I love your channel for I have almost given up on reading and writing due to depression and somehow your suggestions have rekindled the passion within me; I am writing/reading again and somehow all the trauma has shaped me into a deeper narrator. As a horror writer myself, I throughly enjoy your taste and someday dream to send you a book of mine and would be elated to know that you have read it. For now, my friend, I just want to thank you for existing. Sending love your way. Unknowingly, you have saved the most terrifying writer of our times. :)
Love to see you include Lapvona. I attended an author event tonight including Moshfegh and Rachel Kushner in San Francisco actually. It makes me want to reread Lapvona simply for the bleakness of it all!
I read Frankenstein for the first time this year and absolutely loved it! Now i really want to read Orpheus Builds a Girls, so I hope I can get myself a copy soon. Thanks for this amazing list!
In my own thinking about those books I read (and finished) this year, I would be challenged to rank them. I love each one for what it offered & just can't decide. Willow, you do a great job of providing a thoughtful list. You make this process look easy. Thank you for this video and the 'in translation' one. I enjoyed both today.
I loved 'How high we go in the dark', it's on my top 10 of the year as well! Even though it's dark, I'm itching to re-read it 😉🥰 The same goes for 'Our wives under the sea' and I read it after your recommendation, thank you!
Definitely still want to read X! Gonna be reading What Moves the Dead really soon, hopefully this winter! Lapvona sounds pretty interesting! I don't think Nettleblack has been published stateside yet. I'm not that big on high fantasy, so I wasn't really paying attention to Her Majesty's Royal Coven until your video about it. Dang I really really wanna read Our Wives Under the Sea, I'm just waiting for the day it goes on sale.
You are so charismatic and your vibe is so optimistic and fun. I live in a different continent and cannot afford to buy a lot of the books but just listening to you has changed me a lot like refusing to have the herd mentality and just say it like it is .Thank you and well good day !
@@WillowTalksBooks oooooo thanks for making my day with a reply 😃 and thanks for all the books, been reading soo much more since discovering your channel, It’s wonderful.
I’ve been a subscriber to your beautiful channel for a while and this is my first time commenting. I just wanted to say that I love and appreciate you and your book recommendations so much and I’m doing my best to read them all! 😊 btw your thumbnail SLAYS so hard❤
I really want to read Legends and Lattes, but it's super expensive to get it here :( I'm waiting for the audiobook to hopefully show on storytel (where I listened to How high we go in the dark, and many other new releases, which are not translated to Polish yet).

I'm just so excited to buy and read X by Davey Davis now, thank you sis 🤧
Sending this video to my parents for last minute Christmas gift ideas… lol
The way you talk about books fills me with so much joy. I can’t wait to get to some of these 🥰
was waiting for this ♥
Thank you for this video ❤ I’m in so much physical pain right now and this is the perfect distraction. I hope that you feel better soon
I’m so so sorry you’re in pain! Feel better soon 💜
I'm so grateful you've done this list. I forgot about Nettleblack but now you've reminded me and I can make sure I pick it up after Christmas
Yesssss please do!
Got it my basket ready to go once I open some vouchers that I shall apparently be getting. No forgetting this time
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I adore the way you speak about books! 🥰

As always you look so lovely and healthy ❤😊
And thanks for all your hard work I definitely have some new reads here!
Thank you 🥹🥹🥹
HMRC was absolutely brilliant! I can't wait for the sequel. I thought it was a duology but a trilogy? YES, I'll take as many as we can get
I loved 'How high we go in the dark', it's on my top 10 of the year as well! Even though it's dark, I'm itching to re-read it 😉🥰 The same goes for 'Our wives under the sea' and I read it after your recommendation, thank you!
That was a good list thank you, and up goes my reading stack 😁
I want to read Lapvona and Wives Under the Sea. Also that Orpheus Builds a Girl sounds like a juicy read. Have to keep an eye on that one.
I will definitely be adding Our Wives Under the Sea to my list for 2023 👍
Your passion for these books makes me want to read them all… even the ones I’m not interested in 😅

i loved this list! thank you so much for sharing your love for books with us this year.
You read great books. I can't wait to hear about the books you talk about in 2023. 🥰😊
Great list! How High We Go in the Dark is absolutely one of my top faves of the year also. So so good!

Knowing that two of these are under my Christmas tree atm is getting me excited to dive in 😃
Ahhhh that’s so sweet!
