Nice video and books! On my shelf, I have almost all of them (unread). Greetings from Brazil 😊

I'm excited for whatever you post! I LOVE thrifting my books! I have a library, but is 80% pre-loved books. Books make me feel whole! ❤️📚😃 YES ...Strange the Dreamer!!!

I've been watching and enjoying your videos. I came over on Shelly's recommendation. Subscribed. 😊❤📚 Loved The Vaster Wilds!! I just grabbed Demon Copperhead on Libby, thanks!!

A very nice video thank you I always watch your videos I subscribe to your KZbin channel I love reading books like you

Thank you for gifting us with this meaningful review. Ordinarily I would probably not have chosen these books. Now I am sure to give these a closer look should an encounter on a friendly bookstore will occur. Your book recommendation for an historical fiction suits me well. Hopefully this award and others like will continue to shed light on other deserving titles.

Hello there, fellow Bookworm. As for the question of which authors' books I pick up when they come out: Allan Gurganus, Steven Millhauser, Lydia Davis, Ali Smith, the critic James Wood, Kathleen Rooney (especially the poetry, but the prose fiction as well); and the moment Tobias Wolfe's novel finally comes out I will be the first to pick up a copy, as well as the final installment of Caro's LBJ biography, any book by music critic Alex Ross, and any book by Frances FitzGerald. Dozens of other writers befitting of this habit come to mind who have passed away in the last decade or so, but many still live!

Can anybody recommend a book similar to Hollow Kingdom for me? I just started to get back into reading daily and I absolutely love two major aspects of the series: 1) Storytelling from an animal's perspective; makes very simple gestures and moments extremely moving 2) Buxton's unique approach to the zombie virus With that being said, does anybody know of some books that feature either of these elements?

These all sound wonderful! I'm especially interested in Coleman Hill, Brotherless Night, and Birnam Wood. What a gift this shortlist is.

I have read Daughter, Brotherless Night and A History fo Burning. Daughter surprised me the most. I often lose patience with dysfunctional families but Caludia Dey did such a wonderful job with this story. It felt like a fresh take on a dysfunctional family. I am rooting for Brotherless Night to win.

I think I found out about the Carol Shield's Prize last year but didn't pay too much attention. This year I have been following more closely and have read some of the books and have more I want to read. I wish I knew more about the founding of the prize and how they lined up such a generous donor. It's pretty amazing!

I have only read Brotherless Night, which has become one of my favourites of the year so far. An excellent immersive gift of a book. 🎁

I finished Brotherless Night only last night. Stunning!

When did you first learn about the Carol Shields Prize?

Thank you for this. I got lucky and my local library had a copy of the Ganeshananthan. Really looking forward to it.

Always lovely to get your thoughts on these books, Hannah. "Daughter" and "Brotherless Night" added to my already groaning TBR list! Cheers!

Auto buy is Liz Nugent!

Hi Hannah! I'm looking forward to following your journey and learning from you!! Way back when, I started off studying literature in college, hearing you talk about the classics makes me want to dig out my old Norton and do some re-reading.

There's no way I'd read a Natalie Haynes book and not listen to her read it with me. She's so much fun!

Talking about a mixture of races , slavery was prohibited in United States, but it took more years for make it real here in Nicaragua, the grand- grandpa of my grandpa was brought from africa to work as a slave in the Cal industry factories in Nandaime, Granada , Nicaragua, that is not too far in time, if you think about it :( . So, i am Africa descendent from my Mom' s side, a native american Indio ( Nikirano, Chorotega ) from my father's father side and a Spanish Gitano ( Gypsy) from my father' s mother's side. Make me dizzy just to think about it . Ann :) Have you ever thougth of the opening a channel for audiobooks , please do it ( think about doing it) , your voice is so warm and so expresive , i would be the first one listening to your audiobooks everyday to go to sleep -_- , I would even sugest Red wall, and Salamandastrian , I think the autor is Brayan Jakes ... Thank you Ann :) you are so sweet , have a wonderful day .... Postdata: i lived in a war in my childhood here in Nicaragua, i grown up in scarcery , reading saved my life in so many ways. Back again in 2018 , the war came back from a few months ,reading, writing songs and listening to your book reviews certainly gave me the motivation I needed it . Thank you , you are a Queen , ...mmmm more like an elf Princess, a beautiful Elf Princess

Seeing your videos is so delightful and productive , i also used to listen the videos from your previows Channel , I Will check those today . Ana , I was wondering if you perhaps could do some videos about grammar , or maybe a different Channel , I know my English grammar is a mess, partly beccausse i learnt It by my self , but i want to improve that ( the correct use of "; " , "," etc . Please , I would appreciate It, but even if you can't , thank you so much Anna... Mmmm just one more question: Is It Ann, An , Anna or Ana ? , please keep Up with your Awesome videos , one more thing , i found two books yesterday : the Wizard of oz from Frank Baum and the Magic of Oz ( same writer ) , i LOVE go book haunting :)

I love Hollow Kingdom! So underrated, so glad to see you talk about it!

