The seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo was so amazing! I’m still thinking about it even months after I finished it, you really do get a connection to the characters
They way I literally could NOT put down the 7 husbands of Evelyn Hugo when I started it. I highly recommend 'A good girl's guide to murder' by Holly Jackson and 'You'll be the death of me' by Karen McManus if you like mysteries but the characters still have a lot of personality and are really relatable.
The way she explains each book without giving it away is amazing and I literally went to the store and bought three books from this video and I’m going to read them..
i read 6 books in 2021 but i’m just starting to get back into reading. i used to love reading when i was younger but fell off of it for the past few years. my goal for 2022 is 18 books. my favorite books i read in 2021 were It Ends With Us, The Love Hypothesis, and November 9!
You need to read a thousand boy kisses! You will ball your eyes out. Also highly recommend hopeless & all your perfects by Colleen Hoover and after you read those, Finding Cinderella and Finding perfect!! They all tie together
I literally just finished The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo yesterday and I am still so speechless. It’s so well written easy to read and the plot the story the characters. Not only did the author almost constantly maintain the suspicion of the story the development of the characters throughout the story was so good. I was constantly on the edge. I finished it so fast. That’s how good it was. Started the year very strong. Hope to read more books this good. This book will most definitely be in my top 5 for the coming time!
The silent patient is one of my all time favorite books! Since you enjoyed that I would also recommend The Maidens by the same author. I think I read the last 3/4 of that book in one day bc I was so hooked
My favorite book of 2021 is probably "The Song of Achilles." It broke my heart into a million pieces and I've been crying about it since I finished it. I have a soft spot for greek mythology and homosexual-romance books so this was the perfect read for me! My native language isn't English, but I find that English books just sound more "poetic" and so sometimes it was a little hard for me to read, but I understood everything and love the storyline endlessly. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves sad, tragic but absolutely beautiful written books!!
I’ve lost my love for reading when I was younger; this video popped up in my recommended and now I feel really inspired to start reading again 🙏🏼 thank you
Favorite books read this year: 📗 The Night Circus (fiction) 📘 Becoming Bulletproof (biography with lots of good tips and take always) 📙 A Gentleman in Moscow (fiction) Going to start the new year reading The Seven Husbands. Thank you for the recommendations and those who commented backing up that rec!
I’m so fascinated by the amount of people that loved Verity. I thought it was terrible. It was so absurd and there’s one absolutely too unrealistic to even suspend disbelief thing I can’t get passed. I can’t get the hype.
I’m rlly mad because I bought song of Achilles with such high hopes for it and I just didn’t enjoy it, it’s beautifully written but I just didn’t understand why I didn’t seem to enjoy the book as everyone else seemed to
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe is SO good, it's a chill book, a few serious topics, but it was a one day read for me. Friends to lovers trope, and I just got the next book (it's a duology) and am super excited to read it. If you're looking for a wholesome and easy read, definitely check it out sometime
@@juliam_x super cool! the second book i just finished and LOVED it, but i read the first one in the summer and wasn't in dire need to read the next one (i didn't even know there was one) so u can fs read it alone, but if u are up for it, the second one is worth the time :)
if you’re interested in a realistic fiction history book about WW2, the things we cannot say is SOOOOOOOO good! it also alternates between present and pass and it’s a story between the granddaughter (present) and her grandmother that was a jew in WW2! it’s an amazing story
I read but she makes me want to read all of those books. The way she explains them is impeccable. I just wanted to thank you because man you have a way of making me want to read when I'm in a slump!
The Silent Patient, Verity and Evelyn Hugo are ready to be read in 2022. I bought them in English as I prefer to read in English instead of my own language. Happy 2022!
i don’t even remember the last time i’ve willingly read a book but i’m still watching this video because i love ava so much. your my literal favorite youtuber
I wasn't planning on reading "Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" and I didn't actually know what it was about but now it's on my to-read list. Thanks! Loved the recommendations
my favorite reads of this year were all memoirs (Crying in H Mart, Know My Name, Educated). very heavy books but super impactful if you’re up for reading them!
