I am looking forward to some of those.

27:01 I came here for motivation to not dnf the nightingale… everyone raves but I’m on chapter four and I’m bored 🥱

Oh yes reread Harry Potter! I’ve found that it hits so different as an adult. And ok, there are 7 books and some of them are long, but they’re easy reads! Alternative: if you do audiobooks, and if you have Libby for audio loans, the Jim Dale narration of the series is great!

Totally agree about "My Dark Vanessa". All of the dark morally black/grey books I've read haven't made me feel uncomfortable at all like that book did. I loved it though because I think the author did a good job at portraying (or "expressing"? couldn't find the right word 😅) all of the complex emotions and events that goes on in situations like that....I found "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" to be very unique. I felt like I legit watched a biopic (in my mind) after reading that book...I'm excited to put the Kristin Hannah books you've mentioned on my TBRs for next year! And I'm hoping to get into fantasy more. I almost DNF'd ACOTAR, but I enjoyed "Her Soul to Take" so, maybe there's hope 😊

Delaney's in the house!

I really liked Happiness For Beginners, it was my first book by the author. But I am also a sucker for books that have hiking woven into the story. Put me on a trail and I am half way to liking the book already. LOL. (although warning: Something negative happens to an animal in the story. That made me kinda upset.)

Instant like and subscribe from A Little Life. Terrible. Torture porn.

Estou na pg 189 do livro uma vida pequena e concordo que o personagem que mais se destacar e acredito que é o que vai ficar na mente é o Jude

I also didn’t like Ruthless Vows. I DNF right about half way through. I also had high hopes for it.

Divine Rivals was so underwhelming for me because I don’t think Rebecca Ross knew what she wanted it to be. It’s like a high and low fantasy at the same time and it didn’t work. I’m all for a romance that takes place in a fantasy world but I was confused whether it was supposed to be the real world or not and it took me so long to understand that Oath is the city and Cambria is the country. She focused so much on the romance that the world was so underdeveloped and empty when the war and everything was a big part of the story too, not just the romance. Also I felt so deceived because I thought that neither of them knew who they were writing these letters to but Roman knew the entire time it was Iris, like sorry but that was such a sad excuse of an enemies to lovers story (I think I’ve read like 2 good ones)

Nightingale is one of my top 3 favorite/life changing books I’ve ever read. I read it the first time in 2019 and again this year and it had the same impact on me as it did the first time. It’s amazing and I recommend it to anyone.

I agree about A Man Called Ove but loved the movie! I struggled to get through the book, but I love the author so much! It’s funny hearing your opinion on Ruthless Vows because what you said was how I felt about Divine Rivals, I felt so disappointed but wanted to read Ruthless Vows anyways and ended up LOVING it!

I loved the Silent Patient because of that mind blowing twist!

Good Bad Girl was MY FAVORITE Alice Feeny!! 😍

I am so glad you feel the same way about A Man Called Ove!! I thought I was the only one! I tried twice to read it and DNF'd both times! I loved Anxious People, like you, as well!

I love knowing what you don’t like! But I do love an Elin Hilderbrand book myself. I think 5 star weekend was one of my fave books this year.

More than words was also not it for me! I did finish it cause back then I was in a reading stage where I dumbly didn’t allow myself to dnf, but I just could not root for the couple after the mmc said that one foul thing, I was done for, i just couldn’t look past it.

I 100 percent understand what you mean about too many characters and complicated plot lines.

A Man Called Ove was my first Fredrik Backman book and still my favorite. Ove was such a quirky curmudgeon and underneath just a lonely, kind soul. I was pleasantly surprised at Happiness for Beginners. I think I read it because you mentioned it and went in blind and ended up enjoying it.

Well since you asked, I disagree about A Man Called Ove, loved it. I agree about Tessa Bailey, all her books make me cringe, so I'm done trying. Worst book of the year for me was Shark Heart. Merry Christmas!

I know that A Little Life is a well-regarded book, but the only thing I’ve heard about it that stuck with me was that it’s like “suffering porn.” You saying there are too many heavy topics seems to match that. No thank you. And, with respect, I don’t think Elin Hilderbrand is meant to be mystery or thriller. Some of her books have elements of suspense, but that’s not her genre. I liked The Identicals quite a lot. And I will say, many of her characters are deeply unlikeable, and I have nearly rage quit a few because of characters being ridiculous, but then I remind myself that characters don’t have to be likeable if they’re relatable and realistic. And I’ve enjoyed every book of hers that I finished. Definitely not saying you should keep trying, just sharing my opinion 😊 Absolutely nothing wrong with talking about books you don’t like…that’s not being a hater, that’s being honest and genuine. ❤

I definitely got the ick reading the Tessa Bailey book 😩

Oh wow! I loved You, Again 😂

I am sad you didn't like The Man called Ove. It is my favorite by F Backman.

