Very fun!

I think you would love The Echo of Old Books! It’s a book about books, magical realism, dual POV, dual timeline! Historical fiction with a subplot of romance and mystery 🫶🏻

I haaated The Perfect Marriage 🙈 I got roped into reading it at the urging of my coworkers, who all love it. I felt like such an outsider, lol. I hope you enjoy it more ✨

only book i’ve ever given 1 star hahahaha it was so ridiculous on every page

If you haven't read Circe, I think that could be a five star for you. Beautiful writing and you said you loved Kaikeyi. Highly recommend the audiobook as well, the narrator's voice is so perfect for it.

I loooove Sinister and no one ever talks about it, I’m so excited you mentioned it! 🖤

The Great alone is such a great story, it's my favorite book of all time!!! So excited for you to read this, I literally screamed😂🥰

From Storm and Shadow by Rachel Morgan. It's a fantasy story about this girl whose parents died and she figures out the secret behind her parents deaths. There's a guy that shows up his name is Ash they are once childhood lovers and he tried to kill her

My 5 star prediction for you would be Role Playing by Cathy Yardley. This book feature characters in their late 40's who are both gamers. Because they are mature, you get to skip silly, petty drama but you still get a ton of fun. There's a lot of strong representation & diversity in this and there's an incredible balance of humor with heavier topics. These two start off building a friendship and it so strong and wholesome. The way the romantic feelings finally emerge feels really natural and I think even stronger because there is that slow burn. I picked this up randomly and was delighted by how much I enjoyed it, so I think and hope it's something you like, too!

When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A Parker because it has the epic fantasy element I think you’d enjoy but also a cold hearted witty MFC who’s an assassin, and dragons 🐉 ❤

The Perfect Marriage was terrible and I decided to pass on You Shouldn’t Have Come Here (and I was glad because I have since heard mostly poor reviews on it). But on the note of you liking the trope of Horror Movie, I am currently reading Jeneva Rose’s new release Home is Where the Bodies Are, with that same trope. So far so good, but I’m only about 100 pages in. As always, can’t wait to see your reviews!

Unlikely Animals by Annie Hartnett (because it’s charming, and hilarious, and sad, and tackles serious issues like grief and addiction) Also, the Sentence by Louise Eldrich, because again it tackles serious issues in a quirky way

I'm relatively new to your channel but I think you would love Code Name Verity! Historical fiction, compelling narration, and a heartbreaking bond between two young women.

Okay I responded to the patreon survey but I also REALLY want to rec The Silence That Binds Us... bc it's a powerful & accessible book about the way depression/mental health disorders, racism and other oppression cycles silence victims--but told in a way that fosters compassion and empathy for the victims and their inability to speak out. And then it illustrates the ways that silence perpetuates those cycles, and encourages not only victims, but allies, to speak out in order to break the cycles. It's one of the best books I've read this year and I feel like readers of all ages (YA+) and all genres will be changed by reading this book! Just can't say enough good things! TW: suicide

The Enchanted Hacienda by JC Cervantes because it’s romance with magical realism and flowers and It’s not a typical romance so I think you’d really like it

Herc by Phoenicia Rogerson is one of the best retellings I've ever read. It's told through vignettes of all the people who encountered into Hercules throughout his life, so it almost feels like an E! True Hollywood Story (though it's not a transcript). Plus, the audiobook was a full cast and incredible.

The A Time of Dread series is sooooo good. The Faithful and the Fallen is my favourite series and I loved getting back into that world! Enjoy 😊

Hockey + fleshed out characters you cant help but root for + politics and intrigue = Beartown! I think youd love it 😊

I love being early to syd's videos :)

A few reads I bet you’d love (although I’m not sure if you’ve not sure if you’ve read them already.) We Ride Upon Sticks, anything by Iain Reid (especially I’m Thinking of Ending Things), anything by Elizabeth Joy Arnold (especially The Book of Secrets, which was mesmerizing and reminded me of The Thirteenth Tale…And if you haven’t read The Thirteenth Tale you need to! 😊) I also recently read and loved The Kingdom of Back, by Marie Lu.

⭐🌟⭐ Our tastes in books only line up partially so idk if it'll work for you, but if you want a short story scifi, Sleep Donation by Karen Russell was a 5 star for me. Its a dystopian setting where people donate their sleep in an insomnia epidemic...hence the title.

I loved The Perfect Marriage. A 5 star read for me! 🌟

@@michellemp1626 That's great news! I didn't know that.

