When you said "Can I read some of this to you?" ABSOLUTELY! Your care and love for these books are completely infectious! The beauty written in these books a truly something else! Thank you for sharing your favorites. Now I know what my next reads shall be. And lastly, your video simply helped me out of my pause on reading. :)
Absolutely love the way you talk about books, you can see how much love they give you and how much love you give them. I have also read Circe and enjoyed it so so much, the way Circe has a deep love and admiration towards humans, how the writer expesses that love in such a poetic way, it really is an amazing read. A book that really resonated with me was "Call me by your name" by André Aciman, I know it´s such a known and heard book but when I tell you it has one of the best and most beautiful writing I have ever encountered myself with, to me it´s a book about the beauty and love for life and it´s simplicity. -Really looking forward to more of your content and hope you have a nice week! 💗
I absolutely agree. Watched this video two nights ago and subscribed. Love the passion for books and writing. One of my sons shares my love of books and has the same version of Circe. I must read it now! Thank you for sharing and look forward to your videos. Take care my friend!
I’ve just bought Circe on Audible now, after seeing this channel review and your comment. I had 4 credits to spend 😊 I have the actual book somewhere but as I have so many bookcases and approx 5k books, I’d take a while to find it
In an age filled with fast consumption of content, here you are easily grabbing my hand, sitting me down, sharing a coffee and a passionate talk about your passion, never loved books as much as I loved it today, I could imagine Wilde tearing if he listens to you talking about his book like this is genuine love, I wish days would bring full circle to meeting just to have a talk about passion and books, keep going this is one of the best content thanks for sharing it with us ❤
I love Circe too! Madeline Miller is such a beautiful writer and I relate to you as well with the wanting to live on Circe's island. Some of my favorite quotes: "I touched the thought like a bruise, testing it's ache" "His eyes were brown and warm as summer earth" So beautiful ❤️
it was hard to pick circe over SoA, but it won me over with its incredible atmosphere and a sense of freedom and also femme rage that ihaven't found anywhere, thanks to its beautiful prose
Circe is my favorite book, too! I read it for the first time in 2019 and it molded me into the person I am today. The prose is gorgeous and introspective. Love the way you spoke about your home in relation to Circe’s island, I feel the same way about my own home. When my husband and I got married in 2022, we did a book binding unity ceremony. We each read a passage from a meaningful book (mine was Circe, of course) and then tied them together with ribbon. After the wedding, we had the two books professionally bound into one. Leather cover, gilded pages, the works. 😁 Our officiant, a friend of ours, made a point to read Circe before our wedding. He also really enjoyed it and incorporated messages from the book into his opening remarks-very touching. I haven’t read your other favorites, but will definitely do so!
God, I love watching people who are so genuinely passionate about something. Not trying to sell you anything, or make you believe something, but just sharing their true passions. Thank you
The intensity of the joy and passion on display in this video is delightful and wholesome and inspiring. I know no one in my personal life who loves books as fully and effusively as I do, and it sometimes feels quite isolating. To be able to find people who feel the same way on CZcams might seem trivial, but it really does mean a lot.
Your excitement and wonder for books is so refreshing and different from other book-tube channels. Looking forward to listening to you more. And you have such a cosy library !
I love the way you talk about books, you are so evidently moved by these stories and I sense so much passion in your voice-that is so rare to see these days. You are a blessing.
The way you talk about Dorian Gray is how I felt about Blood Meridian. Never before had I ever felt like I had to annotate and use tabs on my own until I read this book. I had to do that kind of thing many years ago in high school and college because I was forced to but for the first time reading Blood Meridian made me want to dig deeper on my own. To really understand the essence of what Cormac McCarthy was writing and to really catch every single detail of the pictures he was painting. It was so visceral. It was gruesome. It was so real. So fascinating, disgusting, impactful and beautiful all at once.
I’m so so happy I found your channel today. Please keep doing this. :) I’m 37 and getting back into reading again… I can’t wait to go through your videos, as your passion and excitement is infectious! ❤
I recommend “All the Light We Cannot See”. Netflix did a series but it in no way captures the heartbreaking beauty of the novel. Love love love you, Magi!
