What are the best books you've read this quarter?
Let me see..
Pachinko
Into the drowning deep
The fifth season
The book of the unnamed midwife
Wrong place wrong time
I'd have to agree on Parable of the Talents. Also, At Night All Blood is Black by David Diop (this audiobook blew my mind), Book Lovers by Emily Henry, When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain by Nghi Vo, In An Absent Dream by Seanan McGuire, and The Love Songs of W.E.B. DuBois.
The Moonday Letters
Station Eleven
I'm Glad My Mom Died
Vita Nostra (I'm not done with this yet, but I can't imagine anything happening in the last 75 pages that's going to change my mind.)
I've read 48 this quarter. I was shocked with how much I enjoyed Beach Read it was definitely a favorite this quarter. Other favorites were Beneath a Scarlet Sky, A Children's bible by Lydia Millet and Winter in Sokcho.
Two 5-star reads this quarter:
Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin
People Like Her by Ellery Lloyd
A few with 4 stars:
Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
Counterfeit by Kirstin Chen
I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCardy
I have learned this year that DNFing is self care, and it has made my reading so much better too!
Legends & Lattes is so adorable!
It totally is self care!! My reading year has been so much better because I started doing it more consistently!
I need a video where you show your entire sweater collection. Seriously, where do you buy sweaters with such cute prints???
Youre too sweet! I haven't bought clothes in 2-3 years so I'm getting a bit bored of what I have so this comment made my day!
I absolutely hated dystopian books until I started reading them with women authors. It's made all the difference, and now I really enjoy the genre
I've realized that this year too! While horrible things do happened it doesn't feel gratuitous and it makes all the difference for me!
I just finished a book for my next vlog (read it or unhaul it!) and even though the MC was a man (and not a super nice one), he was clearly written by a woman lol
For both fantasy and SciFi, I won't read a book by a dude unless I've heard rave things about it from people I trust, because I've had to slog through far too much male gaze and casual mysogyny. #notallmaleauthors - but way too many!
@@BookswithEmilyFox I'm currently reading Good Morning, Midnight by Lily Brooks-Dalton and find it really enjoyable, much better than the movie Midnight Sky. It's End-of-the-world-as-we-know-it but is really about relationships. My favorite (even above Station Eleven) is The End of the World Running Club; however, I think because of the subject - also about relationships - it is probably more relatable to male readers.
@@thetheatrezoo3603 I loved Good Morning, Midnight! I have to say I wasn't sure exactly how to interpret the end, but I found the whole thing so enjoyable it didn't bother me.
@@tuqaridha4821 Sexist is a loaded word. The voice of an author comes from their own experiences and gender definitely influences that experience. Toni Morrison or Cormac McCarthy wouldn't have the same voice if their genders were swapped.
I've read 23 books in the last quarter. Quite a few of them I really loved. I read Salem's Lot for the first time and I wonder what took me so long! Discovered T.Kingfisher and read What Moves the Dead, Nettle and Bone, and The Twisted ones by them. I Plan on reading all of their back catalog I love the writing style so much! I had a great reading Quarter and Year really. I added The Book of the Unnamed Midwife to my TBR. thanks for the recommendation!
Oh I have Nettle and Bone on my TBR!
@@BookswithEmilyFox it's magically dark. I hope you like it
Currently reading legends and latte. So cozy it feels like a warm blanket!
SO EXCITED!!!📚📚📚📖📖📙📚📚📚🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🎃🎃🎃🍂🍂🍂🍂🎃🍁🎃🍂🍃🍃🍂🍁🍁🍂🍃🍃🍂🎃🍂📚📚📚📚📖📙📙📖📖📖📚📚📚📚📙📖🍂🍁🍁🎃🍂🍂🍂🎃🎃🍂🍂
Legends & lattes sounds so cute!!
It totally is!
100% agree about Emily Henry! Read 3 of her books this year and loved all of them 💜
Also had my friend buy Octavia E Butler books, can’t wait to get my hands on them next month! We have ugly covers here LOL
Except for this series, I only have the only covers too XD I'm looking to get the other ones in prettier editions now that I know I love them so much haha
It makes me happy that you loved Book of the Unnamed Midwife cos it’s a fave of mine too & nobody talks about it!! I’ve read the companion sequels by the author and they didn’t hit the same for me. I really want other dystopians like Midwife! 💙
It's so underrated!
I agree with Parable of the Talents and share your unexpected love for Emily Henry books! I have Razorblade Tears, The Book of the Unnamed Midwife and Legend and Lattes on my TBR, and I'm really looking forward to all of them!
I really enjoyed Legends and Lattes as well and I have downloaded Razorblade Tears after your recommendation. I have read 98 books out of 120 so far this year.
Just found your channel today. I'm finding your recommendations so interesting. I'm going through your videos in a playlist now. Thanks, Emily. :))
I'm reading Legends & Lattes right now and quite enjoying it! I read the Octavia Butler duology last year, and just read the first book in the Dawn/Xenogenesis series. Very good.
