[@darrinsiberia]

[@madisenkrapf8288]

mother delivers yet again

[@jobuckley2999]

Great fun as usual. Rocked the jeans and jacket. You had a great reading year and the I really enjoyed your concise summaries in this video. I can see you being successful in theater or possibly teaching it someday. Thanks for the video.

[@celebrityauthor7942]

On your recommendation I just finished reading Small Things Like These. Thank you! It's sublime.

[@ilovebigbooks]

I found your channel and have binged every video! I absolutely love it. Keep up the good work! ❤

[@HeatherB81]

The jeans you are wearing are super cute! 💁🏼‍♀️

[@dorakhoury3013]

Ana: "The Vegetarian! EVERYONE knows this book!!" Me: 👁👄👁

[@literarylivi]

Thank you for the notes in the books you sent me. The fact you took the time to do that is so sweet! And I’ll be keeping your airport receipt exactly where you put it. 🤣 cant wait to get to around to reading them. ☺️

[@laurakistemaker8918]

This outfit.. obsessed with the look So cute

[@Maya-11146]

This lady can wear anything and look good!

[@dana7223]

If nothing else, this video taught me that you’re great at accents. You even managed to get the differences between Texas and Appalachia accents, which a lot of people would wrongly say are the same.

[@aliciamaya2709]

i found ur channel a few days ago and have been utterly obsessed! would love to know what booktubers u watch / the reading circles ur in because i love this taste in books

[@EvieM1]

Came for the books, stayed for the accents (and books).

[@SharonBeriro]

happiest of birthdays dearest Ana! we love this video and every other! sending virtual hugs and hoping for another year of health, joy, and literature

[@brynperry3740]

All your faves were mine too, so glad to have your recommendations!

[@j7055]

1- 40 minutes yeah!!!!! 2- I’m reading the bluest eye and you’re absolutely right about the it being the best intro to morrison. I’m a baby and beloved scared me off morrison for a while 3- outfit is a serve

[@AnaWallaceJohnson]

Luv u. And The Bluest Eye-oh, it breaks my heart. So good

[@zoez0908]

the canadian tuxedo is so good

[@morganp4249]

Oh AWJ I could hear you talk about books all day 🥰 Also the array of voices/accents you showcased in this video could be compiled for an actor’s reel 😂

[@oyasumikisi4935]

Your videos bring me so much joy! thank you for this one!

[@axelinaandersson7118]

Just found your channel and gurl I’m here to stay. Love your energy and taste in book. Gonna binge all of your videos now

[@ritas140]

Omg you read Plainsong 🥳🥳 Eventide is even better!

[@antonelamonteleone6853]

Happy birthday Ana! 🎉. Mine was a few days ago, so I consider this video as a birthday gift 😊. Have a wonderful 2024, love love love your videos! Hugs from Argentina 🇦🇷

[@ell-111]

here's to you ana🥂 older and wiser, but no less of a diva

[@nastyaburda2462]

Going till the end of each cardio session strong with your videos. You go, girl! Warm hugs from Ukraine ❤️

[@SongwritingJoe]

Chronological order, numbered in reverse, is phenomenally new for me

[@Horses23ful]

I enjoy your videos thank you so much. Your a very pretty lady.

[@yevheniia.yevheniia]

LP reference was such a flashback 🤧 Happy (late) birthday! Lots of love from Ukraine, thank you for not being indifferent to our country and its history. Heard about your channel from our booktuber @Peake-week papers a couple of years ago, and that mention was on point. Always a pleasure and relaxation to watch your videos ❤️

[@sophias9686]

Fantastic video as always. Happy new year! Also, that British accent was amazing.

[@reaganwiles_art]

They "shy tuxedo" comment followed by that purling groove gave me a little nerve-purr.

[@nka30]

Love love these videos from you ❤

[@malikbarry7542]

Definitely should start with Bluest Eye and finish with Beloved. Sula after Bluest Eye and Song of Solomon before Beloved

[@chiarapatsias]

I have had white teeth in my tbr forever! I must read it in 2024!!

[@zsadiq8491]

Great video! ❤ Was expecting a better reaction for Ishiguro’s The Remains of the Day than just “good”😂. I really enjoyed that one the most out of all his other books I have read.

[@jibby1986]

Before you get a bunch of wise ass comments, you have a typo in your title. It says 2024 when you meant 2023. Thanks for the video! Now I have something to watch while I’m on mute during this boring zoom meeting!

[@AnaWallaceJohnson]

Omg, hahaha. I’m ready for the future apparently. Thanks for that. Zoom meetings!!! Oof! Good luck, baby

[@Brittreads]

Not me also watching this on mute in a zoom meeting 😂

[@PaperbackJourneys]

Ugh... I wanted to be a lil wise ass! 😡

[@poetrybysuhashani__]

adding these to my 2024 tbr ☕

[@polly2900]

Plainsong is the first book in a trilogy. Just put it on hold at my local library.

