Ooo I’m looking forward to the next installment of your reading Reese’s book club picks. I’m so curious about The Unwedding.

@sheyannestewart2241 Ай бұрын

It always makes me laugh that you love killing stalking but make it so clear you aren’t actually recommending it 😂😂

@gabbyreads Ай бұрын

I gotta make that real clear hahaha 😂

I need that Ashely poston book in my hands right now!! It’s stunning omg

@rosarioreads Ай бұрын

Ooh I didn’t know there was a new Rainbow Rowell coming out, I’m intrigued as I loveddddd fangirl!

@imahotmess872 Ай бұрын

just for the summer is one of my favorite books of all time! so glad u liked it❤❤❤!

@greeranelson Ай бұрын

Yup…Once There Were Wolves is one of the best books I’ve ever read. Excited to read Migrations by Charlotte McConaghy this summer and hope she comes out with a new book soon!

@benno4271 Ай бұрын

She does! "Wild Dark Shore" is coming in March 2025, I think.

@ReadingNymph Ай бұрын

I love these videos, it's so fun to check in and see how the reading yesr has gone. I have to read Bright Young Women this year, I can't leave it sitting on my tbr 😅

@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm Ай бұрын

A novel love story sounds so good! So excited for it!

Haha, I am reading the yakuza bias right now off of NetGalley 😂, I am enjoying it so far it's funny

@kittyshiv Ай бұрын

Just finished other side of night, definitely a slower burn but WOW the end was worth the journey. Writing was brilliant too (and listened to audio)

@sarahbarden4135 Ай бұрын

Please save We Used To Live Here for booktroop! I am really excited to read it !

@spookygeek9459 Ай бұрын

I’ll have to check them out. I’ll be getting a koob in the New Year because I listen to books on Phone brilliant always watching your channel. I was moving last year so I’m just catching up on your videos. 📕📕👍👍👍

@armystaytinyheart956 Ай бұрын

The best book I’ve read so far might be Bright Young Women as well (this is the best book troop pick imo) Part of Your World and Mistborn also might be my faves so far. Most disappointing book for me was Cinder and the most surprising would be These Silent Woods. I’m really excited and looking forward to reading Reckless by Lauren Roberts and Not in Love by Ali Hazelwood. ❤

Great video, this tag is like a palette cleanser.

@rebekahmackenzie Ай бұрын

Thanks for the tag! So far my reading has been weird this year. Partially due to life stuff. I haven't been doing well with my goals either. Im hoping I can turn it around and with summer basically here, it should help my mood and improve my reading.

@najihahizzaty4193 Ай бұрын

gabby i always trust your recs. i feel like most of the books on my shelf is recommended by you!! also, im not a fan of romcom butttttt I LOVE ANY ROMCOMS you rec!!

@tinaparayil Ай бұрын

Gabby is in her weird literary book era and we love to see it! Here is a weird, anxiety-inducing, literary book rec that I think you might like: The Guest by Emma Cline. Read The Watchers this month & gave it 5⭐️ can't wait to see the movie and heard there's a sequel coming out this October!

@theficchic Ай бұрын

If you like Big Swiss, I'd also recommend: My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh, Bunny by Mona Awad, Milk Fed by Melissa Broder, Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica, and Natural Beauty by Ling Ling Haung (look up TWs for all of these first!!). They all scratch that weird girl lit fic itch

@marcyreads Ай бұрын

Ahhh Funny Story! The best 😍😍😍 I think I missed answering the adaptation question in my video 🙈🤣 Bloom’s cover is SICK! So dang beautiful! Great video, Gabby!

@bethanymarquez808 Ай бұрын

I’m soo excited for the new releases you mentioned! A new Alice Feeney and Jason Relulak!? Shut up! I’m there lol

I JUST got The Unwedding checked out to me from my local library but I decided to return it. The Goodreads ratings are already below 3.5 😫

Oh no 😭😭😭

@huongspy1626 Ай бұрын

The unwedding is very boring, nothing happens despite my favorite setting in the resort, isolation vibe and a murder mystery... I'm looking forward to hearing your thought on that book. On the contrary, Listen to the lie is probably my only 5 star this year, so far.

@_foreverabookaddict_ Ай бұрын

If you haven't watched the movie A Man Called Ove even though I know you didn't like the book, you need to watch it. Tom Hanks is Ove and he's everything in that movie. SO good!

@bookstaglamkira Ай бұрын

I too loved Once There Were Wolves. Charlotte McConaghy has a new book set to come out March of 2025 called Wild Dark Shore. I just heard about it yesterday.

@TrabensTomes Ай бұрын

Excellent video! It's that time of year already. Our reading taste is not aligning so much this year, but I enjoyed the manga and thriller recommendations.

@shawnieadams1319 Ай бұрын

I read Instructions for Traveling West: Poems for the cover too!! I love it! I gave it 4 stars.

@eimajhteb8288 Ай бұрын

I loved big Swiss too…such a unique read. I felt it was too short though :/ I wanted more!!!

@hushletsread Ай бұрын

Since you enjoy romance once in a while I would highly recommend Cressida McLaughlin's books 😍 I feel like they are not that big yet, but I honestly love her books so much. They have all the cosy vibes and are such great feelgood romance books! ❤️

@hushletsread Ай бұрын

Her series 'The Cornish cream tea bus' is so cute! I especially love the first and fourth in the series!

@mymindfullife7554 Ай бұрын

You might like Cleopatra and Frankenstein for a good unhinged literary book! It's one of my favs ❤❤❤!

@kamershek Ай бұрын

Gabby❤ Loved watching. As usual. Your channel has transformed my reading life! Quick question. Would you put Big Swiss into the same … like… weird category as Bunny? Because when you were discussing your feelings about Big Swiss I was like, can relate! Bunny. Lol. Wanted to see what you think!

@gabbyreads Ай бұрын

Thank you!! And idk it’s hard to say. It’s weird like Bunny, but it’s not dark like Bunny, Big Swiss isn’t horror, it’s more just like weird lit fic and it’s also weirdly sexual??? But like in an interesting way?? Haha

@kamershek Ай бұрын

@@gabbyreads weird like Bunny is all I needed to know. Plot, genre, is no problem. Well imma find a copy! Thank you so much for posting and sharing. It’s such a treat to have you on KZbin! PS can’t wait to pick up Diavola-fun fact for your upcoming Italy travels: Diavola shows up on almost every pizzeria menu in Italy and it’s a spicy salami pizza. So if you’re into that keep an eye out 😈🍕

I'm currently reading Bright Young Women. I'm currently on pg54 and I did get a little confused about how the pov were told in this book, btw I'm back to using my local library which I borrowed this book from.

@tinadoesntreadthatmuch Ай бұрын

I’ve read 57 books so far but only 4 of them were 5 stars 🫠🫠 alone with you in the ether (it wasn’t memorable though so it won’t be in my top of the year unless I reread it felt the same love), how to say a babylon, outofshapeworthlessloser, and darling girls. So, only 2 fiction books out of 51 books total (not including non fiction) were 5 stars for me this year. I’ve never had that bad reading year in my entire life lol. Some of these reads were for uni so I didn’t expect to give them a 5 anyway but still… 2024 is not my year when it comes to quality reads 😢
