TOP 10 BOOKS I WANT TO READ IN 2019 + CURMUDGEON-Y RANTS | Amerie

[@adriannacherelle212]

Your channel is the reason I began reading books other than screenwriting and self-help. Thank you so much. I love your channel.

[@Amerie.]

Thank you, Adrianna!

[@whitneystriggow2368]

I’m so glad you talked about how some books are harder to read because the topics are so heavy. I feel like a lot of booktubers don’t discuss it and it’s something I experience quite often. This is a great list!

[@jscript22]

You crack me up, Amerie ... one of very few celebrities that I can see myself being friends with. Very much like my girlfriends and I.

[@vaughnjames397]

HOMEGOING was very good. I think you'll love it. THE GOLDFINCH is one of my favorite books… but people were divided with it; either they loved it or hated it- I loved it; I hope you'll love it too. ^_^ PACHINKO was also very good- the detail and breadth of the novel was beautiful. Looking forward to seeing what you think of those books! I'm excited to check out WASHINGTON BLACK: you've sold me on it. CIRCE has been sitting on my kindle waiting for me, I think I may actually do better with a physical copy though...we'll see. From one curmudgeon to another: I feel you re: people jumping on [issue] bandwagons and going overboard trying to tick off boxes (being disingenuous about diversity, if we want to be real). And it's certainly frustrating when one issue is at the forefront being discussed/remedied, and everyone wants to pile on issues, isms and such. I know multi-tasking exists, but some issues and isms need to be talked about/remedied/solved one at a time. You're not alone, Amerie! I got my DNA tested and the results were astounding. And there is a lot more data available now re: the African diaspora; you may not know the exact tribe, but knowing the region and in some cases, exact countries, makes a huge difference! You're in for a treat. Good luck with your discovery!

[@CarlyneDTQTonPod]

When Ameriie gets socially Triggered 😂✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽 I feel you Sis❤️... I too can’t with that term “It’s so Diverse” 😒

[@Amerie.]

😂🤣

[@AllAboutApril3]

Homegoing is definitely a journey. I wouldn’t recommend reading it one sitting, although the story will leave you wanting more. Great book. I plan to read Circe as well along with The Red Tent.

[@Sunflower94H]

I've been needing some motivation to read again and you being one of my favorite artist ever. I never knew you had a channel and this channel is so positive and peaceful. I absolutely adore you as a person. Thank you, I definitely miss 📖.

[@iv1908]

Hey girlie! Just wanted to chime in about your desire to pursue discovering your African lineage. As background, I am a health scientist (I have a PhD in biomedical sciences) and have studied genetics and I think it is great that you are curious about discovering your lineage. Unfortunately, it breaks my heart to inform you that it is impossible to actually pinpoint the exact country (or tribe) your family is from at this point in the technology. Any claims being made that these companies can do this are exaggerations and guesses at best due to the generations of mixing and migrating, and they are just out to make a profit off of the public's ignorance. As proof, I recommended that you do a little digging and research the technology to see the probabilities. And I'm only saying this to you not to disappoint you but rather in an effort to attempt to save you from being fooled to think you're one group when you truly may be from a myriad of groups. And no, you're not alone in the thought of "the movement" being watered-down by others. I always say is it not possible to walk and chew gum at the same time? We should be able to focus on the numerous plights Black women endure while also understanding there are other issues that others face as well. It bothers me to no end. Sigh.... On a side note, I truly love these types of videos and look forward to when you upload! I always find a at least one new book to add to my TBR. Thank so much for sharing! Video request: Do you think you'll be doing any videos about fashion (I adore your sense of fashion) and natural hair (without heat styling)? I would be super excited to see those as well. Thank you! - Courtney

[@BooksandLala]

I want to note The Diviners does NOT feel like a 500+ page book- stop putting it off girl, it's not as big an investment as you're expecting! :P

[@Amerie.]

Lol okay okay! I’m going in! 😘

[@alivenreads]

Yes i agree. I had it on my shelf for years and read it recently within 48 hours. 😊

[@MsPynkPynk]

I read it in a day (audiobook) It was soooo good. I didnt know it was so long I was so into it!

[@tonis7904]

I also read it as audio and actually love the whole series. There are also a range of diverse characters throughout the series.

