[@whatsdesreading]

Johnny and Shannon are 100% lily and lo coded that's why I love them so much

[@SaraCarrolli]

Starting a petition to get you here for all the fall activities

[@RachelCatherine]

save me a pumpkin spice latte I'm on my way

[@amandabethhirsch]

I didn’t think it was possible for Powerless to make someone giggle more than Sara, but you did it! 😂 Have to read this now.

[@squidwardtentacles7144]

Right! I might just have to read it next month! I'm so intrigued now!

[@100percentakire]

I reacted the exact same way during Powerless! Totally obsessed, giggling, insufferable!

[@RachelCatherine]

ugh obsessed

[@jaelajoy717]

Watching you read powerless at the table made me literally second hand giddy and giggling. I can not wait to read this book!

[@RachelCatherine]

eeeep I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!!!

[@sararonn]

Saving six is the next one in the boys of Tommen series, and it’s Joey’s story, saving six is from his first year of school to the incident I think, and redeeming six is a new timeline after everything. When I read it I didn’t feel like it was repetitive, but then again you have to go through the pain twice. I didn’t mind because I love these books with my whole heart (mostly because they RIPPED it out of me) I hope you like them when you read them! Pd: I feel like it’s important to point out that they describe with detail drug abuse and addiction, just so you know 😅

[@lina.laura.isabelle]

It's 11pm in Germany and I can't wait to wake up and watch this tomorrow morning 🤍

[@evelientx]

I bought powerless because of Sara and watching you read it now with this much excitement has pushed it to the top of my tbr im definitely reading it once I’ve finished my cr

[@booksandchooks7266]

What you're describing about the banter and everything sounds similar to the banter in One Upon A Broken Heart! It had me smiling non stop! So now I wanna read Powerless if its got the same vibe!

[@Niina-py5uw]

When it comes to Rachel I click without reading the title of the video, Shes is IT for me ❤❤

[@vron413]

it warmed my heart seeing you giggling and blushing and having the best time reading powerless ❤

[@Kittyzero13426]

Thanks to you and Sara Carrolli I just pre-ordered Powerless on my kindle and most likely will be read with Iron Flame in November. Happy reading!

[@elifturk9995]

I am counting seconds for your weekly book content😭😭keep up the great work💖💪🏼✨

[@bea5687_]

I love your vlogs Rachel! I binge your content every chance I get ❤️

[@lucyannel1764]

hey Rach! I love this video. I would love to see a morning routine or a weekly vlog focusing on your mornings like a "spend my mornings with me" video haha

[@lifewithsarahf2858]

I love all your reading vlogs Rachel, your love for books is so infectious x

[@nuhahisham9886]

First time i read powerless i literally couldn’t contain my giggles and squeals and even now after watching your reaction to it am giggling and blushing like am the one reading it AGAIN!😭

[@nataliesnotebooks]

HAVE YOU READ CARAVAL!? did I miss it? I really think you should read that trilogy before going into OUABH so you can understand Jacks.... BUT up to you! I just would love to see a spoiler video of your opinion on the whole trilogy. Finale was a 6 star read for me!! ANYWAY love your videos

[@sonyajordan8597]

Love sitting down at work to a new rach video! Defs the best way to start the week

[@teresamaguire1353]

Ok now I want to drop what I’m currently reading & read powerless thanks to you & Sara

[@DaughterOfTheKingdom16]

I always love the verses in the beginning in the videos

[@shannonkelly6794]

yess i LOVE powerless soo much, it's just such a fun time

[@ileanaisabeliturrado]

Love when the time difference lets me be early for once 🙈🙈 so excited to watch!! Perfect for my rainy sunday afternoon hehe

[@ellarose.readss]

Omg YAY I love a mood reading vlog!!!

[@joellestewart1190]

So in Saving 6, it goes back to when Joey was 12 and met Aiofe, but also the day Daniel left. It then stretches on throughout the next six years of his life till he is 18, where it ends around the time Binding 13 starts, when Shannon switches to going to Tommen. Redeeming 6 is then everything that happened during Binding, and keeping 13, but on Joeys POV. I wouldnt say that it is repetitive per-se. Because there was a lot of times Joey was gone during B&K 13. But even on the scenes that are repetitive, you dont mind because Joeys POV of things is so interesting vs Shannons. And then I believe Redeeming 6 goes on just slightly after Keeping 13 ended, but that was mostly the epilogues.

[@jessmawson4582]

Love the video Rachel! You read saving 6 then redeeming 6. Saving 6 goes back to when joey was 12 up until the end of binding 13 if i remember correctly and redeeming 6 goes over keeping 13 and a little after. I didnt find it repetitive as only a few of the scenes appear in the 13 books and the 6 six books and reeading them in the other POV is sooo different.

[@thebookishhguy]

Saving 6 starts a few years before binding 13 and then it slowly overlaps the timeline of binding/keeping 13. But it was definitely not repetitive

[@sofiaroldan4781]

i had the exact reactions to powerless omg. almost every one of the pages is annotated because i was blushing the entire time

[@jessicapinto1740]

About to start powerless because of you I’m so excited now

[@Pri-S14]

Watching your reaction to Powerless haha I love it! We need the second book now! 😫

[@annaaskling4781]

Ahhhhh, finished Powerless last week and I literally got butterflies in my stomach watching you go through what I just went through - Freaking loved that book and this vlog!!💞

[@rebeccagregersen8025]

I would literally LOVE to buy your annotated Magnolia Parks book. I really want to read your annotations so bad bc I LOVE MP as well!

