I truly love the way you talk about this books.You have such a unique character

omg that is so kind of you, thank you sm !!

@TinRaTin 16 дней назад

Before the coffee gets cold is one of the most boring, see through and repetitive books in recent memory. If minus 3 stars was an option...

@katerinareem 16 дней назад

lmaooo fair enough, I read it on holiday years ago so maybe I need to re-read and see if I still feel the same

@samspam1788 16 дней назад

Agree !!!

@pompokkko 13 дней назад

This series is much needed. And i hope you do more of this. I learned my lesson a year ago when I bought Breast and Eggs and has been having a hard time finishing it. I'm almost 80% complete but im not sure if I'm able to complete it this year, especially if i have other many TBRs

@katerinareem 13 дней назад

thank you sm !! and aw i'm so gutted to hear that as I really loved breasts and eggs - can I ask why you're not enjoying it?

@MalenaVaranini 16 дней назад

I HATED normal people.. and it was worse 'cause i actually really enjoyed conversations with friends.. but this book was unbearable

@katerinareem 16 дней назад

so glad that you agree! can't believe that's the most popular book of hers

@cindyfreese254 16 дней назад

I adored Never Let Me Go! This book sat on my bookshelf for the longest time and finally read it. So beautiful but sad 😢

@katerinareem 16 дней назад

I agree !!

@phantomthread4385 14 дней назад

You should also read Klara Under the Sun. It's an eye opener and so sad.

@katerinareem 13 дней назад

@@phantomthread4385 I agree that this book is also so beautiful!

@sarash8002 16 дней назад

I also liked the Normal People show better than the book. I think the story didn't do well in book format, but the show's actors really made it shine.

@katerinareem 16 дней назад

completely agree, daisy edgar jones and paul mescal really made that show good!

@soundslikeknee 15 дней назад

Great video now I'm curious to know your favourite book adaptations and what made them great

@katerinareem 13 дней назад

oooo future video idea! I've seen a lot of movie/tv adaptations that I think do the books well, so I'd be more than happy to chat about this

@samspam1788 16 дней назад

I agree with you about bunny and daisy jones... very average books. I hated before the coffee gets cold though, I gave it 0.25 stars, I found it sooo horribly written and misogynistic!!

@katerinareem 15 дней назад

interesting !! i'm seeing a few people dislike BTCGC - I wonder if I need to re-read it and see if I still like it as I read it years ago on holiday...

@marianneh4843 16 дней назад

I hated cleopatra and frankenstein so much lolllll

@katerinareem 16 дней назад

really !! I'm v intrigued by this - can I ask why?

@itsjoyandrea 16 дней назад

Normal People gets the first spot for my most unenjoyable and hated book i ever read. I too cant stand the miscommunication trope and dont understand how some call this book a masterpiece. Love the video! 💕😁

@TinRaTin 16 дней назад

God bless you for putting my feelings in print ❤

@katerinareem 16 дней назад

so glad to hear you feel the same! everyone seems to praise it and I'm like, am I missing something ??

@michellecgb 16 дней назад

I hated Normal People 😂 didn’t get the hype at all. I hated the characters, hated the miscommunication, hated their toxic romance. I did like the show a bit better tho

@katerinareem 16 дней назад

so glad you also feel the same !! I wanted to like it so badly but I just couldn't connect with it

@angelmoreno5783 13 дней назад

Rating Bunny 2.5 stars is a crime

@katerinareem 13 дней назад

I just expected more 😭

@charlenesnotes 15 дней назад

I’m not a fan of Sally Rooney’s writing, but I did love the tv adaptation of normal people and conversations with friends

@katerinareem 13 дней назад

I still haven't got round to watching the tv show of conversations with friends - is it worth it?

@charlenesnotes 13 дней назад

@@katerinareem I think watching normal people made me feel more emotion towards the main characters more than it did in the book. And conversations with friends also had the effect. I do think though that conversations with friends was more enjoyable to read than normal people. The director did a good job at making the audience see how human the characters are. But yes! Worth it, can be a bit slow at times though.