My favourite books of 2021 book recomendations: ✨ *Pachinko by Min Jin Lee- follows a fictional Korean family in Japan during the Japanese occupation of Korea. It is so moving and the characters and story has followed me throughout all of 2021. (Historical fiction) *Every Last word by Samantha Mc Allister- a really well written YA story of a girl with OCD and a poet club. The characters are so relatable and you will find yourself falling in love with the love interest ;) * We Were Liars- YA story about a rich white family who spends their summer on a private island. The family has many secrets but all seems to go great until one summer there's an accident. We follow the main girl through the story while she tries to discover what happened and why no one wants to tell her. * Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein- also historical fiction. Follows two women who are best friends and both fight in world war two (in different ways). One of them is captured by the Gestapo (no spoiler) and has promised to write down everything she knows about the British military. This book has so many turns and twists- a real page turner Read them! haha
I read 95 books this year and I didn’t even have that goal I just started binge reading lol. My goal is 80 next year so I don’t go crazy or fall off reading. My favorite book was city of girls by Elizabeth Gilbert and it got me reading again I think you’d like it because it’s a New York setting
I finally read Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, and now I understand the hype. I absolutely did not see so many things coming. Not the true love, not the last part either! It was a lovely book.
I’d HIGHLY recommend reading The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood. It’s my favorite book that I’ve ever read at the moment and one of those books that left me “wanting to cut off off my right big toe to read for the first time again”. It’s a total rom com, had me laughing out loud while binge read it in barnes & noble for 4 hours with no breaks. Basically, Olive is a student in a Stanford PhD biology program and she hasn’t had the best luck with relationships. She lied to her friend about having a new boyfriend and when she sees that she’s unexpectedly at the lab while Olive is supposed to be on a date, she kisses the first stranger she sees to cover up. Turns out that stranger was the most “ruthless and harsh” professor in the biology department Adam Carlsen. He agrees to start fake dating to continue the act up with Olive’s friends and then it all goes from there. It has some of my all time FAVORITE tropes and, Olive, the main character is the cutest and nerdiest (in a good way) person ever and it’s a nice contrast to Adam’s personality. Idk I can go on for HOURS on how much I adore this book 🤩💗
Ava!!!! I love your book videos so much. You are a big part of why I got back into reading this year 🤍🤍 also, you have to read the great alone by Kristin Hannah!! It’s quite a commitment (550 pages) and it’s a bit dark but it grabs you and doesn’t let go and I think you would love it!
I read 40 books last year so hoping to hit 50 this year! My favorite that I’ve read so far this year is either “Where the Crawdads Sing” or “House in the Cerulean Sea”.
i just read Verity last week and it completely caught me off guard it’s so good. like left me staring at a wall w my jaw on the floor lol. i made the mistake of finishing it at 1 am and couldn’t sleep that night or the following night 😅 it’s not scary but rather unsettling is a better way to describe it. amazing 10/10 recommend
My favorite book this year was definitely It Ends With Us, it had me shook for so long after I read it!! Colleen Hoover's other books are definitely on my to-read list after reading that book
It is a very good book. I didn't really like other books by Collen Hoover..but It ends with us is awesome. It's been a year since I read it and still love it
im reading the seven husbands of evelyn hugo right now & it's so beautiful!! one of my favourite books is before the coffee gets cold and i would highly recommend!! thank you for all your hard work & lovely videos this, they bring so much positivity
oofff i DEVOURED “one of us is lying” by karen m. mcmanus! such an easy read, so exciting, many plottwist and it’s really well written! totally got me out of my reading-slump! currently reading the sequel and i bought 2 of her other books, so excited to read them!
it made me so happy to see The Silent Patient in one of these videos because it is honestly one of my absolute favourites. Although it is written for a more mature audience, I found it really easy to get into because the flow was amazing and the story kept me hooked throughout. I highy highly recommend!!!!!
My favorite book this year was "el amor en los tiempos del cólera" (I think there is an English version) by the Nobel Prize-winning Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez; It made me cry from the first chapter. Actually I think it was the only book i finished this year lol.
i have read about half of these and loved them all! you have great taste in books:) i’ve read 36 books this year and my goal for next year is to read 50. also… if anyone is a fan of audiobooks, the daisy jones and the six audiobook is incredible! there is a full cast of narrators, and each character has their own narrator.
This is exactly the kind of book rec video I've been looking for. Will be looking into this channel more. I really wanted a book rec video that can give me descriptions that make me want to read them. Not just titles or one liners.
A recommendation: A Piece of Cake by Cupcake Brown. It’s a memoir, but it’s seriously so good & eye opening. I read it when I was in 8th grade, I’m 23 and I still think about that book at least once or twice a week.
If you haven't already, I recomend reading Normal People by Sally Rooney. It is by far my favorite book of 2021 and it is a Hulu show so definitely check that out.
Verity also ruined my mind for 3 days after! You definitely need to discuss it with others who have read it. I still have no idea if I’m team maniscript or team letter LOL the second best read of the year… the other one was it ends with us. Thank you for recommending this author!!!
