august wrap up 💕 rereads, romances and 11 books [cc]

[@Sandra-ij5gm]

You talk so well about the books you like, that even though I KNOW we don’t have the same taste in books, I always end up reading whatever you recommend

The most selling book in Amazon, the link below

YeSss this!!

This is a weird comment, but I have learned English for the past 14 years, and I swear it’s the first time I have ever heard a native speaker say “so so” for something “okay/medium” 😂 And I had to comment because I’ve always heard it in my English lessons, I was taught that but never used it because whenever I encountered native speakers no one used it, I’m so happy to hear it HAHA

[@rondoflicflac]

OMG SAME! Only heard my non-native teachers say it!

[@missmakeupaddict24]

If you liked A Thousand Ships, the author has a non-fiction book exploring women in Greek mythology and it’s BRILLIANT! I think it’s out in the US very soon (or might already be). It rescues the reputation of goddesses and mortal women who are often either overlooked or portrayed negatively in Greek mythology!

[@Everdinaaa]

Omg I’m midway through A Thousand Ships and I neeed to read this new book so hopefully it’ll be out in Europe too soon

[@uuManu]

What’s the name of the book?

[@nataliesakaluk6393]

Thanks for the heads up! I just pre-ordered. It’s out March 2022

[@nataliesakaluk6393]

@@uuManu Pandora’s Jar

[@SR-jn3zj]

I love Pandora's Jar so much, everything Natalie Haynes does is amazing

[@philippahjc]

my day has been brightened, Noelle has posted, need i say more??!

[@drezdendolla.9143]

I read "Shadow of the wind", "A man called Ove", both 5 star reads, started "A tree grows in Brooklyn" and "The Thursday Murder Club"

[@jenniferrynes5093]

I really enjoyed the book, “Anxious People”. I just loved the perspective it gave. I’m getting my masters in clinical mental health counseling so anything mental health related is up my alley!

[@jazmynhughes6081]

I'm currently reading Act your age Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert. And I have to say Eve is probably my favorite out of Chloe and Dani, but I still love both of the books ❤

[@nikkiplantbased]

Yasss love Noelle’s wrap ups! Happy Friday everyone 😊

[@readwithtalia]

Thank you Lisewise for sponsoring the most amazing Booktuber.

[@mek531]

So I contracted COVID in August, and unfortunately spent 10 days in the hospital. Thought I was going to go crazy without any books to read (family couldn’t visit with books because duh) but then I remembered I had the audiobook for “The Dog Stars” by Peter Heller on my phone, and oh my gosh, what a book! About a survivor of a flu pandemic (how ironic!) his dog, and his plane, and I loved it! Totally recommend!

[@taylorb5501]

Hope you are feeling better!!!

[@mek531]

I am, thanks so much Taylor! ❤️

[@teawithleia]

I will never get over your amazing bookshelves. They are the most beautiful bookshelves I've ever seen 🧡

[@GloriaTulwan]

your comment is lovely

[@destinydeeter2107]

This month I read The Penelopiad, A Touch of Darkness, Dark Places, The Butterfly Garden, Lock Every Door, and Beach Read. I also hit my reading goal of 12 books this year when I finished beach read! Thanks for inspiring me to love reading again ❤️

[@Liba_Elena]

1:55 Noelle does not need the joke book anymore👌😁😁

[@le7516]

I loved all the jokes!!!

[@Aiiidamoradiii]

i have an unhealthy obsession with this woman 📚🙈

[@irem8513]

for me it was not one of the best reading months but i've read three five stars for me. read the bell jar by sylvia plath finally and i loved it. also as a huge taylor jenkins reid fan i've adored malibu rising, and finally i've read the fire next time by james baldwin which was just brilliant.

[@malakkzzzz_]

I finished 'The Hating Game' last week and i'm going to reread it really soon hopefully because i literally ADORED that book! ❤️🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@chloe7459]

That book was a fun read. Romance books aren't really right up my alley (im sorry I just don't like it) but I found "The Hating Game" really enjoyable!

