"not traditionally beautiful, but I love a cow" iconic

[@SamanthasBooks]

yesss Rocky is the best part of Project Hail Mary Ok Tress of the Emerald Sea sounds so sweet and it's so pretty My favourite book of the year so far is Lessons in Chemistry! 🍒

[@BookedandBusy]

Love seeing faithful and the fallen and ymafodwyb!! So many bangers 🍒

[@SydBookWorrom]

I am a changed person because of your recommendations 🥲🥲💓💓💓

[@kaesinfinitelibrary]

need to read tress of the emerald sea asap "another book i know nothing about that came in my adult fairyloot box" so relatable

[@rose_dreamer]

A horse fly got in my house and until I took care of it, my dog hid in my shower 😂😂

[@bibilbophile]

Zelda has me in a chokehold and is keeping me from reading too 😭

[@AshtheViking]

The Old Wolf for sure!!!!!

[@Bookbonkers8439]

I really love it when a book makes you feel something. Whether it’s happiness or sadness it just makes you feel. I’m probably going to get shot for this, but my least favorite book of this year was Daisy Jones and the Six and my favorite was In a Jam by Kate Canterbary

[@gabbyreads]

We Spread yesssssss, that book is so great I'm so happy to hear it's a favorite of yours too! I also loved Part of Your World too!

[@riankoch9126]

I gave Fourth Wing 4 stars. But I won’t lie, I had to start drinking so that I could turn off a portion of so I could just enjoy it and ignore some of the more ridiculous parts of the writing. I think you should take a peek at The Wishing Game. It was like a bookish Charlie and the chocolate factory and was so fun.

[@lizzieslittlebooknook]

I adored tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow and luckily the UK cover is holographic. Also I had the same feelings as you about fourth wing but am halfway through and I am loving it so much

[@jolafaith]

Aww have you read ‘Rest and be Thankful’ by Emma Glass? It’s a very short book from the perspective of a pediatric nurse who is struggling with the mental exhaustion and physical toll it’s taking on her. It’s dark and strange and a little bit fever-dream-y. Some of the observations really touched me and I found it to be moving. It’s been two years I think since I read it and I still think about it.

[@carissa1446]

Loved Fourth Wing and Clytemnestra so far this year. 🍒

[@calebadams1014]

“Boy howdy” 🍒

[@vitareads]

My best book this year was Bunny, can't wait for Rogue and to read her backlist. 🍒🍒🍒

[@alljoy6541]

Sydney, wow what a book collection, you so lucky 😊

[@SorryBookedSolid]

I love the measure sooo muchhhh 💛

[@stephaniebookish]

Love you Syd 💗

[@bg4945]

Hope your doggy was ok! Love seeing him in your videos ❤

[@AmandaPace85]

Just discovered your channel and I'm currently watching all the videos. Love love it.

[@lightscamerasashley.]

ahh so excited you uploaded today 💖perfect way to end my night! also, love that we mentioned some of the same books for our answers ☺

[@polychromist]

The Secret History is so good, so I always jump in and encourage reading it asap 😊 🍒

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

So what you’re saying I need to read Malice asap 😂

[@SydBookWorrom]

YES🥹

[@beckyduff]

You have some stunning books! I just did my mid-year freak out and I was like here's a graphic novel and the naked hardpack has a shiny duck on it, lol.

[@DecemberMagpie]

