I’ve been humbled from the start by the mastermind herself and honestly, as an Aries, I do love a good challenge, especially with such a satisfying result cause I love Macbeth and I feel like it just makes sense for us even though I’ve never really thought of that before😌

ahhhh I just put juno loves legs on hold at my library like a day ago 👀

Hello🌿 I really liked your channel! I am so glad youtube showed me one of your videos🎉

I’m an Aries Sun, Taurus moon and Cancer rising. So I’m impatient Aries ass not getting to go first is really testing me 😭

I’m a Leo and unfortunately you are 💯 percent correct. 😂 Dramatic and bossy. Throw in a dash of eldest daughter syndrome and you have me.

How old are you?❤you are different from others.you think....

Aquarius are big weirdos who love to think. Authors like Otessa Moshfegh and Hanya Yanagihara. Books like cloud cuckoo land by doerr, 1984 by Orwell, and count of Monte cristo by Dumas 👌🏼

fhis is such a fun idea!! i’m a leo sun, sag moon, gemini rising but i’m right on the cancer-leo cusp so i’m a mixture of dramatic and overemotional 😭 “nothing really happens but it’s still really dramatic” is so relatable

wuthering heights being your pick for scorpio...you know me too well 👀˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

I’ll take the blame ♐️😌

oooh i’ve never seen those toni morrison editions 👀 i need to go and have a good walk around my library, i’m always requesting holds but i haven’t browsed there in so long!! silent reading club sounds so fun omg why have i never heard of something like that

Thank you for the recommendations ❤ and for the introspective view on today’s affairs

just found your channel by this video , and thank you for recommending "minor detail".

youtube algorithm doing its job for once ✅

great book choices! I love douglas stuart and toni morrison ♥ ♥

Rebecca got me out of a multi-year reading slump too! I also read it during lockdown ☺️

Glad to have found your channel, I need more diversity on my shelves. Have you read History by Elsa Morante? It sounds like it touches on similar topics to Minor Detail, it is set in WW2 and focuses on a Jewish woman in Italy. I absolutely recommend, the story will stay with you long after the last page. Also recommend The True History of Paradise by Margaet Cezair-Thompson about a three generations of one family coming to terms with how women are viewed in society and their place in a divided Jamaica.

the coziest any vlog on this platform could get🥹🥹🫶🏻 I just love this way of hanging out with you💛

Franny and Zooey is one of my all-time favourites. I love all of Salinger's short stories. I've read Nine Stories countless times. Great video!

AS a child prodigy chess player, who got no-where, but poor, who met an older girlfriend when i was aged 22. Who studied physics at university. who is drop dead gorgeous and thin and tall. Who met my girlfriend having a lift and she kept commentating how i was looking at my hands, then i gave her my number, whoes mother died not father and who has an older sister who is super successful rich and super confident. who lives near westmorland in the english lake district(a street mentioned in the book), and who had a friend of the family called dawson(another strreet mentioned), whoes girlfriend had a car accident and developed an illness(bed riden and couldnt have sex), who never goes on a plane and travels around britain to play in chess tournaments, who bought a paris grey cashmere cardigan for my girfriend in 1995(mentioned in the book), whoes girlfriends father died. Who has a mental illness similar to autism, whoes girlfriend is plain like sylvia but a successful woman, who said she had written a book on our lives with the characters mixed up. who can cook and who had a dog that we both treated like a child of ours.

I found your channel rn and I'm fascinated about your book recommendations! So great when we discover great book people in the internet! (Also, I'm a booktuber from Brazil, and very passionate about discovering another booktubers from around the world)

I’ve literally read all of these except This is Pleasure, Minor Detail, and a couple of the non fictions you mentioned at the end. Thanks for these titles and enjoy the others because they’re all five stars for me!

omg the trivia event looked so fun!! i’d definitely lose at it but it’s always so nice to be in community with fellow book lovers 🫶🏻

Alright, I can already tell that I’m going to like it over here. Love the recs and welcome to Booktube ❤️

so fun seeing what you got up to while reading these books! i love this concept for a video, you have me thinking about which authors i’d like to explore their inspirations!!

okay absolutely loving the vibes here!! the bluest eye is going to be my next morrison so it’s great to hear that it was impactful!! adding a bunch of these to my tbr immediately

Excellent recommendations!