Love anything done by Madeline Miller. One of my favourite quotes from Circe is “I had no right to claim him, I knew it. But in a solitary life, there are rare moments when another soul dips near yours, as stars once a year brush the earth. Such a constellation was he to me”. 🤗
The passion and excitement you have surrounding these books is so wholesome. To me it's interesting that a lot of the stuff you're passionate doesn't interest me much in books (good prose and nice descriptions), yet I love books too for totally different reasons
Love the way you talk about books❤ Your expression and love for books reminded me of my middle school English teacher. She introduced me to English literature and the way she talks about books were so powerful that made me fall in love with them too. Very excited to see someone so genuine and passionate sharing their books.
This is the first video of your's that I have seen, firstly I just loved how you can send out your joy of your beloved books, 2nd you made me want to revisit some of your favorites. (Delightful)
I DESPISE Ready Player One, but I ADORE your passion and fervor far more. This is the first video of yours I've seen and I can't wait to watch more. It's like I'm sitting down with an old friend and discussing our loves over a good cup of tea.
I’m inspired to read/listen to some of these….on a quest to return to reading more (or any!) and less mindless scrolling. Reading and going to the library with my grandma when I was a little girl and checking out 8 books is a cherished memory. Somehow I got away from it after college and have been feeling the lack of it lately. You have an inspiring and authentic way of describing books that is beckoning. Thank you so much! I love the color coded tabs too 🔵🔴🟨🩷
My wife read Circe and loved it. Her recommendation with yours has now moved it toward the top of my TBR. In fact, all of your favorites have joined my TBR list. This is why I love Booktube :)
This is the first time I saw your video and like all who left a comment here I loved the way you express your passion for books and words. I am, as well, in love with the world of literature and find it a blessing to be able to understand and enjoy the beauty of a good writing. Life is unbelievable, miraculous, wonderful.... says a character in one of Woody Allen's films. Here I was - in São Paulo, Brazil ( that far away!) beginning to clean and declutter my closet this Friday afternoon, when I decided to look for something cheerful to listen to while working. I just found you by chance, talking about your 5 favourite books. Needless to say that I could not go on with my cleaning. Just sat and watched all the way through. Just wanted to thank you for sharing your love for books and for the wonderful suggestions. I won't miss any of your videos from now on!
I just found your channel and I love the way you talk about books! Circe and The Shadow of the Wind are also a couple of my favorites I haven’t read The Picture of Dorian Gray but it will be my next read.
I love how passionate you are. This made my day. Also, I agree with so many of your picks. Circe, The Shadow of The Wind, The Night Circus, The Picture of Dorian Gray….amazing list.
I'm not even English-speaker (I'm French) but this video has been recommended to me and I've to admit that it was a wonderful discovery. For sure I'll watch more videos of you in the future as your passion is contagious and you seem so kind! Thank you so much to make books vibrate that much !
I am so happy when anyone loves any sort of book, but I get a real kick out of seeing some of my favorites mentioned. Thanks so much for the video, you seem like a lovely person. I am so glad I found this channel!
Circe was one of my favorites too!! I'm rereading right now and ugh the story is so strong and beautiful, it feels like you're there with her through those centuries. Being with her through so many changes and relatable moments of adolescence & womanhood is truly magical, the book feels so long, in a good way!! And I agree, I totally wanted to be on that island with her too, just mixing herbs and caring for the land and creatures. I have two copies of Dorian Gray that I haven't cracked open yet so that will be my next read :)
I've just found my new favourite channel. Love the passion with which you talk about books. I've had Circe on my bookshelf for years but have never got around to reading it. I certainly will now. And The Picture of Dorian Grey is also now on my list. Thankyou for such a great channel
Hello 🤗 I am new to your channel It is so beautiful to see how much you love books and reading 📖 and let's not forget the words on the books that make the book so enjoyable to read. Nice to meet you Diane from Canada 🇨🇦
Oh my God! Finally, somebody is talking about The Shadow Of The Wind! This book made me fall in love with reading! I recently just bought the whole series. I'm so excited to reread this series!
Thank you, thank you for these book reviews. I had read The Picture of Dorian Grey and was aware of the other 4 books, but wasn't interested enough to actually read them. I certainly will read them now. Please review more books whenever possible.
