@@PlantBasedBride😂❤
📚 You have such a calming voice, and I like how varied your reading is. Glad to find your channel! *subscribes*
Aw thank you ❤️ welcome!
this is such a fun overview of what you've read so far! i love LOVE your more in-depth reviews & discussions, but a video like this is a great way to quickly update my tbr & remind me of all the great things i still want to read. so thank you for that! (also omg your french book/review!! 💖)
here's to more 5 stars for the rest of the year ✨📚✨
Aw thanks! I love more in depth reviews but I agree that sometimes an overview like this is a great way to hear about a bunch of books in a short time 🥰 I’m glad you enjoy these! Et merci ☺️ I was nervous to review it in French but I did read it in French so it felt appropriate lol 😅
Absolutely love the way you engage your audience. Your review is SO GOOD❤
I’m glad you continue to make these videos because I really like this format. Thanks!! 📚
I’m so glad you like them! I do, too 🥰
I had to go back a few minutes in the video when Yoda jumped in the screen, I noticed I had only focused on the kitty for a while 😅
I love this concept! Reading through long reviews in one sitting can be tedious sometimes for multiple books so this format really helps!
Oh my goodness, this was such a great video! You inspire me to read more with these reviews!
Aw thank you! I’m honoured 🥰
I always love all of your videos!📚❤📚
Aw thank you! 🥰
📚 I was waiting on your 100 years of soltitude review since I saw you read it on goodreads! So happy that you loved it as much as I did!
I really did! I’ve been waiting to write my full review because I’m not sure how to put all my thoughts into words 😅
@@PlantBasedBridewhen you do write a review, where can I read your thoughts? I’m almost done reading this book as well
I love your one sentence reviews! I really hope you're planning on reading Fourth Wing because I'd love to see your thoughts on it. It pulled me out of a rough reading slump so I'm hopeful that you'll enjoy it 📚
You gave me lots of recs for my TBR! 📚
Awesome, I’m so glad! 🥰
So many new books to check out. Thank you! 📚
I love brief and succinct reviews! 📚
I loved this format!
I’m glad you enjoyed it!🥰
I love the idea of one sentence reviews!
So interesting and lovely voice! Subscribed! 👏🏾👏🏾
It ends with us couldn't have been summed up any better than that!
What a fun video!! 📚📖
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! ❤️❤️
Amazing. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for good book recommendations! 📚📖
You’re so welcome! ❤️
Bravo pour la critique en frrançais :) I just can't keep with the amount of books you read but Legends and Latte is definitely in my to read soon list!
So glad you enjoyed One Hundred Years of Solitude, love from Colombia 💕
It was fantastic! I’m still working on my full written review ❤️
54 books in half a year??? my brain can't comprehend 😮😮
Haha I do love to read! I try to get some reading in every day ❤️
📚📖👓🤓 This is always fun to watch! I love it! I feel like you have a lot of 5 star reads this year! It may be tough! I have read Lessons in Chemistry and Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, and I am currently listening to Legends and Lattes!
I feel like I forgot some of em bc ya went so fast but I too loved Parable Of The Sower, Tomorrow ^3, and Lessons in Chemistry, and felt Collected Regrets really hit the mark addressing the problematic tendency to put a time stamp & measure on grief….. and read all of these about same time you did . Eloquent summaries! 📖 🪱 💚
I love this video! Such a wonderful resource for discovering new books, and viral ones to avoid. Thanks so much!
You're so welcome!
I love your books SOOO good! 🫶🏼
📖 love the one sentence reviews!
So glad you enjoy them!
Really appreciated this. Thanks.
You are so very welcome, friend 🥰
your french was so good!!! so proud of you!
Aw haha thanks! I’ve been practicing ❤️
thank you so much for putting content warnings!
You are so welcome!
