@@whistletoe No problem
Sign me up to petition a ban on movie covers for book covers. I know we shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but ngl sometimes it is a deciding factor for me whether to read/own a book especially when the original cover was soooo much better. I lol'd when you talked about the book cover for My Dark Vanessa. I share the same sentiment on the black and white book cover. The book cover you have is sooo much better. I've also seen recommendations on My Dark Vanessa, but you've convinced me to add it to my tbr with this video.
My dark Vanessa…holy shit…if anyone ever wonders how grooming works and why age of consent is a thing, we should just throw that book directly at their heads.
my goodreads 'want to read' list is filling uuuuuuuup
i love that your faves seem to go from People-Dealing-With-And-Recovering-From-Traumatic-Experiences books to Magic-Is-Real-And-Life-Is-Good books. and im here for it!
Your channel is wonderful and I'm glad to be a new subscriber. Saroo Brierley was adopted by an **Australian family and he lives in Tasmania (where I live). Thanks for sharing your favourites!
thank you for the clarification - you're absolutely right! it's been too long since i read it. time for a re-read!
I have grown up with a nonexistent relationship with reading, and at 22 years old, I have finally unearthed within myself a love for reading. Many BookTubers have been integral in sparking this new flame, but I am especially glad that I found your videos. Thank you for sharing your passionate thoughts about your favorite books!
I never subbed to somebody this quick. I had the "Reading Bo Burnham's Favorite Books" recommended to me and now I'm binge watching all of your videos!!!
The editing, the enthusiasm, and the all-around good vibes rlly keep me invested in this channel
WE LOVE TO SEE IT
New person here.
so excited about finding your channel -love your taste in books.
you can bet i’m taking these recommendations straight to my bookstore basket
The ocean at the end of the lane got into my bones and haunted me for days---I loved it.
Bro I just woke up and you gave me my breakfast video thank you
i'm your breakfast video?! that's the highest honor.
Your channel is so full of fun and personality, I too am here via the uncarley book video and have become a total fan.
your videos make me feel so cosy
Oooh I just started Convenience Store Woman. Gonna get Things the Grandchildren Should Know. Thank you so much for pouring all this love and energy into your videos. I just found your channel a few weeks ago and I’ve watched almost all of them. You bring something special and fresh to vlogging/booktube. Love from Ireland 💓✨
SO exciting that your channel is growing :))) Your cute lil vlogs are quickly becoming some of my favorite videos and I'm always happy when I check back and see that you've posted. I think I have been a subscriber for a month-ish now? I love all the amazing book recs I'm getting from you, so thank you
The ocean at the end of the lane is my ALL TIME fav!!! And I’m so happy to see someone talk about it cause it’s so magical but real at the same time.. I love it! ♥️
i’m reading watch over me right now & really enjoying it! it feels like a supportive hug of a book

Long time subscriber here but I'm SO happy to see so many new people in the comments. You deserve it Ally, you have the nicest community, happy to see it growing
These were all great recommendations. My library wish list just grew. Thanks so much
I am so glad I found your page. Your taste in books is exactly what I have been looking for and your energy is astounding!
Omg also the curious incident of the dog in the night-time amazing I immediately subscribed

watch over me is on my tbr this month! thank you for this video dude, i just put never let me go on hold at the library 😄 so excited for u to see your channel grow and grow 🌱🌞
Ive watched you since your original red hair dying video in your bedroom and I'm so happy to see you thriving and learn more about you through your favorites. Haruki Murakami's books brought me back into reading after you inspired me to pick up books again, Thanks for sharing your favorites so excited for your new upload schedule!!
So happy I found your channel! 💓 these are my favourite types of videos!
Love the nostalgic music. 😁
this content was very much needed, i'll do a reading vlog ASAP aaaa.
im very exciting about the double uploading, here some possible video ideas just in case: update tattoo tour, bookshelf tour, 24h reading vlog, story time of every kind, asmr, book video tag, q&a.
woooow you're the best - thanks for your ideas!
i’m so glad to have found you from the uncarley vid!!! i’m excited to witness your come up 🥰🥳 you deserve hella followers
aw :,) thanks for thinking so!
Watch Over Me honestly changed my life. So beautiful, so simple, so relatable. The “fantastical” element is so well done and pure. Glad to finally see someone else give it more than an average rating.
i’m reading on earth we’re briefly gorgeous right now! i love it so far
Smoke Gets In Your Eyes is AMAZING! But I loved her book From Here to Eternity even more. It floored me. One of my fave non-fic of all time.
i wanna read that one SO BAD
Stumbling across your channel last year was one of the highlights of 2020. So glad the channel is growing and people are discovering one of the best corners on the internet!!