Beloved is my favourite Morrison! I felt that it was so so powerful, deeply moving but also extremely chilling. It was a four stars after initially reading it, but the books stuck with me soo strongly that I ended up giving it a 5-star rating.

Yay, I also think evermore is her most inventive, experimental work, and i hope someday she'll make something else like it. There are dozens of us evermore girlies, dozens! lol

Great list! I added Minor Detail and This is Pleasure to my list. I would recommend the works of Jesmyn Ward if you haven't read them. In particular, her memoir Men We Reaped about several young black men she knew who died from various causes but all tied back to system racism.

Wonderful video as always Kara! I've only read Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin so far but it absolutely floored me. I am now on the hunt for any book of his that I can find in the charity shops, I want to read all of his work

i edited this video in a bit of a rush and it’s been pointed out to me that the inserts are wildly out of time 💀 so apologies for that but nevertheless she persisted! edit on 24 nov: i was researching for another video and realised that what i say about audre lorde writing about the double bind is incorrect! i was thinking about bell hooks who writes about it in her 1982 book “ain’t i a woman”. audre lorde may also refer to it (idk i haven’t read “your silence will not protect you” yet) but i just wanted to correct myself here! thanks for watching & leaving your recs, ive added them all to my tbr ❤️

this was a lovely vid!! added so many books to my never-ending tbr, thank you <3

Your fringe looks sooo good!! I also can NOT stop listening to TSOU deluxe! It is a masterpiece 🫶

looking to get out of a reading slump right now! i might actually give some of these a try. thank you.

the queen has uploaded a new video y'all, it's a happy day!!! <3333

this was great! real nice vibes and liked your points about Rooney's compassion + the idea of the book "paving the way" for the rest of her work. :)

My FAVORITE channel!!

I'm an evermore/rep girly too! Love all these recs!

Love the concept and the recs! ❤

my fellow evermore girlie slays as per usual ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

This is everything Kara! So many good choices, so many books I can’t wait to check out 💞

The good energy that your videos fill me with is unmeasurable<3 I'm looking forward to finally reading intermezzo!!

(also! forgot to mention this but it's one of the funniest parts of the book to me) ivan: doesn't travel by plane & always shops second hand for the environment also ivan: travels to the other side of the country every weekend to see his gf

Hey Kara! I'm very glad you made this spoiler free video as I am only reaching 2/3 of the book today, but was SO interested to hear your thoughts already. I agree with what you said about Sally Rooney writing the two brother's voices very differently. It's definitely something I noticed too and was impressed with. The way Peter's thoughts are a little more all over the place and really read like a stream of consciousness or something... I never actually considered it might be because he's under some kind of medication but now that you're pointing at it, it makes perfect sense. I also read it a little like, for me, being the older doesn't necessarily mean your way of thinking makes more sense or is very organized in reality. The more you age, the more you can doubt things, because you come to realize with experience that there isn't one way to look at things but many ways. I don't know if I make sense. But I think it's funny because Peter is described and perceived by others as someone who always wants to be right about things, like he's got this kind of superiority complex. And I think his inner monologues sometimes contradict this. I also absolutely agree about how layered the book is. I keep thinking about it when I'm not reading it and every new day I come with a new revelation about what she might want to convey, or what this or that character really mean etc. It also makes me reconsider and ponder about things from my life which I think is the highest compliment I could give to a book. It just really resonates with me and some of my life experiences. She indirectly and very lightly touches just the right chords deep within my heart and mind. I already want to reread it even though I'm not even finished with it! Now I'll need to set a Storygraph account to read your review! I may come back to talk about it more when I'm finished with the book! :)

Welcome to BookTube! I hope you enjoy the community here. I enjoy lit fic and classics as well! Rebecca was a great read. I think I've read it a few times over the years!

welcome to booktube!! 🧚‍♀️🍃 loved this video
