i’m asking for one for christmas for very similar reasons to you (especially that bezos comment😂) and have been watching a ton of reviews, i love how concise and clear yours is! i’ve never had an e reader, only briefly used my mom’s kindle way back when they first came out and really didn’t like it then, but the newer ones look so great, especially from kobo! i’ve been looking into one lately as i have severe migraines but love to read, and can’t read physical books much any more & heard e ink is easy on the eyes i did have one question, does it have a textured screen, like a “paper like” screen protector would? i really don’t love that feeling and am curious if i should plan to buy a glass screen protector to cover it or not (i’m aware that could add glare, id mostly be using it in near pitch black settings so it wouldn’t be an issue for me)

loooove nettle and bone! but i’ve had a similar experience with the others

I’ve been going back and forth on trying Ex Hex and you convinced me! LOVED Very Irregular Society and Long Way

I’m so glad you ended up loving nettle & bone!!! It’s one of my favorites that I’ve read lately. I’m too much of a coward to read her horror stuff, though, and I’m a little glad I didn’t feel talked into trying them by the video 😋

I’ve heard that if you keep the wifi off on the kindle you don’t get ads! Not sure how true that is tho

I ordered the same case!

I just got the Kobo Libra Colour and I love it! Also, thank you for letting me know it has a collections feature, I completely skipped that and didn't notice it lol. Edit: Just requested on Storygraph, great reading taste!

Great vlog. Another author i wanna check out. ☕📚🦇👻🍂🍁🎃

OMG I got my KLC yesterday and also struggled with the box for the cover! So glad I'm not the only one :D Hope you love your KLC! The yellow cover is gorgeous - I got the green (also stunning!)

I got a kobo Clara BW and black sleep cover, and I'm pretty satisfied with it!

What is the name of the song in the background?

I subbed and do you have instagram? 📚☕

I have the white kobo yellow case like yours and black stylus. I love it! The stylus attaches to the cover so you don’t need a holder.

Been a kobo girl since i first began e-reading and pre ordered both colour devices on pre order for my bf and i ❤️ they were great for our long flight to japan in june!

I love mine got it early for Christmas I got black one

My main concern is whether the screen is a bit too faded/low contrast text. Some say it has that issue but when you show it to camera it doesn’t look bad

Im not sure what you said about Bezos but I got the gist and likely agree 😂

Great review! This made me want to switch to kobo. My kindle has been hanging on for over a decade now though…

Kindle has ads?! That's insane

Enjoy I have this kobo with the stylus. I love it but I hope in the future they can make it with sharper images.

I have always used PocketBooks. In 2024, I bought an Amazon Paperwhite 11th generation and fell in love with it. And I love it because of the ads. I would never find those great books myself. So, for me, ads are a plus. What I don't like about Kobo Libra is the design of the device and the white color of it.

You should have waited a little bit more....They are releasing White stylus

That's a Lovely kobo❤ Where did you order it from? Amazon?

How big is the screen from left to right and up and down with the border? It looks like it is about 5 inches long by 4 inches.

cool glasses

I have never heard of The husbands! Will be checking it out

Lovely vid, and great idea. I like the sound of The Husbands too.

I got a kobo a few years back (with a similar pink case) and I love it. I like that you can hold it in either hand and the screen automatically rotates so I can use buttons with my other hand if my arm gets tired. There are also achievements and little badges you can earn. Not super involved but is another fun way to see how you've been reading 😊

I love this idea haha

Your glasses are 🔥

Ooo this is a really interesting list to me because I think mine would be so different! I remember "Brave New World" traumatizing me lol. You have me interested in checking out The Jungle though! Great video, I'd love a followup to this heart❤ And your dog snoozing is so adorable.

I have no idea why you don't have more subscribers but I really enjoyed this!! I've read about half of these, and now I'm even more excited to read the others you mentioned (Know My Name, Crying in H Mart). I also can't wait to hear what you think of Her Body and Other Parties. I adore Carmen Maria Machado! If you are interested in comics, she wrote The Low, Low Woods also.

Bro I was so stressed for you 😭 so cute that your husband seems bewildered but supportive 🖤

Also we need a husband cam. Just a close up camera with a fish eye lens

How many books do you own that start with guests full of wagons arriving?

Books mentioned: 1. Metamorphosis - Franz Kafka 2. The Jungle - Upton Sinclair 3. Brave New World - Aldous Huxley 4. Frankenstein - Mary Shelley 5. The Secret Garden - Frances Hodgson Burnett 6. Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen 7. The Hobbit - J.R.R. Tolkien

I don't know if any of you are interested in figure skating, but Gracie Gold's memoir was alright. Here if You Need Me by Kate Braestrup is about a widow who becomes a UU search and rescue chaplain. It was touching.

I hardly ever read cosy books so this was a useful list, thank you!

The Hobbit and the LOTR is my go to cozy comfortable reads for cold weather. I will wear my oversized warm stay home clothes. Get into a comfortable chair or couch and loose myself into the fantasy that is Tolkien. You highlighted some interesting books for yourself. Thank you -James

I don't really read Sci-fi but when I do it is The Path To Savagery by Robert Edmond Alter. Published 1969. It's about one man's attempt to survive the clannish horrific post Nuclear war world. I enjoy your videos so I subscribed. Thank you -James

Being older I haven't read any of these memiors. But they do sound very interesting. My current favorite memior is an older release by Louis L'amour titled Education of a Wandering Man. Where he details how he pretty much self educated himself and became the most popular writer of Western novels. I enjoyed this video. -James

Here's my favorite memoirs The great peace by mena suvari High on arrival by Mackenzie Phillips Not my father son by alan cumming his first memoir Brave by rose McGowan This is me by chrissy Metz Pageboy by elliot page I have the right to by chessy prout

I really was inspired reading know my name jennette mccurdy memoir was good and so heartbreaking If your looking for recommendations In pieces by sally field Lucky me by sachi parker Miss memory lane by colton Haynes The wild truth by carine mccandless Not my father son by alan cumming High on arrival by Mackenzie Phillips

I love memoirs from people whose life experiences are completely, utterly different from mine. This might not be up your alley, but I read one called Ranger Confidential, about a woman's experience being a park ranger in a couple of American national parks; and just recently I read Touching the Void, a survival story about a mountain climbing accident - the mental and physical toil described is so vivid and unnerving.

Ah I love that you mentioned you plan to read Born a Crime, I wanted to recommend it! I liked Smoke Gets in Your Eyes. I should try the McCurtie book next!

Loved this vid, i definitely will be adding these to my list :)

Crying in H Mart really recontextualised my relationship with my mother, it is a beautiful and devastating read

Ok so it's not a memoir but The Autobiography of Malcolm X is honestly one of my favorite books of all time. I was soooo intimidated by the amount of pages this book has but it's so good, I sometimes take it off my shelves to re-read certains parts.

Hey! First time seeing one of your videos, I really liked the way you summarized the plots and definitely made me want to check out these books, will be watching more!