[@josephinedonnelley4762]

Fantastic video! Thx

[@dlorana]

you are the coolest person on the internet

[@gloriathompson423]

thank you

[@fatimayamin971]

Happy birthday and loved the video! Would love to recommend Adania Shiblis “minor detail” it’s fantastic

[@elysec8726]

The Nose is covered in George Saunders ‘A Swim in a Pond in the Rain’ where he shares how he teaches Russian short stories. Sounds like a cool theater piece!

[@Richard.HistoryLit]

As they say in Rimmel-Town, sound. Lol

[@warpspeedch1c]

Love your taste in books. Just finished reading The White Tiger, it was brilliant. Also, do you read poetry? I'd love to know what you'd recommend

[@msfrancesinha3272]

Happy Birthday! 🥳🥳 have a wonderful day! And happy new year! (I'm a bit late ahaha)

[@alicehomann8489]

its time to update my medimops wishlist

[@kaybanks8781]

Great books! Go Ask Alice - whew the memories. I read this as part of a trio of cautionary tales when I was probably 12 or 13. It was Alice, Lisa Light and Dark and then a "duology" with one story about a high school boy who was an alcoholic and the second one was about two girls who were promiscuous, each one taking on football team in parking lot or something. It was a time - whoa. Love your chanel.

[@tinychipmunk0]

I was really excited for The Glutton but giiiiirl, I could not stomach it. Maybe I will be able for revisit it later on when I’m in the headspace to take on the deranged.

[@AnaWallaceJohnson]

Hahaha! I should warn that it’s super gruesome! The rat scene wooooof I get your disgust, don’t worry

[@polly2900]

Hemingway's writing not my cup of tea but I enjoyed reading a lot of biographies about him.

[@Ab1g4il]

the linkin park lyrics i'm wheezing lkjdsfa

[@wildatheartbabe8382]

But I am, I am, I am is a memoir! 😭😭

[@Sthemingway]

I've not read the book, but I liked your Linkin Park reference when you talked about Plainsong. ^J^

[@ryanand154]

The Monstrous Calamity of Birth by Janice Redwheel-Cromwell

[@avonleejanik2556]

Hi Ana :) Please correct me if I'm wrong but it doesn't appear that you read very much speculative fiction and I'm curious whether that's an intentional choice- maybe you haven't had much luck with the genre in the past- or whether you just haven't dipped your toes into it yet. I adore you and your channel

[@mmelusinne]

HAHAHAH the linkin park reference, I'm crying omg aaahaha

[@hande1077]

Loved this and definitely have to pick up some of these books! Would love you to read "The Door" by Magda Szabó and have your thoughts on it. :) x

[@Horses23ful]

Ana how do your stack your books on the wall with out them falling over? Do you like reading westerns I like the spanish bit saga by Don Cold Smith. The Sackett is a good book by Louis L'amour. It's Awsome you can read so many books. Thanks for the video.

[@londekandukuda3422]

love this review, couldn't stand "The Vegetarian"

[@AnaWallaceJohnson]

It was good, just not a love, ya know?

[@mercurywasted4921]

Can we be besties or start a BookClub! I love ur taste in books so much!!! And a woman of the visual arts ?? Pls omg you make me wanna come back to booktube

[@rubyanddelilahandnani]

Ana can you tell us where you got your book tower? I have seen them on amazon, but they don’t seem to be that tall 🤔

[@knitnkitten]

Old white British bloke author Recommendation: Watership Down, by Richards Adams (his only worthwhile novel).

[@julie.k15]

so.good.

[@knitnkitten]

another recommendation: any book by Emily Carr

[@jacktheblackcat17]

Ana! Important question. Do you think it was better to read The Pianist before you watched the movie, or should I do it the reverse order? I’ve been trying to figure out which to start with for a while and I probably should’ve just picked one at this point, but what is your opinion? Awesome video. I love your book recs

[@beezeep30]

I’m sure you get this Q a lot but do you have an IG? 😊 Also, where did you get your book tower in the back? I need one!!

[@johnshupe]

I love you.

[@yevheniia.yevheniia]

Oh and btw Gogol's name is actually Mykola, he was Ukrainian. Would love to see you perform in the play!

[@LittleMew133]

You're funny 😊

[@AvatarSoul]

A perfect stranger sucked to be honest.

[@camillodimaria3288]

Ha ! 😊

[@javaguy5783]

Wait , what ? Did you say you sold a book ? You should hold onto your books because they are part of your future kids inheritance. :)

[@cathy2142]

As a Christian, I get the name of Jesus is meaningless to you, but if you insist on using that as an expletive I am unfortunately going to be unsubbing😢.
