@Natilra 4 года назад

You had a lot of feminists texts there but not Difficult Women by Helen Lewis. It's a (British) feminist history, talking about the intersectional fights that don't normally get mentioned when discussing Thatcher or the suffragettes. And introduced me to whole range of role models who I can identify with much more readily than the Pankhursts. It's so good & important that as well as the Audible copy for myself, I've also bought a hard copy to lend to people.

Reading hibernation is a good quarantine rebrand. Thanks for doing this. I’ve been keeping an eye on Losing Eden (narrative nature is my catnip) and No Modernism Without Lesbians (so here for it). Paris Review has a periodic feature on feminizing the canon that highlights a forgotten woman and her book(s). Learned about Cora Sandel from it.

Hi! I'm currently reading a book my Mona Chollet called Sorcières, la puissance invaincue des femmes, which apparently will be issued in English in 2021. It's about the witch-hunts and their heritage today. I also started reading Ready Player One upon your recommendation. And re-reading all the Uncle Scrooge's youth comics by Don Rosa. I want to read every single book you recommended!

@KiwifruitFig 4 года назад

Leena! Just finished watching Normal People A SECOND TIME from your recommendation. It’s absolute perfection.

@bettyreads222 4 года назад

Outpost and How to Belong sound so great and I screamed ah! when you read the description of Charlotte. Must have! That sounds so good. So looking forward to Elizabeth Acevedo's book too, because I just feel so seen by her writing.

@hannahhunter1468 4 года назад

Leena, have you read Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer? Just feel it could really resonate with you for a rallying cry/ narrative nature writing read. It's a really beautiful, radical read by an indigenous person who is also a biology professor in New York. Really changed the way I think about EVERYTHING

I've never heard anyone talk about The Adulterants. I read Submarine and thought it was hilarious but was not sure his second book would live up to the first so hadn't picked up The Adulterants - definitely will check it out now!

@levanaeckert494 4 года назад

YES. I will need more of this, please. Your book recommendations are all I need to know if I want to read a book or not (concision + enthusiasum + curiosity = exactly what I need) And I just looked at a couple of the British Library ones, and wow, they all look FANTASTIC. Plu,s the covers are very pretty, and that means I'm just going to have to buy all of them. Thank you.

@aftonphilbrick9473 4 года назад

Hi Leena! Thanks so much for all the great book recommendations. I love hearing about new books that I've never encountered before. I get so excited. I know in this video you briefly mentioned the power of pre-ordering to support authors and publishers. I would love it if you could make a video explaining this further and also just what are the best ways to support specific authors, like where should you buy their books from which is something i often find a bit confusing. This is a topic I have recently become more interested in as my eyes have been opened to how small my perspective of the world is because I haven't been exposed to diverse voices, namely those of any group marginalized because of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, and so on. I would love to learn the best ways to support any authors in these groups creating works and I know you would have some great insight on this. Thanks for everything you make for us Leena! You truly make my day brighter when I watch your videos.

@pia2902 4 года назад

First, as you stress the beautiful background I want to point out that your ususal backdrop of red armchair + bookshelf is equally aesthetically pleasing. Second, I loved Beth O'Leary' "The Switch" (as well as "The Flatshare"). It was the perfect escapism for this time (Though I would probably loved it as much at any given time.) and I devoured it within 24 hours. The only downside is that it wasn't longer. I cannot wait for her next novel. Third, thank you for all the brilliant recommendations. Your enthusiam sold all the books to me. Now, I need to figure out which books I want to get most urgently. Though, I probably should finish the pile of books I've aleady have first.

Thank you leena for working magic and bringing me to buy the book after watching its adaption, its a first.