[@anchalrani_]

How you felt about Keeping 13 is how I felt about A Little Life! The heartwarming parts were so warm but it was also sooo brutal 😢

[@squidwardtentacles7144]

Ooohhhh! Why does this make me want to start "Binding 13"? I loved "A Little Life".😅

[@anchalrani_]

@@squidwardtentacles7144 Honestly Same! I have been avoiding it because its so thick but now I’m all like GIVE IT TO ME.

[@trinmiyake7760]

saving 6 is def different than b13+k13 but redeeming 6 basically overlaps both b13+k13. but it was only a handful of scenes that were overlapped if i’m remembering correctly. the times when joey would constantly leave the house and we didn’t know where he was, we get all of that in redeeming 6. like it still had way different scenes than what we saw in the first two books especially since we had aoife pov! it ends off differently as well & it’s worth reading tbh!

[@samantha_elise]

I feel you with the not getting to join in on all the fall activities and only really celebrating Christmas. Its the same in NZ.

[@topangaking9507]

RACHEL YOUR GIGGLING MADE ME FEEL GIDDY AND I'M LEGIT SPRINTING TO GO BUY POWERLESS RN

[@Maroon58]

Yay! Going to start powerless this week and loved your reactions!

[@RachelCatherine]

I hope you enjoy!!

[@AstridPizarro]

I found your channel due to the booktubers pick my reads video, I love your videos!!

[@youngmissbarb]

saving 6 is a prequel to binding it’s soooo fun

[@naomisteenstratoussaint]

I was already SO excited for Powerless, but you just got me soooooo excited 🥹😭

[@RachelCatherine]

IT'S SO GOOD

[@JustReadingwithJazzy]

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Amazing video Rachel!😸

[@readwithroxy]

Alright - you really got me curious about powerless!! * adds to TBR *

[@lanatahir]

SHE POSTED!!😍😍😍😍

[@sarahelsie]

I feel like I am obliged to now read Powerless, it sounds so good!!

[@nuhahisham9886]

I was LITERALLY (not even exaggerating) giggling and squealing the whole time throughout the book😭😭😭 u should definitely read it

[@sukhichall5845]

Ahhh I felt exactly like you re binding and keeping 13. I wouldn’t recommend the books because of the abuse and pain aspect. I will never ever forget these books and I’m not sure in a good way lol! My heart was pounding out of my chest in keeping 13! Love your videos!! I pounce on watching them when you post ❤!

[@monica.grimes]

just finally ordered powerless because of this.

[@nicol540]

I think you will love Once Upon a Broken Heart! I've read it twice this year

[@anchalrani_]

Im on page 250 in Powerless and after watching this I cant wait to wake up tomorrow and read it!!!

[@Breanna3206]

I just bought this book based off of your reactions.... literally 😍☺☺

[@manuelagiraldo2262]

Yessss please read saving/ redeeming 6 you won’t regret it 💕

[@anamaurihernandez-no8ym]

Dropped everything for this! While my fiancé watches football, I watch my fav booktubers 😍

[@raqperalta]

i stopped what i was watching to watch your video

[@underavioletmoon]

Your reaction to powerless is exactly how i felt. Im in love with kai🤭🤭

[@IRiddikulusI]

Chloe Welsh hints that Shannon story with Johnny is her life story. Joey book one is him 12-18years old. Book 2 is overlap with Shannan story but from an adult pov. Things that you question in Shannon's book are answered in his book. His story is hart breaking. Tw: Drugs & abuse

[@TheBookDragon548]

Ugh jeez Rachel, now I have to buy Powerless and read it immediately to get myself out of my reading slump 🙄 thanks a lot 😏

[@chocolateoreo6489]

Please remember to take care of yourself! You matter ❤❤❤

[@jamiecoffey3182]

Absolutely love these weekly reading vlogs/mood reading vlogs!

[@stephaniewest88]

Ahhhh I can’t wait to receive my copy of ‘powerless’ in the mail!

[@notregularr__]

so happy you read Powerless

[@stephaniestrok7031]

Just be aware that the next two books in the BOT series are rough. If the abuse in the first two were tough for you to read, the next two are on another level

[@sophiejames2759]

omg I love the way you Jameson 🥲☺️🥰 in the uk it’s James-son lol but the way you say it is so much better haha loooove your videos and always giving me inspo to pick up my next read

[@jadecavanagh1056]

[@BasmatiCake]

I am literally obsessed with Winston.

[@cait823]

Patiently waiting or powerless to be available in November. I can't find it anywhere

[@chocolateoreo6489]

I’m sending you love❤❤❤

[@user-jh9yg2br3g]

girlie i have to warn you joeys books are so much more sad like he goes through it. I love them though and they are so worth to read but go into them when you are in a happy headspace. Joey is my favourite character though so please still read it

[@abigailhaller1091]

I want to read Powerless cause it sounds so good, but is there spice?

[@bookthoughtswitheilish]

Oh I have to read Powerless now!💜

[@RachelCatherine]

[@TheLucyannaVIP]

I’m trying to decide do i read Powerless or Divine Rivals 🤔

[@kaya.graceee]

I’ve been DYING to see the other book besties read Powerless! It’s just soooooo good!

[@jadegillies1527]

Definitely leave time between keeping 13 and saving 6, also saving 6 and redeeming 6 are a lot sadder than binding and keeping 13

How do you sync the pages in book you left off in and audio. I never can figure out where I am.

[@rita.n.gouveia]

Do you think the english in Powerless is acessible for non native speakers? I already read some books in english (Reminders of him and the ihneritance games).

[@samyaahmed_]

[@hypnoticonmyhart]

Okay, so I think I need to go buy Powerless now. You've convinced me. Also, yes. You need to come to the States. But, like, can I hang out with you girlies too?
