this is my first video from you and the quality omg AND YOUR VIBES!! i hope this channel can get supersupersuper big and successful, the quality is justt that good. The books you've put in the Six of Crows tier looked so cool!! and hearing you talk about them made me add them all to my tbr list 🏃 ive only read babel from that list, and I've given it 4 stars, not because it wasn't good but because some things were just, really, really repetitive and the character development wasn't really that enjoyable for me, and some things were a bit predictable so I couldn't fully enjoy it. Some of the characters frustrated me...but anyway!! 😁 And as a person that was born and raised in a foreign country, I guess the message wasn't really for me but I understand why it had a bigger impact on other people. I've been on the lookout for people with similar taste and now im never leaving xoxoxo 😁
I am new here, so I was delighted to see Six of Crows as a tier on its own. I ADORE this series and Grishaverse in general. Still haven't gotten around to reading The Familiar or The Ninth House though, because I'm a bit afraid I won’t enjoy those as much 😭 We have a similar taste. I read Babel last year and absolutely LOVED it, so it made me happy to see it in the top tier :) And I really enjoyed The Metamorphosis and Crime and Punishment when I read it, they're beloved classics for a reason. On the contrary, Carmilla didn't impress me too much either. I enjoyed the story, but it could have had more substance to it. Or more blood. Great video!! You have a very calming presence and it was fun to watch you rank your reads. Hoping for many nice days out in the second half of the year :)
lovely to have you here🥰 and love that our taste is so similar!! also- I REALLY recommend Ninth House. It was so, so good. Hopefully you’ll enjoy it as much as I did seeing as we seem to have similar opinions😁
I had a very similar experience with The Familiar, i think my own expectations were too high. I'd seen a lot of Leighs promos describing it as her most emotional/romantic work. If anything it felt abit flat overall? I did love the characters, but the story was an awkward length. Somehow both too short and too long. i wonder how it would have read as a novella/short stories collection instead? Babel continues to loiter on my tbr 😅 Also; im begging anyone who enjoys weird little books to give In The House In The Dark Of The Woods by Laird Hunt a look. Ive been describing it as if Kafka wrote a folk tale byway of The Witch and Over the garden wall. (I need someone to talk about it cause it feels like a fever dream)
i just bought the Laird Hunt book purely on your description and because the first thing that came up when i googled it was “in the house in the dark of the woods explained” 😂
@@nikkisbooks_ it was refreshing to read something modern that felt like a classic, that did "dream like" without just feeling vague and with complex female characters whos motivation isn't romance. It's also pretty short, so if it doesn't work for you it's not much if a loss

Jekyll and Hyde slaps and I refuse to be told otherwise
i’m so sorry i just couldn’t, why is it a random lawyer??? 😭
