Can you do finishing all the book series I’m in the middle of please?
Kingdom of Ash is amazing!! Just power through the boring parts, it's one of my favs in the series 🫡💜
SO GLAD YOU'RE READING THE THRONE OF GLASS SERIES! i hope you're loving it so far❤
i’m excited to watch girl!👏🏽💗 i’ve been slacking with my reading this year😭
Reading titles like that makes me feel like I'm slacking. I've only read six so far this year, about to start on the seventh.
wow, same numbers here! i get that feeling, i’ve been in such a slump so far this year! hopefully gonna get past it soon!
You're definitely not slacking! I have an unnatural amount of time to read because KZhead is my full time job haha
@Addylovesbooks I think my problem is that I read along with the audiobooks, so I have to wait until I can buy them to read. If I free read, I'd probably have more books down, but that's my system. Also, the books I read are Stephen King books, so...
@JustAli so it is as I expected. You do have too much time. Jokes asides, I'm currently writing a book I plan on publishing. If it does, would you consider reading it? It'd mean a lot, but I understand if you can't.
@@TheEmeraldSword86I'd gladly be your first reader 🤝
Thats amazing ive only read 9 books so far this year but for me thats amazing considering how many slumps ive been in since December ❤❤❤❤❤ thank you for a great video i love wrap up videos and love seeing your opinions on books ❤❤❤
I just finished Butcher and Blackbird a few days ago and I had so much fun with it. That last scene with Lachlan and Sloane got me super excited to get the sequel! I've read the first 2 books in the Dreamland Billionaire series and really enjoyed them. I want to reread TOG just to see if I'd like the tandem read. I adore the series so it wouldn't be hard for me to give them a reread. I hope you have an enjoyable reading year!✨
Yay! A Throne of Glass reading vlog! I would love full spoilers ❤
This is the first video I’ve ever seen of yours and I’m honestly so happy I found your channel! I subscribed. FINALLY I’ve found someone that has similar book taste as I do. 🌷
You should do a video where you review the entire Elsie Silver series! I've read flawless and powerless and LOVED flawless!! Thinking abt rereading it soon!
had to give a like just for the cat in the background
So proud of you Ali! You read amazing beautiful books so far this year! 🪻💘💜💜💜🪻🪻💘🌈🌈💖❣️🧡🌹🧡💙🫶🏻🌷🌻💚💙🦋🦋🌺🪷🪻🥀🌹🌹🌹🥀🌸🌸🌸🌻🌞🌸🌸🌸🌹🥀🪻🪷🌷🌷🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈📚📙📙📙📙📚📚📚📙📙📖📖📖📖🩷🩷🩷🧡💛💚💚🧡❤️
i’m so excited for you to read the six of crows duology - please do a reading vlog for them!!
I love your videossss❤
I've read 37 books this year already! I just finished the Broken Wings duet by SE Wendel and oh heavens, it's PERFECTION. I'm also finding a lot of great authors I enjoy and books I wouldn't normally have picked up.
wow, that’s wonderful! happy reading!!
@@Addylovesbooks Thanks! I haven't read this much since my undergrad. What books have you liked as of late?
@@Kay-wp8xf i’m such a fantasy girl so i have been into the fable series recently, and i started lightlark today! the opening of it seems very good so im excited!
@@Addylovesbooks Nice! Then you may like Aerie - it's very much a fantasy, but it leans into the romantasy side. I also really love fantasy, so I'll have to check that out!!
@@Kay-wp8xf oooh i’ll have to check it out, it sounds good!!
I love you Ali sooooooooo much loves your videos keep going girl I’ll support you always
I binged the entire Darkverse series because of you giving it 5 stars and wow. I ended up giving every book in the series 5 stars which I thought was impossible. They just keep getting better. Thanks for the great rec ❤
All your videos are amazing I love how confident you are and you are so pretty and I love your red hair
i love throne of glass sm!!
