17:28 "humor is subjective. people might not find me funny, that's fine. I am, no matter what you say, naturally, okay." made me burst out laughing, as did "That's a lie, I just lied like that post worker did". also yes Bahni Turpin is top-tier audiobook narration!!! Been listening to The Legacy of Orisha and she is phenomenal.
‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ That’s so BS about the PO Box situation sorry you had to go though that
😂😂😂 I literally just finished reading Olive Grove in Ends just before I clicked on this video! It drags a bit in the middle with a lot of religious redundancy. 3/5
I just know I’ll feel the same way if/when I continue reading
Not you getting us together about minding the business you gave us 😂😂😂😂😂😂
You see how I flipped it on y’all 😭😭
@@DezmondZ I sure did! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
No they didn’t ask you to repurchase and get refunded for something THEY LOSS! 😅🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 “b*tch I don’t have a green jersey” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
You are not alone, I’ll have two chapters left and I’ll go start another book 😂 also I have Vladimir but I have yet to read it. I think the cover just caught my eye at the time lol
I bought a smaller shelf for my physical tbr and that has helped me see how many books I have and it’s only two shelves so I can’t buy too much 🫰🏽
Sing unburied sing I loved but loved Salvage The Bones even more . Blahdiggityblah I’ve over commented 📕🪱💚
Read Unsettled in January i think and I can relate to your take . I really liked the chapters from the grandma and kinda wanted that to be the whole book 📕🪱💚
I totally agree as well. This was one of my most anticipated 2024 releases and it just fell flat for me. The grandma’s story line was so much better that sometimes it felt like two different writers/books.
Read Shark Heart about a month ago and though i dislike romance , I don’t mind love stories and the book taught me that. It won’t be a top read , but I did enjoy it . 📕🪱💚
Love your channel, Love your energy, and love how you have me laughing… You are huhlarious! Love love 💚💚💚🫡 oh, imma check out the Prince of Monkeys. thnks for the rec… 😉📚
I def added Prince of Monkeys to my TBR because of Dez! I still ain’t got around to reading it
You are brave enough to do t. I should do it but I probably got like 1000 books or something. It would take some time.🤭
😂😂😂. I wish I could get some your DNFs. You have some bangers!
I need to toss ‘em lol
As a “senior citizen”, I am a die-hard DNFer. I don’t have enough time to waste on a book that doesn’t resonate with me. Glad to hear your stance on the matter!
Bit*h I don’t have a green Jersey 😂😂
Lmao you discussing buying multiple copies of homegoing was hilarious 😂
Lol the intro made me laugh for some reason. I loved the video. Glad I found your channel. “I just lied just like that post office worker did” cleared me 😂😂😂😂
I love a fellow DNF advocate. I have too many books to read to care about books I don't like. I followed you first on TikTok, and I have to say I absolutely love and prefer the longer content you do here on CZcams. You're my number one source for literary fiction book recs.
I have two sets of bookshelves. The big one is my unreads and the little one is my reads. I get rid of most books after I read them so it’s not like I haven’t read many books, but I could go a year at my current reading pace without running out of things to read.
That’s a hell of a way to start a book off 😂
“That’s a lie, I just lied just like that post worker did” HAHAHAHA
Seeing Chuck Tingle’s “Bury Your Gays” on your shelf reminds me that whenever I need a laugh, I go to his Wikipedia page and look at his list of “Selected works.” I can’t repeat the titles of most of his books on here but they’re hilarious.🤣
Identifying strongly as my TBR, shelf a after shelf, is out of control.
What is title of the book about the dancer who becomes a Rockette?
You kept it real about the damn pizza parties lmao. I can buy pizza with my check.
“They hitchhike? Girl…” 😂😂😂
Yas, Razorblade Tears was God tier. Where the movie at???
So glad I found your channel I love your personality. I'll be adding quite a few of theses to my TBR.
You're lying, you're a liar who lies! 😅
You're lying, you're a liar who lies! 😅
Brandy and Full Moon was my jam when I was stationed overseas. I still have that CD, I may have to pull that junt back out.
Your channel showed up in my feed and I am excited about your book recommendations.
I DNF'd 7 books in a row the other day. Normally I would pick up a random book that appealed to me off the shelves and that'll get me out of a slump but this time I had a specific reading goal to accomplish (long books over 450 pages) so my pool of options was much smaller. I ended up picking up a book I didn't remember at all and it had such a strong first chapter it pulled me right out of my slump. It's dragging a bit now and I don't see it getting higher than a 4 but I'm still going strong. I found your channel somewhere between the 2nd and 6th DNF and your videos soothed my frustration
Commentary and singing is always on point 😆 I’m picking one of Wanda’s books up in September.
Dezmond you got to stop MIA us we need our laugh ok. But for real I miss you when you don't post I understand that you are busy like we all are. It's good to see you when you do post. ❤❤
“Creeping, crawling a** book” is about to be my new line when I DNF a slow af book 😭😭😭😭 I enjoyed Margo’s Got Money Troubles more than I expected. My review was similar. There was a bit of a lull in the middle of this one but overall I gave it a 3.5!
I would love some readings vlogs from you 😊😊😊
😂😂😂 “I don’t want no creepy crawly ssa book” I laugh through everyone of your vids 😂😂😂
And I be so serious 😂😂
@@DezmondZ that’s what makes it even funnier 😂😂😂
Hi Dezmond, I love your fun personality, & thanks for the great book recommendations.
This was a great idea. The first book you spoke about , with Issa in the bed, I tried to see it as well when watching it. I couldn't see it either . Lol "Molly would have been wopped."
Dezmond, do you think you could either do CZcams chapters or list the books you talk about in the description? Otherwise I need to make sure I have pen and paper handy to write the names of these books. 'cause you know you have me wanting to read them 😊
🫡 I need to be more mindful of doing that. I always forget.
@@DezmondZ Thanks for considering!
❤❤❤
i love a multi generational drama...❤
😊❤😊 love me some Desmond zee............😊😊😊😂
💛💛
I found How Not To Drown In A Glass of Water at the library and immediately grabbed it. I can’t wait to start it 😊 also when you started singing Back To Life I just finished listening to it lmao
I hope you love it as much as I did since I never shut up about it lol.
I already wanted half the books in your last recommendation video, now youre adding more?? 😭😂💕
Just doing my job 😭😭
Here comes algorithm food. 🥳
Currently reading Grown Women❤ yesss I love family drama tooo
♥️♥️
My TBR is growing!! ☺
