EVERYTHING I READ RECENTLY - 10 BOOKS TO ADD TO YOUR TBR PILE | LUCY WOOD

[@leenanorms]

LOVED this. The 'my least favourite gold bar' analogy is so spot on. Looking forward to more book stuff from you :)

[@opollitico]

Omg @leenanorms follows lucywood ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ❤️❤️

[@hollyelms9469]

I am here for all the book content ( any Lucy content really) but book content especially!!

[@LucyJaneWood]

That makes my heart HAPPY x

[@jos5241]

Me too!!

[@twelvetimesme]

So glad to see you in my KZbin feed again 😍😍

[@LucyJaneWood]

This warms the cockles of my heart

[@km692]

“I was too busy thinking about McFly”, if that doesn’t sum up my entire school life 🤣 really loving your book and home content!

[@livonimpulse]

I love book chat! I went to a “quiet reading hour” at a bookshop today and it was so lovely! I’m currently reading Catherine House by Elisabeth Thomas. Malibu Rising is on my to read list!

[@helen1622]

Where was this please? Love that idea 😍🥰

[@livonimpulse]

@@helen1622 Search for “the book hive Norwich” and it’s in their events page ☺️ You can join via Zoom or in person. It was very peaceful.

[@kizzyneetyan]

I would be thrilled for you to do more bookish content! I know how hard the fashion content must be, and how time-intensive the home videos are, so it's cool that you also have the option to do these sit down chatty videos just about books! I haven't read any of these but I'm definitely going to check some of them out!

[@rosemoorcroft6842]

When you said you recognised passages of Wuthering Heights my mind thought 'because it's quoted in Twilight'!

[@Nicole-zy4vb]

I love this! I'd love for you to include why you picked up the book in the first place, or how you find books. You definitely mention reasons about most of the books (You love TJReid, you are trying to read more classics after uni, love female friendship) but maybe a little more? That's such an interesting aspect of reading/taste to me! What drew the reader in initially.

[@lynmcleod4155]

Ooooooh yes I agree!!

[@500daysofellie]

I'd love for you to do more book vids, I read where the crawdads sing and all of Stacey Halls' books because of your other videos :)))

[@LucyJaneWood]

Ahh that's awesome! Glad to hear it :)

[@darbyalana]

Yes to more book chat! You are my go-to for great book recommendations and I get stuck when I've read everything you've recommended before the next video comes out!

[@babetteateoatmeal7854]

Speaking of Mick Riva showing up in both Malibu Rising and The 7 Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, he also shows up in Daisy Jones & The Six. He attends a party Daisy is hosting and I literally screamed when I read his name. He's like the Kirk of Taylor Jenkins Reid novels, there's no escaping him.

[@darrenmoo21]

Never clicked so quickly! Buzzing for an upload from my fave!!!

[@LucyJaneWood]

Ahhh thank you for letting me keep you company

[@hannahmoore8485]

I didn't love wuthering heights. Some classics I did really enjoy: Jane Eyre, Emma, Far from the Madding Crowd. If you haven't read them yet, would recommend!! Xx

[@turtlegoescanada]

I LOVE that you're going to do more book content and that this video is on the longer side, thank you! If you love the book-within-a-book format, I HIGHLY recommend Magpie Murders and Moonflower Murders by Anthony Horowitz. They are about a contemporary books editor who gets caught up in a murder mystery and the clues to the murder might just be in the book she was just editing... As a reader you get both books in full (the contemporary one, and the murder mystery she was editing, which is old-fashioned and reads like an Agatha Christie) and they're both SO good. Super clever and gripping storytelling!

[@zoelibens3359]

Yes, totally second this! I loved both of them!

[@awaytowear5102]

Read Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier. It is breathtaking. So up for the book chat, writing my own at the moment 😅

[@sueinns5048]

Any Lucy video is appreciated but as an avid reader this is awesome!! Thank you!!!

[@sophiageron4197]

“People We Meet on Vacation” by Emily Henry! It’s my must read this year! These book haul/review videos of yours are my favorite ❤️

[@RoxiriOrSokai]

I just finished that one! Very cute rom-com book

[@krystinapearson8417]

This has all the cozy vibes. This lighting is perfect! 😍

[@lucyjeffs4952]

Yay! I would love to see top ten comfort reads( just easy, probably mind numbing chick flick content) thank you! X

[@amyevans8463]

Yes please please please keep up the book content,it's the only thing keeping me motivated to read

[@kcnbt99]

Haven't finished the video yet but Inheritance Games and its second book has been an obsession lately! I think you'd love it.

[@chloeprior8858]

You describe the plot of books so beautifully, definitely need to look into some of these books and get back into reading properly! :)

[@sophx7845]

Hi Lucy, came to your channel a few years ago for the mid-size clothing but really enjoying these “different” videos. Also love a good book chat as I’m trying to put time aside to read more, so thank you. X

[@isbaileyreading]

You’re one of the only channels I watch that isn’t BookTube so I love when you dabble with book videos! Happy reading!

