    Dangerous Girls has been given a second life! It's newly printed in hardback under the name, "I'll Never Tell". I hope it can finally get the attention it deserves.

    I adore Circe, Madeline Miller is such an amazing writer! I Believe In A Thing Called Love is such a cute and enjoyable read, it's so underrated and I wish more people read and hyped it up! I have had Little Fires Everywhere on my TBR for 2 years since it came out, but I have yet to read it. I will try to soon though 😊

    I love If We Were Villains so so much! Can't wait for M.L.Rio to bless us with a new book. I've own A Little Life for years now and I can't bring myself to read it, it will happen eventually because i love pain and suffering but ohhh i'm not ready yet. Some of my favorite standalones are Jane Unlimited by Kristin Cashore, Echo After Echo by Amy Rose Capetta and Blod Water Pain by Joy McCullough.

    I can’t wait to get my hands on Circe!! I prefer stand alones too, I like being able to wrap everything up in one reading session 📖 I’ve found that over the years as my reading tastes changed and university took over, I actually ended up missing out on so many conclusions to series I had loved

    I've started both Circe and A Little Life, but it just wasn't the right time to read them. However, I'm DYING to pick them up again, because they intrigue me so much! I also absolutely love standalones! (also because I'm the worst at reading series haha) Great video!!

    I love so many of these books! I definitely need to check of the Silence of the Girls! Based on your description of Little Fires Everywhere, I think you'd love the audiobook Miracle Creek by Angie Kim. It has the same narrator from Little Fires Everywhere and once again she does such an amazing job of putting on a performance and bringing the story to life! It's a courtroom drama about a Korean family, but much more about all the little secrets people are keeping and how they cause so many problems!

    My fav stand alone so far this year would be The Extraordinary Life Of Sam Hell. Where The Crawdads Sing is also one I would recommend and The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah.

    Oddly enough, I am not a fan of Shakespeare but still absolutely loved If We Were Villains! I definitely want to read A Little Life at some point, but it's just so intimidating...

    same here with Shakespeare and If We Were Villains. If anything it made me want to like Shakespeare :)) it's probably better if the reader also loves the bard but you can definitely still enjoy the book if not ^^

    Hey, do you think "a little life" is hard to read for someone who doesn't have english as their first language? 'Cause I'm from Germany and I like reading books in their original version, but I also want to understand the story correctly.

    i have such conflicted feelings about A Little Life. it was so beautifully written and heartwrenching but every time i think about it i can't help but think that some of it seemed kinda like torture porn? also i don't usually get triggered by novels but i had to take so many breaks reading it lol

    oh man I actually really really didn't like The Silence of the Girls, I was honestly so bored. It didn't give me enough different/new information to justify its existence.
