Thanks for the interesting recommendations, some new to me. I love the sound of your favourite book. I am obsessed with poetry (especially contemporary), but I also read a lot of fantasy, magical realism & thrillers. I must read Toni Morrison, been meaning to now for ages - my next mission. I'll never forget the first time I read Ralph Ellison's 'Invisible Man' - very impactful. I am an old fella who's been lucky enough to make poetry, review writing & literary essays his career. Yes, I know, I am very fortunate. Really looking forward to following your adventure with books. Thanks for the bookish inspiration. (Ah, Mary Oliver - yes, love her poetry to bits!) PS: yes, I'm a slow reader too - an absolute indulgence!

Hi 😊 I loved the island of missing trees!! So beautifully writting! Hope you like and I'm curious to know your toughts😊🎉

The more casual book chats on Photo Booth, the better!

Have watched you since you were grossed out by Ottessa Moshfegh's stories years ago 😸😆, always aware when you haven't posted in a bit and glad to see you 👍 Bless you for taking your time reading in a world of people rushing to brag about how many books they claim to have read

always look forward to your vids 🤍

I’m sending you love❤❤❤

Thank You for sharing!!

I searched up "booktube tags" and now i'm totally doing this!! <3

I definitely agree with you, Água Viva is a book that you have to take your time with it, so beautifully written and profound, I love Lispector’s work, she’s amazing. I’m currently reading Annie John and it really is that precious, so interesting. Love from Brazil

❤❤❤

So exciting to hear about all these opportunities opening up for you. Always appreciate your taste in books and will be sure to check out the music recommendations. Beautiful poem as well btw!

You are such an underrated CZcamsr❤

The only thing I’m disappointed in is the Xbox because PlayStation is better

Can you please give me feed back and tell em how I can improve? The waves engulfed my dismantled body My heart pulverized My bones shattered Your reigning prosperity was my sole priority To guarantee your happiness Was to guarantee my sanity Everyone displays their affection Everyone refuses our solitary Our affairs are for others to publicize I perish on our pedestal To provide you a sanctuary

so inspiring as ever x

Cool seeing your book music pairings :)

Poetry form? Don't it have any form . I search about it but never found a single details video

I’m sending you love❤

That "Love Songs of WEB Dubois" was a rare long-book excursion for me, but it was well worth it 👍

Really nice 🥰🫶🏽

Loved seeing the video of you out there reading your poetry! Thank you for sharing.

Definitely have to listen to that podcast episode with April Gibson. Her collection sounds amazing

Loved this video, thanks for ur recommendations ❤

i read small worlds at the beginning of the year and i loved it!! <3 its one of my fave books ive read so far this year

Loved this video. So much variety and interesting things. Thanks.

Your reading and poetry is very beautiful ❤️😊!

Yes! Three is the golden number for series I agree

It seems like the end just cut off? Not complaining but just wanted to hear how you ended your review.

I googled "a book that feels the way sza music does" and now I'm here. THANK YOUUUUU also... any book recs for saturn by sza???

The barnes and noble blackout is deeply relatable. Love that youre being intentional about your writing practice!

love ur vidsssss

Yes a piece of any kind by Sayaka Murata would get me reading that magazine just like that! 👍 At this point anyone who includes her instead of crying about being confused by her has passed the literary test in my view. Your review of "Small Worlds" was brutally honest starting out with raves but cooling later despite your admiration of the author in general. I don't know if I do that myself, once I love an author, like Murata again, I might well defend them no matter what 😆 What happened at the end so rude of the video to cut you off like that, I know you can't take that guy anywhere, right? 😸😆

love your videos.

I’m sending you love❤❤

Can’t wait to hear more about these poetry books! I try to focus on them more during April in honor of poetry month.

Congratulations on your award and happy very belabelated birthday! I found Rouge to be really boring, wish I had DNFd

The icon❤

Love these!! Also can we get a book rec for Saturn?

I've heard that Rebecca was a figment of Eileen's imagination. Is there anything to this?

would love to see an earl sweatshirt version of this vid

1:40 you're so me fr

This is such a feel good vid/tour 🥰 You also reminded me that I've been meaning to get into Jamaica Kincaid.

Hi. 😊 Loved your plants and your looks! The moon necklace is so cute. I've read Annie John this year and loved it so much. I really like books about mother-daughter relationship ❤

Can you make a video on how you make notes?

🤩 had to watch and rewatch to add some books in the wishlist!!

Ok, wild and precious is getting borrowed ASAP! Ive been so off of audiobooks lately, I feel like itll be the perf thing to ease back into with

Slow and intentional with reading this year. Thank you because I needed to hear this. I had rough start to the year and haven’t finished any books yet (one DNF). I started Sugar by Bernice McFadden last week and I’m enjoying so far. I plan to read Agua Viva as my next Clarice Lispector. The first one I read was Near to the Wild Heart and it was phenomenal. She is a very dense and profound writer for sure, so definitely keep taking your time with it. Also unrelated but I listened to Saturn by SZA and thought of you lol. The existentialism and space references

Love that you're reading Aqua Viva. I hope to reread it this year.
