[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Someone who loves plays too!! So rare for me to find on booktube. Antony and Cleopatra is perfection. I love a raisin in the sun. Oedipus is good and I love metamorphosis too 😊 I kissed shara wheeler is my favourite Casey mcquiston so far. I really like monstress although a heads up vol 1 is a bit confusing.

[@MinaReads]

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

[@mrsallister32]

I 100% agree with you about stand alone fantasies. The first book is amazing and the rest cannot live up. Like. Just write one and wrap it up!!

[@RetroNoIX]

Always a good day to see a Mina video

[@MinaReads]

So happy you picked up The Final Strife, it was one of my favorite books of this year! I'm reading the third book in the series right now and really enjoying it!

[@BarbieandKensWorldReads]

Loveeee Monstress, i hope you enjoy it! ❤

[@MinaReads]

I’m excited to get into it

[@emisreading]

Little Rot is SO GOOD, definitely very heavy so I would recommend looking up trigger warnings, but it was wild and dark and I couldn't put it down. I think it's pretty different from what Akwaeke Emezi's done before, kinda just one of those books that's like "hey, what if this happened, wouldn't that be so messed up?" and makes you sit with it

[@jordansiarya762]

THE QUEEN IS BACKKKKKK and has blessed us with 42 minutes omg😫😫😫✨✨✨✨

[@MinaReads]

Okay wait serious question here, do you like long videos with lots of yapping because I could make more 🤔🙂‍↕️

[@lisajenny9]

Yay!!! A new Mina video! Happy to see you.

[@erika_337]

I picked up Half a King from my library because of you! Yarvi truly left me gagged by the end. I will be continuing the series 🫶🏽🫶🏽

[@shamagneee]

Hey, I just came across your channel for the first time. I am a Philly native and would love recommendations for local bookstores and thrift stores. Book shopping can get expensive 😂 but, I also love giving “old” books a new home. So I would REALLY appreciate some recs ! Sincerely a new subscriber 😉

[@MinaReads]

Welcome to the channel! I’ll make sure to put together a video on my favorite Philadelphia bookstore/thrift store gems soon 💕 but one of my faves is Last Word Bookshop

[@kaylanharper3048]

Omg I love SFSX, I got vol 1 and 2, it's so good you gotta read it!

[@dobetterwithchristian4472]

I loved the Prospects! Check out You Should Be So Lucky by Cat Sebastian if you like it. Little Rot was intense and has a lot of tough themes. I wouldn't call it triggering per se, but it's not for everybody. Every character is complicated, and there's this thriller/horror element that is all the more disturbing for its realness. (I dont know if this is making you more or less nervous, but i still think you should read it. Lol)

[@MinaReads]

Thank you for the rec! I just checked it out from the library

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

I recently read the talented mr Ripley and tbh the 1999 film of it is really good! And know my name is phenomenal, it was the best nonfiction I read last year. But the emotions are truly something, I had to wait till I was in the right headspace as well.

[@MinaReads]

I might watch the movie after I read the book then! I love jude law

[@kobooks2632]

Minaaa!! It’s nice to see your pretty face! 💗

[@themusicsnob]

Know My Name is fantastic and absolutely wait until you’re in the space for it. Not only is the story important, but the writing is beautiful. He Who Drowned the World is also excellent and very, very dark.

[@leoniesliberi]

Know My Name is truly one of the best books I have ever read. Chanel Miller is a phenomenal writer and this story impacted me incredibly. But for sure wait until you‘re in the right place to read it, it‘s a lot

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I just bought a copy of she who became the sun!

[@zombiebloop]

i read such a good monster romance recently; a soul to keep by opal reyne. it was so wonderful, spicy and heartfelt simultaneously somehow.

[@MinaReads]

I love finding new monster romances; I’m always on the lookout for recommendations so thank you!

[@pauieeepau]

Monstress👐🏼 i love how unhinged the protagonist is. Has some found family vibes later.

[@bookscholar4280]

Great haul! I recommend 1999 'The Talented Mr. Ripley'. It's very good!

[@halebarely]

baddies on a budget!!

[@MinaReads]

@@halebarely you know it!

[@StayCalmxd]

I loved When We Lost Our Heads

[@MadoCar-n4s]

Thank you for the video

[@MinaReads]

Thanks for watching!

[@jules.mp3]

I’m 31 years old and I just marathoned Shrek and Shrek 2 with my parents on thanksgiving 😂 I feel seen

[@jules.mp3]

Side note that I’m pretty confident you’ll love shadow of the gods!

[@MinaReads]

it's truly excellent cinema!

[@gabbaray2013]

i finished Funny Story and decided i'm not an Emily Henry girly. welcome back!

[@forevermoodreading]

Not me failing English and almost not graduating because I refused to read Beowulf in 11th grade 🤣

[@MinaReads]

omg that's crazyyyy how did you end up passing?

[@hooklineandinker]

Make up class in the summer 😂

[@jimiasworld]

Glad I found you! I have been reading Harry Potter and then I’m going to read 2 novellas then get into a horror style book . What have you been reading ?

[@hotcocoacinamonbrown]

"I'm a nerd" I prefer to be called a brainiac because I'm always thinking of this and that; but if nerd works for you, run with it. Just a tad bit of advice, go for the Master's degree as it can increase your pay once you enter into your profession.

[@miyayume_eclectic_dream]

Than please read standalone The Goblin Emperor!!! Its a gem!!!

[@MinaReads]

I have darling but thank you for the suggestion 💖💖

[@astoldbykat]

Middlegame is my #1 book of 2024; I absolutely loved it, and my brain is still trying to recover from it. I will say the next two books aren't as strong ("Seasonal Fears", the second one, is definitely the weakest, and "Tidal Creatures" has some good lore but still isn't as good as the first), but "Middlegame" can definitely be read as a standalone.

Girlie word of advice skip the Semantic Error comic and just watch the drama. The comic features a full on explicit rape scene of one of the protagonists by the other and is in general inferior to the drama which is super cute with a much more likeable interpretation of the characters and their dynamic and probably one of the best kiss scenes in a Korean BL drama to date. Also, hi, missed you, welcome back
