This was a great concept and I appreciated your candor while looking back at your reading evolution as well as your memories around your readings; it's inspiring and I hope that other BookTubers will follow suit (I've seen maybe one other BookTuber do something similar to this?). It's also something that I will need to try out for myself.☕📚

I love the editing! Having you and goodreads in different web browsers is so cool!

I just finished Next Year in Havana and HOLY GOODNESS. BEST BOOK EVER.

I love this video! Makes me want to see how my reading tastes have evolved over the years.

😂Something similar happened to me in 2015, we read a lot of the same books 📚 reading whatever people recommended without giving it much thought..

I loved watching this! It's so cool to see the visual representation of how you evolved as a reader. It's also interesting for me to see when you read the books I see you recommending often now, and the ones I picked up because you talked about them so much - The Shadow of the Wind. & Evelyn Hugo.

Every week I'm looking forward to your video, I love them! I've been thinking about the evolution of my reading too this year and now I cannot wait to see how your reading journey has developed. Love the jacket btw Seeing all your previous reading challenges brings back so many memories! Nearly all of the books seen are some I have read/ heard about through GoodReads or Booktube. The nostalgia is real.

I am so happy you have found your reading taste! ☺️I feel like I have been on a similar journey and last year was actually one of my best reading years ever because I broadened my reading horizons. Your underrated recommendations have really helped me discover books I treasure so thank you! 😊

I loved watching this and hearing your stories about the books that impacted you so so much!

That makes me so happy 😊

Very fun analysis! I'm glad you found your niche.

Analyzing the trend of your reads is a good idea! I only recently started using goodreads to keep track of my yearly reads, but I do find that the older I've gotten, the better I am able to field which books I'd enjoy vs the ones I wouldn't. I'm very fond of almost every book I read in 2021 (only 20, but a big accomplishment for me!). My favorites were the mysteries, sci-fis, and fantasies, stories with either a puzzle to solve or vast worldbuilding that makes me imagine the possibilities of said world. (PS love of the colors of the blazer!)

This was such a fun video! Also I love your overlays, they’re so cute!

Evelyn Hugo is everything ❤️

Favorite Book Of All Time? Next Year in Havana is a B.O.A.T.--Yay! Can't wait to read Last Train to Cuba this year... 🤩

Loved this analysis! Really want to go back and look at my own challenges now. Been on GR since 2014, so feel like I will learn a lot about how I have changed as a reader too!

Yes! It’s also fun to think of the memories attached to certain books as you go through each challenge

Such an interesting video! It is a shame when a reading year is not as good enjoyment wise than the others before. I hope you find new favorites in 2022! I too have started with YA books alongside classics (when I started reading in english, which is not my first language), and have evolved to adult fiction. I feel like I know better what I enjoy but at the same time I'm having a harder time finding new favorites. But there has been at least a new favourite of all time every year so I'm not going to complain.

This was very interesting to watch 🥰🥰

Hi Olivia! New subs here and I LOVE YOUR 2020 reading especially! I spot If I Had your face and get a life Chloe (which was one of my fav reads of 2020) and it’s so nice that you discovered translated fictions and African books too (I spot Transcendent kingdom!)

The invisible life of Addie LaRue - that is one of the best. Didn’t see you mention that. Please read it if you haven’t. 😊

that blazer is giving off real Cool Lit Professor vibes 🔥 this was such an interesting video to watch! also, I really relate to using romance to de-stress. I started uni last fall and only books my lowkey overwhelmed brain could cope with were romance, so ✌🏼

oh i love this idea!! i feel like in just the past year alone, I've noticed how much my reading taste have changed. i think if i revisited certain books i read in 2014-2019 again, my ratings would be much different.

I absolutely agree!

I enjoyed your analysis of your reading styles as they changed over the years. As a high school teacher, I still read YA so I am able to share the books with my students. I enjoy YA but if I didn't teach high school, I wouldn't read it. My favorite genres are historical fiction and mystery. I found my favorite book of all time while in my 50s, so you are right. You can be any age and find your favorite book.

I did this lately at the beginning of 2022 and I think I've almost found my taste too.

I loved going on this journey with you! I'm so happy you got to know yourself and your reading taste more and more throughout the years! Here's to hoping 2022 is your best reading year yet 🤍✨

Used to read a lot of novels of a variety of genres but mostly standalones/series but with individual plots mostly self contained, really enjoyed dabbling into classic literature and classic plays. I used to occasionally read comics/graphic novels. Now I almost exclusively read comics & graphic novels along with the occasional novel from authors I already know about. I’m a lot less likely to try a new novelist out of nowhere. I also pick up the occasional non fiction and movie art of book.
