ok band sinister sounds super interesting. i've been increasing my historical romance more lately. your influence on me is growing

I loved Act Your Age, Eve Brown and the Fifth Season. I reread The Fifth Season before reading The Obelisk Gate and enjoyed it even more the second time! Now I need to re read The Obelisk Gate and finally finish the trilogy this year! My favorite books of last year were The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune, A Mind Spread Out on The Ground by Alicia Elliot, and the Raybearer duo loft be Jordan Ifueko! ❤️

People We Meet on Vacation is on my January tbr!! So many people speak so highly of it and I am so so excited to read it!!

The first pair of glasses looks so good on you! I am so hyped for the Fifth Season! :)

I wish I had heard 'The Beautiful Ones' compared to Pride and Prejudice and Jane Austen-esque writing sooner. I would have picked it up faster! LOL It was also in my top 10 of 2021 too!

Your discussion of A Dowry of Blood got me to pick it up & it’s been one of my favorite reads in years!! It really is so lyrical & beautifully written

Of all the book tubers I watch, this is the one I was the most hype for!

I love Band Sinister and I'm so glad you're talking about it!

my tbr pile thanks you! :D hope you have a great reading year!

You're so right about Fifth Season! I got so close to DNFing because I was feeling so lost, but it was totally worth it pushing through, it's truly genius. And People We Meet on Vacation was my last read of 2021 and also one of my favorites! It was delicious to see the characters relationship develop through the years, they had so much chemistry, it was so fun, they hardly felt like characters at all! I'll definitely be reading more from this author too

Yes! Great list. Last Argument of Kings was so excellent. Can't wait to read the Age of Madness trilogy. So happy you loved The Atlas Six as well.

eve brown was my favorite of the year too! one of the few books i cried over because of happiness lol. i’m excited to read people we meet on vacation, i just got a copy from the library and am really hoping i’ll love ittt

Act your age, Eve brown and people we meet on vacation were top tier romance this year.

I love your taste in books. I find it so refreshing and just love all your energy and passion in this video. Definitely convinced me to add more to my tbr that’s never going to end and I’m not even ashamed of it’s length tbh🤣 also you look absolutely stunning and seem like such a lovely soul. Thank you for creating this wholesome safe space 💗

"The beautiful ones" I brought after your review 🤞🏾I finally get to it.

aaaaa have been so excited for this

Love it!!! Kisses and hugs from Argentina!!!!

You're one of the 1st persons that I've heard say such good things about the Atlas 6. I know it's being officially released this year. It was self published got picked up by a publisher so it will go through a editing process. I decided to wait until then to read it. I think it comes out in March.

Ooh like the list!! I have the Emily Henry, the 5th season & eve brown on my tbr - gonna read all of those this year. My book of 2021 was lonely castle in the mirror by Mizuki Tsujimura.

YAY!! so happy you liked it

the fifth season (tbh the entire broken earth trilogy) is one of the best books I have ever read ! it makes me so sad to see people give up on it early on. I've been really wanting to reread the series because I just know there are seeds planted throughout the books that I didn't notice the first time. N.K. Jemisin is a master of the craft

Jan Agaton has been raving about A Dowery of Blood and I can't wait to try it

I desperately need to get to Band Sinister soon!

I looooved Honey Girl. ☺️

You are so pretty :(

I read People We Meet On Vacation and really did not like it. It felt to me that there were just too many times the main conflict could have easily been resolved with the simplest of conversations. I also didn’t really enjoy the characters. But of course, different books for different people. I was just shocked to see it on this list. I just got some really good recommendations in other books on this list though! Thank you Mina! 🙂

i also read the fifth season and its sequels!!!! it's so good!!! i'm honestly disappointed that more people don't like it

Hey pretty❤❤

I have so many mixed feelings about Atlas Six. I don't know if I should read it, because aspects of it are appealing. Like the character-driven aspect, the academic rivalry, the dark academia vibes, and the comments on the prose also perks my interest. But, I have also seen criticism on the world-building, and I have read books like that before and unless it is done with a dash of whimsy I kind of hate it and I find it underdeveloped. I have also seen comparisons of this book to others that I have also not enjoyed, so I really don't know. If I do, I will be taking a bit of a gamble.

The world building is a bit vague so if that will bother you, I don’t recommend reading it

I’m hoping to read atlas six at some point this year 😩

when that scene happened in eve brown,, i honest to god thought eve was going to peg him i was so excited help

Hey Mina, love your videos. When are you doing another reading sprint livestream? I really wanna read but I need the motivation.

Now I have to read Joe Abercrombie. Sounds interesting

So exited to see the Green Bone Sage live shows on MelReads channel; I think you will be in one of them! I'm going to be picking up Jade City for the first time sometime this month!

you out here selling me on joey, but i feel like when i pick it up i'm gonna get put it down tweets

Don't mind me eyeing my unread copy of jade legacy 👀

maybe this year is the year i'll be peer pressured enough to read all these white men fantasy series *coughs brandon anderson and joe abercrombie*

‼️‼️‼️‼️🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠💫💫💫💫💫💫

I've generally stopped reading books by white men but you're kind of convincing me to pick up Joe Abercrombie what is happening?!
