i recommend “before the coffee gets cold” by toshikazu kawaguchi!! i haven’t heard that many people talk about this book but it’s really good! it has such a cozy vibe. it’s about this café in tokyo where customers can travel back in time. in the book you follow four visitors who want to travel back in time to confront the lover who left them, receive a letter from their husband whose memory has begun to fade, see their sister on last time and meet the daughter they never got to know. i really love how the further into the book you get, the more you see the characters relationship with one another. i loved the ending (i cried but it was a good ending). i’d loooove to be able to read this for the first time again
ahh i just finished this and literally loved it!! gave me a v similar vibe to the midnight library but i thought it was just a lot gentler to read. x
that book was soo good i cried multiple times throughout it, also loved how short it was
I just finished this 2 days ago and really enjoyed it! The characters are so well developed so YES I would like to second this recommendation
i just read it and it was such a comforting & warm read
Hey do u have any recommendations close to that, I want books that don’t include alot of relationship/love yk something that’ll benefit me and I’ll have fun reading or a simple fun novel
The 7 husbands of Evelyn Hugo is a great book to get people out of a reading slump! It's one I think you'll really enjoy Nayna!😊 Character driven, a mystery, queer romances, and historical fiction! Btw I also loved the British humour in 'This is going to hurt'!! Great vid!!
I completely agree with this! I started that book and I haven’t stopped reading since then.
yes!! Nayna you NEED to read this!! And The Girl with the Louding Voice!
this book actually got me IN a reading slump lmao
Norwiegan Wood - reminiscent of student life & set in Tokyo (suicide trigger warning)
Normal people - relatable relationships (BBC tv series available)
Conversation with Friends - relatable relationships
Never let me go - dystopian
Flat share - lighthearted
Ghosts - adult life & comparing progress
(Everything I know about love)
The midnight Library - non-classic love story (suicide trigger warning but generally an uplifting book)
This is going to hurt - diary of a student doctor & funny
A thousand Splendid Suns - heartbreaking but so emotionally investing (writer of the Kite Runner)
Such a fun age - life in your 20s & themes of racism & pricellage
THANK YOU SO MUCH !! 💌
You mean Never Let me Go - dystopian 😉
@@inessilva9370 ahahaha thank you, must have had Lewis Capaldi on my mind 😂
Thank you 💓
Nayna pleaaase read "A song of Achilles" if you haven't, and also "Daisy Jones and The Six". Both are amazing! I always read your recommendations and find our taste quite alike!
dude I just started reading song of achilles, im excited to see what happens lol
@@sparkle3024 I just started too!!
@@sparkle3024 this is my favourite book, i hope u enjoy it :) prepare to cry and cry and cry
@@sparkle3024 pls let me know what u think of it when you’re done! :)
@@noor-np9uy duuuude i just finished it last week and hands down the BEST book ive ever read. literally tearing up just thinking of it ahha
never let me go is one of my absolute favourites. it’s terrifying because unlike most dystopian settings they never once think about fighting back, because they’ve been conditioned to not think twice. it’s devastating.
yes!!! theres a video somewhere of ishiguro speaking about that aspect of it- i really love that he chose to focus on a different narrative than i would expect!
I think you would love "Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine"! It's this really funny, heartwarming book about friendship, but also deals with mental health and abuse.
I've also just finished "Firekeeper's Daughter" and loved it:)
A little life is probably the best book I've ever read. It's a long one but I've never seen characters written so intricately I truly felt like I knew them. Definitely a must read if you haven't read it
yeah a little life is my favourite book, it’s quite long but i genuinely wanted it to be longer!!
Read the trigger warnings before you read this book!
Would you recommend waiting until after uni is finished to read it?
@@sophieworthington3285 you can read it any time, I read it when I was 14 and loved it
do you think it’s suitable for a 14 year old? i feel like i’m pretty mature for my age but i’ve heard it’s really disturbing and i’m a lil sensitive
I recommend
-To Kill A Mockinbirg by Harper Lee
- Beach Read by Emily Henry
- the switch and the Flatshare by Beth O'leary
- Thursday Murder Club, Richard Osman
All immerse you in their story and are easy to read, yet fulfilling and well-written! 💛
This comes at a perfect time because my only resolution for this year is to start reading again and not stop. Architecture school and its residual exhaustion I felt during the holidays really took me out of reading and I hate that. I literally have a picture of me reading at the corner of a class in my high school, I was that big of a reader. I had my head inside a book always, shutting myself out from anything happening around me, and I loved that feeling, how all the noise around me would slowly disappear as I got sucked deeper and deeper into the book I was reading, how it felt like the world revolved around that book, the characters and their story only. I want to feel like that again. So thank you so much for motivating me throughout last year for me to make this a resolution this year since I know I will have the time soon enough to be able to do this. Love youu bye
I loved that the books you recommended balanced each other out. There was the right amount of every topic😌 which is something I want to try this year I tend to stick to like 4 genres when there are so many!!
