    Yeah, agree with you. I can't rate any movie/book too. But I found a way to rate it great, based on the rewatchability of a movie. That worked for me

      Yes!! That's my exact criteria for a 5/5 all time favourite: whether or not I want to read it again!
      Thanks for being here 🥰

    I love this idea of not bashing books or rating and yet.. the one hesitation I have as an author is.. without ratings us indie authors (self published) only get seen if others will actually rate us. It’s a blessing and a curse.

      Thank you! I think rating 4 or 5 star reads is a perfect solution to that! But truly, nothing really sells books like word of mouth, so talking about the books we love is key 🥰

    The movie for the book theif was actually done really well. Two suggestions to look up. Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer and if you're interested in poetry at all have a look at some Mary Oliver. :)

      You absolutely NAILED these suggestions! I have Braiding Sweetgrass on my shelves. I am going to read it this Spring and Summer for sure. And I love Mary Oliver's work so much 🥰
      Thanks for being here ❤️❤️

    Hello Megan! I loved LOVED this video, and I find you highly insightful and very entertaining to listen to. Definitely a new subscriber, and I feel very inspired to read your top 3 favorite books of the year! Although a 900 page book may not be the first monument I climb, I am very drawn to the other 2! Love and cheers from Sweden

      Hello from Canada! I hope you have snow where you are because my part of Canada is severly lacking. 🤣
      Thank you so much for your kind words! I hope if you give the books a try, you enjoy them.
      Thanks so much for being here and welcome! 🥰🥰

    Also, I have 'the secret history' in my bookshelf, but it is a borrow from my local library, and I feel I want to honor the moment by having a *real* bought copy of it (for some reason).

      Oohh that might be a good call. It's definitely a good one!
      Thanks again 🥰

      Hi! Welcome ❤️ thanks for being here! I haven't read it, but I've heard wonderful things about Red Rising by Patrick Brown. Apparently it's quite twisty!
