i'm already happy with myself because i'm in a 5 year book slump and last year i read a grand total of 1 book, while this year so far i've read 2 and a half books in 9 days. progress is progress. hope you (and everyone reading this) have a good reading year and a good year in general too :)

I was in a 4 year reading slump because of uni, but last year i made sure to make time to read at least half an hour per day or a few times a week and i read 9 books!! I made a resolution to reat 20 books 😁

[@Amystudio]

There’s something about Colleen Hoover that when I see the books I run in the opposite direction, they give me the ick without ever reading a single one, idk why.

[@edilyaaang6107]

Lol same! I just don't know what turns me off of the books when I haven't even read a single one from her. I love romance in any kind and I probably just neet to give her a chance but everytime I come across her books, it's just NOPE BYE

This was wonderful! I felt the exact same way about The Picture of Dorian Grey. Also, I had just reread Rebecca before I tried to read Verity and got about 20 pages in before I DNF’d. I therefore loved your comment on “respect yourself and read Rebecca instead.” That was my first and last Colleen Hoover experience.😂

Thank you for the Yona of the dawn appreciation. Even though the manga is fairly popular for a shoujo I still feel like it’s a tad underrated. Can’t wait to see you delve more into the upcoming volumes. Also can’t wait for your chain of thorns review when it comes out.

because you love the night circus (my favourite book) and you talked so highly about yona of the dawn in your previous manga video, that's what prompted me to watch the anime (bc i trusted your taste) and then i became OBSESSED and read the ENTIRE manga series in 2022 and now i'm completely almost up to date haha! i read 81 books in 2022 which is huge for me since i've been in a reading slump for like 7 years (didn't read much all throughout high school). but out of 81 books, 39 were just all of the yona of the dawn volumes so.... yeah. :') thanks for introducing me to the series and the manga continues to get so so much better from where you've left off! :D

I read 'The Starless Sea' by Erin Morgenstern last year only because of you. Such high praise from you made me really curious about it even though I didn't like fantasy much. It's my favourite book of the year now and I am so glad I read it. It's one of the most poetic and enchanting books I've ever read. It literally reads like a fairytale. Thank you for the wonderful recommendation.

[@beachyv16]

That was my first book in 2022 because of Hannah! You might consider reading "the girl who fell beneath the sea" by axie Oh. Even though the books are very different, they both hold such a deep love for the concept of what a story is and were my top 2 books of 2022. It's fantasy fiction, with some historical aspects and is based on Korean classic novel

[@yaminisharma921]

Btw I JUST COMPLETED SORCERY OF THORNS AFTER YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS AND IT IS JUST SOO GOOD! ur taste in book is chef's kiss

[@codedcarla]

[@moi1310]

Also if you want more manga recommendations I would recommend you, Natsume's book of friends. Such an unique story that makes me feel emotions I didn't know I had, in a range so beautiful thinking about it makes me so emotional. It's the story about an orphan able to see which others usually don't see, creatures and spirits called yokai, who settles down in his grandmothers hometown. There he learns that he has inherited from her her book of friends which has the power to control yokai, and decides with a cat as his bodyguard to give back the names to the yokai, in the process getting to know his grandmother by their memories. It's also a story about threading the human and supernatural world, trying to find one place in the world where you belong. QQ Sweeper/Queens Quality. The author once said she wanted to write the darkest shojo, and I can totally see that happening here. It's an very unique shojo fantasy story about a cursed girl and a boy, and cleaning. The story begins with QQ Sweeper which has 3 volumes then continues with Queens Quality where the story is taken to a new direction so I don't want to spoil to much. My love story!! This is one of the cutest romance stories ever. It's about a big man whos never experienced love, and he has a super popular friend. One day he rescues a girl and they start going out. It's really cute and so worth it if you just want fluff, romance, and humor! Noragami. I feel like this one has a vibe somewhat similar to AkaYona even though they don't have much in common, I guess it's the familiar emotional type of similarity? Anyways it's the story about a girl who saves a boy from getting run over, but in the process splits her soul from her body. Apparently the boy is no normal boy but a god, though not your well known god that you worship but one who has to work like crazy in order not to be forgotten and then disappear. It's quite heavy on lore and stuff, but it's totally worth it, such an amazing story. I think I wanted to share more but I tried too hard to explain these series well though I'm not very good at it. I hope you will like them if you decide to check them out!

Excellent analysis and review🤩! Congratulations on a lot of excellent books, our taste is almost the same 🤗

[@booberry1623]

I've really enjoyed hearing all your thoughts about the books you read this year! I especially appreciate that you have some classics in there. I'm trying to get back into reading more, both classics and otherwise. Have you read the novella Of Mice and Men? I read it recently and it really stuck with me, long after I read it. It was the perfect length, not overstaying its welcome, and the characters were so unlike myself and yet so intriguing and interesting. The language is definitely dated, but at the same time makes sense in the context of the story. I'm curious about your thoughts on it, but I also understand that you must have a huge backlog of books to get through. I'll have to check out The Portrait of Dorian Gray, it'll be the next classic I pick up from the library.