Loved this format, wish others would do this too.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow that is a lot of books 📚 how do you manage to read this much and update all your social media ? I’m impressed
You have such comforting voice ❤️📚
Aw haha thank you! 😅❤️
Thrilled to see Shades of Grey! Looking forward to the follow-up, Red Side Story. 🎉 Love these reading roundups. 📚 ❤
Currently on a Stuart MacBride binge reading roll. Will add a few of these to my -longer than I'll be able to read in this lifetime and possibly the next- TBR
i really like this video!📚
Aw thank you! 🥰
Loved this video! Have you reviewed legendborn? 📚
I should have a review for it on goodreads! I read it last year ☺️
I love this concept so much!
I'm reading Legends and Lattes. Haven't finished it yet, but im already wishing I could read it again for the first time. ❤📚
It's so so good ❤️
📚 Love your reviews! Would love to see a full review of One Hundred Years of Solitude.
I’m so glad you enjoy them! I’m still working on it but hopefully will have it up on goodreads soon ❤️
One Hundred Years of Solitude is one of my favorites books ever and I'm so glad you liked it ❤️
It was fantastic ❤️
Great reviews, Elizabeth! Could use each and every one to learn some new words as an ESL-speaker ! 😄
And Yoda's cameo is so cute, what a pampered little baby. 🥰🥰
Haha I was getting a little carried away with the vocab this video 😅 and yes, she is 😂 such a princess haha
Thanks for making my tbr even longer 🙃
Haha no problem 😂
📕📗📘📙 So excited that you gave a Jasper Fforde book 5 stars! I cant wait to read it 😍
So many good books and now MY TBR is in trouble. I am so impressed by these one sentence summaries- you have an amazing command of language. My favorite books of 2023 thus far have been Sunburn by Chloe Michelle Howarth (an exquisitely beautiful sapphic coming of age story set in Rural Ireland in the 90s!) and The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle! I feel like you may enjoy both, but especially the first!
Aw thank you! That’s so kind 🥺😭❤️ and Oo, that first one sounds RIGHT up my alley! Thanks for recommending it 🥰
Thank you! ☮️🧡📚
You are so welcome!
Fantastic video! You have excellent taste, and I have so many of these on my TBR. Off to GR to give you a follow!
Thank you! That’s awesome 🥰
I loved listening to you speak French :) I do not speak French but I can pick up most from it since I am a Catalan native speaker and they are very close languages
My favourite booktuber ❤📒
I am listening to the audiobook “The collected regrets of clover”. I decided to listen to this book because you gave it such a good review. 📓
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Are you liking the audiobook? Im still undecided if I want to grab a physical copy or listen to the audiobook
I like to listen to the audiobook when I do my household duties and it is a good book.
@@itsGabrielaCristinathe audiobook is so so good
📚 as always your videos make my TBR longer and longer 😂
Haha sorry (but also not 😂) ❤️
Our tastes differ to the extreme! Of the 10 books we overlap our ratings couldn't have been more different. There are also 5 books that I DNF'D which were highly rated by you but I couldn't get through. For some reason our tastes seem to be on the other ends of the spectrum...
Oh how interesting! I’d be super curious to know which ones you’ve read ❤️
The "Earthseed" duology is brilliant. I think you will love "Parable of the Talents" as well. Another stellar book by Octavia E Butler is "Kindred". Highly recommended!
Great bookish video as usual. I read many years ago One hundred years of solitude in Spanish and I loved it. García Márquez is one of my favourite writers in Spanish. I am reading right now Tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow because of your recommendation and I am loving it so far. I am afraid I will cry at the end…🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
Thank you! I definitely cried at the end of Tomorrow x3 (and One Hundred Years of Solitude, too!) ❤️
As some who also has ADHD I love one sentence reviews!
Also if you’re looking for more ADHD related non fiction I really liked the disorganized mind by Nancy A Radey… and I guess I’ll have to give the one you liked another try bc I think the narration was making me mad time 😅
Also sorry if this is already on your the but Crying in H Mart was amazing!
Parable of the Sower-- one of the very few sci-fi book I read last year and the one I've enjoyed the most so far, even though it is eearily realistic...