Thanks for this Nayna 💕😊
I haven't read any book in my entire life but Nayna makes reading looks so peaceful and addicting I hope I read more books after these recommendations...❤❤
i've been listening to ur podcast a lot more recently and I listened to ur most recent one the other day while I was showering and omg, loved loved loved listening to it! it feels just like im catching up w a friend and u have so many interesting things to say and ur voice is so soothing and calm!
also a thousand splendid suns is amazing!!! i read it quite a few years ago and it’s another one that stuck with me a lot. it’s so heartbreaking but i love how intense it made me feel for the characters :(
looooooved this video - I got back into my reading gear this summer ! really loved the girl with the dragon tattoo, find me, a little life and in cold blood ! and fave fave fave book ever is catcher in the rye. happy 2022 xoxoxo
I love when you talk about books!! ✨💗
i read never let me go because of you! i absolutely loved how you don’t completely understand everything that’s going on from the start. it was a lot different from other books that i read and it’s one that’s stuck with me!! 💗
Loved this video I really want to pick up more books in 2022!!😭
I'm at uni also have a UA-cam channel which you've properly motivated me to keep going with, because I just love making the videos. Keep inspiring nayna xx
your hair looks really pretty here!! I think one of my favourite books this year was interview with the vampire (and its sequel the vampire lestat) by anne rice. gorgeous writing style and really rich characters. hard recommend!
loved this video, such nice suggestions x
always love a good book video
these were already in my TBR but now i'm even more convinced... can't wait to be done with exams to start reading more !!
yes! always looking for book recs and will def check these out

this is so lovely🥺🥺 thank you so much!💗
a thousand splendid suns ripped my heart out and stamped on it violently and repeatedly
Loved so many of these books !! Some other ones I’ve loved recently: Daisy Jones & the Six, The People We Keep, the Nightingale, Beautiful Country, Educated, Greenlights
Hi Nayna, i really like your videos. Never stop plz. I also discover your podcast and i really enjoy it. Even if im older than you (im 31..) it feels good to hear your thought , fear etc cuz at the end we al think the same Thank you . 😊
i love you girlllllll omg def gonna read all of these
Loved this video idea! Just what i needed 😍
Hi Nayna! Happy new year to you. I want to thank you for inspiring me to read more in the past year. Honestly, watching your vlogs and seeing you read made me want to get back into reading. Thank you and stay safe 🥰🤗
sending you the best vibes for this year!! thank u so much
Thank you so much for those recommandations ! I'm french but also enjoying reading english written books from time to time. I've picked The Midnight Library a couple of weeks ago and I'm going to start reading it today, and I also bought Normal people which I'm really excited about. Take care and have a lovely Sunday, love from Paris :)
Love this list Nayna!! You HAVE to read The Beekeeper of Aleppo - such an amazing story I was completely mesmerised for weeks! If you liked A Thousand Splendid Suns you will LOVE it! 💕💕💕
I read the midnight library because you said you liked it in a video and I loved it so so much, it was so easy to read and I just loved how beautifully it was written.
thank you for this video Nayna :)
yayy! i am currently reading 'midnight library' but i have no book to read after, so this really helped, thank you
I can also really recommend you "The Midnight Lie" it’s so good!
Norwegian Wood is my favourite book!! I appreciated the ending when I re read the first chapter. I felt that the nature of the book, him reflecting on this part of his life, means he stopped the cycle. I was also frustrated by how women were portrayed, but that’s definitely Murakami
my fav books i read last year!! :
-we were liars by e lockhart (fastest i’ve ever read a book ngl)
-the humans by matt haig (personally liked better than midnight library)
-the thursday murder club by richard osman (so so funny but a good plot line)
-red white and royal blue (enemies to lovers trope)
-and where the crawdads sing by delia owens - one of my mums fav books - murder mystery, classism, romance and scenery all in one !!!
also so many if your recs are on my bookshelf rn - currently reading flat share and i love! 🤍🤍🤍
I agree w everything u said about never let me go, it's literally one of the best books I've ever read.
Loveyou nayna🥺❤️
i loveee this vid !!!
Soooo many great recommendations, I heard of most of these but have only read the Sally Rooney books. I really look forward to reading A Thousand Splendid Suns though, because I adore Hosseini's writing style.