I DNFd You again in the first chapters it was so bad. They were both insufferable. Also, the short story by Tessa Bailey was so bad omg😭 what a let down. No love no Christmas, only smut

Thank you for you. I feel like I finally found someone who likes some of the same kinds of books that I do. I added four of these books that you recommended. You have no idea how picky I am. Glad to have found you.

I completely agree about the Tessa Bailey book. I read the first book in that series and it was really good. But I was cringing almost from the beginning of Merry Ever After. DNF’d that one. Now I’m nervous to do any others in the Under the Mistletoe series.

The tessa bailey one i 100000% agree. I was telling my friend i got the “ick” and i couldn’t pinpoint why….but it was just icky.

I kinda feel the way you do about Happiness For Beginners but I feel that way about all of KC’s books. I feel like not much happens then all of a sudden a huge love profession happens. No development or background.

😂 A Man Called Ove is one of my favorites.

it’s actually kind of refreshing to hear what people didn’t like reading

I like that you made a "Least favorite books" video because it helps me learn your tastes in books.....I DNF'd "A Little Life". Mostly because I think I just wasn't in the mood to read it. But the fact that it was third person, very long, and had many characters didn't help either. I really do want to try to read it again because I want to see the what the big deal is and why some people love it. "Never Never" by Colleen Hoover was the book I rated the lowest this year, which is shocking because I loved every other book I've read of hers....I can't wait to see what you think of the Legacy of Gods books! 🙂

My least favorite books this year was also You shouldn’t have come here Jeanva Rose and the boat house by David Bahr (I think this is one of the worst books I’ve ever read lol).

Totally agree with you again by kate goldbeck i didn't enjoy it should had dnf

Here's my picks Memnoch the devil by Anne rice book 5 in the vampire chronicles Steelstriker by marie lu It happened one summer by tessa bailey Some desperate glory by Emily tesh Same time next summer by annabel Monaghan Flying solo by linda Holmes The love song for ricki wilde by tia Williams Taming 7 by chloe Walsh this book was too short

I love all your videos- even when it’s what not to read!!

And this is why I don’t usually do novellas.

I read the Collected Regrets of Clover because you mentioned it a couple of months ago and I loved it. Such a deep, beautiful book. Definitely shed a few tears. Thank you for sharing!

Time “left in book” is what does it for me. Seeing 5 or so minutes drop off on a single page swipe is awesome. 😂😂😂

OMG! The Last Letter had me ugly crying too!! As a mom it literally killed me! I woke up the next morning after finishing with puffy eyes and the worst headache. Currently reading The Nightingale. I respect your list and will be adding a lot of these to my 2025 TBR 💗📚

Thank you so much for this. This is exactly what I needed.

I’m glad you read Meghann Quinn’s book

I 🥰 How My Neighbor Stole Christmas!

My pick is the wild truth by carine mccandless memoir she's the sister of Christopher mccandless there's a book and movie based on his life called into the wild it was interesting learning about her life before and after her brother passed away and how she manages to break the cycle of dysfunction this book is totally worth a read carine story is an inspiration

Highly suggest Highland Fling by Meghan Quinn! Randomly read it cause it was free and it was so good! Absolutely fell in love with the way she romanticizes the settings in her books. Made me want to leave everything behind and live in a small town in Scotland

I felt the same way about how my neighbor stole Christmas with the length but this video just tipped me over into trying to get it read before Christmas! You should definitely read the dreamland billionaire series, my personal fav is terms and conditions because I love a rough exterior man with a teddy bear interior lol my fav holiday read so far has been when the fake snow falls by heather Garvin, the banter in it had me hooked for being such a small novella and it’s on ku! P.s. I have never related to anything more than the founding father comment lol although you pulled it off!

I would love to see you film yourself reading and put music or voice over great job on the vlog! It was enjoyable!

I felt the same way about the Tessa Bailey novella. It was so disappointing because I normally enjoy her books

THE JEANS OMG HAHAHA like PLZ SIR

Okay, I have seen a lot of hype about The Nightingale. I have read the first 100 pages and I am not being grabbed by this book. What am I missing? I like historical fiction but so far I find this book very mundane.