1. Best book you’ve read so far this year. The Neptune Project by Polly Holyoke. I read it during Middlegrade March. Amazing, sci-fi dystopian with talking dolphins. What else would you need?😉 2. Best sequel you've read so far this year. It's a tie between The True Love Experiment by Christina Lauren and The Fires of Vengeance by Evan Winter. 3. New release you haven't read yet but want to. I Keep My Exoskeletons to Myself by Marisa Crane 4. Most anticipated release for the second half of the year. Family Lore by Elizabeth Acevedo 5. Biggest disappointment. Black Leopard, Red Wolf by Marlon James. This book was too vulgar for me, and I had to DNF it. 6. Biggest surprise. Direction of the Road: A Story by Ursula K. Le Guin. My book club was doing a theme of "reading from an unexpected perspective." This 19-page story was told from the perspective of a tree. I tried to fit in one more story before I had to attend the meeting. I didn't expect to give a 19-page story 5 stars, nor have it stick with me the way it has, but my goodness. I need to read more books by her. 7. Favourite new author. (Debut or new to you) Camille Baker. I read her Have We Met? duology and loved it. I will gladly pick up anything else she chooses to put out. 8. Newest fictional crush. Death, aka Suzie from Reincarnation Blues by Michael Poore 9. Newest favourite character. Perihelion aka, ART from Artificial Condition and Network Effect in The Murder Bot Diaries 10. Book that made you cry. The Soulmate Equation by Christina Lauren 11. Book that made you happy. Let's Play Dead by Sheila Connolly 12. Most beautiful book you've bought so far this year (or received) I recently bought Owlflight by Mercedes Lackey & Larry Dixon from a library sale. Gorgeous! 13. What books do you need to read by the end of the year. The Mark of Zorro by Johnston McCulley 14. content creators, you've been loving. Books Unbound, Beautifully Bookish Bethany, bookslikewhoa, Literature Science Alliance, Sarah's Nightstand, Elliot Brooks, Jack in the Books, Liene's Library, Jess Owens, Nixreads, abookolive, Abby Salter, PeruseProject, oliviareadsalatte, How to Train Your Gavin, BookswithEmilyFox, Jessie Mae, BooksandLala, Chapter and Converse,

[@katerinabatchelder4741]

I absolutely love your shirt and wish I had one of my own!! Malice is on my tbr simply because of all the great things you have to say about it! 🍒 some of my favorite books of the year so far are Stardust Thief, One For My Enemy, Last Tale of the Flower Bride, and Foxglove King!

[@ReadingNymph]

Animal Crossing is peak cozy, relaxation time 😌 Jan and Gavin are the best!

[@stefanienordstrom6750]

Switch struggles are real. I find I can listen to audio while playing ACNH, but Zelda... I just want to Zelda when I Zelda. My summer TBR is going really slowwwww.

[@readablesbykane]

another great vid, thank you. best book: Dead Man's Creek by Chris Hammer (a historical mystery set in 'Straya) and worst: The Killings at Badger's Drift by Caroline Graham (a British mystery but with way too much small-town bigotry) - have a great week. 🍒🍒🍒

[@dudeitscaity]

Favorites of the year are Cloud Cuckoo Land, also really loved Tress of the Emerald Sea, Mistborn series, Demon Copperhead, and Ghosts! Running to put Malice on hold at my library -- a book like Skyrim?! I absolutely have to read that. ps this is Caity from the Death Cab concert - hiiii! 🍒

[@daryanreads]

THE MEASURE WOOO

[@maddiaultman4519]

The absolute coolest human on the internet. It’s always such a breath of fresh air to be able to hang out with you!! Best books of the year: A psalm of the wild built The adventures of Amina Al Sirafi Half a soul Cheers to many more great books everyone🌟

[@michelacarletti3671]

Favorites: Days of abandonment by Elena Ferrante Better than the movies by Lynn Painter ACOSF The Vegetarian by Han Kang Dave Grohl’s memoir Less by Andrew Sean Greer Careless by Kirsty Capes The Idiot by Elif Batuman Life’s too short by Abby Jimenez And I’m in the middle of Girl, Woman, Other, which will be another favorite for sure.

[@firewhiskeyreader8257]

My favorite books so far have been Lessons in Chemistry (I'm still surprised) and The Serpent and the Wings of Night. Oh and Heartless! But I just finished Final Offer the other day, so I'm right there with you on the shock and awe of loving a billionaire. Lol

[@_ashleylh]

I have never read Brandon Sanderson...I just never read a lot of fantasy before this year, but I am loving it now! Anyway, can you read Tress without having read anything else? I have A Darker Shade of Magic box set for later on this year...so much to read! I just finished Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow and it was everything! I was so worried that I wasn't going to like it, and 70 pages into my library copy I was like must buy my own copy! Oh it was so good. Alone with You in the Ether was instant 5 stars too. Surprisingly to me, I adored Carrie Soto is Back. I need to buy my own copy some day because there was so much I wanted to annotate and couldn't because I read it on libby. Never thought I'd care so much about a tennis athlete. I don't listen to many audiobooks, but the audiobook of "My Government Means to Kill Me" was phenomenal. I was really disappointed in When Women Were Dragons. I really enjoyed Priory of the Orange Tree, Day of Fallen Night and Yellowface as well! And my reread of Little Women. My favorite classic since childhood. I have avoided all Fourth Wing reviews so I can form my own opinion. I hope to get to it soon, but all I am thinking about now is my Summerween books

[@ashleystark6390]

Some of my favorite books this year have been: Spare by Prince Harry, Luck of the Titanic by Stacey Lee, and I Must Betray You by Ruta Sepetys. Luckily no book has disappointed me!