[@redstar1976]

I'd love to see more book content from you - people talking about books is my absolute favourite thing and you're clearly a really thoughtful and enthusiastic reader.

[@flowerfaerie567]

Ooh. I'm adding 'They both die at the end' and 'Such a fun age' to my birthday list! 😍 Love your book videos. 😁

[@cellelavie]

yess to more book content! i love reading vlogs with daily life stuff thrown in as well!

[@eddieobrien2315]

My never ending to be read list continues to grow! Looking forward to more book content 😊 Also reputation and blood orange is only 99p on kindle at the moment

[@Cb88229]

Yay to more book content! Liking the sound of Expectation, I’ve picked it up in Waterstones a few times but will have to check it out.

[@fancyxnancyx]

Everytime you upload a book video, my TBR pile starts to cry as I add more to it! Always love your recommendations and I need to get back to reading again

[@emilyjarvis1201]

Absolutely loved this! So good to have you’re videos back in my subscription feed and with a book video 🥳 don’t know about anyone else but I LOVE watching reading vlogs they make me feel inspired to pick up a book when I’m in a slump!

[@lucydunlevy8391]

100% felt the same about Malibu Rising - give me a full book on June and Mick’s relationship please!

[@MoominAlanna]

10000 % up for book tube Lucy! Added everything to the TBR Have you got storygraph? I’m obsessed with it and I think you’ll like the stats part of it as well!

[@hayleylouise7051]

Mick Riva is also mentioned in Daisy Jones - all 3 of those books link to the same universe. TJR is an author that is an auto buy for me now. She’s such an incredible story teller and her ability to make the characters she writes feel like real people is just AMAZING.

[@emmadalby3638]

Would recommend watching any videos Murphy Napier has made about Wuthering Heights and how it’s completely misclassified as romance and is actually a tragedy about the cycles of abuse, because that totally changed my opinion of the book!

[@anythingbutcoffee5211]

PLEASE talk more about books! This was so much fun, one of my favourite videos of yours 😊

[@laurenshikari]

MORE BOOK CONTENT PLS AND THANK U!!! Not enough of this on KZbin and I need it so badly

[@lynmcleod4155]

Yessss! I recently got back into reading book! This is perfect! Not a huge fan of self help books and that’s what seems so popular right now - but I forgot how much reading improves my mental health🥺🥺🥺 taking a break from a screen and the world 👏

[@LucyJaneWood]

Im not into self help books much either, fiction all the way for me :)

[@mawolf87]

Same! Absolutely the same

[@probablyhyperfixating]

Yes self help books are either nicely telling you to get ur ish together or yelling at you to get ur ish together... Either way uh not for me

[@lynmcleod4155]

@@probablyhyperfixating haha yes…. And for me they’re not page turners haha I love a good fiction 🙌🙌

[@BeckyC123]

Thank you for the recommendations! Just easing myself back into reading for some pre-bedtime stress relief & gravitating more towards the 'lighter' reads - can't deal with the heavier themes right now!

[@verity1mckeon]

I love the book content! I really look forward to it. I used to be an avid reader but I have two toddlers now so I love at least hearing about some 😂 I also know what to buy instead of spending time on something I won’t enjoy when I do have a bit of time

[@whatamiedid4014]

Yes, more book content would be great! Also, although I've never watched Gilmore Girls I still watched the entire video 😂 I'd be more than happy to listen to more 'niche' videos on TV shows!x

[@Snugglecher]

I want Lucy's down & dirty opinion on How I Met Your Mother!

[@SherbetLemonMate]

So pleased to find someone else who didn't enjoy Wuthering Heights 😅 Such A Fun Age has been on my TBR pile for ages and Reputation is definitely going on now! Just finished Beekeeper of Aleppo and I'm about half way through The Midnight Library - would definitely recommend them both!

[@katarinala]

yayyy it’s been so long 🥰🥰 ps yes PLEASE more book content

[@LucyJaneWood]

Ahhh Im sorry for disappearing! I started to feel a bit weird about vlogging, but I hope this long one makes up for it :)

[@emilymontague8550]

Obsessed with that cosy corner set up

[@aprilrachelle]

Loved this!! You inspired me to start reading again a year ago and I’ve stayed on top of it since..100% makes my days better

[@lindsayrowland5122]

Yes, bring on the book chats! 📚 I loved hearing about all of these, will definitely be adding a few of them to my reading list. 😁 Also- love the Luke’s mug!! ☕️ Did you know the actor who plays him recently started a podcast? I’ve been listening to it lately and it’s wonderful, definitely recommend to all Gilmore fans!

