When I saw Never Let Me Go (my fave book) as your fave in the last 2 years I took my note and a pen out, I knew you were going to drop gems

these books all sound so interesting!! loved hearing you talk about them, definitely adding a bunch to my tbr 💙 I read I Who Have Never Known Men this year too and also haven’t stopped thinking about it

I see we both are on the same page with I Who Have Never Known Men & I love that for us. Hopefully you enjoy the ones you've added to your TBR!

I Who Have Never Known Men was definitely one of my faves of the year, too! I found you on Tik Tok this year and was so stoked when you started making YT vids as I love long-form content. Just wanted to say thanks for all of the amazing recs this year and cheers to next year’s amazing reads, Athena 🥂✨

re: My Brilliant Friend, habe you ever watched Novecento (1900) by Bertolucci? it sounds very similar

I love your videos so so much and I love your voice but it’s hard to listen to long form videos because the sound is not so great. Would you please consider getting a mic? ❤

I'm currently looking into some & plan to get a mic soon! I appreciate you for watching and supporting ❣

There were so many of these books I have on my TBR. I have read the glass castle and also gave it 5 stars. Have you read The Humans. My favorite book of all times.

You should also a recommendations video for the books you love in the genre that speaks or details the "Human Condition"..... (Personally that's my main choice of reading)

The original little women film with Winona Ryder and Christian bale is light years better to me , the music the setting the characters are just so cozy and delicious. It’s interesting hearing the different opinions. For me there is no comparison but have heard a lot of people liking the newer one as well. Great video ! Thanks for sharing ❄️

i've seen this prompt everywhere and i'm too much of a control freak to allow this for myself. i always know which book i'm in the mood for and this would ruin my life.
