"...if you like Ottessa Moshfegh but think she's a little bit too wholesome..." just snorted my tea.
The suppository of all wisdom…I’m getting that on a T-shirt! 😂
Thanks, Scott! Video Editing Eric wishes Reader Eric would let him sleep more too. 😅 Really interesting to hear your response to Blackouts and how much you got out of it despite not vibbing with the experimental mode of it. Great to hear how much you enjoyed The Pull of Stars and Minor Detail as well since those were two of my favourites back in 2020. And Loop Tracks sounds so good! What a lovely BIG project and thanks for all you do! 📚
Thank you so much for your lovely words about my channel, you made my heart very warm
Good lord, what’s happening to us, dear man? We’re agreeing more and more! 🤗🤗🕺🏼🕺🏼♥️♥️
I feel like I’ve made it on Booktube now I’m in this video! 🥳 Also loved that you couldn’t read one of my favs last year because you’d read them all and they were either 5 stars or DNFs! Now I need to find out how I did… 😂
Absolutely astonished at how high my out of your comfort zone book ranked! I should have known emotionally devastating would override everything else. 😂 Also, pretty much all of these books sound incredible so thanks for this video, it was a really great watch, and now I’m off to watch lots of lovely new to me channels! And to cry about the state of my TBR after this.
Scott, I winced when I saw which book you chose from my recommendations. I know that you don’t usually get on with magic realism and horror so I was really surprised that Alicia Elliott’s debut ended up as high on your list as it did. And Then She Fell is a powerful book.
I DNFed Small Joys so I’m encouraged by your experience with that one.
It’s heartening to see your attitude towards YA literature is shifting. A good book is a good book and there are plenty of them within the YA category.
I enjoyed this entire video, even though it was interrupted about 12 times by advertising. Thanks so much for shouting out my channel and for introducing me to new booktubers and books.
And Then She Fell was a strange choice from me. I can't remember why I picked it. I know it wasn't my first choice from your , but I had difficulties finding a couple of books.
I'm not very sure what makes a book a YA any more... But I know I was wrong about it previously.
I'm surprised you didn't enjoy Small Joys, but I hope it redeems itself with you too.
@@GunpowderFictionPlot I suspect I was just in the wrong mood for Small Joys. Suicide is a hot button for me because I have lost dear ones to that fate.
YA is focused on the lives of teen characters, as seen from a teen viewpoint (or very slightly older) as opposed to an adult looking back on their teenage self of long ago. I don’t mean that all YA is in first person, only that there’s the sense of immediacy with that age. YA can be any genre. There are crossover books that are marketed to separately to adults and teens, often with different covers, which show that YA is hard to pin down as a category.
Love this video. Found so many new channels to subscribe to 😊 so glad you enjoyed Ordinary Human Failings so much. I was getting so tense wondering where it would rank 😂
Veritable gold mine of book suggestions! Love this!😊
I love Willow Talks Books so much. They provide exceptional critiques.
Willow is great, I included her in the 2023 version of this video. 😊
Ugh! More books I want to read. 😂 This is one of my favorites of the videos you make, which is saying a lot. So glad you enjoy making them.
It's always good reading making these videos. I'm so glad you enjoy them. 😊
Your thoughtful and articulate descriptions of each book tuber were amazing. And your brief and succinct comments for each book were also impressive and helpful. Thank you.
I'm worried about The Covenant Of Water now. Cutting For Stones is a favorite. Hopefully, I'll enjoy it more than you did. I was pleased to hear your review of My Brillant Friend. I think the lst book is the best in the series. YA has come a long way. Books like The Firekeeper's Daughter, Ace of Spades, and The Hate U Give have inspired me to read more YA. I will definitely read As Long As The Lemon Trees Grow because Kaitlin and I have similar tastes. Thank you for introducing me to new to me booktubers, authors, and books. I appreciate your through reviews!