:,)
Omg you more than double your subscribers in 6 months!!! You are doing amazing! I've been here for a loooong time finding you through Deidre
Ahhh I'm so glad you said you like a book because it just gave you that "feeling". Sometimes you just jive with a book and you can't really explain why (which makes recommending it a little hard but eh, who cares, right?) Thank you! You get it! ❤️
WAIT IM INLOVE WITH YOUR CHANNEL AHH IM GLAD YOUR VIDEO GOT RECOMMENDED TO ME
WOW THANK YOU I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE NOW
I have been in such a reading slump. I am excited for these recommendations!
my tbr is filling upppp let's go!!!
A Little Life is my fave book of all time.
this just came up in my recommended and apparently youtube algorithm knows me better than i know myself because we have a decent amount of common favorites soooo now i HAVE to pick up everything else you mentioned
you make me wanna read my life away, its so nice the way you talk about books
Ooh, i have the exact same copy of 'The Ocean at the End of the Lane' 😊😊😊 and i loved the book
i LOVE that you made this video!! Thank you for sharing🥰 Here from the “reading uncarley’s favourite books” video, staying for the book content 🤘
Ahhh so excited for 2 videos a week!!!
i love the movie Coraline so much and i don’t know why it never occurred to me that i should read the book 🤯 your influence
Sad books are so good!!!!
I can't wait to get my hands on On earth we're briefly gorgeous
Out of all your favourite books I've only read room and it's brilliant!!movie I wasn't a fan of compared to the book. I'll have to check out some of your favourites except the very sad ones I'm sad enough right now 😒 love yoouu
Love Persepolis. I also loved Embroideries by the same author. The illustrations are amazing.
yes! in love with the art style as well.
@@allisonpaiges the film is great too if you haven’t seen it ☺️
Approximately 0% overlap in our tastes but your videos are so packed with personality that I can’t even care. God bless the algorithm
:,)
Hi, this is my first comment on a CZcams video ever but I just want to say your videos bring me so much joy and comfort and I just want to say thank you ❤ this video got me out of bed during a depressive episode this week. You seem like a really cool person :) xx
UGH SECONDS IS SOOO GOOD 👌🏼🔥💘
I recommend Hold Still and The Disenchantments by Nina LaCour! Two of my fav books EVER! I still need to read Watch Over Me though
I read Persepolis in my French class sophomore year of college and I loved it, I think I'm gonna have to read it in English now
Hoihoi!! New subscriber tuning in from the Netherlands. I’m in my first year of teacher training (also for giving English as a 2nd language). And I’m also a booklover so your content is so lovely and relatable for me to see! I’m happy to have found your channel because you’re adorable and your energy is contagious (even through a screen). ❤️
❤️‼️
i'm late to subbing but am already loving all the new books i've added to my tbr from your vids~ the giver was also one of my favorites i read in school and i wanted to let you know that it's a part of a quartet! i would definitely recommend them if you wanted to read more of the connected stories in that universe
EXCUse ME THERE ARE MORE?!?! i could hug you thank you for this information!!!!
so many great recommendations wow
How meta! A favorites video by my favorite CZcams person 🐸
that “lion” book cover 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 dev patel nation!
Sorry for the onslaught of my comments but I'm binging your videos because UR THE MOOD
Love love this list, we have such similar taste in books! Khaled Hosseini is one of my fav authors and went to my high school! He used a lot of familiar landmarks from my hometown in The Kite Runner and And The Mountains Echoed (the clock tower in his high school and the city flea market) that always made me feel a type of way 🥺🥺
that is such a fun fact! (also you never need to apologize for commenting - i appreciate it!)
I also liked Curious Case and somewhat liked On Earth, so I guess we had some of the same taste, so I started reading a random book on your list. I picked Cerulean Sea, and I have not been able to put it down. Thank you!
Also just finished Smoke Gets In Your Eyes and Store Woman. The first made me think more about mortality and I needed that, also I cried like 2 times. The second changed how I viewed jobs and other people's perceptions of me. Just picked up Seconds and I might honestly just read all of these books, cuz each are bops
Marbles 🖤
I am new here! I just subscribed a few days ago! I love your vibe! You describe your reading experiences very eloquently and directly which I really appreciate! Sending Love
looooooved this vid and the books you included!! also i must know where your sweater is from * o *
aww thanks! &thrifted! so sorry
I adoRE Brian lee O’Malley. Read lost at sea. Much like seconds , the theme is similar but it hit me so much deeper
oooh i also read that one! i love his stuff. “snotgirl” is also so so fun. can’t wait for there to be more!
