Agree with you about the ending of Marriage Portrait. No surprise there. It was too convenient.

[@ririschannelx]

fantastic books i’m adding to my list i’ve been in a reading slump since february 😢

[@Babiebackbooks]

Girl you already know I’m in here to talk about Authority 😂 (warning, spoilers below) Okay! I have thoughts again!!! To be led through this questioning and to be employed to learn about the Area X, then for Area X to essentially be pulling the strings? What!? So was this concept of “authority” discussing the layers of what is essentially self reflection of area x on area x? This entire concept of authority and power. I finished this trilogy and I still can’t put together my thoughts about the relationship of Control with his family. That doesn’t bleed into the last book AT ALL for it to be such a heavy string puller here. The last book was HARD for me to work through. I had to take it in chunks. But at the end I gave stars for how I can see it sticking with me for a long time. I love Ishiguro. The writing style is perfect. There is a bluntness to it that has almost hazy edges. Love. Never Let Me Go was a purchase for me. My hold list at the Library is so unhinged. It’s a love hate with you coming back 😭 I can’t take my tbr growing like this 😭😭😭

a slammin spring reading season! thank you for reminding me to pre-order the 10th anniversary ed Southern Reach books. can't wait for the fourth later this year! also i FEEL YOU about feeling so drained after starting the day with The Iron Claw 😭

[@jadeddiamonds9983]

Yea those new covers looks amazing, had to check them out after reading your comment. Also, the 4th books comes out this fall (Absolution), so maybe wait until then? either way great to see you here and see you back on the tubes.

[@AS-se4cm]

im so happy i found your channel 💕💕i love your reviews and your taste in books is so similar to mine, feels so hard to find similar people on booktube sometimes!! i was reading up on in memoriam earlier today and decided it wasn't for me but now i see that you loved it so i'm just gonna have to add it back to my cart 😭

[@jadeddiamonds9983]

Thank you so much!!

[@VictoryDanDukor]

I cant wait to read some of the books you suggested here. I like the kinds of things you read- different than the other booktube people I follow. I found out I really enjoy literary fiction which was a cool surprise!

[@jadeddiamonds9983]

glad you're here! Don't be a starnger.

[@PoppyMorreale]

Abby Jimenez is so good yours truly doctor Romance yes

[@jadeddiamonds9983]

I have Yours Truly on hold. Can't wait for it.

[@mamutshilanda9822]

Hey Diamond! love the hair. I really enjoyed this video. I find that your books have substance and the way you summarize them makes me want to grab them. I have seen Abby Jimenez circulating a lot in the booktube world for sure. The book by Amia Srinivasan sounds inspiring and as you said, a book that one must have on their shelves. Always a great time watching your content. (Also congratulations on your new career! )☺

[@jadeddiamonds9983]

Thank you for the compliment! Thanks for being here lovely. I hope to see one of these books on either one of your tbr videos or reading wrap ups soon!
