    Not only 5 books being written by men lol We stan our misandrist queen
  • @PokhrajRoy.
    The fact that youโ€™re going to have a literary agent and a novel is such good news. All the best!
  • @grmgt
    It's great to hear you used the word "g3noc1d3". No roundabouts, no attempts at covering. Glad to see an american creator take a firm stance on this!

    i'm sorry 2023 was so rough for you. i went through antidepressant withdrawals for a while too and i know that alone is hell on earth. 2024 will be your year, manifesting this so hard for you โค
  • @trinaq
    I wonder why Colleen Hoover has to think of cringy names for her characters. "Ryle" makes me think that she wanted to go with "Kyle", but thought that Ryle would be more memorable, possibly because he gets "riled up" too easily?

    here for the library love! I work at my local library and I hope more people start singing the public library's praises! also StoryGraph has baller stats AND isn't owned by Amazon for anyone wanting to get TF off Goodreads
  • @gavisbarbie
    Hey Cindy, it sucks to hear how badly 2023 treated you, just wanted to let you know that your videos are always a highlight for me. I always save them for my relaxation time, and when I need a laugh I rewatch old ones.Youu inspired me to get back into reading and to be more aware of the topics you bring up so thank you, and I'm manifesting better vibes in 2024 ^^
  • @12makbe
    One of the reasons I like Storygraph over goodreads for reviews/books is because I'm a data nerd and their info-graphics are *chefs kiss*. Also their reading challenges! Beyond just a yearly goal
  • @pizzadogma
    I can relate to the friendship breakup ๐Ÿ’”its so rough when people u think will be there for u during hard times are so quick to drop u like a hot potato
  • @Mohammadzabuasi
    Friendships break ups are the worst- still dealing from one 2 years later but I feel like Iโ€™m so close to healing from it!! I hope you have a wonderful 2024! Also greetings from Palestine!! watching your videos keeps my mind at rest when I need it ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป
  • @readingwarlock
    You know itโ€™s true love when Cindyโ€™s axing books left and right but still pushes through with them Barbarians ๐Ÿ’•
  • @pikitat
    I love how openly you advocate for using the library. It surprises me how few of my friends and coworkers utilize the library! Me and my family are all big readers and I regularly save at least $1,000 per year by using the library instead of buying books. The first thing I do when I move somewhere new is get a card at the local library. โค I hope 2024 is a much better year for you, too!
  • @vinny_s
    2023 as a reading year was a flop for me AND 2024 is starting off the same! Funnily enough it's the only thing keeping me together lmao
  • @aeriselove
    I love these paintings in the background! And the book news??? Letโ€™s go!!!
  • @leviscozyworld
    Putting your vids on while I cook/clean in the kitchen is the highlight of my night
  • @kajielin4354
    Holy fuck I'm just glad you're still alive and wish you all the best for this year! Your videos are a great help for me and I am looking forward to your book!
  • @Blackdecay
    Hey Cindy, I almost never write comments but I felt the inclination now (probably bc I'm a little drunk rn). First of all, I'm sorry that your 2023 year sucked. I don't know of course what exactly was going on, but I'm positive that you will manage to get through it and that things will light up for you again. I also wanted to write this comment bc I wanted to let you now that I'm really thankful for all the videos you've posted. Even when you were struggling yourself. idk what the hell is going on right now, but I'm having kind of a hard time, and what has been helping me throughout this is watching and also rewatching your videos. I've been watching you for such a long time now, it's been really ... idk how to say this, but like, helpful for me to watch you go through different stages of life, at least from what you shared with us. I still remember when you first said you were straight. But then, in 2022 you kind off alluded to the fact of being queer, until coming out eventually. Seeing that has really helped me myself. I mean, I knew I was queer since I was fourteen, but it's been really hard to accept that about myself ever since, and seeing you share this part of yourself on your chanel after I've already been watching you for years, has really helped me. ๐Ÿ˜ข and sometimes when I struggle with my own depression, I remember that you do too at times, and you're still pulling through, posting content and slaying and all. And that really helpes. So yeah, I guess all I wanted to say with this cringe comment was that I'm really thankful for the fact that you keep it real and that you keep sharing content with us. Also, I loved seeing the visual insight on the novel. Your novel writing series is kind off my favorite on this channel and it's so interesting to see how you envision it, after I've myself been piercing the little sprinkles of information you shared with us over the years.

    Hereโ€™s hoping 2024 is indeed our year ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ
