@gotosleep2876 hello again, yes i’m so excited to read more from her. 💞

I’m reading the bluest eye by Toni Morrison. I’ve reread this book like 3x. It helps me get back into reading. Next on my list is a little life by hanya yanagihara

@blythedollluvrxo hello :) I need to read more Toni Morrison! that’s so good that you have a comfort read, I wish I reread more books! please please please be careful with a little life 😭

great selection of books and love the commentary - never heard Piranesi recommended by an architect before and i'm even more keen to pick it up now =) i didn't get on with the Hour of the Star but i did like some of her short stories. would love to hear more of your opinions bout her writing ✨

I adore when people pick up the book copy and show it to us, not just its picture. Love your insights and your calming voice.

You're wonderful! Keep making theses videos. I read 1Q84 about five years ago now, so it might perhaps be time to read it again !

@kailienatsu I just want to read them all, and watching your vids and nathan's is feeding my obsession. I also want to read Orlando this coming May because I know it's your favourite book. Booktube is so fun 😆

I'm also reading the hour of the star this month! Also, the secret history and funny weather: art in emergency by olivia laing. I dont want to put much more on my list, i'm still getting back into reading more regularly.

Your QnA video questions from me :) 1. Introduce yourself 2. Where do you live? 3. How old are you? 4. When did you start reading? 5. What is your favourite book? 6. Which book got you into reading? 7. Coffee or Tea or Water Person? 8. What else are you passionate about?

Great video! The only book that I've read from your TBR is "Piranesi," which I really enjoyed. I've been wanting to read "1Q84" and "The Hearing Trumpet" for a while now. My question for you is, "What is the greatest piece of advice that you have received?" Hope you have a great month of reading! 😎📚👍

@mildrumpus hello, thank you come join us in the book club! and let me know if you want to buddy read the hearing trumpet 💚

I'm glad you're enjoying Clarice. She writes very good stuff. Im on a break from Murakami after reading Kafka on the shore and not liking it very much...but his writing was cool, I have a copy of Nowergian wood and After dark which I want to read next. Excited to hear your next thoughts about 1q84

@emmamoon7756 i’m so glad you’re there 😸

do you have a favorite book of each genre

I've been hesitant to dive into Murakami's works after hearing a friend's critique about how he portrays women. It's disheartening to have books gathering dust on my shelf, waiting for the right moment. On another note, I have a couple of questions 1) What recommendations would you give to someone who's not a big reader or new to reading? 2) If money wasn't an issue, where would you want to live, and what would you want to do?

@SayantikaSarkar007 hello lovely questions i’ll make sure to answer them on my vid 💌 Also feeling hesitant with Murakami is absolutely valid but I always say try reading it and forming your own thoughts on him if it works it works if not then it’s okay haha

i'm reading piranesi too for april! twinsies ❤

my april tbr consists of 1q84 (because of the book club 🤭), resurrection by tolstoy for uni and sula by toni morrison because that’s shawn mccomb’s book club pick for april :)) very book clubby and long-book focused tbr, but i’ll probably read other stuff as well in the end because of my poor self-discipline and mood reading habits 😂
