weekly reading vlog - I read 4 books & here's my thoughts

[@emilystephen5693]

I would really love a book club thing. Where at the start of the month you announce some books you’re reading in that month and your preread thoughts and then we can all read them during the month and then at the end of the month you talk about your thoughts and do your recaps. Discuss things in the comments and whatnot obviously with spoilers 😂

[@jessmeier]

This is such a good idea!!

[@elizabethgunshon1241]

Yes, sounds perfect

[@Sailorweebs]

Im a sucker for a good book club id love this!!

[@DisneyLissy]

Great idea

[@inmymind3478]

Yesss. A fb group would do

[@XiiaoPanda12]

OMG! I totally agree with the sizing of couples mentioned in romance books. And I almost feel like they always explain as the ML to be some kind of giant while saying the FL is an ant size human😂 Whenever I read romance books, reading about the size totally ticks me off and makes me considered to just DNF it😂 No hate to love on the brain because the story was great but just for overall romance books that likes to mention the size of the character.

[@caitlynbloxham3530]

Yes! I loved this reading vlog. I would love to see this every week. ❤

[@stephanie6850]

The eternal struggle between watching your reading vlog and reading! I'm currently reading Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff and ABSOLUTELY obsessed - i havent been grabbed by a book like this in a LONG time. Highly recommend!

[@MariamRizvi]

Well isn't this the best surprise for a Friday! Literally just finished work + i'm so excited to curl up in bed + watch your video tonight (it's also raining so really setting the cozy vibes rn😍)

[@isabellaascenzo4770]

I totally agree with you about the enemies-to-lovers trope! Like, I don’t want it to be called enemies-to-lovers unless they both absolutely despise each other!!!!!!

[@alfusca9824]

Totally agree with you - ‘misunderstandings to lovers’ does not equal ‘enemies to lovers’. Agree that the guy does not dislike her. It’s overplayed to create drama. Felt sorry for the guy main character

[@bloocandy247]

I just finished Forever, Interrupted by TJR and I think you're really going to love it...such a sweet romance that had me crying nearly every other chapter 😅

[@bella.r3522]

Originally loved the lifestyle/ active based content but not going to lie the shift to all book based content was unexpected. I always get so excited when i see a notification that you have posted but im not really a book worm so really missing the old videos 💗

[@yesseniatejeda9585]

Your videos bring me so much joy! Very relaxing after a stressful day 🙂 and to top it off book Recs to add to my collection, you can never have enough books lol

[@Lisalivess]

Would love to see more videos like this 🙌🏼🙌🏼 love seeing live reactions and also just calming to watch

[@tianikolic7901]

Glad to see our nerves for Carrie was the same I felt SICK 😅 also predicted the ending and was glad it panned out that way for that character development

[@janalr12]

Def more weekly reading vlogs!!

[@LukeAlexander]

I used to be big reader as a teen but fell out of it and want to get back into, could you do a video about how you got back into to reading and how you read more?😊

[@abireadthat]

She has heaps of videos talking about getting out of reading slumps in her playlist! 🥰

[@glitterandguitaars]

I’m totally here for this account to become a booktube account 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@eafj90]

Can’t wait until I’m done with study so I can get back into reading!

[@LisaManche]

I know nothing about tennis so I was unsure about Carrie Soto but I ended up loving it! It read like a movie to me, could totally picture it all. I've been recommending it to all my tennis loving friends haha. Love your reading vlogs!

[@arpitkaur9742]

as someone who has read the love hypothesis and all three STEMinist novellas by ali hazelwood i felt like love on the brain was the same story with the same characters with minor tweaks and it felt very repetitive reading the same thing for the 5th time (especially since i read the 3 novellas this year too)

[@Mylenna]

Definitely more book videos please 😊

[@megsarah1024]

yes to more weekly reading vlogs!!

[@mbogonelly9144]

Yes❤❤more of these please

[@girl_offline]

contemporary romance is NEVER enemies to lovers 💁🏻‍♀

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Amazing video Rachel, I really enjoyed seeing all you’ve read!

[@sinelizwindungane5981]

I’m a STEM girl and I really wanted to enjoy the love hypothesis but I couldn’t get into it. I realised that I don’t really enjoy the popular books. I guess I’m more into the period romance books 😅 I also have a book similar to clean. It’s taken me a while to read through it because it’s really heavy and also deals with rehab and patients struggling with addictions. Lovely vlog as always Rachel ❤

[@Lilies0401]

Yes please more weekly vlogs

[@Ali_lamb]

Absolutely loved this reading vlog!!

