im new here but im in love with ur vids already 😭this year has been the toughest for me in terms of reading i hope by watching tbr vids help me lol PS: your haircut looks amazing!!
aaaahhh this made my day, so glad you're here!!! 💕 I hope you get your reading mojo back, I always find that the bookish side of the internet makes me feel motivated to read + tysm!!!! im in love with cut so im glad others do too
martyr sounds interesting!! i’ve been meaning to put a hold on it at the library but i keep forgetting 😅 loved this vlog!!
I hope you put in a hold after the video!!! or else!!!!!!
i love love tbr jar vids and tbh the longer the better <33 wish you a productive month!!
ahhh thank you!!! I wish you the same ⭐️
what a fun month of reading!! 📚
it truly was such a successful month!!! ☺️
Omg I’ve wanted to read sea of tranquility for ages!! Hope you like it I’m looking forward to your thoughts
I will report back!!!
Kittentits has a great cover, the story tho…😳
omg wait im nervous... do you mean it in a good or bad way? 😅
@@backtoreads bad, but that’s just my opinion
@@ChanelChapters oh noooo I was hoping that wasn't the case! im still hoping for a good time tho even if its bad :')
Hi Mali! Great list. Just wanted to let you know about Time of the Flies…You need to read Tuya, first! (I think the translated title is All Yours). It’s really short, but it gives you so much context for time of the flies. The books are not marketed as a duology, but they should be 😊
Liars is excellent!
hiiii I had absolutely no idea omg I'll try my best to read it before time of the flies but in any case thank you for putting it on my radar 🫶🏼
yayyy glad to hear it!!!
wassupp 🦋🌟
@@Isaiah11823 hiiii!!! it’s been a while ⭐️
@@backtoreads it has ! I miss you & I always learn something new. Are you ready for the fall ? 🍁 what’s your favorite book in 2024 and how would you describe the year so far ☺️
you slayed this
@@JemimaRose thank uuuu 😌💗
omg this whole vlog was such a vibe, your room looks so cozy & your journal is so nice 😭
aaahhh thank you!!! you liking my room makes me so happy bc it truly is my safe space 🥺💗
writers & lovers has been on my tbr FOREVER... also, briefly, a delicious life sounds fantastic what the heck ! i knew of it but nothing of what it was about. 😍
omg if you ever only pick up one of my book recs please make it briefly a delicious life! its soooo good and so underrated
all fours intrigues me so much. also, so happy for you that you loved private rites!
all fours is definitely worth the read!!! and im soooo happy I loved private rites, it definitely exceeded my expectations a bit
Hi, can I ask how you got the book so quick? I thought it only launched yesterday? Maybe I signed up to the wrong website 😂 thx
hiii my copy of intermezzo is an advance reader copy or arc for short!!! publishers will send arcs of books in advance in order to generate buzz and early reviews!!! in my case I emailed the pub house for an arc copy and they actually sent me the book :')))
Love these recs. I also have Mariana Enriquez’s new book on my tbr
@@athenasatheneum thank uuuuu ⭐️ it’s going to be a mariana enríquez autumn babeyyyyyy
book recs for you: all the lovers in the night, madonna in a fur coat, certain dark things, the southern book clubs guide to slaying vampires ❤🍂

Ooooo I haven’t heard of these! Astral beauty, beastly beauty sounds really good!