[@jaidarh]

Fave book-Daisy Jones and the six Least fave - Klara and the Sun or No Exit

[@naghamhossam556]

I do not usually comment ,just an observer but just wanted to tell you that your videos, vlogs, and recommendations have been helping a lot! And regarding Gwynne, I've only read first two books in the Bloodsworn Saga and still waiting for the third but you made me want to pick up the Faithful one like yesterday-

[@SydBookWorrom]

Aw I’m so happy to hear that! I hope you continue to love Gwynne!!

[@Whtpaper]

I loved Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield - I bought the UK cover as it's gorgeous and I'm obsessed with it. I have started and still haven't finished (reading other books instead), Honeybees and Distant Thunder by Riku Onda - I just can't get into it. I'm reading Biography of X by Catherine Lacey now and liking it so far.🍒

[@thepussycat66]

Great video and great answers.😊 Fourth Wing is one of my favourites of the year. But also Manacled. 😍 Im obsessed with this Dramione Fan fic.

[@kyramackesy6162]

Sad you didn't like Magnolia Parks! That's my top series of the year. And also surprisingly, I did nottt like The Fine Print. But adding some of the others you discussed to my TBR.

[@ACuppaBookswithAriel]

So excited to see John Gwynne here. 🍒

[@FaeryLaume]

I've read a LOT of books I loved this year so far, tough to narrow it down, but I'll mention both of The Monk and the Robot books by Becky Chambers. They spoke to me about just the right issues at just the right time. I didn't necessarily dislike any of the books I finished this year, but a couple weren't exactly what I'd expected, or the timing wasn't right, and that's not really the fault of the book.

[@sarawithoutanH]

I feel like I might be reading the wrong John Gwynne book. I'm reading Shadow of the Gods rn and I literally could not tell you a single thing that has happened so far. I am struggling 😭 your hype for the other series had me wondering if it's just a me problem 😅 🍒

[@SydBookWorrom]

i feel like he writes a very specific subgenre of fantasy..which happens to be one of the exact vibes i'm in love with. but it might not be for you, which isn't a bad thing! though, i havnt read shadow of the gods yet so i guess i also can't say with certainty🧐

[@_rebekka]

Pls I can't look at my dog's gray chin and not want to cry 😢

[@hannahandherstories]

🍒 one of my faves I read this year is Disorientation by Elaine Hsieh Chou

[@lisamorrow1929]

🍒. Love you!

[@valerieramirez6446]

My favorite this year is Fire and Blood by George r.r. Martin

[@quinniehalee]

Suing for emotional damage bc tell me why I cried while watching this 😅💜

[@quinniehalee]

🍒

[@SydBookWorrom]

Omg not emotional damage🫣😂💓💓

[@wayardnerd67]

🍒Favorite books: The Deal by Elle Kennedy, A Curse so Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer and The Fine Print by Lauren Asher. Least Favorite: The Writing Retreat by Julia Bartz, I read 100 pages and felt like I was reading middle school girl drama w/ demon sex. Not for me.

[@rebeccaalexander8877]

My favorite books so far were "The Girl on Schindler's List", and "The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea". Worst would be "The Bromance Book Club"

[@arobinreads]

❤❤❤

[@paulabarreto2668]

Favorite book I read this year was absolutely Violeta by Isabel Allende. Such a beautiful, beautiful book 🍒🍒🍒

[@feathersnfur]

🍒

[@sarahscupoftea]

🍒🍒🍒 Love this. :) Every time you talk about John Gwynne's series I get closer to reading it. I'm reading Shadow of the Gods in August and can't wait to see what he's all about!

[@kimberlybyrd1683]

🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒

[@arobinreads]

Best book: Legends & Lattes. Most disappointing: In the lives of puppets