Based on these recommendations I think you would really like Piranesi by Susanna Clarke and Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi.
I just recently came across your page and I'm so glad I did! I look forward to catching up on your videos.
some of my favorite books which i can totally recommend to anyone!!
- aristotle & dante
- the secret history
- the apple tart of hope
- one last stop
- last night at the telegraph club
Yay! Two of my favorite 2021 books made it to your list! (Norwegian Wood and Never Let Me Go!) Here are some of my recommendations:
“The Count of Monte Cristo” it’s long but omg my favorite book ever.
“Howl’s moving castle” it’s the book that the ghibli movie was inspired by and it is just so funny and heartwarming
“Anne of Green Gables” just so so cute and lighthearted, also a lot of cottage core vibes
“The ocean at the end of the lane” it’s more of a fairytale-like book with a bit of magic but not full-on fantasy
“A little princess” I haven’t read it yet, but I plan to soon. I’ve read the first few pages and really loved it
a few of my recommendations: Asylum road by Olivia Sudjic, Second Place by Rachel Cusk (I think you will really enjoy this) and Trick Mirror by Jia Tolentino. Happy reading
Love this! You best believe I added a few to my goodreads wtr list. The midnight library was definitely my favorite book I read in 2021. Some recommendations:
- The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab
- Writers & Lovers by Lily King
- In Five Years by Rebecca Serle
hey nayna!! thnx for recommending coz this year my goal is to read more..i will definitely try and read all of these!!
ly
a thousand splendid suns is definitely one of my favourite books ever, the authors other books like the kite runner r rlly good aswell
just read conversations with friends & normal people last yr (mostly bc of the show) and i totally agree that sally rooney takes “mundane” stories then finds a way to keep the readers interested esp with the certain bond/ connection the characters have with each other
Girllll u look so cuteeeee! Great video!!
Omg theres so many amazing reads here!!! I can’t wait to read Norwegian Wood this year! From your faves I highly recommend Untold Night and Day by Bae Suah, After Dark by Murakami and The Secret History by Donna Tartt! (I have tons more recs on my channel but I feel like you’d LOVE those)🤍
oooo thank u so so much !!! adding to my list!!
loved these recommendations, also that thumbnail popped off!!
hehe thank you!!💗💗
just kids by Patti smith! I read it a few weeks ago and it's easily one of my favorites now. also crying in h mart and my year of rest and relaxation :)
Great to read and exercising the brain and use your imagination Nayna. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕 Nayna. A good selection of books.
Would recommend “Girl, Woman, Other” - my favourite book ever! Would also recommend “Three Women” by Lisa Taddeo ❤️ I also read “Betty” which was reallyyyy heavy and needs a LOT of trigger warnings but it’s so beautifully written and heartbreaking
i wouldn't mind your channel turning into a booktube one haha!!! would love monthly what i read each month iish videos!! 💘🕊✨
my fav person talking about my favourite thing in the world. Reading thank you so much for this one. Pure bliss 💜✨
I’ll recommend you.
1. The invisible life of addie larue
2. It ends with us
3. The stationery shop
this is such a good recommendation list! i just finished ghosts this morning and loved it. thinking about read norwegion wood soon, although everyone does have that caveat about the way he writes women which makes me hesitant. the book exciting times by naoise dolan has major sally rooney vibes, would recommend!
10/10 recommend The Kashmir Shawl!
Love the video! I’ve been reading the Bridgerton and Outlander series. Also read the Sally Rooney books. My favorite book is What red was by Rosie Price
we have such a similar taste in books, i think you'd really enjoy celeste ng's books, (either one is amazing) little fires everywhere or everything i never told you
all the books you recommended that i've read i loved! so will definitely be looking into the ones i haven't
my recommendations are:
taylor jenkins reid's books (you've probably heard about them but they deserve the hype!)
nina lacour's books - particularly we are okay
one day by david nicholls (if you liked the flat share and dolly alderton you'll probably like this, edinburgh also features in it)
i also started to read more in 2021 and one of my 2022 goals is to continue that! i'm currently reading hamnet
I absolutely love your recommendation videos!
Where the crawdads sing is a beautiful read, I also highly recommend It ends with us (this had me in tears). If you're searching for more informative, non fiction then Love and Math by Edward Frenkel and lastly, A little History of the World by E.H. Gombrich. Sending love to all ❤
I'm reading Never Let me Go and I'm lovin it so far
The Memory Police, I really recommend that book. :)
Love this video ✨I’m currently reading “Never let me go” and loving it! I would recommend “Before the coffee gets cold” by Toshikazu Kawaguchi 🌸xx
Writing all these down!! Last year was hands down my best year for reading so I’d definitely recommend where the crawdads sing by Delian Owens and The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett 📖💗
wanna recommend leave the world behind by rumaan alam - similar vibe to never let me go!
