Im curious about your opinions on The Series of Unfortunate Events! LOOVED that series growing up and I want to reread it again so bad. I remember feeling really seen for some reason. Felt like such an important book for kids by showing them they could survive hardships and that adults and society can be absolutely stupid. WAHH i loved it~ New to the channel so sorry if you've already talked about it in another video!

not sure if anyone else commented this but aqua is basically a 'prequel' to the series aria, that's probably why you can't find any more volumes! if you search up 'Aria The Masterpiece Manga' you can find all the volumes, volume 1 has the first two volumes (aqua) and then the other volumes contain the rest of the series. it's absolutely beautiful and one of the greatest manga ever written.

I love this video. Like love love, have to re-watch and take notes kind of love. So many books that I also love and so many that I [now] plan to pick up. And I really appreciate the winter category. I also love snow and ice and will always give a winter book a second look. Thank you!

[@gingervandorsten5963]

I'm pretty sure some other people have recommended this before, but the way you talked about Castle in the Clouds here really reminded me of the Winterhouse trilogy by Ben Guterson! They're not flawless books but the atmosphere is my favourite and it's one of my all time favourite middle grade series. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone if you ever get your hands on it!

FYI, The Audiobook Game of Thrones is something to behold. I do not understand why so m any people have knocked it. The narrator, Roy Doltrice, is an award winner who holds the record for the most voices in one reading of a book. He had created over 224 different voices when reading it aloud for us!!! What???

A handful of my favorites: To the Lighthouse - Virginia Woolf (all-time favorite) Never Let Me Go - Kazuo Ishiguro (my first Ishiguro and it broke me) The Giver - Lois Lowry (read for the first time in 4th or 5th grade and became a yearly re-read for many many years after) Lincoln in the Bardo - George Saunders (the writing in this book carried me in a way I can't shake) Where the Sidewalk Ends - Shel Silverstein (my copy of this is so battered from reading the poems over and over and over as a child. I even still have some of the poems memorized)

⭐️I’m so so happy to hear you talk about Anne because that’s probably my favorite book ever and it’s funny bc I prefer to read contemporary Latin American literature (I mean I just finished a degree on that haha). I feel so related to the way you talk about it bc it has given me so many beautiful things in my life ❤ also I just started reading The girl who drank the moon and I’m loving it! I’m so much more excited now that I know that you did too. Btw, I strongly recommend you reading the manga Witch hat atelier!!! Another five star for me!!