One Hundred Years of Solitude-- my favorite book from my favorite writer ❤ if you want recommendations, continue with Gabo's Chronicle of a Death Foretold or Strange Pilgrims ❤
Thanks to your recommendations I reconnected with my love for fiction during the pandemic, started a reading journal last year, and learned about amazing writers like Octavia Butler. Thank you! ❤📚
looved this video, so interesting:))
Glad you liked it! ❤️
I highly recommend both books by Suzy Krause: Sorry I Missed You and Valencia and Valentine. They are set in Canada and are both completely different but really beautiful stories of love and friendships
Awsome video :)
Thank you!
I just finished the audiobook of The Collected regrets of clover. It was a lovely book but I cried when Leo passed after he told her he loved her. Wow the book was filled with so many good quotes. I might have to purchase a hard copy to highlight them.
I cried so much at that part ❤️ Leo was a gem 😭
📖 love!
I love Georgette Heyer Regency romance when I need a light read. A bit like Janes Austen but more modern writing.
I don’t think I’ve heard of Heyer! I’ll have to check out their work ❤️
Adding half of these to my tbr lol 📚📖
Haha I hope you enjoy!
Interesting! 📚
Amazing
I know it’s on your TBR but I highly, highly recommend How High We Go in the Dark. It has great world building, it has great representation across many areas, the writing is excellent and it has plenty of strangeness in it without it being absurd. I cried, and I laughed and overall it’s just a really amazing book packed in such a few amount of pages. I am extremely curious on what your thoughts would be on this book after reading it.
Thank you for the recommendation! I might just have to bump this up higher on my TBR ❤️
My absolute favourite reads so far this year:
- The T in LGBT+ by Jamie Raines
An incredibly valuable guide to being trans or non-binary. Whether you're trans or enby yourself, are gender questioning, have a trans or enby loved one, are a trans ally or just curious, I absolutely recommend it.
- A Witch's Guide To Fake Dating A Demon by Sarah Hawley
Hilariously fun and easy paranormal romance between a witch and the demon that wants to bargain her soul... But really doesn't. I stayed up the entire night to read this in one go, because I was so entranced. Absolutely loved it.
- Girl, Goddess, Queen by Bea Fitzgerald
Very feminist take on the Hades and Persephone myth, which is basically badass girl falls in love with soft artsy boy with hilarious banter and the best supporting characters. Also a great take on rape culture, dysfunctional mother-daughter relationship and the growth of an adolescent into a woman embracing all of her power.
your frensh is excelent :). may i sugest to you 2 books, older ones, but very nice mystèries by gaston leroux: le mystère de la chambre jaune and le parfum de la dame en noir?
i haven't read any of the books in this video, but some are going te be on my tbr. i've been finisching some fantasy series that i started.
Aw, merci ! J'étais un peu nerveux de parler en français dans une vidéo parce que je n'ai pas beaucoup d'occasions de m'entraîner à parler ces jours-ci. Mais je pense que c'est logique vu que j'ai lu le livre en français ❤️ merci pour les recommandations ! J'espère que vous aimerez les livres que vous avez placés sur votre TBR à cause de cette vidéo 🥰
I have read Legends and Lattes and The Martian, both of which I enjoyed. I just skimmed over the juvenile humor and excess science talk in The Martian. I also very much enjoyed The City We Become and am currently listening to The World We Make. 📚
Oo have fun with TWWM! I need to go back and read more N.K. Jemisin because I always love her work ❤️
Elizabeth, I read Scorched Grace. No, I made myself finish reading it. I found the characters and the situations unbelievable and unlikeable. I honestly don't know why I finished it. I always enjoy your book reviews, however brief!
I felt exactly the same way about scorched grace 😂
You have to review "As the starts fall" by Steve N. Lee please! I can't be the only one being in a depression roller-coaster after that book
Would love to hear your opinion of "The Woman They Could Not Silence".
I would love your take on the ACOTAR series since they are trending so much and I get such mixed reviews on it. Have you already done one that I might have missed?
I read the first few when they were first coming out but don’t remember most of the details. They were around a 3 star read for me at the time, but my taste in books has changed quite a bit since then!
I am watching your video 1st time and immediately subscribing you after you gave deserved stars to ''It ends with Us'' and ''Normal People'' 😁😁💖
I just read a book in which the main character is a book writer and had written a succesful first book about "the Davenport twins" trying solve a murder. She way this main character refers to them in a "What would they do" way, annoyed me SO much. All those feelings came bubbling up when I heard you say "The Davenports". Oof..
