Ohhhhh Just Like Mother! That's on my TBR and it fits the Buzzwordathon prompt for August! Imma have to get it in next month.

11/22/63 was a fast read despite the size of it! I really liked it on audio!

I would try Hamlet or Othello. Othello is fun and tragic IMO because Iago is just so EVIL. Also, reading it as Iago is gay and in love with Othello gives it an interesting twist. I was a high school teacher for 16 years and would love to give you my TpT unit on Hamlet if you're interested! I've been a fan of your work for a few years now. Can't wait for your 10th grade plan videos to come out!

I did the same thing, the binding bothered my so much and it has to go. Wish they came in spiral binding option.

I've just finished it after reading part 1. Incredible book. I wish I read it sooner.

This was awesome…added most of them to my cart😃 looking forward to more in this series. TFS

Seriously so mad Hulu dumped kindred.

I didn't realize that Legendborn was a retelling!! I love dystopian. Like...so much. I am finding I am especially fond of dystopian books written awhile that feel like they could have been written today. Like Parable of the Sower and Feed.

I really loved this! So interesting!

I slightly regret not participating this year. ☠️😅 Excellent vlog! You tackled a lot of books! I’m impressed! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Ordinary Monsters sounds amazing, I'm so excited to read that one! The God of Endings also sounds very promising, and I live in upstate NY. I don't think I've read anything with vampires since True Blood, haha. I think I'm too disturbed by reality to read a book about reproductive dystopia right now

Oooh I’m excited…all of them sound wonderful. Great picks❤

I love a thick fantasy book and you've picked two?? These are exciting picks! I'm looking forward to reading your Louise Erdrich pick. I was unaware she wrote adult books, but we love her Birchbark House series.

All three books are currently on BookOutlet!

Emily where did you pick up your copies? I noticed the 50% off stickers 😜

Hamlet!!! Also, agree about Dry but still really liked it!

This is fun! I need to get to the Grady Hendrix books. I enjoy his writing!

We love the No Fear Graphic Novels, I grabbed all of them for Bella.

Good job hitting at the prompts!! Maeve Fly is one of my faves but then again, I’m a big horror reader who loves Disneyland and tiki bars sooooo I’m def the target audience 😂 Fantasticland surprised me - it was gruesome for a book about interviews after the fact 😮

Hi! Long time watcher, first time commenter. I’m an English teacher (currently 8th grade but have taught Kindergarten, 6th-8th, and 11th & 12th). I’m also a long time lover of Shakespeare- Macbeth is one of my top five favorites and we study it every October/November. I have been at an all girls school for a few years now and they love it more than any mixed gender class I’ve ever taught. I love it for the witches but the murders are fun too. :) She might enjoy Titus Andronicus as a 10th grade read. It’s the most brutal of his plays and my favorite Shakespeare of all time. It’s so brutal it often gets ignored for production these days but it’s well worth the read. Julius Cesar might be a good fit too. Not so many murders or vengeance themes but that betrayal is pretty gut wrenching. Hamlet is pretty fun story wise but he’s such a whiner…might not want to follow the Macbeth power couple up with all that melancholia. I’ll be excited to see what you do choose. Thanks for your channel. I get a lot of inspiration for book pairings and further reading recommendations for my girls from all the work you do here.

Ooh I just read The Eyes Are the Best Part and really liked it!

Yesssss adding a bunch to my reading list too!

Thanks for the great tips

Now I want to redo all our history plans for next year! 😂

Thanks for all the great suggestions! They really revived my reading list!

The last few pages in each book has all of the source materials he suggests we read.

I love the idea of Morbid History, especially with a medical/science tie in. I can't wait to see what you pull together for that!

Ohhh, another Laurel Hightower. I'm gonna have to see if I can find it. I just read Crossroads by her and I really enjoyed it!

I definitely want to read AJ Jacobs book - The Year of Living Constitutionally!!! It's on my wishlist. I purchased How to Survive History just last month!! Added the Dr Mutter Biography to my wishlist as well. I love History and also Memoirs & Biographies and I get so many good suggestions from you. You buy the most INTERESTING books Emily!! Thank you!!

I wholeheartedly agree that just the fact that you are a woman doesn't mean that you cannot be lying....I don't believe any person should just be believed without any kind of proof whatsoever and I know there are some situations where proof can be near impossible but I just do not like the thought that people can go to jail or worse based only on someone else's words. That terrifies me.

