[@RahulSingh-books]

I am excited about A Court of Wings and Ruin.

[@lillythai7939]

readbyzoe Definitely the Lord of Shadows (highly awaiting your review 😊) and the is the new Lanini Taylor because despite not liking A Daughter of Smoke and Bones, her writing is good and 2nd chances should be given 😂

[@josefinewibom1365]

[@gabyc.5891]

OMG!! You´re Mike Wazowski Mug is goals af!! I love it!!!

[@myialina]

I love your book rating system. It makes a lot more sense how much you like a book then the star rating.

[@aimee621]

I love your hair!!

[@rookay9662]

Glad to see your uber-cheerful self back and ready to conquer the (KZbin scheduling) world! Lol also your nose freckles are the cutest

[@anamiranda6022]

YOUR FRECKLES LOOK ADORABLE

[@annazhou787]

Zoe!!! I didn't know that you had freckles! They are so adorable :DD

[@kath_mr00]

anna zhou this is the first time I noticed her freckles too. They look so cute, it's like they are perfectly aligned with each other (somehow)

[@eyelux13]

anna zhou I think she may have drawn them on

[@pixelatedDream]

I was thinking that too.

[@withlovesavannah4163]

she has freckles but these are drawn on

[@smitrome6271]

She's effing beautiful !!

[@moonchild4241]

When you introduced the Raven Boys, I squealed because it's my favourite book series and my channel is inspired by that series as well!

[@kaitlynwilson7280]

I really like your rating system! It is very different to the normal star rating and I think it helps represent your feelings better about the books. I might have to try it out. BTW your freckles are super cute!!

[@themeanandnice6186]

I love the desk, all it takes is some spray paint and a little love and you have something beautiful

[@LaurenceRoberge]

Your hair and your freckles are the cutest!!

[@emmagreenily]

IM SO HAPPY YOU LOVED TRB. I'm always dreaming about Ronan don't worry. And the books just get better.

[@stephpiano2908]

So lovely to see you Zoe in my sub box, it's really brightened my day 💕

[@racquelmccrary3896]

Can you do a contemporary recommendations video? Love your videos and glad you are out of your reading slump! 💗

[@approvedd9060]

Your copy of the hitchiker's guide is so fun and I want it!

[@bethanyteel132]

I read How to be a Bawse at the beginning pf the year and loved it as well.

[@helloitsbrittany]

Currently reading How to Be a Bawse and have so far been pleasantly surprised! Been definitely been inspiring some productivity in me for sure.

[@thejourneytonarnia6511]

Oh my goodness! I am obsessed with The Raven Boys! It is definitely my favorite book of all time. I talk about it way too much on my channel.

[@g-5458]

"It has a summery vibe" *thinks about how it gets up to 120° over here*

[@hannahmarie08]

gia o I got really concerned because I'm used to Celsius, then realized you were probably referring to Fahrenheit. Then I got concerned for you again when I realized how hot that is 😂

[@carolinereadsbooks4444]

I love the Raven Boys, I'm so glad you liked it!

[@mariyahrichardson2380]

I love the freckles, so cute! 😍

[@samanthachamberlain6500]

Your energy reminds me of NayaReadsAndSmiles!! You're both so adorable! ^=^

[@havenkamps7931]

I love love love the Raven cycle so much!!! ❤️

[@HannahHodgson]

I have to admit I haven't read any of these, and have heard of only a few of them. Thank you so much for telling me about them! I've only just started making BookTube videos but having solid recommendations are a fab thing so that I don't waste time on a rubbish book! Thank you lovely xx

[@sandyreadsalot]

I need to read Queens of Geek! I feel like I would really enjoy it and I'm glad to hear that you did! I felt the same about The Raven Boys when you talked about your first read. Hearing you talk about your reread makes me want to give it a reread and see if I should continue the series!

[@leafbladed]

I HAD A DREAM ABOUT RONAN TOO WHEN I READ TRB!!!

[@joanna5264]

Have you read the second book ?

[@messybookshelf]

I loved how to be a bawse! I'm looking forward to a court of wings and ruin.

[@a11150n]

OH MY GOD YOU'RE BACK!! I am so happy about this, and the fact you have plans to post 3 times a week!! So So So happy.

[@Ashley-p1x]

love what you're doing to your hair!!

[@saraisreading4231]

Really loving the percentage/letter grades. I feel like it's a much better gage of how you felt about the book. Also I'm a VERY HYPED for cray may, glad to see you back. :)

[@scarredxangel]

The book I'm most excited to read this month is A Court Of Wings and Ruin!!!

[@LisaandThings]

So glad you liked the Raven boys! I've been meaning to read it. Looking forward to your review!

[@BohoBookworm]

Your Monsters inc mug is AWESOME. Queens of Geek sounds really cute :) I just read Caspar Lee which is also about a youtuber and I was really impressed! It's a biography but really fun and also mentions so many serious things like Taurette, OCD, ADD and divorce. A really good read I'd recommend for any aspiring youtuber!

[@emilyeileen7]

I read all five books of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and it was SO MUCH FUN! Zoe, you have to read the other books less you miss the experience! And the ending of the fifth book - it's so Douglas-Adamsy solved. Go read the second book.

