The Secret Garden was so lovely! I think it’s definitely going to be one I reread every Spring 🥰🌸 Your edition is so pretty 😍

[@ruthalaina4837]

I would love to do the same thing Desi 🌸🌻 I think it’s such a wonderful book 📚

[@hollyludlow2460]

They are MinaLima editions

[@Lillyjoy]

You should read the graphic novel adaptation! It’s so good

[@KalynAbridged]

Yes I totally agree Desi!! I loved reading it with you, Gavin and Lexi this past year 🥰

[@jaclyndiscovers8648]

Love the aesthetic of your channel! I just finished The One and it may end up on my favs of 2022 list!

[@ruthalaina4837]

Glad to hear that you loved the secret garden as well 🌲I loved it so much! And that copy is gorgeous

[@scoobydoo_forever]

I just found you today and you are by far my favorite book reviewer. You explain things so well and there's books that I didn't think I'd be interested in until you explained to them

[@theborky]

you are literally a real life disney princess

[@thepageandstage]

Hi Kalyn! The Secret Garden is my favorite book of all time. You’re right on - Mary is terribly unlikable at first, but opening up to a new family, friends, and nature allows her to grow in profound ways, transcending all her previous judgements about social class and a total lack of socialization/love. And talk about atmosphere - the passing seasons in Yorkshire are so well described! Glad you enjoyed 😊🌸

[@Books_BrewsandBeyond]

The Maid sounds really good Kalyn I'm planning on getting this on my kindle especially because I loved the movie Knives Out. I'm glad you are feeling better. The secret garden was one of my favourite classics growing up in the 90's.

[@ruthalaina4837]

One that I loved was Peter Pan and I have the pop up version soooo yea 😅😍

[@ruthalaina4837]

What app do you use to edit your beautiful vlogs? Also I was just thinking about you!! And I have got to try book of the month! I’ve heard so much about it but I’ve never tried it 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@ABookLikeYou]

Amal was also one of my favorite books of last year. ☺️ I also read a lot of the Avatar graphic novels last year. I agree, the Search is the best! Zuko and Iroh are my favorite characters. 🥰

[@chrissyfuhrie]

Omg your videos are the cutest. So glad I found your channel. Can’t wait for more! 🙂

[@bookthoughtswitheilish]

I want to read Crescent City before the second book comes out, it sounds so good! My favourite books this year was the Six of Crows/Crooked Kingdom duology, I adored them 💛

[@ReReChan]

I love your video's color grading. It's like a pretty orange filter that suits your hair and the wood bookshelf

[@18thdandelion]

I like how you take time to describe and review each book. I love The One a lot too, though I think I prefer The Passengers. Love your outfit.

[@ruthalaina4837]

I missed you so much!!! Even tho it’s not been that long!

[@ReadingNymph]

So many heartwarming books! I can't wait for the 2nd Crescent City book!!

[@bookswithamymarie]

💜I need to reread The Secret Garden now! Beautiful edition too!

[@KM-690]

When I read evelyn hugo, i totally did not expect anything that happened in the book. I was blown away.

[@ashlynhale3369]

I had one of my best reading years ever! The ACOTAR was also a favorite read of the year for me. Some of my other faves were Dune, the song of Achilles, bunny, Spinning Silver, the poppy war, city of brass, chain of iron, mistborn, legendborn, lord of the rings and the hobbit, piranesi, middlegame, ninth house, know my name, this is how you lose the time war, and the raven cycle quartet!

[@muskaan3711]

I absolutely love Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. It's a book I think about almost everyday.

[@gilliansmith9458]

One of my absolute favorite books is Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen. It's a contemporary fantasy/feel-good fiction about a family of women who all hold different magical gifts (the main character has the ability to cook food with special properties) and it is SO cozy. Very magical read that I feel like you'd love!

[@homebodywitherinn3003]

Love your videos! Thanks for sharing darling 🌈💕

[@ProspectivePlans]

I’m adding all of these books to my reading list, thanks for sharing! 💫 Keep rising to be who you want to be! 💫 #keeprising #risingtobe #aswerise #riser

[@ali_enchanted]

Yasss The One!!! I'm so glad we all loved it. Such a good pick! 💕

[@KalynAbridged]

Yes I am too!! Such a surprising pick 🙌🏻 I can’t believe how good it was.

[@georgiefarr1094]

One of my main goals is to read Crescent City this year. I want to finish the Court of Thorns and Roses first then move onto Crescent City, as well as the sequel too. Lots of reading to do this year but I can do it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@KalynAbridged]

YESSS!!! I hope you love it as much as I did. I had such a good time reading it. Good luck with your goals!! You ABSOLUTELY can do it!

[@GwendolynKensinger]

The Secret Garden is one of my very favorite classics. I need to get that edition you have.