The genre blend for only good indians actually has me intrigued now! The parisian being a dnf was a surprise to me for sure. not sure why but when you said 'strong white lady accent' i cracked up so much. I worked on idol burning back when I was at canongate. I felt medicore about it. I think it fell into being too short to be effective for me, but a good concept and story. I dnfed maeve fly lol. It was too wild for me. Glad you enjoyed concerning my daughter ^.^ I think it is masterfully done and I can't wait for her new book coming this year. A monster calls is one of my all time favourites -- well I love everything I've read by patrick ness but that one handled grief and some of the truths of terminal illness related grief so truthfully. I've read a lot of emma donoghue and I think the last one of hers I am going to try is the pull of the stars (and already have it on my shelf as well). 20 mins left but third comment pending as I am v hungry and am taking a food break!
I have been dithering and dathering about reading my brilliant friend or not so after that review I'm just going to actually add it to my tbr wishlist once and for all. It's been years of wondering around it. As long as the lemon trees grow is a young adult book waiting for me on my shelf. And I'm looking forward to it ^.^ I just need to be in the mood for something emotional, but I am currently in the mood for genre fiction. Love that you are reading more YA lately and giving the age audience a chance!
I have to be honest, I didn't know As Long As The Lemon Tree Grows was YA until I was preparing my review of it and looked it up online. I can't even identify YA at the moment, other than if the protagonists are young.
My Brilliant Friend is a slow burn. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on it when/if you read it.
Thank you for the kind words, Scott! Good choice at DNFing The Covenant of Water. Whew. That novel was rough.
Literally love 84!
Also, I’m excited my recommendation didn’t end up in the DNFs. I’m moving up.
I adored My Brilliant Friend. An all-time-favorite.
First of all, thank you for the lovely shoutout! I’m humbled to be included in a video with so many amazing booktubers that I enjoy watching. (There are also a few new to me channels here that I will go check out)
I really enjoyed The Only Good Indians, but I like horror, fantasy, and magical realism. His writing style is a bit different, so I could see why it might’ve been a difficult read.
How Not To Drown was in my favorites for 2023. The MC reminded me very distinctly of so many older Caribbean Latina women that I know, but not in a stereotype or cliche way. If you haven’t been around Dominicans, Cubans, or Puerto Ricans, it might be a bit of a disconnect. It captured all of the endearing things. And I think having come out of college right in the economic collapse when this book is set in really also made it resonate more.
Erdrich is hit and miss for me. Loved The Sentence. DNF’d some of her other books. I haven’t read Round House yet, but I have a copy on the shelf.
Flowers For Algernon is such a gut punch. It is a bit simplistic, but emotionally very effective. Definitely of its time though.
Idol Burning is new to me and sounds like a Kaitlin book. Definitely adding it on. Online friends. Check. Socially Awkward. Check. Definitely going to relate to that one.
Ahh Blackouts. I just got a copy of this from my mom. Interested to get into it.
Co-Wives, Co-Widows sounds like a Kaitlin book too. Added to the list.
Pretty much just added any of the top 10 that I haven’t read to my TBR.
I am so happy to see that As Long As The Lemon Trees Grow made it so high in the list. It truly is fantastic. I won’t say that it’s typical of YA, but I will say that there are more and more well-written, deep YA books out there. The way I approach the genre is the same way I approach romance cautiously and strategically. 😅
Thanks!
Thank you so much. 😊
This was a tour de force Scott. I am in awe of the loving care you put in to projects like this. I got a rosy glow from being included and a pile of booktuber and book recommendations.
I am SOOOO freaking impressed by this project, Scott (and honored to be included!) Grateful for all your thoughtful reviews sir. Always leave with a good scoop of books to add the tbr (and new channels to sub to, too!)
ps - im reading the wren, the wren based on your rec right now and cannot get enoughhhhh!
I always love this video. So glad you liked The Pull of the Stars!
Ï'm not entirely sure how I ended up on this list among a lot of my favourite booktubers, thank you so much for including me and your kind words! There's a couple of new to me channels, so I'm gonna check them all out.
