I can’t tell you how much I loved this video as someone the same age as you who has just gotten back into reading the past year, after studying literature throughout all of my teen years. It made me reflect on how many novels have impacted my life. Thank you, can’t wait to watch more of your channel ❤

A Very Happy 27th Birthday to you !!! What a fun way to celebrate. I remember doing "book reports" in grade school, but for the life of me I have no memory of doing any assigned reading. I think a couple of books that really influenced me have been "Surfacing" by Margaret Atwood and "The Edible Woman" also by Margaret Atwood.

happy birthday!! i also didn’t read the harry potter series until I was 18 years old, and i feel like i could appreciate the more complex themes as well :) some books that make me who i am today are: walk two moons by sharon creech, kafka on the shore by haruki murakami, and when breath becomes air by paul kalanithi
@katerinareem5 ай бұрын
thank you my love !! and it's exactly that - i feel like the darker topics in harry potter would've gone completely over my head as a child so I was glad to appreciate it all in its entirety later in life! and love to hear kafka on the shore by haruki murakami is one of your books, it's such a wonderful and weird book!

Same with Life of Pi and The secret history, i would ad for me 4321, Alias Grace, Dead Souls, The road, Agota Kristof "The notebook" trilogy, Knut Hamsun "Hunger" and a hungarian modern classic "Föld,Föld" Sandor Marai. This books shaped me as a reader
@katerinareem2 ай бұрын
thank you so much for your recs!! I haven't heard the majority of these so you've really intrigued me to check out these new books! 'the road' is actually on my TBR and I hope to read that soon

thank you so much! ooo which books?
@TraumaticTomes5 ай бұрын
I think just Dorian Gray and Of Mice & Men. One you mentioned that I'm very eager to try soon is A Thousand Splendid Suns, although I've yet to read Kite Runner too so maybe that as well.. too many books on the tbr!
@katerinareem5 ай бұрын
yes I would def recommend to read the kite runner before a thousand splendid suns as I think the latter book is definitely a step up! hope you enjoy them when you get round to them (I know the struggle of having a never ending TBR !!)