I’ve just discovered you and I’m so happy to hear Shadow of the Wind made your list! It’s my favorite book. I have Circe in my library but haven’t read it yet. Off to read it now 😊
You really made my day! It was so beautiful listening to you talk about books, thank you for sharing! I have read and loved The Picture of Dorian Gray, but you talking about it made me want to read it again ahahaha... I was debating whether to read the Night Circus and Circe, but you have convinced me to do it!! I also adore beautiful prose and my two favorite books of all time are On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous and Interview with the Vampire, both of which have breathtaking prose, so I would definitely recommend both! Thank you again for the wonderful video, you've got a new subscriber
Thank you my wonderful friend, I love interview with a vampire and really need to read we were briefly gorgeous, I've heard great things about it. Sending love
love seeing the passion you have for these books! circe and dorian gray are my top two favorite books of all time as well, and i've been looking for new good books to read... so i'm excited to check out the other ones you recommended.
This was such a lovely video to watch! I'm really enchanted in the way you talk so passionately and refers to the audience as "my friends", it's my first time seeing you, we live in different places, but in this weird anachronistic way, we both share love for the same thing. I read 'Circe' in 2020 where so many changes in my life were happening and never stopped loving the book since. I've never read 'Ready Player One', but heard of it from other friends and I just feel like I should leave at least a single recommendation after you've given me yours, so I suggest (if you haven't read it already) 'Tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow'. It tells the story of two friends who are indie game developers, from the moment when they first meet as kids to their stardom in the game industry, but in the core of it is about friendship, love, grief and is filled with so many great discussions about life and different perspectives put in place. One of those books where you end and say "oh yeah that was nice i guess" and then proceed to not stop thinking about it for months lol
Hello my wonderful friend, thank you for your kind words, you have blessed me. Tomorrow Tomorrow Tomorrow was such a great book, I will do a review on it one day. We really do have the same taste in books. Sending love
Browsing and came across this. Read your caption then saw the thumbnail and immediately watch the video. I love love Circe so much. Dorian Grey and Night Circus were both on my TBR list, think i'm gonna prioritize those two. Just finished A Thousand Splendid Suns last night and my eyes are a little swollen when I woke up this morning.😄 Highly recommended for those who haven't read it. Love your enthusiasm btw. Very rare to find book reviews like this.
As someone who immensely loves books and watching someone who also loves books very much obvious by the way he talks about them. Can't lie this video made me so happy!❤ and I've been quite reluctant to pick up and finally read Circe but this video has just motivated me to do so💞
I just find your channel and it brought me a lot of joy, happiness and excitement! I've been having very hard few days with my anxiety and I clicked this video to distract myself from my worries and it totally worked. I am a big classic reader and i've been in a reading slump. Your passion about the books you have read made me want to read more and i'm sure that i'll be done reading the Edgar Allan Poe's stories tomorrow at the bus while going to school. You are appreciated and i'm sure that i'll be watching you more often!! Stay healthy my friend. :) p.s: i am Turkish so i'm sorry for my grammar mistakes!
I love and agree with all of the positive comments. I will be adding all these books to my tbr list! You have a beautiful soul. You give us a glimpse into it by how you describe each book. The world needs more people like you in it. ✨📚 ☕
I am so happy I just found your channel. I wish I would have had an English teacher like you to stir my soul. Were you a teacher? Thank you for being so passionate ❤
I'm a bit dumbfounded... first time visiting your channel. Shadow of the Wind, Circe, and the Night Circus are 3 of my very favorite books and I have spoken about them just as you have. I've not read Picture of Dorian Gray - but it's on the list now. I love how you speak with such love and even reverence about books and words. Very powerful. I am an artist (painter) and feel that my paintings are expressions of my soul. Line, color, texture etc are the tools that I use, just as a writer uses words to render a true expression of the soul. I also have noticed that poets write very beautiful novels... do you know Anne Michaels? A Canadian poet and author who recently published a novel called 'Held' which I recommend. So happy I've discovered your channel - thank you.
Welcome my wonderful friend, thank you for your beautiful comment, I love how you express your very self in your art, love it. I will check out Anne Michael’s. Sending Love
Thank you for your beautiful review. Shadow of the Wind is my all time favorite book. Since then most books are just good. I’ve read great stories of course but the writing was so magical to me. Thank you for the recommendations. I can’t wait to get to them!
I came across your channel by complete chance today, finding three of my favourite books in your top 5 (The Night Circus, Ready Player One and The Shadow of the Wind). That and your obvious passion for books was so worthy of a sub and I'm now heading off to buy Circe, the only one of the five I haven't read. Thank you for the recommendation!
I was the same with The Night Circus. It was an alright read at first, but once I was done, I just couldn't get it out of my head. I read it again and found myself in love with it. There's something enchanting about the circus, the romance, and the plot was a breath of fresh air.
