Dawn's book reviews
США
Добавлен 23 мар 2024
Dawn's Book Reviews is a channel where I present my favorite books and bring up discussion points related to the main themes in each book. I mostly read classic literature and contemporary fiction. I love to have in-depth discussions and I love to read about points of view different from my own.
I am naturally drawn to women writers and this is an LGBTQ friendly channel.

All the light we cannot see, by Anthony Doerr: A discussion
Hi, Dawn, I also loved "The Enchanted April". My favs in 2024 were "Fried green tomatoes", "A tree grows in Brooklyn", "The piano tuner", "Silk", "Foster", "And every morning the way home gets longer and longer", "84, Charing Cross Road", "Life after life", "The Nightingale", "The lover" (Duras), "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" and a few more
Thank you for sharing!! I loved Foster and I have A tree grows in Brooklyn on my 2025 tbr!!! Wishing you a great year of reading in 2025!!!❤️
Please share the best book you read in 2024!📚❤️📚
Great list!
Thank you! I am planning to make a video where I discuss all my favorite books of 2024!🎉
Ooh Invisible Man is on my ‘to read’ list. I need to buy one for 2025! 😁
@@jamgart Highly recommend it! I may actually do a video discussion about it, it was very thought-provoking📚😍📚
I haven’t read any of those yet!😊
@@kellireadsalot I recommend them!! Happy Holidays Kelli!❤️🎄❤️
this was a nice video, thank you
You're welcome! Happy Holidays!! ❤️🎄❤️
@ happy holidays to you as well ❣️
Haha Interesting sequel! 🙌Perhaps he could have written a book that turned out to be... The Age of Innocence ! I don't remember all the tiny details about the novel (I read it years ago) but your psychological analysis is on point. Let's not forget that social conventions are also weighing heavily on Countess Olenska's behaviour and etiquette prevents her from voicing her feelings. As far as manipulation goes, May is also a crafty artist (with her fake pregnancy for example), showing that decorum is but a subtle game (archery being a good metaphor)
Haha, yes, May has a few tricks up her sleeve, that's a whole other can of worms!!😂😂 Thank you for watching and happy holidays!!☃️
@@Dawnsbookreviews Happy holidays to you too 🤗🎄❄
I haven't any Wilkie Collins yet, must get to it, thanks for the prod. Ah, George Eliot, I think 'Daniel Deronda' is my favourite, but 'Middlemarch' is majestic. I really look forward to hearing about how you got on with all your other discoveries also. Thanks for another wonderful video.
Thank you for telling me about Daniel Deronda- will need to get that one!! Thanks for watching and happy holidays!!❄️☃️❄️
Ah, welcome. Ive been going for around 6 months also, & I'm really enjoying the journey. It's a wonderful lark. I look forward to following your bookish adventures. Your approach to reading sounds fabulous.
Thank you! Will need to check out your channel!!❄️☃️❄️
@@Dawnsbookreviews; It would be wonderful to follow one another's bookish adventures.
Beautiful footage of Chicago! I´d love to see a video in second hand book shops, they´re my favourite, that´s where I get my books, a lot cheaper and you find wonderful things
@@marianacaffaro Great idea! I will keep that in mind, thank you for the suggestion!!🤗
Ooh I love a wonderful book store day! Glad you were able to find some good books!
@@BonnieNicoleWrites Yay, thank you for stopping by!!❤️
Keep up the great work I love seeing videos like this.
@@Brandon-qr6rg So glad you enjoyed it! Planning to make more of these in different cities!!!
¡Qué bonito! Me ha encantado el paseo. Middlemarch es uno de mis novelas favoritas, esa edición me tienen enamorada. Es Preciosa.
@@LapeceradeRaquel Aaah si, me ecanta también!! Que bien que te gustó el paseo!!!🤗
Reading “Bleak House,” now and it is very good….I have read much of Dicken’s works and He is just Great!
@@tommygoodman4570 Yes, such a great story teller!!!🤗
"Foster" is so precious.
