Wellness is fantastic!
CHARLOTTE!!! Appreciate the video as ever 📖 🪱 💚
I adored clear. I was recommended it by a book seller and pre ordered it and was so happy that I did.
Glad to hear you loved Clear! I thought it was such a quiet, lovely (and surprisingly hopeful) book.
Is Kunzro working his ray through all the colours? Red Pill, White Tears, Blue Ruin… wonder what’s next!
Thanks for sharing your faves 😊
I hope he his because there's still lots of colours out there! He can't stop now! 😂
Read Hari Kunzru's debut novel, The Impressionist. Really good stuff.
Really enjoyed this video. I read The Namesake a few years ago and loved it, still remember many of the scenes in the book. Very powerful family story. Just finished The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon, and thought it was excellent.
Thank you! Another commenter told me there's also a movie of the Namesake, which might be worth checking out! Apparently it's a very good adaptation! I'll check out the blurb of the frozen river! 😁
I read Ship of Magic a couple of months ago and loooovedddd it! I read the Farseer Trilogy by her last year/end of 2022 for the first time and really fell in love with it. I think you'll find that you're dying to get back into the world and want to keep going with the books in quick succession, that happened to me even though I wouldn't usually read books in a series like that almost back to back. Any fantasy I read from now on will be judged against Robin Hobb! 😂
Ooo! Yes I feel that already, like this will become the gold standard for fantasy books from now on for me and everything else has to be as good!

Great video!! I have added a few to my tbr! Also, Hobb is the best! I finished reading her entire Realm of the Elderlings series last year, (a project I have been doing for a few years)of which Liveships is a part and it is one of my all time favourite reading experiences.
OMG - Delphine De Vigan on your list!!! I love, love this author. I would highly recommend the other 3 books of her! So Haaaapyyyy!
Please do watch the movie “Namesake” also amazing as the book. I have Lucie Riko on my night stand - so happy to hear your positive review!
Ooo I didn't know that movie existed so thank you so much for the recommendation! 😍
@@charlottemolloy Its really, really good. mira Nair is director and I really liked her from “Kama Sutra”
I agree about Edible Woman. It's not Atwood's best. I really enjoyed Blind Assassin. I also want to read Alias Grace, but for some reason I can't bring myself to do it because I think it's the last of Atwood's non-dystopia books I've left to read and I'm not ready to be done. I've read Oryx and Crake and really enjoyed it. I also loved The Handmaid's Tale when I read it 25 years ago but to be perfectly honest, i tried to reread it when the sequel came out a few years ago and it just didn't hold up. Of course it was genius when she published it in 1985, but I think it's been done better since then.
I think the Hari Kunru book sounds amazing. I've put it on hold at the library. In the meantime, I've checked out The Red Pill, which also sounds good.
Jhumpa Lahiri was been among my favorites for years and years. The Namesake was my first. I've also read Unaccustomed Earth, The Lowland and some of Roman Stories. In all honesty I don't like her recent work, since she started writing in Italian. I saw her when she came to Seattle last autumn and someone asked her what her favorite recent reads were and she made it a point to say she didn't recognize some of the biggest names out there, like Barbara Kingsolver and James McBride because she only reads old Renaissance texts. I think that kind of shows in her recent writing, in all honesty. She doesn't have her finger on the pulse of contemporary story-telling at all, and yet the stories she tells are almost uniformly contemporary.
Clear and Kids Run the Show are also on my (way too long) list. Great video!
Hope you enjoy Blue Ruin, and I have now gotten myself a copy of Red Pill too! 😍
Am i the only one who likes books that feature covid?
