so glad I found this video and your channel, will be binging your vids now!! I also love that the books you talked about are not necessarily the hyped up books you'll see in almost every reading wrap up

[@katerinareem]

ahhhh thank you so much !! that makes so much to me, and yea i like to read lesser known books as i get bored seeing the same books everyone else is reading lol

[@rorororos]

Princess posting lets gooo, hope u have a lovely june bae

[@katerinareem]

hahahahah love that, thank you so much! you too ❤️

[@nathansnook]

So glad you enjoyed Less Than Zero! I have it on my summer tbr and am excited to get to it! I read The Shards earlier this year and Glamorama recently and I just love how easy it is to read him while also being highly entertained!

[@katerinareem]

it's a very different and interesting book but I def enjoyed it! and ahhh I really wanna get round to reading the shards - def one on my TBR!

[@sreejanichavidi6901]

I also read 5 books.. They are just general light fluffy romance books.. It's not much but I'm satisfied. Love your videos.. Lots of love from 🇮🇳India

[@katerinareem]

nothing wrong with fluffy romance books!! reading is all about reading books on what you enjoy (: tysm for the love from india!

[@theyescapedtheweightofdarkness]

i love james baldwin's novels. i gotta read that one

[@katerinareem]

i've actually never read any of his books but this has now convinced me to (:

[@readingisbelieving5248]

I read four books this month, two romances, a thriller, and a fantasy romance! I started another thriller last night so potentially five if I finish within the next few days

[@katerinareem]

stunning !! five books for me and you both (:

The Covenant of Water is on my list to pick up soon (I'm trying to make a deal with myself, to read at least 3 books for every new book I get- I'm not doing too well here though). I'm currently reading "And Then She Fell" by Alicia Elliott, about a woman who just had a baby and goes through these mental states of dissociation and strange things happening. The Author is doing a free event next weekend in my small city I'm going to, and very excited about

[@katerinareem]

that's such a good idea karen and probs one I should adopt myself as I'm buying too many books but don't want to put myself on a book buying ban! ooo 'and then she fell' sounds v intriguing, i'm def going to check it out!

[@A5A1A5]

Not sure if you've read it but i think you'd love The Book of Goose by Yiyun Li

[@katerinareem]

ooo haven't heard of this one but absolutely love the name of it! the book of goose def have a funny kick to it

[@kuroihitsuji872]

I read Less than Zero and watched the movie ages ago, but I remember they are quite different. Isn't the ending different?

[@katerinareem]

I haven't watched the film yet but I really want to as I like robert downey jr! interesting that it has different endings - i didn't know that! I'm going to watch it soon tho and found out

[@kuroihitsuji872]

@@katerinareem I watched it in the 80's when it came out so, I cannot be too sure.

I started Emily Wilde’s Map of the Otherlands in May. Good luck with the general election; my country, India, is having one too.

[@katerinareem]

amazing! how are you finding the book? best of luck with the election - always hoping for more useful governments !!

[@badfaith4u]

@@katerinareem The book is good so far.

[@thisheatherlynn]

I wholeheartedly agree with you about Sally Rooney. I also wanted to like her, but find that her characters are fairly one dimensional & difficult to empathize with.

[@katerinareem]

so glad you agree!! thought it was just me, never understood the hype 😩

[@ChanelChapters]

I also am not a fan of sally Rooney

[@katerinareem]

i've found my people !!

[@sarochaspicy]

i also do not enjoy sally rooney’s writing! 🥹 sorry but its just not giving….your points are valid!!!

[@katerinareem]

thank you ahh !! I finally feel so validated lol

[@Literary_Baddie5838]

I dnfed Beautiful World, where are you?, struggled through Conversations with Friends(I still don't understand the dynamic between the characters) and I'm only a lover of Normal People because of the show and you know there's a problem if the show is better than the book.

[@sarochaspicy]

@@Literary_Baddie5838 i feel you, its just so hard to connect with her characters
