My Top 5 Most Influential Books 📖 

Harry Potter is my entire childhood. I love the series so much!

totoro pin 😍 and yesssss harry potter is not something can be described in words. this made me want to reread the whole series again!

Aww you're so emotional it's so sweet. 💕 Harry Potter is the first book that I read, it means so much to me and I reread the series many times like you lol! I also really love Jane Eyre it's very special book for me. Now I think I want to read The Magic Toyshop, it is going to my list, thank you so much for recommendations! It's so hard to count my 5 favorite books! 😭 We read so much poems and novels and plays for class (I am literature student at university) and God, I like most of them! I love your videos and don't worry about uploads, good luck with your university work and teaching~ 😊

I found soooo beautiful the way you talk about your fave books

Oh my gosh I was so moved hearing you talk about Hermione! I had the exact same experience at secondary school and she is was such a friend and role model for me too. I recently found your channel and I absolutely adore it!

Don't worry. Harry Potter will probably be a "classical" book for the people in the future ( I think it's already) =) I have probably mentioned it already but your vlogs are always so compfy

As a kid I started reading Michael Morpurgo from a really young age, I remember Alone on a Wide Wide Sea becoming my first favourite novel. It was the thickest book I had read at around age 8 and I adored it. During class at the time we studied Holes by Louis Sachar, I finished it before anyone else and then read the sequel within the same few weeks. Soon I found I adored gothic literature and literature during the 1800s in general, I started reading Proust, I read Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde which ended up really influencing my love for gothic literature. I then one day, whilst looking for another copy of Proust's In Search of Lost Time series found a book that had been put back in the wrong place, the title struck me as it was "The Well of Loneliness", I picked it up and read the blurb and stood there dumbfounded for a while as it was like the book had literally written my current situation at that time on the back. I bought it and read it and it became my favourite book of all time, Radclyffe Hall was not only incredibly important for publishing one of the first full lesbian novels, but it was based on her own life, and plus publishing a book as a woman was so hard in itself, let alone someone like her. It shaped me entirely, I want to read it all again one day. The ending became so deep and I could tell that it was the writers words and not the words of the character portraying her anymore. Highly recommend it! Sorry I wrote a lot but I love your videos and hearing which books influenced you was so lovely. I recently finished my first Bronte novel, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, which became one of my top five books for sure. If not my second favourite actually, every night I would stay up until 2am because I couldn't put it down. Currently I am reading Hardy's Tess of the D'urbervilles and it's a bit different to what I am used to but very very good so far!

Christy, I can relate SO much to your Harry Potter story! I often felt out of place in my early years of High School and could see a lot of myself in Hermione. Unfortunately I don't write as much as I want to... I feel like I have to stop being a perfectionist. ._. Another book I love is The Great Gatsby! Have you read that one too? Loved the video

Hi I just wanted to say that that I really love the way you edit your videos (they are so calming) plus as a fellow bookworm I really loved this particular video 😄😄

Some books I read, orders I have not read yet, I have to read it! Thank you✨Have a wonderful weekend💥

I loooove your Always tattoo so much! I actually have a Lumos tattoo on my ribs! Harry Potter is also my all time favourite book series! It had such a big impact on my life. Unfortunately I didn't really enjoy The Magic Toyshop when I read it. I do absolutely love the edition that you have! Amazing video! x

The books that made me realize I had to study literature and that books were going to be a very important part of my life were the books of the brazilian writer Clarice Lispector, espeacially "Family Ties". If you like Virginia Woolf I highly recomend her novels and short stories. I also love magical realism, "One hundred years of solitude" just blowed my mind! Virginia Woolf writings always amaze me by their elaborate construction. I love your videos! Hope you come back soon! 😊

I had a similar experience with Potter, Prufrock, and Woolf! I would add Judy Blume before Potter and Paul Jennings. I really love Virginia Woolf. To The Lighthouse is my best. I also really love George Eliot, I feel like she is somewhat of a stylistic and intellectual predecessor to Woolf. I could cry thinking about Woolf. I wrote a very enlightening essay, for myself, on Mill on the Floss and I think this literary criticism nut really opened up for me. Thinking back about the essay and Maggie Tulliver could also make me shed a tear ha. I think I’m coming to really love Hardy too. Lovely video 💕

Thanks! More for my reading list:) My favorite author are Jules Verne

You really caught me 😍

Thank you for sharing. I put a few of them on my wish list. Two of the most influential books to me (when I was a child) were Black Beauty and Charlotte's Web. Oh, and when I was just learning to read it would have been Jenny and the Cat Club. This is an old, old book and I am very thankful to have a copy of it.

In search of lost time by Proust is the most influential book experience to me. I enjoyed so much reading it for about a year and it was really sad when I reached the final chapter. 👍🏼

Do u personalise the books you read...like do u highlight, and take notes???

Oh, and my most influential book is called EL MUNDO AZUL, AMA TU CAOS (The blue world. Love your chaos). it's from a spanish author, and I'm not so sure if it's already translated into english, but just as you with HP, I got a tattoo because of this novel.

This is the first video I watched in your channel. You’re so sweet and I love your accent (where are you from? - I’m from Brazil). Keep going with your great work here on RU-vid 💛

The Little Prince is the first book i bought with my own money when i was little, i loved it and it was the beggining of my little library. I was swept by pride and prejudice next. But the books that change me a little bit were the ones i found in uni: anais nin diaries and all banana yoshimoto. I spent the 4 years of uni re reading those. Some quote, some actions about the protagonists were helpfull (like i was talking with the books hehe)

Harry Potter is so Important for me too. My entire childhood is inside that magical world 😭

You should link your books so people can purchase through your link. It helps you to earn more money.

I have actually never read the Harry Potter series. I listened to the audibooks over the course of a few months and I remember my fellow 10-year-olds accusing me of "cheating". To this day the only HP book I've actually read is Prisoner of Azkaban (however I've read it in two languages) but I've listened to the whole series so. Many. Times.

Hmmmm great

I love harry potter

After all this time Christy? Always...
