everything i read in 2020 📖 

It's interesting how frequently book loving middle schoolers turn into high schoolers who don't read much. Props to you for getting back into it!

i love everything about this! i was already hooked by the plants and stools and book piles but the way you explained each story is 10/10 (still watching and keeping this on as i clean the house lol)

Stargirl is honestly such a beautiful book...when I was struggling with trying to fit in, it taught me to really embrace myself ✨

hi charley! i just wanted to say i looooove the vibe of your videos. it feels like....waking up from a sleepover with a friend over the weekend and hanging out the next morning. it's so chill, cozy, and relaxed, your videos always put me at ease and help me appreciate the softer things in this world. i've also been getting back into reading this past year and am so excited to read your recommendations! hope you have a good day~

as a brazilian viewer i would like to tell you: don't feel pressured to like the alchemist or any of paulo coelho's books because they ARE very mediocre and have some plagiarism going on lol but i would love to recommend you to read machado de assis or guimaraes rosa. they're two very important and actually good brazilian authors :)) happy 2021 charley, love u!

everything about this is incredible. i love seeing more of book charley. the plants, the soft music, the books, what more could we ask for! much love :)

I love hearing you talk about these books!! It’s so fun to watch you talk about something you’re obviously passionate about :) watching your channel always brings me so much joy and comfort!

never thought i would watch a 54 minute video on youtube but i loved this! i’m trying to get back into reading so this inspired me to pick my book back up :)

I would recommend The marrow thieves by Cherie Dimaline, she is indigenous like me and this book is about a world destroyed by climate change and indigenous people of North America are being hunted for their bone marrow, which gives non-indigenous people the ability to dream. Very interesting

Ugh I love this video! I want to be in a book club with you haha I love how you talk about and describe books. I want to read them all! Hope you are well :)

I read stargirl when I was maybe 13? I recommend it to children before they move up to secondary school or around that time (10-13) its a really interesting age because its the time they are moving away from being a child, and I think its really important that during that time they are sure of who they are. I know i struggled with what was socially acceptable now I was in secondary school compared to what was acceptable in primary school when really it had only been a matter of weeks. There is a lot of pressure for children to grow up and fit in when they get to secondary school.

I love your book content! I'm a literature major right now, and as much as I love getting to read the books I do for class I am so, so excited to be able to just READ and not have to worry about how fast, assignments, papers, etc.

charley you are so incredibly thoughtful in everything you do. i am so happy to get to see this side of you. thank you so much for expanding the field of your content-it’s really amazing and i am so happy about it and for you! kisses and hugs 🌟❤️🌟❤️

love this!

This video was absolutely amazing. I enjoyed it A LOT. Thank you for all the book recommendations! I definitely need to make more time to read since I enjoy it very much.

I LOVE the way you talk about books! this video and the one about your fav books you read for school make me want to read so much more and i like that you rate the books with your personal enjoyement in mind rather than in like a really analytical and professional way!!! Hope you had a nice start into the new year

i love this video so much!! i actually read the howl’s moving castle book this year too and definitely found it to be so different than the film!! sophie and howl’s dynamic was more entertaining to me and i actually ended up enjoying how the characters were portrayed in the book much more than the movie! i really loved it, but i definitely understand why it wouldn’t be your favorite, the movie and book vibes are really so unexpectedly different! :)

sorcery of thorns was the the last book i read in 2020 and i adored it as well!! this was so fun to watch :)

Ahhh, I loved this vid so so much, it made my day

i absolutely love this video! i hope to see more content like this in the future

this video was so calming and interesting!

I loved this video so much. I’m doing A level English Lit at college in the UK and yes we read a lot of Shakespeare! Your style is so cute btw 💕

Yay! I’m so happy to find you. These reviews were prodigious. Beautifully done. I don’t completely agree (which makes me happy) but can’t wait for more. I’m a total middle school book lover, but wildwood let me down. I read it years ago and have never finished the series because I just didn’t care.

also, you can buy audiobooks from libro.fm and you can support small independent bookstores with your purchases :)

if you want a book like winnie the pooh as like a comfort book i recommend teddy robinson!

I loved all of the Laura Ingalls Wilder books growing up. The nature and the lifestyle helped me to slow down and enjoy the littlest tasks. I haven't reread them in a while so I will have to give them a reread to see the unfortunately racist stuff. :( Idk if you would be interested but I live near the Ozarks in Missouri and LIW's house is here that you can tour and there is a whole festival for her in the fall.

Okay but I’m so glad we share the same thoughts on The Alchemist 😅 I gave it like a 2/5

You make me REALLY want to read Shakespeare!!! In what order would you recommend me to read some of the plays from easy to hard? I’m not that good/intellectual when it comes to literature so I’d like to start off a bit easier :)

this makes me want to get into reading more. I started listening to non-fiction audiobooks and I've been loving it. I finished listening to Sitting Pretty by Rebekah Taussig and Disability Visibility edited by Alice Wong and highly recommend both if you are interested in disability non-fiction. Next on my list is An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States :)

how did I not know one of my favorite authors has a book where a main character and I share the same name I’m :o

I hated The Alchemist as well. Also, you seem too sweet to rate any book low hahaha or i´m too harsh. I loove when you talk about books! Definitely keep doing it

as you started describing twelfth night my eyes got wider and wider because i was realising that she's the man is based off of this story lmfao

you are so so beautiful❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

So Nice 💘💘💘💘💘💘
