why was the curious case of benjamin button movie such a vibe when we were younger. I also watched it like, once a week for a period of time as a teen 😂

More people need to do this!

On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous was in my top reads of ‘23 . It’s beautifully rendered 📖🪱💚

Loved Our Wives Under The Sea and recently read her Private Rites and loved that too. Cool concept for a video - I clicked ASAP 📖 🪱 💚

Fun video but I have no answers of my own off the top of my head. I have however been crawdad hunting as a child helping my grandfather catch bate for fishing. You get yourself a stick with a forked end, go find a creek, and get your feet wet trapping these helpless creatures in your forked stick.

What a delightful, creative video concept! I enjoyed “Brideshead Revisited” too - a complex, deep novel. “ The Talented Mr Ripley” is another personal favourite, I really believe that the book anticipates many distasteful trends that have become so prevalent on social media in terms of image, social deception and the obsession with the superficial world. The Matt Damon/ Jude Law film is also great fun with a truly exceptional cast. I’ve lust bought “Ripe” for my kindle- it sounds great! Get well soon & please keep up the wonderful work!

what a fun video idea!!! Love it :D

You contextualize and discuss books very in depth and intellectually (;

When Katerina posts I smile❤ I’m sending you a plethora of love and a great 2025!

Such a great list for winter ❄️ I’ve read most of these…Crime and Punishment, Catcher, and The Road are in my top books of all time. Eileen is on my TBR and glad you enjoyed it. I don’t think I’m a Keegan fan after reading Small things and Foster. I’m re-reading Rebecca and My Cousin Rachel as Daphne is one of my all-time favorite authors for a slow burn, haunting, dark days, winter read. The Frozen River is an excellent winter read for those who like historical fiction and the audiobook is also a fantastic listen. Happy holidays and thanks as always for your excellent content!!

Gilly-add :) Thanks for this, you did a great job.

omg finally someone who hates the same popular books as I do!! I'm tired of pretending daisy jones and the six wasn't the biggest waste of potential I've ever seen. I'm a massive fleetwood mac fan and honestly I've seen better stevie nicks fanfics on ao3 than this book same for this is how you lose the time war. someone please tell the author you can't do fantasy worldbuilding using purely convoluted metaphors

A safe paradise for bibliotaphs.❤

Hi iam a begginer could you please suggest me few novella's that could help me build reading habbit thank you 😊 📚

Lebanon had the first snow last week of november too 😮

excellent suggestions,new sub!

The road REALLY. What a grim depressing book

You are giving black power ranger

You are so right crime and punishment is soo well matched with winter. I feel like Russian literature in general just fits with the darker winter months. Something about Russians and the cold...

The onset of winter is certainly an ideal opportunity for reflection and undertaking a review of the past year. It’s a time for taking stock. Russian literature is made for winter! “Crime and Punishment” is one of my all time favourite books - it’s a compelling mix of plot and philosophy. By any chance, are you planing on reading “The Brothers Karamazov” soon? Great video! Thank you!

Yesss I'm reading crime and punishment write now just got it few days back 😭❤

read Small Things Like These last year and got Foster immediately but I’d been saving it for December. also, try Brothers Karamazov if you haven’t read it yet, it’s veryyy introspective 🫶🏽

Such a good list ❤ Eileen is next on my TBR to read in the run up to Christmas . Also can't wait to read Small things like these. I read Crime & Punishment in September after wanting to read it for years and it was so bleak so I feel like it might be even more depressing in winter !!!! 😅

I was just thinking Eileen oddly fits the season. I still need to check out the movie, and the Small Things Like These film as well. I haven't read Our Wives Under the Sea or All the Lovers in the Night yet. My big winter read this month is Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin.

Love this video!! You’re inspiring me to finally tackle Dostoyevsky hahaha, maybe this winter… Also gotta say The Road is probably my least favourite book of all time 😂 it’s always interesting to hear how it worked for other ppl

I love this list. Thank you! Love your vids. ❤

You are adorable ☺️. Mighty morphin black power ranger 🤭. Keep up the awesome work/vids 🙌🏽

me: (lives in a tropical country) also me: “i need this winter book recs”

The more you talk about "The road", the sooner I want to read it, but no I have to finish the book I'm currently in the middle of and save "The Road" until the end of the month/beginning of next year in exam season. The tension keeps on rising for reading this book. Now I only hope I would like it as much as you did. Will let you know about it!

Some of my favorite wintertime books are Lonesome Dove; Pillars of the Earth; Nos4a2 (great for christmas)

I live in arkansas, us so our weather is very screwed up. We usually get snow in February. December might be warm.lol😂

nails looking on point

Just added a couple to the Amazon wish list.

Brightly Shining by Ingvild Rishoi is a short 177 page read with the vibe and emotion of a Claire Keegan book.

Another wintery book is Ice by Anna Kavan. It's a surrealist novel written in the Sixties about a post-nuclear apocalypse world buried in an eternal winter, similar to McCarthy's book!

I appreciate that the thumbnails of all 4 seasonal reccs line up perfectly. Right left right left. The devil's (read:excellence) is in the details.

I do not like the cold. Thank you for your recommendations.

Geez, queen of darkness. I thought you'd mention at least one uplifting escapist read, like Bridget Jones' Diary. Very well then, The Distant Lover by Christoph Hein will freeze your heart some more.

A perfect book for winter would be : Miracle in the Andes (those who know ,know 😅)

I am getting back to using mobiles less and reading books more .

Only 2-3 months ago i was on a draught ,and couldnt find any good books to read. Now i have 6 whole big series : ( game of thrones , Storm light archive , malazan the rise of the fallen , shogun , dune and the girl with the dragon tattoo (and its sequels )). + A fair few number of other books.

I have yet to read Wicked. I heard that it can be convoluted. The only one I read here is The Hunger Games.

I’m reading Wicked now. I already knew it was completely different than the musical because my daughter has read it. So far I would also give it 3 stars. I tried watching the series Sharp Objects but gave up after a couple of episodes as it was dragging…my library has the book so I may try it after your review.

if you’re looking for another book relating to grief can i recommend “they’re going to love you” by meg howrey? i picked it up randomly this year and it’s unexpectedly become my favourite book like i am telling every single person i speak to to read it lol, it’s honestly amazing but i haven’t seen anyone talking about it! the way it explores grief and the feelings of regret when someone you have a strained relationship with becomes ill was just so emotionally devastating

"I don't know why I get so freaked outby the passage of time but here we are" SO REAL.

You should try reading the stormlight archive !!!!

This my thing with the thriller I always always know the twist but I don't think this effect, the surprise is important but I guess the suspense is more important, I would love to read novel where you told from the first page who is the Psychopath and then tell me what happened for him to reach this point

I'm so glad you are recovering after your surgery.

A half star - oof but sounds warranted
