OMG!! I have never heard anyone talk about The Measure!! It was my favorite book of last year!! It’s sooooo underrated! I wanted to start a book club just to talk about this book…but I don’t like people enough.🤷🏼‍♀️

[@nicholedavis5649]

lol! I have never heard anyone vocalize their disdain for people in which I do…just came here to share in the love..lol

[@Jasminerainl]

I just saw Razorblade Tears in a free library today and didn't grab it but looked at it for a long time. This was my sign, going back for it.

[@ashleys_space]

Did you get it?

[@chkmebu]

RUNNNNNN back and get it if you can. It really is a great read.

[@teeresagai]

Just finished Razor Blade Tears so good!

[@treavordoherty5114]

Run Forest Run! Back and grab that book!

[@treavordoherty5114]

In fact, go get all SA Cosby books. All great!

[@alyssacascos8665]

Black Cake and Razorblade Tears are two of my faves 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️ also we definitely need a part 2 of your 5 star reads!

[@sharonh.harris1924]

I love your interest in reading and your singing as you think is charming! Sometimes, when I'm praying I sing like that. It just bubbles out. While I'm shopping or doing errands I'm humming or whistling like that too. LOL

[@jaynehunter-ar]

I'm starting Razorblade Tears today - I can't believe I've waited this long to get to it! I loved Black Cake too - I need to watch the adaptation.

[@chkmebu]

Some of your 5 star reads are also on my list so I’m not going to mention those. Here are some of my 5 star read: The Girl with the Louding Voice, Symphony of Secrets, Perfect Peace (very hard read but worth it), Hurricane Summer, One Summer in Savannah, Someday Maybe, 32 Candles, The Dust Bowl Orphans, Solito (audiobook), The Thing About Home and recently released Sweetness in the Skin. Ok I’ll stop there lol

[@lavenderlady7441]

Bear Town series....is the best!!!!!!!!!! BENJI LOVE YOU❤

[@amphoteric]

discovered your channel recently and have had a great time watching your videos. seems like we kinda have different taste in books so it's nice discovering new books/authors thru ur recs!

[@kristipierce4735]

I always like/love Fredrik Backman books. I assume you read A Man Called Ove….(that was my introduction to the amazing F. Backman- I think it’s a 5 star for me). The Nightingale was a 5 star read for me. I’ve read some of the books you talked about, and I’m adding some to my REALLLY LONG TBR list. Happy that The Measure is #2 on my list!! I think I might be moving it to #1 and The Bee Sting can go to #2. Thanks for another great video. I hope your eye feels better soon.

[@Alewo2735]

Okay Razorblade Tears is an easy 5 stars, but All The Sinners Bleed.....6 stars! That book came after way too many poorly written, problematic, BS thrillers and SA Cosby, a damn lyrical poet of an author comes in with the serial killer thriller to end all serial killer thrillers? *chef's kiss* He's a master.

[@lisahenke5027]

Razorblade Tears was one of my favorite books 📚

[@vitanipaige4741]

Desmond the first 30 second of this video had me cracking up! “Why is my fist balled up?” “Stay ready!” lmfaooo! I love this video and you get a subscribe from me!

[@DezmondZ]

😂😂😂

[@o_summer]

Razor blade Tears was incredible ❤

[@tay0688]

So glad to add new 📚 books to my TBR 😂I LOVE your personality

[@susan3037]

Such an interesting video! I hope you do a part 2 because I hated to see this one end. You gave us a a wide spectrum of stories to consider.

[@heyimsasa]

i'm pretty sure sa cosby altered the dna of everyone who read 'razorblade tears' whether or not they enjoyed it. i'll be there if you start a campaign to get you in the screen adaptation!

[@blairbabylon8504]

OMG I love your shelves. I do mine by color, too. About the third time I moved and had to reshelve, I needed to do something other than alphabetical.

[@vickj5348]

So happy I found your channel! I love how you describe each book. Informative and funny ❤

[@britbrat08]

Razorblade Tears, SA Crosby ate down! I’m listening to The Measure now, I got it when you recommended it in your previous video ❤

[@samanthak2387]

Allegedly is so good! Tiffany D. Jackson has become one of my favorite authors of all time. Her books always gut punch me. Also razorblade tears was sooooooooo good. Perfection.

[@junjun100100]

Love your book reviews !! Let's get these numbers up Team Zee !!

[@Breanakechelle]

Omg I LOVE Glory Be, she was hilarious 😂 I haven’t read Allegedly but Take It Back by Kia Abdullah is along the same lines.

[@kelleysullivan8908]

Razorblade Tears is so amazing!!

