[@lilliewyant4086]

I just found your channel today. I subscribed. I really enjoyed it. I am 71 and not able to get out so I truly like getting to watch book hauls. I love to read. I read 162 books last year. Thanks for sharing.

[@ExLibrisKari]

I'm glad to have you here ☺️ 162 books-- that's amazing!

Looooovee the rachel incident! 5 stars for me! Also enjoyed the guest a lot

[@ExLibrisKari]

I'm really looking forward to the rachel incident!! and good to know you also enjoyed the guest, I need to bump it up on my priority list

[@SignedbySanne]

This was the first of your videos i've seen but based on this haul I feel like we've got such a similar taste in books! Interested in 99% of the books you showed Also your bookshelves look amazing!

[@ExLibrisKari]

Thank you! 💖

[@SarahAsYouWish]

I can’t pass up a beautiful book either. I’ll second the recommendation for Wrong Place, Wrong Time. It’s really good! Also, Robin Hobb’s books are wonderful. She is an amazing writer and has a gift for creating complex characters with great arcs.

[@ExLibrisKari]

you've made me even more excited for WPWT and Hobb's books!!

[@tirarosaurioreads]

That Demon Copperhead edition is a danger to look at! SEND HALP.

[@ExLibrisKari]

Lolll it is beautiful!!

[@franciscaneumann1803]

You should read The death of a book seller, its more of a literary fiction, it is told through 2 povs, which is not my favorite so i was really surprised to have liked it as much as I did.

[@ExLibrisKari]

Ok I will give it a chance then because I know we have similar tastes! Thanks for sharing your thoughts 💖

[@19Rena96]

When it comes to manga i would highly recommend Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind and Witch Hat Atelier :)

[@ExLibrisKari]

I’ve heard wonderful things about Witch Hat Atelier, I definitely want to give it a try! And I’ve never heard of Nausicaa, I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for the recs! 💖

[@HilaryBGreen]

The Secret History is one of my all-time favorites. I love that Penguin edition with the plain green cover.

[@ExLibrisKari]

Donna Tartt is a genius!

[@mary_yankulova]

So, because you love the “Yellow paper” and “The Nursery” I must recommend “The nightbitch” by Rachel Yoder No sure if have read it, but if not, OMG - do it!

[@ExLibrisKari]

I’ve heard of that book but didn’t realize it was in the same vein as TYW and The Nursery! Thanks for letting me know, I’m definitely interested in it now!!

[@mary_yankulova]

@@ExLibrisKari Its amazing! It devides the readers to 2 different categories - those loving it and those hating it. Its sooo goood!

[@franciscaneumann1803]

I liked the silent pacient and definately recomend the Fury! I am going to pick one of your literary picks! Take Care!

[@ExLibrisKari]

Hope you enjoy whatever you pick up!! 😊

[@seolylee]

Stoner was surprisingly good. I read it years ago and still think about it sometimes.

[@ExLibrisKari]

That sounds promising!

[@ladyfox6705]

Whoa, was that The Phantom Tollbooth that went flying at the 7.30 mark?!? I loved that book as a kid and it's on my rereads list for this year. For Fantasy I'd absolutely recommend Joe Abercrombie. He's the only one so far who's scratched my G.R.R.M itch. For Manga I recommend Witch Hat Atelier. Re Junji Ito, I recommend Lovesickness and Smashed. For other Manga, I really want to read the Vinland Saga and Death Note, and those Drifting Classroom editions look really interesting! Btw, book UNhaul and bookshelf tour in the future, Kari?

[@ExLibrisKari]

Lol yes it was The Phantom Tollbooth!! It was one of my favorite books as a kid 😊 Thank you for all the recs! I’ve been meaning to look into Death Note, it’s one I’ve been hearing mentioned more and more As for an unhaul, I expanded my library twice last year so I’m not hurting for space but if that changes I will do an unhaul! And doing a bookshelf tour is on the to do list ☺️

[@hebahesham6502]

À new subscriber😍. Love from Egypt 🇪🇬❤️

[@ExLibrisKari]

i’m happy to have you here! 💖

[@suli0616]

Would highly recommend Mistborn Trilogy by Brandon Sanderson if you haven’t read them. One of the best fantasy series ever.

[@ExLibrisKari]

Thanks for the rec!!

[@dallasisgood]

What are those really thin books on the bottom shelf?

[@ExLibrisKari]

They’re the “Penguin English Library” line of classics! They each have three stripes on the spine (orange on the sides and a different color in the middle) so they are actually bigger than they look ☺️

[@user-tk4od2ti3b]

Death of a Bookseller was a DNF for me. I found both main characters thoroughly unappealing.

[@ExLibrisKari]

thanks for the feedback, I'm definitely not rushing to give it a chance 😩

[@dawnmorgart4038]

Why do so many people use the 'f' word. I stopped right there.

[@factcheckingyourmum]

What I've learned is that these books for whatever prize are usually disappointing. Honestly sometimes I feel like it's a marketing mafia.

[@ExLibrisKari]

Yeah I’ve been learning to navigate which prizes I can trust and align with the most!
