The 18 Books I Read in June 

Oh my god?? HEATHER CLEARY IS MY COLLEGE SPANISH TEACHER!!!

i like that you always put a list of books mentioned bc its easy to look back at when i forget a title i saw you mention in a video and i want to look it up ☺️

I'm so intrigued to know if the Blue Book of Nebo would be as emotional for me if I don't have any kids. I'm considering picking it up just to see.

“What is this? This is nothing?” lol yeah that cover doesn’t do much

I always love looking at the stats lolll so thank you for sharing!

Finished Big Swiss this morning and that’s literally how I would describe it, it was just fine🤷🏼‍♀️ The Blue book of Nebo has been added to my TBR😌

I just finished The Haar TODAY (1 hour ago). I got it because of you and it was EXCELLENT ❤

Thank you so much for taking the tie to look up the pronunciation of a name you're not familiar with and including that clip in your video so thoughtful and I loved it

I love that you loved The Blue Book of Nebo - i read it in its original Welsh and loved it too. Siân

18 books is more than ny yearly reading goal and im lagging behind on it 💀💀

I´m so fully with you on Tidal Creatures and The Alchemical Journey´s series. I almost feel like I´m gaslighting myself into believing I love this series, because of how deeply I loved Middlegame, but if I´m completely honest, the campy vibe of the second and third book just don´t work for me. Everytime it calls back to Middlegame I *want* to be happy to see my favourite characters back, but it only ends up as a disappointing reminder of the later books don't live up.

If you liked the book of nebo I really wonder if you would like the leftovers by Tom Perrotta! It's one of my favorite shows of all time and I'm currently halfway through the book and I'm loving it just as much. It's one of those sci-fi dystopian books that focuses a lot on grief and the impact it has on the characters and their lives and some of it is left unexplained. I feel like for fans of I who have never known men or station eleven or the OA would really like it. I'm definitely going to check out the book of nebo!

I love the format of your wrap ups. I'd watch them anyway, but I love the prompt route!

I love Elif Shafak and that book, so glad you enjoyed 10 Minutes :)

interesting to hear about tidal creatures! i read middlegame last year based on your recommendation and loved it, so good to know a bit more about the series before going into seasonal fears :)

Loved this video and all your vlogs from this month! 🫶

I’ve only read two stories but I recently won an Arc from GoodReads and man is it weird and totally think it’s up your alley. Mystery Lights by Lena Valencia

okay so I started reading Emily Austin because of you and I LOVE her books especially her new release this year, so I must now read Greta & Valdin

Thank you so much I have picked up loads of books because of you and I have enjoyed most of them

have you organized by what would be the best movie? I just read Floating Hotel and I think it would be such a great movie/show have you done books organized by your dream life? like the ones you would love to be your life to the ones you would least like… more mundane - by price? I’ve been shocked by some new book prices lately 😅

I’ve had never saw me coming on my TBR forever now

I'm *so* curious about The Book of Nebo

The Harr is giving shape of water vibes (which I haven't seen)

I’ve been so curious about Greta and Valdin 👀 and even more now because I loved Big Swiss lol

I have had the same experience with Middlegame and Seasonal Fears, still going to try the third one but I miss that feeling I had when I read the first one and got to know Rodger and Dodger

I finished Greta & Valdin yesterday! I guess I'll see how I feel in a few weeks, but I found it to be a very tender and charming book. It won't change anyone's life and it mostly made me feel happy. Unfortunately, the books that tend to stick with me are the ones that are the most shocking or emotionally devastating and this certainly did not do that. I gave it 4.5, but I can see it going down to 4.

I read greta and valdin in may.. It's true this book made me laugh and also I like the cover. there is nothing much in this book except a bunch of people in family having issues with different kind of things but I love the sibling dynamics. I had a good time with that book.

Greta and Valdin sounds interesting. I think I'll check it out.

The way I clicked IMMEDIATELY!

I also loved 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World

That pink Pink Floyd shirt is AMAZING! Do you (or anyone) know where I can find it? My well-loved Dark Side of the Moon shirt that I got at a thrift store in the late 90s is disintegrating and I can't stop wearing it. I haven't read The Employees yet but the other cover with the black ink dripping down from the water container is striking -- curious if that one is more/less accurate.

For the next wrap up, give each book a tagline.

So happy to see Greta & Valdin being rated so well around the world, Go NEW ZEALAND authors.

Oh my I'm so early!!

Greta & Valdin sounds like a book I would really like, but I did NOT like Everyone In This Room and Big Swiss, so thank you for saving my time. 😅

🎉

It is so rare that I read a book before you - let alone 6! Go me! Glad you liked the employees! If you are interested in another weird danish book you might like to check out the newly translated 11% by Maren Uthaug: a utopian/dystopian where women have taken power. Only 11% of the population is men, and these few men are kept in re-procreation centers.

Recomendarias la Biblia?

I feel the Haar is false advertising… It’s kinda a love/romance story as well?? 😮

Por que no puede el hombre traer un mundo mejor?

Please do some dedicated vlogs to translated fiction, you really seem to be thriving in that genre 💜

i'm so early hii

I am a die hard Seanan Mcguire fan, and I honestly didn't love Middlegame. Seasonal Fears and Tidal Creatures though, I loved dearly. Also the alchemical journeys is going to be five books!