- Nevertheless, nice video once again, and also once again perfect timing (as I was hoping for a new dose of inspiration by you) (and oh my, I do not hope this comes across as creepy as it might.. haha)
This stressed me out 😣 I don't know why but it feels like a race against time, maybe that's why... Anyhow, I love hearing you talk about books, but in a calm, lengthy way 😝 so I hope you make more of the traditional kind of book review videos in the future 😉
YES I LOVED KAIKEYI
📚 👓 I loved Entangled Lives. I recommend The Invention of Nature.
"one sentence" lol that's a lot of commas and semi colons then. 😂 ❤❤ Beautiful reviews as always ♥️♥️
Definitely a few in there 😂 to be fair, I use a lot of semicolons and commas in my writing, too. I’m a verbose lady 😅
If you’re looking for another french book, one that marked me for life was written by a journalist named Marc Boulet- Dans la peau d’un intouchable.
I’ll check it out, thank you for the recommendation!
I did not know you speak French?? That was a very pleasant whiplash of a discovery lol
📖 I recommend Parable of the Talents by Octavia E. Butler, the second in earthseed duology. Also, beyond its time in an eerie way.
Loved this video & will be checking out Monstrilio. Thanks ❤😮
I have it on my shelves ready to read! I hope you enjoy Monstrilio ❤️ It’s strange and sad and beautiful.
@@PlantBasedBride Sounds perfect
I have a book recommendation. I think you would quite like it! This book got me back into reading in 2020
The Only Girl in the World: A Memoir by maude Julien
Description from Amazon:
Maude Julien's parents were fanatics who believed it was their sacred duty to turn her into the ultimate survivor -- raising her in isolation, tyrannizing her childhood and subjecting her to endless drills designed to "eliminate weakness." Maude learned to hold an electric fence for minutes without flinching, and to sit perfectly still in a rat-infested cellar all night long (her mother sewed bells onto her clothes that would give her away if she moved). She endured a life without heat, hot water, adequate food, friendship, or any kind of affectionate treatment.
But Maude's parents could not rule her inner life. Befriending the animals on the lonely estate as well as the characters in the novels she read in secret, young Maude nurtured in herself the compassion and love that her parents forbid as weak. And when, after more than a decade, an outsider managed to penetrate her family's paranoid world, Maude seized her opportunity.
You need to read “Rapture Force” by Jaeden Tremblay. It’s very short and…. Interesting to say the least. It’s his/her debut novel so of course it has its problems. Interesting, nonetheless.
If you liked Parable of the Sower you HAVE to read it's follow up, Parable of the Talents.
I’m planning on it! It’s on my shelf ready and waiting haha
This is the most honest review of Normal People I’ve ever heard
Well thank you haha 😅
Well... now I have more books for my tbr and a few to Sadly remove.
I just want to say that while I came for the reviews…I stayed for the cat interactions 😊📚
My 4yo: "that lady has a cat. He's very cute"
Comfort CZcamsr. Excellent taste
Aw thank you 🥺❤️
Thanks for the video :) I don't read as fast as you but I'm taking all your five stars recommendations to heart and will slowly read them :) I highly and very warmly recommend to you "The Heroine's Journey" by Gail Carriger. It was such and eye opener for me!!
There's a small mindfulness book I read called "30 Days to Stop Being a Shopaholic" by Harper Daniels that was cute and actually helped
📚
❤
Funny I hated tomorrow tomorrow and tomorrow :D maybe it was the translation but the characters were so annoying in my eyes, definitely gonna read legends and lattes this sounds really cozy
Hey Elizabeth! I subscribed to your book club patreon tier at the beginning of this month, but still haven’t been added to the discord
You should have received an invite link to join as part of the thank you message when you joined the tier 🤔 if you can shoot me an email at plantbasedbride@gmail.com I’ll get it all sorted out for you!
📚☕🐱 have you read "For the Wolf" by Hannah Whitten? If not I think you'll enjoy it
