This was great! You are my main source for possible reads. I am not a voracious reader like yourself especially fiction, but I enjoy learning about the books through you and whether or not they are worth my time. Thank you so much beautiful lady. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. 😍😍😍
YEAH MINNA! Might be my favorite character this year? Come to think of it I did see the Lynch Dune film in the 80's, then read the book in the 90's though it took me my 3rd try to get through the start. A Short Stay in Hell was the recommendation I took from you when we first started communicating and damn what a book. I obeyed your request that I don't buy you a book but really the only thing that stopped me was that I could not decide what you might like on your Amazon list. I like this tag, and of course you delivered it well, but I already made up my mind I'm just doing a top ten list in a few days. There is another end of year tag which I did not care for. I had a great year as a reader and booktuber, and started watching a lot of booktubers but you indeed took 1st place as my favorite. I'm glad I found your channel. Enjoy your holidays, Star Queen.
not sure if I mentioned it, your question about my favourite book this year. Its a biography called 'Erotic Vagrancy - Everything About Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor' by Roger Lewis. No lie, I have never enjoyed a biography more in my life, and biographies are central to my reading the last few years. Its not just the subject matter, it is that the book itself is such a brilliant innovation in the very idea of biography, and is stylistically original and truly absorbing. Its great on every level, as an insight into two cultural icons, of social and historical history, but a great piece of literature too. If you ever get a copy at your library put your name down for it
I am so glad your reaction to Edward Tulane made me read it. I will never forget a certain scene and illustration from it. I want to say its beautiful, it is, but its got a tragic vision too. Please do write the fictional story about Bryce, at least a few paragraphs of what his fate is that you wish for. I'd like to be at peace with him too.
I didn't realize Poor Things was a book, I enjoyed the movie in the sense that it was gorgeous but I felt uncomfortable most of the time and yet I couldn't stop watching to see where things ended up. But anyways, it's been fun watching this and recognizing most of the books on the list. :) I'm excited to see what you'll read next year, and maybe I'll get around to reading what you read here and there lol I hope you find more enjoyable horror reads next year too.
The Games Gods Play and The Crimson Moth are getting slammed by everyone I trust with reading opinions, so I'm glad I can avoid those and not waste my time 🤣
A Short Stay in Hell: That was a fun read. The Salt Grows Heavy: I wanted to switch to the audiobook, but Sp0t*fy wanted an additional fee . Still had a great time with it. Twisting yourself into a pretzel to say "DUNE" out loud was a treat. CATNAPPED. The best book I read this year was I Who Have Never Known Men (Jacqueline Harpman). Audiobook: Strange Sally Diamond (Liz Nugent) was a magnificent/deeeeeeeply disturbing read. Worst: Annie Bot. Minus 4 stars. Enjoy the holidays. Love the channel.
Oh no! Bloody money hungry app Hahaha goddamn Dune and the author Muir tripped me up something chronic this year Oh I love I who have never known men! I also hated Annie bot
Your channel is awesome
Thanks so much!
Sounds like it was a nice reading year 😊
Merry Christmas for tomorrow 🎄
@@SageroseVin merry Christmas to you too x
I also do like no research about books before I read them. I like when i hear someone talk about it and then I get hooked and read it.
Yep same
Preferred way to pick up books

I’ll have to check if they have it - iconic couple
The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty books by Anne Rice (or anything by Anne Rice) would be my suggestion for next year.
Thanks for the rec!
I’ve read interview with a vampire but didn’t love the child vampire situation

I’ve given him the love and safety he deserved because his story was too upsetting to leave it that way

I felt the same way about the film
And hopefully!
🩷🤍 Thank you for introducing me to A Short Stay in Hell and The Tinker's Daughter this year I loved those books!
I am so glad you enjoyed them!

Hahaha the people you trust clearly have good taste then
