“I have decided that I don’t care anymore about looking cool. I just want to buy things that make me happy.” Dude, this is an amazing quote! I am implementing this in my life right now!

An underrated Canadian author you need to read is Douglas Coupland. His novels are creative and quietly humorous. Girlfriend in a Coma, Microserfs, Generation X, Jpod and so many more.

Masterclass! Margot Atwood's one was fantastic, glad you picked her book up. She has a collection of essays as well that are great. Can't wait to hear what you think of her stuff! Also, I picked up Greenwood by Michael Christie, sounds so interesting!

YES! The Door was one of my favorite reads from last year. Beautiful, wrenching, and gripping story. Song of Solomon is my most recent read and my favorite of this year and favorite Morrison book! Will be top five for sure.

Neil Gaiman!!! So freaking good - I think he also has a Master Class. AND I love when he’s the reader of his audiobooks! Pretty please explore his books - I’d love to hear your thoughts on his writing!

Heaven & Earth is so good. It has sat with me for weeks now, since I finished it, and I just love the characters. I recently read Chain-Gang All-Stars, and was so surprised how much I loved it-it’s a book that I think you’d enjoy. And I’m currently in the middle of The Reformatory-my first horror novel, if it can be described as that. 1950’s Jim Crow setting. It’s really good-another one I could see you liking. Another great vid-thanks!

Same!! Read Chain Gang in March & Heaven & Earth Grocery store last month, and really enjoyed them both. Also currently a quarter through The Reformatory as well.

You'll love The Door. Edith Wharton is my favourite American novelist; she's the first woman to win the Pulitzer for The Age of Innocence (I've read that 4 times), but The House of Mirth is definitely a close 2nd favourite. I can't wait to hear what you say about Wharton. I'm reading Go Ask Alice, it's a cool 50 year edition book and I just finished This Book Will Save Your Life- a super fun read and has a lot of good stuff for someone who is struggling with regrets. I'm the opposite of you- I read most of my life and now, I've not been reading. I love the book haul. P.S.- The Glass Castle is the best memoir ever. P.P.S.- I never watched the OC when it aired but watched it on Netflix and became obsessed with it

The Glass Castle. This book literally changed my life and is one that I talk about constantly. You will not want to put it down, and you will want to call your parents every day after reading it. I look forward to hearing your review. I read it in literally one day while I was a sophomore in high school.

I just finished Song of Solomon and it blew my mind. Instant new top 10 for me. The characters and prose were beyond belief. I hope you pick that as your next Morrison (which would make sense cause it’s her third novel after The Brightest Eye and Sula;) ) and I’m excited to hear your thoughts.

The Secret History is a great book and she is great writer. Unfortunately, The Goldfinch was a slog that I didn't finish. I got about halfway through and gave up. I got that far because she is a compelling writer but she tends to tell convoluted stories that start off intriguing but ultimately go nowhere (looking at you, The Little Friend, ugh). The books don't deliver on their promise. The only book that doesn't happen with is The Secret History.

Man, i read Giovannis Room last month and it's one of my all time favourites now. The characters are so complex and feel so real, im excited to hear what you think about it! Also, I just finished "the one-hundred-year-old man who climbed out of the window and disappeared, very different vibe, but one of the funniest books i've read. Definitely a big recommendation.