[@browngirlreading]

Brilliant minds think alike! I'm going to be reading Circe (I have the same edition. LOVE the UK editions!) and hopefully Purity. I'm hesitating about reading it because it would be my first Franzen. I think I should probably start with any of his earlier works. I really liked Washington Black but I'll be interested to here what you think of it.the Light We Cannot See is also on my list along with The goldfinch. I already tried to read the Goldfinch and got to page 120 and for some reason quit. Need to get back to it. Pachinko is also on my TBR especially for my big book challenge. Have a great reading year Amerie!

[@Amerie.]

Thank you, Didi! And thanks for the GR group invite! I really hope I love Washington Black. As for Franzen, everyone suggests beginning with The Corrections, but I still haven’t read that one. I started with Freedom, which I loved (I read and listened to the audiobook) but many kind of hate it lol. A great reading year to you, as well, Didi!

[@browngirlreading]

I know a lot of people hate him but I want to try to read something by him to forge m:y own opinion.@@Amerie.

[@Amerie.]

Lol yes they do. (Also tagged you in my description link-forgot to do it while uploading!)

[@abominablebookgirl7197]

Yes and you guys can watch The Poptimist's review on it. That's actually how I first heard about it.

[@amn384]

The Diviners series is amazing! And the author does give credit to the black community for a lot of the slang and dances. On the diversity rep in this series, I felt the author did an excellent job fleshing out her characters and made them feel very real, while giving us different lenses to view what the 20s was like (one of the POVs is gay, another black, another Jewish, and another that is introduced in the second book is a disabled Chinese character) and the different struggles they face/how they are treated. I also really loved how the series addresses the not-so-glitzy parts of the 1920s (dangers for interracial couples, homophobia, eugenics, xenophobia, anti-Semitism, The Chinese Exclusion Act, the KKK, among others). It's also a pretty quick read, despite its size! 💕

[@priceliss]

I feel you 100%! It's the whole "what about us?" thing that annoys me. You've had your moment, fall back. It's not about you right now. I've also been on a little personal discovery. I've been wanting to read more about the Taino Indians. Dig more into my Puerto Rican roots 🇵🇷 Anyways, sounds like some great reads. Will be going through my TBR as well. 😁🤓❤️-Angie

[@yapdog]

You ain't being curmudgeony, you're just being real. keep being real.

[@ashleyfalconer3226]

Amerie , you have a great list for 2019! Some I’ve read last year. Circe was a beautiful story, but I also recommend Miller’s Song of Achilles. I loved it just a bit more. Highly recommend the audiobook. Narrator’s voice is perfect. The Diviners was a lot of fun. Don’t let the size deter you, it’s a fast read. Books 2 & 3 are on my tbr this year. I hope you do a review for Cloud Atlas. I haven’t read it but I’ve seen the movie a few times and it’s one of my all time favorites.

[@carlethabeavers6956]

I really loved The Goldfinch! That was my first Donna Tart book, I need to pick up her other novels. Homecoming was really good too! The Diviners and All The Light We Cannot See we are on my list to read last year but didn’t get around to - this year I’m going to tackle the books on diverse spines mug which include Washington Black.

[@rcreed77]

All I Have is a bonafide classic that is on my playlist to this day....

[@hume1234561]

I agree wholeheartedly with your thoughts of emotional nihilism brought about by reading books dealing with a particular period of time. I could never really bring myself to read them and even though I feel I should to give me an idea of what life was like back then. I know my frustration and anger would mitigate anything I might glean from the book. I hope you enjoy those reads Amerie. Pace yourself and don't feel you have to read something if your heart's not in it.

[@Slimm_Sheedah1]

I watched the whole ads just for you boo❤️ I borrowed a book from the library that I’m begrudgingly trying to get through and 2 chapters in. The first story was suspect 😒. It’s called the Best American short stories. Amerie is goals y’all.

[@meghan22]

Thank you for this Amerie, your channel is one of my favorite. I love that with everything else you have going on you take the time to prioritize books and talk about social / black issues, I love it

[@josesantana27]

Hey Amerie, this video is synchronicity for me. I am currently learning about the Yoruba Spiritual Tradition called IFA From West Africa, specifically Nigeria in Benin. A lot of the African Diaspora Ancestors come from that region of Africa. Very intriguing books.

[@jessicaflores2034]

How do you choose which books to read? Do you have a specific place where you look up new/popular books, grab whatever catches you eye, recommendations from others, etc? I want to read more but I’m not sure what I want to read. Great video!

[@AngelaAins]

I'm with you on all of this. I too have a pile of books I need to go through and finish. Sometimes it's such a daunting task. Also I'm sick of every time black women try to discuss something, people become determined to hijack the conversation or dismiss our issues. It annoys me soooooo much!

