    SAME about A Little Life. I read it years and years ago and loved it and still do. I know people love to hate on it but I think they don’t want or can’t take the pain. Yanagihara has some of the most beautiful prose out there. Can’t wait to read Death Valley, Adelaide and My Dark Vanessa!

    • @ReadingWithMeg
      @ReadingWithMeg  9 месяцев назад +1

      Exactly I think it’s just one of those things that are too depressing for people and no one wants to hear it. I hope you like them!

    Michelle slept the whole week to be able to workout during your filming session! Thanks for the recommendations, I loved All's well and My dark Vanessa, I will look into Melissa Broder's books :)

    I'm participating in a Bunny Readathon so I'm re-reading and annotating Bunny now and will read All's Well for the first time after. 😄 can definitely relate to the chronic pain and excited to read another Mona Awad book!

    • @ReadingWithMeg
      @ReadingWithMeg  9 месяцев назад +1

      If you can relate to chronic pain then I definitely think you will love Alls Well!

    @sdruss83 9 месяцев назад +6

    Videos like this are important because we don't all like to just read extreme horror all the time, and I'd rather get lit fic recommendations from someone with similar tastes than, say, an English professor.

    • @ReadingWithMeg
      @ReadingWithMeg  9 месяцев назад +6

      I figured this video wouldn’t get a ton of love since it’s not my usual content but sometimes only reading horror is just TOO MUCH and it’s good to branch out

  • @nwreader

    It's nice to hear someone else actually get emotional over The Push. I felt like I was the only one 😂😂

      I’m definitely going to be reading more soon I’ve been really into this genre lately and it’s great to rest from horror

    A Little Life seems sorta more intimidating than hard extreme horror.

  • @saraa4353
    @saraa4353 9 месяцев назад

    I'm gonna buy Adelaide because of how you described it. I don't really read literary fiction but this book sounds soooo incredibly relatable.
    Around 5 months ago, I escaped a very toxic and abusive relationship which made me want to be single forever. I am currently suffering from PTSD and my mental health is egregious.
    Thank you for this video. 🖤Reading Adelaide will be a cathartic experience.

    • @ReadingWithMeg
      @ReadingWithMeg  9 месяцев назад

      I’m so sorry you went through that. I think that book would be cathartic for you for sure 🩷
