The guy at the bookstore said I like to read realistic tragedies or something like that. Basically he said I liked to read books that are realistic but really messed up with how sad or tragic they are. I thought that was fitting with some of my books: The Goldfinch, The Secret History, and A Little Life

Book 👏 Shelf 👏 Tour 👏 Also, I have The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo on my bookshelf waiting to be read after I finish the one I’m currently on! As for recommendations, my favorite book ever is A Clockwork Orange...it’s written kinda all in slangy English-Russian but you come to understand it and it has good themes and huge tw but I love it so much :) (I also always recommend Life of Pi by Yann Martel...if you haven’t read it yet, what are you doing??? Go read it it’s incredible!!)

That slightly awkward moment when you come to a video looking for book recommendations, but you've already read all the books in the list 😂 definitely some excellent choices! Also, I've literally never met anyone who doesn't like Perfume by Patrick Süskind! All the people I know who've already read it and the people I've recommended it to (and that's been a lot) have loved it! As for recommendations for you - Yukio Mishima has some excellent books - I particularly enjoyed a series (5 books) that he wrote and the first one is called The Sea of Fertility. And House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski - I found the story fascinating and then it is just written in such an intricate, unusual, and interesting way. It just sucks me in every time 😊 Oh! And Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell (actually, anything by him is fantastic in my humble opinion haha) is a beautiful story along the theme of reincarnation and the idea of souls meeting again and again in different lives 💖 That was a long comment.. sorry Haha! But I do tend to get excited about books! 😊
"The picture of Dorian Gray" is one of my favorites too! I think this is the first book that explained me how human beings work, and after I finished it I fell like I understood everything I needed to know about life.
I'll never stop supporting physical forms of media and books, for me part of the experience is holding and reading the actual thing that the writer produced.
So refreshing to see some new books.. And a the fact that your books are not all hardcover and a little soiled. It makes feel better about my books and I'm sure others feel like that too Coz not everyone can afford hardcopies or brand new copies and have enough space at home to keep all the books super new and clean. Thank you for the recs Cami! I'm watching your content for the first time and I love you already! ♡
I read The Picture of Dorian Gray for school and that was the only book I actually ever read for class. I'm so glad I took the time to read it because WOW. It's incredibly written and just pulls you right in! I'm glad it's in your list because it's definitely in mine!! I'm glad you're staying safe and healthy during these weird times! Keep being magical!!
I chose to read it to compare with another gothic novel (I chose Jekyll and Hyde) during my A-levels. I'd never heard of Dorian Gray before but I really enjoyed it and the themes. I saw it in the theatre about a year ago and it was really good too!

Most libraries have online databases on the apps Libby or Overdrive. If your library is connected to those, just enter your library card information and you'll have access to their ebooks and audiobooks. (The apps are totally free.)
Emily A. Davis yes i use them buuuut, i’m a terrible online reader i usually need a physical book to read but since this is gonna last awhile i’ll probably have to work on that
while watching other booktubers, this was on the recommended ones and my eyes literally squinted at the stacked books on the thumbnail and i wasn't wrong!!!! i finally found my first booktuber who is a MURAKAMIAAAAAN
"This is how you lose the time war" is a semi-epistolary, sci-fi novella with poetry disguised as fiction prose. It's also a female/female, enemies-to-lovers romance!
YES TO THE HARUKI MURAKAMI INCLUSION AHHH I'm so excited about this because I never see him on people's lists and he's literally such a brilliant author
Parfume is one of my all time favorite books too, I also love a few others you´ve mentioned. So I will definitely check out all the others you recommend, I think we have a very similar taste in books and you should make more of these kinds of videos. 🤩

One is undoubtedly richer after reading, I give you this literary work that you can read by downloading free of charge in the mobile application "El Libro Total". I wish you a happy day.
I highly recommend A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki! It’s also magical realism, and it intertwines Buddhism and spirituality! One of my favourite books🥺
when you were talking about the girl with the dragon tattoo I thought you were gonna say you were only reading it because you were trying to impress the guy's sister lmaoo
OMG THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY I FORGOT THAT WAS ONE OF MY FAV BOOKS AS WELL. OMGGGGG OSCAR WILDE IS AMAZING. Also if you love that one read the importance of being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, its a completely different tone and atmosphere, but it is hilarious with it's sarcasm! There should be a Cami book club/ forum/ thread thing :).
I'm literally reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo right now!! Been wanting to read it for years and finally reading it during lockdown. 2/3 of the way through. Loving it as well
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a wonderful book and I honestly love the original trilogy. There’s actually a real life mystery behind the author of the series. A few others that I personally love is The Time Traveler’s Wife and The Lovely Bones.

