Literally 🥵
Newfoundland, Canada: The Adversary by Michael Crummey
PEI: Anne of Green Gables
Nova Scotia: The Birth House by Ami McKay
Ontario: We Spread by Iain Reed. And Then She Fell by Alicia Elliott, Hag-Seed by Margaret Atwood
Quebec: The Lonely Hearts Hotel by Heather O'Neill
Nunavut: Split Tooth by Tanya Tagaq
Alberta: Ducks by Kate Beaton
I don't think I've read any set in the other provinces and territories - great goal for me this year. 🗺🌎🌍🌏
🌎 To help with your reading across Canada's provinces, Amal El-Mohtar who co-wrote This Is How You Lose The Time War is from Ontario. So is Cherie Dimaline who wrote The Marrow Thieves. And Margaret Atwood is also from Ontario. Joshua Whitehead who wrote Jonny Appleseed is from Manitoba. Richard Wagamese was from British Columbia and he wrote Indian Horse. Richard Van Camp is from Alberta. He wrote Moccasin Square Gardens and Night Moves. I can't think of any others but when I do I'll come back and add on😄❤️
absolutely LOVE the map idea, so excited to see you do this over time!
🌎 love this as always!!
I just got renewed motivation to film my 2023 reading survey/recap so thank you for that 😂 I love your take on the read the world challenge, that sounds amazing!
amazing video as per freaking usual!! looking forward to more bookish content from you. happy 2024 ily 🌍
🌍 finding your channel over the summer and getting to know you was my 2023 highlight. Wishing you the best new year and can't wait to see how you might incorporate your new map into your videos ❤
YESSSSS I have been holding my breath for your 2023 book tubers best!
I’m loving this editing style ❤
Definitely enjoying your content 🌎
Hi Katie, so glad to discover your channel last month, have been enjoying your year-end videos as a crash course in your reading tastes. Clicked on your unhaul vid from Sept 2022 and my jaw dropped to see you blithely state that Gabby didn't love Part of Your World so you were unhauling it. Then watched your Abby Jimenez Taste Taste video where you remembered that and owned it. Interesting how our reading journeys can be so much like real life sometimes!
Ahhh I love these end of year videos!! Also romance being your #1 genre of the year is a twist I did not see coming haha but I love it 👏👏👏
I LOVED THE BEST BOOKS BY BOOKTUBERS VIDEOS, and creators must be happy and thankful because I discovered so many good creators, and I'm 100% sure I'm not the only one. and I am also thankful to you because discovering new creators helps me to diverse my reading and understanding better why I dislike and like some books when I can't put into words.
Reading more non-American and BIPOC authors is also a goal of mine. A book I highly recommend for a world challenge is A Thousand Splendid Suns. It’s incredible. Really opened up my perspective. 🌏💞
I really enjoyed that book as well!
I CRIED SO MUCH
Loved this video! 🌎
🌍 the world challenge sounds like it's going to be such a great time ^^ thanks for sharing your Book Survey with us. Always a joy to see what you love and hate in terms of what you've read and looking forward to seeing what you read this year. Also damn Sabaru man. It's like he's so desperate to be a side character in your videos 😂
Love the return of this colour on you !!!!
I love that reading challenge idea with the scratch off map! I must get myself that map now 😄🌎
Absolutely cannot wait for your Booktubers' Favourite Books of 2023 video! I loved the 2022 one so much! (Don't know if you did them before, I'm a recent fan)
Living for the Detox clip. "I've had it, officially!" Comgrats on 35k! ❤
🌎🌍 This was so entertaining Katie! We do not have similar bookish likes but I learned a lot of new books from you.
I really liked your best & worsts!
That map goal idea is so good, I might have to steal it in near future 🌍
🌍 I literally am obsessed with you!
