Honestly, Olive's videos are such a gem. Like where would someone like me get to know about such amazing books which are way underrated and overshadowed in mainstream book community. So thankful to each and everyone of her recommendations.

Oooh! You should do a book vs movie video on Cinderella Man! You know, when you have the time. No rush. 😘

Yes, the movie was great!

Every single Sunday morning I wake up and turn to KZread for two reasons: To watch the CBS Sunday Morning News, and to watch Olive's book reviews. Last week I ran out and bought "Seinfeldia" on Olive's recommendation. Before I ever thought about being a writer, I was a passionate reader. So I can barely wait the seven days to see her funny, insightful reviews on my screen. And thanks for enjoying my books, Olive. I'll 'see you' next Sunday. -- Jack

I absolutely LOVE penguins!

I also recently learned about Alexander Graham Bell and the harm we did to the deaf community. Very interested in the Christmas Carol one, as I think a movie just came out last year with that same title.

So many interesting books!! The Trip to Echo Spring is amazing!

Will be adding shelf life, winterlust and bohemians, bootleggers to my tbr!

I always get really great book ideas from you especially books that I've never heard of.

The Children’s Blizzard is really good. These all sound good. I don’t usually read a lot of non-fiction. I think that should be a goal for me in the coming year. Blessings.

I loved Sour Grapes so much!! 🍇💸

Great quantity and quality Olive, thank you!

Thank you. Your videos are a joy.

"The Children's Blizzard" is an excellent book. I mean, horrifying, but really well written. I love that you had a section of books on winter animals. Definitely interested in the reindeer one.

Beautiful Olive 🫒 that thumbnail 😍

I think I'm most excited about the sewing history one, and 'The Children's Blizzard' - which might be the same blizzard as that of 'The Long Winter' by Laura Ingalls Wilder?

I love books about animals and I haven't read enough. I started getting some great recommendations from your channel and I'll make a list for the new year. Now, the nonfiction book I read about animals is a book I had bought long time ago and for some reason I got distracted by other books and never got to it. I'm trying to read and reread my room "library" along with any new books I'm getting, so here is #1. The Bird Way: A New Look at How Birds Talk, Work, Play, Parent, and Think by Jennifer Ackerman. I'm not too far along yet, but I find some of the information I didn't now about birds, which I love, and I enjoy it. #2. Girl in a Green Gown: The History and Mystery of the Arnolfini Portrait by Carola Hicks (almost done with this book). Another nonfiction about animals that I have on my bookshelves for well over a couple years and I plan to read starting New Year is Voices in the Ocean: A Journey into the Wild and Haunting World of Dolphins by Susan Casey. I don't even remember how or where I got this book, but I love Dolphins. I think a friend who doesn't read happen to have it and gave it to me.

I’m so glad I found your channel! I, also, live in Pittsburgh!!!

I saw Winterlust at a bookstore a few years ago and havent stopped thinking about how beautiful it is. I must get my hands on a copy. So many of these books sound up my alley. Looking forward to all your 2023 reviews!

Oh Olive I just added 3-4 more new ones and ordered from Amazon!! Arghhhhh I wonder if my husband will build on a second library for me ?? Happy Holidays my friend from your resident Lurker !

Great book haul plus love your winter eye makeup

LOVE your shirt!!!!

So many great wintry books. The Man Who Invented Christmas sounds perfect for a seasonal read. 😊💙

I read The Children’s Blizzard. Couldn’t put it down.

I read “SHOCKED” when it first came out and enjoyed it. There is a new illustrated coffee table style book that just came out “Shocking: The Surreal World of Elsa Schiaparelli.” Another excellent book on the child/parent dynamic is “Lies My Mother Never Told Me” by Kaylie Jones, the daughter of author James Jones.”Cinderella Man” was also an excellent movie with Russell Crowe & Renee Zellweger.

I might have to pick-up The Colony too

Thanks again, Olive for a great video! I enjoy your NF recommendations as I don’t read a lot of it. I do have a goshawk book you may be interested in. It’s called Goshawk Summer by James Aldred. It was short-listed for (or won?) the Wainwright Prize for nature writing in the UK 2022.

I LOVED Collision of Wills by Jack Gilden! It's a fast-paced, cinematic story - perfect for football season!

Hi Olive! In Vino, I believe was also featured on the tv show The Con. Also, Cinderella Man the movie is fantastic w Russell Crowe - Have you seen it? I have favorited many of the others, great video - Happy Holidays!

Many thanks for yet another fantastic video. Have you ever read The Living Mountain by Nan Shepherd? The Folio Society publish a beautiful edition of this wonderful book. Nan Shepherd was a Scottish writer, nature lover and mountain climber 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I just bought the children’s winter. I look forward to your review. I may not get to mine for a while.

The Man Who Invented Christmas was adapted into a 2017 movie starring Dan Stevens.

Cinderella Man is so good. I read it around when the movie came out.

7:05 A homesteader in Alaska? Homesteads are already hard to maintain in places with moderate weather. I can’t imagine how hard it would be to maintain one in Alaska.

Ooo, Zuleikha sounds like my kind of read as well! You are too sweet for the shoutout. When I saw that book, I just thought - Olive needs it in her life, ha! 🦉I love all these wintery-themed reads.

I really liked "The Family" by David Laskin

The Lost Spells is gorgeous - writing and art!

Have you heard about These Violet Delights by Micah Nemerever? It's sort of dark academia-adjacent thriller set in Pittsburgh in the 1970s. I really loved it, and I know you like local reads AND campus novels, so it might be something you'd like!

I picked up the History of the Snowman a few years back. I'm interested to hear your review.

Cinderella Man was made into a 2005 movie of the same name starring Russell Crowe. Wonderful movie.

I have not read any of David Halberstam’s sports books, but he is the author of one of my favorite nonfiction books: _The Fifties,_ which explores the decade in which I was born. Have you read it?

You so kind nicest friend 💛

Thank you for listing all of these books, I'm really interested in Shelf Life and the subversive stitch, I will also be adding the nature books, I haven't read a nature book in ages :)

Shelf Life was the very fist book I read in 2022. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Are you planning to read The Children's Blizzard soon? I look forward to hearing about it, if so. There's actually a mural in the Nebraska state capitol building that commemorates a teacher who rescued her schoolkids from the snow.

Greetings👍👍 to all book lovers, Moroccan past from here🏃🏃🏃

Thank you so much for listing the books with links. I can only imagine it being a lot of work. (So few do it.). I was able to sit back and relax while watching. FYI: 2023 is a no buy year for me with one exception (Independent writer: Margaret Pinard.). I'm also doing away from mainstream fiction with all the swearing and now higher use of female genitalia. I've had enough.) I've enjoyed your channel, love NF and memoirs, and you do most of the weeding. I'm off to a great start I found Zuleikha at Hoopla and Scrib. I'm going to search for the two basketball players next. Happy Reading and much success.

Can you update us after you read Shelf Life?? If you say it is great, I will definitely buy it.

Hi, you are so inspiring 💗 how can you read so fast? I, as a not native English speaker, reads slowly but I love books and I tried some of your recommendations and I absolutely love them😍
