omg Apple has been on loop for DAYSSS it's sooo infectious <333

Indian Winter sounds super interesting; definitely feels like a side of India that I haven't read about before. I just started reading Death Valley today and am trying to rush through it before my library loan is due in 3 days 🤪but enjoying it so far. I don't think I really knew anything going in but it's funnier than I expected.

The Divines is so good!!

your makeup!! 😍😍 gunkbaby has been on my radar for so long!! can't. wait to haer what. you think about it

What a stack of possibilities! I loved this. I’m interested in the Elena Ferrante , In The Margins! And the Facebook nonfiction!

yes yes yes to Hval. would love to revisit it. and i really need to get to String Theory! i miss DFW's voice and am still, TO THIS DAY, thinking about Challengers 😵 💫

Oooh that Jamaica Kincaid…I’ve been meaning to get to it. It’s sounds very good. I loved the atmospheric reading experience you had while reading Paraadise Rot! The discussion about tennis, David Foster Wallace…I love tennis. I love to casually play tennis. And I loved I finite Jest for the tennis. ❤❤❤

u literally have the best videos. its rare that i sit and think, long after watching a booktube vid, i need to read this and go back to find the video the book was talked about in. like why are u making me want to go get cookbooks!!!!! ur crazy and this whole concept is so fun

this concept is so fun! love the love for cook books! and libraries! would looove to see these types of videos coincide with food lit too!

this is such a fun reading vlog concept! you've probably already returned CTB by now, but if not, the grapefruit pistachio loaf is amazing and her lemon orzo recipe is like a chiller version of Sohla's risotto.

loved hearing about ur thesis ! super fascinating ! & ur library visits 😊

💕💕💕

loved this <3 always look forward to your reports!!

will u share ur letterboxd? i havent yet seen challengers but i rly want to !

ESPRESSO! literally play it to get out of the house in the morning. call me basic i love. need to jump on the Baby Reindeer bandwagon it just seems sooo surreal to create something like that

i thought your thoughts on representations of children both in the context of the christina sharpe book & also in terms of genocide in palestine were rly great. using children to underline 'innocence' is such a disservice to children & adults i think ! it fetishises innocence itself as this unique virtue without which all [mostly racial] violence can be justified... idk if that makes sense, i dont think im adding anything here but i just wanted to comment bc it was great to hear you discuss things like this. i also do think it is important to specifically note that violence is happening to children, and in terms of gaza, children are perpetually under attack partially bc children as a class are subjugated. but like focusing on that i think can be done without representing them as solely passive victims who if they were to be angry or to fight back would immediately no longer deserve compassion or support, if that makes sense?? sorry for this mess of a comment, i am gonna see if my library has the audio book of ordinary notes i think !!

Congratulations on submitting your thesis! What comes next for you? Ooh I’m glad to be reminded of that Awad!

All’s well is my favorite Awad!! Such a interesting romp :)

Omg I was reading all’s well during the onset of my own chronic pain+whilst trying to convince myself it was going to go away on its own and let me tell u that is a triiiiip. Such a good book! Prob more endeared to me because of that strange experience

Unsubscibed when you called a 50 year old a grandpa, not cute

congrats on submitting your thesis! suduko is so fun! i've also been playing the letterbox nytime games?

need to say the glow and hazy light on you in this video is stellar! love the muji pen as prop and isn't getting dream furniture the best feeling ever?! it just makes it feel like your home is getting closer and closer to the tight knit space you've always desired. need to get to All's Well! i was okay with Rouge, and can't wait to hear your thoughts on it!

A lot of writing nowadays feels like a solid 2nd or 3rd unfinished draft. It's weird.

You are so pretty. I know it’s not relevant to the topic at hand but just wanted to say it.

I’ve been on a reading slump ever since I finished my brilliant friend series 😭

noor this was a beautiful vlog (the spring vibes, the outfits, the food, etc etc). also awesome book recommendations and commentary as per usual -- christina sharpe's book sounds so up my alley. i'll have to try and find it at the library tmrw. also, the ways the genocide of palestinians is being shared on social media is something ive thought a lot abt. to add another dimension to the convo: knowing that the videos coming from gaza are being filmed by gazans to document their genocide and bc western solidarity with palestine completely hinges on palestinian death is just. jesus, i dont even know how to word it. like, when motaz azaiza was still reporting in gaza, he posted on instagram an apology to other palestinians for all the videos he was filming. like i dont even know wut to say to that. ive seen ppl who arent palestinian say he didnt have to apologize, but he was never apologizing to us. he was apologizing to his ppl. idk my thoughts r all jumbled abt this. i remember there being an essay by a writer from the palestinian diaspora abt this very issue, but i cant remember the title. i'll edit my comment when i do. edit: it's "the work of the witness" by sarah aziza and can be found on jewish currents !