Watching this video was such a joy! I lovw how passionate you are, and you really made me curious about these books, parricularly Circe! I want to learn about her island and why you would like to live there, so definitely picking it up soon!
I've read 2/5 of these and those 2 are some of my favorites. With that said, I now need to read the other 3/5 two of which I already own! You just pushed them to the top of my reading list. Thank you!
Im always looking for more recs from male readers, especially so that I can pass book recs down to my husband. Of course he can read ANYTHING, but we don’t have the same taste normally, and the fact that you have not only twilight but the mortal instruments behind you is what caught my eye. While not the best pieces of literary fiction, those are some of my favorite comfort series. Makes me feel like I’ll get well rounded opinions lol.
Thank you my wonderful friend, yes I keep all my comfort reads around me, and Mortal Instruments sooooo good. I hope your husband enjoys my picks. Bless You
I love song of Achilles, and Circe has been on my shelf for a couple years but I just didn’t get to it! Definitely going to read it asap after your glowing review! :)
Just found your channel, and enjoying your enthusiasm very much 😊 📚 I have subscribed! 🎉 I live in London UK, and I used to work in a pub in Chelsea, and every day, I walked past where Oscar Wilde lived, Tite St. There is a plaque there now. There is a book ‘The Street Of Wonderful Possibilities’ by Devon Cox - it’s a history about all the famous writers and artists and other accomplished people who have lived in Tite St. I haven’t read it, but I will soon.
I go back and re-read The Night Circus so many times! every time I do I find something else to love! It is so lovely to see someone on here so full of passion, its been missing here latey!
Just found your channel. What a wonderful video. I also adore The Night Circus. It's such a great story. I purchased her other book and plan to read it soon. I am currently rereading Harvest Home by Thomas Tryon. This book started my love of folk horror back in the 1970's. I just gifted someone a copy, and I thought I would read it again to refresh my memory. Still loving it. I plan on reading Circe next so I was happy to see how much you enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing!
Im Arabic,I learned English many years ago and it felt normal for me until I watched ur video,after watching it I really felt so proud of my myself for learning English and being able to understand it,I loved ur video because it’s not like the others,others share the idea of the book ,but you on the other hand share feelings,emotions,ideas,thoughts,enthusiasm and incredible energy!! And I also feel so proud of u for keeping your passion ,because people,get busy with life,and forget their passion.
You sir, have got range!!! What a varied and beautiful collection❤ i adored Circe!!!! I will definitely pick up The Picture of Dorian Grey and I will be ordering Asha!
I don’t think you realize how refreshing it is to see content from ppl with this level of passion for books 🥹 more of this!!
Thank you so much, you are a blessing to me ❤️
When you said "Can I read some of this to you?" ABSOLUTELY! Your care and love for these books are completely infectious! The beauty written in these books a truly something else! Thank you for sharing your favorites. Now I know what my next reads shall be. And lastly, your video simply helped me out of my pause on reading. :)
Thank you my friend, your words are a blessing to me. Sending love

I have also read Circe and enjoyed it so so much, the way Circe has a deep love and admiration towards humans, how the writer expesses that love in such a poetic way, it really is an amazing read.

Thank you so much, I am really excited to read call me by your name I love beautiful writing. You are a blessing. Sending love
I've just discovered your beautiful channel ❤
You love and revere books which shines through and it is such a pleasure to listen to you 🌻
I absolutely agree. Watched this video two nights ago and subscribed. Love the passion for books and writing. One of my sons shares my love of books and has the same version of Circe. I must read it now! Thank you for sharing and look forward to your videos. Take care my friend!
This guy is so full of passion, it’s rare to see :) best to him
Thank you my friend, sending love
Circe as an audiobook is incredible. One of the best narrations I’ve heard.
I'm so excited to check out the audiobook, thank you great idea. Sending love
Who is reading it please?
@@CorpseBride64 perdita weeks is the narrator
My favourite!!!!!
I’ve just bought Circe on Audible now, after seeing this channel review and your comment. I had 4 credits to spend 😊 I have the actual book somewhere but as I have so many bookcases and approx 5k books, I’d take a while to find it
Reading is not just a luxury, but an essential for understanding and maintaining an ongoing democracy of good will.

If you like poets writing prose, I would recommend (if you haven't read it) my favourite novel Nightwood by Djuna Barnes.
