Omgosh Yasmine, you are so sweet! This comment means so much to me 😭 Hearing that you're excited to read is everything to me! I hope lots of good reads come your way! And thank you again for your kind words ☺️♥️♥️♥️
We're trying to assemble a lil lit fic community over here, come over and grab a seat! 😂 but totalllly feel you on that -- I feel like we have to sift through tons of people, but once you find your people its great! Theres a wonderful group of litfic booktubers on here, so you're in good (and kind) company! ☺️♥️

Thank you for the goodreads hack, I had no idea! But yes that's my favorite thing, another little constellation to map in our reading and a very funny rabbit hole to voluntarily fall down! Do you have a fav translator you've come across?
Haha I always approach these anticipated reads list wrapped in caution tape 😂😂😂 Im so glad to hear you liked Chouette! I feel like the Oshetsky gang is strongggg. So many people who enjoyed Chouette I know pre-ordered poor deer!
Hiiii I found your channel a couple of days ago, when I was home sick. So now I am slowly watching through all of your videos. Your tatse in books is just *chefs kiss*! Looove seeing some less hyped book recs
Aw, I am SOOOO so excited to read it! It sounds like a book that so many of us are going to get along with. April can't come fast enough, counting down the days!! ♥️♥️
Like Love and All Fours are on my list. Also preordered Leslie Jamison’s Splinters and No Judgment by Lauren Oyler. Definitely feeling the nonfiction new releases!
Wait, I feel like Ive heard of Splinters. Let me run to goodreads real quick. And oooooh Ive not read Oyler but all the litfic girlies love her! I also deeply trust your judgement so Ima just scribble these on my list right now 😂
ME TOO WITH THE MIRANDA JULY. literally on all fours in dm's and emails for an ARC it hurts it's been so long since her last book. if you haven't done any Miranda July, i rec her short story collection, No One Belongs Here More Than You! there's a tenderness to her characters. her writing finds odd ways into your heart, loiters for too long until you call it companionship. there's a strange wonder in all of her work. and if you want to check out her films, i think you'd like Kajillionaire!
Hands and kneeeeees, YES! And omgosh ok I am taking notes! Shocked that she does films too, thats incredible. You put it so beautifully Nathan, Im excited!
What you said about Helen Oyeyemi is totally true within myself! She was an author who for a long time I wanted to work my way through her whole catalog... but now that I'm on booktube there's just so many books I know about know idk if that that's still an attainable goal. I LOVED 'White is for Witching' and 'What is Not Yours is not Yours' but I couldn't have disliked 'Peaces' more, barely got through it! It felt so convoluted and pointless where her other books left me awestruck.
I find it infinitely fascinating how diverse the opinions on her books are, even within a person! And its like extremes, too! I'm so curious to see what people say about Parasol Against the Axe, really could go either way!
Hi Camille! Happy we crossed paths! ☺️♥️♥️ Theres a cozy lil corner of great litfic youtubers on here, but its def not the norm and kinda really hard to find haha, so I def feel you!!
These are the recommendations I've been looking for 😢❤ Wow, being a lit fic fan online can feel so isolating, I'm glad to have found this channel. I'm excited for a lot of these, you have such good taste. Do you have your Goodreads linked somewhere?
Hiiii! Grateful we found each other! And I totally hear you, the litfic corner is teeny (there are some wonderful litfic booktubera though!) And I hadnt thought to link my goodreads here, I'll add that to my bio here! ☺️ Thanks for hanging out!
Oh yes! I saw some goodies I must add to my tbr. All Fours, Liars, and More are already on my list, and I’m very excited to read them. 😊I want to give Come & Get It a try. I didn’t get around to Such A Fun Age.
this is my first video of yours and I am so excited to see literary fiction represented in this video omg. it seems like all of booktube is romance or fantasy these days (which happens to be the two genres i don’t generally read😅) I just subscribed 💗💗💗
Hi Lauren! It really does seems like a ton of people are searching for those litfic readers in this space, so Im glad the lil corner of booktube is growing! And that were finding each other! Thanks for hanging out, Im excited to continue connecting with you here!
Hiiiiii! I'm so happy you're here! Thank you for your sweet words! And what a fun new world you're about to slip into! Lots of beautiful, stunning, weirdo books to love in the litfit world hahaha
Megan Nolannn ❤ I think I'm going to have to do a reread as well. I can't go an entire year without some Nolan in my life. I too am very excited for the Heti and Nelson this year! And I hadn't heard about that Miranda July but I loveee her so I will definitely be adding that to my list. And not to add to your already long January list lol but I would put Beautyland on your radar. I'm only halfway through but it's fantastic and I think you'd really get on with it.
LOVED buddy reading it with you! And totally, I dont want to rush her creative process but am also BEGGING for her to give us something else 😂 so in the interim, will totally be rereading OHF. Ok Ive literally heard nothing but absolute praise from all my favs, you included, about that book! I am moving it up my list for sureeeeee!
January is truly SO stacked it’s nuts! Definitely looking forward to the new Kiley Reid and I’m soo curious about the memoir More now that you put it on my radar. It sounds fascinating! Another wild sounding memoir that’s on my radar for January is Sex With a Brain Injury by Annie Liontas! A writer that I admire posted about it on Insta and I haven’t been able to get it out of my head since haha. I just finished Strong Female Character by Fern Brady so I’m just going to preemptively claim 2024 as my memoir year. ❤
Ok started the Reid book, and can now with some data points, stand behind your excitement of it. Its totally giving HBO's Sex Lives of College Girls in the best way! And wait omgosh this sounds fascinating. Im DEF looking this up. And I fully support 2024 as the year of the memoir! Brady's book was so so special!
Just added so many holds to my library account!😅 Some other new releases I'm looking forward to in 2024: Beautyland by Marie-Helene Bertino; Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar; Sugar, Baby by Celine Saintclaire; Your Utopia (a short story collection) by Bora Chung
Soooooo many people are so excited for Beautyland and Martyr! Its gonna be a good year for all of yall (I got my hold read for those too!) and Ive not heard of that new Bora Chung! Thanks for spotlighting it, Im looking it up righttttt now!
oooo new manguso, would definitely be curious if the tone is the same as very cold people. For me i can’t wait for the new Hanif 😭 in a state of distress over it because I don’t want to buy a hardback lol
Omg I hope the Hanif hive enjoys his new release!!!! I need to stop holding myself back and finally read something by him but Im like physically incapable of reading about music. Actually, this new one is about basketball, right?! Maybe this is my entrypoint! Finally😂 And yes, the new Manguso sounds DELISHHHH
@@katsfieldnotes yes it is basketball themed! knowing his writing the basketball is only the jumping off point tho lol. his poetry is also not very music focused if you want another place to start
You trulyyyyy cant go wrong with either book! If you want some relationship-y stuff, acts of desperation is your girl. If you want something a lil panned out but still super character-driven, ordinary human failings will scratch that itch! I cant wait to watch her catalog get wide with future books, shes incredibleeee
In thine reflection, humankind complains because you nearly gave the world release. Abandoned trenches watched a soccer game; anomalies thy veins and bones repeat. Thy name was on the ballot angels cast; a nomination that you must accept. Romanov’s Winter Palace chanced collapse, reconstructed by your destiny neglect.

