    When I got the notification for this I stopped everything! HUGE congratulations on graduating, Noelle!! I loved watching you on your grad school journey and how much you accomplished! I loved your top 10 list with such a wide range of genres. Some of my favorite books this year were A Tree Grows In Brooklyn, Crying in H Mart, I’m Glad My Mom Died, and Last Summer on State Street. Can’t wait to see what you end up reading in the new year!

    I love how honest you are about reading. Even though it is generally a fun and relaxing activity, it can sometimes be stressful, even for book lovers. Don't worry about not wanting to read after finishing your Master's. I got a double degree in Francophone and Hispanic Literature, so I completely understand how you may need a break even though you still have that desire to read. Take your moment and enjoy the relaxation that comes from stepping back for a bit. It will make reading that much more enjoyable in the future when you choose to pick up a book for fun again.

      @@michelepastele5347 Thanks. :) Unfortunately, I am only familiar with one university that offers such a program: University of British Columbia (it is located it Vancouver, BC, Canada). It is an immersion program, so students learn to speak, read and write in the Spanish language, while all literature and lectures are also in Spanish. If you already speak the language, then you can take a placement exam to skip the grammar classes and go straight to the lit classes.

    @noone-wq4fm Год назад +51

    I read so many good books this year but I do have a top 10 (there's no particular order; all of them mean the same to me):
    1. the entirety of Berserk by Kentaro Miura (this is a fantasy manga and everything about it is just so perfect)
    2. The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang (very dark fantasy; this book wrecked me)
    3. Radio Silence by Alice Oseman (I felt so connected to the characters; it kind of made me question my whole life)
    4. Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoyevsky (this is kind of philosophy and it was absolutely amazing)
    5. Crime & Punishment also by Fyodor Dostoyevsky (How? How did he do it? because I don't know)
    6. The Faces by Tove Ditlevsen (this is about a woman who's a child books author and she slowly loses her mind and it was so so good; it's very short but it had such a big impact and I truly truly adored it)
    7. The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson (high fantasy; I loved everything about this, I've never read such an epic battle; I almost lost my mind)
    8. Iron Gold by Pierce Brown (4th book in the Red Rising series, and Jesus Christ, this is probably one of my all time fav sci-fi series and it continues to surprise me over and over again)
    9. The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath (I read this in summer and have thought about it every day since then)
    10. In Cold Blood by Truman Capote (a non-fiction about two guys who murder a family; I usually never read non-fiction but this was so good; really stunning, it's very detailed, yet it is short and I loved learning about the two characters because even though they committed such an awful crime, it was incredibly interesting to understand their motivation)
    A few honorable mentions: The Stranger by Albert Camus, Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick

    My favorite discovery this year was realizing how much I really needed memoirs!
    BUT I pushed myself too hard, I think, with a reading goal this year and thus have been incredibly burnt out and haven't read a single sentence or touched a book in December.
    I'm hopeful for 2023 and very ready to get back into reading with a much more slowed and intentional purpose!!

    When I finished my Master's degree in another field, it is hard to describe what happened, but there was a weird emptiness because I was used to pushing myself to complete papers, keep up the professional reading, and so much pressure, and then there was 'nothing.' It felt really strange when that constant pressure (for years) was 'suddenly' off. It took a while to fit into a normal life again.
    My favorite memoir (probably of all time) was 'Finding Me' by actor Viola Davis. I love her as an actor. Her book made me cry, made me feel joy, and look in a more depth at lives of folks living in poverty. I love that woman! I don't think there has ever been another book like that -such brutal honesty and read by HER!!
    I liked Lock Ever Door by Riley Sager, and Hacienda, and loved Verity by Colleen Hoover.
    Nice to see you back Noelle. Happy New Year.

    Reading has changed so much for me over the years. I started listening to audiobooks in 2019 and that combined with my dwindling attention span meant that picking up a physical book became something that would simply not spark joy and drain me at the mere thought. I’ve been creeping back into them, though. I have over 150 physical unread books so I have a lot of choice - which is exciting but overwhelming and often paired with guilt (my parents have always shamed me for buying books, even long before the tbr got this big). I just finished Little Fires Everywhere and it was such a slow start but I REALLY got into it at one point. It was nice.
    Congratulations on graduating :)

  • @showtimesynergy87
    @showtimesynergy87 Год назад +1

    2022 was a rough one. Started the year with Covid and am ending the year with Covid again. My reading was up and down as well. I usually have a handful of books that I would be raving about, but honestly, there are only 1 or 2 books that I can remember reading and when finished, said "I loved that so much!" I actually reread one of them during the year too, because I was in a slump and knew it would make me happy. That book is Ferryman by Claire McFall, which honestly, I haven't seen anyone talk about at all. but out of the over 100 books I read this year, I was really disappointed by a lot of them. Hoping that 2023 will be better health wise and book wise!

    I haven’t read too many books this year but I finally finished Everything I Never Told You and loved the family dynamics. Looking forward to more reading in 2023. Not much else lmao. 😂

    This year was also the year I graduated so I’ve been off from booktube and haven’t read much. But today I just FELT like I wanted to watch Noelle, so I came upon this video! And lemme tell you CONGRATS FOR GRADUATING!!! It was hard, painful, but you fought through and you did it!!!
    I love all your favorites of the year, I’m particularly interested in the memoirs though. I simply love reading (or rather listening to their audiobooks) peoples stories!!!
    My favorites of the year were:
    - My sweet orange tree (by José Mauro de Vasconcelos). It’s considered a classic for children and teenagers here in Brazil, and it’s SO beautiful and poetic! It was my first of the year and I’d already found a favorite.
    I also loved: our violent delights, Malibu raising (do I have to add anything on any TJR book? That woman is a genius) and one that I think you, Noelle, will particularly enjoy *FOUR TREASURES OF THE SKY*. It’s this beautiful narrative about a little Chinese girl and the series of unfortunate events that unfold in her life. It’s devastatingly beautiful. I still haven’t let go of the main character… def the favorite of the year.
    Anyways: I am most excited next year for “Pachinko”, “crying at h mart”, “Carrie soto”, and “a hundred years of solitude”