I think the problem we have the opposition of views in today's society(and honestly it has probably always been this way but the ease of how people can insert themselves now is ridiculous) is that way too many people think that their opinions or thoughts are important lol....like your thoughts/opinions/view points/decisions are yours to make for yourself but only yourself....every other person also has the right to theirs alone....no one person is so important that they have the right to tell someone else what they should do or feel or be but it seems like too many people seem to think they for some reason are just so amazing and almighty that they have the right to impose themselves and dictate these things for others

How can I join this book club? I’m in one now but I’m not really loving the book selections so far. Thanks!

Friend, that's so many books. So many books. I'm gonna make Nestlings and Episode Thirteen (measurement! for buzzwordathon!) happen for sure. I am not confident on what the rest of my reading will look like other than I've started Killers of the Flower Moon so that will be included for sure!

I spent this past week reading the Wayward Children series, and finalizing my Summerween TBR. I too, ended up with what might be a delusional TBR for July. My Summerween TBR includes; Something read in the dark: Diavola by Jennifer Thorne Horror or thriller: Tender Is The Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica Title with five or more words: What Lies In The Woods by Kate Alice Marshall Takes place in summer: A House At The Bottom Of A Lake by Josh Malerman Night sky cover: You're Not Supposed To Die Tonight by Kalynn Bayron I added two anthologies that may or may not get included in the week of Summerween; Queer Little Nightmares and The Black Girl Survives In This One My Book Club Picks include As Long As The Lemon Tree Grows by Zoulfa Katouh and Middle of the Night by Riley Sager And I have this months Buzzwordathon pick and last months I didn't get to, which adds Half Soul by Olivia Atwater and Knock, Knock, Open Wide by Neil Sharpson. Keeping with the Summer vibes, I added Fantastic Land to by August TBR though, so I can't wait to see your own thoughts on it!

This was a great discusion! I've unfortunantly had to work the past two book club days, but I'll be with you all next month. I'm still reading with you in the meantime, and had sooo many thoughts on this book - but rage was the perfect word on this one.

This was a great discussion. So many of us have those thoughts but do not have a community where said ideas or possible resources can be discussed.

What was the title of the book you read a few months ago that talked about a president making America great again. The author has passed. It was written in the 1980s I think. Her name started with an O . Olivia maybe or Oveda? She wrote a sequel too but you wasn’t ready for it because the other book blew you away. I thought I had it saved in my Amazon but I can’t find it. Thank you!

Hello fellow book adventurer! I've been questioning if I want to do the midyear book freakout tag, so while viewing some others, I found your channel! You mentioned a few books that I'm really interested in! Horror movie seems absolutely perfect for halloween. And the fact that there is a book connected to buffy 😮. Added so many books to my tbr haha Delighted that I found you and Subscribed to keep up with the wonderful recommendations 😊

Thank you so much for making a video! These look like great resources

Just requested the library buy Ash's Cabin because of this. That looks very much my brand of book. I've had Bury Your Gays preordered on Libro for a bit. now. I am SO excited!

Do you think The Tenth Mistake of Hank Hooperman is too low of a reading level for a 14 year old boy? My son is pretty immature and probably only reads right at grade level, so I wondered if it may work for him. I think he'd be interested in the story

I seldom manage to read books when they first come out unless it's something specific I'm waiting for, it takes me a while to hear about them and I guess I'm kind of waiting to see whether other people like them or not. How do you find out about new releases? Are they recommended to you by something like good reads or are you looking through a particular online source?

Is it the history of "Maria" like...her life ?? I would be interested in that !!

I never buy book two, unless i read book one because if I didn't like book one chances are I wont like book two .

Nestlings sounds like an amazing read! 🖤

Found my link for the Election Unit Study! Smallie is EXACTLY the right age for it this year.

Thank you! I’m checking into these books!

Can you link the Unit Study? I'm having trouble finding it.

Just found your channel, and I completely relate to your comments about IT and Stephen King --- I read so much King in middle school, and it was definitely not age appropriate. I am also still afraid of clowns. 🤣 But I do still enjoy horror. I love Andy Serkis as an audiobook narrator, too - I want him to narrate all of the books!

If you enjoyed Nestlings, you absolutely need to get to Mary. He writes women so well. I was so impressed with his representation of a woman “of a certain age.”