[@noelakine]

Love book chat! I'm trying to throw in the occasional classic into my reading list as well. Coming from a German speaking country I have recently loved Effi Briest by Theodore Fontane and anything Thomas Mann. For a more contemporary dip into German literature: A whole life by Robert Seethaler and Where you come from by Sasa Stanisic 😊

[@LynnetteReads]

I would watch anything you record about books! I originally found you through a book video and stayed for everything else so more book content to me is a bonus!

[@marie-dominikdemers5170]

I love those book review videos. I find myself going back and re watching months later for book inspiration.

[@LakasitasANDgarrotes]

I'm SO in for the book chat!. I have to say I'd never been a huge bookworm but I've started to read more since I watched one of your videos. Also many of my last reads have come from your recommendations and have become favourites so, THANK YOU LUCKY! And please keep making these videos.

[@Emma-vd6zf]

Woo! Love your book videos. I also read Wuthering Heights recently and also not a fan - highly recommend Jane Eyre by good ol’ Charlotte. Much better love story and amazing feminist vibes you don’t normally get in books from that time period! 📚

[@elit529]

I loved listening to you talk about female friendship and I think I'll give 'Expectation' a read. I have a feeling you'd enjoy Anna Karenina as your next classic, it's probably one of my absolute favourites. The characters are so well written, so complex, and Anna herself is probably my favourite female character of all time.

[@FictionalSarah]

I adore book chats! Would love to see you doing some more book content. It’s just extra cosy loveliness. I also really need to get my hands on Malibu Rising.

[@dieSterbendeGiraffe]

I just love how you talk about books! Hat to put almost all of them on my wishlist!

[@caroline912]

Mick Riva isn't just present in Evelyn Hugo, but also Daisy Jones!! I adore TJR books!

[@V3Music23]

OBSESSED with the book content! I would like to recommend John Marrs, his book The One is my all time favourite of his but I have read every single one of his books and they are all amazing and all so different so something for every mood 📚 x

[@sarahloufisher]

I second this comment completely. John Marrs is amazing! The One, The Passengers, The Good Samaritan and What Lies Between Us are my favourites.

[@katepaulsen8792]

this video coming out right as I am trying to start reading more? amazing timing!!!

[@JeSSiMKah]

A definite yes to more book content if thats what you want to be filming. I did spend my youth watching people on the Internet, lex was a fave of the og KZbin. I have so many more books to buy now, you always review ones I have my eye on.

[@natashamann6101]

Yes to the book content! I think you’d like Persephone’s The Call

[@Jules0001]

Thoroughly enjoyed this Lucy, thank you so much. I am an avid reader and have been since I could string two words together. I'm the kid who read by torchlight under the covers because it was past my bedtime...........yes, we are talking a LONG time ago 😁 I love escaping into a book and getting drawn into characters and situations that I wouldn't normally experience. Would be more than happy if you made this into a series and have already taken you up on a couple of your recommendations, thank you 🥰

[@jessiee3612]

Love this kind of video! I’ve started reading this year for the first time since school and I’m loving it, so grateful for this video!

[@ariannaschiro8552]

Absolutely loved this video! More book content, please 😍 I’ve also read Malibu Rising last month and loved it, it was my first TJR and I’m now officially in love with this woman. I agree that the first part was about Mick and June was more interesting, but still loved it! I read Expectations last year and liked it but not loved it, but I said to myself that I’d probably hit differently if I were to read it in a couple of years. Really liked Such a Fun Age too, it was the first book I picked up this year and definitely would recommend. Some other book that I’ve loved this year are: The Midnight Library by Matt Haig, Writers and Lovers by Lily King and Ariadne by Jennifer Saint if you’re into mythological retellings. Would love to see videos about TBRs, book hauls, everything like that! 🤩

[@carolinecaruso4676]

book content !!!! 🙌🏻 also I recommend The People We Keep by Allison Larkin. I think you’ll really enjoy it

[@huzatron_]

Give me Lucy and book content any day of the week!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@erinchism3078]

Mick Riva also appears in Daisy Jones and The Six, he appears at one of the parties. I really enjoy how she intertwines her novels.

[@amyanthea2279]

Adore your book videos!! You explain them so well without spoiling them! Xxx

[@nataliegoldstone6990]

I feel exactly the same about Malibu Rising, it wasn’t my favourite book by TJR but I enjoyed it. There’s going to be a 4th book for this universe btw!! 🙌🏻✨

[@librarianminx]

There is a Dutch writer called Anja De Jager. She has written 6 detective novels, The Lotte Meerman series, set in Amsterdam. The first is called A Cold Murder in Amsterdam. If you haven't read her books, you need to. Very, Very readable.

[@Chocolatetart88]

Loved this video! Big big fan of Such a Fun Age! Expectation, Malibu Rising and Putney are all on my TBR pile!