Yes thank you, I am excited to check it out. Sending love my friend
Your passion for books is absolutely wholesome. Absolutely loved Circe as well so I will definitely check out your other recommendations, thank you!

You’ve convinced me-ordering Circe now.
I know you will love Circe, Bless you my friend ❤️
You won’t be disappointed, it’s a great book and read!
I love the magical way you have of reviewing these wonderful books.. and your coloured tab readings of some of the black words inside of them. ❤🙏
Thank you my wonderful friend. Sending love
I haven't read Circe. But I really enjoyed Song of Achilles also by Madeline Miller.
I still haven't read song of Achilles, I really need to. I know you will love Circe. Sending love

I have two copies of Dorian Gray that I haven't cracked open yet so that will be my next read :)
Yes you really feel the island the atmosphere sooooo beautiful. You are in for a special treat with The Picture Of Dorian Gray. Bless You My Friend ❤️
Your passion for books is infectious, and I really appreciate that. Wonderful 👍🤗🇬🇧
Thank you my wonderful friend, sending love ❤️
Yes! Circe! Loved it so much and loved you for loving it, too. Your enthusiasm is phenomenal to behold.
Thank you for your kind words, you are a blessing to me
I read the song of Achilles by Miller. Loved it.
I love her writing so much, I can't wait to read song of Achilles. Sending love
I've just found my new favourite channel. Love the passion with which you talk about books. I've had Circe on my bookshelf for years but have never got around to reading it. I certainly will now. And The Picture of Dorian Grey is also now on my list. Thankyou for such a great channel
That makes me so happy, sending love ❤️
I just found your channel and it’s such a gem. I love this video. Circe is one of my favorite books
Bless you my wonderful friend, welcome
Hello 🤗 I am new to your channel
It is so beautiful to see how much you love books and reading 📖 and let's not forget the words on the books that make the book so enjoyable to read.
Nice to meet you Diane from Canada 🇨🇦

I know you will love them, bless you my wonderful friend
I love your spirit ! a love how you read, ❤ it makes me wanna read right away in a cozy chair under the blanket, i feel like home ❤
I love that and love you my wonderful friend ❤️
You have such warm grandpa energy ❤
Thank you, sending love
Oh my God! Finally, somebody is talking about The Shadow Of The Wind! This book made me fall in love with reading! I recently just bought the whole series. I'm so excited to reread this series!
It's so good! Love you my friend
A stunning and sometimes haunting book that is also full of whimsy and curiosity....Fermin is one of my favorite literary characters....
Oscar Wilde was TOTALLY judging you ;) I loved this video! Thanks for sharing!
Haaaaa you saw that, I know. Thank you my friend, sending love
Thank you, thank you for these book reviews. I had read The Picture of Dorian Grey and was aware of the other 4 books, but wasn't interested enough to actually read them. I certainly will read them now.
Please review more books whenever possible.
I know you will love them, bless you my friend
I love this content so much, this has inspired me to pick up reading again. Thank you!!
That makes me so happy, sending love ❤️
I’ve just discovered you and I’m so happy to hear Shadow of the Wind made your list! It’s my favorite book. I have Circe in my library but haven’t read it yet. Off to read it now 😊
Welcome my wonderful friend, I am so excited you are going to read Circe. Sending love
You really made my day! It was so beautiful listening to you talk about books, thank you for sharing! I have read and loved The Picture of Dorian Gray, but you talking about it made me want to read it again ahahaha... I was debating whether to read the Night Circus and Circe, but you have convinced me to do it!! I also adore beautiful prose and my two favorite books of all time are On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous and Interview with the Vampire, both of which have breathtaking prose, so I would definitely recommend both! Thank you again for the wonderful video, you've got a new subscriber
Thank you my wonderful friend, I love interview with a vampire and really need to read we were briefly gorgeous, I've heard great things about it. Sending love
Loving your passion, so great to see and share.
Thanks so much! Bless You
love seeing the passion you have for these books! circe and dorian gray are my top two favorite books of all time as well, and i've been looking for new good books to read... so i'm excited to check out the other ones you recommended.
Bless you my wonderful friend ❤️
This was such a lovely video to watch! I'm really enchanted in the way you talk so passionately and refers to the audience as "my friends", it's my first time seeing you, we live in different places, but in this weird anachronistic way, we both share love for the same thing. I read 'Circe' in 2020 where so many changes in my life were happening and never stopped loving the book since.