[@MsHybrid9]

I read 4 great books in August! - The Book Thief (Markus Zusak) --> hearth wrenching! 5* - Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen) --> A slow read but such amazing eye to detail when it comes to human thoughts and relations. Just very difficult to read 3* - 1984 (George Orwell) --> A solid 2+2 = 4* - The Song of Achilles (Madeline Miller) --> Just absolutely... I mean... It couldn't have been more... Aristo Achaion... 5* Science September is gonna be amazeballs! --> A brief History of Time (Stephen Hawking) + DUNE (Frank Herbert) are on the TBR list :D

[@francescakyanda9182]

I'm DIGGING your enthusiasm

[@x3lea866]

I read 1984 this month too! Definitely powerful, but damn depressing haha

[@jessicaa4436]

The book thief is my favourite book ever !!

[@MsHybrid9]

@@jessicaa4436 I started it with a feeling like it wasn’t going to be my thing. And then the wonderful writing just hooked me and then that suckerpunch, right in the feels! 😭😭😭

[@sandyoppenlander]

I love hearing your perspectives! You are so well spoken! 💕

[@MelpoReads]

The Echo Wife was a 5 star read for me. You’re so right with the book being written in a really accessible way for those who don’t want over the top science but just want a creative technology story (like Black Mirror).

[@mechamedesu7275]

I loved your channel mainly because I love books And because I am Brazilian 🇧🇷 and I'm trying to learn English and your videos help me a lot ❤️❤️❤️

[@uniquelykmee9688]

You're like the first person I ever heard to talk about like wise.... I love it on there

[@user-qu8zs7vs1x]

So happy to see so many mythology retellings in your videos! It's one of my favourite sub-genres and I love hearing you talk about them :)

[@BookTalksWithMrsThomas]

Hi there. Just subscribed. I'm a booktuber too. I will definitely check out The Chosen and the Beautiful. Having taught Gatsby, I think you'd really enjoy rereading it to look for water imagery. The rich float while the poor sink. Gatsby himself does both. It adds dimension I think if you read it for the figurative language. Thanks for your videos. I just finished Beach Read too.😃

[@AmandasBooksandlife]

Love seeing Noelle talk about the books she read, she looks so happy and it makes me happy 😊

[@trudyjohns5150]

I put Open Water on my tbr list because of your book review. I can’t wait to read it!!! The best book I read in August was The Songbook of Benny Lament. It was so good.

[@evelynn3756]

I finished open water last week!! I loved it

[@stephaniecurtiss6804]

My favorite read of August was The Hating Game! I bought it after hearing you rave about it a while back and absolutely loved it!

[@read.bykate]

"they do catch crabs!" had me dying I thought you meant something else.. 😂🖐🏼

[@MsLsullivan]

Noelle!!! You have to go read the Paper Magician, it’s about paper magic and it’s so fun and good! Audiobook is awesome too!

[@storiesandsadhbh4673]

such a great list of books! Maybe it’s about time for “The Hating Game” reread for me too 🍓 August was a great reading month for me too! Much better than other summer months! Happy Sept, Noelle

[@francescakyanda9182]

Noelle beams about romance so brightly I might have to get over myself and read some

[@juliawaggoner2549]

Omg!!! Best Friday’s start with a Noelle video 💕

[@abiwattaw]

I read it happened one summer this month too! And I was sooo so surprised that I loved it - I think knowing that the main character is based off of Alexis Rose like sets the tone as to whether you'll enjoy this book or not for sure. There's a second book coming out about Hannah next year!!!

[@Freakgirl1985]

My best friend enjoyed Pat Barker's book The Silence of the Girls a lot and when I told her just the other day that she released a new book she was so excited. Then I asked her if I should get it for her upcoming birthday ;-) Before that my plan was to get her A Thousand Ships :D

[@jcaptures]

I loved You Had Me At Hola too! I hope you’re going to read A Lot Like Adios. It’s a spin off about one of her cousin Michelle. I liked her character as well and I can’t wait to read that one. The cover is just as stunning.

[@emilyem3]

I picked up The Hating Game for the first time this month because of how much you’ve recommended it!! It took me a minute to get into but it really is so sweet, I can’t wait to see the movie when it comes out!!

[@evelynn3756]

Yesss I read Open Water last week and I loved it so so much. Like you said the great writing and metaphors and also it put me onto so music and Black art(ists). I also read Cantoras in August and wow... one of the most impactful books I’ve ever read, as a Latina queer woman it just hit so different but I think anyone would enjoy it, highly recommend if you haven’t already☺️💚

[@christinacampbellbooks]

Loved hearing your thoughts on all of these. I've just reserved The Echo Wife at my library. I can't wait to read it! ☺

[@funkypenguin3000]

You might like the penelopiad by Margaret Atwood!! Its a great retelling of Penelopes time warding off the suitors during the odyssey. Totally recommend!!

