I love The Great Gatsby and, while not an English classic, Anna Karenina

JRR Tolkien has a translation of sir Gaiwan and the green knight. The aspect of translating a work Definitely influence the LOTR even if the story did not

I loved this video! I hope to see more like it. I also have a channel to review books: www.youtube.com/@SpencerReadsEverything I mostly focus on new stuff, but I appreciated your video.

I absolutely love John Steinbeck and if Grapes of wrath is to intimidating in size I would suggest you read In Dubious battle!

LOVED THIS! Really interesting mix of classics here. Am genuinely fascinated by the lesser known ones, hope to pick some of these up soon!

I loved Hamnet!

Do you have the James patterson Teen Novels : maximum ride and alex scarrow. Time riders?

About to read these books again

This list gave me so much ✨️nostalgia✨️ I love it! (I promise I'll definitely read ToG soon! 😅)

Plenty in your library to get stuck into. Best wishes with what you choose to read and to your channel. I'm reading the Count of Monte Cristo. I might be some time!

Nice library. Hope you are reading something good. Best wishes.

The fact that the series now has a graphic novel , grimore , prequel , and a screenplay coming out soon , is just amazing .

Welcome to booktube 📚☕

There’s a sequel now - iron flame You should definitely read that, and there’s meant to be a third book in December! Edit: I forgot to mention but Fireborne is also probably one you’d like

Check out Cracking Ibiza this year if you fancy a quick, fun read. 🙂

The music!

By the end of next year I WILL have read at least up to book 4 of ToG 😅

☺

Do you have The Body Snatchers by Robert Louis Stevenson?

📚🎉 You are convincing me to add way more books than physically possible to my already overcrowded shelves & TBR 😅 Loved this content!

Huh, is that who Amarantha's sister is named after? I saw your book, Clytemnestra? I was laughing at that horrific name yesterday. Maybe thats where Nesta comes from too? I was listening to "cari can read" summarize the book ACOTAR to try to understand why people love these so much... Im still not sure i understand but im probably just a little too old for fairies (and maybe fantastical love stories too...)

You and your shelf are both gorgeous!❤

Great video i also read weyward and what moves the dead in October I loved both of them ❤

I clicked on this video cause your smile looks so inviting and I'm glad I did. You're so likable!

The White Princess by Philippa Gregory The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory

Pumpkin heads is such a cute read!! I read it once but I see why you read it all the time, it's such a cute story. I'm thinking of ending things is an excellent book, the ending always blows my mind!! Great recs!!👻

👻👻👻💞👍🏾

13:05 The authors who blurb books have probably not even read the ARC. I mean, sometimes they are sent an ARC but sometimes only the first chapter or even just a synopsis. Their opinion might be valid, if they are familiar with the author's work, but I would be careful about choosing a book based solely on a blurb.

I’m sending you love (:

The sections on ancient Rome & Greece are actually Loeb Classical Library editions of the Classics. Still an impressively large selection.

Cracking Ibiza is one you may like - uplifting and fun!

Hi Jade!! The Starless Sea is definitely one of my Top Ten books, even though just thinking of picking (only) 10 freaks me out!!😅Some of the lines just floored me completely. As so many of the books you like i identify with, i´ll leave you with a recommendation, The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy. i´ve read it many years ago and it always stayed with me. 💜

Pandora's Jar was my first 5☆ of the year! I've heard a lot of people talk about Emily Henry and the way you described it is the first time I'm interested. My 2 faves last month were Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao and She Who Became the Sun by Shelly Parker-Chan

Beautiful collection

Amazing video! I aspire to have a bookshelf as organised as yours 🥰 Have you read the Game Of Thrones series? If so do you have any recommendations on similar books? 💗 (For the giveaway my guess is 650 books🤍)

lovely video <3 please do a bookshelf tour, i'd love to watch it. you're so enthusiastic about your books and your organizing system, i'm the same! hehe (also, for the giveaway, i'd say... 610?)

Hi Jade!! Fight Night and The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi are now pretty high up on my to read list!!! I've also not read any mythology recently and everytime you mention them i just feal the FOMO 😅 The Starless Sea.. 🥰🥰🥰it´s pure magic highly recommend!

I started reading 'Birdsong', sat in my car, just passing some time . . . . . . 4+ hours later, i was still sat there ! Some of it made me very emotional - some of the depictions of the horrors of war, were truly heartbreaking & savage Thanks for your thoughts - i agreed with you, on most, too As someone who suffer to a degree from claustrophobia as well, i felt such anxiety and fear in some parts . . . . . Ha ha ha ha, What Idiot, reads a book like this, who suffers from a fear of confined spaces 😕

Hi Jade! The Once and Future Witches is on top of my TBR but because of all the hype i´m actually scared to read it!!😅 Same for Carrie Soto 😁 i think i´m saving that one for a reading slump when i really need to be swept away. 🥰

Hi Jade!! The Bandit Queens was already on my radar so i´m even more intrigued now!! May´s best read for me was a short story, which i usually don´t even enjoy, The Six Deaths Of The Saint by Alix E. Arrow and also Acts of Service by Lilian Fishman. That one really took me by surprise. Really liked your mix of genres! xx

Currently rereading it for the 5th time in my life lmao, I love it so much. Still haven't brought myself to read the last few though because I really don't want it to end

You look so beautiful ❤❤❤

not a bad month ❤

*promo sm*

first

I second Lolita! I have such complicated thoughts on this book. Writing style is so incredibly readable while the subject matter is so intense and disturbing. Great recommendations! I have so many of these on my TBR 😅

Tried hard to read female authors but I really struggle...style wise... with the exception of Edna o'Brien who is amazing 🤩

I loved this book. The first 50 to 100 pages were "meh" IMHO and I thought "this is why some people DNF books." But I always plow through. And I am so glad I did. The rest of the book gave the beginning of the book the context it needed and then it just wowwed me all the way to the end.

He's not going to leave his wife because he was not going to leave his kids. (Precisely mirroring Isabel.) And Elizabeth was ultimately okay with that. (Precisely mirroring Stephen.) It aligned with some of the major themes of this novel: What is truly important in the world and why do we go on. Love > following the script. Life is messy. Etc etc.

I thought Stephen was extremely well developed. In fact, I thought this was one of the strengths of this novel. He and really all the characters were so fleshed out.
