I don't think is a coincidence that all of my favorite booktubers have the picture of Dorian Gray as one of their favorite classics, I guess it's time for me to read it. Honestly, I love all of your recommendations, some of them I've been trying to read for such a long time and I think it's time a read them cause lately I've been reading books that I'm not really enjoying so I hope some of these are 5 stars for me.

Piranesi was one of the most unique and entrancing reading experiences I've had. The mystery of it all really pulls you in, and it does so much for a book that's a little over a hundred pages.

@serenity8910 2 года назад

I'm reading it right now and it is truly a wonderful book. Highly recommended. I went in not knowing much about the plot and I think it's the best way to go!

@abigase135 2 года назад

That's definitely a unique book, you have such a magical atmospheric vibe in the beginning, you get sucked in trying to figure out the world then it completely shifts genres by the end. Piranesi never lost his pure personality, he's one of my top fictional characters that need to be hugged for days

I would be super interested in seeing a long books video because the fear of long books is real, but I read Gone with the Wind last year and it became a favorite of all time, so I would definitely like to read longer, more intricate stories such as that one.

@sealisa1398 2 года назад

Hawaii…that’s quite long, about 900 pages with small print. Definitely one of the greatest book I’ve read. The first 20 pages sucked me in completely. Historical novel.

@abigase135 2 года назад

That's true, I've had that fear for so long and the issue is that I keep adding those books to my tbr. I tried picking up Illborn and finished it in a couple of days. So I guess it depends on the author(their writing and pace).. some make you feel how long the book is while others make every page enjoyable so you're never bored. The good ones aren't easy to find tho lol

Okay I love your book recommendations anyway, but I’m so excited about that Ace book and it’s definitely going on my list. I’m aceflux and it’s been so hard explaining it to people. So many people have so many misconceptions about ace like it’s waiting til marriage or being a nun or not wanting children. Which in my opinion and experience, it’s not. I hope there can be more ace representation in media so more people can understand it

@sarahdawson975 2 года назад

I’m definitely going to add some of these, I think I was expecting shorter books. I tend to read books in the 300 page range as a regular length book, so 250 doesn’t feel that much shorter, especially because I have limited reading time and manage maybe 20-30 pages a session (on a good night 🥴) Would love to see a list of novellas. The Yellow Wallpaper is a favorite.

@jessicamarshall1975 2 года назад

I tend to find graphic novels/comics/manga quick read, usually they take under a day, depending on how invested I get. Also a lot of books can be a one day read if you get invested in them. I had to read ‘The Kite Runner’ for English Lit and every time I finished a chapter I thought just one more. Come 6am the next morning and I’m emotionally devastated but I finished the book. Took me about 12 hours (though I did stop for dinner and did get a couple of hours sleep). Edit: I originally said any book could be a one day read. Yeah. Some books are just too long but if you want to go for it you do you.

Some of my favourite short books are 'In Watermelon Sugar', which I found super unique and cozy, and 'This Is How You Lose The Time War' which has some of the most stunning prose I've ever read. It's basically about two characters who write letters to each other over a span of time and each character is actually written by a different author. It's one of the most beautiful books I've ever read. Highly recommend both!
