quote! (might make some mistakes here) “let’s suppose every night you were able to dream any dream you wanted to dream and that you could for example have the power within one night to dream 75 years of time. and as you began on this adventure of dreams you would fulfil all your wishes, you would have every kind of pleasure that you could conceive, and naturally you would make further and further out-gambles as to what you would dream and finally you would dream of where you are now, and that would be within the infinite multiplicity of choices you would have of playing that you weren’t god”. i really enjoyed it too, i think it was fantastically written and had the elements of philosophy and existentialism, as well as offering hope and optimism despite the atmosphere of suffering and melancholy

[@maddiet8495]

I'm reading The Midnight Library and contrary to others, I'm really enjoying it! I think it just depends on what you like.

yessss

[@raelynmarie16]

If you didn’t like From Lukov with Love, I don’t see you liking Kulti. I’ve read 5 of MZ’s books and even though they’re all slow burn, I feel like Kulti is the slowest that I’ve read personally.

[@SaraCarrolli]

ok thank u sm. i don’t think i can do it 😭

[@kelseym8150]

sara you NEED to read where the crawdads sing! the synopsis does not do the story justice trust me, it's not your usual romance and it takes a few chapters to get into but it's literally my favourite book ever

[@elizabethst.andrews3717]

Whattt!! Am I the only one who absolutely LOVED They Both Die at the End?? This was such a well written book in my opinion

[@elisaschiavon2589]

Bunny is AMAZING, one of the best book I've read recently! I guess it could be described as a dark academia thriller but I actually have never read anything quite like it! the plot twist at the end was completely unexpected, the whole book itself was so intriguing! if you feel like you could appreciate the genre then I would more than definitely recommend!

[@illicitveniceb]

bunny is probably one of the best books i’ve ever read. absolutely amazing mix of light and dark academia. highly recommend.

[@aboney9806]

Where the crawdads sing is so good!!! You should definitely read it!

[@oceanwave3073]

The inheritance games is literally one of my favorite books you definitely need to read it it’s got mystery and a little bit of romance

[@LK-sv7ty]

My dark Vanessa was amazing!!! Yes it was kinda uncomfortable to read at times but it was written so well so educational but definitely a hard read so I get why some people don’t want to read it.

I thought I was gonna completely hate Daisy Jones and I put off reading it for sooo long but it was one of my favorites!! Try it out

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

I just finished that one .. loved it!

[@BlueberryCheesecake8]

I hated it so much haha TJR is one of my favorite authors so I can't believe the worst book I've read this year is hers :(

[@lex3025]

@@BlueberryCheesecake8 dang why did u hate it

[@BlueberryCheesecake8]

@@lex3025 mainly the characters. I thought the writing style was creative. Daisy is a Mary sue, great at music even though she's stoned all day and has no education or training whatsoever. Billy being a complete asshole to Camila and her being "well you are stuck with me because I'm the love of your life" ??? I liked that she forced him to be better but at the same time their relationship just seemed sad to me. Plus him and Daisy "falling in love" makes absolutely no sense. I also felt that the relationship between the brothers was underdeveloped, I expected way more resolution. And I love how one of their friends DIES at the beginning and they're like "well anyway he died moving on". The only character I liked was Camila and still i disagree with her choices so much. Daisy was so annoying, the rest of them were meh.

[@BlueberryCheesecake8]

Btw sorry if I don't write the names of most of the characters, I read this a while ago and already forgot 'em.

[@karenrry]

i finished love and other words like a day ago and i completely understand your love towards that book. it is so good and i absolutely fell in love with it, like i want to reread it. i literally thought about you when i picked it up!

[@SaraCarrolli]

omg yay!!!! i’m so happy you loved it

[@teresaneves8839]

Yes! You totally need to read red white & royal blue: it’s hilariously written, the characters are great, the plot is good, the politics/royalty aspect isn’t hard to understand and it’s literally my favourite book of all time :))

[@SaraCarrolli]

omg ok i think i should

[@jessicaonkka6698]

I just finished it tonight! It was enjoyable. :)

[@charmt.2163]

i 100% recommend the inheritance game series and folk of the air (cruel prince)!!! these are some of my fave series and i haven't felt the way i did when i read these books in so long and i just love the characters so much, the romance, and the plots overall, i hope you get to them and that u enjoy them!

[@SaraCarrolli]

red, white and royal blue is an amazing book 5⭐️. more on the romance genre and the royal is more about the characters placement in their life than history of the royal family.