I know a lot of people said this but if you want to start reading start with “it end with us” it’s freaking AMAZING!!! That book is what started my book obsession, my book obsession just started like 1-2 months ago and I already own like 40 books kinda thankful but also hate it end with us cuz when I’m obsessed with sth i spend so much money on them
Okay but I LOVE the way you give the little snapshot with the cover and title and everything it makes it so much easier to save the books and find them, I wish more ppl did this
I love that you posted this today! Especially since today was the first time I stepped foot into a library after 6 years!!! Can’t wait to go back tomorrow to get my library card and take out some of these books 🤎
We were liars was my favorite book I've read in the past couple of months. Rated 11/10 it was soo good, definitely dark and deep. But you will not want to put it down!
Okay I'm buying 4 of these books right now ! It would be 5 but I already have Verity. And I'm team letter !!!! I love how you talk about the books without giving too much away, such a great video, thank you 😄
im so excited to read daisy jones! i've read seven husbands and malibu rising and absolutely loved both of them(literally read them in a week lmao) my goal for this year is 10 books but i hope i get to surpass it 💗
My favorite book I read this year is One of us is lying . Very interesting . It slowly unravelled each of the character's stories . Read it if you haven't already . P.S Love you , Ava 💓
Just finished verity and I’m team manuscript for sure!!! UGH ITS SO GOOD i finished it in 1 day and it became my favorite book of all time I can’t stop thinking about it 😫
My top 5 star reads definitely would be "Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" - that book was so easy to read: extraordinary storyline, the whole interview form was a genius idea!! I just love it
Book Recommendations!! I read "The Vanishing Half" by Britt Bennett earlier this year and it was fascinating. It displays an interesting perspective on race and was such a great read. Also "The Midnight Library" by Matt Haig. I can't remember if you reviewed that one in a previous video but I just finished it and I simply cannot stop thinking about it.
it's not a single book but the Red Eye series is absolutly phenomenal and each book is a different story so you don't need to worry about continuing with a super long story! Highly recommend!!! 💕
love love LOOOVVEEE this video, always adore your book videos. definitely gonna look into some of these. my fav book that i read this year was daisy jones and the six, SUCH A GOOD BOOK. so fun to hear you talk about it. also: THAT TOP IS SO CUTE. the color is so pretty on you wow. okay that's all i love u
Three groundbreaking recommendations of mine: 1. Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe 2. Crying in H-Mart 3. Memorial (Bryan Washington) Three great books that bring up important topics and have you left thinking about life, society and give inspiration
I absolutely loved '7 Husbands' and 'Daisy Jones & The Six'...easily 2 of my favorite books of all time !!! I read Daisy Jones and The Six over a year ago and I still think about these characters. I'll have to check out some of your other recommendations
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is literally the best book I have ever read. I read it last summer and I still think about the characters and the plot. I haven't met anyone who isn't obsessed with it. It is SO GOOD, you have to read it.
loved seven husbands of evelyn hugo - will definitely have to check out some of taylor jenkins reid's other novels! also, if you really enjoyed atomic habits i would also recommend reading tiny habits by bj fogg. for me, tiny habits was basically everything i thought atomic habits would cover and i've been able to actively apply a lot more concepts from tiny habits than atomic habits!!
My recommendation for you is: girl, missing. Its the first book in a trilogy! Its one of the best books i have tead this year! It is fiction and mystery. The second book is also really good although i haven't read the third yet!
My favourite book of this year was 'My Body' by Emily Ratajkowski, it's a raw and candid piece about her experiences in the modelling industry and the sexism and misogyny that women have to face on a daily basis. I felt seen and heard in this book whilst simultaneously empathised with her and realised my own sexist thoughts that were subconsciously there such as believing that beautiful women don't really have more to offer than their face (I'm so embarrassed by this lmao, but this has changed!! thanks to this book). I highly recommend it!!!
My #1 book recommendation is “velocity” by Dean Koontz!! It’s so fast-paced (like “one sitting” type of reading) yet detailed, and it’s the book that got me into reading again after yearssss of not due to school. I read it in like 4 days lol, it definitely leaves you thinking about it for some time.
I love ur chill vlogs too but im A FAN of ur book vids 😍 i got into reading real recently (like when pandemic hit) bc i always felt lik a slow reader or just couldn’t get into it. But seeing the way u pace urself is inspiring and ur book recs always gets me excited to read! Thanks for sharing this part of ur life with us :)) happy happy new year, ava!!