The scratch off map idea to help you read the world!? I love that for you Katie!! I’m working on that as well and what I’m doing for the US, Canada and Australia is focusing on indigenous authors to get another perspective while I’m checking those boxes.
love the map idea - i had a similar realisation last year where most of my books were from american authors and now i'm doing a ourvoices challenge on story graph to read more from māori and aboriginal and torres strait islander authors. its great to tally up at the end of the year and think about where your stories tend to come from and what other stories are out there
Love the goal! ❤🌎❤
Really fun to hear your answers to those questions. 🌍
It’s the first week of 2024 and I finished my first book, Any Man. It was SO GOOD. I don’t want to read anything else because I don’t want a flop. Great way to start a new year but also not so great. Just purchased Maeve Fly.
🌍 Thank you Katie xx
So entertaining and well-done, thanks a lot, Katie!@!++ (those were typos but they look pretty cool)
Your neighbour has way too much audacity 🌍 Loving all the end of year content 🖤
🌍 love love love that video :)
🗺️🌍🌎🌏 love that idea!!!
I love the map idea! I kind of want to steal it for myself 😅🌎
😂 I got the first volume of killing stalking today because you mentioned it so often 😂 And my coworker is reading it too
Great video. ❄️📚☕🥂
omfg i had Murder Your Employer from the library for weeks before just returning it but i'll put it back on my radar!
0:12 did I..Did I just witness the ultimate thirst trap 😂 lol I love it
KATIE!!! I screamed when you commented on Fourth Wing’s unironic use of “for the win”. Even one was too much. Every time I read it I cringed so hard and it took me out of the story 🤣
I've just started Any Man, now at 15% of the way in. Out of the gate I'm angry, devastated, shocked, and completely hooked. I'm not sure I'll make it thru to the end, but I'm invested. 🌎
🌍🌎🌏🌐 your editing puts a smile on. my face at minimum.
OMG I have that map and that's exactly what I use it for and it also hangs above my desk! I really need to update it though so thanks for the reminder
Any Man arrived in the mail today. I am DONE being behind on this rec! I know I'm going to be obsessed with it, and I'm readdddddy.
🌎. Enjoyed your video. Thank you. Reading your books even the ones you don’t like. Wish me luck
Hey Shego! Lov ya!
I'm uninspired for a comment, just want to say I love your channel so so much ! 🌍
For Canadian based/authored books, it is worth taking a look at some of the annual Canada Reads lists. Usually one CBC article gives the overview of the long list and it includes where the books are based.
For Alberta I recommend Ducks by Kate Beaton or Bad Cree by Jessica Johns
🌍🌎🌏 This was so much fun.
🌎That quote from Alone With You In The Ether,,, i’m adding to my tbr immediately😂
For a suggestion for a book set in one of the different provinces or territories of Canada, I recently added A Sweet Sting of Salt by Rose Sutherland to my TBR. It comes out in April, and it takes place in Nova Scotia! It's a queer retelling of The Selkie Wife.
Oh no, not you embodying my first bi panic, villain/grey character girl crush... Oh, Shego, I should've known I wasn't straight... 🌎
FOR REAL THOUGH! Thank you. That is the greatest compliment I could be given
Love this outfit 🌏
missed opportunity with "but CJ Leede?? she took it home" instead of "she took the...lead." lmfao i hate myself too it's okay :) also YES SHEGOOOOO😍
Brilliant 🌍
135 books in a year? You are amazing
I read any man and killing stalking because of you and they are both great.
🌏 Agreed with so many of these! I do need to find time to pick up the first Veronica Speedwell given how good you say it is.
I'm sure someone mentioned it already, but Emmie (a fellow booktuber) does Reading Around the World 🌍 and has several videos about her progress of reading from every country in the world! She even has a Fable bookclub dedicated to this exact goal, so I'm sure that will be useful with your world map!
For BC, Canada you can read The Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki! so good :) also takes place in Japan too haha
Alone With You in the Ether was my top tier book this year!! 😭😍😮💨
Hello and thanks for sharing ☺️
I'm embarrassed that I waited so long to watch this video only to find out that I'm in it 💀👽🖤
🌎🌎🌎 Adding the Veronica Speedwell series to my TBR!
Okay, since you ❤’d Part of Your World, you hafta hafta hafta read the second in the series, Yours Truly. I made myself go slowly simply to fully appreciate the story and anxiety rep - so good!
