video pending !! will def get round to this hehe

I felt the same way about a little life. I felt desensitised to the crazy stuff happening and didnt give a 💩 by the end. Theres a great vid called "euth anasia fanfiction" by owl criticism which goes deeper into it and it helped me put into words what i didnt like about it

oooh thanks so much for the video rec, I will def check it out! sometimes I find it harder to describe why I didn't like books compared to books I do, so many that will also help me articulate why I wasn't a fan!

The Secret History is my favorite book of this year (possibly ever) and I don't think any book can top it. It's changed me and how I view writing. I'm currently another book by Donna Tartt, just because I miss her writing

@@katerinareem Donna Tartt's writing is just 🤌🤌🤌 I'm reading The Goldfinch now by her and it's apparently a controversial read, Idk I think it's great but I might a bit biased 😂

I think I'm the only one that didn't like "we were liers" I thought it was very predictable and boring 😂

I see on goodreads many people feel the same! I feel like if I read it again now I would hate it as I read it a couple of years ago lol

Great to hear your thoughts! How I love The Secret History - what a great book! I'm hoping to re-read it soon, because I loved it when I read it a few years ago 😃

My Year of Rest and Relaxation is definitely up there for me. I didn't know it was big on booktok, I guess sometimes they do get things right

maybe my fyp is a little different, but I do occasionally see it often recommended, especially in the 'books for weird girls' genre (I wonder what they says about me LOL)

I have read My Year Of Rest And Relaxation and it wasn't my favorite book but it was good. I DNF'ed The Cruel Prince book because I could just tell it wasn't for me

I hear a lot of people say that about MYORAR so I feel you, and yea it was such a struggle for me to read the rest of the cruel prince series omg

@@katerinareem I think MYORAR is just for a specific taste but it's got good writing. I think The Cruel Prince would have been good if I had been younger and less read, but for a 20 something year old it's just not it imo

Welcome back from Mexico! New viewer (last few videos and cherry picking past vids) here. As someone who also loves Tartt, have you read her other two works and if so, what’s your Tartt ranking. I also read The Goldfinch but I’m still missing The Little Friend-I hear rumors that her fourth work is rising from the depths to surprise us all as Tartt is not one for the camera/news.

@katerinareem

Ай бұрын

yay !! I have read her other two works - I did enjoy the little friend, it's a very different book I feel compared to the dark academia vibe that the secret history and the goldfinch has, but I still enjoyed it! I also liked the goldfinch but I did find at times it dragged (!) so my ranking would be 1) secret history 2) goldfinch and then 3) the little friend! and yes - she seems to write a book every 10 years so we're def due a fourth one and i'm very excited for it !!!

Personally I really recommend the ‘Once upon a broken heart’ series. I got out of a 5 year reading slump until I read this book which was unexpected for me. I think it’s easy to read and get lost in. Hopefully you enjoy it if you do choose to read it!

I’ve read both the cruel prince series and the shatter me series. The cruel prince is very good, but the first book can be kinda boring. Everyone says it’s a romance but it’s actually a political fantasy. Shatter me is great, it has a really good romance subplot! But restore me and unravel me were a bit hard to get through cuz they were boring.

I agree with your take on A Little Life. It is well written but unrelentingly bleak and traumatic , and the final chapters are as you say"over the top".