[@lucassimonton6979]

finally got back into reading this month after years of only reading like school required books and such. I read dune, a darker shade of magic, mistborn, books one and two of shadow and bone and circe!!

[@allih615]

I LOVE the Great Gatsby, and I thought The Chosen and the Beautiful was AMAZINGGGG!!!! I also now favor The Chosen and the Beautiful.

[@emanuelaangelini6775]

Hi Noelle! I love your videos xx can you do a new bookshelf tour? also i reccomend you to read Invisible women (it’s an essay about women)

[@Salma-ln1kv]

Speaking of the hating game, I've been searching forever for something that scratches the itch of the hating game like having the same premise and vibe and currently I'm reading the Spanish love deception and thank god for the gift, it's a work rivals enemies to lovers fake dating vacation romance it's just so good, not the hating game legendary level but just close I'm so glad I found about it

[@twilight1023]

I was expecting you to read the heart principle ! I'm shook!!

[@kate-ne]

Lol I know but maybe she wants to read the Kiss Quotient one more time before 😜❤️ I'm like 1/3 thru the Heart Principle and it's good so far but I am expecting the Bride Test to still be my fave of the three...we'll see!

[@mariagiseladelgado8831]

I gave my mom The Hating Game because of you and she loved it! Now I need to read it to see if I agree, but I'm a little hesitant since I'm not the biggest romance reader

[@AliceinMonsterlands2]

At this moment I know every romance book that you loved I will buy instantly😂💕

[@jayweasley]

It was a good reading month as I finally finished a book since April???? I’ve started like 35 and read halfway through at least 10 but I hadn’t finished any until I went camping alone last weekend and finished 3 sweet, gay graphic novels! And they had beautiful representation. They were the tea dragon festival and the tea dragon tapestry, also mooncakes! Wonderful books to get me out of a slump!

[@kelleysullivan8908]

My best book of August was The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner. I also LOVE Beach Read. I love it like you love The Hating Game.

[@brandiwithaneye]

I’m so happy you’re in a better place. I’ve been in a reading rut for July and August so I’m hoping September will bring better days of curling up with a good book. Cheers!

[@asunnybooknook]

I had a great reading month and also greatly enjoyed Beautiful World, Where Are You in august as well! cinematic parallels lol also I read some sci fi this month as well that I enjoyed!!

[@naymadic5053]

Hello Noelle! I just want to tell you that your videos are really really well made. Also, I am finally getting into romances with Beach Read! I am almost done and I am thoroughly enjoying it. Definitely going to pick up The Hating Game soon. And in case you need to hear this: you are a lovely, intelligent and beautiful person and I hope you are well. Love from Germany!

Missed you, Noelle! I hope you’re doing good! 😭✨

Your definitely not alone btw I also feel alone about my mental health til I'm not and hear about some one else's mental health I'm here!

[@mally6101]

noelle is spoiling us these past few weeks!

[@alyssacascos8665]

Wow open water sounds so good and it sounds like the kind of book I would like. I will have to pick it up! Also, my favorite book I read in August was On Earth We're briefly gorgeous by Ocean vuong❤❤❤❤oh my gosh....sooo good. So amazing. My #1 favorite book of the year so far.

[@eles.tonanti]

if you liked Tessa Bailey's writing I would recommend "love her of lose her"!!!! it's one of my favourites and an amazing marriage in trouble romance! sending you lots of love💞

[@jules.mp3]

I thought the audiobook for A Thousand Ships was fantastic. I enjoyed it a lot more than reading the physical book. I love when the author narrates and gets really into the characters and the tone of the story. It was great! x

[@patriciaviana1098]

I watched a bunch of your videos yesterday, I'm so glad you posted :)

[@marianapera16]

I'm so glad for the cc 😢

[@luisamainardes6255]

I just read one book this month, but it was really good. Its called "3,096 Days" by Natascha Kampusch, and tells about her kidnapping with only 10 years old, until her scaping with 18. Really heavy, but really good.

[@michellemann7873]

Omg! I’m reading You Had Me at Hola right now! I read the second book in the series, A Lot Like Adios, first because I received an advanced copy. I absolutely LOVE Alexis Daria’s writing! My fav romance writer for sure!!

