      꽁낑 oh my gosh I was just thinking that she reminds me of a mix between Emma Watson and Hermione ! It's even funnier because Emma is playing Belle in the live action film so all these comments sort of come full circle !

    • @sommerlin
      @sommerlin Před 7 lety

    WHY ARE ALL THE COVERS OF YOUR BOOKS SO MUCH PRETTIER THAN THE ONES I HAVE honestly so jealous

    • @forgottenpixel
      @forgottenpixel Před 7 lety +2

      Yeah, by the time she shows a book on here, all the (new) copies they sell in stores (in the states and around here at least) have tons of ratings, praise, quotes etc. making the book cover and back look a lot uglier. Sometimes if I really loved a book I'll buy a used copy just so I can have a non-ugly original copy. /nerd

    • @manasvipinnamaneni487
      @manasvipinnamaneni487 Před 7 lety +1

      +forgottenpixel I've actually figured it out! bookdepository.com has older versions of books for sale so you can have the prettier versions

    Jess! I would HIGHLY recommend "I'm Thinking of Ending Things" by Iain Reid! It's pretty scary at some parts and it has the biggest twist towards the end. I read it recently and would love it to be included in the book club. It's not too long either.

The Underground Railroad sounds intriguing...I think I may buy it and give it a read.

    Jess if you like Nabokov's writing I'd definitely recommend his book "Transparent Things". It's such an interesting book, written in a narrative way where the narrator recalls his life and reflects on it. However, Nabokov's wit, humor and plain intelligence make every single sentence a meaningful one!

    Love this. I appreciate reading is what you do 24/7. Really interested in how long it would take you to read something like Americanah i.e. for leisure not note taking. I am keen to read more. With work/life in general one novel takes 1-2 weeks which seems forever given your incredible reading pace. Appreciate your immense productivity - all fascinating! xx
