[@sixofchaos]

omg the content we are being served!!!!! i can't keep up with all these videos!!!!! keep going queen!!!! also the way you slid into that sponsor like "did you know jaime's an actress?" had me giggling lol

[@chloebunnie]

hehehehehe 🥰😈🖤

[@alltoomell3701]

“mean boy isn’t a term anyway” YES! The simple fact that the term mean boy doesn’t exist but mean girl does, says everything about the subtle ways sexism runs deep in society

[@chloebunnie]

exactly!!!!

[@daniariaz7110]

Kevin: quoting taylor swift Chloe: pls I'm not equipped for that right now If this isn't a mood

[@SharniandBooks]

Thank you for including miscarriages in your trigger warnings for the book. I haven’t read it, so I don’t know how much it plays a part in the story, but I’ve noticed people always leave miscarriage off their trigger warning list in book reviews unless it is a huge part of the story. As someone who has had many miscarriages while I was trying to conceive, I’ve been sent into an anxious/panicky spiral too many times because I didn’t know a book was going to have miscarriages in it. Also, I fully support you dnfing vicious because I hated that book lol

[@chloebunnie]

of course! 🖤 and yep… what i read was NOT good hahahaha

[@millieburns4307]

The way you feel about Conversations with Friends being like a dark cloud over your head is the way I feel about Normal People! I definitely liked Conversations with Friends a LOT more.

[@kleccc5]

I was literally about to comment that too! I have only read normal people but honestly I didn’t feel “happy” during that read, and I was experiencing discomfort and anxiety during many parts of it. I liked it tho, very much, but I wouldn’t consider it a light read at all

[@millieburns4307]

Me too! It made me feel horrible and put me in a slump!

[@romae.22]

20:03 “Chloe there’s a squirrel!” And then Chloe’s laugh is the cutest thing😂

[@anyadendulk]

hearing you talk about the parts you love about Sally Rooney's books makes me feel like you'd really love Fredrik Backman's books. He has hard hitting topics in every book but still remains hopeful and heartwarming at the same time. He also has an amazing writing style like Sally Rooney, I love her writing (only read Normal People so far)! Hope you're doing well:)

[@slightlyobsessed-sarah9419]

Yes I’ve had this thought before too! I think Chloe would love both Beartown and Us against you by Frederick Backman it has all the vibes she loves in books ✨

[@anyadendulk]

@@slightlyobsessed-sarah9419 yes!!! Exactly!! I think so too, and he writes such honest emotions and characters in his books, they’re hard not to love 💗

[@emmablythe116]

THANK YOU Backman is one of my favorites ever, makes me cry every time 🥲

[@anyadendulk]

@@emmablythe116 same!

[@imthecandyqueen]

To me Backman is “the Wes Anderson of books”!☺️

[@maddyc8554]

Please- Your reading vlogs are always the highlight of my day!

[@sgtgrey]

YES. Conversations with friends was so messy but beautiful, and it shows the complexity of love. Also the ending made me sort of mad but it was also beautiful. AND THE LAST LINE!

[@madi8460]

NO SERIOUSLY LIKE HUH- I WANT A SECOND BOOK 😭

[@reanna187]

I have never been a romance reader until this year. It’s been a particularly hard year for me so I picked up a romance book. They’re so lighthearted and funny and they honestly just make me feel better. I think it’s cool that you’re also getting more into romance reads this year as well and I love these videos.

[@dreamerofrealms]

you sly little rascal mentioning the sponsor in such a stunning way ✨ 🖤 ✨

[@maxwell2870]

I recently read conversations with friends and really really loved it. this coming from a reader who only reads mystery thriller novels. Sally Rooney has such a talent for making readers feel like the story is about them. can't wait for the TV show !!!!

[@lauraaflorres]

the vibes are always immaculate ✨😩

[@iheick768]

Two books that have Sally Rooney vibes are You Exist Too Much by Zaina Arafat and The Girls by Emma Cline. I also recommend My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh. I’m reading that book now and loving it. It is definitely one of those books you either love or hate, but I feel like you would love it!

[@Erika-pq7ip]

Ughhh her videos are the most healinghhhhh

[@lindseybellon]

normal people: UGH ! eXaCtLY !!!! 🤧 conversations with friends: ugh 🤨 exactly..🙄

[@diogoallen6647]

[@anieli800]

It's sooo cool that you now have a Kindle! I've had my paperwhite for almost 6 years and it is still completely worh it and comfortable to read with. 😌 I haven't tried Sally Rooney but with your reccomendations I got motivated to give it a try! 💕 Please never stop making videos, they make my day brighter 🥰

[@psychedbypat]

[@girlwiththemagicpen]

We love to see it 🥰

[@dreamerofrealms]

in 12:40 when you mentioned how you hate all of the expectations that come with being a woman and i just remembered when i had a conversation like that with my mom the other day and i was pretty sure she could feel my annoyance from across the room.

