These are great recommendations!

Hello Nikita. Coming to watch.

I recently discovered your channel while browsing for BIPOC fiction recs and you've just gained a follower! would love to see you on an online book club as well!

Thank you for these suggestions, added a few to my ever growing TBR! Greetings from Montreal :)

Thank you for the recs!

I downloaded Pachinko way back when it came out but haven't read it yet. I did however read the Bangalore Detective Club finally on your recommendation. I was kind of luke warm in the beginning but as I continued to read, I just fell in love with the characters and their relationships. I will definitely continue the series ... so thank you for the recommendation.

I also didn't super love The Song of Achilles! It was okay but not worth the hype, in my opinion. When I read it, I was expecting something life changing and super emotional but sadly it wasn't that for me. I'm happy to see someone else have a similar opinion to mine because I felt like the odd one out!

Love these! :)

I would love to add 4 more books to this 1) Upward spiral by Alex Corb for depression 2) Rewire your anxious brain by Catherine and Elizabeth for anxiety 3) Never enough by Judith Grisel for addiction 4) How to build a healthy brain by Kimberly Wilson

Came here from an ad just to tell you that feminism is dead and you're pathetic.

Enid Blyton is my favorite

Glad to hear that you enjoyed The Thursday Murder Club. The series just gets better imo -- the most recent is the best yet!

I wasn't planning to read Funny Story because I do tend to like more serious/angsty romance books but the good reviews on it are making me wonder if maybe I should 👀 The hype around Emily Henry's books always makes me nervous, even though I did like PWMOV (I've only read Beach Read aside from that but didn't like it)

Jesse Sutanto is the best. Will have to give the next in the Aunties Series a go! I keep waiting for Carolyn Huyhn's new release, but from what i can tell it's been delayed a few times. Thanks for the great video!

First of all. You have a BEAUTIFUL name. Secondly, thank you so much for the recommendations. ❤

Thank you please suggest any interesting female dominant Book ❤😊

Oh I missed this!

Loved Bandit Queens! Looking forward to Parini Shroff's next book! I have had Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows on my tbr forever-- I really need to pick it up soon! And yes-- would love a Part II

Adding all the books to my TBR, btw love lessons in chemistry. one of my fave book ever <3

-rep books create division and racial conflicts.

Great recap! Jaded by Ela Lee was my favorite

I really liked Thursday Murder Club .. it isn't twee like a lot of other cozy mysteries. Also, it gets better and better as you go (but DO read them in order). I think you should start with this one then move on to The Last White Man.

I don't buy into the belief that you SHOULD read something or, worse, SHOULD like something. We have different tastes for tropes, writing, genres, etc. I HATED The Midnight Library -- talk about being on the other side of popularity. I thought it was predictable and juvenile. Clearly I am in the minority lol. I say read what catches your attention or sparks your interest-- embrace what you love and move on from what you don't. If everyone on BookTok or RUclips liked the same things, there's be no reason to watch all the creators!

I think we all get slumps sometimes but they pass for keen readers. I had one for a couple of months but now my enthusiasm is back and I cant get enough of reading!

Nothing is really sparking me lately-- nothing I am reading and nothing I am seeing. I think it is time to pull out a cozy mystery! 📚

Oh I needed this video!! I read My Roommate is a Vampire that you showed in a video, it was good but not too adult like but I still enjoyed it. I enjoyed reading Yellow Wife recently. Looking forward to looking up some of these titles you shared. I like romance but I also really enjoy mystery and thrillers too all year around. Or fiction on women getting independent like the first one you showed. Currently reading Ghosters. The first thriller you shared seemed nice, gonna check it out.

Ive been in a bit of a reading slump myself .. no true duds but it is feeling like every book just goes on longer than needed. I don't know if it is me ... or the books LOL.

Great selection of books ... Honor and Gold Digger both sound interesting and I have also always been fascinated with Pompeii so Day of Fire sounds great too! Happy reading!

I was intrigued by A Haunting in the Arctic but on the fence -- it still sounds interesting but I'd have been swayed more if you'd given it 4.5 to 5 stars lol. We'll see. I may still pick it up. Black Cake has been on my TBR for over a year-- just waiting for the "right time" for a complex family drama. Glad you enjoyed!

Hi Nikita, I've been binging your book reviews. I love your enthusiasm although I don't read fiction much. It's nice to experience the joy vicariously through you. As a fellow therapist, I truly enjoy your book selections re mental wellness and psychology.

