Sometimes I rewatch my videos and wonder what the hell I was saying. What tf is "intellectually crafted" ma'am I need a thesaurus...

I loved this so much, your videos always cheer me up. It is amazing that you know Agostini!! That was an amazing book! That rain at the end was insane!!!

Well, now I've added most of these to my TBR! Been wanting to read Ruth Ozeki and Louise Erdrich especially!

Okay but hiking up a mountain with 6 books is DEDICATION

"Use the mens loos" ... she means use the mens toilets. Lol yes a British thing 🤣 I loved this vid! Thank-you

ohhh loos!

Elif Shafak: I would recommend both 10 minutes & 38 seconds on this Strange World and The Forty Rules of Love. The latter being my favourite and what made me fall in love with her. The island of Missing Trees definitely not the place to Starr.

So good to see your joy! Half the men at the party were wearing floral shirts so Erdrich’s editor didn’t have the only gay shirt there. 😂

Ugh everyone wants to dress like the gays now! I'm so excited to watch your vlog of the event!

Looking forward to your monthly wrapup!

The Book of Form and Emptiness was such an interesting reading experience for me- it made me feel emotionally anxious the whole time, and I wanted to stop reading it but I couldn't put it down, and then I loved it. My favorite of the nominees was Sorrow and Bliss, but I'm very happy that this won.

How are you doing mr saajid iam very happy to know there are Muslim have booktubes channel iam Arabic lady citizen since Christmas 2019 I began to subscribe to British and American KZread channels even your homeland is unknown to me it’s near Venezuela it’s archipelago consisted of two islands called republic of Trinidad and Tobago iam Muslim too I hope I learn a lot from your knowledge stay safe blessed good luck to you your dearest ones iwish for your channel more success and progress

I really love all the books contrasted against the hammock. I don't know why it made me really happy. The Bread The Devil Knead is the only book for sure I want to read. Since the longlist it is the one that has stood out. I think Sorrow and Bliss will also be read. I am more interested in reading A Tale For The Time Being now but not sure I'll ever read The Book of Form and Emptiness.

Oh A Tale is superb, you must read it!

I really need to start committing myself to reading the Man Booker and Women's Prize Shortlists. But I don't have that kind of stick-to-it-ness. 😩

I now want to read all of the shortlist. I've only read Great Circle. I have read Ruth Ozeki's book A Tale For a Time Being and really enjoyed it so now I need to The Book of Form and Emptiness. Great video as always.

A Tale for the Time Being has very similar vibes to Great Circle. I think you'd like it, and it's Can Lit since it's set between Canada and Japan, Ozeki also lives in Canada.