hot people play every level of sudoku before the afternoon even hits

eep im so late to the party djghsdkfg idk if u r still taking questions but: 1) do u have any other youtube communities/video "genres" u like watching? 2) who are your favorite artists? 3) what does art mean to u? what do u consider "art?" im so curious to hear all ur thoughts on this as a fellow art history student 4) oo and where do u usually go (whether it be irl or online) to find new artists and art? i rlly enjoy this report format -- perhaps one of my fav things to come from tiktok! it rlly does give that tumblr blog vibe that i absolutely adore.

Congrats on 1k!! Also love the report format!! Q:What is a book that you wish you could re-read like it was your first time Q: A book that someone has recommended you that was a red flag recommendation

"it's so cool to know people vaguely and talk about books" -- big big yes so so thankful for this community. and thank you for being part of it <333 also congrats on 1k bb!!! gonna go ham with the questions: 1) What culture made you? 2) When did you get into reading? 3) Which book(s) changed the way you see/move through the world? 4) Go-to meal (outside of salsa lol)? 5) Go-to weekend bender drink? 6) Go-to silly weekday drink? 7) Go-to cafe order? 7) Favorite pastry? 8) A phrase or set of words that has always remained with you?

Report format is great

Okay I just added Empire of Pain to the spotify audiobook queue and STOP IT. I AM SEEKING OUT TRAITORS RIGHT NAOOO

btw, I love the report format!

Congratulations!!! I would love to hear about your Masters program and plans for the future for your q&a.

congrats on 1k noor!! i've been doing reports in my journal but on a weekly basis and i felt like i do the same things 😂i love jazz for everyday people!! so good questions for your q&a: what's your go to beverage/drink? favorite reality tv show/franchise? are there any other youtube communities/interests that u follow/watch?

congrats on 1k subs🎉

I really appreciate what you said about Care Work. I agree with your perspective on the constant labelling (which not only is dehumanizing in a way but also became monotonous in this book). And the weird association of transmasc/ butches as holding up the patriarchy. I wasn’t able to put these thoughts into words so I’m glad to hear your take!

It was an intense, good story but I came off feeling unsettled of people doing all sorts of illegal immoral things to get things, even when you are talented. In the end the book industry is exposed like any industry, someone is holding all the chips and it's sad when good authors don't get a deal. I love books and hope this industry is ever present just fair for everyone.

wonderful summary of some of the problematics of identity/legibility/individualism/tokenism/flattening (et cetera! there are so many different tendrils at play here) and the knot of attempting full, transparent representation of people, topics, points of view lol at books as relationships/friendships and breaking up with them - I feeeel that hard

Renee from @thelefthandedreader6632 brought me here. Happy Reading! 😎📚👍

Good luck getting out of your slump!! Loved your thoughts in this vlog :)

being in a reading slump sucks!! i miss montreal!!

loved your notes on the individualization of identity. there is something more beyond category and how we can navigate through art, especially, and social justice.

Two unique books here! As always, very interesting topics discussed here!

This book was amazing.

Hiii! Just found your channel :D Had your same feelings about Queerly beloved, it was okay and I enjoyed the puns and everything but I couldn't care less about the love story and.. well, that's not the best if you're reading a romance 😁 But I will be reading Here we go again soon and I'm quite excited about it, I had loved Kiss her once for me by Alison Cochrun!

I LOVE THIS so interesting seeing your brain’s methods to plot and scheme your life! Love all your cutouts too ❤

hello!! first time commenting on one of ur vids -- dont be so hard on urself!! i think u explained the books just fine <3 if u dont mind me asking, can u elaborate more on ur thesis? you've said b4 that u r in a masters program for art history, and im actually pursuing an associate's degree in art history rn!! i'd love to hear abt how u tie together punjabi migration and art history.

congrats on submitting your thesis!! poor happy 💔 can't wait for the substack

so so glad to see that Happy Hour ended up in your top list! i've been wanting to read it for so long, but i want the cute canadian copy sooo bad!!