The Book of the Unnamed Midwife sounds very interesting!
never heard of unnamed midwife before you and I loved it! few of Octavia's books were greatttt too.. I will read anything you love
I read Beach Read last year and enjoyed it. Since you also enjoyed it, you might like books by Mhairi McFarlane. They are romances, but they also deal with serious topics, like Beach Read did with grief. If you’re in the mood to read a romance, I recommend Just Last Night, Mad About You or If I Never Met You by this author. Her older ones are good as well, but I think the writing is stronger in her newer books. They are set in England and I enjoy the slang and learning little things about the culture.
Hi Emily. I went through a terrible reading slump last year and the beginning of this year, so I did not read anything from January to the end of May. During summer vacation, I read about 50 books. And this was mostly just because I was able to listen to a lot of audiobooks as I took long walks with my dog.
Legends & Lattes is such a cute book! 🎃🍂🍂🍂🍃🍁🍃🎃📖📖📖🍃🎃🍂📚📚🍂🎃🍃🍁🍁🍁🎃📚📚🍂🎃🍃🍂🍂🍂🍃📖📖📖📖📖📖📖🍁🍃🎃📚📚📚🍂🎃🍁🍁🍂🍂🍂🍃🍁🍁🎃🎃📖📙
You raved about the “dad recommendation “ one in great length in at least three videos in a row🤣 Not gonna lie, I was sold and ordered an ebook after your first video 🤣
In the last 3 months, I have read 20 books, 11 of those were read just last month. I have had a slow few months after moving and stuff. I am hoping to read 20 or more just this month. I have a huge goal of reading 80+ books I have on a separate TBR list that I decided to throw together based on the season just last month. So 🤞🏽
Razor blade tears was great! Definitely reads like an action film which was different. I loved beach read also. It ends with us, what a great book. Don’t want to spoil it! 20th century ghosts is a great horror anthology and great to read for October.
I'm going to give Razor Blade a chance
Thanks for your recommandations !
I gonna have to add Razor blade tears to my TBR, it sounds really interesting
Just finished Station Eleven! It was brilliant! And seeing artists persevere through all the shit was just brilliant because that is EXACTLY what they would do. It was just so well put together, I want everyone to read it. (In relation to post apocalyptic by women)
I just finished it, too. It was very good and I want to read more by the author.
@@peggyluwhoreads The Glass Hotel and Sea of Tranquility were great follow-ups that are all tied together.
Great video!
If you like legends and lattes, I think you would really like The Wandering Inn!! It’s a really popular web serial but also available in audiobook format and it’s about an innkeeper in a fantasy-type world!! the BEST characters of all time
I can’t wait to read Legends & Lattes!! I just got the Kindle edition and also picked up a physical copy of Beach Reads. Best book I read this quarter was The Only Plane In the Sky (non-fiction) which is about 9/11.
I've read a lot of Manga this year, so my read books is pretty high. 74 books total, with about 30 of those being manga and about another 10 Novellas.
I read 39 books in the past 3 months. I had 6 5⭐️’s.
Stephen King - Salem’s Lot
Patricia Engel - Infinite Country
Ira Levin - Rosemary’s Baby
Jane Goodall - Book Of Hope
Tasuya Endo - Spy Family Vol. 1
Stephen King - Eye Of The Dragon
My favorite books this year were:
The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett and Call Me By Your Name by Andre Aciman.
Beach Read by Emily Henry was wonderful. 📚❤️
It was nothing like I expected but such a fun surprise!
@@BookswithEmilyFox I read Emily Henry's other books and loved them too.
Weirdly I’ve just gotten into manga and loving it so far would be promised neverland series, blood on the track series, and monster series. Manga has token over my reading for fbe most part which is random bc never thought I’d like it
Definitely bumping The Book of the Unnamed Midwife up my TBR after hearing that it's one of your favourites of the year! I love the post apocalyptic genre. Definitely need to read some Octavia E. Butler too. Probably next year now! ☺
You'll have to tell me how it goes!
@@BookswithEmilyFox I will do! ☺
My best books of this year are The travelling cat's chronicles and The Kaiju preservation Society. The first because it was so surprising that I would love a book like this and the second one was just fun and a very fast read. There were a lot of nice books but these two were 5 stars until now.
The cat one is on my TBR!! Need to read it before the end of the year!
@@BookswithEmilyFox It's a fast read and a very wholesome one. I usually don't like that so that's why I was surprised I liked this one.
