You should do a video on your favorite authors and your favorite books for those authors

The Thursday Murder club and its sequel are brilliant! I can't wait for the third book to be published. Richard Osman is a genius.

I have no issue with book hauls but I think it would be nice to see how many books you actually get to read from this 30+ book haul. This year I’m trying to unhaul books I don’t get to before buying more books. It is a struggle 😩

I ADORE Cloud Cuckoo Land!! Just know that it takes a hot minute to really understand how everything connects. It's a slow mover but so so worth it. I wanted to hug the book at least 50 times while reading it.

It’s really nice to see you’re enjoying more classics. I recommend you Rebecca. It’s probably my favorite book. I think you’ll like the aesthetic. But just so you know, if you ever want to read Rebecca, the first few pages can be kind of boring. DO NOT GIVE UP. The ending is really good.

I remember crying at the end of the Travelling Cat Chronicles. Take care of your heart

OH!! I’m just finishing Cloud Cuckoo Land today. It’s absolutely wonderful and, I was surprised by this, a fast and compelling read. It’s enthralling and I can’t wait to hear what you think.

Girl I saw the midnight library and I just wanna scream through the screen how much I loved this book ! It’s amazing ! Honestly I’m a new reader and it was such a nice easy fast paced read with such deep meaning . So great I’m sure u will love it too ! Love ur videos ! 🥰😘

I really enjoyed All Of Us Villains- definitely Hunger Games vibes, but the ending was a bit rushed. Gallant was a mix between the writing of Addie and City Of Ghosts

Piranesi is amazing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

All the light we cannot see is also one of my fav books of all time so I’m also quite excited for cloud cuckoo land ( I read 80 pages of it and I was really loving it but I put it down cause mood reading lol ) As far as poetry goes one of my fav poets is Emilia Pesqueira ( she has 2 books I think but I usually listen to her read her poems on IG ) and I think since you are getting into poetry you’ll quite enjoy her work ( I’ve read and quite enjoyed her book “rómpeme en caso de emergencias” ) ❤️
