my favourite books of 2020 📖☁️

[@onionyam5231]

the travelling cat chronicles, northern lights (and the rest of the series) and spinning silver are on the top of my tbr for 2021!! 😭 especially the latter because you have also convinced me to get into fairy tales 🥺 happy new year christy!!

[@zorinilungtau]

The way you held The Priory of the Orange Tree in your hands, you seem to really love it. 😄 Your review makes me want to read it, and when you said it has the best female characterization, I was excited. Yes, Pachinko is a wonderful book and I'm glad I came across it.I believe you've heard that there's going to be a mini series on it by Apple TV.

[@festabts]

Adding another million to my must read books. I love how you tell the story of each book! I'm happy i discovered your channel (came here from Cari's channel). Kinda wish you can list the books you mentioned in the description. Or i can find it in your other platforms? Thank you anyway! 🥰

[@copper_corgi]

My New Years resolution would be to finish all the books I have before buying more 😓

[@christy-anne-jones]

Best of luck with it!! 💛

[@mehchocolate1257]

[@jennaschmidt3332]

Same but let‘s be honest: it never really works out😂😂

[@kb-ih7ni]

Ahh, this resolution has been on my list for years now. Needless to say it remains unachieved =))

[@Lisa-ym1si]

It’s always important to have lots of unread books in case of a book emergency. Or some situation where you’re stuck in the house all the time and can’t go shopping. Not that that would ever happen...

[@RebeccaStoneoffthehook]

Your cover for Daughter of Smoke and Bone is gorgeous!

[@ЖанарстановаДарина]

thank you very much for this cozy video ! your pronunсiation is so good, i understood many words you told, just i'm a person, who learns English!

[@RookieVolt]

Hi Christy! Lovely video I have a question though: What are some notebooks that you recommend to writing?

[@christy-anne-jones]

I love some of the Kikki K notebooks because the paper is quite thick and my pen doesn't bleed through! Otherwise, generally I use cheap $5-10 hardback, A5 notebooks. I always pick brown or black 😊

[@ElmoTinker]

Pachinko is definitely one of the best books I've read thus far. Good choice!

[@satopin7770]

I love that you read Japanese authors as well! Thank you for introducing me to new books to read :)

Sweet Bean Paste is my favorite book in 2021 so far. It's so cozy to read and full of life long lessons. :)

[@secretlifeofeve]

Not for me tho. So hard to finish because it was so boring for me, it wasn't interesting and it was plain

[@graceplatt9313]

In the UK, his dark materials has been turned into a series with two seasons now. It's really good! You could probably watch it online :)

[@tehmeenachaudhry]

I love how they've added some background and perfectly temporally layered the plot between the books! Mrs. Coulter (shudder) is one of the most fascinating characters in fiction and the little bits of background they give her are (chef's kiss) !

[@lyra9767]

They are my fav books❤️

[@lakeshagadson357]

i like to get to know a little bit about what kind books that fits you.

[@danieladamico5485]

I'm currently reading Sweet Bean Paste and it's such a sweet story 😢❤

[@sagetorrisi7097]

My best friend has been raving about Six of Crows for years now so i think I’m finally going to make a point to read it this year (:

[@withakiwiontop]

It will also come to Netflix as a series in April, so even more to look forward to! I'm already so excited, I read Six of Crows two years ago - can't wait! :D The Netflix series is called Shadows and Bones if you are interested :)

[@rae_of_sunlight]

I loved Pachinko too, and I really want to read Girl, Woman, Other this year. I made a video about the books I loved in 2020 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJ3Ggap3abilras You're always such an inspiration for my reading 💛

[@womanoftext190]

"an absolute dumpster fire" 😂BEST description of 2020. I recently started reading The Magic Toyshop by Angela Carter as per your recommendation, love it! She has such a distinct writing style, amazing 📕

[@morganinwanderland]

I loooved The Travelling Cat Chronicles! Going to check out Sweet Bean Paste and Before the Coffee Gets Cold based on your review so thanks for that!☺️ If you haven’t already read Genki Kawamura’s If Cats Were to Disappear from the Earth, you might like that too.

[@brittneykristina2487]

These books are all so cool and unique! Thanks for this video, I'm eager to read all of them!

[@nerdine1987]

Happy new year :) My favorite reads the year 2020 are Circe, Rebecca, the traveling cat chronicles and the starless sea. Your reading taste is very similar to mine, I have so many books you mentioned at home and cannot wait to read them all :)

[@louisa1878]

The algorithm is starting to finally work for me! I’ve been watching book tube for 5-6 years and you have never been recommended to me! Ridiculous.

[@christy-anne-jones]

Aawwh 💛 thank you so much 😭

[@midnightrose6868]

There is going to be a show coming out in April on Netflix that combines the Shadow and Bone trilogy and the Six of Crows duology (it’s going to be called Shadow and Bone) They did an announcement teaser in December that was stunning (you’ll see a crow show up in the teaser as well!) Going by the casting they’ve aged up everyone for the television show. 😊

[@romalibra_books]

I think you would love "Walk Two Moons". It's a beautiful middle grade that makes you feel so much

[@kristenr563]

The Traveling Cat Chronicles surprised me. 5 stars and lots of tears!💕

Wow, I watch a lot of these types of videos and I have never wanted to read every book. I have already read Educated and I loved it too. You would probably also love The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, if you haven’t read it already.

I read a sample of The Travelling Cat Chronicles and was already in tears, but I immediately borrowed the ebook from my library! Thank you for the recommendation.

Thank you so much for the lovely recommendations - accidentally stumbled on your channel and really enjoyed them! Have ordered the two Japanese books you mentioned (you may like The Convenience Store Woman as well!), plus Priory, which I've been avoiding due to some online reviews. Incidentally, if you are into fantasy and strong female characters, there is really no one better than Sarah J Mass for me. LOVED Crescent City, even liked Court of Silver Flames (given Nesta, main character, is REALLY difficult, but this book is her 'scratch under the surface and see everyone is complicated'). Wonderful, compelling stuff. Thank you again!