Yes! Will always have a special place in my heart!!❤️
Some great recommendations! I've had Keegan and Kincaid on my shopping list for a while, and I have some Jean Giono sitting on my shelf...perhaps I should get around to reading it!
Thanks for stopping by!😊 Sounds like you have some great books on your shelves!! Happy reading!!🤗📚
¡Hola! Tengo uno de Keegan sin leer, no sé si es ese o no porque a veces cambian los títulos con las traducciones y no tienen nada que ver. De Wharton leí dos, tengo pendiente “la edad de la inocencia” y sí, sube ese vídeo 🙏😍 Me apunto un par de ellos, a ver si los encuentro por aquí. Me han encantado tus recomendaciones. Un abrazo 😊
Hola Raquel!❤️ Gracias por pasar a visitarme!! OK, entonces vamos a hablar de "la edad de la inocencia"!! Te mando un abrazo hasta España!!😍
Very interesting list. I am yet to read Edith Whorton, now I’m considering reading Ethan Frome. I would also love to read Second Harvest and The enchanted april. Thank you ❤
@@kalpanarawat8398 So glad you enjoyed this list! Feel free to stop by here and let me know your thoughts once you read them!!🤗
Lovely video! You covered a lot of books that I've been wondering about for a while. I'll have to keep these in mind when I'm picking out quick reads towards the end of the year!
@@PixelsandQuills Good to hear this was helpful!!😍
YES I am an Edith Wharton fan, and indeed Ethan Frome is the first and only thing I have read from her. Of the rest, Second Harvest looks most interesting to me. Thank you for the video!
@@JosephFrancisBurton Glad to hear you are an Edith Wharton fan! I do recommend The Age of Innocence!! Second Harvest is my favorite by Giono! Glad you liked the video!!😊
I want to read that one!!!
Reading it now!!❤
I loved Shirley when I read all those years back. I should re read it as I have forgotten it. I think I much preferred Charlotte Bronte over Jane Austin. I am loving the way you deliver your books. You analyze them and bring out the message so nicely. Thanks for sharing and teaching.
@@lucieMe-zj4vb I completely agree about Charlotte Bronte!!❤️ It's the deep feelings that just touch my heart!! Thank you for watching the video!!!
Great list! Dorian Grey has the potential to become an all time fave for me. I've read Small Things Like These, I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, To Kill A Mockingbird, but there are lots I have yet to read!
@@jenniferlovesbooks Great! Happy reading! Can't wait to see if Dorian makes it as one of your all time favorites!!🤗
I read (and loved) 9/10 of the books on your list. "I know why the caged bird sings" just traveled to the top of my tbr.
@@savy6623 Wow! Glad to hear you recognize some of your all-time favorites! I hope you like "I know why the caged bird sings"!🤗📚
Wow! Thank you so much. First video i’ve seen on your channel and I adore your descriptions. Adding all these, besides EoE which was already on there, to my ever growing “to read” list. Subscribed!
@@SleepyEDMcow I am so glad you liked the video!! Thank you for watching!!! 🤗🤗🤗
You made me want to read those I haven't read yet! The grapes of wrath of Steinbeck is in my top 10
@@borhanmunro Good to know! It's on my tbr!!!❤️
Thanks, this is a very nice review. I don't have time to read wordy books, hope there're graphic novel versions of some of these... 😋
@@CyberneticOrganism01 Haha!! I have a feeling there may very well be a graphic novel version of Oliver Twist! I am also working on a "Short books" video- might be of interest too!!🤗
@Dawnsbookreviews There is a graphic novel of _To Kill a Mocking Bird_ and the artwork is exquisitely done
@@CyberneticOrganism01 Ooooh I need to look into that, thanks for letting me know!😊
I loved Bleak House!! Dickens is one of my favorite authors and I think Bleak House is one of my favorite of his books.
@@BonnieNicoleWrites Me too!! So glad to find other fans of Bleak House on Booktube!!🤗
I love classics. I read The Picture of Dorian Gray last year for the first time and I really enjoyed it. I haven't read Silas Marner, but it is on my list!
