Brandi Carlile is, in my opinion, a true genius. She’s so purely, naturally gifted in so many areas. Her instincts - in music and in life, are breathtaking. So proud of all she contributes to this world.

[@jenniferkang7629]

I love this new segment! Please keep making these.

[@MrButtFros]

Oh Brandi. Just when I thought I couldn’t love you more. You go and talk Velvet Elvis to me.

[@Slambam73]

Her detailed recommendations make me want to read ALL of these books!

[@theldun1]

Its great to see people reading . So many people just don't do it anymore. It's like a lost art ever since the advent of the cell phone and the internet.

[@MothGirl007]

I am addicted to books and always will be.

[@lynnstlaurent6789]

Everyone I know reads. It takes months to get a bestseller from my library.

[@rosea1505]

It’s unfortunate how severely phones and things can affect your ability to concentrate. I definitely noticed a decrease over the years. I use to read books a day and honestly I haven’t read one in ages. I need to do some shopping at a local book store as I want so badly to get back into reading.

[@canaisyoung3601]

Now if we can get them to understand what they read, we'll be in business.

[@Monk-ow3ok]

I love these book recommendations segments

[@hammun6]

Did you watch the one with John Cena, though? So embarassing...

[@coffeeandcommunity]

Ragamuffin Gospel and Velvet Elvis are some of my absolute faves, I discovered them in college when I was beginning to unwind my way out of fundamentalism and evangelicalism. Untamed is my guide now as an LGBTQ divinity student. I always loved Brandi's music, but her book taste makes me wanna know her as a person and I can't wait to read her book.

[@PJJ492]

Great feature. Keep it up!

[@wacabell]

Love this segment and love the jacket, said the old superficial queen.

[@carriekitzmiller7627]

Love the What Ya Reading spots! More, please.

[@davidlane256]

Leslie Jordan and Glennon Doyle have both been on Mayim Bialiks KZbin channel and podcast

[@spottheturtle9568]

Geez.... There are so many great books out there. Joe Abercrombie and Brian Mcclellan are fantastic dark fantasy writers. Truly a great time for Grim-dark and Flintlock fantasy. I love the southern gothics of Michael McDowell. Shout out to Brandi.... Love love love her tunes and hope to catch her and the twins this summer somewhere. I can't wait to get out to some shows again. Also, so many hard working guys and gals who work on the road crews have been devistated financially by this pandemic. I really hope that we can get things under control so these folks can get back to doing what they do. Hope to see y'all soon Ms. Brandi. Peace and much love to y'all.

[@LindaLKA]

Fantastic segment!

[@kellymccutcheon2848]

Loved this! Now excuse me while I go purchase all of these books! ♥️

[@klarastern5597]

Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

[@NikBY]

She wrote another that I'm reading right now, called The Starless Sea.

[@mlebrooks]

Not my favorite book but what I'm reading is the Graveyard book by Neil Gaiman

[@lauraanndekker7396]

"The Alchemist" is ok, but not as great as everyone says. You're fine, Brandi.

[@macareuxmoine]

Agree. It’s overrated.

[@MATTFIOCCHI]

I think the alchemist tends to be exciting for people who have never encountered spiritual ideas before. Pretty meh.

[@ddjwebb]

Amen.

[@NewMessage]

You can read books too? They aren't just for zoom backgrounds? Neat.

[@canaisyoung3601]

Yes, and I'm old enough to know that. I would sigh and wish for society to end because of people being so dumb, but then COVID happened...

[@peggyfranzen6159]

' We", by Eugene Zamatytin

[@juliaset751]

Thank You Brandi, I put those on my list. I have always been into science fiction and fantasy books, but have expanded my choices over the years.

[@maryarban2662]

Give to The Craddock Center, Cherry Log, GA. You won t regret it, but will open yourself to the chance to change more lives than you could have alone. Thank you andI know God is with you.