So glad you enjoyed Cantoras (runner up, whoo!)
I always look forward to this video of yours each year! Hats off. I was very excited to see what you thought of Maeve Fly as it was also on my favorites of 2023 list. I also really enjoyed Boy Parts and found that they were also similar in how of their locale they were. I remember slang in Boy Parts going over my head for out British it was and, having lived in LA, I can say Maeve Fly is very LA.
Well done as always! I have new booktubers to check out and new books on my TBR! And I swear every year you squeeze more people onto this list!
That was such a treat to watch. Fantastic work. Thank you
Aww, thanks for including me in this fab bunch. I have a few channels to check out for the first time. Also, there are so many good reads for me to add to my TBR. I loved the realism of Concerning My Daughter. A Monster Calls had me bawling and I found Ordinary Human Failings so clever.
Thank you so much for reading one of my picks! A lot of my best books from last year were recommendations from you 😅 So thank you!
I can see how Cara could be a difficult character with which to connect. I have quite a few friends that are from South America (it is great to connect with fellow immigrants to Spain 😊)and my husband lived in the Dominican Republic for a couple of years which may explain why the way Cara communicated felt very familiar and real to me. I could relate the stories she related to real conversations that I have had.
This is an amazing list! So many amazing booktubers and books 🤩
So many great booktubers. Following all that I don't already. The list of books is going to make me go book shopping. Glad your video came across my feed today, new sub. And definitely love any book friend with a yellow chair 💛
This was so great. Happy to see some Canadians on the list! Many of your 5 stars I’ve read or are on my TBR. Wonderful to hear about all of these books. 😊💙
This was phenomenal! I've really prioritized this year more effort toward picking up books other book tubers rave about with more immediacy, because they generally do have darn good taste 😆
Nives sounds right up my alley - thanks for putting it on my radar! And I really must get to Minor Detail - it has been on my TBR for a couple of years now and your review of it has reminded me why I put it on there in the first place!
Absolutely brilliant video! Big fan of your content from Dallas! ❤
I came here due to "Bookish" Brian's recommendation and subscribed as soon as you mentioned Philosophy Tube. What an amazing and labour-intensive project this is - thanks for all the effort!
Great video, Scott and thanks for the shoutout and kind words! l’m not going to lie, I held my breath the whole way through the DNF section and was so happy to hear you enjoyed Nives.
Also, I about lost it when talking about the audio for How to Drown in a Glass of Water you said that one of that characters had a ‘strong white last accent’!!! Funniest line of the entire video and your comedic timing was perfect as usual 😂
Some years ago a movie was made based on the book 'A Monster Calls'. It's heartbreakingly sad (you'll need a box of tissue if you watch it), but I highly recommend. Must read the book now. So many other great recommendations. As a chicken mom, I'm looking forward to 'Nives'. And also a nurse, I'm intrigued by 'The Pull of the Stars'. Just want to see if E. Donoghue gets the hospital enviro right. I was not a fan of 'Room', so I hope Pull will redeem her for me. I always wind up adding at least 3 books to my TBR when I watch your videos. Thanks!
My favourite video of the year too. So much appreciation for the effort you put into this Scott. Brilliant reviews. I recently bought The Book of Night Women so definitely will bump that up now. Now I want to read all the 5 stars!
Amazing video! This introduced me to so many exciting books and of course many more lovely Booktubers!
This was such a wonderful video! I am going to check out all of the channels that I am not already following. 😎📚👍
Your devotion to a project like this is very impressive.
I can't really say how much I'm vibing with experimental writing, I'm just reading not enough of it. But I can say that House of Leaves drove me nuts. 😂
I am late to the party but I didn't want to comment until I'd watched the whole thing 😅
This is such a great achievement not only for reading 30 books, but also for being able to keep up with so many other BookTubers and speaking so passionately and personally about them. I can't keep up, and I feel so bad about it!