just thinking about it makes me tear up again 🥺💕i have so much love for peter and ivan it's unreal 😭😭😭 tysm nathan!!! so happy you enjoyed the vlog and i'm even happier that intermezzo was this damn good :')
I have loved every single one of her novels, so seeing how much you liked this one gives me so much joy!! Totally support the idea of a reread 💕
@@theknightssayme i will definitely be reread her work soon!!! kinda kicking myself for selling her books a year or so ago 😵💫 and about intermezzo i was sooo pleasantly surprised :’)))
Just found your channel x
hiiii ☺💕 welcome~
If An Egyptian Cannot Speak English is on my top 10 for this year
it's SO GOOD!!! it's definitely on my fave list as well
Loved Our Wives Under The Sea and am hype to read Private Rites 📖🪱💚
you're going to love private rites!!! happy reading <3
I'm so happy to fond a puerto rican book vlogger still on the island 😭😭😭❤i love your taste in music and books. I've been trying to get through "her body and other parties" :-)
omg hiiiiii!!! ☺️💕 yes I'm still in the island (and don't see myself leaving anytime soon) thank you sooooo much for that!!! how are you liking her body? I've forgotten so many of the stories in that collection by now, I don't think it was as strong as I would have liked... have you read her memoir, "in the dream house"? it's one that I still think about to this day
@backtoreads I miss it so much! I moved away when I was 9, so it's lovely seeing the island through UA-cam. So happy to see you reading cool books. I can't wait to watch your other videos 😌
You had such an interesting reading month!! My August wasn’t great reading wise, but I finished Penance last week and it was pretty great 😌📚
thank you, august was definitely a great time for me :'))) oouu I've been curious about penance but after disliking boy parts I'm a bit apprehensive about it...BUT I've heard great things so I'm glad you enjoyed it <3
What an awesome list of books, love the weird vibes! I love different and unusual perspectives too, When I dance the mountains sing sounds great. Pink slime sounds interesting too. Although I’fe vowed to take a break from depressing books so maybe later! 😂 📚 Can’t wait to try Julia Armfield as well. I had a horrible reading month in August, in terms of how much reading I did, but I did finally get to Song of Achilles and Pachinko, and those were great.
thank you!!! august was a very pleasant surprise! I definitely recommend you getting into some julia armfield whenever you're in the mood, she's spectacular and soooo perfect to read this upcoming fall season. GIRLLLL just reading pachinko made your august a great reading month omg that's my all time favorite book and I'm so glad you enjoyed it as well <3
@@backtoreads I can't wait! So many on the tbr list though, but some day I'll get there! 😅 Haha true, it was a very good book. Quality over quantity! That's awesome that you love it so much! I read it as part of a challenge, so I think I rushed it a bit. But still good. There will be a book club discussion of it coming up on my channel as well, so in case you wanna talk about it more you're welcome to join in! 😊
@@ellenmadebookclub ooouuu i will most definitely try my best to catch the show and join!!! 💗
@@backtoreads It will be a video, so you’re welcome whenever it suits you! I just need to edit first 😂 Didn’t mean to comment for my own plug though haha just since you loved Pachinko so much I thought I’d mention it! 😊
@@ellenmadebookclub noooo don’t apologize, i’ll love to watch and join in the convo about a book we both love!!! 🤧💗

I’m so happy you had such a good reading month! They really all sound super interesting
thank you!! ☺️ 💗
I got an arc for When I Sing, Mountains Dance and now I’m feeling so stupid for not having read it! I need to do it, thanks for reminding me of it!! 🤍 PS: I have the same Lana t-shirt but for Porto!
omg babes get into it!!! I wasn't expecting it to be SO GOOD 💗 and about the lana shirt, I still can't believe that I saw her 😭😭😭 it was my first festival + the first time seeing her live and it was a religious experience lol I started sobbing
@@backtoreadsYes!! I felt the same way, her voice was so beautiful and everyone singing. It was really something else 💕
love the video! i put when i sing mountains dance on my tbr. it sounds so good
omg that makes me sooo happy!!! hope you enjoy <3
Acts of Service is SO FUN! Approach her with an open mind 😂
hahaha I will definitely try my best!!!