[@melhart5808]

Enjoyed this weekly reading vlog ❤

[@morganmurphy8700]

Subscribed as soon as I saw the Bible verse 🫶🏼

[@miabennett3130]

I think I made the mistake of reading Ali Hazelwoods novellas then read Love on the Brain. I adored the Love Hypothesis but as I kept reading her books I don’t know if I actually enjoy her writing style. I 100% agree with the mainly humongous man and tiny delicate female. She does it in every book. I’m into women in STEM but eventually they all start blending together. Also the “villain” of the book was extremely predictable… whole book was predictable.

[@thebestiebooksleeve]

Loved this vlog!

[@crawfordjennifer2015]

Thank you for all your videos! I enjoy them ! Also, I was just wondering if you have read the love hypothesis? If so what are you thoughts? I am looking for funny, lighthearted and funny books! Any recommendations? 😊

[@johnsaxongitno4life588]

I am really thinking about getting the bible would love to no your favourite parts of it are love this video and your amazing channel please stay safe and enjoy your reading prayers and thoughts for you and your family love your family friend John ❤❤❤

[@ameliamack9126]

So glad you said what you said about the size of characters being mentioned again and again in books. It is so annoying and unnecessary!

[@MrFlinchenstein]

You should read George Orwell's 1984

[@liltoppsy]

Rach I need to know WHERE that black cockatoo mug is from immediately 😍😍

[@AprilShowers560]

I’d love to hear your thoughts on My Policeman. I couldn’t put it down.

[@Ali_lamb]

I loved love on the brain!

[@madymitchell9180]

Did anybody else notice that her outfit at the beginning of the video matched her water bottle?

[@VolumeVita]

Hey Rachel and beautiful viewers, PLEASE let me know what you think of this hot take: I’m a huge reader and love reading non fiction (biography, psychology, philosophy and business) as well as non fiction (thriller, crime, literature and comedy) and I watch a lot of recommendation and TBR videos on book tok and KZbin but I’ve been noticing a few things 1- toxic relationships in books. I don’t know why these romance novels have such toxic behavior, similar to notebook, it’s not this extreme toxic romance that it’s easy to spot the red flags. It’s the kind of crying, running and chasing love that is romanticized into this intense passion. But I don’t think this idea is healthy or good for anyone, and I’m concerned all this people are reading these romance books and wanting this kind of romance that’s not GOOD! Or even the summer I turned pretty, 2 brothers are in love with the same girl? Kidnapped love? Cheating love? Enemies fall in love? Like this is all toxic. Is jt just me? 2- the competition between who’s the better reader? This doesn’t make sense to me at all. It is not impressive if you’ve read 100+ romance books in a year. To me, it’s like saying you’re better because you’ve watched 100+ romantic tv shows in a year. It’s a hobby, it’s something you enjoy doing so why turn it into a competition? Also, thriller and romance and generally non fiction reads are super super quick to read

[@dreamer626]

In response to #1: The reason I stopped reading Colleen Hoover books after reading 3 is because I found the relationships to be a bit too toxic for me so it's not just you. :) Also I took Magnolia Parks off of my TBR when I found out it had a toxic relationship.

[@Sailorweebs]

I agree i hate when they consistently talk about the characters sizes like once yeah i can understand when the characters are initially introduced and you’re describing them to get a better picture while reading but once the character set up is done it’s unnecessary to keep repeating it and thats why i absolutely refuse to read anything by ali hazelwood all i ever hear is that she puts it in every other page i also wasn’t the biggest fan of kylo ren and whatever the female characters name was in the newer star wars movies i keep hearing the characters being compared with those characters which i don’t love

[@Julie_ao]

😍❣️❣️

[@ktwhy7045]

Are you and Georgia still friends(

[@abireadthat]

why wouldn’t they be? 😂😅

[@Alexa-vp9fe]

@@abireadthat because they haven’t posted that they have seen each other since georg got back from her trip 😢 even though georg has caught up with soph again and other friends already

[@abireadthat]

@@Alexa-vp9fe not to be that person but they don’t have to post whenever they see each other. Regardless if they’re not as close anymore then unfortunately that’s life but also no one’s business but theirs 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@michellestanic7509]

o my gosh i so get the identity thing it seems a so dumb and unrealistic

[@niamhaitken5992]