@@allisonpaiges also as a Canadian it’s cool to have him as representation. Havent red snot girl. Gotta get on it
Stay cool, stay amazing and continue doing what you do because I love it!
smoke gets in your eyes is maybe my favorite book ever (???) per your recommendation from years ago and i made my whole family read it
no way! wow i love that
yessss
that dog sweater 😙👌
I just watched your Bo video, my first video of yours and now I’m on this video! We have similar reading tastes but I HATED a little life. I have no issue with trauma and stuff like that but I felt like the author just went into it a little bit too much
I’m Nalana, I’m from Seattle, and ur adorable and so intelligent and I love the way you talk. Peace and love
Hi just arrived from your bo burnham video, love the format of your videos happy to be a new subscriber
I’m a new subscriber too! Subscribed because your “read Bo burnham’s favourite books” was the best produced video I’ve seen here on CZcams in a long time! I’ve already read several of the books you are suggesting so that must mean we have similar taste :) Really exited to read some of your suggestions.
- Klara, Denmark
i'm a new subscriber lol my name is aisling, i'm irish, and i'm here because the algorithm recommended me your 'i read uncarley's favourites' video
i love u and ur vids so so much :))))
yes coraline yes the dog sweater
yes!!!
you have a great taste in books !
thanks for thinking so!
@@allisonpaiges it’s just the truth! will definitely be looking forward to more book videos from you
I'm binging on your channel after work, sipping on my Chai and looking for book reccos. Rishabh this side, sending good vibes from India. :)
You're a star. We are here because you rock.
Just read Coraline out loud to my parents. It sort of felt like a full circle of my childhood when they would read to me and my brother. Now please let the job search go well so I can move out before I go crazy...
I started watching your videos after I saw the Bo Burnham video. Your content is S-tier, *please* keep making cool vids
I want to read so many of your favs but I feel like none of them would translate well through ebook so now I have to wait to buy them :^]
the way I had to rewind 10:40 3 times to see the adorable pressed flower T_T
Okay weird question, but where do you get your cool printed book tabs/page markers?! I love them!
honestly? the grocery store.
new around here... my name is naya and i'm brazilian. your channel is amazing!💖
The conflicting feelings of the discussion about the trauma of A Little Life and the Sims 2 soundtrack in the background is undescribable
hahahah
Do you have a book case tour? I’m sorry if I missed it if you did. If not can you please !! Ur shelves r so pretty
oooh not yet - good idea!
Hi 🤗, new to your channel and I’m so glad I came across your channel by chance.
Out of curiosity… what did u think of the Room adaptation. I loved it but haven’t read the book. Definitely on my TBR now
i thought the movie did the book serious justice. jacob tremblay crushed the role. the narration is spot on to the book as well. but the book was still worth the read despite knowing the story. (i saw the movie first too!)
@@allisonpaiges thank you!!
HIIIIIIII ok i am new (as of today) and i know that this video is like 7 months old but....you asked us to introduce ourselves so....HI!!! Im Caroline, I'm from the US but moved overseas about 3 years ago to teach internationally. I currently am living in THE PHILIPPINES!!!! So hi from Manila
I keep opening this video and debating whether or not I should do a full list read. But then my wallet says no, and so I leave, only to come back a few days later lkajsdsa
Based on what you recommended you should check out "behind the beautiful forevers"
My dark Vanessa ❤️
did you also read rocksteady by ellen Forney? I also loved that one
i haven’t yet but want to!
WOW I've never read My Dark Vanessa - feels like I don't need to! I lived that one. Yikes. Have you ever read Three Women by Lisa Taddeo? That one also made me feel very seen and question my whole past.
i’ll look into it!
Hi! I´m from Argentina, Tierra del Fuego "The end of the world" Love ur videos!
I am wondering how you like the books by Holly Bourne
Rep rep rep Caitlin!!
i'd like to invite you all to take the opportunity to use your local libraries if possible when you're looking for these amazing books!! it's money saving, and helpful to the library (and its employees!). i don't know the situation for other countries, but i do know for the US, at least, that you can order books online to be sent to your library, if it doesn't have what you're looking for.
support your local libraries!!
i live in belgium and there is one shelf with books in my language - otherwise i would!
(i do still have a library card that i renew every year just in case though 💛)