Thank you for these recommendations.

I agree with this excellent book selection. Subscribing to your channel. Thank you.

A Haunting in the Arctic sounded interesting ... until the present timeline. It loses me with a tiktok creator/explorer lol. I'll keep an open mind and wait to see what you think! For January reading, I usually try to keep it to cozy-ish short to mid-length books.... I have a chunky one coming up at the end of the month so I think I'll choose a couple of short and cozy titles for Feb!

Great reviews! I love Gabor Mate and enjoyed The Myth of Normal, but it is SO long that i didn't finish it. Just finished up A Disapperance in Fiji- Nilima Rao which had a positive review from Sujata Massey. It was a great read....covers indentured servitude and is going to be a series

I havent looked too deep into what is coming out in 2024 yet-- but I do plan to start the Bangalore Detective Club in Jan so maybe I will catch up by the time The Nest of Vipers releases!

you are just so eloquent- would love to see you go through tiktok books and say if there worth it or not (I love the way you say that you know it’s gone viral but it’s still good 😭)

Hey Nikita.. as the year comes to a close, I wanted to say that I've loved watching your channel grow. You have evolved as a reviewer and become so comfortable on camera! Well done! Looking forward to your 2024 content!

I loved Vera Wong too-- and you know there are a growing number of great books with women in their 50s on up. Especially in mystery and Literary Fiction. As I approach 60 (April), I am here for it! I don't read as much Non-Fiction as Fiction but I think the thing about NF is that there are so many topics, it is harder to navigate and find others who enjoy the same topics. Oh.. and I really need to get to the Lost Apothecary.. and well, my list of need to get to's is getting longer and longer lol.

YAY a book video. I read only a few books this year but really enjoyed 'Verity', 'Ugly Love' by Colleen Hoover and 'Breaking Love' by MJ Summers. I finally got 'The Ex Hex' so will read that this month along with 'The Chateau' by Jacyln Goldis, 'My Favorite Half-night stand' by Christina, Lauren and currently am reading '8 Rules of Love' by Jay Shetty (its really good so far). You mentioned a lot of good books, will have to check some out for 2024. Happy Holidays babe!

What was your favourite book of 2023?? 📚

I read Three Holidays and A Wedding last week and I quite liked it! The sister was definitley awful but I did like that the fight was a good moment for Maryam if that makes sense. I think it had a lot good moments in general and it felt very accepting. The one other character that kind of bothered me was Josh once he and Anna got together, it felt like every sentence he said to her was soooo corny and he was constantly fawning over her (and tbh their story felt like it had too many secrest for my liking).

I checkout the goodreads nominees every year only to remember that I don't usually reads new books immediatley, and I do tend to stay away from a good percent of the popular romances and fantasies because they are so talked about and aren't my cup of tea lol. I'm also picky with memoirs/biographies, definitley not picking up too many of those. I mainly tend to go for people who have to do with social justice, or famous people with interesting lives/who are good story tellers (Michelle Obama, Viola Davis and Matthew McConaughey for example). I heard all kinds of things about Britney's biography but I'm a little hesitatnt

I havent read ANY of the most popular books lol ... I do have a few (maybe 2?) on my TBR but as you said, "most popular" doesn't mean good! I don't read romance ... not interested in celebrity memoirs ... don't follow booktok. So yeah, the list is pretty meh for me. I will read Yellow Face and probably a few of the thrillers eventually. Until then, I am happy with most of my own selections :)

Thanks for the video! I'm on library waitlist for Three Holidays and a Wedding. Hopefully i will get it before the season is over 😄🙃 I want to finish Happy - Celina Baljeet Basara.It's enjoyable, but the style is so different than what i am used to i have had to take several breaks

You had lots of fun reading this past month! I put Daisy Darker away because another booktuber hated it/DNFd but I think I'll give it a try after all. Also need to get to the Bangalore Detective .. it's been waiting for me for too long! Unfortunately I did not take to The Midnight Library at all -- but i clearly in the minority there lol.

I enjoyed the vlog -- my personal preference: I don't really enjoy much b-roll unless it is out and about with little glimpses of your community or whatever. So sorry, I feel like I am intruding and being a little creepy to watch someone (anyone) read for an extended time. May just be me-- but it applies to all vlogs-- not just yours. (Note: I only share this because you asked and because you are developing your own vlog style... normally I'd have kept it to myself)
