What are the best books you've read this year? š
been loving audio books recently.. just got thru atomic habits finally and it was definitely helpful!ā¤
I'm currently reading Wrong Place Wrong Time because of you and I really love it so faršš
I feel the same way about romance novels as you – was about to give up on contemporary but then found Emily Henry also.
In my country the only transaction of Emily Henry is People we meet on vacation and there the characters didn't speak for quite some time because of miss communication š . I didn't like this book but I'll try book lovers because of you.
There are a lot of romance books that do not romanticize toxic men, quite the opposite! I actually have been seeing a new trend of romanticizing the nice guys, which is awesome! I have very similar taste to you (example, I also hated āthe hating gameā cause I found it toxic), but I absolutely fell in love with the romance genre in the past 6 months because itās the most fun and wholesome thing ever (if you find the right books!).
Only a side note… But what did your dad actually say? I don't speak french and I don't get anything š¤£š¤£
HAAHAHA, Emily! Super critique livre, ton papa! š
Now that i hear you talk about romance i realize that for the end of the year i'm re reading a short easy romance read. Its called Flipped &, even though it is more of a "highschool read" bc the story ends in their teens, its really a nice read. There are some points were you have some things about certain missunderstandings but to me they make sense bc they mostly happen when they are young. With the story you see them grow & how their relationship changes. The back of my edition says:
" Bryce: all i ever wanted is for juli baker to leave me alone.
But there was no going back, i liked her.
Julie: one look at bryce loski & i became a lunatic.
But all those years i liked him? I never really knew him"
I think you should try it, it isnt an adult read so some things are more surface level but its super intresting. If it catches your eye but not really enough just watch the movie, its a great adaptation
Look at us reading Korean lit because of idols. I read the same book because Kim Namjoon of BTS recommended it & I loved it!
I love how much overlap we have with books and hearing you gush about books I already love too š It means I have some great new adds for my TBR of the ones I haven't gotten to yet š
Translation of my fake dad's review: "Iām ashamed that youāre my daughter. Itās the worst book Iāve read in my life. If you ask me about it again Iāll disown you." Which is of course a joke lol He's 1/3 into it and enjoying it so far!
Please translate what your dad's thoughts were, I'm so curious
Small thing but Iām totally adopting "unfamiliar" as my explanation when it comes to Bible stories. For some reason I always feel the need to explain that I didnāt grow up in a religious household & have no clue about any Bible stories. Thereās so many references to it (supposedly) in books and I never know what to say about it.. "unfamiliar" is short, sweet, to the point & moves the conversation along lol
"Parable of Sower" and "Parable of Talents" were my favorite reads of the year. This was the Octavia E. Butler year for me as well. Loved "Kindred" so much.
Hey! Iām doing a video series on my channel in 2023 of reading my favorite booktubers best books of 2022. Would it be okay to include you?
Razorblade tears was great! And yes, I was emotionally invested in the morally āgreyā characters! Never would have picked this up without your reco. 4/5 for me!
This was a mediocre year for books Iāve read. There were only four good books Iāve read this year and they are:
1. Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak
2. Fox Creek by William Kent Krueger
3. Rebels at Sea by Eric Jay Dolin
4. Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister
Ok, mais lĆ ! Je tombe sur ta chaine pour la premiĆØre fois, je me dit que les recommandations sont intĆ©ressantes et PAF! tu es quĆ©becoise? Je m'abonne hahaha Can't wait to ear what your dad will say about Razorblade Tears and you made me move a few books on top of my TBR list
I have been hooked on Mark Tufo lately. I know the apocalypse and zombie thing have been done to death but his writing and humor got me back onboard. I am glad I don't have to worry about the kid think, I wore my pants too tight in the 80's, blessing in disguise.
Just a note on My Brilliant Friend…it takes place in Naples…not a small town š I agree it is a great book…all 4 of them š
The Reese's Book Club is 50/50. Some of her picks are good and others are not so good. Her good books are "Where the Crawdads Sing" by Delia Owens, "The Last Thing He Told Me" by Laura Dave and "Wrong Place Wrong Time" by Gillian McAllister. A bad book from Reese's Book Club was "The Guest List" by Lucy Foley.
I thought you liked "The Maid" by Nita Prose?
Kindred is one of my favorite reads this year!! And even though the show is a little different than the book, it was still good (in my opinion).
Hi Emily ! I've bought "The Book of the Unnamed Midwife" and "Kindred" this summer. Can't wait to read your favorites !
Hi ! I want to share with you about one book: "KAYAN KOLLYN- The spiral of the Ellmott & messenger of the secret." a great fiction of adventure, mystery, ART, an ancient CRAFFARTT, and science. once you read it, you definitely love it, because it speaks about all dimensions of life, without the barrier of the beliefs and social divisions.
Love your content!
Waiting for your review ā¤ā¤ā¤
You really make me want to read something by Octavia E. Butler! I've read Beach Read and I just didn't like it, for me it was just cliche and nothing special. I was waiting for something more, based on the hype around it. But I would still like to try another book by her but I'm a little scared I won't like that either lol.
I read the hole series of My Brilliant Friend this year and it is fantastic, can't say wich book is my favourite, just that I love them all hahaha. And besides My Brilliant Friend, some of the best books I read this year were Pachinko, the Daevabad trilogy and The Sound And The Fury
I have 10 days left and 10 books to complete my 100 book reading goal pressure
Elena Ferrante is great! I hope you love the ending of the series, it is truly haunting
I'm so scared of East of Eden š« might have to try it someday
I swear youāre the only person that reads scifi. Makes me so happy
I love your list. Razorblade Tears is my top read of this year. My Brilliant Friend has been on-off my TBR this year. Iām surprised you recommended it based on the other reviews Iāve seen. I just read The Christmas Wish by Lindsey Kelk and thoroughly enjoyed it. Maybe Iāll give Emily Henry another go. Iām not drawn to romantic books in general. Finally I think Iām going to try some Octavia E. Butler next year. Iāve only read Kindred (5 star!). Merry Christmas Emily!
Loved this also I knew these books were gonna be on this list š