I was about to be amazed at there being book from my 2023 top ten that you hadn't already read, but I see you've had to pick from my honorable mentions! I guess much like what you said, it was some of the limitations of the book that kept it out of my top ten, but I think it's always hard to go back and read an influential book when you've experienced things that have built on it since. I had the same problem with reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep / watching Blade Runner.
Oops, hit enter before the final thing I wanted to say: thank you so much for including me! It's an honour to be among so many other lovely channels.
It was a pleasure to include you Ben, I always value your opinion on books, especially prizes and new releases. Flowers for Algernon was the only book of yours I hadn't already read, it would have been much higher up a normal reading review too, but it had lots of quality to contend with. I still enjoyed it quite a lot.
Ambitious project! The Book of Night Women was my favourite book of 2020. Absolutely brilliant. I own Seven Killings and perhaps this year is the year i finally get to it. Minor Detail sounds very interesting. Adding that to the list. Great video
Great video. I watched from the beginning to the very end. Much appreciated
what a fabulous video! passionate, honest & articulate as ever in your reviews of this diverse selection of books - my tbr grows ever longer, thank you…👀😅✨📚
I have added As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow, The Pull of the Stars and Ordinary Human Failings to my library reservations. Thanks Scott for opening my reading eyes.
This is one of my favourite videos you make. So happy to start my day with great book and channel recommendations.
Good morning, I'm glad you can enjoy it. 😊
You are literally just the sweetest Scott. Thank you so much for your kind words and for inc me amongst these wonderful booktubers . Loved the dragrace bit too😂
Yeah so pleased you gave Small Joys another chance and loved it!!! ❤
As Long As The Lemon Trees Grow is the best YA I have ever read I would say. Completely agree❤Can’t wait to read more by the author.
Brilliant video as always.
Great vlog! Lots of work went into this and it has given me a few new reads for my TBR as well as a few new Booktubers to check out. Much appreciated!
Heidi from my reading life is also a favorite of mine
She's brilliant
Not responding as this deserves but I wanted to thank you for such an ambitious project. It was such a joy to watch. So happy Contoras landed for you. I really enjoyed that perspective as it's a part of the world/time that doesn't get a lot of attention. I admit I have a soft spot for Stephen Graham Jones but I can see absolutely why he wouldn't hit for you. For me it's more of a case of I'm not sure if I ever even really ENJOY the work, but he always makes my brain go; huh in ways that make me want to stick on. I don't feel so terrible about my lack of appeal to The Parisian now. I had to read ALgernon in school and remember nothign about it. Maeve Fly I really don't want to read but you al most make me want to as it sounds like quite an experience. Thanks for reminding me of Lemon Trees and Book of night women.
Thank you SO much for the shout out!! Very good points about The Parisian. I think Hammad was trying to go for a sweeping, 19th century style novel with a million characters. Which is a tricky thing to try on your debut novel! I think I preferred the second half of the novel, and actually preferred the other perspectives to Midhat's (his wife's perspective is probably my favorite). Though I also liked the first half. So I think if folks didn't like the first half, they probably shouldn't stick around for the second!
Loved this video. I’ve found some excellent new Booktubers to watch through ❤
Thank you so much, Scott!🌷I’m a subscriber of about half of the booktubers you mention, and I’m now of course curious about the other half😊Nives by Sacha Naspini and Idol, Burning by Rin Usami have joined my wishlist. I must admit that some of the traumatic, even horrific, topics dealt with in some of the other works sound just a bit too much for me. I’m grateful for you honest reviews and trigger warnings.
I’ve saved this video for when I’ve got time to devote to it - always a highlight. I’m sad I didn’t put out a best of video this year, but given my track record here, you probably were not! 😂 I love hearing you talk about booktubers I love and also discovering new booktubers through you. Ordinary Human Failings is the book I’m most excited to read from the WP long list. I’m keen to see what you think. I’ve wanted to read Daughter of Time for a while. I loved 84 Charing Cross Road so will imagine that’s the book you would have picked from my best of 2023 list! 😂 A Monster Calls is also a great book. So many fascinating books in your top ten. Great video as always - thanks for doing this again!