She's literally looking like real life Elsa💙btw love ur vids
Hi Ali! ❤️ I love that we both read Ruin and Rising in March😊 im surprised you didn't like Siege and Storm as much. Shadow and Bone was kinda crusty for me, I enjoyed it but it didn't blow my mind and not the greatest fantasy ever. Siege and Storm (Nikolai and the twins😁) was a game changer and fell in love with the entire series, with Ruin and Rising ending beautifully. I am so excited to start Six of Crows too since i've only heard GREAT things about it
I read Love, Theoretically this week because I saw it in one of your videos and omg! I gave it 5 stars and I've never given a contemporary romance anything above 3.5!!! It really took me by surprise tbh
I really want to read Love, Theoretically but I wasn't sure but after hearing Ali's review it's going on my tbr!🙂
I looooveee your videos ❤❤
Your editing ❤
I read 25 books as well whooo congrats to us!!! Butcher and black bird was hilarious and very descriptive, I enjoyed listening to the audio book, it just felt like I was listening to a show, I enjoyed it. Loved your video!!! i love your opinions and your energy.
Starting this April I have read 36 so far this year. I am 6 books ahead of schedule on Goodreads. I am trying to read 120 this year! I read 118 last year!
Thank you! I felt like I was the only person who didn’t like Tomorrow, Tomorrow and Tomorrow. I completely agree with you on this one!
I love this video!! i been dying to read Butcher&Blackbird. I so agree with the College Romance they are so comforting lol. I also have a book rec for you!!! I think you will like Lightlark: Alex Aster and King of Sins Series: Ana Huang. Also right now I have read at least read 70 books lol.
my day just got better🥰🫶🏼🩷
I’m so proud cuz I’m like comparatively new to reading and with the finals and school stuff I’ve managed to read 27 books in the past three months!!
New subscriber here!! Love your hair btw ❤
Wow ali thats amazing that youve read so many books ! Ive only read 4 books this year 😭
Throne of glass vlog yayyyyyyy
I’ve read 14 books this year (I’m way behind on my GoodReads goal). The last book I finished was Six of Crows. I’m currently in the middle of Red Queen, The Kiss of Deception, and These Violent Delights.
Hey ali ❤can you recommend some dark romances series please
I'm so excited for you to read Beyond The Wand by Tom Felton and can't wait to hear your thoughts!! And also, I love your videos so much!!
Love & gelato is a great romance/mystery!! I def recommend
Though I have only read 4 books this year, I feel like I have read a lot because I started this year with the folk of the air series
I loved the Mindfu*k series so I definitely need to read Butcher & Blackbird
25 is amazing 😮❤ I've read 7 books so far this year. Right on track with my "24 books in 2024" goal! I just knew I'm gonna have a busy year and don't wanna stress myself out with unrealistic goals for my hobbies 😂
I feel so seen !!! Felt the same way about tomorrow tomorrow and tomorrow 😢
Not even gonna lie I’ve been reading Anne of Green Gables and I imagine, and as Ali literally they look like the exact same like Ali reminds me of Anne.
Yessss, i was thinking the same thing!
I just finished butcher and blackbird and it ordered the mindfuck series on Amazon and I’m so excited!! Similar to you I love love in books but also love a dark character/storyline so I love romance and thrillers and I’ve recently gotten big into dark romance, when I heard the mindfuck series was a combination of all those things I had to get it heheh I’m so excited!!! Also I’m so glad you’ve been having a great reading year, you’re crushing it!🤍
OMG! I loved spare so much one of my favorite books and so this is love too 💜💜❣️🧡💓💕💓🩵💖🩵❤️💙💙💚🩷📙📙📚🌷🌷🌹🪻🌸🌹🌻🌻🌞🦋🫶🏻🌺🪷🌷🌈💚💚🩷💘💚🩵💜❣️🧡💓💛📙📙
Girl I love your videos so much, I know so people might leave some kind paragraphs but this is the one that I hope means the most ❤ I recently have been reading more bc of you and ur channel u have motivated me to read more, I have shared some videos with my friends and they LOVE U (I hope u don’t take this in a weird way lol) I hope u find this well, as I am 12 I just started ready the summer I turned pretty my Jen Han I think that’s the author idk but I love it and love watching your videos you seem like a very nice person and very kind ❤❤
Btw Katherine Centers new book Rom-Commers comes out June 11 and Hannah and Jack Stapleton from the bodyguard have a cameo in it. This new book is a interconnected stand alone with the bodyguard.
