I legit smile anytime you post a new video. You always have such good recommendations!

[@IasminaEdina]

Aw, thank you! I definitely want to make more videos since i haven't been very consistent this year 😅

[@sandy23stories40]

So glad to watch a video of yours, I’m currently reading the southern book club is so hilarious

I'm so glad you picked The Historian (a title I recommended to you a couple of years ago) and The Night Circus. Both of them are really exceptional in their own way, and even more remarkable for being debut novels - an area I've been exploring for a while. Two of my not-so-current recommendations are The Watchmaker of Filigree Street and The Lost Future of Pepperharrow by Natasha Pulley, if you enjoy Victorian-adjacent themes. Also, The Five by Hallie Rubenhold, a non-fiction book about the victims of Jack The Ripper.

[@IasminaEdina]

Oooh thanks for those recommendations! I love victorian novels like that, and had my eye on The Watchmaker since I saw it a couple years ago. And yeah I think you recommended The Historian to me, because I hadn't heard about it from anywhere else, but really glad I read it. Love finding great books that not a lot of people talk about online.

Nice selection. Fall is also a good season for writing, hope you keep publishing your projects. Looking forward to reading your books! Cheers, Iasmina. 😘🤓🥰

[@IasminaEdina]

I never stopped writing, but yeah publishing is a completely different animal 😅. It will happen one day though, and until then I just want to write as much as I can so that i have lots of finished drafts to revise and then publish. That's kind of my goal right now 😊

Belladonna by Adalyn Grace I read last year in October and its a great fall read. You're the only person I've seen recommend Give the Dark my Love over the last few years and I previously forgot to add it to my tbr, thanks for the reminder!

[@IasminaEdina]

Belladonna sounds great too, thanks for the recommendation 😊

Autumn makes everyone read more than anything else! :)

[@MrSnakeyes51]

Fairy tale by Stephen King is Great!! Another Fall classic is Something wicked this way comes by Ray Bradbury. A carnival arrives in the middle of the night of a sleep northern town. The friendship between the two main characters is the best part. If you want a dark twist on some fairy tales. Read the book of lost things, also a wrinkle in time feels a lime a good fall book.

[@IasminaEdina]

Those sound great! Thanks for the recommendations 😊

[@MrSnakeyes51]

I miss your book videos. I know life happens, and things change. I hope you are able to do more in the future.

Some nebulas our eyes remind me of.
but did someone have your eye color once?
Cobwebs have gone too long without our touch
where princess-phantoms pray their genes prolong.
Her phantom sees you pay to see a film,
and sees you pay for fruit she used to plant.
Those tangerines that hang are free to steal!
because they’ll recognize her in your hand.
How could our senses face this many tolls?
How could they charge our sense of taste and sight?
Behind thy shoulder stands a lovely ghost
who established the color of your eyes.
Her jaw is dropped. Her heart revives to break,
because her kin are less human, more slave.

[@larissapopovych6551]

Wow, cool book, will choose some of these for my Halloween read 😊 by the way reading Fairy tail now, unkingish King 😅

[@IasminaEdina]

Haha yes that is a good way to describe it 😂

[@larissapopovych6551]

@@IasminaEdina but still a good book, reminds me how i once read The Eyes of the dragon 🥰

[@Senidhr]

I loved Give the Dark My Love but it seems impossible for me to find the sequel. Its inavailable everywhere i looked, so don't know how it ends. Also really liked the Night Circus, you are so right about the atmosphere.

[@IasminaEdina]

Hmm, don't know where you usually buy your books from but I can find it on amazon (the US one) for all formats.
