I would love to read Call Me By Your Name again for the first time. It’s still great on re-read, but it doesn’t have quite the same magic and punch in the gut
The twilight was SO relatable and I only get that with some contemporary romance, actually just for the summer did that for me, which I know was a miss for you but was EVERYTHING for me 😅
I read Twilight the year it came out. I was 28 years old. It was definitely a case of right book right time. I absolutely loved it. It really sparked a new kind of excitement for reading, even though I was already an avid reader. I've read all of Simone de Beauvoir's writings as well as her husband's, Jean Paul Sartre. Both were such devastatingly beautiful thinkers.💙 Thank you for another great video. It's always a treat to receive a new vlog from you.
Oooooh my god I am so with you on The Raven Cycle, I am just enamoured with Maggie's writing. And yes for A Little Life and Betty... though I also don't know if I can handle that pain again hahaha. I really need to get to Seven Summers btw, you got me so excited for that. And Starless Sea supremacy. I have actually been nervous to re-read for the same reasons you mentioned with Ten Thousand Doors, but seeing how well it has held up for you on re-reads gives me hope!! 🤩
I read twilight when I was in my early 40's. I can remember listening to the Twilight audiobook and I would literally forget to breathe. The rest of the book series I physically read, and I remember sneaking off to the bathroom at work to read just a few more pages. I was consumed.
You make me want to pick up ten thousand doors of January again…I had a library hold of it but never got to it. I would also love to hear your winter book recs…
Jane Eyre is my top pick for this. I read it in high school and remembered just enough to spoil it when I reread it as an adult. Then it became my favorite book of all time. I wish I had never read it so long ago when I didn’t appreciate it as much as I do now.
ive read the hush hush series in high school and obsessed over them. ive since reread the first book multiple times but i remember begging my mom to buy me the rest of the series lol so it was a great time.
Yup, I remember that feeling of reading Twilight.... the world just stopped so I could flip pages. Now, years later, I know it isn't the best of the best, but back then, in that moment, it was everything. I would love that experience again... to just be lost for hours in a book. As for rereading Twilight, I don't know... there's so many other books I'm desperate to get to.
My choices would be Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro and Roadside Picnic by the Strugatskys Both are only mysteries because the reader doesn't know everything and is slowly given hints about the world. Both worlds are so fucked up.
I have a couple of them would love 🥰 to read War and Peace again and The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings I would be in heaven if I could do it again prayers and blessings for you and your family including your boyfriend and his family love your Aussie family friend John ❤❤❤
I didn't read TWILIGHT until the movie was announced. Remember when BURGER KING had their promotion TEAM EDWARD or TEAM JACOB scratch-off tickets? HAHA My cousins and friends would take our Twilight action figures to BK three times a week to try and fill that album with the character stamps. 🤣
No offense to Twilight… but no. Sorry. I would never read it again. I mean to each their own but I love reading about vampires and that’s not one of them. Carmilla, Bram Stoker Dracula, House of Hunger, Any vampire novel written by Anne Rice I read is better. I reread Interview With the Vampire and I almost forgot how much I actually loved this book. Love the video! I’ve read a few of those books. 😊
I think she also means nostalgic books from her youth. Because many books I find cringy now were my everything back then. It’s YA for a reason. Everyone goes through an awkward teen fase.
One book I feel this way about is 'I Follow You' by Peter James. It's creepy and intriguing the way the main character descends into more and more deranged behaviour. After the first read, the excitement and dread over how far he might go is never the same.
I'm very happy you have returned to RUclips

I need to reread that! I love it so much!
The twilight was SO relatable and I only get that with some contemporary romance, actually just for the summer did that for me, which I know was a miss for you but was EVERYTHING for me 😅
I love when it does happen though!
I think it would be Terry Pratchett's Discworld series for me, I love re-reading it but I would also love to read it for the first time again 💜

I really need to read more of her work!

Isn’t it crazy how some are so good to reread and others make us nervous!
Oh man, I like all of your picks. I wish I could read for the first time again is the ACOTAR series.
Yes!!

SAME! So consuming!
You make me want to pick up ten thousand doors of January again…I had a library hold of it but never got to it. I would also love to hear your winter book recs…
It’s so good! I’ll definitely plan to do a winter rec video!

I do need to reread that one!
ive read the hush hush series in high school and obsessed over them. ive since reread the first book multiple times but i remember begging my mom to buy me the rest of the series lol so it was a great time.
Nothing like that feeling!
Twilight was my everything! It's what got me into reading!
Yes!!
I enjoyed The Wheel of Time series when I read it, but I’m doing a reread (Audible this time) and I am enjoying it so much more!
That’s awesome!
the starless sea is also my absolute favorite book of all time and i get so, so stoked when someone else talks about how much they love it. 🥹😍
Omg yay!

Yes yes yes! And I feel that!
“I’m the first one crying” so relatable 😅
Soooo happy you made this!
💕
Thank you I am sooo happy that you love Twilight as much as I do.
I can’t deny how much it meant to me!
My choices would be
Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
and
Roadside Picnic by the Strugatskys

Ella Enchanted for me! ❤ I read it in 5th grade
Aw, I’ve never read it!
Do you plan to read the Raven Cycle graphic novel when it comes out next year? (It’s totally possible youve answered this before and I forgot😅)
I think i forgot about it! I need to!
Yes!!! Twilight!!❤❤ That’s how I feel about Court of Mist and Fury too
So so good!
I have a couple of them would love 🥰 to read War and Peace again and The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings I would be in heaven if I could do it again prayers and blessings for you and your family including your boyfriend and his family love your Aussie family friend John ❤❤❤

The Twilight craze was so fun!

I’ve never heard of it!
