I think you're one of the best booktubers we have, Olive! I am always impressed by the mix of books you read. I've never heard of any of them, tbh. I also love that you read books about art. I'm an amateur art lover and I'm always looking for new books to help me better understand the world and market so I'll be picking up Breakfast at Sotheby's, for sure.
@@abookolive you're welcome. I mean it. I've recommended you to several book loving friends. Have you read Among the Janeites, by the way? It's about Jane Austen fandom. I think you would really like it.
I swear my Goodreads to-read list has doubled if not tripled since I started following you! I love the way you talk about the books you find; it reminds me that there's SO much out there for me to learn about if I so choose, and it makes me excited to give it all a shot.
Definitely science next. I love your non fic choices, they are always so inspiring. Look forward to your thoughts on the Istanbul biography - if you can call a history of a place a biography 🤔
Agree completely about Katie. She inspired me to make my own reading chart, though mine is hand written. Love how it reminds me of my intentions, every morning when I open the fridge. 🤣 I'm fascinated by Gaskell and Austen since discovering Booktube last year, so those books were appealing. Science next?
Streaming this video on the television with my library card catalog open on my laptop is the state in which I find myself in. There are so many interesting books in this video!
Hi Olive! Love your channel! I am so with you when it comes to learning about how others read, I find it so fascinating to learn how people became readers and what they are reading now. Really, I’m just super nosy 😂
I had the very same response that you did to No Time to Spare! I actually do read quite a bit of science fiction, but for some reason, I never got around to Le Guin's novels. Yet, the moment that I heard about No Time to Spare, I knew I wanted to read it. It was my first 5-star book of 2019. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. You're going to kill me with all of these non-fiction recommendations, though, Olive! I have 35 non-fiction books on my 2019 TBR, some of which came from you. I've already read nine, plus nine others that weren't even on my TBR (following rabbit holes!), and now you present me with even more delicious-sounding books--with still more to come. Ah, well, at least it keeps me busy and I don't have to worry about bail money 😇
I've recently read a book by Wendy Lesser talking about people who write in English as a second language and it was great. So happy to see a title by her, I'll look for it. Great haul, can't wait for the next 2 parts!
Love seeing booktubers from my area! And with similar reading tastes! Lol I usually don't read too much non fiction but I've randomly been reading a lot lately. Excited to see what others you have to haul! :)
Science please!! I love your non-fiction hauls! I am fairly new to nonfiction, I have been only reading it for 2 years, and your channel has played a huge part in that. Thank you for opening my eyes to a wonderful genre that before I thought was boring, turns out I just hadn’t found a good one and now that I have I can’t stop!
I’m also a big nonfiction fan. I’m currently reading “Carnegie”, by Peter Krass so I am learning quite a bit about the Pittsburgh area and would love to see the Carnegie Library.
I have a couple of videos that show off the main branch in our Oakland neighborhood! 1: ruclips.net/video/qlhDVIOXUg8/видео.html 2: ruclips.net/video/bhs5czg1SLQ/видео.html
What a great recommendation video! I just added In the Sanctuary of Outcasts o my TBR list. It sounds fascinating. I'd love to see your animals, nature, plants, and food recommendations next.
All of these sound so interesting, especially No Time to Spare and Instanbul! You really inspire me to add some nonfiction to reading. I NEED Chain Mail Bikini.
Le Guin kept a blog with several of her essays up on it. They took a few down because they were going to appear in that anthology, but if you read it and want more, be sure to check out the rest of her blog.
Montaigne is amazing- and significant for the history of philosophy I am really curious what you thingk about (part of) his thoughts! But, to be honest, I am exited to hear your thoughts on most of this books! Definitely hear for the memoir, culture and history ones!
It would make sense that I haven't heard of him since I'm not well read on philosophy. But hopefully he'll make fore a good toe in the pond, so to speak!
Animals and nature has my vote but it kind of looks like all science is the winner (and I'm excited about seeing those books too!). Great haul- thanks for sharing! I'm particularly interested in the book on India and House of the Dead about Siberia.
Looking forward to the next haul videos. Paper: An Elegy by Ian Sansom is really good. The Philip Ball one is excellent too and can recommend the Secret Life of Colour. The two I was going to send via Good Reads you already have on your TBR!
Haha - why does it not surprise me that you were going to recommend me books I already wanted to read? Our tastes are very similar, I've continued to find through our interactions!
I need to read The Victorian and the Romantic. I didn't realize it was the same book as Mrs. Gaskell and Me! I plan on reading Gaskell's biography of Charlotte Bronte for Victober, but I'm definitely going to take it with a big ol' grain of salt!
That Le Guin book looks great! I'm a big fan of her fiction but had no idea that she did some non fiction as well, will have to check it out :) This is a very interesting haul, looking forward to the rest of it!