I own On the Savage Side after reading The Summer That Melted Everything. I'm looking forward to it. I also just reserved Irena Rey from my library. Jacob's Folly is a new one to me, but also sounds very different. I will keep that one in mind too. I thought your peach top was perfect for a Spring TBR video. It's beautiful.

Must have SCI-FI & FANTASY books 👇 kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5aZkHarg5eEhNk

I need these books for my shelter library ASAP

Loved the new Fallout show, although I've not played the games. I've played Borderlands, which is similar, I think? Hollow Kingdom is definitely going on the TBR. Not to be a bobblehead, but I'm one of the five people on the planet who didn't love Dark Matter. Radiance sounds interesting, too. (Curious, it's not SciFi, but your description of Radiance made me wonder: did you read Marisha Pessl's Night Film?)

I love Cassandra clare, shadow hunter series 12 books hope she will add more to the set. ❤❤

it's been 14 fucking years.......14 years and i still haven't got out of the forest of tom Bombadil

Never heard of Hollow Kingdom, but it sounds great! Definitely going to have to check it out. Dark Matter is a favorite of mine. I really should re-read it at some point. Project Hail Mary was so good! :) Thanks for sharing!! Great list! :)

One of the featured books is upside down. Is that because there's something off about it's characters? Or did I neglect to correct the footage? 😱🙃 We may never know...

Lovely video, AS ALWAYS! I need to read that series by Jonathan Straud, it sounds like something I'd love! I love having footnotes in a book :D

So many good reads, so little time

mistborn trilogy 😮‍💨

Thanks to your earlier recommendation I read Strange the Dreamer and you were right: it’s fantastic! This time I might take you up on your recommendation of The Amulet of Samarkand.

Hi Hannah! I love this theme - so fun! My own favorite bobblehead is Evelyn from The Mummy (“I’m, a librarian!”). I’m probably missing some, but here’s my first draft SFF shelter books: Strange the Dreamer duology (I’m cheating with series) by Laini Taylor Scholomance trilogy by Naomi Novik The Wayward Children series by Seanan McGuire The Hobbit and LOTR by Tolkien The Broken Earth trilogy by N.K. Jemisin Fangirl and Carry On books by Rainbow Rowell The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab Lore Olympus series by Rachel Smythe It by Stephen King The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins Thanks for sharing! Your recs made me look for Hollow Kingdom on audio. I own Radiance but haven’t gotten to it yet - Valente doesn’t always mesh with me.

Will definitely add The Last Unicorn to my TBR! Thank you for the recommendations, as always.

Hi Hannah, I've been pulling back from social media recently, but I'm glad to see a video from you. I remember when Hollow Kingdom came out but I passed my copy on to a Bobblehead friend without reading it and now I wish I had hung on to it. I loved Weir's The Martian and Project Hail Mary was a good follow-up. And LOTR is my classics read for the final three months this year. I struggled with The Hobbit three times and then finally loved it. This will be my first time with LOTR.

I wish I had a bobblehead of one of the three characters from the show, such as Goosey, but I settled for adding Hollow Kingdom to my library TBR 😎 I really liked the show, but what really surprised me was how often I laughed. I guess if I had to come up with a list of SFF to take with me, some of the ones at the top would be: Notes From the Burning Age by Claire North, A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness, Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut, and Remote Control by Nnedi Okorafor

Great List! I think mine would have to be (in no particular order): The Blacktongue Thief by Christopher Buehlman Legend by David Gemmell Pawn of Prophecy by David Eddings Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss Kings of the Wyld by Nicolas Eames Slewfoot by Brom Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir A Dowry of Blood by Gibson S.T. Magician by Raymond E. Fiest

Hello. Thank you for the recommendations. Hollow Kingdom sounds interesting but I am a bit scared of animals being hurt... Strange the Dreamer looks good too. Might have to replace the Tolkien with Frank Herbert in my shelter though. I don't dislike Tolkien but I have always preferred the Dune universe. Can you get a Frank Herbert bobblehead I wonder?

How's life in the Vault treating you? And what must have books await in your fallout shelter?

Great video. I'm adding a couple of these to my TBR list for sure