Haha, I did check to see if you put a video out. So I'm not too scared from Lonesome Dove, but I think you gave me the choice of 1 book last year, so I would have been hoping for a top 10 to pick from.
Great video with new people and books! Yes long as lemon tree grows is excellent YA book. I have book of night women on my tbr for next month- braced for tough but beautiful read.
I hope you enjoy Night Women. I just don't know what YA is any more, this is very interesting. 😊
Hi there, just discovered your channel, love this video! I just discovered Jess at Stalking Kafka earlier today, saw her Women's Prize predictions video, then later the long list was announced and I think she predicted five, amazing!... including And Then She Fell, another indigenous North American story that I think has a horror element, would probably make a great companion read to The Only Good Indians -- which I read last year, and it's top notch.
Very nice! I would add that the Ferrante's book is part of a tetralogy which I highly recommend.
Thank you Scott! This couldn’t have come at a better time! I am laid up recovering from a hip replacement surgery and was up super early this morning, just unable to get comfortable. Finding this was released made my morning! Also, I was so nervous because my favorite book from last year was on here, and I was terrified you were going to trash it, and then our friendship would have to end!! 😝. But A Monster Calls had a respectable rating, so my love for your content continues!! 😂. Thank you for giving me something very interesting to focus on instead of my pain.
Whoop whoop! My favourite video of the year is here!!!
Very pleased with how I’ve placed this year. Not that it’s a competition (but it kind of is 😜)
There are several BookTubers here that I need to check out! And some books that weren’t even on my radar!
Awesome job - both to Scott and editing Scott 😂
Thanks for this video. Subscribed. And added a couple of these to my tbr, as well as a couple of booktubers to my subscriptions.
Thank you for watching, I am glad you liked the video and found some new Booktubers too. :)
Fantastic video! Amazing amount of work you put into this project.
Thank you. 😊
This was an impressive, thoughtful, positive review of your fellow BookTubers. Nicely done!
Thank you. 😊
Im going to win!!😁 (Have only watched 30 seconds so far!!)
Follow up: my jaw dropped.... Christopher!!😍
😬
CHAROLETTE !!! 📖 🪱 💚
Kiwi came out on top! 🥳 Agree, it is a great book.
Thanks for picking my favourite! I honestly would not have expected you to like it given everything I know about your tastes. 😂 But 2/3 of the book is the best part. The last section about the granddaughter was totally skippable. This was quite the project trying all of these!
Hahahahaha! I'm 3 'n 0 for dnf's on this yearly instalment. It's truly an honour.Thank you so much for including me again this year and with a book that you kinda knew you wouldn't like. I am going to make it my personal challenge to read a book that you haven't yet read by the end of 2024 and include it at the last minute on my best of with you in mind - I swear! Also, thanks for highlighting some new to me booktubers. This is the best video of the year to me. ❤❤❤
I know, you are one of the reviewers I really value the opinion of too, but yeah there is a reason The Only Good Indians was the only book you loved that I hadn't read. Yes to last minute book hype!
Thank you so much, I love that you love this video. 😊💙♥️💛
I am feeling some kind of way that my recommendation ended up in your bottom heap for the second year in a row! 😂😂
Awww thank you for including me! You should read Maeve Fly! Her next book sounds really good too "From CJ Leede, the author of Maeve Fly, comes a scorching new apocalyptic novel. Neil Gaiman's American Gods meets The Last of Us in this epic and sweeping story about the end of the world as we know it."
Thanks Scott! Very nice video. I loved the Book of Night Women 5⭐️ read for me
I love your username.