[@iamatypicalsheep]

Thanks for inspiring me to read again. So glad to see you back on booktube!

The percussion is so good, and Amerie is just beautiful in that video... and this one.

[@Talib23401]

I think I'm going to adopt the term 'enslavement narrative'.

[@digthewarmth]

I LOVE the change to saying "Enslaved narratives"!! I'm definitely going to talk about them in this way moving forward. and I just added Circe too to my Audible TBR. I hope we both enjoy it.

[@josesantana27]

Amerie you are definitely missed in the singing arena. It is encouraging to see you creating a new niche for your self. Much love and continued prosperity.

[@deebee443]

Homegoing is a GREAT book. It’s heavy in events but it’s such a GREAT read

[@RandiMarie1111]

I’m really looking forward to reading Circe as well as Purity. Great list and video, Amerie.

[@Ka1Gra3]

Hey I feel ppl do tend to hijack the focus in those situations. At times it seems like a natural reaction for ppl to pile on & practically take away focus from the initial issue

[@Ka1Gra3]

Always appreciate your view on various narratives. Thankyou

[@SheriMaple]

I just discovered your channel a few weeks ago when it popped up as a recommended channel to see while watching Book Riot's channel. I enjoy watching your videos. I have fiction and nonfiction books on my reading list, but reading the books I have on my shelf as well. Fair warning: I was a history major in college and it influences some of my reading choices. There are some compelling events and people from history that make for great storytelling. It's my hope to read these books this year, so I write this into existence. Here's the list: Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America by Ibram X. Kendi (currently reading) Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann (Book club read with co-workers) How Long "Til Black Future History Monday by N.K. Jemisin (Collection of short stories) Swing Time by Zadie Smith I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer by Michelle McNamara Pachinko by Min Jin Lee The God of the Small Things by Arundhati Roy Lilith's Brood by Octavia E. Butler Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City by Matthew Desmond Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie An American Marriage by Tayari Jones Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom by David W. Blight (Passion project read: more than 800 pages) Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman (need a funny read after reading some heavy stories) The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead (bought the book when first published) Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention by Manning Marable The Light of Truth: Writings of an Anti-Lynching Crusader by Ida B. Wells (She was a badass) Gateway to Freedom: The Hidden History of the Underground Railroad by Eric Foner Reconstruction (Updated Edition): America's Unfinished Revolution, 1863-1877 by Eric Foner The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration by Isabel Wilkerson White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide by Carol Anderson The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist: A True Story of Injustice in the American South by Radley Balko and Tucker Carrington The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt The Outsider by Stephen King Sleeping Beauties by Stephen King and Owen King Beloved by Toni Morrison (Re-reading) Ida: A Sword Among Lions by Paula J. Giddings (Re-reading and once again she was a badass)

When people try copying all three you know you got it like that. Thank you for being you. Because of you I love gogo music. I'll looking into those books too. I'm subscribed.

[@trmimo82]

I bet I probably have over 50 books that I bought/got was excited to read and then never got around to reading. Many of them are emotionally draining or larger books, so I feel like I have to prepare myself to read them and then I just forget. I love your book review/discussion videos. I’m going to have to pick up Washington Black. I had not heard of it before, but it sounds good.

[@lordoffishtown4455]

Holy crap I have that book CIRCE!! I know, kinda weird for a guy to read but I’ve always liked mythology themes and this book is just beautifully written. I’ve been reading it on and off for the last couple of months when I’m not fishing. Also just finished American Gods. If you ever get a chance, read The Many Coloured Land by Julian May, it’s an oldie but very good and I’ve had the books for 30+ years.

[@dejaanderson2731]

Hey ameriie, almost every book you recommend I buy ! I’ve purchased the nix, the vegetarian, and a darker shade of magic. Good talk, girl ! &.... I just built a cool book shelf. Turn up ! 🔥

[@nylorac1984]

When I listened to your books to read list and your explanations for why you haven't picked some of the books up I could relate. A popular expression you are what you eat I think can be translated to you are what you consume. I find it difficult to consume certain media that I feel might emotionally charge me during certain times. I think it is important to be in the right head space to handle certain topics that might trigger emotional responses.