Book no. 1 and I'm sold! I have LOVED this book since I first read it when i was like 15-16 and it has since remained my no. 1 and will probably remain that way for a long long LONG time!
everyone needs to read "the rules of magic" by alice Hoffman! she gets so intimate with the characters it's really like meeting a new family and watching their growth. so beautiful

No way 😭 never met anyone who like perfume! I had to read it in grade 10 and I loved it and read it 3 times now it’s so epic 🙌🏽 made me really happy to see this on your list omg
People who say they don’t have time to read are lying to themselves. I love reading so much and i make time for it if not every day, at least multiple times a week. Everyone has the same amount of time and “not having time” = “i just don’t really want to read”. Not everyone likes to read and that’s ok, i just get so annoyed when people are always like “oh how do you have the time??” like UM I MAKE TIME FOR IT BECAUSE I LOVE DOING IT? Sorry. i’m just annoyed at that excuse.
for real like I'm am so busy I don't even know how I have time to sleep at night, but I love reading with my whole heart and its such a lame excuse like even if your super busy everyone has at least 20m a day to read a book
I love reading but I have 10 hours of school from monday to friday, i go to work (part time job) at Saturdays and help my mom im sundays and go to church till afternoon then i do schoolwork and yeah im stressed and feel pressured and i fucking hate it and there are times where i feel like killing myself because i feel like im being forced to grow up and get rly tired that i just wanna sleep in my free time. its actually worse than you think it is, i hate my life, i wish i could have a day off but ugh akfkdkdkef just saying this because this comment makes me kinda mad idk
I don't really understand people hating Perfume, hands down my favorite book. It's so disconnected from reality, even the "disturbing" parts aren't that disturbing. The language is so beautiful, and the story is so insane. Love it with all my heart. Currently on Dragon Tattoo. Solid recs
Magical realism, never thought I'd heard that outside of my Language (the equivalent of English B in my native language, Spanish) class. If you like that style of writing you should check some latin american authors like Julio Cortázar and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, they have some amazing novels that I really enjoyed reading for class
here are my recommendations if you like metafiction works like Murakami. - The hour of the star- Clarice lispector - Don Quixote (classic but a must) - if on a winter night a traveler- Italo calvino - Atonement- Ian Mcewan - Slaughterhouse five- Kurt Vonnegut
"Das Parfüm" (the parfume) is one of my favorit books as well, and I'm very sorry to say that, but the way you pronounce the name of the main protagonist made me laugh very hard. It was very sweet and I know french names can be quit difficult (If it helps it should sound a bit like: "Cronui"). And I probably pronounce the majority of names in books written by english or american authors wrong, so there we go :)
As a fellow booknerd, I absolutely loved this video! I currently have 125 books on my physical TBR in my personal home library and I've now added a few more thanks to this video! Also, audiobooks are amazing and IT DOES COUNT AS READING to anyone wanting to argue that. You are still consuming a story, just in a different format (don't even say blind people who rely on audio to read aren't reading. They are!) But, another amazing way to get audiobooks is through your local library! My library has 4 different apps I can use to consume audiobooks all for free! So support your local libraries if you can't afford to purchase books/audiobooks. And reading is sexy! You are very right on that! More people need to read!! :) There's a whole Booktube community here on RU-vid full of book nerds! It's fantastic!
That intro I replayed so many times because it cracked me up so much! To those of you who don’t want to pay for audiobooks / audible in the Long run and have a library card, would highly recommend an app called Libby which connects you to any library you have a library (internationally) and you can listen to audiobooks on there for F R E E !! Of course it only works if your library has a good stock of audiobooks, but doing this has allowed me to access 100s of audiobooks without spending a penny! Hope this helps at least one of you x

I just discovered her now, and the way she clenched her fists to express her undying love for books made bubbles and butterflies erupt in the pit of my stomach cause gah girl, same
The Wall by Marlen Haushofer is amazing! It's about a woman who wakes up one day and finds herself separated from the rest of the world by an invisible wall, and has to learn to survive in the wilderness with a dog, a cat and a cow as her only companions. It's beautiful and heartbreaking and totally worth it.
My favorite book is Endless Love by Scott Spenser. I read it first when I was 15 yrs old and it really fucked with my head and idea of relationships. I’m 52 now. I’ve read it several times in my life and there’s just something abt this damn book that I’ve never shaken and always came back too. I still love it.
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern is one of my favorite books that I would recommend to any and everyone. She really beautifully intertwines the real world ~1900 and magic and love (even though I'm not usually one to read a romance novel. The number 1 thing that makes this my favorite book is the fact that I have never gotten so completely sucked into a story, this book will seriously make you believe in it and its amazing
I’m adding all of these books to my reading list, thanks for sharing! 💫 Keep rising to be who you want to be! 💫 #keeprising #risingtobe #aswerise #riser
Gosh I can’t even count on all my toes and fingers how many times I’ve read Dracula . I loveeee that book. It was one of the first books I remember reading as a teen that really took me to that place and time mentally . I also have it in audible and love to listen to it as well c: some books you never get tired of no matter how many times you read them . Thanks for the recommendations ! ❤️hope your doing well!
@@CamiPetyn I wish I could write you a reading but in short, you have very similar placements with Billie Eilish (you might find that you relate to her in some way). Very fascination with the dark side of life, you prefer to be alone, lack of care for material gains (which makes you feel like you don't fit in with society), relationships are what terrify you the most, sometimes you struggle with recognising your own sense of identity. I could do on, but I don't know if you'll ever read this. I hope you do! Your chart is fascinating!!
I agree so much when it comes to Dorian Grey! It has to be one of my favorite gothic classics? Definitely my all-time favorite classic. Oscar's characters are so complex and the quotes in the book were so fookin poetic