Based on the books you've read so far (quite a few of which I've read before and really like), I think you would really like "Dear America, Notes from an Undocumented Citizen". It's a memoir by a Filipino immigrant who was brought to the US as a small kid. It goes through his sturggles to find a place in the United States and get citizenship.
I see The Song of Achilles on your bookshelf in the back and I just finished it today!! Probably the best book I’ve ever read and the connection I felt to the characters was so strong; i highly recommend :)
so apparently i was into books like a few years back but then fell out. got back into reading again, this time with a PASSION and my goals for next year is to read atleast 30 books. I’m taking it slow and will gradually increase the number bc i don’t wanna pressurise myself in reading. my fav books from 2021 were legend series and shatter me.
Gonna start very small with my book goals because it's been awhile since I've finished one. So for 2022 I wanna just finish at least 2 books 📚 thank you for the recommendations I'll definitely pick one of these up
my LAST VIDEO of 2021!! what were your FAVE reads this year?? 🤍
It ends with us and Klara and the sun and some Arabic novels.❤️❤️
it ends with us! ninth house, heartless and the housekeeper and the professor
it ends with us!!
the book thief by markus zusak :)
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
The seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo was so amazing! I’m still thinking about it even months after I finished it, you really do get a connection to the characters
Same for me tbh
For real! Even my 50 years old mom read it and was amazed 😍
My favourite book of this year and 2022 is the book thief 584 pages totally worth it
Felt like gay fan fiction that a 12 year old came up with so I beg to differ
Yessss
I love seven husbands of evelyn hugo, it’s written so well, such a good story line, it’s one of my favorites
Omg same, i just finished it recently and I just can’t move on… also house in the cerulean sea is awesome too it’s vv wholesome
I FINISHED IT TODAY ITS SO GOOD OMFG
@@yvette8415 SAME LOL THE ENDING
i got it for christmas so i’ll probably read it soon and i’m excited!!
it's not written well 💀💀 monique chapters 🫣 but i love how strong and complex of a character evelyn. i loved it to pieces.
They way I literally could NOT put down the 7 husbands of Evelyn Hugo when I started it. I highly recommend 'A good girl's guide to murder' by Holly Jackson and 'You'll be the death of me' by Karen McManus if you like mysteries but the characters still have a lot of personality and are really relatable.
the good girls guide to murder.. I can't its sooo good!
All of Karen McManus' mysteries are so fun! Read them all on audiobook and really enjoyed!
Literally Good Girls Guide to Murder is my favorite book I read this year 👋😌
I read a good girls guide to murder in two days, i couldnt put it down :)
Talking abt Karen McManus euhm eeuhm….ONE OF US IS LYING,.
Oki I’m out.
The way she explains each book without giving it away is amazing and I literally went to the store and bought three books from this video and I’m going to read them..
Update?
which three?
I read over 70 books this year, I’m super proud of myself
My goal for this year is 70 books! Good for you!
Nice work! That’s a big accomplishment!
omg thats crazy! im proud of you!!
wow
Oh wow could you recommend some of your favs pls 🥰 ?
i read 6 books in 2021 but i’m just starting to get back into reading. i used to love reading when i was younger but fell off of it for the past few years. my goal for 2022 is 18 books. my favorite books i read in 2021 were It Ends With Us, The Love Hypothesis, and November 9!
Do you have a TBR for 2022?? Or are you just planning to read what you pick up?
Good luck🤍🤍!!!
WHOA same with everything you said I read 6 books in 2021 and my goodreads goal now is 18 lol i'm tripping
yay! good luck :)
Same here !!! I have started reading again in the lockdown. And my goal for this year is to read 24 books.
You need to read a thousand boy kisses! You will ball your eyes out. Also highly recommend hopeless & all your perfects by Colleen Hoover and after you read those, Finding Cinderella and Finding perfect!! They all tie together
I have read both of these and the way I cried is insane
your book videos make me so excited i genuinely want to read every book u recommend
I found my love for reading again this summer because of your videos and I read 18 since August! ❤️
LOVE IT
TEAM MANUSCRIPT !! I read Verity in one sitting, and I was fully engulfed in it ugh omg. The things I would do to reread that book.
I think you'll like "gone girl" by Gillian Flynn if you liked verity. The plots are kinda similar? in the slightest sense but both are amazing books.
I read this book and i dont know what people mean by team manuscript lol
@@mlduran12 Lol it means, they believe everything written on manuscript and not the letter. I am team manuscript too btw.
i stand that the manuscript is real!!!
