I read it and i love it❤❤

At 5:42 "Don`t call me shortcake ! " Well it would depend...are you short ? Lol.

this book is bad and dangerous. it's sad that these kind of books get so popular

“That sucks but uhhh.. get to fuckin work” 😂 I’m cackling

I just finished the audiobook after watching the miniseries and I loved both. The love story alone was fascinating and I think there would’ve been plenty of adaptations had this story come out sooner. Comparing the two I think I’ll the miniseries a slight edge bc it incorporates Lali telling the story to Heather in his later years and the trauma he still dealt with to this day. It’s also surprising to learn that Heather Morris was a working nurse in Melbourne who wanted to take up writing. So some of the book’s faults is probably due to her lack of experience

I think you may have a misunderstanding of the context of the novel. It’s a personal experience, one that for him was driven by love. He isn’t a reliable narrator and he shows emotion in his portrayal of events. Also a side note, it would be incredibly likely that medicine was available as Polish scientist Rudolph Weigl had started his work as early as the 20’s and was in large scale testing by the mid 30’s. It’s very possible that this medicine was even more available than history shows with how tightly controlled the Nazi regime was. Enjoyed your book but just wanted to touch on that point.

I have just buy it

Straight male here but I sometimes read romance. Loving this book so far. Watching this review when I am done with the book, don't want any spoilers.

Sorry I listened ...

I know that we all have different tastes but when I finished reading this book I said to myself, "What book did the people who gave it above 3 stars read? Because this one definitely isn't. I feel like the book could have been good but the ending felt rushed.

Omg i had the same view. I am surprised that this book is so famous. It very okayish.

Great video, I'm from Detroit and will be opening a bookstore soon

I just read Eleanor Oliphant. **spoilers ahead** I can totally see some workplaces being like Eleanor’s (maybe not all the way as bad as making fun of her, calling her Michael Jackson when she was wearing her white cotton gloves for her eczema bad) but yes I agree that people should leave toxic work situations! I kept wondering if Eleanor would leave and find a different job. It was nice that Bob promoted her and then supported her when she was on leave. But the other coworkers were immature and nasty with how judgmental they were. They didn’t even start being nicer to Eleanor until she changed her appearance. They were so shallow! I do think the lack of social skills is from the depression. The depression leads her to isolate herself so she gets out of practice with socializing. Also she didn’t have consistency in her friend groups growing up after the fire. She was bounced around from different foster homes and schools. She didn’t have a childhood best friend group where she could get socializing practice in with a set of people who she trusted and loved her unconditionally and would forgive her for making mistakes or being socially awkward. So she was already lacking in socialization from childhood then the isolation stemming from the depression made things worse.

Very shallow review, you're just repeating yourself. A 20 minute video without saying anything

I finished reading the book yesterday. There are a number of inaccuracies and the availability of penicillin at the time was one of them as you mentioned. The most crucial error in my opinion is that Gita’s number is not correct in the book. I won’t mention the others just in case people are in the middle of reading it. I would not recommend the book per se but it has prompted me to further research the stories of both Lale and Gita, pre and post war.

I own Homegoing, but you're really convincing me I need to pick it up soon. Hunger was so gorgeous, but also just a brutal book.

Honestly just curious if the next book in that Tessa Bailey series will finally be a winner! The creepy sexist overprotectiveness that was in both would weird me out!

Who just randomly announces plans and never follows up? No wonder no one came. That's not a real plan. Give people a date and time in writing. Also has that author sounds like she's never shopped at a thrift store because they are the best for professional clothes. Oh that ending wtf

I saw someone twitting a quote about this book and had to came here to see some reviews hahaha from the beginning of your explanation seems like this would be a better in a college setting Wait... He likes her, he knows she likes him (because of TMZ) and they fake date? Wtf

Would this be good for an elderly lady with dementia? My 89 year old grandma loves mysteries, but the James Patterson books I got for her are too long, and she always forgets what she’s read and then has to start over. I’m looking for an engaging mystery that’s short enough for her to read in a sitting or two. The fact that it’s a compilation of 5 stories gives me some hope that she’ll be able to make it through one story at a time! Do the stories connect?

i just got back into reading books and once i finish one i like to watch reviews to see what others think. im not a big fan of series but im gonna read the second one forsure after i finish the other 2 books i bought. i do think its funny that you found yourself agreeing with Maud. the only one i can justify is the dude who would hit his wife so she knocked him down the stairs lol. that guy deserved it but idk everyone elese she could have blackmailed lol

A friend recommended the book 📕. I will take time to read it and review it.

Didn't the Cheat Sheet have the protagonist barging into the guy's apartment too?? Why is this a thing

Idk sounds kind of nonsensical 😂

Unnecessary drama going on, stuff going on, too much drama going on, yada, yada, yada. Yes, the book could have been half as long. Does anyone remember Nora and Mary Ellen going on horseback and nursing people in rural mountains of VA? Great story lines from the Waltons which this book reminds me of. Yes, it is written very similarly to The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek.

I read it in one night, such a delightful book

If you liked True Biz, I'd really recommend her other novel Girl at War. It's about the Serbian-Croatian war and so sad.

lmao your rant about the bed cost situation made me giggle. it's like, you love your family and your guests, but only SO much 😂😂

I generally like Lepore, and I thought about 80% of These Truths was really useful - I'll be interested to hear what you think about it as she gets closer to a contemporary account. I really took issue with her depiction of modern college students, for example.

Very interested in They Were Her Property. Had no idea! Love this entire video <3

Everybody has their own options,😀

Even Rachel Hollis looks great when compared to this book 😅 I literally hate that I paid for this book. It kinda made me feel like the celebs were paid to say the things they said about it, bc it’s not possible 😅

you should read " the onwomanly faces of war" about the Russian Women in WW2... Fascinating...

Welcome back, you were missed! My book club will be reading True Biz this year and I’ve heard good things about it. I love that you have a family book club!

I just started The Broken Girls and enjoyed your review. Also love your glasses (:

i personally LOVE the plot but the writing is giving 13 year old wattpad writer. just the way it’s written makes me cringe. i need colleen hoover to rewrite this with the same plot, just decent wording

This is completely random and out of the blue but Noelle Salazar is my mom and I’m super glad you liked her book even if it’s the slightest

what a fun idea!! also what a bomb outfit!!

As someone who has been avoiding corporate America like the plague for the last year and a half this title TRIGGERED me lol. This is the most creative booktube intro I've seen in awhile. You are underrated.

I am DYING watching the intro to the video

A hot new bombshell (book recommendation??) has entered the villa (tbr??)

I have been pulled into the chat

This was a cool thing- I’ve seen people do this before but not for their whole year reading. Good stuff! Overall, it seems like you had a great reading year 📚

that was fun! just like a whirlwind summary of the reading year

Looking at this, I'm realizing how many of my nonfiction audiobooks came from your channel lol

A new subscriber 🥲🫶🏻🇮🇶

Both The Mercies and The Sweetness of Water are books that I had on my TBR and then forgot about. I tend not to read much historical fiction. I need to change that!

How the Word is Passed made my favorites list for the year too. It was so interesting and so well done! And also all of these books sound so good. I'm definitely adding a few of them to my tbr to pick up this year~

Prison by Any Other Name sounds fascinating. Congrats on doing so well on the challenge!

Who actually has time to do vlogmas is what I'm wondering, like I cannot imagine filming every day. Congrats on only missing a few days of 10k steps, I'd say that's a pretty successful journey!
