- Welcome, book lovers and curious passers-by, to this channel's 4-year anniversary slash 99th video upload special! 🎈 (on my page it says it's actually a little less than 99 but that's just coz my first few videos are hidden and will never see the light of day again 🦇)
thank you all for sustaining my little bit of booktube with your good vibes (and views and likes and subscribes) over the years. 🙏 plenty more to come ✨
in the meantime, i hope you enjoy listening to me gush over the best books i've read since i re-ignited my love of reading back in 2020.
watch out for:
“I can’t compare Book X and Book Y” ➡ proceeds to compare Book X and Book Y
and various other inaccuracies 😃

i do wanna read iphigenia at aulis ! rly enjoyed hearing ur faves & happy anniversary !!
thank you so much! =D Iphigenia at Aulis is such a gem, honestly the greek tragedies are way too good to just be enjoyed by classicists so it makes me happy when i hear ppl wanna read them 🎈
I love this video! I have a few of these books/authors on my list… it’s always so encouraging to hear them praised.
Also- re Ponti Guardian review- what an awkward thing to hear as a writer. “Yeah your writing sucks because you took a writing class” or something. I’m not informed, so maybe I misunderstand. But that still feels so weird!
i will praise them till the cows come home and then go back to the field again 🐄 the Ponti review was more or less that i think, felt more like the reviewer wanted to rant about how the creative writing degree industrial complex was poisoning literature and thought a book review was a good way to get it all off her chest... awkward lol. espesh coz the reviewer is an author herself 😅
@@apocalypsereading7117 Yeah... not all thoughts need to shared in the same way....
i've only read comet in moominland so far and i did enjoy it..will watch your video on territory of light after i've read the book which is on deck along with ponti, and celestial bodies and i just ordered the justified sinners from thrift books...hope i get to them all sooner rather than later..am currently reading she would be king by wayetu moore which you might like..
I'm glad you enjoyed it - and thrilled that so many of these are on your shelves! No rush, and when you get to them I’d love to hear your thoughts ✨ I’ll look up She Would Be King 👑
😀😀@@apocalypsereading7117 will do.