Verity's a write, she can make things up. i mean coo hoo did
I literally just finished The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo yesterday and I am still so speechless. It’s so well written easy to read and the plot the story the characters. Not only did the author almost constantly maintain the suspicion of the story the development of the characters throughout the story was so good. I was constantly on the edge. I finished it so fast.

Hi

would you marry me. For money I will give you money
Then if you enter America, I will fire you
I can’t wait to read all of these, especially the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo . Thanks for the recs always 🥰🥰💙

📙 A Gentleman in Moscow (fiction)
Going to start the new year reading The Seven Husbands. Thank you for the recommendations and those who commented backing up that rec!
"I'm thinking about ending things " and Verity were the best psychological thriller books for me
i cannot be satisfied by any book after reading Verity. I will check out the "I'm thinking about ending things"
Me toooooo
I’m so fascinated by the amount of people that loved Verity. I thought it was terrible. It was so absurd and there’s one absolutely too unrealistic to even suspend disbelief thing I can’t get passed. I can’t get the hype.
@@missa7567 same i can even say it was one of the worst book i have ever read
@@missa7567 Same. Verity was an atrocious book. I finished it and then I kicked myself.
i think my fave read was definitely the song of achilles…it was so good and beautiful and also tragic. just an amazing book
I’m rlly mad because I bought song of Achilles with such high hopes for it and I just didn’t enjoy it, it’s beautifully written but I just didn’t understand why I didn’t seem to enjoy the book as everyone else seemed to
@@jessicalouise5066 hm i mean i guess it’s not necessarily for everyone! it’s okay to not love a book :)
@@jessicalouise5066 Same, I just don't enjoy reading about war.. but that is totally fine :)
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe is SO good, it's a chill book, a few serious topics, but it was a one day read for me. Friends to lovers trope, and I just got the next book (it's a duology) and am super excited to read it. If you're looking for a wholesome and easy read, definitely check it out sometime
i really wanna get it but I just want to read standalones atm. Can you read the first book by itself or should you also read the second?
@McDonnell Creates tyy
The second book is amazing!!! Maybe even better than the first...
@@juliam_x super cool! the second book i just finished and LOVED it, but i read the first one in the summer and wasn't in dire need to read the next one (i didn't even know there was one) so u can fs read it alone, but if u are up for it, the second one is worth the time :)
@McDonnell Creates no way, he narrates it? i have to listen to it, love him
if you’re interested in a realistic fiction history book about WW2, the things we cannot say is SOOOOOOOO good! it also alternates between present and pass and it’s a story between the granddaughter (present) and her grandmother that was a jew in WW2! it’s an amazing story
Omg i am so interested in this! I will have to check it out. Thanks for the recommendation 😊
*past*
The Silent Patient is such a phenomenal book, it’s my favorite book ever ♡
Yess the plot twist
taylor jenkins reid is an amazing author so is colleen hoover!! definitely want to read more of their books in 2022
one of my 2022 goals frfr
CH bores me to tears. Don't get the hype at all.
I read but she makes me want to read all of those books. The way she explains them is impeccable. I just wanted to thank you because man you have a way of making me want to read when I'm in a slump!
The Silent Patient, Verity and Evelyn Hugo are ready to be read in 2022. I bought them in English as I prefer to read in English instead of my own language. Happy 2022!
i don’t even remember the last time i’ve willingly read a book but i’m still watching this video because i love ava so much. your my literal favorite youtuber
I wasn't planning on reading "Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" and I didn't actually know what it was about but now it's on my to-read list. Thanks! Loved the recommendations
my favorite reads of this year were all memoirs (Crying in H Mart, Know My Name, Educated). very heavy books but super impactful if you’re up for reading them!
all three of those books were written amazingly! there were so many moments where i started bawling
Crying in Hmart was amazing
such good ones. educated is one of my favorite books ever! and know my name was incredible too. i need to read the other one you mentioned!
7 Husbands is a MASTERPIECE! I still can't believe someone on this earth has THAT MUCH TALENT. Like wow!!! 10/10!!!
My favourite books of 2021 book recomendations: ✨
*Pachinko by Min Jin Lee- follows a fictional Korean family in Japan during the Japanese occupation of Korea. It is so moving and the characters and story has followed me throughout all of 2021. (Historical fiction)

Code Name Verity is SO BEAUTIFUL, it had me up at 3am finishing it and bawling my eyes out
I love Pachinko. It’s such an amazing book
I read 95 books this year and I didn’t even have that goal I just started binge reading lol. My goal is 80 next year so I don’t go crazy or fall off reading. My favorite book was city of girls by Elizabeth Gilbert and it got me reading again I think you’d like it because it’s a New York setting
Wow... I read only 30 books in2021.. good luck🤍🤍
Can’t wait to watch the rest, but I love these and my favorite book I read this year was “It ends with us” and “November 9th” by Colleen Hoover 💗💗
I absolutely love November 9
I just finished November 9th such a good book!
