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.

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!

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.

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

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.
@ExLibrisKari5 ай бұрын
Ok I will give it a chance then because I know we have similar tastes! Thanks for sharing your thoughts 💖

When it comes to manga i would highly recommend Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind and Witch Hat Atelier :)
@ExLibrisKari5 ай бұрын
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! 💖

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

Donna Tartt is a genius!

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!
@ExLibrisKari4 ай бұрын
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!!

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

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?
@ExLibrisKari5 ай бұрын
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 ☺️

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

What are those really thin books on the bottom shelf?
@ExLibrisKari5 ай бұрын
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 ☺️

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

What I've learned is that these books for whatever prize are usually disappointing. Honestly sometimes I feel like it's a marketing mafia.
@ExLibrisKari5 ай бұрын
Yeah I’ve been learning to navigate which prizes I can trust and align with the most!