I've never read 'Ready Player One', but heard of it from other friends and I just feel like I should leave at least a single recommendation after you've given me yours, so I suggest (if you haven't read it already) 'Tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow'. It tells the story of two friends who are indie game developers, from the moment when they first meet as kids to their stardom in the game industry, but in the core of it is about friendship, love, grief and is filled with so many great discussions about life and different perspectives put in place. One of those books where you end and say "oh yeah that was nice i guess" and then proceed to not stop thinking about it for months lol
Hello my wonderful friend, thank you for your kind words, you have blessed me. Tomorrow Tomorrow Tomorrow was such a great book, I will do a review on it one day. We really do have the same taste in books. Sending love
Browsing and came across this. Read your caption then saw the thumbnail and immediately watch the video. I love love Circe so much. Dorian Grey and Night Circus were both on my TBR list, think i'm gonna prioritize those two. Just finished A Thousand Splendid Suns last night and my eyes are a little swollen when I woke up this morning.😄 Highly recommended for those who haven't read it.
Love your enthusiasm btw. Very rare to find book reviews like this.
Thank you for your kind words, I will check out A Thousand Splendid Suns. Sending love
fantastic. thank you for sharing
Bless you my friend ❤️
As someone who immensely loves books and watching someone who also loves books very much obvious by the way he talks about them. Can't lie this video made me so happy!❤ and I've been quite reluctant to pick up and finally read Circe but this video has just motivated me to do so💞
That makes me so happy, love you my wonderful friend. I know you will love Circe ❤️
I just find your channel and it brought me a lot of joy, happiness and excitement! I've been having very hard few days with my anxiety and I clicked this video to distract myself from my worries and it totally worked. I am a big classic reader and i've been in a reading slump. Your passion about the books you have read made me want to read more and i'm sure that i'll be done reading the Edgar Allan Poe's stories tomorrow at the bus while going to school. You are appreciated and i'm sure that i'll be watching you more often!! Stay healthy my friend. :)
p.s: i am Turkish so i'm sorry for my grammar mistakes!
Hello my wonderful friend, welcome
I am so glad to meet you. Sending you love ❤️
@@Magus9 thank you so much! 😇😇
what a wholesome guy, this is by far the best book review video i've ever seen. love from Africa
Thank you, love you my wonderful friend
Loving the way how so passionately and with great love u talk abiut books ❤
Thank you, bless you my wonderful friend
I love and agree with all of the positive comments. I will be adding all these books to my tbr list!
You have a beautiful soul. You give us a glimpse into it by how you describe each book. The world needs more people like you in it. ✨📚 ☕
Thank you my friend for blessing me with your kind words, sending you love
Found your lovely channel via this video! Really hope you consider sharing more of your good reads and books (or magick content)! Subscribed!
Welcome my friend, you are a blessing to me. Sending love
I am so happy I just found your channel. I wish I would have had an English teacher like you to stir my soul. Were you a teacher? Thank you for being so passionate ❤
Thank you my wonderful friend for being so kind, I just love sharing beautiful words with the world. You are a blessing to me. Love You
So cool to find someone who loves books, literature, the way you do. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for your kind words, love you my friend
I'm a bit dumbfounded... first time visiting your channel. Shadow of the Wind, Circe, and the Night Circus are 3 of my very favorite books and I have spoken about them just as you have. I've not read Picture of Dorian Gray - but it's on the list now. I love how you speak with such love and even reverence about books and words. Very powerful. I am an artist (painter) and feel that my paintings are expressions of my soul. Line, color, texture etc are the tools that I use, just as a writer uses words to render a true expression of the soul. I also have noticed that poets write very beautiful novels... do you know Anne Michaels? A Canadian poet and author who recently published a novel called 'Held' which I recommend. So happy I've discovered your channel - thank you.
Welcome my wonderful friend, thank you for your beautiful comment, I love how you express your very self in your art, love it. I will check out Anne Michael’s. Sending Love
The meditations within “The Mill on the Floss” by George Eliot has totally touch my soul. Thank you for sharing your favorite books.
Bless You my friend I am so excited to check that book out I'm getting the best recommendations in the comments. Sending love ❤️
Thank you for your beautiful review. Shadow of the Wind is my all time favorite book. Since then most books are just good. I’ve read great stories of course but the writing was so magical to me. Thank you for the recommendations. I can’t wait to get to them!