I finally read Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, and now I understand the hype. I absolutely did not see so many things coming. Not the true love, not the last part either! It was a lovely book.
Seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo , this book will be series?
I'm definitely team manuscript!! Verity still gives me chills when i think about it
one of the best books i've read this year!!
I’d HIGHLY recommend reading The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood. It’s my favorite book that I’ve ever read at the moment and one of those books that left me “wanting to cut off off my right big toe to read for the first time again”. It’s a total rom com, had me laughing out loud while binge read it in barnes & noble for 4 hours with no breaks.
Basically, Olive is a student in a Stanford PhD biology program and she hasn’t had the best luck with relationships. She lied to her friend about having a new boyfriend and when she sees that she’s unexpectedly at the lab while Olive is supposed to be on a date, she kisses the first stranger she sees to cover up. Turns out that stranger was the most “ruthless and harsh” professor in the biology department Adam Carlsen. He agrees to start fake dating to continue the act up with Olive’s friends and then it all goes from there.
It has some of my all time FAVORITE tropes and, Olive, the main character is the cutest and nerdiest (in a good way) person ever and it’s a nice contrast to Adam’s personality. Idk I can go on for HOURS on how much I adore this book 🤩💗
I’m reading it next !! Tysm for the rec 💛
I love that book so much
Thankyou for this recommendation, will definitely try to find it :)
I loved it !!so light-hearted and adorable all the characters are super fun and Adam Carlsen is an absolute gem .
“Wanting to cut off my right big toe” girl literally made me cackle
Ava!!!! I love your book videos so much. You are a big part of why I got back into reading this year 🤍🤍 also, you have to read the great alone by Kristin Hannah!! It’s quite a commitment (550 pages) and it’s a bit dark but it grabs you and doesn’t let go and I think you would love it!

i just read Verity last week and it completely caught me off guard it’s so good. like left me staring at a wall w my jaw on the floor lol. i made the mistake of finishing it at 1 am and couldn’t sleep that night or the following night 😅 it’s not scary but rather unsettling is a better way to describe it. amazing 10/10 recommend
Yep definitely I just finished past week it was soooo good . I completed it in 2 days I was reading at night till 4am , tha book just got me hooked.🥰
My favorite book this year was definitely It Ends With Us, it had me shook for so long after I read it!! Colleen Hoover's other books are definitely on my to-read list after reading that book
I finished it yesterday! Definitely a little tough to read in some parts, but it was super good!
read Verity!! Had me sooo shook!
just finished reading it last night, it was so good 😭
It’s such a good book, definitely a 5 star read for me.
It is a very good book. I didn't really like other books by Collen Hoover..but It ends with us is awesome. It's been a year since I read it and still love it
im reading the seven husbands of evelyn hugo right now & it's so beautiful!! one of my favourite books is before the coffee gets cold and i would highly recommend!! thank you for all your hard work & lovely videos this, they bring so much positivity
Omg I love before the coffee gets cold
oofff i DEVOURED “one of us is lying” by karen m. mcmanus! such an easy read, so exciting, many plottwist and it’s really well written! totally got me out of my reading-slump! currently reading the sequel and i bought 2 of her other books, so excited to read them!
it made me so happy to see The Silent Patient in one of these videos because it is honestly one of my absolute favourites. Although it is written for a more mature audience, I found it really easy to get into because the flow was amazing and the story kept me hooked throughout. I highy highly recommend!!!!!
My favorite book this year was "el amor en los tiempos del cólera" (I think there is an English version) by the Nobel Prize-winning Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez; It made me cry from the first chapter. Actually I think it was the only book i finished this year lol.
what’s it about? im always down to read & but a book from a latino author!
It's called "love in the time of cholera" In English for everyone interested! 10/10 recommended!
Gabriel García Márquez 😍🤩
The same of author of "100 years of solitute"!!!
i have read about half of these and loved them all! you have great taste in books:) i’ve read 36 books this year and my goal for next year is to read 50.
also… if anyone is a fan of audiobooks, the daisy jones and the six audiobook is incredible! there is a full cast of narrators, and each character has their own narrator.
just ordered the seven husbands of evelyn hugo!! this is the year of getting back into reading for me :)
Omgggggg!!! Verity was so freakin good! I’m team manuscript too. The end was so mind blowing!