[@poodle44441]

LOVE THE FRECKLES!! They fit you so well

[@readbyzoe]

hehehe thank you! I naturally have freckles, but they have faded because of lack of sun + my foundation covers them, so I decided to give them a little help ;D

[@katyamarch5070]

I love your mug so much!

[@BooksandLooks]

What a pretty purple desk!!! I love upcycles so so much. Queens of Geeks reminds me a little of Geekerella haha. Obviously not a lot like it haha. But I totally want to read that now. Hitchhikes is one of my favs. We have it in our 8 fast reads video because you fly through them ha.

[@charlottefwebster]

I really want to read the raven boys series but I still haven't gotten round to it yet, being that busy with school and everything but I really want to at some point!! I love you and your videos btw xxx

[@LisaandThings]

Charlotte Webster same! I need to get to the Raven boys!!!

[@charlottefwebster]

PortableMagic I can't wait because it really sounds like something I would really like 😻

[@LisaandThings]

Same!! And I've heard such good things!

[@charlottefwebster]

yea it's supposed to be amazing!!

[@elisabilllopez33]

Charlotte Webster Me too, they look really good!

[@jennifercahill7397]

I have 2 favorites of April: The Female of the Species by Mindy McGinnis & The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. Highly recommend both! They discuss such important things and are written well. I am most excited for Six of Crows in May. Finally getting to it.

[@ilargia_]

Zoe if you ever feel like you want to read something crazy as the Hitchhicker's Guide you should try The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde. Madness and fun!

[@aracelimorales3404]

Ahhhh I have 50 pages or so left of the raven boys I'm loving it ahh its sooooooo amazing glad you liked

[@alexis-thenerdybruja3236]

My favorite book I read this month was Alex, Approximately! I loved it❤️❤️❤️ and most anticipated is probing a court of wings and ruin because I've had to wait forever for it!!

[@sofietomkaulitz]

I also read The star touched queen in april, really enjoyed it! and now I can't wait to pick up a crown of wishes

[@Rocio-ru1zg]

omg your hair looks so pretty! i adore your videos Zoe, they're always so much fun. 😊 take care xx

[@mariahpeterson9433]

I just picked up A Crown of Wishes from the Library, and I am hoping to get to it soon! I also love how you rate your books by percentages and not stars!

[@Haze130295]

I am so excited for A Court of Wings and Ruin!! Pre-ordered it so it'll arrive today :D

[@melissamartin9132]

I LOVE your desk! Great job :-)

[@katiestewart7926]

My favourite books of last month was either Strange the Dreamer or Always and Forever, Lara Jean (I ordered it from amazon and it came super early), these books are so different it's hard to compare because I enjoyed them for totally different reasons. :)

[@builderhunter1933]

Hi Zoe, Since you liked Queens of Geek so much, I would recommend reading Chris Colfer's new book, Stranger than Fan-Fiction. It's a really quick read and is very enjoyable. Hope you enjoy!

[@lexy509]

Favorite book of April: Kings Cage by Victoria Aveyard and may TBR: pursuit of happyness

[@zoeybooks659]

Great video! And yes the raven boys and the final Lara jean book!

[@withlovesavannah4163]

"I was dreaming about Ronan for some reason." Um...

[@MackenzieStamper]

[@mjop6187]

[@YoSamiYo]

Excitinggg, I'll also read the dreamthieves this month

[@charityyoder9028]

My favorite book in April was A Murder of Crows by Anne Bishop. Book 2 in The Others series and it was absolutely fabulous.

[@andrealegarrea6207]

I love your videos so much!! I had never noticed before that you have freckles, you look beautiful :)

[@gbnas]

[@GabyGabsBooks16]

Hi Zoe :) I'm loving your hair; looks so cute! Queens of Geek sounds like a super fun read; adding it to my TBR. Last year, I tried to read The Raven Boys but for some reason I couldn't get into it. You sound so excited talking about it that I want to give it another shot haha. My favorite read of April was What We Saw; I recommend it!

[@marissaadams6746]

it's been a long time since I've been watching booktube so maybe this is late, but you're hair is so cute!

[@Amythestz]

ahh! I'm excited for the new uploading schedule, I've missed your vids!

[@adventureswithmadison]

[@deniz1506]

I really really REALLY love you,zoe💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@mellisyarnandbookadventure4895]

I finally started the Raven boys series taking a break but I read the first too.

[@Emily-gv1jk]

Lovveeeeeed!!! Your video 💝💝💝

[@skysorceress22]

I can completely relate to the book slump, I'm also 10 books behind on goodreads, but I read like 6 books in last month, sooo ... progress! XD Also, your freckles are super cute! My TBR for may consists of so many books, but I'm also aware that there's so much college-related things to do, before I can actually get to all of them. XD

[@gabrielajanae]

I literally squealed when you mentioned Jenny Han was releasing another book to her series of Lara Jean's letters (not sure thats the name of the series but Lara Jean is the main character) !!!!! Thank you for the video btw, I'm a new subscriber! I'm trying to get back to my reading ways and grow my book collection so I'm looking forward to your new videos! ❤️

[@jackiesliterarycorner]

My favorite book that I finished in April was The Name of the Wind.

[@jackiesliterarycorner]

I'm going to read The Raven Boys this month. I'm hoping to get Dream Thieves for my birthday.

[@jackielopez9739]

you look so beautiful! The hair is gorgeous!
