I LOVE hearing about books no one else talks about! It’s really refreshing!

Book Lovers is my favorite! And the newest one Funny Story was also amazing!

“A lot of mouth action” 🤣 lol Actually didn’t know about the majority of these books and added them all to my never ending tbr because they sound amazing!

Damn, that's a good book haul. I would love to see a video about your favorite speculative fiction books. And I can't wait for the reviews of all these books 😊

@angemari728 17 дней назад

Just finished ‘A Magical Girl Retires’. I really enjoyed it☺️ Loved the illustrations after every chapter.

@andra7481 17 дней назад

I recently read The Family Experiment, I think you'll like it! It's very Black Mirror-esque haha, very unhinged at times. I've also been on the lookout for more of these sorts of books so this video came in just at the right time 👀 so many books to check out and add to the TBR! ❤

@sherryreadsbooks 16 дней назад

Yay a new G video I've been hearing about Derry Girl so much and saying you like it was the last straw, I'm watching the show📺

@crafts_n_books 17 дней назад

happy place is my favorite for the themes about friendship and finding yourself in your adult years! but def a less common fave among the masses haha I really loved the centre! Not a perfect book but I still think about it a lot & want to re-read someday

@TheChemist418 17 дней назад

Book Lovers was my favorite of the two, Happy Place was a close second! Chlorine is on my radar now…unhinged mermaids sounds interesting

@JessicaParker-v9c 9 дней назад

Added several of these to my tbr 😊

@Rbekiux 17 дней назад

@ellenmadebookclub 17 дней назад

I loved Bandit queens, funny and infuriating, and I’m reading the centre in the fall. Had my eye on chlorine as well. Enjoy! 😃

@kitty4407 17 дней назад

This is one of the best book hauls. I want to put every single one on my TBR.

@renata374 17 дней назад

Happy Place is my favorite but its super hit or miss. Book Lovers is "safer", i think you have a higher chance to like this one.

@BookRoast 17 дней назад

I'm very curious to see which one I like more!

@tappkalina 16 дней назад

Same! Happy Place is the best EH book in my opinion.

@KitAE0 17 дней назад

Book Lovers is my favourite. It didn't hurt at all that the descriptions of the main characters gave me massive Elizabeth Moss & Max Minghella vibes (and as someone who was obsessed with their chemistry in The Handmaid's Tale & has a tough time imagining characters in my head, it worked out perfectly). I love that book so much that I wish I'd managed to get it in signed and in hardback when it was first out 🥲 I didn't really like Happy Place, but for some reason during an unhaul I couldn't seem to get rid of it so I might try to reread it, may grow on me

@msellenandrea 17 дней назад

So many books to add to my list! A book that would fit this haul is the echo wife 😊

@BookRoast 17 дней назад

shall check it out! ☺️

@msellenandrea 17 дней назад

@@BookRoast It's about clones, and a mystery and it gets pretty weird :D

@AZebraReads 17 дней назад

Happy Place is my favourite mostly because it ruined my life. It absolutely scooped my insides out purely because it hit far too close to home for me, it opened up wounds I didn't realise we're still there from a situation I had from a previous relationship and friendships that got dredged up by the book and it just felt so raw. So I think it's more of a me thing than the book specifically 😅 but it was ultimately really healing. Book Lovers though I just loved for the sake of loving the characters and writing and plot. So make of that what you will... 😂

@MoJordanReads 13 дней назад

Book Lovers is the only EH I have yet to read. I personally LOVED Happy Place but it's pretty polarizing. I thought it was really emotional and raw and I think it's best fitting for people who can relate maybe? If you've been through a dark time when you weren't necessarily being rational and communicating well, then you will understand where these characters are coming from. Otherwise, it might come off as a bad miscommunication trope. Hope that makes sense and helps some.