Same!
The Nightingale and Salt to the Sea are both amazing and beautifully written books. Definitely recommend readings these!!!!
The Nightingale is the BEST!
I agree!! makes reading ww2 historical fiction so enjoyable and thrilling :)
Salt to the Sea has lived in my mind rent free since 2016
i read the scythe series this year and i’m working on finishing the last book by the end of the year! they were rly good!
This is exactly the kind of book rec video I've been looking for. Will be looking into this channel more. I really wanted a book rec video that can give me descriptions that make me want to read them. Not just titles or one liners.
aside from you explaining these books. Ma'aam i have been watching you for a while and you've become more and more beautiful every year omg !!
I loveeeeee ava's book recommendations, it always inspires me to read more!!
A recommendation: A Piece of Cake by Cupcake Brown. It’s a memoir, but it’s seriously so good & eye opening. I read it when I was in 8th grade, I’m 23 and I still think about that book at least once or twice a week.
I've ordered the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo ✨ let's see how it goesssss reading it!!! I'm excited
I really need to read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo! I keep hearing so many good things about it. 💜
i literally have a huge stack of books to read. am i gonna watch this whole video and buy all of these? yes.
Also !!! Mick Riva has an appearance in Daisy Jones too!! Love it
AVA! I have binged all of your book videos and I LOVEEE! PLZ keep making them ❤❤
Daisy Jones has an AMAZING audiobook! Adds a whole new layer of it feeling realistic.
Book
If you haven't already, I recomend reading Normal People by Sally Rooney. It is by far my favorite book of 2021 and it is a Hulu show so definitely check that out.
She has read that book but thank you for that recommendation, it was on my tbr😌
THE SHOW IS SOOO GOOD
Verity also ruined my mind for 3 days after! You definitely need to discuss it with others who have read it. I still have no idea if I’m team maniscript or team letter LOL the second best read of the year… the other one was it ends with us. Thank you for recommending this author!!!
I know a lot of people said this but if you want to start reading start with “it end with us” it’s freaking AMAZING!!! That book is what started my book obsession, my book obsession just started like 1-2 months ago and I already own like 40 books kinda thankful but also hate it end with us cuz when I’m obsessed with sth i spend so much money on them
Okay but I LOVE the way you give the little snapshot with the cover and title and everything it makes it so much easier to save the books and find them, I wish more ppl did this
I finished the love hypothesis a week ago, and it was amazing. I finished it within 4 hours!! It’s a must read :))
I love that you posted this today! Especially since today was the first time I stepped foot into a library after 6 years!!! Can’t wait to go back tomorrow to get my library card and take out some of these books 🤎
I love the way you talked about the books. You gave insight but no spoilers:) THANK YOU!!!!
NEED an updated version of this for 2023!
The way you describe these books really makes me want to get back into reading!
We were liars was my favorite book I've read in the past couple of months. Rated 11/10 it was soo good, definitely dark and deep. But you will not want to put it down!
Omgg! I read it at school and i loved it :"0 but it was near the last month of school for me so I couldn't finish (?) 😔 I miss it sm
The silent patient was amazing!! I read it this year. I loved how the characters were so flawed and tragic. The reveal was very well done.
Okay I'm buying 4 of these books right now ! It would be 5 but I already have Verity. And I'm team letter !!!!
I love how you talk about the books without giving too much away, such a great video, thank you 😄
im so excited to read daisy jones! i've read seven husbands and malibu rising and absolutely loved both of them(literally read them in a week lmao) my goal for this year is 10 books but i hope i get to surpass it 💗
My favorite book I read this year is One of us is lying . Very interesting . It slowly unravelled each of the character's stories . Read it if you haven't already .
P.S Love you , Ava 💓
She has read that one
Just finished verity and I’m team manuscript for sure!!! UGH ITS SO GOOD i finished it in 1 day and it became my favorite book of all time I can’t stop thinking about it 😫
the way i didn’t even realize mick was in both books because i read them so far after one another omg. MY EYES JUST POPPED OUT OF MY HEAD
The silent patient was utterly incredible!!!Verity is also so so good!!!! Ahhhhh
the cruel prince series is CHEFFS KISS! kind of an enemies to lovers trope and the protagonist is very much strong and lovely :)
I’m not sure anyone else could discretely describe a book the way you do. So genuine. You’re amazing! Thank you!