Late but always present! Stil trying to figure out what books I'm gonna read this year 😅 I already started "Sing, unburied, sing" By Jesmyn Ward, which is a pretty hard start, since inglish isn't my mother tongue.
Heyyyyyyy! Always appreciate you being here! And oooof, that book is a FEAT. I remember feeling car sick the entire time I read it. Such a worthy one to move through, even if you do it slowly!
"She (Emily Henry) can write about bowel movements and I will read it." You are hilarious! Love it! And I love your sweatshirt!!! Where did you find this gem?
She can truly rattle off an ingredients list and I would be perched! attentive! hanging off every word! And omgosh, can I just gush about how great it is?! Its SOOOO comfy! I got it from this lil etsy shop called BananaAndCompany!
@katsfieldnotes thanks, I think I may have to buy myself one. So the following books are not new releases. I thrifted some last year and recently ... I haven't read them yet, BUT I think you would find them intriguing: - All My Mother's Lovers by Ilana Masad -Skin Game (memoir) by Caroline Kettlewell -Back Talk (stories) by Danielle Lazarin - The Woman's Hour: The Great Fight To Win the Vote by Elaine Weiss - Three Women by Lisa Taddeo - The Braid by Laetitia Colombani - Other People's Clothes by Calla Henkel - The Dive From Clausen's Pier by Ann Packer And the following books I bought from a couple of indie book stores (I apologize if I've already reccommended any of the books above or below to you already. Lol) -The Woman In The Purple Skirt by Natsuko Imamura - The Anomaly by Herve Le Tellier - The Cat Who Saved Books by Sosuke Natsukawa - Girl One by Sara Flannery Murphy - TOAD by Katherine Dunn Happy reading, and thank you for the amazing content you create. I hope you're enjoying your reading journal.
I have the ARC for The Cemetery of Untold Stories…I haven’t read Alvarez in a long time and I’ve been putting off reading it because I don’t know if I will still connect with her writing like I did before (I think this is all PTSD from Acevedo’s Family Lore 😩)
Aw, it's a shame you didn't get on with it! But your def not alone in feeling like that, lots of people are saying the same. Im very curious what I'll think haha
I got to read Mouth through Netgalley and it was AMAZING 🤍 My all-time favorite short story collection ever, i literally cried multiple times. Also currently reading Catalina and it has a strong start so far!!
OMG all time fav! What high praise, I LOVE to hear that! Ive only read the first story so far and was blown away! So could definitely understand being a top read for sureeee. Def scared re: crying, but I'm ready. Grateful for your warning haha! And yes to Catalina! It's such a great one! You my friend seem to have excellllllent taste in lit 😂
I have been on booktube for years and there hasn't been a creator who has captured me in so long, except for you! Please keep creating - your recommendations and enthusiasm make me excited to read
Omgosh Yasmine, you are so sweet! This comment means so much to me 😭 Hearing that you're excited to read is everything to me! I hope lots of good reads come your way! And thank you again for your kind words ☺️♥️♥️♥️
I'm very simple, I see a Lit Fic channel and I subscribe. We need way more!
The litfic hive is so small here, but it gives me hope that there are more and more channels popping up. Happy you're here! ☺️❤️
Omg…yay for fellow lit fic fans ON THIS APP! 😂 I feel so alone in this bookish space and was so happy to see this video. Immediately subscribed. ❤
We're trying to assemble a lil lit fic community over here, come over and grab a seat! 😂 but totalllly feel you on that -- I feel like we have to sift through tons of people, but once you find your people its great! Theres a wonderful group of litfic booktubers on here, so you're in good (and kind) company! ☺️♥️