Oh yes, you’re so right. I loved Yours Truly. Just not AS much as Part of Your World
I love your videos and I don't even care that you hate 4th wing. I will forever watch your content 💞😂❤🎉
ommggg the queen and i have something in common i also read 135 books in 2023!!! SCREAMING!!!!
The UK cover of Lessons in Chemistry is awesome.
The Last Devil To Die is the only book I've cried at while reading. It's so good but so heartbreaking.
🌍
As a Canadian, I am always excited to read a book that takes place in Canada, but it's almost always set in Ontario! I should do a challenge of reading one from every province!!
I am hoping to get to Any Man this year!!
Thursday Murder Club. Fourth book also wrecked. Didn’t expect to cry.
🌎📚🌎📚🌎 Such an admirable goal to wish to read more books from around the world, Katie! May I suggest a few that have stayed with me for many years? The Good Earth by Pearl S Buck, China, All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque, Germany, Madame Bovary by Gustauve Flaubert, France, Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy, England & Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy, Russia. I realize most are considered classics, but if you commit to just one, you will instantly be swept completely away & not regret it. Not sure if any are your cup of tea, but why not lose yourself?! ❤
Katie for the map you should do it by the authors and not just the places the books take place. Bc the authors are actually representing the local and the books might be fictionalized representations. Kayla from books and Lala tried this map thing and had some valuable insights about it- you might wanna pick her brain about that before you start yours.
Oh wow that is a fantastic idea. I love that
🌎just found you and I’m obsessed lol
I‘m all into Harry Potter again 😅 at the moment.
If you‘d like to read a German author, I‘d recommend Nele Neuhaus. She writes crime thrillers located in my living area (Taunus). The last one that just came out is very gripping and entertaining. It took me two days to read the 550 pages (while working the whole day), just couldn’t put it down as soon as I got home. The German title is Monster.
The sound after 4. Romance…. 😂
🌎 🌍 🌏
If you'd like a Korean translated book, I'd recommend Concerning My Daughter by Kim Hye-Jin. It's queer and centers around a mother daughter relationship. It's very short but I read it in June and am still thinking about it.
Ah the shout out to Alyssa! ❤
🖤
🌎 I love the outfit!! It's giving Rogue in X-Men: Evolution!!
Do you know if that new book of Veronica Speedwell is the last one?
Provinces, Katie. The word you're looking for in terms of the "sections" of Canada is "provinces". We're your neighbour to the north, so sad you don't know this. (We also have 3 territories).
I read fourth wing on audio, and honestly don’t remember hearing ‘for the win’ 🤷♀️
I re-read my favorite books all the time to me that totally normal
Read a South African book by JM Coetzee called Disgrace. I think it is up your alley and you will love it
Can I read the last devil to die without reading the first 3?
❤❤❤🌎

Hey girl! Question… I just started reading Project Hail Mary, aaaand… I don’t get it… why are so many people obsessed with this book??!!! His writing is bugging me… it’s so elementary, and he’s trying too hard to be funny… I know you know what I mean… I want your opinion if I should keep reading? Will I be this annoyed throughout the whole book or are there some redeeming qualities? I just can’t believe that it’s so many people’s all time favorites… I feel like I’m either in the twilight zone or I should keep reading 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
General Hospital actress, Amber Tamblyn?
My only complaint about 'Any Man' is that it was too short.
Amber Tamblyn from Sister Hood Of The Traveling Pants?
ohhhh i love this one lol ! my fav book of the year is not fourth wing but its prob one of my fav… lol sorry not sorry haha , 🌎🌍🌏
🌏🌎🌍
I appreciate your videos so much! Binge watching booktube all day today since its -47c outside rn 😭 Canadian winters are DISRESPECTFUL 🇨🇦
Edit! Please PLEASE SEE read Son of a Trickster by Eden Robinson! It's set in British Columbia Canada and it's AMAZING
I was going to suggest Son of a Trickster as well! It’s so good!
@@laurainthewoods9379 literally one of my top 5 all time faves!! Love the setting, the writing, the culture 😍😍😍 and it's Sooooo close to where I live so it's really cool to know the area and visualize what's happening
You said “romance” and I stopped with my food midway between my bowl and my mouth, looked up and said “the what?”