[@bettypotts7040]

I’ve missed your videos so was so happy when this popped up! Love the book content, keep it coming! X

[@febeschoemaker8571]

Maybe it would be fun to read a number of books of a genre you usually don't read, to make a video about? I love book vids, so keep m coming!

[@gemmam9472]

Hi Lucy! If you like the concept of a story within a story, try the Anthony Horowitz murder mysteries; they’re like modern day Agatha Christie novels, where the main character is a book editor editing a murder mystery, which is interwoven with a real life murder mystery. The first one is Magpie Murders and the second is Moonflower Murders xx

[@celynemary687]

I love a good book chat!!! Feel free to do more of this kind of book video ;-) As a book lover, I'm always glad to discover other people's readings! Thx for the video ❤️

[@leggy7324]

So happy you're posting videos again x

[@ohmygoditsagiraffe]

Have read and loved so many of these books! Would absolutely love to see you talk more about books

[@LapostropheAura]

adding all of these to my Goodreads want-to-read list, while my bookshelf of unread books is rolling its eyes at me.

[@tasha3529]

35 minutes?!? YES!! Also a big YES to more book content! 😃💗

[@sarahl2698]

Please do more book content, I love hearing your recommendations! These videos are also so so cosy 🥰

[@marianamejia4162]

I read where the crawdads sing because you recommended it and I loved it! Love these kind of vids :)

[@bibbidibobbidibooks]

Yess bring on all the book chats 📚😄 loved this - such an eclectic mix of books!

[@amarcelasm]

omg!!! i was really looking forward to this video since you posted you were filming something with books please keep this type of content coming!

[@bannamoo0]

Have you read Dolly Alderton Everything I Know About Love? it gives off the same vibes as 'Expectation' where you just want to hug ur friends after

[@meganlouise1664]

I just finished reading Daisy Jones (I’m so late to the Taylor Jenkins Reid party) and she mentions Mick Riva in that too! Also huge yes to more book content, 10/10

[@lucytelford2991]

Definitely more book content! Great to see you back :-)

[@keycaru]

I am here for all the book vids! I loved hearing your opinions on the books I’ve read and got a few reccs to take along. :)

[@AnnieO_]

I'm currently reading Malibu Rising, I'm enjoying it a lot!

[@FrodoTheShortOne]

For twisty inter-linking plots I reccomend The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton. It's about a party at a fancy estate where one character is killed over and over again and another character has to try and solve it (that's all on the blurb so not a spoiler!) I couldn't stop reading it as wanted to find out what was going on! Well up for more book content (or any content) from you! 🎉

[@toniallen7942]

Loved this! I love that you're wanting to do more book content too! ☺️📚💖

[@dnorman3105]

you should read I let you go and I see you by Claire mackintosh. they are such brilliant plots and such a lovely narrative style!!!

[@NJ-pu4dt]

I tend to find books in charity shops, and my most recent discovery that I *loved* is The Fair Fight by Anna Freeman. The writing is rich and envelopes you in the setting of early 1800s Bristol without being staid and stuffy. The theme of female boxers is absolutely riveting - and based in truth - and the way she switches between three character’s narrative is really clever and absorbing. It’s a few years old and it doesn’t appear she’s written anything else, which is a shame because this is outstanding.

[@sarahmoon1772]

You have no idea how much I needed this video today. Excited for more book content 😊

[@ladyicondraco]

"Please leave my grave alone, sir." 🤣🤣

[@HannahRPalmerAuthor]

Definitely here for all the book content! Just orderer Reputation - looking forward to diving in!

[@lillybingo2]

If you like crime that doesn’t fall into familiar tropes, try the Frieda Klein series by Nicci French, sooo good !

[@emilybed]

I love book chat videos! I recently finished The Last House on Needless Street and it was so good, also has chapters from a cat's perspective 😂

[@amythresh2278]

More book chat. I’m almost at the end of Reputation and loved it. Just great fun! Thanks for the recommendation x

[@jennbell3984]

Loved watching this. I have a huge pile of books to be read but I'm deffo going out to buy some more to add to that pile after this 😂 Would love more book content on your channel 🙂

[@amyfoster7182]

The midnight Library by Matt Haig or because of you! By Dawn french! Two great books!!

[@aliceemainland]

Oh I just LOVE your book content, I can’t wait for more 😍 so many amazing books here, and I am so excited to add to my TBR a lot of the ones you’ve mentioned! Thank you Lucy 💖

[@nikkijohnston2891]

Oooo yes Lucy more book videos ! Loved this, read blood orange loved it, like the sound of the dystopian I'll give that a go. Have such a fun age on my ridiculous high tbr pile, no I have no control when it comes to buying paperbacks either ! Lol Author I found recently I've read 3 of hers now is Kiersten Modglin great fast paced books or who I always recommend John Marrs love his books 📚 ❤