[@kelleysullivan8908]

I really loved Anxious People too. The audiobook is so well done.

[@louisity]

I have yet to read a Fredrik Backman book. Thanks for sharing Buki Papillon, Gillian McAllister.

[@catherineaskew7009]

I just love your channel!!!😊❤will definitely be adding some of these to my TBR 🎉🎉please do a part two

[@phresie]

I just finished Black Cake and loved it too! I’m glad you talked a tiny bit about the series because I was nervous it wouldn’t live up to the book

[@chelsearushing7876]

Just found you and so glad I did! Love the reviews and your joyful spirit.

[@SavidgeReads]

Ooh I read Razorblade Tears at the end of last month and loved it. Am going to be reading ALL his other books. All. Of. Them. I loved Black Cake, I have not watched the show, pleased to hear it did it justice… Ooh I might start the show tonight. Allegedly was amazing. I need to read more of her books. The Nickel Boys broke me. The Rachel Incident is a book I’m soooooo excited for. It’s on its way I believe. Honor also sounds amazing. Too many amazing sounding books… that I haven’t got my mitts on yet. Lol.

[@DezmondZ]

The Rachel Incident really surprised me. I didn’t expect to love it so much. Fingers crossed it doesn’t disappoint you.

[@shell1338]

I loved Razorblade Tears. It's one of my all time favorite books. Wrong Place Wrong Time was so different. I enjoyed it but found that listening to the audiobook helped with all the time jumps. Another favorite of mine is All My Rage. It's Young Adult but it is so powerful and beautifully written.

[@abookwormdiary]

you’re one of my favorite booktubers

[@mjsburnett]

I've added almost all of these books to my TBR! Your channel is dangerous - keep the videos coming!

[@ReneeLP]

The intro..🤣🤣🤣👊🏾stay ready. Love it. Definitely subscribing

[@kayelb588]

Yes, read “Honor” again. That book took me totally out the U.S. Amazing writing and heartbreaking, too.

[@jonaekyoshee]

I love your personality 😊

[@shaunnaaa]

You said what you said about Razorblade Tears!!!! It was so good.

[@bethl3173]

I am never gonna get thru this list- but I’m trying! Reading Rachel Incident now. Enjoyable. I could NOT finish Wrong Time, Wrong Place. By the time I was 3 days back-done! Too frustrating. Great video. I need to hear more singing:)

[@DezmondZ]

I think that’s the biggest issue most people have with the book (me included lol). So I can understand that.

[@angelyntor2273]

added a few books to my tbr! loved the video

[@Readatrix]

There are definite levels to 5 stars.

[@lavenderlady7441]

[@Erica-en2qz]

[@momo_brobro]

[@veedermoose4787]

omg martyr peeking out right behind you.... that was my five star read!

[@dees5250]

New subscriber. Just found you. I have read one of your recommendation: Razorblade Tears . As you started the video I was like, "I trust this dude's recommendation, no trick". Now to go look for and to start these other books.

[@kayj4657]

Well, my TBR just got larger….thanks 😅😅

[@rladyleo3]

Why you have me laughing at 630am watching the beginning of your video! 😅 Great recommendations to add to my TBR. #1 S.A.Cosby fan! 5 Stars I recommend: JAMES and ERASURE, both by Percival Everett. House in the Cerulean Sea.

[@DezmondZ]

I have a copy of James, but I haven’t read it yet. I think I’ll bump that one up on the list. I watched the movie adaptation of Erasure, but I might still read the book.

[@brandi.jenaeee]

New subscriber I love it here

[@snmbooksandplans529]

Immediately subscribed. I’m ready lol!

[@Simplisticillustrations]

I'd to hear your thoughts and review on the book postscript by Cecelia Ahern. It is a 5 star for me. I like how u talk bout books mate.

[@hp7068]

You own all the hardcovers... Btw I love paperbacks

[@BrynnD]

Nope, we don’t need to discuss RAZORBLADE TEARS. It’s top 2 and not 2! I can definitely see you playing Ike’s son. Who we need to call?! 😂

[@jonaekyoshee]

❤

[@TilwanaStringer]

I know the topic is ‘5 star reads; books’. I see it, I love it! 😁 But! And also,☝🏽😬…. I feel like it’s Corey Gamble’s son influencing me to pick up Black Cake 🫶🏽🫶🏽😅

[@angelabarron7275]

The reformatory is not on this list?!

[@jonaekyoshee]

You don’t have a Goodreads ?

[@HipHop226]

Nickel boys is the only 5 star here

[@fatturnip779]