I need to read Butcher & Blackbird so badly
Ali makes me want to read
If you liked the first few books of Throne of glass you should read RED RISING!! I would say it's more fantasy than sci-fi but gives hunger games on Mars
i've read 18 books this year while being an ib senior in high school
Can you read "Everything, everything" by Nicola Yoon? I would like to know your thoughts on the book
Have you ever read Midnighters; the secret hour? I would recommend that book trilogy
You should read we were liars and family of liars i really liked them
I DNF’d Tomorrowx3 two separate times lol tried to read physically and also audibly at two completely different times and I was just so bored. I made it over halfway through both times too.
THRONE OF GLASS GIRLIES HAVE ARRIVED ❤️🔥
I read Ruin and Rising 2 years ago and I remember I Dnf'd it because i thought it was so bad lol
I highly recommend Marrow by Tarryn Fisher for a morally gray vigilante story. It tests your sanity & morality for sure, and has wonderful writing.
Currently struggling to decide my 13th read lol 😭😭
Just Ali you need to spoiled us with 3 days of videos like Alexa Rey just did. Please
I didn’t live Tomorrowx3 either!
I’ve read 11 so far
Is it possible to read terms and conditions without reading the fine print?? I’ve heard mostly bad things about the first book but the series in general appeals to me for some reason 😅
Yes I HATED the first book but loved the second just skip it for sure
I loved Spare. I am not comfortable rating memoirs though. It feels like judging the person and their truth. There are always 2 sides in a conflict, but he can only write his own feelings and point of view.
I’ve read 30 so far I’m very happy
Oh my good nice
me too! Im happy, Im 5 books in to my reading year! Im so happy! OMG NO Im waiting for t, t, t and t because people who read audio books on Libby are super SLOW!
Another mafia book you should read is Sinners Annonymous!!!
I'm so annoyed with myself, my reading goal this year is 25 books and Ali's read my goal in 3 months.😅😂
I think its funny how in February all the covers are red and black 😂
I really glad it was just me who didn’t like tomorrow tomorrow and tomorrow.
How are you
I’m on my 15th book of the year I’m 11😂
You know the hooked book he supposed to be a villain and not the nice guy right
Why you don't care about Mal and Alina
I need help this year. I know it sounds fake but I've read 94 books this year and its an addiction. Like I read all the time reading almost a book a day. I need sleep and I need help 😭
Omg! How did you do that? I mean how many hours a day do you spend reading? And how many books did you read last year??
@@Mominafahim my main reading time is in the night so I'll be reading from like 9 till whenever I fall asleep depending on the day and then I also wake up at 5 in mornings and I continue reading so that can sometimes let me finish a whole book if its a shorter one. I've got college on weekdays and so I dont really read during that time atleast until around half 3 which is when I usually continue reading just because. Last year I definitely did not read this many books. At this moment in time I've read 107 which is a big jump from the original comment but I've got holidays right now.
@@Jimminybillbob13 wow, Great to hear you are not in a reading slump like me. Happy reading!
hon, love your videos, but jsyk, harry's book has been proven to have lots of incorrect information, like where he was when his grandma died, there are pics of him with his father and brother skiing, plus people used to say William was closer to Diana and Harry to Charles, so idk, I'm half-British and I do like Meghan, but Harry's allegedly lying his teeth off and he loves speaking of privacy for him and his family but he has no problem exposing others like Courtney cox, the girl he lost his virginity to and others... just saying this so you don't believe everything he said, if you don't believe me, I guarantee you, a 5min google research will show you at least 10 lies or at least how the Queen said: recollections may vary...
i did 25 in less than a week, come on people, ain’t no way a mexican immigrant reads more than y’all.
amazing
I thoughts I was doing well with my 10 books so far but I got humbled with this video 🥲
apart from acomaf, koa is the only book i wish i could read for the first time again 🥲good luck 🫶🏻
