I LOVE Bunny!! I was scared I wasn't going to "get it" so it sat on my shelves for a couple years.. finally read it last year (5⭐!) and did a re-read this year for a Bunny Readathon... and annotated this time! Glad I did that because I caught some deeper things I initially missed. We had fun discussing theories once the Readathon was over (some had read it for the first time, others were re-readers). Honestly even a second re-read would be good, may do that next year. 🐰

omg Middlegame is a 5⭐ all time fave!! I need to continue the ongoing series. least book 2 and 3 now and #4 when it comes out

Jane Eyre is one of the books I'm reading right now! Should finish i. next day or two. 😊 just sub'd!

I didn’t read a dang thing in September 🤣

I would recommend starling house! It’s also a haunting house/suspence Book! I really really enjoyed it, felt like a fever dream!

I’m glad my mum died audiobook was amazing. I highly recommend listening to it. However not in public! You will cry. As she’s talking about her own life the emotion in her voice truly broke my heart in certain scenes. She was choking back tears and as a big fan of icarly it was heartbreaking to know that one of my fave characters was struggling so badly behind the scenes.

I loved The Guest List. I hope you do too 🤞

Excited to see your thoughts on these books!!! Especially I'm Glad My Mom Died - loved that memoir so much

I know someone at my work who is currently reading Legends & Lattes! So far, she told me that she finds it very cute. I think she is still at the begining so probably she will be more engaged to it. I always love seeing your cooking, looks so good! Great video Julie 😀

Really nice video, your voice is lovely to listen to ^^ I'm looking forward to having abother booktuber to watch :>

Unhauls are so fun to watch!!

i got a good one for you i highly recommend! it has fall /Halloween vibes even by the cover of the book it's called The Scarecrow-by Samuel Small

This spreadsheet is literally a work of art. I thoroughly enjoyed your tour!!

First time watcher - that's a great list. A cozy but still creepy book with autumnal vibes that I really enjoyed recently is Crow Folk by Mark Stay.

About to start dead cat tail assassins - I generally enjoy shorter books but agree that sometimes more pages are needed to make it fully fleshed out

Sing Unburied Sing sounds really good. Thanks.

omg i am thrilled to be included in this and THRILLED that you enjoyed a good girl’s guide!! that was an unexpected favorite for me, and i’m glad you had a good time with it as well💗

Fun idea! You have such incredible energy. I do this every year to find a new fav fantasy,I look at the books everyone is talking about. I found Will of the Many and it was awesome!

Amazing! I don't usually start a new tracker mid-year but I'm definitely thinking about starting this one.

I was in a mood for watching something book-related and yt recced me your video and!!! Instant follow, we have a pretty decent overlap in read titles and for those that are new to me: who am I to say no to expand my tbr even further 😂 I'm looking forward to your future videos and am excited to have your older ones to catch up with 💖 (Also omg HEAVENLY TYRANT, it's my most awaited book, I have read "Iron Widow" almost in one sitting and got killed by that cliffhanger, I can't wait for it to come out!!!)

we love pride month vlogs <3

This video just randomly popped on my feed and I'm so glad! We have so many authors/books in common! Thanks for some new titles.... you might just have convinced me to try Will of Many again

Omg yes!! Yellow face was so so good 💕💕 great tag video love 😘

This is so much fun, I'll be trying to join! I think it has a lot of room to find new favorites, for sure!

Small retraction: Masquerade is an alternate history historical fiction (as described by the author). I still stand by that it’s not a fantasy, but I would put it in speculative fiction rather than realistic.

The Paris Apartment sounds interesting. I might add that to my TBR 🙂

I hope you like Here We Go Again-it has a lot of heart and wonderful relationships beyond the romance. How the Word is Passed is the one boom I wish everyone would read-so glad you loved it too. I visited Whitney Plantation recently and it was amazingly well done- I highly recommend it for anyone traveling to Louisiana.

finally watching this!! lovely to see your trip to San Fran! you're making me want to pick up a dowry of blood - i just recently got a copy!

Best wishes with what you choose to read. I'm currently reading the Count of Monte Cristo. I might be some time!

Work

A great book series for Starstruck fans who want that similar Pretchett/Adams style of comedy with a slightly more cynical edge: the Jacques McKeown trilogy by Yahtzee Croshaw, aka Will Save The Galaxy For Food, Will Destroy The Galaxy For Cash, and the upcoming final entry Will Leave The Galaxy For Good. The stories are set in a future where interstellar travel has been made redundant by quantum tunnelling (instantaneous teleportation portals), and the protagonist is an unemployed star pilot who is forced by circumstances into impersonating Jacques McKeown, the pseudonym of a bestselling author whose works are a hagiographic melange of various real star pilots and space heroes, which leads to various hijinks.

I'm surprised you didn't mention the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy when talking about Starstruck Odyssey, it's a classic that I would highly recommend. Not sure which specific series you would tie it to but I'd recommend The Lies of Locke Lamora if you haven't read it. It's got found family, magic, and sweeping heist akin to Six of Crows but I wouldn't say it was a Fantasy High comp title.

You missed the obvious choice for Starstruck Odyssey, Starstruck by Ellaine Lee. Admittedly it's a graphic novel but it still counts as a book.

I think the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy would also be a good match for anyone who likes a starstruck odyssey.

When you said fantasy high, I was like hmmm which one would be the same themes and immeaditly thought of percy jackson as well.

I have been meaning to start reading again because Dimension 20 has swallowed all of my free time as of recent. I will be following your recommendations closely

I have been meaning to start reading more books again because Dimension 20 has swallowed my free time. I will be following the recommendations closely

Was looking for new books to read, tysm for this video❤❤❤

I think it looks good just the way it is. The ring light is usually too artificial.

Idk why but whenever I see your eyes it reminds me of the Mistborn series.

I've been getting a lot of smaller booktube recommendations the past while and none have really clicked, but this channel is super high quality. Subscribed and I hope you keep posting!

This is amazinggg. From a fellow data nerd, can't wait to dig into this template. However I was wondering if you can make a multi-year version or educate us on how to do yearly comparisons like you did in your previous video, the one comparing data from 3 years. Thanks so much!! Well done!

I read Dracula for the first time last year. Now I feel I should read Dowery of Blood. My favourite reads from 2023 are: The Splinter in the Sky by Kemi Ashing-Giwa, The Tea Planter's Wife by Dinah Jefferies, NPCs by Drew Hayes, Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, War of the Whales: A True Story by Joshua Horwitz, The Burning 1 & 2 by Evan Winter, The Neptune Project by Polly Holyoke, The Soulmate Equation by Christina Lauren

What were your favorite books of 2023?

I participated in freezathon and my december reads were all over the place bc I was trying to complete some reading goals (and mostly failed lmao), but it was really fun going over the prompts every time I finished a book and trying to see what could fit. I hope that it comes back at the end of the year!

I love how detailed this video was! The Way of Kings is the longest that I read last year and the longest book I’ve ever read

so glad to see you gush over lovelight farms!!!