My top 5 star reads definitely would be "Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" - that book was so easy to read: extraordinary storyline, the whole interview form was a genius idea!! I just love it
isn’t eleanor and park a lil racist? i read it a long time ago so i forgot
Ugh I loved all of these!! I would also add The midnight library idk why it spoke to me so much such a good quick read
i just finished it and it’s literally life changing i love it so much
AHHHH THIS JUST MADE ME SO EXCITED!!! I’ve been needing more book recs, thank you
Book Recommendations!! I read "The Vanishing Half" by Britt Bennett earlier this year and it was fascinating. It displays an interesting perspective on race and was such a great read. Also "The Midnight Library" by Matt Haig. I can't remember if you reviewed that one in a previous video but I just finished it and I simply cannot stop thinking about it.
Yes same these books were amazing!
it's not a single book but the Red Eye series is absolutly phenomenal and each book is a different story so you don't need to worry about continuing with a super long story! Highly recommend!!! 💕
love love LOOOVVEEE this video, always adore your book videos. definitely gonna look into some of these. my fav book that i read this year was daisy jones and the six, SUCH A GOOD BOOK. so fun to hear you talk about it. also: THAT TOP IS SO CUTE. the color is so pretty on you wow. okay that's all i love u
Three groundbreaking recommendations of mine:
1. Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe
2. Crying in H-Mart
3. Memorial (Bryan Washington)
Three great books that bring up important topics and have you left thinking about life, society and give inspiration
i loved crying in hmart!!! definitely a fav of mine this year
I absolutely loved '7 Husbands' and 'Daisy Jones & The Six'...easily 2 of my favorite books of all time !!! I read Daisy Jones and The Six over a year ago and I still think about these characters. I'll have to check out some of your other recommendations
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is literally the best book I have ever read. I read it last summer and I still think about the characters and the plot. I haven't met anyone who isn't obsessed with it. It is SO GOOD, you have to read it.
literally JUST finished the seven husbands of evelyn hugo, LOVED IT!!
loved seven husbands of evelyn hugo - will definitely have to check out some of taylor jenkins reid's other novels! also, if you really enjoyed atomic habits i would also recommend reading tiny habits by bj fogg. for me, tiny habits was basically everything i thought atomic habits would cover and i've been able to actively apply a lot more concepts from tiny habits than atomic habits!!
My recommendation for you is: girl, missing. Its the first book in a trilogy! Its one of the best books i have tead this year! It is fiction and mystery. The second book is also really good although i haven't read the third yet!
My favourite book of this year was 'My Body' by Emily Ratajkowski, it's a raw and candid piece about her experiences in the modelling industry and the sexism and misogyny that women have to face on a daily basis. I felt seen and heard in this book whilst simultaneously empathised with her and realised my own sexist thoughts that were subconsciously there such as believing that beautiful women don't really have more to offer than their face (I'm so embarrassed by this lmao, but this has changed!! thanks to this book). I highly recommend it!!!
My #1 book recommendation is “velocity” by Dean Koontz!! It’s so fast-paced (like “one sitting” type of reading) yet detailed, and it’s the book that got me into reading again after yearssss of not due to school. I read it in like 4 days lol, it definitely leaves you thinking about it for some time.
Your non-spoiler book reviews are wonderful! ✨
Now your the person I never knew I needed in my life
Book tok onto RUclips is the definition of your channel
OMG OUR BOOK GOALS WERE THE SAME
I love ur chill vlogs too but im A FAN of ur book vids 😍 i got into reading real recently (like when pandemic hit) bc i always felt lik a slow reader or just couldn’t get into it. But seeing the way u pace urself is inspiring and ur book recs always gets me excited to read! Thanks for sharing this part of ur life with us :)) happy happy new year, ava!!
I got to read 23 books this year! ☺️ Here are my favorites: the guest list, midnight library, born a crime, educated, american dirt and utopia avenue!
Based on the books you've read so far (quite a few of which I've read before and really like), I think you would really like "Dear America, Notes from an Undocumented Citizen". It's a memoir by a Filipino immigrant who was brought to the US as a small kid. It goes through his sturggles to find a place in the United States and get citizenship.
I see The Song of Achilles on your bookshelf in the back and I just finished it today!! Probably the best book I’ve ever read and the connection I felt to the characters was so strong; i highly recommend :)
so apparently i was into books like a few years back but then fell out. got back into reading again, this time with a PASSION and my goals for next year is to read atleast 30 books. I’m taking it slow and will gradually increase the number bc i don’t wanna pressurise myself in reading. my fav books from 2021 were legend series and shatter me.
Gonna start very small with my book goals because it's been awhile since I've finished one. So for 2022 I wanna just finish at least 2 books 📚 thank you for the recommendations I'll definitely pick one of these up