@@BonnieNicoleWrites Oh good! I hope you love it!!😍
Loved The Goldfinch! 😊 Rereading East of Eden now. One of the best American classics. I do think I like The Grapes of Wrath more though. ❤
@@MIDDLEoftheBookMARCH Thank you for sharing your thoughts!!🤗 OK, now let's see how I like The grapes of wrath!!!
Thank you so much for this. I just added Annie John to my TBR list, I know you have reviewed some of her books before on booksta so I'll start with that one and then check your previous posts. The Bleak House and I Know Why The Caged Birds Sing are on my pending books thanks to you and I was already planning on reading Small Things Like These this winter. I am so excited for that read. ❤ I loved your video and I agree with your definition about classic books. Hugs
@@abigailmontemayor2098 So good to hear your thoughts!! I am glad this was helpful!! ❤️😍❤️
I tried to read East of Eden, but couldn't get beyond the first couple hundred pages.
@@CourtneyReads Yes, it is a long book and it takes a while for the stories to come together!! In my recent video about "classics for beginners", I discussed his book "Travels with Charley"- you might enjoy that one more?! I am planning to read more books by him next year so we will see how my opinions shift!
@@DawnsbookreviewsSteinbeck is a great writer and has an amazing way with words.
@@Scottlp2 I agree!😊
And I haven't read Small Things Like These or Annie John either.
@@CourtneyReads Can't wait to hear your thoughts if you do read them!😍📚😍
I haven't read either To Kill a Mockingbird or I know Why the Caged Bird Sings.
I've seen the movie for Far From the Madding Crowd, but not read the book. Thomas Hardy's writing depresses me for some reason.
Did you like the movie?
@@Dawnsbookreviews I did like the movie pretty well.
@@CourtneyReads Yes, some of his books have depressing endings but Far from the madding crowd is more hopeful!
I haven't read Oliver Twist yet, but I do own it so want to get to it on the sooner side.
I've read The Picture of Dorian Gray, but I don't remember a lot about it. I think I need to reread it at some point.
Bleak House was great! I read it last year.
Ahhh To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my favorite classics!
@@The-Biblio-Nerd Me too!! Currently working on my list of all-time favorites and it will be on it!
Waitinf for your review about it.
@@payamhusseini7054 Yes, my plan is to read it in December! I am also working on a video about my favorite books, so stay tuned!!📚🤗
Gilman is awsome.
Yes!!🎉
Boleáis and horrible?! No thanks
@@marianacaffaro I must say I haven't read that one!😂
Thanks again for recommending this video Dawn. You reminded me I have a copy of Silas Marner buried in a box that I haven’t gotten around to, and I’ll make it a point to do so!
@@RandomReadingPathways Great! Yes, I am planning to re-read it !!
Hey Dawn, we just chatted in the Books are Sick livestream, thanks for recommending your video. From a fellow newbie, I’ll be following your channel!
@@RandomReadingPathways Great! Let's keep the book conversation going!!🤗📚
Wow! You have a great lineup! I love East of Eden and Of Mice and Men, but have not read Grapes of Wrath. I am an Okie, so I really need to get to that. Last one on the shelf is one I need to get to as well. I love Dostoevsky!
@@kellireadsalot Yes, looking forward to Grapes of Wrath too!! Glad to hear you love Dostoyevsky!!❤️📚
I haven’t read Bleak House yet! My favorite is a tie between Nicholas Nickleby and A Tale of Two Cities. I hope to get to Bleak House and Little Dorrit in 2025. I’m currently about 80% through The Pickwick Papers.
Oh yes! There are so many good ones! I am currently reading Our Mutual Friend and I also have Little Dorritt on my 2025 tbr- you see it in the background every time I film!!😂
I love “Travels With Charley: In Search of America” it’s such a beautiful book 🥰📚
@@contemlivros Yes!!! So glad to hear you enjoyed it too!!❤️
Welcome to BookTube! I hope you enjoy the community here. I LOVE thinking about and discussing the psychological aspects of books.
@@BonnieNicoleWrites Thank you!! Oh good, then this will be right up your alley!!🤗
Great!
Thank you for amazing video.
@@payamhusseini7054 Glad you liked it!!