GR also lists the translator on each book page next to the author name and you click through to see what else they've translated.
Thank you for the goodreads hack, I had no idea! But yes that's my favorite thing, another little constellation to map in our reading and a very funny rabbit hole to voluntarily fall down! Do you have a fav translator you've come across?
The danger of clicking on this video 😳 my tbr is quaking.
Also, just went out and picked up Poor Deer today! Loved Chouette.
Haha I always approach these anticipated reads list wrapped in caution tape 😂😂😂 Im so glad to hear you liked Chouette! I feel like the Oshetsky gang is strongggg. So many people who enjoyed Chouette I know pre-ordered poor deer!
Hiiii
I found your channel a couple of days ago, when I was home sick.
So now I am slowly watching through all of your videos.
Your tatse in books is just *chefs kiss*! Looove seeing some less hyped book recs

Rainy soundscapes I know don't always do well on camera, but truly are my favorite! I'm glad you found it cozy too ☺️
Afterlife by Julia Alvarez! much more adult than Garcia Sisters and Time of Butterflies. I read it in January and I lovedddd it
You make everything sounds so good thank u for all the recs, i will be sure to check all of these out!
Hi there!! If you end up picking any of these up please let me know!
Like Love and All Fours are on my list. Also preordered Leslie Jamison’s Splinters and No Judgment by Lauren Oyler. Definitely feeling the nonfiction new releases!
Wait, I feel like Ive heard of Splinters. Let me run to goodreads real quick. And oooooh Ive not read Oyler but all the litfic girlies love her! I also deeply trust your judgement so Ima just scribble these on my list right now 😂
SIS! Motherhood? Art? New love?!?!? top of the list!! Splinters sounds incredibleeeee
ME TOO WITH THE MIRANDA JULY. literally on all fours in dm's and emails for an ARC it hurts it's been so long since her last book.

So glad you loved Ordinary Human Failings! I knew you would 😀
She is suchhhhhh a powerhouse, I was totally at her mercy! Thanks for the little nudge in its direction 😉♥️
And thank you for your channel, @@katsfieldnotes. I will be getting many recommendations from you too.

add it to merch idea bucket 😂
I clicked on this SO fast. I’m ready 🤓📝
That's represent s me so much hahaha 🤓☝️
Im sooo excited for the Nolan and for Karla’s new book. And Martyr!
Immediately added Like Love and Swimming in Paris to my list. There’s also going to be a new Emezi!
Dude Marty sounds soooooo good!
I SAW SHE DROPPED IT YEST
Just added so many holds to my library account!😅
Some other new releases I'm looking forward to in 2024: Beautyland by Marie-Helene Bertino; Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar; Sugar, Baby by Celine Saintclaire; Your Utopia (a short story collection) by Bora Chung
Soooooo many people are so excited for Beautyland and Martyr! Its gonna be a good year for all of yall (I got my hold read for those too!) and Ive not heard of that new Bora Chung! Thanks for spotlighting it, Im looking it up righttttt now!
Adding Swimming in Paris and Alphabetical Diaries to my TBR!
Eeeeeep! I request a report back when you get to it!!
oooo new manguso, would definitely be curious if the tone is the same as very cold people. For me i can’t wait for the new Hanif 😭 in a state of distress over it because I don’t want to buy a hardback lol
Omg I hope the Hanif hive enjoys his new release!!!! I need to stop holding myself back and finally read something by him but Im like physically incapable of reading about music. Actually, this new one is about basketball, right?! Maybe this is my entrypoint! Finally😂 And yes, the new Manguso sounds DELISHHHH
@@katsfieldnotes yes it is basketball themed! knowing his writing the basketball is only the jumping off point tho lol. his poetry is also not very music focused if you want another place to start
Weird black girl sounds like an amazing book and describes what people probably think of me
Ive have truly never related to a comment more. Weird Black girls -- unite!
I really want to read something by Megan Nolan now 😊
You trulyyyyy cant go wrong with either book! If you want some relationship-y stuff, acts of desperation is your girl. If you want something a lil panned out but still super character-driven, ordinary human failings will scratch that itch! I cant wait to watch her catalog get wide with future books, shes incredibleeee
@@katsfieldnotes thank you! ☺️ either sounds great but you had me at relationship-y haha
We have the same couch!

In thine reflection, humankind complains