I loved beach read especially because there wasn’t some dumb fight created by miscommunication, it all seemed reasonable
Here's my favorite books of 2022 so far Dolores Claiborne by Stephen king
Billy summers by Stephen king
The heart principle by helen Hoang
Revival by Stephen king
The cactus by Sarah Haywood
In five years by rebecca serle
The great peace by mena suvari her memoir
Not my father son by alan cumming his first memoir
The deal by elle Kennedy
The charm offensive by alison Cochrane
we seem to have very similar taste in Stephen king. if you haven't gotten to "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon" and "insomnia" I highly recommend them! :)
@@zachreads I have read both books I absolutely enjoyed insomnia it's one of my favorite books from Stephen king the girl who loved tom Gordon not so much
@@angelaholmes8888! Sad you didn't like TGWLTG, I think that's his most underrated book. I recently reread Duma Key and loved that one! (Needful Things too)
@@zachreads love needful things have you watched the movie adaptation of it starring max von snyder and ed Harris
@@angelaholmes8888 maybe a long time ago (when Blockbuster was a thing) lately I've had morbid curiosity to check out the new Fire Starter movie which I'm told is almost as big of a dumpster fire is the new Pet Sematary lol
My comment isn't even about a book you mentioned, lmao. I saw the photo of Bunny and had completely forgotten that you read that recently and I just finished it! So I went back to watch your review again and I totally agree. I also gave it 2 stars and I was surprised with how slow and boring I found the story. Plus, I think we were supposed to feel bad for the MC and feel like she got her revenge in the end? And I didn't? I don't know. I felt like it was pointless and unsatisfying. And your lipstick comment was hilarious, lol. Anyway, back to THIS video, I'm glad you had a great quarter and hope the next one is great, as well! (:
Haha love that you went back for the review! It's such a small complaint but how hard is it to make sure you have the right undertone?? XD
@@BookswithEmilyFox It's totally legit. She didn't need to give a name if she wasn't going to double check 😂😂
Thimbleeee 💙💙💙
Just a clarification: in Book of the Unnamed Midwife, it is men who have higher survival rates, which also plays into the major subplot of women surviving not only the deadly outbreak and child birth, but also surviving men, who now have far less women to “go around”. The second book in the trilogy (the first is essentially a standalone and far superior to the other two) goes into more depth.
I read 16 books in last three months and gave 4x 5 stars and 4x4stars.
And this was mostly just because I was able to listen to a lot of audiobooks as I took long walks with my dog.
I read 26 books the last three months, far away of my reading goal of the year^^
That was me last year, so far this year I’ve read 24. Ups and downs lol
I read Beach Read as well, I think in July or August :) it was good enough so that I ordered the atuthor's other works afterwards. But it will not be on my 'best of the best' list
Legends and Lattes is so cute. Thimple must be protected at all costs.
Hi again Emily. It’s funny because I read The Book of the Unnamed Midwife in May or June and it is also a new favorite. Then I heard you mention Razorblade Tears and remembered that I had it on my shelf because I got it from book of the month earlier this year or last year. And since you were enjoying it so much I thought I would pick it up. And I loved it! it was funny and just a really good read and it’s also one of my new favorites. I want to read more Octavia Butler, but I decided that I am only reading books I already own for the rest of the year because even though I was not reading last year I was still buying books. I don’t mind having a large amount of unread books but it does stress me out when I’m not actually reading them, which is what happened last year due to my massive reading slump.
I had to preorder Legends and Lattes too here in North Carolina. I just think the book has completely sold out! I ordered it over a week ago and wont get it until November 8th.
I haaaaated the religion in the Parable series, idk what everyone is seeing that I am not 😅 Octavia butler is still amazing tho.
I love reading dystopian novels 😊🥰
100% agree and I love Emily Henry so much love all 3 books xoxo 😚 🍁🍂🍂🍁📚🍁🎃🍂🍂🎃📚📚📖📖📙📖📖🎃📚🍃🍃🍃📚🍁🎃🍂🍂🎃📚🍃🍃📚🎃🎃📖📖📖🍁📚🍃🍃📚🍁🍂🍂🍁📚📖📙
Do you count dnf books as books read?
It really depends. Usually no, but sometimes I do if I read over 50% and they were part of a challenge (at least on Goodreads)
❤️📚
I enjoyed The Book of Unnamed Midwife. It’s so good and different.
Hello Emily ❤ I live in Quebec and my first language is French. I just start to read in English, but I don't know where to buy books 🤣 Can you help me please ? Thank you very much in advance ❤
I love using my library card on the app Libby! In Qc, you can get one from BANQ and have access to English books!
The best books I‘ve read this quarter were Catch and Kill by Ronan Farrow and I‘m Glad My Mom Died. Aside from a few comics all my other reads this quarter were mostly duds. 😢 I loved Book Lovers by Emily Henry but didn‘t enjoy her other two books and DNF‘d them both. It bummed me out because I was hoping she‘d be an auto-buy author for me. But instead she became „never buy again“. 🙈
Regarding Legends and Lattes: I live in the U.S. and my Barnes and Noble told me that because the author was self pub there were only a limited amount of copies of the initial printing. Right now Barnes and Noble is doing their own edition of the book which is not out yet. I had to preorder so I don't really think it's available anywhere right now.
Have you ever tried the „Bromance book club“ series? Those are books about a group of male friends who read romance books to be better husbands and overcome male toxicity etc. It‘s soooo funny
Female authors usually bring up the real female POVs, with real female characters and no misrepresentation or fetishism of violence against women and then men complain about women preferring to read female authors. Sorry, not sorry.