[@alyssam9543]

totally agree about Emily Henry’s writing. I read beach read and people we meet on vacation this year and I wanted so badly to love both of them and they just really didn’t do it for me I felt them to be really underwhelming. the story always starts off strong and then falls flat somewhere along the way.

[@whatsdesreading]

ok but you saying I'm funny... Is the best compliment ever.

[@SaraCarrolli]

[@ShivangiBhasin]

Watching this after Sara has read so many of the books she said she “simply won’t pick up” and giving them 5 stars😂 amazing how tastes change and how much Sara has grown as a reader

[@savvy1145]

I know people hate on "They both die at the End" but I really liked it. It didn't make me cry or anything, but I still liked it! It was cute and the concept was cool.

[@calynwoods9445]

Two books I HIGHLY recommend for you if you haven’t read them yet. Rock, Paper, Scissors by Alice Feeney and The Soulmate Equation by Christina Lauren. I am SO OBSESSED with both!!

[@sara-ec3ol]

the thing about a little life is that it is one of the best books I have ever read but it is so sad and so disturbing at times that I had to stop reading it and take like a week break until I could pick it up again. Like it took me five months to read….but it’s also one of my favorite books ??

[@SaraCarrolli]

that’s what i hear!!!! idk if i’m ready

[@TearDrop955]

I feel the same way you do about The seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo. I almost didn't want to read Daisy Jones and the six afterwards, but I really enjoyed it. It wasn't a 5 star read, but I would actually read it again, I've heard the audiobook was great, so maybe I would listen to it.

[@elizabetharmstrong9762]

Okay hear me out. I am not a fantasy girlie but can’t stop thinking about ACOTAR and ACOMAF since I read them. I still have to finish the series but STILL. I was so intimidated to commit to a series but I read some Colleen Hoover in between the two of them (I’m sorry but Layla was surprisingly so good to me?!) and I feel like that’s the way to go! You need a little break in between each book in the series so you should start it! Also, Daisy Jones & the Six was such a surprising read for me. I hated The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo but loved this and it’s such a short read! Atlas Six has good dark academia vibes too and I think about it still!

[@bethanylamastus15]

I finished the entire ACOTAR series in two weeks. I’d definitely say hold off if you don’t want to get too into a series because it will GRIP YOU. I’d definitely sell my soul to experience reading that for the first time again

[@ajdushh6039]

red, white and royal blue got me into reading! Its definetely worth itttt

So glad this video has come up ! Can’t wait to watch it 💘 ily and your videos Sara !

[@SaraCarrolli]

💕💕💕💕

[@mikaelaminko148]

Verity is probably one of my favorite books. I can talk about it for hours and recommend it to everyone. I think she should do more thriller books cause I liked verity so much more than any of her other books

[@coconutanddvanilla]

You should do a video on your Goodreads ratings.. like if u still stand by some ratings or would now rate them less/more ?

[@SaraCarrolli]

that is such a good idea! thank u!!

[@alilburdie7387]

Neon Gods is not an overly Greek book! I am not into Greek mythology at all and I LOVE this book, it’s a 5 star read for me. It’s mostly romance and soooo good.

[@ivyharling]

You NEED to read My Dark Vanessa it is in my top two books for what I’ve read this year. It’s definitely not fluff and very emotional but I’ve never felt so attached to a character and what she was going through. It’s heartbreaking and beautiful and everyone should read it is so good.

[@ggskylar]

A touch of darkness is hades and Persephone retelling like neon gods. They are both pretty easy to follow because i'm the same way about mythology and names are hard for me but I enjoyed both of them!

[@britterapple]

I think you would really like heartstopper. I'm not really into graphic novels either but I am OBSESSED with heartstopper

[@b_nicholec]

I feel the exact same about A Thousand Boy Kisses. I sobbed so hard reading that book!

[@imeneblm9346]

idk why but according to the books she likes i think sara would love The Inheritance Games and The Made serie

[@mya.tatum.]

They both die at the end is one of my favourite books it’s so good honestly

[@Becksnnc]

Honestly, don't base whether you're gonna read a book on what other people have said about it. It can result in you missing out on books that you may actually enjoy. There are so many books where people gave it low ratings and I really enjoyed it and vice versa. For example I thought the Midnight Library was good. I gave it 4 stars. What the mob think doesn't mean you will think it too. I read volumes 1 and 2 of heartstopper yesterday, literally only took me like half an hour to read them both. It's cute, I would recommend as it doesn't take up any of your time at all and is short and sweet.