@@GunpowderFictionPlot thank you. I never know which one will pop up when answering. If it is Eiketske, that is the dialect word for (red) squirrel where I am from. If it is Reading is like Breathing, that is because that is what it is for me. The day I don’t read I am either in a coma in hospital or dead… 😁 I read when I wake up to start off my day and every free minute I have a book in my hand. I sometimes get away with reading at work, because yeah, librarian working at the library 😂
Frank McCourt’s “Angela’s Ashes “ is both funny and sad and will tear open your heart after you laugh out loud. It is also the book I used to restart a son to read when he stopped as an adult. You might even continue to read about his life in America and his NYC classroom. His brother Macaulay, also wrote a book you might like.
I love your program and your family(husband and dog). Thank you !!
AHH every time you said someone was a literary fiction and a horror/grief fiction fan, I was hoping it would be Monstrillio 😆
I love how readily you DNF and how open minded you stay about books. All books are great to the right reader, and no book is great to all readers. Also… I found several book tubers new-to-me to subscribe to and try out from this video. Thank you!
Thank you, that is exactly my opinion on books. All books are good to the right reader.
More booktubers to follow. Yay. The inclusion of Tony Abbott. Boo. I recently read Ordinary Human Failings and thought it was very good. I also recently read Why We Are Here by Briohny Doyle on your recommendation, which I enjoyed, but I think I preferred Echolalia. I will be happy to read whatever she brings out next.
'Daughter of Time' is one of my favourites. You can look forward to that one.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year!! 🥳
With the kids jingle belling
Having watched to the end ( despite interruptions from my son & the cat)
I now have a lots books added to my TBR.
I'm sorry I'm bad for your TBR... But not too sorry. 😉
I agree with Jemma
I totally get that the Dawnhounds isn’t for everyone, but it is definitely not pro-police. It’s ultimately an anti-cop story!
Also, as a children’s bookseller, As Long As The Lemon Trees Grow is definitely a great young adult book, but it is YA and there are some incredibly thoughtful and well written books in the category! Some of my other favourites are Catching Teller Crow, The Boy from the Mish, The Poet X, Catfish Rolling, Last Night at the Telegraph Club, Magic Fish, and I haven’t read it but Darius the Great is Not Okay has been given as a comp for Lemon Trees.
Great video!
Thank you and thank you for the YA recommendations. I also enjoyed The Poet X, although that is the only one from your list I have read. I am starting to realise that I judged YA on YA fantasy at a time when I was falling out of love with fantasy, it's kind of cool to have a new genre that might really work for me. I'm not seeing a big difference between YA and adult, except for a younger protagonist.
I can’t the the top hills were predictable not a lot of surprises . Except for loop tracks which I’ve never heard of before
🤗
😊💙
Please try The Only Good Indian and review it!
How is it possible ANYTHING isn’t explored in that thick thick brick??? (Covenant)
I’ve only read 4 in that big list. Have you predictions for this years book prizes?
I watch 4 of those 7 in the thumbnail- the middle all the way to the right
You have 3 awesome Booktubers to learn about and another 23 potentials to learn about. 😉
Oh my God! I'm a monster!!
Glad you liked 84!! 🥳
I hope these books make you happy.
Oops. Did I say translated from the Ecuadorian? Thanks for the kind words and for giving another of my recommendations a shot. I don’t have a great track record here. Wonderful video as always.
You just said she was Ecuadorian, not that it was translated from Ecuadorian... But I have never read a book from an Ecuadorian author before, so I was always interested in trying it from them on.
I liked your book recommendation last year. Disoriental... But yeah, I think you might be one from three.
@@GunpowderFictionPlot Ah, thanks. I rarely remember exactly what I say. 1 it if 3 is good in baseball, but in little else 🤓
"There's more sex scenes than characters introduced." 😂
I loved Charing Cross Road so much. I really want to read Co-Wives, Co-Widows. And Then She Fell is on my list too. She's a local author to me but I've been intimidated by the scope. So thank you for your review!
Honoured to be included 😁
There are so many fantastic booktubers, this list barely scratches the surface! My follows range from your channel to @CriminOllyBlog with @WillowTalksBooks as a midpoint -- and so many in between.