[@beLIEver31415]

Love The Secret Garden so much and The Avatar Comics :D I already had The One on my TBR but now I really really want to read it ASAP :D

[@nohelanikh6788]

Crescent City is a new favorite for me too! It’s the first SJM book I’ve read, and I’d like to read more. This year I’d really like to read A Little Princess. I loved the movie as a kid.

[@KalynAbridged]

Aww yay!! I’m so glad you liked it as well, it was such a fun book. A little princess is AMAZING! That movie just tore my heart out as a kid 🥺

[@ruthalaina4837]

I love that book as well! It is adorable 😍

[@mshannarose12]

I haven't read the Secret Garden since I was little. Thank you for the reminder! My favourite books of 2021 included quite a few classics and contemporary classics: I Capture the Castle, The Secret History, and a new favourite book of all time - Rebecca. I've always been a reader but I really got into Booktube last year, enjoying the discussions around books and reading. Thank you for adding a sprinkle of magic into my year, and I'm excited to read some new favourites in 2022!

[@heathers.hondana]

I love the one! I read it 2 years ago and it’s one of my all time favorites. My number 1 2021 book is Finlay Donovan is killing it. It’s so good and funny too

[@ruthalaina4837]

Ooo I wanna read that one as well 📚

[@harmshoney]

i remember watching the secret garden when i was little & *sobbing* !! i can't wait to read it as an adult. also, excited that my copy of crescent city finally arrives tomorrow 🙌🏼 the 7 husbands of evelyn hugo is sitting on my shelf just waiting to be read lol! always love your videos ✨

[@KalynAbridged]

Oh man you absolutely should read it as an adult. It tore out my heart and put it back together. It’s such a beautiful story. YAY!! I hope you love the other two as well 🥰 thank you so much for watching 🥺

[@harmshoney]

@@KalynAbridged ahh I know it will so I need to emotionally prepare 🥲😅 lol! so excited!! thank you for the recommendations 💚

[@ruthalaina4837]

🥺😭yesss! It was about crying worthy!!

[@LifeasMonae]

Glad you’re back!!!!

[@LifeasMonae]

Ordering Klara and the sun now for sure

[@margretsnae]

I just finished The One the other day. Super interesting concept, reminded me of Black Mirror. I enjoyed it!

[@ruthalaina4837]

I wanna read it 🙈

[@laurelsmith7359]

I read Seance Tea Party, Secret Garden and The One and they were all 5⭐️ for me as well!! Especially Seance Tea Party.

[@booksandbeauty4381]

The secret garden is just a heartwarming read

[@heathers_happily_ever_afters]

The Secret Garden is such a good book. I re-read A Little Princess in December. Frances Hodgson Burnett is my favorite author. I read the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo this year also. I gave it 4 stars, because the writing was amazing, but I didn't like any of the characters except for Harry. I plan to read Crescent City later this month. I'm currently reading Kingdom of Ash and I have 175 left.

[@cassyynewman]

Just found your channel and Im so glad you loved The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo it is in my top 3 of all time favourite books. But girl I just wanted to say you are literally who I envision as Celia, like you could be cast as her in the film adaptation with no acting experience and I would not care because you look exactly how I imagine Celia hahha

[@lendralit1174]

I can hardly believe that we get the sequel to Crescent City next month!! It feels like it took forever, and I can't wait to see where SJM takes Bryce and Hunt next. :)

[@littlelifeofbooks]

I really need to read Crescent City! 🌙

[@jewelse1975]

I really liked The Secret Garden and cannot wait to read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

That copy of the secret garden is so pretty 👀

[@ruthalaina4837]

It really is 😍

[@sarahwilkes8849]

I really want to buy the search! Where did you get the graphic novel?

[@breannawilliamson9787]

Ummm where do you get your clothes?!

[@livslibrary]

You need to read the Secret Garden in graphic novel form that came out last year! So cute 🥰

[@KalynAbridged]

Ooooo I didn’t even know that was a thing I’m definitely going to have to look into that!

[@ruthalaina4837]

They have a graphic novel?? I have GOT to get that 😁📚

[@littlelifeofbooks]

I second that! It’s amazing!! 🪴😍

[@tiffanymorningstar7008]

i been meaning to re-read evelyn hugo

[@Floridiansince94]

I love your hair color ;)

[@gabieger]

I have read Evelyn Hugo and Malibu Rising also this year. I did not like Malibu Rising at all, but Evelyn Hugo, omg that book, it just took me by surprise, I did not know what to expect from that book, story with such a title, but holy guacamole was it good.

[@KalynAbridged]

Yes I was blown away as well by Evelyn Hugo! Such amazing character and story. I’m so glad you loved it as well 🥰

[@ruthalaina4837]

I wanna read that soooo bad! 😭

[@blueumi5028]

[@zubaerchaudhari8267]

Can you be my friend

[@SaloneeShital]

thank you so much for the secret garden disclaimer. I read it when I was young and oh my god colonisers really are the best. India is hot and made her sick! like we didn't ask you to be here sooo . needless to say I did not like it and no one talk about its racist undertones so yeah thanks
