One day the algorithm put me on to this channel, and I am grateful for this discovery. As a Black man who has been an English professor for nearly 20 years, I am heartened to see your passion for reading and discovering new books. Keep up the great work! You are making a difference.

I love the diversity of your books. Just imagine how many people you are introducing to reading and how exciting it is! Great job.

[@LitVibesWithFive]

Thank you so much 💙

[@trensshawndy9595]

Love your vibe cousin ❤❤❤❤ truly one of my favorite booktubers out here. Your taste and love for books is amazing and fun. You definitely have a great personality that promotes reading. Keep being different and yourself without apology. Good seeing a black man promote his love of books. We need more of that. You rock cousin. Ayeeee ayeeeee books 📚📚📚📚📚

[@omalleysmith9100]

Great job of not only promoting literacy and the fun of reading, but you probably also will motivate people to got get their eyes checked! The frames really suit you, good job!

Don't worry about taking too long, you could post a one hour video and I'd still be happy to watch it!

Not going to lie right now this channel is my fave booktube channel. It’s just so different and fresh

I work in one, fucking bane of my existence lmao. Love it.

[@jess.alcantara]

This channel is becoming such a comfort at this point, seriously. The new frames look so good! I'm SCREAMING you got Get a Life, Chloe Brown!!!! Let's go, Brown sisters!!! So excited for you to read it! I read Dorian Gray when I was younger, remember I really liked, but not in details, so I plan t reread it this year. Simon vs the Homo sapiens agenda is lovely, and also has an adaptation that I highly recommend! Kindred, oh boy. Kindred. Still pops in my mind and leaves me speechless from time to time. And a bunch of great recommendations again, thank you!

[@ilikesniffingpaper]

Please go reread dorian Gray it's one of my all time favorites and got me into classics for good!

[@verucabeckwith3014]

Love the Brown sisters!

[@jamalgharib1464]

Bro. Recursion is AMAZING. Sci-fi love story. It’s one of my favorite books.

[@susanalfieri4487]

I'm putting this one on my list. It sounds great. It reminds me the teeniest bit of BLINDNESS by Jose Saramago, which won a Nobel Prize for Literature. In that book (if you don't know it), large swaths of the human population suddenly go blind. Then they are rounded up by the government and put into camps--for "their own protection," if I remember correctly. The premise of the story is really interesting, and the writing is marvelous and raw. Lots of smells, as you can imagine in a world where very few can see. Too bad I can't read Spanish. I bet it's even better in its native tongue.

[@AuthorThings]

We like diversity in the authors and genres we read!! If you like that Blake Crouch Book, try Wayward Pines and Dark Matter!! If you're ever in New Mexico, try Page 1 Books and Under Charlie's Covers. ❤

What joy to watch your vlogs. I truly appreciate the passion and care you put in to taking us to bookstores and hearing why you chose the books. I love the diversity of your reading taste. I can totally relate to your curiosity and hunger to read widely. I've been an avid reader for more than 30 years and those feelings are still there. I honestly don't know who I'd be without books as my constant companion during so many stages of my life. Thank you for another beautiful post

[@kimreese3530]

One of the best parts of reading is discovering new books and collecting them. 📚

[@huntersun9]

I'm so glad you picked up Kindred and I can't wait to see your review. All of your choices look good. The bookstore tour was great and those new glasses look wonderful on you. It's all good. Have fun!

[@livslibrary]

I’m near Atlanta but I’ve never heard of this bookstore! Definitely adding it to my list! 🙌🏻

[@MHoffHearts]

Cousin getting the Warby deal? Love it!

[@AShadowInTheLibrary]

I will always recommend Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. It’s the original of the monster everyone knows but the media changed it and kind of lost the point of what Frankenstein was about. It’s my favorite book and it’s a classic! It created the genre of science fiction and makes you question the dilemma of who the actual monster in the book is. Also, random fact: the original gothic english vampires that we know today was originated by a story called The Vampyre (what Dracula is based on) which was written at the same time and in the same room as Frankenstein. If you’re curious, you should do some fun research on how the two most prolific monsters (Frankenstein and English Vampires) were created in the same room! Happy reading!

The Picture of Dorian Gray is a fabulous book! Excellent choice.

I've been reading "The Grace of Kings" for a while now. This book is a journey for sure. It's very vivid and full of action. But also very foreboding. Definitely a recommended read.

[@Courtney6]

Ahhh. I’ve read all but 2 of these books and you chose some really great ones. The Picture of Dorian Gray is one of my top 5 books of all time. If you enjoy Animal Farm and you enjoyed 1984 I think you’d really like Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury (and it’s about books). Kindred was really good. It’s one of the books that I recommend if someone asks me in a bookstore for recommendations.

[@jamiedianne6778]

Love your glasses! This was such a good haul and you got me so excited for “A Love Song For Ricki Wilde”! I’m not up on new releases usually but that one sounds amazing and I’m definitely picking it up. 🙌📚

[@tiyewatson8052]

Animal Farm was definitely a book I loved reading in middle school! I wrote a paper on it and you are right about the symbolism in it. 1984 is also another good book by him too!

[@amandasalmi6616]

I LOVE that bookstore. It was the first bookstore my then-boyfriend, now-husband took me to. I would love to see you read Deacon King Kong. It’s a funny, ironic, heartwarming story! Also, if your girlfriend and you are comfortable with it, you all should do a video about you reading a book together and talking about it.

Love the variety of choices you picked up. Awesome frames. Beautiful bookstore. Some of these titles are new to me, so my TBR list just grew (again, always). I read Kindred in February and absolutely loved it. I hope you enjoy it-I’ll be curious what you think. Thanks for another fun video!

[@ThePaperbackFairy]

I really enjoyed Get a Life Chloe Brown! It’s great disability representation and an overall enjoyable story! I also want to recommend one of my favourite authors, Thomas King. He writes mystery, fiction, and non-fiction, and is an extraordinary author. I suggest his DreadfulWater mystery series. They keep you guessing during a slow, but addiction burn, and the humour of the main character is just amazing!

Great choice for your new frames! And the bookstore looks amazing. I love your choices. The Nickel Boys is excellent and sad. Look at info about The Dozier School (I think it was just outside Tallahassee in Marianna FL. A newer release, The Reformatory by Tannarive Due, was also set there and has more supernatural elements to the story. I saw it on one of the tables in your bookstore footage! Enjoy your reading and let us know your thoughts. 😊

Hey! If you end up really liking Simon vs the Homosapiens Agenda, I highly, HIGHLY recommend you check out The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian next. They're both YA books centering around a young boy who doesn't fit in with the rest of their school peers (although for different reasons). It's a book that been banned in several states highschools/libraries for graphic content but the story that it has to tell is truly one of a kind and worth the read. At least for me, it was one of the most influential books I have ever read. Love the vid! Was super excited to see you upload today :D

[@thecampinglibrarian]

Great frame choice! I enjoyed seeing what you bought at the bookstore.

[@jampsonn1826]

Another amazing book haul! I've always wanted to try Colson Whitehead's stuff, but the writing intimidates me. I hope you like it and can convince me to try it. 😅 I went to college in Tallaahassee so hearing that it's based in a true tragic time in history was so intriguing to me.
