    May chaos everywhere reign! Wrap up are my favorite parts of BookTube.

    Have A Trace of Sun and Wifedom in my TBR pile which has now grown even bigger thanks to your three wrap up videos🤣

      Always happy to add to a TBR pile 😜
      You are in for a treat with both A Trace of Sun and Wifedom 🤩

    Were you attacked or the victim of a falling piece of furniture?😳 Ti Amo is going on my never ending TBR.

      That was Charlie knocking the Hoover into me 🙄
      I think Ti Amo is one book we will agree on!! 🤩

    I've read Legends and Lattes and thought it was ok. The Nayler sounds good! Thank you for sharing your reads. Hope whatever fell on you did not break or hurt anybody or anydog!

      No one was harmed in the falling of the Hoover 😂 luckily it’s just my cheapy lightweight one that I keep upstairs for when I can’t be arsed to lug the big one up 😂

    A YA romance is one of your top books!!! 😱😱😱 Pleased it warmed your heart though 😘❤️❤️
    Ouch I felt that Hoover!!
    Need to read ti amo ❤
    Another great wrap up Gem 📚❤

      Yeah, but YA in the way the Naughts and Crosses is YA. Have you read it??
      You really do need to read Ti Amo!! Everyone needs to read that book!!

    Lovely wrap. You’ve got quite a mix of books. Bummer to hear about Council of Dolls as I’ve just picked that one up from the bookstore. 😅

    • @GemofBooks

      Hopefully you’ll disagree mate 😂 I think I’ve just read better books doing similar things.

    Legends and lattes, you're not the last, I think that I may be though 🤦.
    I read ti amo on your recommendation (my library also put it in their women in translation month reel too) and I agree such a great read, beautifully written but heartbreaking, so glad you highlighted it, thank you!

    • @GemofBooks

      I’m so glad you lived Ti Amo too!! And delighted that you picked it up on my recommendation. You have made my day!! 🧡

    I thought A Trace of Sun would be shortlisted. It’s one of those books that has stayed with me. When you talked about I felt all the emotions again. I was gifted Wifedom from Alice, it’s my next nonfiction to read. Once again my tbr list grows after your video 📚

    • @GemofBooks
      @GemofBooks  Месяц назад

      A Trace of Sun has stayed with me too. The most underrated from the longlist in my opinion.
      Wifedom is right up your alley. Alice was bang on with that one 🧡

    I wish I would've enjoyed The Mountain in the Sea as much as you did. I felt the threads took so long to come together that I stopped caring. Also I wanted more octopuses and less slave ship.

    • @GemofBooks

      I can see what you mean. I think I was burned out on literary fiction when I picked it up, so it was the right time for me ☺️

    Recently picked up a copy of the Nayler so glad to hear it’s good!
    And you have all my respect for continuing to read the Women’s Prize books. As soon as A Trace of Sun wasn’t shortlisted it completely fell off my radar, but your glowing review has put it back on there 😅

      Oh and Ti Amo has been on my shelf for ages and I *really* need to get to it!!!

    • @GemofBooks
      @GemofBooks  Месяц назад

      😂😂 I still have 4 from the WP that I didn’t get to, I’m determined to read them before the 25 longlist is released 😂
      A Trace of Sun is well worth a read though!

    • @GemofBooks
      @GemofBooks  Месяц назад

      You could literally read it in a day!! No excuses Ben!!

    The Fraud could have been brilliant but just didn't work overall. I did love Bright Fear but then I do read a lot of poetry. I shall look for Clementine. Wifedom was fascinating. I read Ti Amo this week based on your recommendation. So sad and so good.

      You are the second person to tell me they’ve read Ti Amo after I talked about it. I’m so glad that it’s getting some love 🥰
