[@DasKatze500]

Been a while! Glad Ex Libris arrived safely. Beautiful book, as you say. Hope there’s some good recommendations in there for you! ☺️ - Sam

[@SabineThinkerbellum]

The long way to a small angry planet is one of those rare books where the plot is not important. It’s all about the relationships between the characters, about love, acceptance and diversity, about how it feels like to find your family and coming home. They’re not getting along on the ship ??? Where did you get this from ??? Check again 😏 I adore this book and no, it wasn’t me who sent it to you. But I’m so happy that someone else did.

[@jasminejefferson6630]

The humourous opener is always my fav part of the video! Looking forward to add some new books to my TBR

I am obsessed with the outfit. What a vibe.

[@oprazerdaliteratura8856]

“Half sick of shadows” sounds very interesting, I love Arthurian retellings as well!! The title is especially attractive, since it’s a quote from Lord Tennyson’s poem The Lady of Shalott, which já my favorite poem ever!! ☺️

you're looking amazing btw. the hat fits u perfectly !

[@tatibonini12]

Hour of the star is amazing!!! I've read 3 times already and which time I get different thoughts and feelings. I love everything Clarice Lispector wrote, even though there're a lot of her books that I haven't read yet. She's a really admired author here in Brazil, so out of the box and unique.

[@tatibonini12]

I think about Macabea (the protagonist of Hour of the star) every week or even more. It's a really impactful book

[@Kato_Rin]

From what I remember, Castle in the Air does feature cameos from Howl's Moving Castle! I think it's towards the end though. I definitely recommend Diana Wynne Jones' Chrestomanci series.

[@ursula1716]

For me, Castle in the Air by Diana Wynne Jone was the weakest in Howl's Moving Castle series, but the last book "House of Many Ways" is also very good. Another good book by the same author is "The Time of the Ghost" which has autobiographical elements in the story, if I remember correctly. Honestly, I've read like 16 books of Dianna Wynne Jones and all were at least 3 stars for me.

[@sarah_es]

first off, that is a hella cute outfit. the hat is glorious.

[@joanak.9674]

Hey, lovely video! You have helped me get back into reading recently. If I could recommend one book for the books around the world challenge it would be "Physics of Sorrow" by Georgi Gospodinov for Bulgaria :) .

[@adhdfuelorwhatever]

Oh hey, I'm Bulgarian! I've seen Georgi Gospodinov irl before in a bookstore, he was there for a signing but I didn't talk or go up to him and just ignored it all lol.

I really hope you like Zola. Au Bonheur des dames isn't my favourite, but I think that's a good one to start with Zola. I would recommend reading one his darker novels as well, maybe La Bête Humaine or Thérèse Raquin.

The ladies' paradise is soooo good. I studied it in high school in France. Emile Zola is my favorite author. Hope you'll like it

[@elisa3660]

I stopped reading The seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo after a few pages because it looked very badly written, it reminded me of Sophie Kinsella's style, but since you liked it I might give it another go.

[@beliboop]

Would recommend Kamisama Kiss for manga/anime! It's a mythological romcom and my favourite of all time if you're looking for something more romantic.

[@Faye_L]

I just read Hour of the Star for uni. SO AMAZING. You'll love it. Have you read Pedro Paramo by Juan Rulfo? I studied One Hundred Years of Solitude recently (same course as Hour of the Star, Latin American lit), and it was mentioned that it was heavily inspired by Pedro Paramo. I read it, and it really did inform a lot of One Hundred Years and GGM's headspace when he wrote it. I think you'd find it interesting.

[@brbaramoreira]

I hope you have a great time reading Hour of the star, it's just amazing, beautiful, and so sad hahaha. But it's the last Lispector's work before her death, and it's so intimate, Macabéa's story shows a lot about how brazilians seen themselfs, and how everything can change in a second. I wish you have a great experience and don't forget that, for now, it's strawberry season!
