I can’t believe 2022 is already over- I’ve been following you since summer 2021 and you’re the person that inspired and helped me regarding my annotations & reading journey in general.

Everything about your videos is breathtaking, I’m so glad I discovered your channel and I’m hoping to watch your videos for many many more years! Thank you

Merry christmas y'all

YES to Book Lovers!! You have immaculate taste 😭💙

💯 beautiful as always bella💗 I love to hear to about books so much. You description of plot, characters, your emotions and thoughts I always find it so smart, witty and beautiful. 💗💗💗 Kinda jealous not gonna lie😂😉

This year I mostly reread books I've enjoyed in the past (like the folk of the air, aftg, the lockwood&co series and the raven cycle) because I needed the serotonin boost they were sure to give me, but one new read I fell in love with was Dark Rise by C.S. Pacat, master of slow burn, that left me with the MOST ILLEGAL cliffhanger waiting for the sequel

Normal people is one of my favourite reads, and THAT ENDING! I am proudly looking at my edition of The Starless sea on my book case waiting to be read, the end papers are beautiful so glad I got the hard back. Absolutely loved your list xx

You’re seriously pretty. You have a very nice natural glow Also, I really like your editing! My top faves this last year were: What The Wind Knows by Amy Harmon Nightingale by Kristin Hannah The Paper Palace by Miranda Crowley heller To the Wedding by John Berger (this book is a fave fave fave!)

¡Hola Isabella! 1. ¡Feliz navidad! 🎄 La verdad es que me alegra bastante que después de algunos años volviera a encontrar tu canal, eres de las pocas personas que disfruto ver hablar de libros, incluso aunque a veces no comparta la misma opinión. Te deseo mucha felicidad y que el próximo año podamos estar aquí nuevamente. 🦋 2. Honestamente creo que este es uno de los vídeos donde más hermosa te ves, no me dejabas concentrar. 😩 3. Es genial ver que pudiste encontrar tantos libros de los que disfrutaste, yo por el contrario de los 96 que he leído hasta la fecha he batallado para sacar solamente algunos. • If We Were Villains. • A Far Wilder Magic. • The Hating Game. Definitivamente mi meta para el 2023 es ser más selectiva con las cosas que leo y así poder disfrutar más de mis lecturas, buscar más calidad que cantidad. También releí La Sombra del Viento de Carlos Ruíz Zafón, es de mis libros favoritos de toda la vida, también va de libros e historias como The Starless Sea. Te lo recomiendo bastante y espero lo puedas leer (si no lo haz leído). También me arrepiento de que tengo The Starless Sea desde agosto y no lo he leído, al igual que Babel pero ya los leeré en 2023. Espero que me gusten tanto como a ti. 💯

I’m so envious of the fact that u can rank your top books omg when I *struggle* my girl… also the fact that quite a few of those books are still on my shelf/ tbr……… readings bellas faves readathon??????? Edit: LUKOV WAS IN MARCH?!?!?!??!? But yes queen Mariana belongs on that list (yes, kulti too) Btw I was just waiting for book lovers to be mentioned like… where TF is it? Didn’t expect it to be this high up girly !!!!! But same!!!! (Glitch being their song is so so so so so so valid and right?) Alone with you??????? 😭 why did u remind me this book exists…. Time to go back to my depression cave I also read that shortly after you left so it hit so hard? just no

I CANT BELIEVE I’M THIS EARLY TO A VIDEO ILYYYYSMMMMMM❤️❤️❤️💗

I also read from lukov with love this year and Listening how you loved it made me want to read it again next year

omg okay the one book that reminds me of you every time i look at it is better than the movies!! if that isn't on the list idk where i've been lol. thanks for another video bella!!! ❤️

❄️I absolutely loved the video and you made me want to read babel!❄️

💯 My top 10 stories (since there is a visual novel in here): 1. Umineko no Naku Koro ni by Ryukishi07 (there is 8 episodes/books and I can't pick one as my fav so all of them lol /cheatingBTW) 2. The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss 3. Not Even Bones by Rebecca Schaeffer 4. Unwind by Neal Shusterman 5. Piranesi by Susanna Clarke 6. The Children of Húrin by J.R.R. Tolkien 7. A Magic Steeped in Poison by Judy I. Lin 8. The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde 9. The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris 10. Pandora Hearts Vol. 14 by Jun Mochizuki I only predicted 3 on your list. I had a feeling Babel, Normal People, and Chain of Iron would be on there somewhere but the rest I was super surprised about!! Watching your adventure through the year of reading was so fun and made me get back into reading more! I can't wait for another year of your content! Happy Holidays!

Book Lovers and Babel are my top two!!

Go Babel as a Christmas present from my hubby and immediately started reading it. Gonna savour it. 💯

Top 3 books of the year 1. The Unbroken 2. shadow of the bat 3. Where the drowned girls go. I've been trying to get back into reading- hence the amount of short but gripping books- its just been better for healing my relationship with reading. it's a lot bette rnow and im getting back into the swing of things. trying to work my way up to priory! I used to think 800 page books were short, but now im just proud of myself for being able to read 450 page books. it's weird how that works. Still I adore the unbroken very much and I appreciated Shadow of the bat- both of them recognised something inside of me.

some of my top books of 2022: 1) the starless sea by erin morgenstern 2) aristotle & dante dive into the waters of the world 3) legendborn 4) the night circus 5) the gilded wolves 6) the midnight library clearly i read a lot of fantasy haha 🙃

your hairstyle is so beautiful

I just got back into reading and love that I found your channel! A fellow Dominicana ❤️

i'm only 20 seconds into the video but i'm so excited!!! got notion open and ready for all the top tier book recs :bitelip: also HELLO you are so cute!!!

she's a 10 no but she's 💯 read the lovelight farm series this month and it totally came as a surprise Loved all the 3 books so much

i also finished demon slayer this year and i was SOBBING so much while reading it😭😭😭 it was so good everything abt it was just amazing💔

I wish I had read 10 books this year. I only read 4 novels and 3 manga volumes this year so a slow reading year for me this year. I’m wanting to read intentionally now but i also want to make sure I read every day cos there were definitely days where I didn’t read books and was just reading fanfics/webtoon comics and watching RU-vid videos instead 😅 hopefully if I can get out of these habits and read more novels/manga volumes I should have a higher number of books by the end of next year. Let’s hope so anyway 🤞😅

I have no clue what my favourite book this year is, but I’ve been really enjoying reading Atonement By Ian McEwan for my English literature studies- I’m obsessed. Can't wait to watch the film too 💯

Babel is there for sure ❤love u

🍂we say thank you to every single one of these ten books 🙌 🍂no because Bella talking about books she loves>>> 🍂unfortunately I didn’t find books that go up to my all-time favorites list in 2022 (except maybe Frankenstein), BUT i read some great ones nonetheless 😇 💯

💯% so excited to read Babel next year! Should it be my first book of 2023?

💯 merry christmas 🎄❤ omg bella, if I told you that I haven't read any of these books, would you believe me? but next year I'll solve that hahaha I'm really looking forward to reading babel!!!

Alone with you in the ether is my favourite book