[@thyleia]

EXACTLY THE VLOG I WAS EXPECTING ✨ I LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE CONVERSATION WITH FRIENDS IT WAS SO GOOD 💛 Any Sally Rooney piece? AMAZING ✨

[@smiley1girl00]

conversations with friends was v depressing but sally rooney’s writing makes it so worth it. i don’t think i could get through a book like that if it wasn’t for her writing style

[@blueyedbooks]

I need to own those tea dragon books!! Sooo adorable!! & i love Sally Rooney, so so much. Their truly is no one like her!!! 💞

[@chloebunnie]

[@arielmarie8493]

I got Normal People by Sally Rooney not to long ago and can't wait to read it for the first time P.S. Where do you get your bookmarks from I love them ?

[@jelisavetaikic2755]

i think you might enjoy alone with you in the ether by olivie blake. i'm reading it right now and absolutely loving it, reminds me of normal people, mostly for the overall vibe of the book! xx

[@lucy43]

Kiki's Delivery Service is my favorite Studio Ghibli movie also. I would love to read the novel the movie is based on.

[@anyalaa]

I really really want to see everything you annotated in conversations with friends because I annotated my copy and I LOVE looking at what everyone else thinks about it.

I’d say Boy parts and Luster had similar vibes for me to Sally Rooney books!

That’s exactly what I felt when reading conversations with friends it’s like sally Rooney is stalking me and I was reading about myself

[@shhhn5282]

I might be late but I’m obsessed with your bookmark!! Where did you get it??

[@kristinamarino1592]

Do you have a link where to buy that beautiful Pride and Prejudice bookmark?

[@kileylaurellraica1857]

Serious question, how annoying are the adds on your new kindle? Can’t decide if it’s worth the cost for the “no ads” kindle or not.

[@daniariaz7110]

Just curious but why did you decide to buy a kindle when you already have an iPad?

[@erinb4680]

Oh my god I was not expecting that berries and cream. Really can't escape it

Sally Rooney’s Hate Is the New Normal It is not easy to convince the Snapchat generation to read books. To do so, you must be a gifted writer and know which buttons to press in young people’s hearts. Sally Rooney, a young Irish author, is that kind of writer. Her first two books have won multiple awards and she is widely regarded as one of the most prominent voices of millennials. Rooney is also very opinionated. She is a self-proclaimed Marxist and an avid supporter of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement (BDS). In line with her views, she has refused to sell translation rights to Israeli publishers. Because of her notoriety, her decision caused quite a stir. The New York Times stated, “Sally Rooney Declines to Sell Translation Rights to Israeli Publisher.” CNN echoed, “Sally Rooney refuses to sell Hebrew rights for latest book to Israeli publisher, citing political objections,” and other prominent news outlets also reported her decision. In response, Israel's two largest bookstore chains announced that they would pull all of Rooney's titles from their shelves. This also caused a stir, though not as much. The BBC reported it, as did The Guardian and other British news outlets. Naturally, the Jewish press was all over the case, as well. I sympathize with the response of the bookstore chains, just as I was in favor of banning other individuals and brands that boycott Israel. At the same time, I understand why they are doing this, and I am glad that it is causing a stir in Israel. We can look the other way for only so long. At some point, we will have to ask ourselves why the world hates us, and it is better if we do it now than later. We need to use such incidents constructively. By "constructively," I mean that we should use them as an impetus to return to the roots of our nation, to our fundamental principles of mutual responsibility and brotherly love. These are the building blocks of our nation, and these are the qualities that we lost long ago and for which we were exiled from Israel. When we were cast as a nation that was to be “a light unto nations,” we were made to reflect the splendor of love of others to the entire world. Long before we gave the world Albert Einstein and Arthur Rubenstein, we gave it “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Granted, we did not quite manage to make it a reality, but the idea itself was, and still is, so novel, so unlike human nature, that to this day it seems undoable. Still, the world will not leave us in peace until we begin to implement this very legacy we had left to humanity. Indeed, it makes perfect sense to demand that the progenitors of this sublime idea be the first to implement it. The more the world becomes divided and hostile, the more it needs its opposite - love of others. The more people hate each other, the more they will demand that we love each other, and they will hate us for not doing so and setting an example for the world to follow. In the near future, numerous celebrities, pundits, and politicians will declare their disapproval of Israel. They will not justify our existence as a sovereign state unless we justify it by setting an example of unity. Nothing else will satisfy them; nothing else will appease their hatred. For more on this, see my publication The Jewish Choice: Unity or Anti-Semitism...