I’m reading The Great Alone right now based on my aunts recommendation and enjoying it so far. I’m very iffy with historical fiction but Kristen Hannah’s writing usually can make me pick it up, especially paired with a recommendation.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ think you would love The Golem and the Djinni by Helene Wecker, where two mythical creatures meet each other by chance! Magical/folktale-y, love and friendship, NYC at the turn of the century---it's got it all. I also think you would love The Warm Hands of Ghosts by Katherine Arden (if you like reading books with a main character who is a nurse during wartime). Magical realism, deep bonds of family and friendship, and a quest to solve strange goings-on and save a life. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hi Syd! It’s a great book! Can’t wait to talk with you about it!❤ thank you for the mention❤️

The Great Alone is in my top 5 ever x

i HATED the perfect marriage omg and i find i usually like the same books as you. it did have that writing where its super readable but i say be wary haha. as for a book recommendation, i'd say natural beauty by ling ling huang if you haven't read that already! it's a speculative/horror/fever dream/lit fic vibe that i think you'll love (i also loved books like bunny and how high we go in the dark which i saw you also loved and this book gave me the same feelings as those). and beyond the weirdness wtf-nature of the plot, there's discussion about unconditional familial love, the immigrant experience, ideal western beauty standards that i ATE UP and think you would too

The Great Alone is fabulous!!!!

I don't read historical fiction much, but The Great Alone is such a great book!

I gave The Husbands 5* For you the Night Circus, because you Loved The Starless Sea

Ooooh I also loved Kaikeyi and am super looking forward to Goddess of the River!!

New sub here 👋 I just read The Lies of Locke Lamora and LOVED it. It's not a completed series and the author seem to take years do write the books due to mental health issues, but oh man, I'd wait a thousand years, it was just so good.

The Husbands and Bloom sound interesting

I read the rest of the Cosmere before trying Stormlight. While I generally liked all of the books, I had to push myself through books 1 and 2 of Stormlight and honestly not sure I'll finish the series. Not to say you won't like them-- I think you will! I just also rarely hear people not enjoy them (at least not publicly, since the fanboys can really fanboy)

Since you love Kaikeyi and weird, I think you'd really like Sistersong by Lucy Holland. It's a very powerful retelling of a relatively unique tale.

Bloom was a wild read and I loved every minute of it. Hope you love it!

Sinister is soooooo goooood

Sinister is a good movie. Not my all time fave movie but loved the theme and the atmosphere. The only book I've loved by Tremblay so far is The Cabin at the End of the World. It was very suspensful.

Brian Feehan's (2) books. The first one i Harmony of Fire, and the second one is Harmony of Lies. I got them based off the cover, but also i liked his mom's writing. I think you would like these books because there's "elements" of magic in them, but it's not like "wand magic" and the second one takes place in a haunted house! (i think you'd really like the second one) and you need to read the red one before the blue one, because character building.

I am not a huge Kristin Hannah fan but I loved “The Great Alone” I hope you do too!

Your mom is 1000% right about Kristen Hannah's The Great Alone!! I loved that book and honestly I can see you and Caleb living off the grid in Alaska like this family did. I think you would love When We Believed in Mermaids by Barbara O'Neal. About a family who was living in Santa Cruz California in the 70's and how they reconnect now in present day and address trauma from the past. PS your mom would like it too!

I think you would rate Annie Bot 5 🌟. It has a touch of sci-fi, a bit unhinged, and touches on so many thought-provoking topics: autonomy, relationships, friendships, women empowerment, feminism, self-worth, etc.

I don't think you have gotten around to it yet, so I am going to say (when you want a fantasy break) read "A Secret History". Please do! (On the flip side, I just picked up "Night Bitch" when I went to the book store for some weird/horror books for Summerween this year. I remember you saying you really liked it and our tastes often overlap with the strange ones. I am a Mom to 3 little boys, all under 7 years old, so I wonder how our perspectives will compare?

I think you’d like The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender (hopefully). I wanna hear your thoughts on! I read it 10 years ago and I still periodically think about it. 🌟🌟

Because of your love of Malice, I really think you will like Age of Myth (and the whole The Legends of the First Empire, I am currently making my way through and loving them) by Michael J. Sullivan.

Dragon Mage is my favorite book EVER!! I have a soft spot for characters that are autistic ❤❤

I think you would love The Liveship traders series by Robin Hobb. Her character work is amazing, and the plot and intrigues are fantastic. Do recommend⭐️⭐️🤩

Hi! Have you read The Blacktongue Thief by Christopher Buehlman? It seems like it might be something you would like. Or the Book of the Ancestor trilogy by Mark Lawrence (speaking of giving authors another chance!) ⭐️

My 5 star prediction for you is Sirens & Muses by Antonia Angress! It feels v pretentious and I’ve heard you say you like pretentious books. Multiple POVs. Good discussions on sexuality, art, classism, capitalism, etc.

To Gaze Upon Wicked Gods cause it’s fantasy with I think would be high stakes & has women empowerment.