Animals/nature/food next please! I already voted for that the first time round 🙂 But I also wrote down three books from this haul - you always find the most interesting books! "In the sanctuary of outcasts" reminds me of a novel on my TBR shelf, Moloka'i, which is set in a leprosy settlement in Hawaii. Looking forward to your next video in this series (even though my wishlist might explode at some point 😆)
ALL SCIENCE 😍 As always, I had to switch over to my goodreads app to mark some of these books SO MANY TIMES during this video! Haha, I love it. I always find the best books from you because you read even more diversely than I do (and my friends call me a very diverse reader... which is accurate, lol) and it’s awesome!!!! Love it.
Seeing this video title in my feed is so exciting. I love the biography section with Austen, Gaskell and Brontë, I've also been in a bit of a women biography mood lately. I'm the same with the art book theme - I'm still quite new with exploring art and what I like/what I don't, but I think there's a part of me that in particular is drawn to the in between - the viewer and the art, the way we interpret and value art. In that way, the books you've got in the genre sounds fab!
A wonderful selection! I am super curious about „Jeans“, my pop culture nerd jumping out here 😄 I can‘t believe I, an art history student, don‘t own Breakfast at Sotheby‘s! I just hear my professors screaming 🤣 I‘m super interested in food non-fiction, so I look forward that! Although, you know I love all the non-fiction!
Hi Olive! "Both" --- I cannot wait to see what you have for us! (Love your Non-Fiction recommendations --- I am reading LAB GIRL and LOVING it - Thanks to you!
@@abookolive -- I only have 100 pages to go! I have been reading/listening on audio - I have also bought SEEDS & FEATHERS (both recommendations from you!), as well xx Thank you for ALL your wonderful non-fiction (and all other) recommendations - Love your reading & reviewing style! xx
Thank you for bringing my attention to "The Victorian and the Romantic." I am on page 228 at preset, and am really enjoying the book. I look forward to your review of the book. (You should really read it next, it moves fast and is excellent). Have you read her other book, "Bleaker House?"
Olive,I love your videos!!You speak in a unique way about books that fascinates me and also helps me practice my English since it is not my mother language.Thank u(ps plz do the sciences next)❤❤
Hi Olive. What a wonderful selection of titles !! Please video: Animals/Nature/Food for your next haul. Thanks for all the hard work you put into you channel.
I'm trying to decide which nonfiction history book to get on audible, already own a few like sapiens, homo deus , silk roads , history of the world by Alan Marr, Jack Weatherfords Genghis Khan and Mongol queens and a few WW2 books. I would appreciate some more examples. Thanks))
I’ll have to check out that Bronte biography, I really enjoyed Jane Harman’s bio of Jane Austen. I do think Gaskell’s bio is worth a read, if just because it’s an excellent example of a Victorian biography. Accuracy wasn’t really valued yet, it was more about painting a portrait. It’s worth noting that reputations were ruined posthumously by well-intentioned but overly-honest biographies. But there’s an intimacy to a biography by a beloved friend or family member that just can’t be achieved by someone writing a few hundred years later, no matter how talented they are. Anyway, I hope this doesn’t come across as long-winded or pushy. I am just really passionate about this topic!
This wasn't long-winded or pushy at all! Quite the opposite - I really appreciated your take on this. I'm taking my resolve not to read it under consideration - I'm thinking I may pick it up after I read a more modern biography. Thanks for your insight!
Hi, I really liked your video, I was wondering what to read next and you gave me some interesting choices, definitely looking up that cat book 🐈👀 Greetings from 🇸🇦
That just reminds me of that Gilmore Girls episode where Lorelai and Rory go to the Harvard grad's house for that awkward WASP-y dinner so she can learn more about how to get admitted to Harvard and Lorelai ends up talking about that song. ...Sorry if you haven't seen that show lol
Same reaction. Oh, Istanbul... one of the most beautiful cities I had the pleasure to visit. (though at that time the general mood was a bit... explosive)
I think you're one of the best booktubers we have, Olive!

Absolutely love your love for nonfiction. It’s contagious! *runs to Goodreads to add all the things to my TBR*

Hi Olive! ‘Science’ should be fun next
Noted! 😊
Ugh, remind me not to watch your hauls unless I have space for 20 more books on my to read list.
What great finds!
The blessing and curse of booktube 😂
Definitely science next. I love your non fic choices, they are always so inspiring. Look forward to your thoughts on the Istanbul biography - if you can call a history of a place a biography 🤔
I love your videos, but my favorite are your nonfiction videos. I’ve discovered so many interesting books through you. 🙂
I love that you have non fiction hauls and they are not necessarily the viral ones. It's hard to find accounts for non-fiction, moreso variety of it.
Great haul! These all sound really interesting! Looking forward to your next non fiction haul.
Thank you! The next part should be coming in early June :)