Great picks! Acts of Service can be fun if you let yourself get carried into the drama. And A Girl Returned is quite special 💜
I promise to give acts of service a fair try!!! im sooooooooo excited for a girl returned, the blurb sounds amazing
you're on my rob list !
locking my doors!!! 😳
Such a nice video 🥰 I think 100 years is the perfect summer book but it's a little difficult to read, I recommend using a family tree as you read along (if your edition doesn't have one then you can find one online) just so it's easier to follow lol ❤ also I'm reading martyr! atm and it isn't what I was expecting but it's so beautifully written. I hope you like them both!!!
thank you!!! my copy has a family tree which I'll be using religiously! I'm already getting a tad confused with the similarities in names hahaha ouuuuu im really hoping for the best type of vibes with martyr! because otherwise I'm not sure to expect!!! I'll be vlogging a couple of these books + talking about them in a monthly wrap up if you're curious about my thoughts💗
i loove ur idea of a prompt jar. personally for tbrs i just choose at random if i’m at a bookstore or online and i try to pick books that are in the theme of the month or the season and stuff. love ur videos ur super cute 🫶🏻
ahhh ALIA BABY HIII tysmmmm 🥺I love a seasonal tbr!!! those are always soooo fun to put together
I should create a prompt jar too
@@SchoggiGurke i highly recommend!! it’s super fun!!!!
I read The House of the Spirits when I was a teenager and I was obsessed with it! It was my favorite book for years and I really want to reread it now as an adult and see if my opinion changes. I hope you find it as special as I did :)
that's beautiful!! 💗 I'm hoping to find that it touches me as deeply as it did to you
What a lovely video! It made me so nostalgic for my trip to Paris, when I visited the same bookshops!! And I also added some new bookshops to my list that I hope I get to visit :)
thank you!!!! I'm still in awe that I was able to visit the amazing bookstores of Paris 🥺💗
Aww the fall/winter is a good time to read la casa de los espíritus❤! A mí me gustó! Margaret & the missing como-se-llame también me lo leí & it was v unique! Best of luck! U should vlog ur attempts to finish ur tbr!
hahaha not the como-se-llame, enverdad qua tiene un titulo super largo!!! estoy superrrr emocionada por la casa de los espíritus, de seguro que lo voy a guardar para un día de otoño de verdad ☺️🍂 oooouuu que idea buenísima me has dado~ quizás lo haga como tipo serie
Literally with you on Nightbitch and A Certain Hunger lol. Every autumn I tell myself I’ll read them and I never do 😭
this is the autumn we got to read them babes!!!!! we're doing it!!!!
ahhhh you're making me even more excited to read private rites!!
lo tienes que leer!!!! its soooo good and atmospheric, honestly perfect for a rainy autumn day 🍂
I also really want to read the shards! It sounds soooo good
@@lealarue do u want to buddy read it??? maybe that way i’ll be less scared to start it 😭
Wait i had no idea armfield had a short story collection. Im so curious about her work in general! This was fun!
she does and it's wonderful!!! highly recommend if you haven't read anything by her to start with that one <3 tysm for being here!! missed you on the tubes
the way you decorated your kindle is soooo cute omg 🥺
thank youuuuuu!!! im obsessed with her hehehe 🤭
i added it to my tbr! you got me super hyped now
yayyy!!! hope you enjoy it, I think I said this in the video but I feel like it's perfect for fall too
Marseille is really beautiful mediterranean city 🇫🇮🌴☀️🌊
agreed!!! ☺️💕
i've been wanting to reas something by ali smith for forever. Maybe this is my sign to finally do it
I do hope you like her better than I did!!!!
I hope you get more publisher mail, I love to see your perspective.
thank you!!! 💌
Perfume and pain was also my biggest surprise so far this year. Messy women books are so hit and miss for me but this one just hit correctly!!
I personally love a 'messy women' book but I'm glad we both enjoyed this one!!!
finally someone understands how wrong and off-putting “Boy Parts” is.
omg im glad u feel that too!!! its honestly so shocking to be the only one among my mutuals and friends
omg i am also someone who doesn’t typically stay up late to finish books so hearing that you stayed up till 3am for perfume & pain???? i’m sold
I've literally gone to sleep with only a few pages left to finish a book, I will sleep when im tired idc how good the book is 😭 so the fact that I was wide awake says something about P&P
@@backtoreads SAME!!!!! like im sorry i can’t keep my eyes open anymore even if its just a few pages left LOL
so glad to have come across your channel!!
ahhh hi cass!!! huge fan of your channel!!! so glad to have you here 💗🥺
