Aha! I just bought She Who Became The Sun yesterday... all because you recommended it in a previous video. Can't wait to start reading it. So, thanks. 🤗
Just want to wish you all the very best for 2022. I hope that your channel goes from strength to strength. Thank you for all the hard work that you do for this channel and it's viewers. So glad to have found your channel. All the best
Klara and the Sun is also on my top ten. I read it and promptly acquired A Pale View of Hills which I found to be an amazing debut novel.......the other bookend so to speak. To open 2022 I will read An Artist of the Floating World. Happy holidays my finely feathered friend.................
I rank these two side by side on my Ishiguro ranking, which is very fitting considering how long he's been writing for. Artist is my fave so please enjoy 💜
Listening to your voice is therapeutic. I'm adding all the books to my tbr 💕 My fave 2021 read is The Miracles of the Namiya General Store by Keigo Higashino. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I'm so excited for your 2022 videos 😍📚
I’ve got Detransition Baby out from the library and I’m hoping to get to it this week. I was really excited to see that Tell Me I’m Worthless is gonna be published here in the US by Tor Nightfire in 2023! Although I may end up ordering a copy next year because I’m not sure I can wait that long. 😁 Merry Christmas!
I always discover so many fun books through your channel :) (thank you!) So I wanted to recommend a book as well: What you can see from here by Mariana Leky. It’s about a woman named Selma who lives in a small vilage in Western Germany and whenever she dreams of an okapi she knows that someone in her village is about to die. There’s so much more to this story but that was only a short synopsis. I don’t know if you read this already but feel free to look into it in case you’re interested !
My fav book of 2021(also, the only one i read that was published this year 😬) is One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston. It was pretty cool 😊 Also, merry Christmas to you, your partner and Snowy 💞💞
Just discovered your channel, what a great list, full of books I loved (Luster, Detransition Baby) and books I simply have to read after hearing you talk about them (Tell me I'm Worthless).
I bought Ariadne and she who became the sun based on your recommendations. I can't wait to read them. I have not yet read a trans novel. Which one should I purchase detransition baby or I am worthless? My favorite book of 2021 was actually a memoir: between two kingdoms.
I've heard great things about that memoir! As for which one to read, it really depends on your tastes. Detransition, Baby is a lot more grounded in character drama and relationships. Tell Me I'm Worthless is a gothic horror steeped in metaphor and allegory. Two very different books. Pick whichever appeals to you most!
may i suggest "boys run the riot", it is a manga written and drawn by a transgender man Keito Gaku, it is about trans boys experiences in high school, three volumes of the english version are out now, I have vol 2 and 3 right now, vol 1 is out of print, just waiting for it to be back in stock
My favourite books of 2021 were the invisible life of addie la rue (wish I'm shocked didn't make your list!) and open water by caleb azumah nelson which was stunningly beautiful
Addie La Rue came out in 2020, which is the only reason it wasn't on my list. Same for Piranesi. I wanted to add them both but couldn't. I have also heard amazing things about Open Water!
@@WillowTalksBooks ahh of course!! This makes sense! We have very similar taste as I also thought piranesi was great! Let's hope 2022 is another year filled with great books! Yes, I can't say enough good things about open water.
I just discovered your channel and I already love you and your recommendations.
Thank you so much! I hope I can keep recommending great works!
Willow! I just wanted to thank you for existing 😭 and to wish you a happy holidays ☺️
Aww thank you for also existing! 💜🌲

Oh that sounds fascinating and right up my street! Thanks so much for recommending it :)
Wow, I really need to read Tell Me I'm Worthless.
My favourite book that I read this year was The Death of Vivek Oji 💞
Ah! That's a book I meant to read! Emezi is a powerhouse of a writer. Thanks for reminding me 💜
My fav book of 2021(also, the only one i read that was published this year 😬) is One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston. It was pretty cool 😊 Also, merry Christmas to you, your partner and Snowy 💞💞
Ooh there's a book I don't think I know so I'll check it out! Thank you, merry Christmas 💜🌲

Glad to meet another Detransition Baby fan! And please do read TMIW asap! It means so much to me 💜
Just bought Tell Me I’m Worthless. Cannot wait to read it!
I am so so happy to hear that! 💜
I loved these recommendations.
Thanks!

Detransition, baby is one of my top books of the year though I haven't numbered them (yet). It was also very funny in places.
It is very funny, I agree! Often darkly funny, which I love. The scene where she comes for Laura Jane Grace (one of my icons) is darkly funny.
may i suggest "boys run the riot", it is a manga written and drawn by a transgender man Keito Gaku, it is about trans boys experiences in high school, three volumes of the english version are out now, I have vol 2 and 3 right now, vol 1 is out of print, just waiting for it to be back in stock

Yay for the good taste club! I'll definitely pick up Open Water soon!
I've bought two of these books this year because of you.
Have I read them yet?
...no ...
That's ok, you've got time :)
I thought you are a girl
I will take that as a big compliment! I'm non-binary 💜
