Ranking My 2024 Reads...so far

[@Johanna_reads]

Paper Menagerie was so worth the hype, and it sounds like it was worth the reread! I may have read one of your mind-blowing favorites this last month. 👀💜

[@SheWasOnlyEvie]

Happy Place?!

[@OnlyTheBestFantasyNovels]

Looks like you've been having a great year so far. Always happy to see Gormenghast get some love.

[@SheWasOnlyEvie]

It’s such a forgotten gem on this corner of BookTube!

[@KFoxtheGreat]

So happy to see Pratchett rated so highly ❤ also, I didn’t know about that Gormengast reference in Equal Rites, but I'm not surprised and I guess that series is getting bumped up my tbr 😂 Also, I've never read Grapes of Wrath but I have Whose Names Are Unknown by Sanora Babb on my tbr, which is where people smarter than me speculate Steinbeck got some inspiration from if you want to read that with me at some point in the vague future

[@SheWasOnlyEvie]

I have heard of Sanora Babb! I think they just happened to be writing about the same thing-tenant farmers and migrant workers amidst the Great Depression-but I’d be interested to read her works to compare, for sure. We’ll have to pencil it in!

[@esmayrosalyne]

I loooove how you described the Emily Henry books, she really is just on another level! And consider me completely sold on Shards of Earth, I need to read more Tchaikovsky! Also, you're making me want to reread Liveships and The Paper Menagerie as well 🤩

[@SheWasOnlyEvie]

Do iiit, do iiit allll! 🤣

[@ZOMGfantasy]

Loved this ranking video, Evie! I haven't read much contemporary romance, but wow if I'm not seeing Emily Henry everywhere I look. Maybe that's where I'll start when I do.

[@SheWasOnlyEvie]

@@ZOMGfantasy Emily Henry’s books are where I started (and, admittedly, have stayed) with contemporary romance. 😅

[@laurablakeauthor]

Yes Iliad and Odyssey chat! Yesssss Emily Henry!!! ❤

[@SheWasOnlyEvie]

One day! Hopefully soon. 😅

[@Coleton2573]

Swan Song September!! Woo! 🔥 I'm reading East of Eden by Steinbeck right now and loving it, so I'm taking note of your Steinbeck recs.

[@SheWasOnlyEvie]

East of Eden will be soon(er rather than later)!

[@TomOrange]

Oh man I really thought you were going to make it the whole time without an abomination! Overall a good year so far though

[@SheWasOnlyEvie]

@@TomOrange There’s always one. 😭

[@mattkean1128]

Definitely several books I should be picking up!

[@SheWasOnlyEvie]

I think (hope) you would love The Gate to Women’s Country!

[@chadia25]

Yaay for Pratchett. 🎉 Added a few to the tbr. Thanks ❤

[@SheWasOnlyEvie]

It took me long enough to get the memo about how great Pratchett is. 🤣

[@iSamwise]

If you could force more people on BookTube to read one series would it be Titus Groan or Black Company?

[@SheWasOnlyEvie]

@@iSamwise Titus Groan for sure!

[@iSamwise]

@@SheWasOnlyEvie I just grabbed a copy of it at my local library sale so I must read it now!

[@SheWasOnlyEvie]

@@iSamwise Yaaaaaas!

[@slay.187]

I really should start Dune Messiah sometime this month 😶

[@SheWasOnlyEvie]

Do it!!!

[@readbykyle3082]

Boys life is too low but I forgive you 💪

[@SheWasOnlyEvie]

@@readbykyle3082 It’s in the mind-blowing tier!

[@nikolas.c.e1148]

First cause that matters.

[@SheWasOnlyEvie]

It would have stayed private forever if you hadn't said anything. Bless you. 🙏
