I highly recommend Mornings in Jenin and Salt Houses!

Finally read this based on your reccomendation :) it was great

Wonderful!

I'm more jealous watching this. It's awesome, well done ladies. So well thought out 👌🏾

Wish I could attend it. ☹️ Please plan something in US .

very well organised, well done guys!

What a day ❤

Such a good event!! Looking forward to next years one!!! ❤

Nice discussion - weirdest books I read over the last couple years were weird and gross - Earthlings by Sayaka Murata (was grossed out by the end), weird and wonderful - Nona the Ninth by Tasmyn Muir (sci fi which must have been written on psychedelic drugs with the warmest and best hearted protagonist), weird and awful and excrutiatingly BORING - The Star Touched Queen by Roshan Chokski (so wanted to like this, it was terribly disappointing and the weird was pedestrian), weird and innovative - Fifteen Dogs by Andre Alexis (excellent, mind-bending fiction, set in familiar Toronto neighbourhooods and meditating with great sweep on what if the gods made a bet and 15 dogs became intelligent in a human sense)

Lool

The weirdest book that I have read is Piranesi by Susanna Clarke . So odd . 😂

Love thiss!! 😂

Loved this so much

Open Water was amazing, then i read Small Worlds...amazing-er!

I feel the same about The Vanishing Half but don't think it was that bad🫣 Brit Bennett is an incredible writer but I wasn't interested nor remember most of the story even now.

I thought "Such a Fun Age" was so MEH and then after seeing your review of "Come and Get It", I knew I couldn't waste another moment being curious about her second book. I have both Coco Mellors books in my TBR and I am excited to read them one day soon (ish). I think it was her third book, so maybe not relevant here but for me the most disappointing follow-up to a book that received critical acclaim was "You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty" by Akwaeke Emezi. "The Death of Vivek Oji" was such a stunning, profound book and then YMAFODWYB was so meandering and tedious by comparison. I couldn't believe they were written by the same person!

Loved this! So fun

I picked this up at the library after hearing about it on your channel. I loved it! A lot of themes all woven together well and different levels to them. And I loved her Dad too! Thx for recommending as based on the cover and blurb not sure I would have picked it up.

Fantastic discussion as always. I’ve read the book and agree with all your thoughts. Ela did great with this book, the title, the slap (lol) and the whole identity of children of immigrants/mixed race kids 👏🏽

I loved Jades Dad!

Thank you for the review. Immediately bought it on Kindle.

Great discussion will put on my to read list!

Loved Shani’s (yes she is a bookstagrammer) collection and it’s absolutely amazing

Thanks for some great recommendations 💕 I am currently reading Long Island by Colmn Toibin next I think I am going to read The 7 or 8 deaths of Stella Fortuna 😊

I was very impressed by the series and I loved the book

LOveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

The best recommendations as per usual

Love this. Thank you for sharing

I agree with Linda! I can’t do books in the bath! I get bored and the water gets cold way too quick lol

Welcome to Booktube! Really looking forward to seeing more videos from the five of you 😊

Now all of a sudden my TBR list is interesting again, thank you 🤗🤭.

I totally agree!!! A Mouth Full of Salt is exceptionally well-written and definitely worth reading!

I love Linda’s recommendations, too! Great video.

Omg! I am so jealous that you’ve got an ARC of Little Rot. I love Emezi’s writing. Ahh Butter was one I was excited about, but I’ve heard very mixed reviews of it. I’ve heard mixed reviews of Come And Get It too. I have it, but have sort of put it at the end of my TBR. Nightbloom was my favorite of the women’s prize Longlist! So good. Adding a handful of these recs to my TBR. These Letters End In Tears sounds fantastic! A Trace of Sun is really good! It is definitely not a beach read though. I read it for the women’s prize Longlist. I just got a copy of The Great Divide! Great video!

Hey ladies! A belated welcome to Booktube! I’m so sad that I’ve only just found your channel now. Subscribing this instant and consider me a new fan! You all have such good chemistry between you. I immediately felt like I was at brunch with my group of girlfriends! Reading diversely is a big focus on my channel, so I’m thrilled to see this is a focus for you all as well. :) I’m excited to go check out some of your other videos as soon as I finish this one. I love reading in the bath! This is my go to place to decompress. A hot bath and book after a day of work is perfect. Listening to what you like to read, I’ve got quite a bit of crossover with each of you! Babel is dark academia. It’s solid. I like that it flips a lot of the typical dark academia tropes. Subscribed and looking for more of your videos soon!

Love your candor and humour! Watching you from Cape Town, South Africa and looking forward to more bookish chats 😀

This was awesome, i enjoy watching y'all 🥰

Are you taking applications for a 6th😭😍😭

I really admire what you are doing and bringing it to the Booktube community! I love that there is another multi-person Booktube channel joining this community, for we have been active for 10 years and it is challenging to get everyone together, but it is achievable. When we film content with multiple people, we will often film multiple videos in one day and then release them accordingly when they are edited. I think the five of you have a great chemistry and I believe there are no boundaries amongst you. I also agree that it is perfectly okay to be able to disagree with someone and debate your side and everything is still okay. We are seeing a great sense of strain because people are having difficulty doing that. It is also great that amongst you, you enjoy reading a wide array of genres. You should not have to force yourself to read fantasy if you do not want to do so. Read what you want to read. You stick out by being yourself. Babel was a nominee for one of our Roundtable Reads on our channel, but it lost out to The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. This was one of the best introduction videos I have ever watched, and I am very excited to watch more of your videos! -Josh

Hi, Omma, Mimi, Tanya, Jess, and Linda! I'm looking forward to hearing about all bookish things you want to share with us. From an oldie content creator to a newbie, welcome aboard. We're so glad to have you here!

About the bathtub reading discussion: I have a feeling that this is much more of a Booktube than Bookstagram thing to do, so no wonder it took you the Booktube Newbie Tag to discuss it. :) Glad you did this, and yes the dynamics of the group discussion are great and unique. I also appreciate the fact that you are 5 adults, which is also rare (or not as successful on Booktube). But also, the quality and editing of the videos thus far is top notch so keep it up.

Thank you for doing the tag. Nice video. Thank you for sharing. -James

The work you do is amazing! You truly have inspired me to read more books. Lots of love ❤

Love this. Thank you for this

This was so fun! Feel like I’ve really got to know you as I’ve watched several of your videos now and follow you on IG. I know you have a lot of platforms, but would you ever open a group goodreads account? Would love to see your reviews on there as I browse through for my next reads on there.

Great video

I’m half way through hidden fires and loving it :) thanks for the reccomendations :)

Just found your channel. Love the diversity

Some great recs here!

Really glad this came up on my recommended, love that it's a group doing these recommendations
