The Murakami is "mismatched" because its two books in one! So you know when to finish the book because you flip it over!

So many good finds!! Thrifting is just the best 👌

ooo can't wait to hear your updated thoughts on beach read when you get to it !!

I can't remember if you've ever talked about reading Pachinko. But that's another book that follows multiple generations of a family. I couldn't put it down.

Ms. Chu, I am a brand new subscriber to your channel, having found you through a friend of yours who is also a KZreadr! She said you have a certain way about you when you read books, therefore, I can’t wait to see what you have planned for 2024!

After watching this going to my local thrift store. I like how you appreciate the different cover art. Do you ever read books on kindle or do you prefer the actual book? Enjoy your channel a lot. Take care!

:) thank you!! And I mostly do audiobooks or read on my kindle! I find physical copies kinda hard to hold but I love having a collection

your thrift stores have a great selection, much better than in my area. I have to say, browsing through your videos, i'm suprised to see that you shop for books so differently than I do. LFLs, Thrift Stores, Target, B&N.. but never used bookstores, which are my favorite places to find deep treasures! do you not have any good used bookstores near you?

@tiachu

3 ай бұрын

I 1000% AGREE W YOU, deep treasures in used bookstores indeed!!!! I have some lovely ones that I frequent a lot offline, I think 1) they’re more crowded or it’s a smaller space so it’s tougher to film and 2) I’m super diligent about my privacy online, so although I would love to promote my local independent bookstores, I’m not comfortable telling the internet where I’m located HAHA so it’s just a personal preference. But I love love love used bookstores!! 🫶🏼

@tiachu fair enough! If you ever pick it up again, I can't wait to hear the review! No pressure, of course!! I gave the book four stars because when I closed that book, I felt speechless! I also saw in the video that you were thinking about reading the book. "This is where it ends"! From my experience, I ended up rating it 2 stars after reading the whole thing. Although I enjoyed annotating it, there just wasn't enough personality in the characters and wasn't realistic at all. But, obviously, please don't think I'm telling you not to read it! After all, everyone has different reading interests!

They’re not supposed to be, so I think people are trying to do right by that rule and donating them, and idk if the people who stock the aisles know/are trained to look out for ARCs ? I’m assuming that’s something like low on their priority list