@veroni4559 17 дней назад

I've read Patricia wants to cuddle last year and it was definitely weird and I enjoyed it

@debyik 17 дней назад

@BookRoast 17 дней назад

@emraup 17 дней назад

Book Lovers was my favorite but I just read Happy Place and it’s a close second! I thought I wouldn’t like the tropes in it but they didn’t bother me at all.

@Silverraine1 17 дней назад

I loved A Magical Girl Retires! There's no connection with Alice in Wonderland. It's an original work inspired by Sailor Moon, but 'magical girl' is a whole sub-genre in itself. Expect themes you'd find in superhero books like hope, courage, justice, etc, It's also gently sapphic.💖

If you read more clifi and books with nature themes you can participate in the Climathon - it is a year long readathon about the environment 🥰

@llaiyaz 17 дней назад

I loved the bandit queens, it has great dark humor, interesting characters and a lot of exploration of women's issues (trigger warnings).

@BookRoast 17 дней назад

I’m so so excited to try it!

@jasminu4971 15 дней назад

I‘m so excited to hear your thoughts after reading all of them, they sounded super intriguing!

@lindsaylexii5283 17 дней назад

Adding a lot of these to my list as well! Love weird and also thought provoking books! Chlorine sounds exciting in a weird way. Please, do make vlog/-s of you reading these! ❤ Love uuu, G! Have a nice rest of the week! P.S. Also lowkey ready for fall/autumn already. Am I the only one? 😁

@Jennifer1306 16 дней назад

I loved Chlorine, gave it 5 stars! It's my best book of the year so far. It's definitely unhinged but also quite sad, yet beautiful. And I've instantly added almost everything else to my tbr list, they all sound so good! My favourite Emily Henry was Happy Place, closely followed by Book Lovers, so I hope you'll like both of them.

@MinBeasley-z8o 2 дня назад

I love this video! I feel like we have similar reading tastes, as one of my faves is The Name of the Wind, but I also like a lot of others you like! Out of your haul, I have read The Bandit Queens (LOVED, I don’t know if you keep up with the women’s prize for fiction, but it was long listed last year, so not that random! I hope you love it. It’s got everything!), The Centre which I enjoyed, and 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World, which is by one of my favourite authors. Have you read anything by Elif Shafak before?

@rachel43274 16 дней назад

Loved The Bandit Queens! The Centre and 10 minutes and 38 seconds are on my TBR, and i just requested Children of the New World from my library!

@maria83maria 17 дней назад

I really loved the bandit queens. Geetas adventures where funny, little romance in it, miscomunication. And triggers for Atempt of rape. Cast differences,this book had everything.

@katrinasdesk 16 дней назад

Not me silently panicking because of the special editions for The Expanse books. I only own the first but I’m so afraid they will sell out at some point. Love the series so much! Really enjoying learning about the books you choose. I’ll have to look into a few of them.

@ofbooksandstarlight 17 дней назад

not my kind of books but I love seeing your excitement for them! I'm ready to be convinced to pick them up whenever you've read them 😊

@AbiofPellinor 17 дней назад

who *doesn't* love weird books?!?

@_ashleylh 17 дней назад

I have Book Lovers and I hope to get to it this summer. I adore Happy Place but I am in my late thirties and am married with kids and I have went through the things that the friendship group goes through. I wonder if that made a difference to my enjoyment? Also love weird books. Keep them coming...! I already have Patricia Wants to Cuddle and Chlorine on my radar but Girlfriend on Mars sounds intriguing. I am currently reading Maeve Fly and its weird but horrific too - I am enjoying my read but it is definitely not for everybody!

@BookedPanda 17 дней назад

Book Lovers over Funny Story for sure. The Family Experiment sounds interesting. Toward Eternity by Anton Hur might be up your alley as well, it is a speculative novel questioning what it means to be human with AI and biology mixing.

@BookRoast 17 дней назад

seems so far like book lovers is getting all the votes, very good to know!

„Humans” I absolutely love and hate that show, because it devastated me. And it’s unfortunate that it came „too soon” because I think if they’d released it now, with all that ai sh*t going on, it would have a much bigger audience.