[@onyinye-4188]

When you said Igbo I got so excited. I’m of Igbo decent living in the UK. It’s so cool to know you’re interested in this stuff makes me want to research more too ❣️

[@nicolemorgan7752]

I feel the exact same way about enslavement narrative books. I thought I was the only one that felt that way. Good to know that I am not the only one that has that struggle about reading that genre of books. I have a stack of books like you that I have promised myself that I am definitely read THIS YEAR. My first book is "The Sympathizer".

[@Amerie.]

YES, The Sympathizer, too. I hope you enjoy it. I’m going to try for that, too lol

[@yapdog]

[@buckypants6314]

So if you relate to curmudgeons, do you watch Curb Your Enthusiasm? If not you’re missing out😁

[@FMsukina]

Franzen is such an underrated author. My partner introduced me to his writing. I have a book of his essays ('Farther Away') on my bookshelf that I need to read! Have you read it? If so, thoughts? Ohhh, wouldn't it be amazing to read a book about Lindy or Balboa featuring characters like Frankie Manning and/or Norma Miller. I saw Norma Miller dance live a few years back and she was INCREDIBLE! I know that Zadie Smith wrote 'Swing Time' but I'm thinking more about the American dance scene (I'm more familiar with it because I'm from Canada and briefly lived in Seattle).

[@dessibel8649]

I made the same video! And wanted to see who you were and I can’t believe it’s you!!! Super amazing to see how well you are doing. I was such a huge fan && can’t wait to see your videos 💖👏🏻💞❤️❤️

[@sallytsaples]

I totally agree with you about being annoyed when a book is marketed as 'diverse'. I would much rather pick up a book and start reading and discover that the characters are different ethnicities/belong to the LGBTQ+ community etc. rather than have a book marketed to me in that way. Otherwise I feel like they are trying to sell books of the back of the progress and awareness or struggles that those minority groups are making/facing. Most of the time when a book is marketed that way they have one side character or villain who belongs to a minority which annoys the hell out of me. Its one thing to include these characters in your book and have people comment on how they appreciated it afterwards and a totally different thing to sell off the back of these communities. Eventually Id appreciate it if books just included diverse casts without any outward mention and it just became he norm.

[@Vaporwaving]

Possibly in the future, can you make a list of your favorite esoteric and metaphysical books? Thank you. Huge Fan!!!❤

[@truff6429]

I feel the same way as you. I have so many books on my shelf relating to race, white privilege, etc and cannot find the strength currently to get through it. The world in itself is already emotionally draining...I don’t want my favorite time (reading) to be emotional draining too. But on there other hand these books are so helpful with navigating conversations centered on race and prepare you for having to have these tough dialogues with non black people.

[@sakeenahevans6875]

Hello! Great video with addressing the emotional space you have to be in to read certain books especially about slavery and the disrespect of black americans. Certain books I just feel a certain way about reading like, Barracoon, THUG, Underground Railroad etc. Reading these books will make me angry and feel overwhelmed and helpless actually. I'm sure the storyline is great but it's just overwhelming. I did read Homegoing last year and it is a great book but there are parts that are draining as well. FYI: I try my best to avoid watching the news, too much negative energy.

[@Javi_Nectar_Yoga]

I love that you love Greek mythology cuz I do too..I have book of most stories but they are not that long..my favorite is the story of Cupid

Hey, I'm a fellow KZbinr and bestselling author. I would love to send you some books. Let me know if any of these interest you. 1. The Art of the Hustle - a rags to riches story about a perceptive kid who is kicked around and written off most of his life, but in all his trials takes away lessons that he applies to the world of business, which ultimately makes him rich. 2. Prodigy - set in a futuristic world where technology and brain implants allow people to download information instantly, it has created a race of rational and kind people. Despite the benefits of this technology, it has created some unforeseen side effects that threaten humankind’s existence. When technology proves to be inept at solving the world’s problem, a new hope emerges in the unlikeliest form - a young orphan girl. 3. The Secret Manuscript - after suffering a life of devastating events, luck begins to swing in one man's favour. He soon realizes that everything he gained comes at a price. (It's hard for me to really describe the book without giving it away, you just have to read it.) 4. I am Rome - When a strange object flies overhead and crashes into a neighbour’s field, a young boy discovers a strange craft not from this planet. From this craft emerges a being with a very important message for the people of Earth. 5. Eden - a young couple traveling abroad experience more adventure than they can handle after they discover they are the last two people on the planet. 6. Zero - In a hyper-connected world where every move is tracked and even predicted, nine strangers must figure out how to stop a group of rogue hackers who have taken over the world.