[@mlebrooks]

The scary story where the quilt suffocates you kept me awake at night in second grade

[@ernestomarcos0103]

If you've ever watched Will & Grace you know Leslie Jordan!!

[@adamdifilippe8066]

I'd love to see more of these! #LibrarianLove

[@lucietesilva3342]

I love Brandi Carlile 🌻

[@demonorse]

I'm reading "Hernando de Soto" right now. It's about the holocaust perpetrated by the Spanish in the Americas.

[@deborahmoshier-dunn6269]

Thank you for that! I downloaded a couple already... :)

[@cesstorycorner5955]

Love this! Thanks you! With all the political books aways being highlighted on this show, this is a total breath of fresh air and would love to see it done more often 😁 It'd be awesome to have one focused on indie and small press authors, though - especially bipoc and lgbt+ indie/small press authors as they have the hardest time. Getting to see one of my fellow indie/small press authors get a shout-out and a chance to succeed big time would be awesome. 😁

[@snowytyler3793]

Aww love her!!

[@phantom7crossrose528]

Favorite book: Blowing your way to the top Author: K. Harris Illustration by: Big Willie Review: not really what you would call an esoteric read if you can swallow that😇

[@EmanDeMoan]

LOVE THIS!

[@berniewatson1961]

Very interesting! 😊🙋🏼‍♀️

[@gatorgirl5701]

Nice!

[@posthocprior]

She’s well read.

[@shoegal]

Interesting book choices

[@justthinking526]

Please tone down the background music. So frustrating when her voice drops quietly and I've missed her words. Jazz is annoying to some

[@hammun6]

A songwriter/storyteller as good as Brandi HAS to be an avid reader. There just is no way around that fact. And this segment is proof of that fact. (as opposed to say, John Cena, who is so obviously such a stranger to the printed word that he had to read book names off of his cellphone).

[@FrankieXanthus]

I mean he can't be a total stranger, he's written at least two books. They are very popular at my library. Also, there is nothing wrong with referring to a list and it feels a bit abelist to suggest there is. As someone with ADHD who has a difficult time recalling detailed information and especially poor short-term memory, if I was recording a clip like this I'd also have to refer to my notes---and I'm a librarian. I'd probably just do a better job of hiding it. I'd list my notes on a sheet of paper right behind or below the camera so you couldn't tell I was looking at them, while still being able to remind myself which books I wanted to talk about.

[@susuzkuyu7599]

Ok

[@josephq2228]

💜2021✨what ya readin'?... #MillenniumLanceAndTheOpenScroll 🌹 #Daniel Chapters 8 thru 12 💜😎

[@lazyperfectionist1]

Do any of these people, perhaps, have books that they have read in another _language?_

[@jasonbean591]

A woman I’ve never heard of, telling me about books I’ve never seen. Compelling.

[@RonWinter335]

Educated kind of freaked me out.

[@Dryndal]

OK... enough ;)

[@RK-ep8qy]

Lol

[@wurdnurd1]

Oh, honey, if you loved Educated so much, maybe actually read it for the content. Westover has multiple siblings with PhDs, some of which got theirs BEFORE her. Her family owns one of the largest essential oil businesses in the world, and many of the stories have been refuted or are flat-out lies. The book is a mish-mash of poverty- and trauma-porn, and leaves out so many details that would have made it make sense, just to make Westover's story more dramatic than it actually was. Do better, really.

[@sciencesaves]

ugh christian books . yuck

[@bartwilson2513]

One Christian book. If you can’t deal with that without freaking out, the problem may lie with you.

[@peggyfranzen6159]

Eugene Zamatytin.😮

[@sapna627]

she doesnt even know that leslie jordan is an actor from a very famous tv show.

[@Dryndal]

Third!

[@Dryndal]

Wow...

[@Dryndal]

First?

[@Dryndal]

I guess I am :)

[@Dryndal]

Second?

[@Dryndal]

Hmmm... is there anybody here?
