Enjoyable video! Alas, I have read NONE of them...I am aware of many of them from having watched your channel the past year, but gay books don't often pop up in the thrift stores where I get the majority of my books. I will keep watching for them! A positive thing I can share is that I have read 6 books so far this year! Last year I did well to read 1 a month, so I am off to a good start. Thanks for the video, as always...your enthusiasm is infectious!

Hi friend, thank you so much. Love that you get so many of your books from thrift stores. I still can’t get over your 2000+ book collection! 6 book, you are off to a great start. I love that! Also, I can’t believe you’ve been watching for a year. That’s a lot of me to handle! 😂

Hi Jack! I totally understand! Recommeding books (or anything really) is hard; rationally I known that it's not a big deal, but it still feels a bit like failing a test if I give a bad recommendation. 😂 I should give Sarah Winman's a try, I've heard so many good things but I've still been a bit hesitant to pick up one of her books, I'm not even sure why! A book I'd always recommend is "Last Night at the Telegraph Club", I haven't read a lot of YA recently but this book blew my socks off, it's just so good. A book that everybody recommended but that I struggled with is "This Is How You Lose the Time War". I'm not much of a sci-fi reader to begin with and I also found it too confusing. Maybe I should try it in translation, because I swear after trying to read it I started doubting that I know and understand English.

Hi friend! Sorry for the late reply. You are so right, it definitely feels like failing a test! And I hate it 😂 I hope you give Sarah Winman a try, I adore her books. And Last Night At The Telegraph Club is a phenomenal book! 😊

Excuse me? All the books you loved we put into your tbr jar? Not one good enough for number eight? 😂 The Song of Achilles is totally overhyped. You are absolutely in the right. 😉

You are so right! How could I say that?! I’m ashamed of myself! Love to meet a fellow The Song of Achilles hater 😂