[@tracyedits]

I highly recommend To Love Jason Thorn. It wasn't really rom com and wasn't predictable, at least not to me. It had actually many tropes like brother's best friend, childhood friends to lovers, fake dating/marriage of convenience and the smut was great.

[@lilyryan2487]

Please don't be worried to read The Sweetest Oblivion! It is one of my favorite books I've ever read! Nico is the perfect balance of overbearing/protective and caring/compassionate. The tension between Nico and Elena literally oozes off the page like this book made me feel all the feels lol, but seriously i think you'll really enjoy Danielle Lori's writing style!

[@ayabaqir]

I’m sorry but the sweetest oblivion was one of the worst books I’ve ever read. It’s like a Wattpad fanfic but make it a published book.😭😭 Nico is just no like he’s giving macho stereotypical mafia man and there’s no depth or anything meaningful and was so forgettable. I litch started yawning half way through

[@JustAli]

Ahh you HAVE to read Hook, Line, & Sinker & Better Than The Movies! Love them both so much ❤

[@SaraCarrolli]

i think i’m gonna read them soon ☺️

[@troirutherford8353]

I would definitely recommend Red White and Royal Blue!!! I finished it in a day and a half. It was a light and fun romance. The royalty didn’t seem too over done. I really liked it.

[@caelanteixeira1853]

[@nirfremnorit7572]

Okay and also pick up heart stopper. Like please do yourself a hugeeeee favor!! Or at least watch the show it is the cutest show with such wholesome queer representation. I fell in love with it, it is a graphic novel so it reads super fast since it’s more pictures but still so amazing. All 4 novels that are currently out can be finished in an afternoon Lol Alice Oseman is amazing

[@bookandmakeuplover4263]

I described "Fine Print" as aggressively average and not worth the amount of hype it gets.

[@jadelaughlin333]

i really agree, but i will say that i will forever stick by they both die at the end. predictability is there, but that’s kinda the whole point given the name. it had me sobbing for a solid day. obviously you don’t have to read it and there’s nothing wrong with not wanting to, but if you ever consider it, here you go

[@DebbieCromackRomanceAuthor]

So interesting to see how you categorize your reading, Sara. 🙂

[@_grace.lily_55]

ok so we have veryyy different taste in books... but! I will really suggest you read red white and royal blue because it focus's more on the first son of the us and the prince is the love interest it doesn't step all that much into the royal stuff but it does focus on political campains etc. which i skim read those parts but the romance part *chefs kiss* and i know you said you dont like graphic novels but heartstopper is amazing the later books have some triggering themes but apart from that its so wholesome and realistic and my friend hates graphic novels but i covinced her to read it and now she is obsessed. As for book recs that were not mentioned in your vid, I would suggest Aristotle and dante discover the secrets of the universe which dont be tricked by it being called a romance it isnt haha its more an intense very emotional friendship until the last chapter but it is amazing and i would also recommend All that's left in the world. It is pretty good but not my usual taste in books (apocalyptic set after a disease worse than covid has wiped out most of the population). I would give red white and royal blue 5/5, heartstopper 5/5 (ps. watch the tv show on netflix), Ari and dante 5/5 and all thats left in the world 4/5. Oh wow sorry this was so long. Really good video btw! I always love hearing other peoples opinions and book tastes!

You look just like Fallon i pictured in my head while I was reading November 9 and that is my favourite CoHo book too

[@Mljones596]

Please give Where The Crawdads Sing a chance. If people view the marsh as a character itself I think they would have a better outcome. If the movie trailer intrigues you, try the book! There were so many accurate nods to the book just from the trailer, I was shocked. And if you enjoy following a character throughout their life and seeing how they develop, change, and grow from the hand that they were dealt, this was such a joy. Plus some mystery!! Don’t let the “marsh” talk push you away. If people were as patient getting through the fantasy “world-building,” this is doing the same thing, I think more would enjoy it. 4.5/5 for me

You HAVE to read The Inheritance Games and Shatter Me!!! Those two literally started my reading addiction loll. Although I understand not wanting to commit to such a long series for shatter me, but trust me, you fly through it soooooo quickly! Most are pretty short, and I think the longest one only gets to around 450! I’d love to hear your thoughts on these! Their both so intricately plotted with many twists and turns. You should do a reading vlog. Either series would be super entertaining!