Hello my wonderful friend, yes it really is magical, such a beautiful book. Sending love
I came across your channel by complete chance today, finding three of my favourite books in your top 5 (The Night Circus, Ready Player One and The Shadow of the Wind). That and your obvious passion for books was so worthy of a sub and I'm now heading off to buy Circe, the only one of the five I haven't read. Thank you for the recommendation!
Welcome my wonderful friend, I am so excited for you to read Circe. Come back and let me know what you think. Sending love
I was the same with The Night Circus. It was an alright read at first, but once I was done, I just couldn't get it out of my head. I read it again and found myself in love with it. There's something enchanting about the circus, the romance, and the plot was a breath of fresh air.
Yes Exactly Sooooo Good 👍 Bless You My Friend
Just found your channel tonight and really enjoyed listening to you talk about these books. I have subscribed and look forward to hearing more.
Thank you, sending love my friend ❤️
Watching this video was such a joy! I lovw how passionate you are, and you really made me curious about these books, parricularly Circe! I want to learn about her island and why you would like to live there, so definitely picking it up soon!
Thank you my friend, you made my day, bless you ❤️ I know you will love Circe
Thank you so much for this passionate, interesting and uplifting content. It is wonderful to see someone enthuse over the power of words.
Thank you, bless you my friend ❤️
I just discovered you...and your passion, i think even my grocery list, if read by you, would sound so romantic and deep❤🎉
You are so sweet, Bless You 💖
I've read 2/5 of these and those 2 are some of my favorites. With that said, I now need to read the other 3/5 two of which I already own! You just pushed them to the top of my reading list. Thank you!
That is wonderful, I know you will love them. Sending Love
Im always looking for more recs from male readers, especially so that I can pass book recs down to my husband. Of course he can read ANYTHING, but we don’t have the same taste normally, and the fact that you have not only twilight but the mortal instruments behind you is what caught my eye. While not the best pieces of literary fiction, those are some of my favorite comfort series. Makes me feel like I’ll get well rounded opinions lol.
Thank you my wonderful friend, yes I keep all my comfort reads around me, and Mortal Instruments sooooo good. I hope your husband enjoys my picks. Bless You
I love song of Achilles, and Circe has been on my shelf for a couple years but I just didn’t get to it! Definitely going to read it asap after your glowing review! :)
I know you will love it, bless you my friend
Just found your channel, and enjoying your enthusiasm very much 😊 📚 I have subscribed! 🎉
I live in London UK, and I used to work in a pub in Chelsea, and every day, I walked past where Oscar Wilde lived, Tite St. There is a plaque there now.
There is a book ‘The Street Of Wonderful Possibilities’ by Devon Cox - it’s a history about all the famous writers and artists and other accomplished people who have lived in Tite St. I haven’t read it, but I will soon.
Hello my wonderful friend, I would love to see where Oscar Wilde lived, that is awesome. Sending love
I go back and re-read The Night Circus so many times! every time I do I find something else to love! It is so lovely to see someone on here so full of passion, its been missing here latey!
Yes, night circus is a book that sticks with you, the story imagery very atmospheric and great quotes. Bless you my wonderful friend ❤️
Just found your channel. What a wonderful video.
I also adore The Night Circus. It's such a great story. I purchased her other book and plan to read it soon.
I am currently rereading Harvest Home by Thomas Tryon. This book started my love of folk horror back in the 1970's. I just gifted someone a copy, and I thought I would read it again to refresh my memory. Still loving it.
I plan on reading Circe next so I was happy to see how much you enjoyed it.
Thank you for sharing!
I know you will love Circe, bless you my friend
Your tranquility is a fresh break from the ranting against the economy loop I was in. Thank you👍
Thank you , sending love
Looove this, it also convinced me to get Circe off my shelf and start reading!
That makes me so happy. Love you my wonderful friend
Im Arabic,I learned English many years ago and it felt normal for me until I watched ur video,after watching it I really felt so proud of my myself for learning English and being able to understand it,I loved ur video because it’s not like the others,others share the idea of the book ,but you on the other hand share feelings,emotions,ideas,thoughts,enthusiasm and incredible energy!!
And I also feel so proud of u for keeping your passion ,because people,get busy with life,and forget their passion.
Hello my friend, thank you for your kind words, you blessed me. I am so happy my love and passion for books inspired you. Sending Love
I picked up a copy of Circe today and I'm loving it so far. Thank you for recommending such a beautifully written book!