[@whitneyhendrix8075]

I had a good reading month! I read Gone girl which I absolutely loved! Also pet semetary, song of Achilles, Goblet of Fire, and Poison for breakfast which is Lemony Snicket’s new release.

[@marcyreads]

I loved The Echo Wife so much. I was surprised at how much I liked it. Glad to hear that you enjoyed it too.

[@katesinit]

Missed you so much! I wish you all the best💕💕💕

[@kaiteequeen95]

I finally read a court of thorns and roses. First book is ok but the second is where it gets really good! A nice romance series if you’re looking, would love to hear your thoughts.

[@kayfour6504]

you look STUNNING, noelle!!!

[@missespink03]

BABES!!! You need to read THE SPANISH LOVE DECEPTION it’s like the hating game and unhoneymooners had a BABY!! Especially as a Latina I can say they captivate the family dynamic and culture so WELL!! Tropes: forced proximity, enemies to lovers, office romance, fake dating, destination romance, sunshine/grumpy

[@Lady95Jane]

I finished Dune which was a huge book on my bucket list for the year.

[@salmasahil5004]

Love the video Noelle, added a few books to my Goodreads never-ending TBR !!!

Your lighting is so good.

[@barbarastevens4922]

I loved daisy Jones and the 6 also Malibu rising. So August thumbs up 👍

[@seattleitaalotroladodelmun2751]

I read the hating game before of you. It was a fun read 😃. I read Know my name and I liked it. I also read a graphic novel called measuring up to read something light and sweet to balance my other more serious books.

[@x3lea866]

Best book I read in August was Malibu Rising!

[@bonniedoeswhat795]

The best thing that I read was The Martian. I didn’t have so much of a reading slump as a life slump, but I only finished two books.

[@vass9822]

Have you read The Lovely War? It's on my TBR. From what I've heard it's a historical fiction which retells one woman's experience in World War I and her relationships through the eyes of the Greek gods and goddesses. I've heard really good things about it and thought it might be up your alley with the mythology elements!

[@jaynelewis372]

If you are interested in mental health addressed in a novel, Imagine Me Gone is superb.

[@jessicachrisley4386]

I already want to reread The Hating Game, and I just read it in July! So thankful Noelle introduced me to that book :)

[@strabckr]

i just finished reading the priory of the orange tree & it’s become one of my favorite books ever!

[@nkfanning]

Currently on a bit of a Greek mythology kick as I’m rereading Percy Jackson and probably going to continue with Heroes of Olympus right after 😅 Definitely need to add A Thousand Ships and Silence of the Girls to my TBR! And I might as well give Song of Achilles/Circe a reread while I’m at it hahaha

[@meri8720]

Yay! You just made my Friday with the new video 💕

[@Wolfhailstorm]

I keep meaning to get to the silence of the girls! I read Beach Read during August too! I ABSOLUTELY loved it!! What a fantastic reading month! I read 10 books and a lot of good stuff was there for me :D

[@tuniemert]

I read the first two Brown Sisters books (LOVED THEM), Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, Double Indemnity, and My Dark Vanessa. Clearly my august reads were heavily influenced by you and Kat 😂😂😂 a bit of a slower month for me, but hoping to get back to my book worm ways in September!!

[@paulinasalman5989]

You make me (as always) add a bunch of new reads to my to be read! Loved your video Noelle!

[@JAKandtheBookStack]

I really want to read It Happened One Summer! After hearing she is inspired by Alexis from Schitt’s Creek I’m SOLD

[@Emma-bz3we]

Just sending some love and appreciation for these videos!

[@spastrana2392]

Noelle! You need to read The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas. It’s The Hating Game with fake dating, travel and just amazing! The steaminess is amazing, the love attraction, a super slow burn and the male main character is to die for!

[@kate-ne]

I just saw last week Open Water was added to my library's Libby, need to snag that ASAP!

FriYAY with a new video! 🤩

[@nikkiblum1046]

Have you ever read The Simple Wild by K. A. Tucker? If not, I think you would really like it! It Happened One Summer reminded me of it a lot, but (in my opinion) the main character is a lot more likable from the beginning in The Simple Wild! And bonus, the third book in that series is coming out pretty soon if you end up liking the first one :D