I love your Vlog🎈❤️
Nayna I cannot wait to read norwegian wood! My recommendations for you and for anyone who’s reading this is definitely “the song of Achilles” and “the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo”
Would recommend Earthlings by Sayaka Murata, that is what got me out of my reading slump at the start of September! Quite trigger warning heavy so make sure to research that before hand
i love Clockmaker's Daughter and Were'd Ya Go Bernadette for good page turners with some mystery!
i would really recommend 'piranesi' by susanna clarke for anyone who wants something thought provoking and unique! also would recommend all of donna tartt's works (the secret history, the goldfinch etc) and anything by albert camus!
Happy New Year 🎈 love from India 🌻
i think we have really similar taste and i recommend exciting times by naoise dolan and luster by raven leilani !
Love this video! I just finished reading The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood which I would highly recommend! 100% agree that The Midnight Library is so good! 💗
I also strongly recommend "In the sea there are crocodiles" by Fabio Geda. It's about a young afghan refugee and it is a true story as well. It was so beautifully written and heart-wrenching as well!
Some recommendations:
The Secret History by Donna Tartt
Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky
The Outsider by Albert Camus
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
Yes, they are classics and they may sound daunting but they are incredible! I beg you to read them!
Have you read The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt ? In my opinion it's her absolute best novel !!
No correlation but I love your hair
Would recommend "the defining decade" by a psychologist Meg Jay. It's about how you can do a lot and make changes in your twenties! Love your videos and thank you for the recommendations!
Thanks for the recs! My recs for you: the seven husbands of evelyn hugo, red white and royal blue, aristotle and dante, exciting times, they never learn, six of crows, one last stop, we were liars, act your age eve brown, beach read, daisy jones and the six
I read Such a Fun Age after you posted about it, it was such a realistic book that I felt frustrated at the end. Thousand Splendid Suns is probably my favorite book of all time.
Thanks for the recommendations. If you are into Japanese literature, I'd like to recommend No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai. I just read it recently and I felt so related to the character. Happy reading.
I just finished Exciting Times by Naorise Dolan and really enjoyed, similar-ish to Sally Rooneys writing style and also one of those books which don’t have a super intense plot but still enjoyable to read!
Thank you for the recs! Can i make a couple? "The Book Thief" - probably my favourite book. "Dogs at the Perimeter" is stunning......"The Beekeeper of Aleppo" is also incredible.
i love how interested in reading you are
Nice recommendation 👍
ive read a lot of books in the last year from your recommendations! need to try Ishiguro and Murakami next!! id recommend Gods of Jade and Shadow - Silvia Moreno-Garcia for you :)
Same with the comments, for someone getting into the groove of reading, 7 husbands of evelyn hugo is definitely where to start. Reading it feels like an actual autobiography and you have to keep reminding yourself it isnt.
Also! I highly HIGHLY rec picture of dorian gray and shadow of the wind. Both very rich language and gripping plots
If you loved ‘Never Let Me Go’ , definitely read Ishiguro’s book ‘Klara and the Sun’. I just finished it and i really enjoyed it ! The concept was fascinating to me !
Definitely check out the kite runner if you haven't already. Its also by Khaled Hosseini and set in Afghanistan
Taylor Jenkins Reid is amazing! I've read the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Daisy Jones & the Six and Malibu Rising and they were all amazing! Also love Celeste Ng's books Everything I Never Told You and Little Fires Everywhere - I think you would really enjoy them!
I'm currently reading everything I never told you for the second time it's good!
The best books I read this year were The People We Keep, Invisible (Auster) and The Midnight Library
i highly recommend narcissus and goldmund by hermann hesse, which is probably my favourite book ever :-)
book recs:
bunny by mona awad (sephy n wing’s book club read for this month !!!)
the song of achilles by madeline miller
the virgin suicides by jeffery eugenides
the bell jar by sylvia plath (ofc)
the vanishing half, brit bennett
I’m reading Harry Potter series in English (not my first language) the „Goblet of Fire” at the moment. I have recently finished „the Bell Jar” by Sylvia Plath which was extraordinary. I got „Normal People” by Sally Rooney for Christmas so that one will be next :))
I think as well, reading is a skill. The more you read the easier it is to read. I find that when I've not read for a little bit it is harder to get into the swing of it.
